the author of Degeneration. France is
marching towards n new st, Bartholomew's
Eve, in which the Jews viii take the place
of the Protestants. He believes Tint the
slightest relaxation in the present display Of
force ON the part of the French Government
would lead to a general massacre Of The Jews
throughout the country. Cautiously enough,
the lea Ter of this anti-Semitic movement in
Paris, NJ. Drumont. takes the same view. In
his own paper, the LiJre IorOIe, h. makes
tile alarming statement That there IL 10 way

wonderful. have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that am entirely cured"
Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. SOC Findley St.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
For a long time suffered with
chronic Inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
80 weak l was hardly able to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians, and getting n relief, 1 had
given up all hope of being well
again when l read of the great good
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. 1 decided immedi-
ately to give it trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages Of Sanative Wash
l can say l feel like new woman. 1
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which am CRATE
full. May heaven bless her for the
good work she is doing for our sex"

ACCORDING to trustworthy information all
conjectures in the press and political circles
in Spain, which are being built on the sup
posed intention Of Germany to abandon her
neutrality in the PHILIPPINES question are en-
tirely baseless. In Spanish official quarters
the arrival OF German man-of-war at Ma
Mia is regarded as perfectly natural, for the
great German interest there demand pro-

THE Rome correspondent OF the London
Standard says that owing to the serious
news from the Philippines Pope Leo has
wired the queen regent OF Spain, placing
his services at her disp osal if she consid-
cred that the time had arrived for the in
PREVENTION OF the powers in favor Of Spain.
The queen regent in reply telegraphed her
thanks, saying that at an opportune mo-
ment she would feel the Pope's offer to be
very precious
THE report OF an unexpected attack by a
thousand natives on Russian post, garri
soned by 300 infantry at Audijin, Turkes-
tan, is confirmed. The uprising. in which
twenty soldiers were killed and as many
more were wounded, was of purely reli-
gious origin, and due to the intrigues of the
Mussulman priesthood, who, excited by
Turkeys victory over Greece, promoted the
outbreak with the most serious reverse to
the Russian arms sustained in Central Asia
in many years. The leader of the band,
high Mussulman priest, has confessed to
secret understanding with high circles at
Constantinople, and admits that the upris-
ing was intended to be general in the prov
ince OF Ferghana.

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrotula Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side Of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ] also took Hoods
Sarsaparila, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were we'll and have
never returned. He is now four years.old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

My little wife is out beyond the burn
see her parasol behind the fir,
And here am inditng verse to her
Ere she return.
That pretty bird is happy there conceard,
This fragrant chamber smiles peaceful smile
What joy to sing the Joys of home-the while
My Joys aheld.
My spouse Is mild-she's meek as any nun,
And yet her spiritual calm is such =
Somehow ones always feeling she is much
Too good for one.
She thinks I'm wise and handsome-'tis her creed,
wonder am either On my word
Sometimes I've wondered ian my bonnie bird"
Think so, indeed:
Perhaps for she my homage neer repels;
Perhaps might have loved her half life
Perhaps-had she but been the little wife
OF some else
But why should complain of cross or cares?
While entertaining her (who won't complain)
1t may be an angel entertain
And unawares.

DISEASES
CHILDREN.

Hundreds of children die during the
first twelve months from lack of proper
care, food and hygienic surroundings.
Inc healthiest and strongest babies, as
a rule, are those that are brought up
on the mothers breast. All other forms
of milk or food preparations, although
there are many good ones, cannot take
the place of natures food.
A very great majority of infants
lives are placed in jeopardy through the
carelessness of the nurse or mother,
and through giving the child such med
icines as will cause it to sleep. Nearly
all these so-called soothing syrups con-
tain a certain amount of opium. which
acts upon the nervous system of the
child and renders it more irritable, and
lays the foundation for delicate con-
stitution.
Babies need but little medicine; but
what they do need is to be kept clean
and dry and given proper rest, fresh
air and mothers milk, if possible.
DR. FROST'S REMEDIES are es-
sentially the medicines safest for chill
dren. In cases of Chatting, Sore Mouth,
Sore Throat, Wakefulness, Diarrhei,
Cholera Infantum, Fever, Group,
Whooping Cough,iT ee hing, Collie,

to use Dr. Frost's Remedies. A sep
arate specific is the only true cure.

In United States district court at Denver
last week Judge Palmer issued an injunc.
ton against the striking coal miners, re-
straining them from interfering with men
employed by the Northern Coal Company,
or in any way lettering the operation Of
the mines. The strikers, who number 100
have refused to do work enough to protect
the machinery at the mines and the mine
owners, in their petition for an Injunction,
allege that the strikers have engaged in an
unlawful conspiracy and threatened to dam
age the property of the petitioners. The
injunction is the first of the kind ever is
sued in Colorado.
A CLOUD burst at Chelsea Park, a suburb
OF Kansas City, Kan, last Wednesday
night caused the death Of at least five per-
sons, and possibly more. An artificial lake
had been created in the park by dam

ried away this dam and the torrent poured
out over the lowlands along the creek.
Half dozen houses standing near Jersey
Creek were carried away. Mrs. Greenlee
was drowned, being swept away with her
house. Robert Koknote, his wife and two
children are missing and are believed to
have persisted. Three other persons are re-

SELECTED POETRY,
The Brave at Home.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain Ensembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash,
One starry tear.drop hangs and trembles,
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed a drop ne dear
AS e'er believed the field Of gloryl
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep al d wonder.
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle.
Hath shed as sacred blood az e'er
Was poured upon the field of battlel
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief.
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on freedoms field of honorl
