III health Is a luxury that only 49,
the rich can afford. and that no one can en-
Joy. Every woman is not so situated that
she can be an interesting invalid, or rather,
an uninterestiug invalid, for there never
was an interesting one.
The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
gans Is certain to become an invalid. No
woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy, amiable wife and a compe-
tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap
the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines
of suffering upon the face, destroy the tenn
per, make the once bright eyes dull and
the once active brain sluggish, and trans
form vivacious woman into a weak, sickly
invalid
The one sure, speedy. permanent cure
for all disorders of the distinctly feminine
nature is DR.. Pierce's FavoTite Prescription.
II acts directly on the delicate and import
ant organs concerned, and makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It
cures the internal liberation and inhamma-
ton that give rise to a facilitating drain on
the system. II is the best medicine for
overworked, rundown 4" women.
About six years ago my wife became afflicted
with female weakness" writes the Rev. /. ].
CGppedge, of Elmo Kaufman Co., Texas She
could not stand on her feet OF get in any position
in which she did not suffer great pain. She
deSpaired of ever again being well. She took six
bottles of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
has been well and happy for twelve months"

German Servant Girls.

There is an organization in Germany

which devotes itself to the servant girl
question. 1t has places for the train
ing of servants, and it gives prizes for
good ones. A girl who stays five years
at one place receives a prize Of a gold
pin, with an inscription which states
that she is a good servant: and after
she has been ten years in the same
family she gets ten marks, or $3.50 in
gold At the end of twenty years she
gets S. in gold; and If she remains with
the same family thirty years she re-
ceives at the close of this period a
present Of thirty marks, or Sc. 1t is not
uncommon for servants to be twenty or
thirty years in the same family.

to encourage good service 1t deals

Ceylon's Ancient Grandeur.

Ceylon is rich in prehistoric monu-
ments. ancient Hindoo and Buddhist
temples. and there are ruins there of
lofty pagados which must originally
have been over three hundred feet in
height. There is ample evidence to
show that there once existed on the isl
and a great and powerful empire. The
remains OF stone palaces as we'll rs
temples is ample proof Of this. There
are also evidences of an elaborate sys-
TEN Of irrigation canals. covering por.
tions OF the country like a network.
and so excellently constructed as to be
the marvel Of modern engineers.
No one can say what caused the de-
cadence and ruin Of the ancient CAPT.
tails Of Ceylon. which. like Delhi. have
crumbled away. leaving only barren
memorials of their former existence.
The carved pillars. ornamented frag-
ments Of temples. and stone slabs skill
fully wrought, which are now scattered
through the jungle and In some in
stances overgrown by dense forests, at
test both material greatness and far
reaching antiquity. 1t would seem as
though nature had tried to cover up the
wrinkles of age with the fresh bloom
of vegetation. These mementoes are OF
race which trod the beautiful island
possibly. before the pyramids or the
sphinx were reared.

with quill standing up at the left
side.
While we are on the subject of milli-
merry, here is good suggestion for ty-
ing bow. In the first place, no bow
is complete without wire tape to keep
the loops in place. One also requires
some fine wire for the process of tying
an artistic bow. Seize the ribbon near
the end-1 say seize advisedly, for moth
ing but firm grasp is requisite to
the tying OF bow-leaving enough to
form an end of proper length. The rib
bon should be laid in tiny pleats at the
point where the fingers lay hold on
both sides Of the loop. Having formed
one loop of the desired length, wind it
tightly just at the edge of the fingers
with the fine wire aforementioned
Then make another loop, and secure it
with wire in the same way, and as
many more as may be desired, after
which they may be all tied together
with a knot formed by the two ends.
The loops may afterwards be cut open
if more ends are desired. In making
the bow, strip of narrow wire tape
should be held in the center of the
ribbon, carried through the loops on the
inside, and wound with the fine wire
in the same manner as the outer rib
bon. When loops are cut open, the wire
can be cut off close to the base, where
the ends will not show.
