THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should BIO 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 mustsuffer,"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and 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 physician for examina-
ton: but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself 10 Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
p. Johnson. Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect win do, and tells how Mrs
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had TO leave school. was tired all the
time. and had dreadful pains in my
side and back / was also troubled
with irregularity OF mcnses. ] was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
nv friends became alarmed. My
mother. who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
YOU for advice. followed the advice
YOU gave, and used Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
YOU directed, and am now as well as l
ever was. have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured OF
irregularity."

The Troops Walked In as If They Were

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Hong Kong
correspondent OF the Daily Mail says.
The terms Of capitulation Of Manila as
agreed upon Saturday between General
Jaudenes and General Merritt include the
cession OF the Philippine archipelago to
the United states.
An American naval officer who arrived
from Manila on the Zairo tells me that
the Americans practically walked INTO
Manila. The operations, he says were
confined 10 the Malste side Of the CITY,
where the Spaniards had a fort and two
lines OF trenches. The troops waded
through the Malate river and walked I'd
the beach as though going 10 luncn'
meeting practically no opposition.
IT learn that when General Mer,''
went ashore after the capitulation ot Ma
Mia he experienced some difficulty IN
finding General Jaudenes. who ultimately
was found in a church, among crowds
of women and children.

HE TOOK A LONG SMOKE.
On a Wager an Englishman Once Con.
sumed E~iGhty-six Cigars in
About Nine Hours.

A gentleman well known in turf circles
made a curious wager in the year 1860. in
which he backed himself to smoke one
pound weight of stronge foreign regalias
within twelve hours. The conditions were
that the cigars should be smoked one at a
time to within one nch Of the end, the
hacker of time, as in the case OF some
pigeon matches, finding the weeds
The match was decided on a Thames
steamer plying between London and Chel-
sea, the smoker taking up a position we'll
forward in the bows, where he caught the
force of all the breeze that was blowing
The cigars ran a hundred to the pound, SO
that about eight an hour had to be con-
sumed to win the wager. A start was made
at 10 o'clock in the morning and the affair
was finished after z in the evening.
In the course of nine hours and twenty
minutes e%ighty-six cigars were fairly
smoked, the greatest number consumed
being in the second hour, when the smoker
disposed Of no fewer than sixteen. At the
eighty-sixth cigar, when fourteen only re-
NAMED to be smoked. the hacker of time
gave in, finding that the smoker was bound
to win, and the latter puffed the remainder
away at his leisure in the course of the
same evening.
The winner subsequently declared that he
had not experienced the slightest difficulty
or unpleasantness during the whole time he
was blowing off the weeds. The only re-
freshment taken during the progress of the
match was a chop at 2 o'clock, the eating
of which occupied twenty minutes, and a
gill and a half of brandy in cold water at
intervals Throughout the day.

The POWER OF AN EVIL EYE.
INHABITANTS OF NAPLES STRONGLY
IMBUED WITH THE BELIEF.
learned Men Say That Disposition 10
Betrayed by the Eyes-Scientists

teresting Cases.

A belief has existed since the very ear
Hest ages in the power of what Is usually
known as the 'evil eye" Persons who
are said to have the evil eye are sup
posed to possess the power Of whitening
with a glance everything on which they
look. unless certain precautions have been
taken to avert the power of their gaze.
The evil eye is mentioned several times
in the Bible. as in Mark wiz. Virgil
a that a man with an evil eye has
the power Of making cattle wither away
by merely looking at them. The belief
exists at the present day throughout tho
Orient. Moorish houses. for instance. ave

strongly imbued with superstition. the pow
er Of the evil eye is firmly believed In. The
majority of the natives wear round their
neckS small pieces of forked coral in order
to avert evil influences.
The question of the evil eye Is one that
has been a puzzle to scientists and physi-
clans Of all ages. Many learned men be-
ton may be observed in the form OF his
eye that Is to say, that a criminal may be
marked out as such by the form. color and
movements Of his eyes.
There is q case on record In which no
fewer than fifteen people, having been pres
ent at the trial of a man who was sup
posed to be afflicted with an evil eye, died
of course. do not prove hat the evil eye
was responsible for the deaths; nor Is the
matter, although Of no little interest. of
any great Importance.

the government are on file in the treasury
department, and the National museum has
one of the largest collections of Washing
tonia in existence. Alexandria is full of un-
published traditions of George Washington.
/ spent a couple Of days there some time
ago. and though I found no one living who
had ever seen Washington, I got a fairly
good idea of him from the stories concern
ing him which have been handed down
from father to son. Mount Vernon is only
nine miles from Alexandria, Washington
got the most of his supplies at Alexandria.
He came there to vote, and until a few
years ago the little Office in which he did
business there still stood. 1t was at Alex
andria that Washington met General Brad
dock. and with him started out on tina
disastrous campaign. His last review of
troops was made from the steps of an Alex
andria hotel about a year before his death,
and when 1 last visited the town 1 was
offered a mahogany bed which had stood in
this hotel, and on which. it was said.
Washington had slept many a time.
How Gen.W Washington Really Looked
From the traditions of Alexandria, and
from many other sources. I have tried q
make up in my minds eye a picture of
George Washington as he really was. He
was exceedingly tall, and, when young,
quite slender. He had enormous hands and
feet. His boots were No. 10 and his or
binary walking shoes No. L.. No one car
look at the silk stockings which hang iuE
in Mount Vernon and not realize that II
took a big leg to fill them. He was a mar
of muscle. During his service in the army
he weighed 800 pounds, and was so strong
that he could lift his tent with one hand
although it usually required the strength
of two men to place it on the camp wagon
i mean, Of course, when it was folded ur
and wrapped around the poles. Washing.
ton could hold a musket with one han6
and fire 1t. He was a good shot and a
good swordSman. The pictures of the
father of our country make you think thai
Washington was a brunette. His face Is
dark and somber. The truth is he had q
kin like an Irish baby, and his hair wa
a full one.
His voice was not strong, and during his
last days he had a hacking cough His eyes
