Tnr SILENT CITY.

tT.,c words sConticuere o:anes," from the 2 st Lne of the second book If the -Eneid, |" ae,e found scrawled on wall excavated at [ Eompeii.l
 Silent they all hecame''-stranee words to be Uncovered in the dust, where ages keep Their ruins, old and deep, Where in that buried city by the sea, Tll homes they builded and no longer need, Silent all are indeed tid he whose pencil traced the letters there Do it for love of the Virgilian phrase In those far distant days, Dr see, by some presentiment, in the air The shadow of the undiscerning fate That laid all desolatef These silent people, these whose names are
 fed,
 Who day by day walked this deserted place And saw each others face We need not ask what human lives they led, Or with what prayers in that wild storm of
 flame
 Silent they all became Men of our kind, they loved the earth and air And joy of being, loved to buy and sell. Loved pleasure overwell; Knew hope, ambition, disappointment, care; Called oft for help on some all pitying name; So till the silence came. Out of the dust that slumbers on the ground What sounds unto the poets ears arise, What visions to his eyesl - Then in the presents loud, tumultuous sound He finds what silences where men and walls Are as the dust that fallsi

The women of to-day are not as strong as their grandmothers.
 They are bearing a burden in silence that grows heavier day by day; that is saPping their vitality, c1ouding t--oir hap piness, weighing them down with t-,e wee of i'll health.
 Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of AZ Michi- gan Avenue, Detroit, is typical woman of to-day. A wife with such ambition ss only loving wife can have. Pat tie joys of her life were marred by the ez- istence of disease.
 Suffering as thousands of her sisters have suffered, she almost despaired of Mc and yet she was cured.
 To-day she is well!
 She wants others to profit by her ex- perience; to grow well; to enjoy health; to be as happy as she is.
 "For five years suffered with ovarian troub1e," is Mrs. C1ark's own version of the story. "I was not free one single day from headache and intense twitching pains in my neck and shoulders.
 "For months at time would te con- fined to my bed.
 At times black spots wou1d appear before my eyes and would become Blind. My nerves were in such state that a step on the floor unsettled me.

 "Health and strength is mine and am thankful to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People for the blessing"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have proved a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body, creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system.

Coleby At the first gray streak of light he had given one short order: l "Send man on the topsail yard and | let him keep a smart lookout.

 "Say, Coleby, guess you are won- dering whar I'm bound, eh? Wa-al, Pm seekin New Jerusalem "It don't make mite of difference to me, Cap'n Cushman, retorted Cole by. "I didn't care if you was bound | to''-

 ''I can't rightly say. Might be a dead whale or boat 'Tain't such a mighty big thing anyhow. Captain Cushman sprawled spiderlike up the ratlines and, having gained the mizzen top, directed his spyglass to the distant object.
 "By thunder, Coleby, thar's boat! !''
 In half an hour two rescued men were being tended as carefully as though by women s fingers. In the terror of the past night the other had crossed the river of death.
 Itwas many hours before the younger of the two could speak. Then Captain Cushman interviewed him.

The CalliRraphy of the Dumas.

Both the Dumas hands are those of busy men, but the elder Dumas could go on forever. He never stopped to punctuate. One of his literary canons was that clear style punctuates itself. There is good deal in this. The son never missed comma, semicolon, colon or full stop. He had not the father's fa- cility, which resembled a tropical veg citation at the end of the rainy season.
 The younger Dumas beat his brains terribly and forced them to bring forth plays But his letters were jeux d'esprit. He ought to have been a preaching monk or an advocate. He liked to preach and point morals and to kick his fair penitents to give them real cause to cry. But he was not the brute he liked to pass for being. Nothing can be more refined than his handwriting The original manuscripts of his plays are scarcely legible, the corrections and erasures are so numerous. But he did not let the copyist or indeed any strdn- ger see them, but rewrote and added pungent and pregnant sentences as he did so. The first thoughts of some au- thors are the best; they were the worst of Dumas fills unless when he was an swering letter. Answering, mind. It was then a case of steel responding to flint Sparks flew. If there was an ex- plosive about, it went off.-London Truth .--s..

A LESSON FRoM MEXICO.


 Destrnotion of the Forests Has Brought
 Drought and Desoiatiou.
 The early conquerors of this country and their followers of today have been very wasteful and careless in the dispo sition of their forests. with the result of aocelerating the date when they will be compelled to face problem of forest preservation at considerable cost to themselves. Denkens of the northwest are familiar with the rapidity with which the valuable timber areas have been denuded, until now there is scarce ly 8 merchantable tree between Ar kansas and the Canadian line. Many notes of warnings accompanied this de- struction of the northern soft wood for ests, but they fell upon unwilling ears Only after it was too late to stop the mischief did tine country begin to recog- nize the indirect value of forests to agri- culture and that no high degree of civ iliZation can exist permanently with out some systematic and adequate forest management. In India the destruction of the forests commenced 1000 years ago. and that country, having at last seen the folly of such waste. is now en- gagged ill the expensive undertaking of reforesting large areas.
 The effect upon rainfall and the pro- ductiveness of the cultivated tracts has already been acknow ledged by investi- gators. When Cortes first saw the val ley of Mexico, it was covered with woods, not dense, but abundant, from the timber line on the volcanoes down to the waters edge. The reckless cut ting down of the forests by the Span iards in the first century following the conquest in 1521 increased evaporation, caused the lakes to dry up, led to ire quent droughts, followed by occasional floods, and changed the climate of Anahuac.
 Any old rancher will tell stories of streams that flow ed when be was boy and will show the dry arroyo now. They all claim that the tablelands had timber in considerable quntities where now there are barren deserts.
 This government has taken some stCps for the landowners to assist in this work by planting trees and irrigating them for a few years until they have taken good root. By using good Judg ment ill selecting the trees and in plant ing in a few years the compIa ints which are now so frequent of years oi drougbts will soon become fewer and fewer until they finally cease.

Mrs. w. Z. PAXTON, youngstown,

gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It Is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
Others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. ], had leucorrhea badly, and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"1took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia e. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle felt 80 much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and we'll as any
one.
~ think It is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend 1t to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham Is freely
offered to NIL expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. II Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mra Pinkham's
address Is Lynn, Mass.
