MRS. PTNKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of
female weal1nessa are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

It is suggested that ON Jan. 1, 1900,
a new division of the'tyear into IS
months be instituted. If such division
were made, the first IL months would
have % days, or four weeks each, and
the new month 80 days, to make 800,
and 80 in leap years. After few days
there would be no need to refer to calen-
dars, as the same day of the week would
have the same date through the year.
If Jan. were, say, Monday, every Mon
day would be the LIST, 9Th, 10th and 22d;
every Tuesday the I'd, 9th, 10th and
23d, and SO on through the year. The
changes Of the moon would be on about
the same dates through the year, and
many calculations, like interest, dates
of maturing notes. Easter and many
other important dates would be simpli-

A BALLAOE OF PARTED LIVES.

Princess, a song above the tides,
Above the wintry winds that blow
Above the wave that quickly glides
And dashes madly to and fro,
Sing me of other days to know,
OF souls that in garden reap
Their wage of duty done below.
Loose thou these memories in sleepl
Tell me what dark, eternal ides
Across that space their shadows throw,
Clouding the happy light that rides
Unto these lands of pain and woe.
Brother and sister gone, forego
Fairy hilltops and valleys deep.
Come, or, if this be never so,
Loose ye these memories in sleepl
All, well, a splendid city hides
The little boy of long ago
Beneath village church wall bides
A slender mound above the snow,
And thus the feet years come and go.
Poor hands of mine that cannot keep
Backward the waters ebb and flow.
Loose ye these memories in sleep.

The attitude of the Conservatives,
however, does not mean that they ac-

it's establishment The Conservatives
will only accept the positions to which
they may be elected so as to watch
the proceedings of the autonomists,
defend their interests and ENABLE
them to protest in Parliament against
the new regime, against the calum-
MES circulated by the Madrid press
and against their arbitrary exclusion
from popular representation in the

claim to represent eighty per cent of

that they are paying 10 per cent of all
the taxes
