YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad-
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
riouS troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
n concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of ~usefulness
and I'LL their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to 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 E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. ]. c. Orms. of 22O
Horner ST., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that L
think your remedies are wonderful. 1
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells

cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies 1 am better
every way Ny head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can cat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department OF
her great business, treating by letter
a. many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

The Cannon Car.

Military journals express interest in
an invention by which it is proposed to
arm a self-moving car, driven by a
16 horsepower engine, with two rapid
fire cannon, mounted On pivots so as to
sweep in ali directions. Having four
broad-tired wheels, it is claimed that
the car can run across 4 level country
(barring fences, of course) at the rate
of As miles an hour. Terrible pictures
are drawn of the havoc that such cars
could make on a battlefield. Only one
man is needed to operate the car and It's
cannon, and he is protected by strong
steel shieids.-Youth's Companion.

THE eovEIANDERs OF, GUIANA.
A strange Product of Dutch and In
dian Races.

There Is in Guiana a class of inhabi-
tants who dwell along the central and
lower reaches of the great rivers, al
though they penetrate TO considerable
distances into the interior, and have.
in fact. made the whole region between
the Essequibo and Orinoco their own.
These are the "~Boveianders." a half
breed race descended from the inter
marriage of the old Dutch settlers with
the aboriginal women. There are also
black B~oveianders, who are descended
from the admixture of Indians with the
runaway negroes who fled to the wilder
ness in the days Of slavery. In color
the Boveianders Of Dutch extraction
are Of a light-brown yellow, somewhat
fairer than mulattos, and having a
strong European cast of countenance
They are well formedand generally good
looking; those Of negro strain are If a
dirty reddish-black, somewhat fiat
featured. and ugly. In habit and man.
ner the white is tidy. clean. pleasant,
and attractive; the black slovenly. foul.
sycophantic and repulsive. Their lam
guage is English. but sc full Of Indian
and Dutch idioms and variations as to
be something of a Nolapuk.
The customs Of the white Boveiander.
like his lar guage. are a combination OF
savagery and civilization. Socially as
well as ethnologically, the European
and Indian meet in his personality.
Prior to the discovery of gold in the
northwest territory. these people were
little known in the colony except to the
government and among the wood-trad-
ers. their chief industry being wood
cutting. As boatmen they are in their
own way TO be classed among the most
expert in the world, combining with
the unerring instinct of the Indian the
superior intelligence and calm iutre-
pidity Of their Dutch ancestry. OF late
years they have been brought more in
touch with the colonists. and already
an interesting change has been
wrought in their life.-Chambers' Jour
nal.

WINTER r r
Three Feathered Friends That stick
Together.

On a winter morning when one has
been vainly listening for some sign OF
life, what n welcome sound is the tap
ping OF n woodpccker. Doubtless il is
a downy excayating his breakfast Of
larvae. and we follow his fap-tapping
just for the satisfaction Of seeing the
black and white fellow at work; or
he may be repairinghi his winter quarters,
for he fashions a home in which 10 ISIS

mark is white.
The hairy woodpecker is as n rule
less commo than the downy in the
eastern states. He may bc known chief
ly by his larger size, the downy measur-
ing ga inches in length while the hairy
is about 2E inches longer.
With the downy we may often find
associated, ia the winter, another climb
ing bird, the white-breaste1 urthaich.
Seen creeping over tree trunks, he has
at first glance the Appearance of a
woodpecker, but closer observation viii
show that he differs in many points,
the most striking of which is that he
climbs downward as wei. as upward
and that he does not use his tail as
a support. The tail-feathers, therefore.
instead of being stiffenei and pointed
ut the end are soft and rounded. The
