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 a little truth and n great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q 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 letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, C~entralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. / vas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my 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. 1 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
wei was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. 1 am completely cured Of

The 81" car hos is he who tries to
occupy, to the exclusion of anyone else,
one of the cross seats in the enter Of
the car. He utterly ignores the fact
that these seats are built for two" and
is a crusty, crowding neighbor to any
one who has the audacity to sit beside
him. Regular patrons of the 81" roads
know this hog-thougs his name is nj.
most legion-and usually give him b
wide berth.
Last Wednesday, just rs an uptown
train was leaving Twelfth street q
young man entered one OF the cars. He
sauntered through and found that the
only vacant place was beside one OF
these typical hogs in n cross seat The
young man paused and looked at the
other man, but the hog sat squarely in
the center of the seat and looked uncon.
cernedly out of the window. SO the
young man, rather than take the crowd.

platform.
When the train stopped at Eighteenth
street the only passenger to get aboard
was n rather rusty-looking man who
certainly weighed over 800 pounds.
The young man was quick witted
enough to see his chance.
"Do you want to earn a half dollar?'
he demanded.
"Sure."
"See that man in the cross seattle

well, take this half-dollar and then

other passengers were quick to note

this and fumed some more. The only

Mathematical Animals.

was employed by a street railway COM
I'm hauling cars up a steep incline. This
animal was hitched in front of the regu-
lar team, and unhitched as soon as the

an hour at noon. AS soon as the mule
completed it's fiftieth trip ii marched away

Tells, the following remarkable action on
the part of this animal is vouched for by
the superintendent of the line, who gave
me these data: On a certain occasion, dur
ing a musical festival, his mule was
transferred to the night shift, and the very
instant ii completed it's fiftieth trip It
started for the stables. 1t took the COM
bined efforts Of several men to make it re-
turn to its duty. At night there were no
bells or whistles to inform the creature
that quitting time" had come; it had
counted the trips, and, having finished it's
full quota of fifty, 1t thought hat the time
for rest and food had arrived.
