CHURCH NOT AFFEC CTED.
Papal Delegate Martinelll says

Boston. Mass, Aug. 4.--Most Rev. So

night, making a short stay with the Jesuit
fathers Of ST. Mary's church, Endicott
street. When asked what would be the
effect Of the annexation Of Porto Rico to

II am not politician and do not know
enough about the place to tell whether It
will be benefit to this country to own 1t
or not. As far as the interest Of the
Porto Ricans is concerned there Is no

THAT is question for the Holy See to
answer. My lines of jurisdiction are al
ready drawn and cannot extend them
without positive order from Rome.
What will be done in that regard, If any
thing is done, is question for the fu-
ture and one upon which. l have had no
communication with the pope. Political
changes do mot influence Rome in the
management of the church. We can safe

take place, I suppose, hut expect to see

Mrs. W. e. PAxTos, youngstown.

After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. / had leueorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men

but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
"I 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

Hat Bands and Wells.

We have all heard of Dicks hat band,
but that is not the sort peculiar to the
new summer headgear of Newport swells.
The hat bands they sport are revelations
OF intricate colorings, and, moreover. are
said to have some special significance to
their wearer, language of their own;
perhaps Marian telegraphy, which
groundlings may never read. AS though
to rival this hat band interest. the women
have taken on another, in the fashion of
fastening their wells. The floating ends
are as much an index of an up-to-date
young woman's up-to-dateness as the OBJ
server of femininity requires. Instead
of confining the veil under the brim of
her hat, she now wishes it to assume the
negligence of the early Victorian veil,
and it bobs and floats in the breeze ac-
cording to the step or motion of the wear
er. This, like many other touches"
marks the style of the moment.-Boston

An oid-Fashioned Flower Which ID
Once More Popular.
Tho dainty, nnpretentious moss rose,
which used to be cultivated carefully IN
every old-fashioned garden, and which
was q favorite among Its family years
ago, before American beauties and the
many modern varieties of roses had been
developed by the florists, is ENJOYING

OF moss r0sebuds are to be seen in the
windows Of the principal florist shops
aud more of the flowers are being sold
now than have been on the market for
many years, The blossoms are larger
and finer than they have ever been. This
rose in order to appear at it's best must
not be beyond the stage of the half
opened bud, but occasionally two or three,
of the flowers in bunch will be nearly
full bloom, and the contrast they afford
to the Others only heightens the beauty
of both, Bunches of two dozen moss
rosebuds sell for about Is cents at most

that to the Dutch-for many centuries
enthusiastic flower lovers-belongs the

The Ark the Mother Of Ships.

The ark is the first ship, then, to appeal
to human sympathy. Let her be called
the mother of ships. Though we need not
too curiously consider her, it is strange
fact, nevertheless, that the dimensions Of
this ship taking the cubit about eighteen
inches) correspond very nearly with the
proportions of sailing ship of today.
Her burthen was Is, 600 tons. The Great
Eastern was 7OOO tons larger than the
ark. Noah, when he laid his keel, de-
signed with strict reference to the ami
mails and to the living sheets of water
that We're to descend from the heavens.
He would have need to build with great
caution, nevertheless, for unless the ami
mails We're stalled a sudden panic amongst
them would occasion q dangerous sslist.o
Noah seems to have provided against this
by building his extraordinary stables
upon q gigantic spoOn-shaped hull He
required neither sails nor helm. IS. When
the ark was once awash she lifted easily
/ to the tremendous weight Of rain, and
foated off into the gray vapors Of steam,
which rose kissing midway to heaven

How He Made His Model.

There was once a hardwareman who
was determined to set up an image of a
human being in his store window. He
looked about his stock, and finding all the
needed material, went to work, and his
efforts were crowned with unauestioned
success.
He took the legs of stove, the teeth of
rake, the ears of pail. the elbows of
stovepipe, the tongue of wagon, the
nals from a keg, the fingers of cradle,
kettle, the hands of a cyclometer, the hair
OF a brush, the eyes of needle, the
bottom of a tub, the neck of a bottle, the
arms from his gun department.. the joints
from q two-foot rule, from which he also
stole the feet, the back of a refrigerator,
the heel of a scythe, and the cheek Of his
travelling man. He was a little uncer-
tain AS to the "skin," but after a mo-
ment's thought decided to give that part
to the fellow next door.-Hardware.
