BE STRONG

Be strong to bear o heart of lninei
Faint not when sorrow cones.
The sunlmits OF those hills Of earth
Touch the blue skies of home.
So many burdened ones there are,
Close journeying by thy side.
Assist, encourage, comfort them,
Thine own deep sorrow hide.
What though thy trials may seem greatf
Thy strength is known to God,
And pathways steep and rugged lead
To pastures green and broad.
Be strong to love, o heart Of minel
Live not for self alone,
But find in blessing other lives
Comprehension thine own.
Seek every hungering heart to feed,
Each saddencd heart to cheer,
And where stern Justice stands aloof
In pity draw thou near.
Kind, loving words and helping hands
Have won more souls for heaven
Than all the dogmas and the creeds
By priests and sages given.
Be strong 10 hope, o heart of mineI
Look not on life's dark side,
For Just beyond these gloomy hours
Rich, radiant days abide.
Let hope, like summers rainbow bright,
Scatter thy falling tears,
And let Gods precious promises
Dispel thy anxious fears.
For every grief a Lethe comes,
For every toll n rest.
So hope, so love. so patient bear;
God doeth all things best.

Roman Stare Carpentry.

The excavations in the theater of
Dugga, in Tunis, show that the Romans
possessed for their theaters system of
stage carpentry equal if not superior to
the appliances now in use. An ingeni-
Gus contrivance enabled those who stood
underneath the stage to see what was
proceeding above. a number of trap
doors opened in the center of the stage,
and grooves have been discovered show
ing the way in which scenery and stage
furniture were lowered and raised.
Eight large holes led to several dry
wells three yards deep under the stage.
while large receptacle gerved to store
the curtain during the performance.
The floor of the stage was covered with
mosaics.

THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.

Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements for the benefit of other wo- men. Here are two such letters:
 Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 25s Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass, writes:
 "It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefit have received from taking Lydia D. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. Icanhard- ly find words toexpress my gratitude for what she has done for me. My trouble was alteration of the womb. Twas un- der the doctors care. Upon examina- ton he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed to do me good. I took sew, eral bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinlsham's medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women."
 Mrs. AMOS TRoMBLEAY, Ellenburgh Ctr, N. Y.. writes:
 1T took cold at the time my baby legs, and was sick in bed for eight weeks. Doctors did me no good. I surely thought would die. 1 was al so troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells as often as ten times day. One day lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine. and ad- vised me to try it. l did so, and had taken only half bottle before was able to sit in chair. After taking three bottles could do my own work. am now in perfect health"

wHg sroga LAY.


For wears, The Trna Democrat
ha4 never failed 70 say u good w0rd,
in passing, for what is famlLlaF'y
known az the stock law. 1t Is a
!aw whiclI proviles that stock, and
not crops, should hc fenced. Th'
operation Of such II Law, though at
tended, in its incipiency, with some
expense to the average landowner
would result in the Improvement o'
stock, the lessening of expense for
fencing, and relief from certain
calling conditions which now put I"
man's crop at the mercy OF hlS
neighbours catt!e-often his lrre-
Sponsiblc nrighlnr's cattle. For
lack of an audible SECOND to our
call for such law, we have coll,
cludcd, that We were rs one crying
in the wilderness, when the day OF
dcliver;lnce was not at hand.
Very gratifying therefore has ii
been for us to learn that, of late, this
bcneticent law has come up for dis
Cnssion all over the parish, and that
y sentiment iS steadily growing fOl
its trial. The probabilities now are
that the gear 1900 will witness sucl
action by the Police Jury. Signiti
cant of this is the fact that the lncm
lMr from the FIRST ward was elected
Oh this issue alone, though his OF
pOnent was a popular townsman,
who was known to he IN excellent
business man and useful member
for years Of the town council.
We hope the crusade for thi'
law will go on until it becomes al
| accomplished fact.
