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

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
There Is q little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. II young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q physician for examine
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 letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity Of menses. was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who Is q firm believer in your
remedies from experience. thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I 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
ever was. have gained flesh and have
q good color. I am completely cured Of
irregularity."

Then he watched her MS she went

"will this do, and this?" she asked
as simply as child. "Oh. Raoul. I hope
he will not be angry-I hope
he will be pleased! I shall tell you

In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared. and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
"A man might lay down his life for
such woman as that" he said. with

Lord Carayen stood In the billiard
room at Ravensmere; he had becn

carelessly against the open veranda,

ference darkening his face; he never
liked interruption during game.

but went straight to him. smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
to happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in soft,
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.

You could do 1t in some fashion.

The Nineteenth Century.

This Is the nineteenth century. We
live in America, "the land of the free
and the home of the brave" so-called.
We are a christian people, yet, at our
very door-on the American side of the
great Atlantic-scenes that pale those
committed during the dark ages and
the inquisition are being enacted. For
what purpose? That the patriots OF
Cuba may be forever enslaved, gov
erned against their will, outraged and
robbed. Blood flows in their veins
such as warmed hearts of Washington
and his gallant followers. Why
shout dthe United States longer wit
ness this scene? Is there no God? Has
human sympathy given away to grasp
ing greed? Did the love of freedom,
LOYALTY and justice pass away with
the immortal Lincoln?-Oregon City

The Same FAkirs.

The same "fakirs" and mountebanks
who are claiming good wheat prices
for the Dingley bill are exulting over
the fall in silver that is coincident
with the rise in wheat. The political
charlatans are either so dishonest as
not to admit patent truth or so ig-
norant that they should be sent to a
kindergarten school. The fall in sill
yer is the result of the same inexor-
able law that is pushing up the price
of wheat-the law of supply and de-
mand. Wheat goes up because the
worlds supply is short, the demand
remaining the same. Silver goes
down because the famines in India and
Argentina, that usually call for silver,
this year have nothing to give in ex-
change for 1t; the demand is less, while
the supply is constant. Again the de-
mand is cut short by the laws of the
countries that discriminate against
silver and refuse to use where 1t was
formerly used, thus cutting down the
demand, while the supply remains
constant. Give crops to India, Argen-
tina and Russia, and let the law recog-
nize silver at home, as it used to do,
and the claw of supply and demand
will cause the price to bound al once
to s1.2s an ounce. and stay there

Justice and Liberty.


The truth that have tried to make

that could be, it would have been ac-
copied long ago. But 1t will ma

fer for it; If need be, die for 1t. This

length prevail? Ultimately, yes. But
in our own times, or in time OF which
any memory of us remains, who shall
say? For the man who, seeing the
want and misery. the ignorance and
brutishness caused by unjust social
institutions, sets himself, in so far as
he has strength, to right them, there
is disappointment and bitterness. so
it has been of old time. So 1t Is even
now. But the bitterest thought-and
it sometimes comes to the best anu
bravest-is that of the hopelessness
of the effort, the futility of the sacri-
flee. To how few of those who sow
the seed is it. given to see it grow, or
even with certainty to know that 1t
will grow.
Let us not disguise it. Over and
over again has the standard Of Truth
and Justice been raised in this world.
Over and over again has it been
trampled down-oftentimes in blood.
If they are weak forces that are OPP
posed to Truth, how should error 80
long prevail? If Justice has but TO
raise her head to have injustice nee
before her, how should the wall OF
the oppressed so long go up? But for
those who see Truth and would fol-
| low her, for those who recognize JUS
tice and would stand for her, success
is not the only thing.
In our time, as in times before, creep
in the insidious forces that. producing
inequality, destroy Liberty. On the
horizon clouds begin to lower. L!s-
erty calls to us again. We must fol-
low her further; we must trust her
fully. Either we must wholly accept
her or she will not stay.
If we turn to Justice and obey her,
if we trust to liberty and follow her,
the dangers that now threaten must
disappear, the forces that now menace
will turn to agencies of elevation.
Beg no Question: shrink from no
conclusion; but follow truth wherever
it may lead. If the conclusions that
we reach run counter to our prejudices.
let us not finch; If they challenge in
wise and natural, let us not turn
back.-Henry George.
