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

What suffering frequently results
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 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 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, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 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, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
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. am completely cured of
irregularity."

TO. As an instance of this, 1 was with an
other friend one day when we saw him
coming and decided to give him as big a
yarn as possible. each of US to bear out
all the others stories. For one thing,
told him about an experience in a canoe,
when. with rubber brought up from the
sides tight around my throat and fast
ened securely around my wrists. I had ca
noed over dangerous falls, under water
half the time, but always padding, and
hnaily coming to the surface not bit the
worse for it. The son of Ananias listened
without word. But he didn't miss de-
tail, and the only thing he forgot was
where he heard 1t, and the next time I
saw him he related it to me almost word
for word-better than 1 could have re-
peated it myself-as an experience of his
own.
Yes" said the woman, IT think women
are apt to merely cast roseate color over
things, though I have heard some elabo-
rate romances about lovers in which 1 was
certain there was much fiction. But the
daughters of Sapphira I have meet seem
to have habit of believing the things
they wish to believe; they tell them as
they would like them to be, not as they
are, and with perfect sincerity, as l be
heve most nars-pardon the word-do. L
remember a relative we had visiting us
at one time, a sweet woman, but with alb
solutely no regard for the truth. We had
an invalid in the family to whom her pres
ence was great annoyance, and we were
anxious, when the time came for her visit
TO end, to have her go. But she was en-
1oying herself and did not care to. So
following me up stairs one day, she ask
ed me confidentialy what I thought she
had better do. Anxious as I was for her
to go, 1 could only say that she must do
as she thought best. But imagine my
amaZement at hearing her remark before
the entire family, myself included, that day
and with an air of great satisfaction that
Alice-myself-though she had better pro-
long her visit, and so she would. Did you
ever happen to remark in any company
of the prevalence of this class of people
that every one in the room did not know
at least one intimately

Every mother of a pretty girl. says the
Atchson Globe, is a board of strategy.
A woman never becomes so rich that she
can resist the temptation to wear calico
shirt waists
When the women pray Lead US not IN
to temptation" they mean dry goods
stores.
A woman never knows what II Is to love
until she has a daughter over IS years old
When a widow begins to leave off mourn
ing, the person whose opinion she fears
worst is her mother-in-iaw.
An Atchison man claims that his wife
belongs to the Red Cross Society because
she often get red with anger and is then
cross for weeks.
With the coming of the shirt waists the
uneasy look on a girls face as if some
thing might be coming off, has made its
temperance.
Along about 9 O'Clock every night the
girls look up at the clock, remark that 1t
is probably too late for any one to come,
and take Off their stiff shirt waist collars.
The rudeness OF young society men, says
the New YORK. Times, and their indepeud-
ence of their hostess and her guests, is
spoken of too often not to have some foun-
daton of truth. At social functions a
woman is absolutely helpless without a
man. She cannot dance unless she is
