had worked quite hard When nv
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. 1

London gossip tells the truth. The
author Of the Canadian ScrapboolS" is
native of Canada. but has lived
abroad and In England since her mar
riage. She has not only talent for
letters, but is adept ut art, and spends
most of her time in Italy. With French
blood in her veins, and with perfect
knowledge Of German and Italian,
Lady Jephson Is most charming type
of cosmopolitan. Although her love of
art ties her to Italy for the greater part
of the year, Lady Jephson has managed
to travel very much in other countries.
At present she Is established in pretty
new house in Bolton street, London,
where she and her husband will spend
all of the summer. An evidence of her
ability in art is seen in the beautiful
drawings illustrating the ''scrapboOk"
and in some of the drawings she recent
ly sent to Prince Charles of Denmark
as wedding gift.

Coal Period Trees.

The approach from the south to La
Grange, Ala, Is marked by the fine
view into the valley of the Tennessee
River, 300 or 400 feet below, which 1t
presents, and by the masses of sand
stone lying around the village. where
It has been precipitated from the cliffs
above by the wearing away of the lime
stone under them. But the most inter-
esting and remarkable feature of the
locality, says Henry McCalley in his
geological report of the valley region.
and the one for which La Grange will
always be distinguished, notes Popular
Science Monthly, is the profusion OF
the remains Of fossil plants. Nowhere
can one gain better ideas of the mag
nificence of the fora of the coal period
than at this place. Trunks of lepido-
dendrom two or three feet in dame
ter lie buried and protruding from the
debris of the sandstone. These trunks
have in general preserved their form
and are not at all compressed, whereby
they show that they stood erect in the
beds that inclosed them. Although
stripped of their bark, the scars are
plainly impressed on their surface.

But Help cspe, the Cub Was Rescued
and the Boa Was Slain.
A boa constructor will swallow any
thing at all when 1t wakes up hungry
and finds that dinner is not ready. This
Is the story of boa which swallowed
a cub lion whole. The cub was recov-
cred by an operation. but the swallower
died. The operation was the simple
one Of cutting the snake In two, and
nothing discourages snake more than
that.
1t happened In Argentine, Kanv in
Lemon Brothers circus. The big boa
woke up hungry, and there being no
one around. the reptile began casting
about for something to eat. Nearby
was a cage Of lions, including a cub.
The cub was sleeping close to the bars.
The tail attracted the boa's attention.
II man eats OK tail, why should not
cubs tail make a good supper for a
hungry boa? The boa swallowed the
tail. The cub did not discover the fact,
but slept calmly on. Perhaps the snake
liked the sample and concluded to eat
everything In sight, or possibly it dis
covered too late that the tail was fast
to the body, and decided that the east
est way out of the difficulty was to eat
its way out.
Owing to the formation of boa's
asophagus and stomach, food which
once passes the throat cannot return.
Spreading its jaws to their utmost ca
pacity the boa swallowed at one gulp
the headquarters of the cub. Then the
cub awoke, and objected to playing the
role OF Jonah to the snakes whale. 1t
cried and its mother awoke. The old
female lion took In the situation ut a
glance. The snake took In more of the
cub, until only the forequarters and
head were left outside. The cubs dam
roared and woke up every animal in the
circus. The lions, tigers, hyenas and
wolves roared and howled. Monkeys
and parrots chartered. the elephants
trumpeted and made frantic efforts to
break loose.
1t Is characteristic of menagerie
that whenever anything out of the ordi-
nary happens, all the animals take n
personal interest in it. The turmoil
aroused the keepers, who rushed in to
ascertain the cause of it, and quiet the
animals. They quickly saw the cause
and rushed to the rescue. The snake
tried, literally, to back out, but he could
not. 1t was hard to tell whether he

Into the heart of the hills" to breathe
the fresh air untainted. There are
many to whom such vacation means
rest from nerve strain and toll that mas
become distasteful, whose pocketbooks

fine wardrobes. And there Is many
man-yes, and many a woman-who,
used to all the refinements of life, looks
hack upon days of primitive freedom
spent under a roof of canvas as among
the happiest ever known. One never
forgets such resting times, and before

iege of living as the birds live.
Vacation during the past ten years

Female Made Her Mate sit ON the
Eggs During the Voyage.
On board the Neptune liner Delano,
Captain James, which arrived recently
from Rotterdam, Is clear case Of pet
ticoat government. p
When the Delano left Rotterdam a
pair Of pigeons were occupying loft
on the vessel. On the voyage across
the Atlantic two eggs appeared in the
nest, over which there was a real
pigeon chuckle that drew the attention
Of the crew, and investigation proved
that family was expected. Great care
was taken by the sailors In wild wealth
err to see that the mother and her eggs
were not rolled out or washed by the
seas.
Then the sailors discovered that
there was more petticoat government
visible in the treatment Of the male by
the female than was recognized in the
ethics of the married men who were on
board. AS an instance it was seen that
after the mother had taken 'dog
watch" keeping the eggs warm, she
would catch her better half by the col
lar and drag him into the nest and
make him take her place on the eggs.
No sailor would stand such treatment
as that without complaining to the
British Consul or the Board Of Trade.
The male pigeon performed his duties
without a murmur and the eggs in the
nest promise to yield sea crop Of
pigeons.
Again the female dragged the male
into the nest and made him take his
place on the eggs. Then she stood out
side the nest and spruced her plumage,
which she had disregarded at sea. Then
looking several times into the home and
seeing that everything was all right
she raised her wings and flew away.
At tea time she had not returned and

ad the cub, Or the cub bad him. or both

had the cub, or the cub had him, or both
held each other. Some of the men seiz-
ed the snake, while others took hold of
the forelegs Of the cub and tried to pull
him out by main strength. But he
would not come. On the contrary, he
showed tendency to slip further in.
The men saw that it was a case of the
life of the cub or the snake and as lions
are worth more than boas they quickly
decided which should be sacrificed. One
of them got knife and cut the snake
In two with single sweep Of it. Then
the cub was extricated not much the
worse for spending short season in a
snakes stomach. The boa usually
winds himself about it's victims, and
brushes their bones before swallowing
them, but this one was in hurry, and
omitted this preliminary. That was
where he made q mistake. Had he done
so his life would have been spared on
the theory that live boa is better than
dead lion.
