CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
Dreadful State of Affairs In Family
in Berlin.

An awful story of cruelty and wrong
In Berlin. In the Anklamerstrasse a
married couple have been living for
many years with their children. Every
body in the house knew hat in the one
room and kitchen which formed the
domiclle of these people dirt and dis
order We're the order of the day. When
the eldest child was old enough to go
to school Church Councillor Richter, as
head of the school committee for the
poor, received a doctors certificate
stating the boys delicate health pre-
vented his attendance. A year later
the same gentleman received a similar
certificate as regards the second child,
which was now also old enough to go
TO school.
Mr.. Richter now considered 1t his
duty to see into the matter, and at the
same time he resolved to take the
children away from their parents. A
hard fight with the board of guardians
ensued, for the father and mother were
still living and were strong and quite
able to work. Finally, however, the
councillors arguments were crowned
with success and he was commissioned
to take the children to the orphan asy-
lum.
This piece of work was undertaken
with the assistance of the police. When
the officials with a nurse entered the
dwelling a horrible sight presented 1t
self to them. In the room, the air OF

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
RANGED years are realized by compare

rious troubles on account of their pecu-

rance concerning themselves, all COM

and fill their later years with sn differing.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much 10 make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ner Of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy OF
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. j. C.. Orms, of 220
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which Is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PfNKHAa;-I feel 1t my
duty to tell all suffering women that I

and hot flashes. Feet and hands were

Since taking your remedies l am better

gone, have no pain in o~varies, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and

The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi-
nee in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia Z. Pinkham. aud
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

Rare Old Type of Old Stone sun-Dial
in Scotland.
Most people flatter themselves that
they know a sun-dial when they see
one; but few, on first sight, would take
this slender column for one of those
out-es-date timekeepers. There are
several kinds of sun-dials in existence
and this particular example, which
stands in a quiet, grassy nook at the
head Of Lochgoil, Scotland, represents
the rare composite type. Although the
natives of Lochgollhead are every sea
son piled with more questions about
this old stone than any other object in
the vicinity, no one appears to have
thought It worth while to unearth the
facts of its history. Little OF that his
tory can be learned from the dial itself.
