Three Women Relieved of Female
Troubles by Mrs. Pinkham.

From Mrs. A. w. SMITH, SO Summer
St., Biddeford, Me-:
"For several years suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex.
Was troubled with burning sensation
across the small of my back, that all
gone feeling, was respondent, fretful
and discouraged; the least exertion
received little benefit. At last l de-
cided to give your Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound trial. The eff
feet of the first bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of weakness that l
was afflicted with, vanished like vapor
before the sun. cannot speak too
highly of your valuable remedy. 1t il
truly a boon to woman"
From Mrs. MELISSA PHILLIPS, Lex.

Before | began taking your medicine
had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling, headache, backache, noap-
petite. and a rundown condition of the
system. l could not walk across the
room. have taken four bottles of the
Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver
Pills and used one package of Sanative
Wash, and now feel like a new woman,
and am able to do my work"
From Mrs. MoLLIE Z. HERREL, Pow

S'elena, MY Typewriter.
BY ANNA JORDON.

To the public, my friends, and my
typewriter / owe this story:
When first took possession Of the snug
suite Of offices in tall building near News
paper Square, where as business-like
newspaper woman, 1 find it to my adj
vantage to be, I put an advertisement in
the paper calling for typewriter.
In reply there came scores OF answers,
and for days 1 really regretted having
been SO ;ndiscreet as to make my wants
known to the public in this way. Many
of the applicants were men, but belong to
the class Of professional women who boast
that their business is run by women.
The young women who presented them
selves all had their faults and pecularities,
and none seemed to suit exactly until one
day the door opened and in walked a
slender, red-cheeked girl whose manner
said she had come to stay.
l agreed with her, and We soon came
to the modest terms she required. And
that same day we settled down to work.
"As a newspaper worker" I said to
her, II shall want you to attend to my
correspondence, read the papers. remember
my appointments, and-that is all. You get
the idea?'
Selena-that was her name-seemed to
grasp the idea at once. And in week
l had the supreme joy of seeing a clock
work movement animating my Office ma
chnery
Selena always preceded me to the Of
flee, and when l got down l would find
the voluminous mail which daily awaits
a newspaper worker carefully assorted and
placed ready for persual.
In the center Of my desk, where l would
see them first, were complimentary let
ters from the editors for whom I write,
with orders for work from my pen. And
these would be backed by checks that ar
rived in the early morning mail.
To the right of the checks, and held down
by tall vase in which there is always
ro<e-the only concession l make 10 the
fact that l am still woman-would re-
pose, as if smiling II welcome to me, the
pleasant letters which writer's receive
from readers; and to the left Of these AMI
substantially fianking them, would be
placed the list of duties for the day. Hid
den away yet where 1 knew how to find
them, would be the rejected manuscripts,
tied with gray cotton string and kept
out of sight until a morbid moment should
turn my mind to them.
Threatening letters, letters from Cranks
and notes breathing vengeance for news
paper affronts were promptly thrown away
by Selena.

OF my faithful selena, who cherished it as
a constant menace to my well-being.
Gradually l discovered that my little
typewritist had developed great respect
Tor me-a respect amounting almost to an
uncomfortable reverence. And this ex-
tended not only to the working Of my
mind but to the welfare of my person as
well.
This DEVELOPED itself in various ways.
On showery days when l would absent
mindedly come to the Office without my
umbrella l would always, in case of rain,
find one in the corner And when 1t has
poured this fall l have more than once
found nice storm coat hanging up for
me in the same convenient place. while
Selena from her tranquil tapping would
glance up long enough to explain:
Yes. 1t Is mine. But please wear 1t.
wore it down here because 1t showered.
But have in my closet, where l hang my
hat, much nicer one to be worn If 1t
rains when L 60 home.''
Business women are as Obtuse as men,
one day looking from my windown down
into the street. 1 saw Selena step from
our doorway, hold out her little hand for
the first drops, then start bravely forth,
although she must have known that her
smart spring hat would suffer from the
boldly up the street. umbrellaless, in the
face OF swift, driving rain, while I had
the coat and umbrella.
And another case I recall now Of Selena's
deVotedness to me. 1t was one noontime.
when our building elevator was temperate
~ out OF order and l, with a dislike to
stair climbing, had resolved to go lunch
less rather than venture out. But on my
desk at noon l found a neat little package
OF luncheon, accompanied by type-writ-
ten note from Selena. saying that she had
gone out to her lunch, and begging my
acceptance of the inclosed.
Little by little selena did reporting for
me, and how cleverly she did it! In de-
mure dress she would visit the Working
Girls Club and take notes, without catch
ing the Representatives, and over
wrought nervous condition which seem to
be dealt out with the biscuit and tea at
these meetings.
And in snug tailor made gown achieved
by HERSELF and with a chic boa around
her slender neck, she would stroll up the
avenue and come back with an accurate
description of the costumes; while on the
late and uncertain days when society was
having Its last pre-European farewell series

try at an early day, unless economic
changes Of the most radical character
are not speedily inaugurated. He says:
Il overheard a conversation between
two old comrades ON the rear platform
of street car the other day. They
were evidently members Of the Ancient
Order of Independents, and their con-
versation was about as follows:
From whence came you?"
From the lodging place in the county
of holy st. Custer"
Then you are Populist, suppose 90
I'm Pop, you bet.'
How do you know yourself to be a

Where were you first prepared to be
made Populst?"
In the Republican party"

Who comes here?"
Your answer?'
"A poor, drouth- stricken farmer who
desires more time on his obligations"
What was then demanded Of you?"
Cash
Had you the cash?''
Il had it not, but the other fellow
had my notes and was ready to fore
close"
What were you then told?"
TO wait until the Worshipful Mort

my request and his answer returned"
What was his answer when re-
turned?"

and be received in due and ancient

They ordered me to return to the
party from whence 1 came, vote the
ticket which l had formerly voted, and

Truly Selena understood the art of pac-
ing in harmony the mind whose gray ma
terial must create a living for both
But one day there a letter which
Selena did not throw away. 1t was too
threatening for that. And when 1 had
read my other letters she brought it out
with trembling hands and pallid face.
The letter was from Il wealthy but &C.
centric clubman, the son of one of the
most aristocratic houses in New York:
but about whose peculiarities amounting
apparently to insanity, l had written a
scathing article a few days before, in obed-
fence to an editorial order
The letter said that the writer would

count for the article, and that L should

were several pages Of very fiery and
threatening language. and the letter
wound up with the full name and address
OF the writer and the distinct assurance
that he would call upon me that afternoon
without fail.
All that day we were apprehensive!
Selena was particularly so! And when
she insisted upon placing my little mirror
upon her desk. SO that 1t should reflect
the door and those who opened 1t, al
lowed her to do SO. since I saw that it
comforted her little; and each time the
door opened l saw her hand fly quickly
toward the police alarm, which, with other
calls, decorates the side Of my Office near
Selena's desk.

London,s Center Of Inherent.

LONDON. April 29.-The departure of the
Spanish feet from the Cape Verdes is re-
garded as the first really important news Of
the war. No further information has been
received here as to its destination, but it is
considered not unlikely that it will go to
the Canary islands to await reinforcement
from Cadiz without which it is considered a
hopeless task to attempt to attack Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. 1t is also sup
posed that it may attempt to intercept the
American cruiser Oregon. The idea that it
will attempt to lombard the United States
coast cities is not seriously regarded here
No further actual news has reached Lon
don, where the immediate fact of interest
is the expected naval battle in the Philip
pines.
The story that only mule was killed ct
Matanzas during the bombardment of the
forts there furnishes text for many hui
morous remarks in the papers this morning
The Russian official dispatches during the
war of the Crimea are recalled when 1t was
always admitted that on Cossack had been
killed. SPANS dispatches for home con-
sumption are naturally expected to be of
the same character

tween Cuba and Crete, saying: while
england interfered in Crete on moral
grounds, the United States has both moral
and material Justification for intervention.
l believe the quality of the American army
and navy is so much superior TO SPANS
that the Americans will have no difficulty
in defeating SPANS ships and land forces,
which are their equals or superiors on pa

The weeklies, except the Saturday Re-
view, continue to favor the United States
and have faith in her success. The Staust
thinks that if the continental powers threat
en- to intervene Great Britain ought to veto
their action, and urges the government to
make this clearly understood.
The Spectator expresses confidence that
Commodore Dewey will be victorious at the
Philippines, and says: I'VE see great diff
culties before the Americans, though not
from Spanish ships"
The Saturday Review pursues its attacks
upon America, and the following extract
VIII Indicate the tone of it's comments
american action unfortunately suggests
the attitude of huge and boastful bully

roue. with whom one cannot help sympa-
thIZing, especially when the bully, not con-
tent with thrashing his feeble old opponent

out with tears and protestations, that he
