A Graphic story which shows How Sci.

dition.
In a large silk mill, where the looms were
thrumming and all was noise and hustle,
a woman, skilled in manufacturing and
dyeing delicate silks, was toiling. She
looked tired and detected.
Her checks were sunken, and there were
dark lines beneath her eyes. You could
easily detect the peculiar sallow look
which comes upon the faces Of all m
at certain periods. Occasionally her face,
which was usually bright and attractive,
would be clouded by pain just az the sun.
light Is sometimes shut OF by passing
clouds. 1t was easy to see she was not
happy.
And yet she worked, struggling along
when she should have been at home, and
possibly in bed. Poor little woman How
brave she was In her suffering. and how
faithful. And yet, during all that time,
she was unconsciously bringing disaster to
her employer. Every moment OF that day,
while she was 80 bravely struggling, the
exhalations from her body were running
the delicate colors of the silk upon which
she was working.
Alas, she did not know It! But when the
choice silks came upon the market and 10
was found that the colorings were ruined,
an investigation was made and the poor
little woman was discharged
For WHAT
Simply because the sickness, which
comes to every woman at certain times,
had, unknown, im~perceptibly, colored tn
gossamer silks over which she was toilinR.
This Is a sad story, but it is absolutely
true. 1t happened in Newark, N. j., and
furnishes a very valuable lesson. It shows
that women, however careful they may
be. are often, unknown to themselves, ex.
erting an influence, not only upon the per
sons, but also upon the things about them,
which is by no means agreeable. It IL un
fortunate that such should be tho case, but
1t Is none the less true.
And yet, fortunately, IL 10 o fact, proven

there has never been but one discovery for

and SO efficient, that It IL being used

Randolph Howell Of Washington says upon
this most important subject:

Women should not suffer, need not
suffer. need not be unpleasing to those
about them, II they will only use proper
care and the best inventions of science for
their help. There IL every reason why they
should be both healthy n happy; there
