AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-1t is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradrally grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men,
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks. y
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in
paper. I sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that !
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady I meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is a wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn. Mass.

Women No Gastronomcrs.

While it is conceded that women
cultivate and practise daintier table
manners than most men acquire, they
are given up to be the worst possible
astronomers. They early form a
taste for unwholesome dishes, and
have no judgment, or use none, in the
kind of food they consume. Lobster
salad and tea or beer is thought to be
sufficiently hearty luncheon for the
fagged-out stomach, or more often ice
cream and meringue cakes. Then a
glass or two of soda-water through the
afternoon whips up the tired stomach.
Men, it is we.l-known, dread to be
obliged to order meal for woman
unless that rara avis is found woman
who knows how to eat. And yet these
same women will order the most de-
licious dinners for their families and
serve them perfectly. New York
Tribune.
The Banner-Democrat., 1898-06-04
FashiOn NOtes.

Heliotrope in all the shades i'm
aginable, is in evidence among the
new colors.
Black gowns in cloth and various
other new black materials are very
fashionable.
The printed varieties are very beau
tiful, and the pompadour and Indian
designs will be much employed.
Among the latest embroideries are
zouave and bolero fronts, with long
panels reaching almost to the hem of
the skirt
Narrow chinchilla borders trim
some of the simple but elegant cos
TUNES being prepared for Lenten wear
this season.
Worth is making ball gowns with
accordion plated silk and and tulle
skirts and apron overskirts of satin
frilled with lace.
A novel trimming for velvet gown
is Valenciennies lace insertion over
white satin, outlined on either edge
with imitation pearls.
A popular new underwear fabric is
Egyptian cotton, coated on the inside
with soft covering of pure silk. 1t
is as warm as wool, and yet is more
durable, less clumsy and will not
shrink.
Stylish and serviceable costumes of
mohair alpaca and wool canvas appear
in weaves less coarse than those pop
ular last spring, although these heav-
ier weaves are still in great favor with
many women.
Fancy vests are made of tiny ruffles
of satin ribbon, trimmed with small
gold cord, put on in lattice effect.
Sometimes the ribbon ruff1es alternate
with ruffles of fine lace, and the effect
is airy and beautiful.
Accordion and knife plaitings are as
much in vogue as ever, and this fash
ion reaches its climax in the use of
velvet thus sprinkled. The effect is
novel and striking, particularly as the
heat presses down the nap of the vel
vet in many places, giving particular
luster to the textile. 1t is used for
garnitures and millinery solely.
All the new coats and casaques that
one sees now are almost tight-ftting.
Even the blouses are made after the
fashion of corsages. They are less
vague, are generally made in plaits,
either lengthwise or horizontal, min
gled with insertion or lace or en-
broidery, and the sleeves are quite
fat, except for little bouffant on the
shoulders or epaulettes.
Russian jewelry is becoming as
much the craze here as it has been
and is in Paris. 1t is quite the ego"
for chatelaines, belts, collars, clasps,
bIckles and the many ornaments worn
by smart women of the day. India
g3ld work is also much to the fore for
sersonal adornment, and beautiful as
: is in its elaborsteness, it is still
mere so when exquisitely ieweled.

Duchess's Glass-Eyed Pet.

Marmaduke is dead. He was only
Blenheim spaniel, but he was
wonderful in his way, for he had a
glass eye. He was bred bythe Duchess
Of Marlborough, who takes great in.
terest in the famous kennel. As will
occasionally happen to small dogs, he
tried to show his superiority over the
feline race; but on one occasion a pug
nacious cat declined to take orders
from Marmaduke, and enforced its re-
fusal by giving Marmaduke Zone in
the eye' with its claws. The result
was that Marmaduke's eye was de-
stroyed. The Duchess then sent the
spaniel to veterinary surgeon, to be
fitted to a glass eye, and she was
especially fond of the little fellow, and
the sight of the empty socket was re-
pugnant. After he was sent back with
his new eye, her Grace said it made
her uncomfortable, and so a home
was sought for the unfortunate little
blue-blood, which was found with
Miss E. l.. Moore, of Denmark Hill,
near Woodstock. Marmaduke never
tried to scratch or rub out the eye,
but seemed to understand why it was
there. His earthly career was ended
under the wheels of a van.-London

Cooking as a Business.

Something like dozen years ago 6
New England woman came to New
York City to find some opening for q
good business. She talked of all sorts
of things, from millinery to house.
cleaning, but for long time could fix
upon nothing. She was very strongly
urged to open coffee and cake room
upon one of the populous thorough
fares in the business centre of the
city. At that time there was nothing
Of the sort in that locality.
For some reason the idea did not
seem to strike her, because, as she
said, she feared that it would not be a
proper location for such thing. There
would be no patronage.
She finally went into some CONNER
cial speculation, lost part of her
money, and went back East, not at all
pleased with her venture.
About the time, she left the city q
restaurant was opened III almost pre-
cisely the locality that had been rec
commended to her. Por a few days
the cooking was very good and relish
able. ( OF course. everything was new
and clean and attractive, and a great
future was prophesied for the enter
prise. But the quality of the food
was lowered, the place grew dingy and
disordered; nothing was kept up in
proper shape; yet the proprietors
made large amount of money before
finally going out of business. If this
New England woman, who was a most
admirable cook. and understood how
to put things together in most ap-
petizing fashion, had started the place
she would, no doubt, have reaped a
fortune. There is nothing for which
people are more willing to pay than
for good things to eat, and to be an
expert in the preparation of almost
any sort of food is to have at command
a means of obtaining good livelihood.

thirty-five years.
Miss Frances Goodwin, of Newcas-
tie, Ind, has completed bust of

niche prepared for it in the United
States Senate chamber.
Miss Frances Lewis Lawrence, who

sition Of: director and supervisor of

among the Parsees.
Miss Mabel Hay Barrows, whose
Greek play at Brown University was
so successful, will soon conduct q
Latin play, "'The Flight of Eneas, y
for the benefit of the Hotchkiss School
at Lakeville, Conn.
The Princess of Wales designs her
own gowns and sends water color
drawing executed by herself to her
dressmaker, who rarely sees the royal
lady, the gowns all being fitted on a
wax model of her figure.
Queen Christine of Spain has signi-
fed her disapproval of the stage by re-
fusing to officiate at the christening of
the child of Sonora Guerrero, who is
commonly called the Bernhardt of
Spain. The actress is the wife of Don
Fernando Mendoza, one of the grandees
of Spain, which makes the slight all
the more pronounced.
Several women have been appoint
ed by State Governors to responsible
positions-Miss Mamie Montgomery
to be State Librarian of South Caro-
lima; Mrs. John A. McAllister to be
trustee of the Agricultural College of
Utah; Miss Helen M. Staples, State
Superintendent of the Industrial

Frederick I'LL, Princess Frederick
Charles of Prussia, the Queen Regent
Sophia and the Queen Wilhelmina of
the Netherlands, the Duchess of Con-
naught, the Duchess of Edinburgh,
sister of the Empress of Russia, and
| Queen Victoria.
One of the most interesting features
of the big cloth-mill strike has been
the bringing forward to the notice of
the public of two women leaders.
Both are weavers, and both are MEM
bers of the Weavers' Protective Asso-
citation, as the New Bedford Weavers'
