Genuine regret will be awakened in
most of the civilized nations of the
world by the news of the death of
Edouard Remenyi, the Hungarian vi
olinist In spite of his well known
eccentricities Remenyi managed to
hold both the admiration of the gen
eral public and the esteem of profess
sional musicians. He could play clas
steal music after fashion all his own
and he could give popular tunes; he
could improvise by the hour and hold
interest; he could produce at will a
tone so broad that it seemed to come
from something bigger than a violin,
and then he could vary it with a tone
which was a mere shred of sound

Daniel O'Connell, though brilliant
and witty, was daringly vulgar when
he set out to attack an opponent At a
Dublin election he started to assail Re-
corder Shaw, who was very dignifed

fellow whose visage would frighten a
horse from his oats. The lord mayor,
who presided, remarked on these ameni-
ties and said it might be supposed such
a critic, like Hamlet's father, was en-
dowed with Hyperion curls and the
front Of Jove himself, instead of
wrinkled brow and a scratch wig. AS
for himself, he would not be unwilling
to compete with the demagogue before

him as nature made him without the
aid of the barber. O'Connell strobe to

his wig and pointing to his naked head
covered with stubble Of gray hair,
cried, "Ladies, demand your instant

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer, :"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following tterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. I Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. have gained flesh and have

Value of Cheese Food.

Cheese is very rich and valuable
food, likely to form very large con-
stituent in the future and, especially
for the workingman. to be very extern
sively used. There is a difference in
stomachs in their ability to digest this
article
The writer is able to make an entire
meal of cheese, with very little bread,
and digest it more easily than rice or
oatmeal, but in most stomachs it is less
digestible, in some extremely So. Each
person must learn for himsetlf 1t is
convenient form of animal food and,
when good, particularly agreeable.
There is a great difference in the COM
position of cheese both in its water, fat
and nitrogenous matter In general,
however, it may be remarked that
every variety contains large amount
Of nitrogenous matter, and it is for this
that it is especially useful as food.
Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in
this constituent, but less rich in fat.
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find in cheese abundance of nitrogenous
matter to take the place of that found
