THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early WomanhoOd.

What suffering frequently results from mother s ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughter
 Tradition says "woman must suffer" !" and young women are so taught. There is little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If 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 examine tion; 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 letter from 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. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as l e, CT was. 1 have gained flesh and have T good color am completely cured of Irregularity.s

William Mckinley, a Republican
politician, man of no marked force,
an average Ohio Governor, was made
President Of the republic through the
mistakes Of his opponents. In more
than two years Of incumbency he has
given steady and unrelieved exhibi-
ton OF vaccilation, weakness, petty
policies, subserviency to bosses, def
erence to subordinates and an inex-
cusable desire to harbor, defend and

NOT A FAIR TEST.
For the Victim of Rabies Died from
the Treatment on the
Fifth Day.

They were talking about hydropho-
bia and rabies. One Of the party was
well-known Philadelphia physician.
says the Chicago Evening News. He lis
tened quietly to the quasi the.
ores OF the others. and when they had
quite finished, one of them said:
What have you got to say about it,
doctor?'
WELL" he said, thoughtfully, 81
would not exactly like to say what my
opinion is. l might be unsupported;
but will tell you. if you like, how the
disease was treated 100 or 200 years ago.
AT that time hydrophobia. in common
with every other obscure disease, was
thought to be the work of q devil, and
all sorts of queer tricks were resorted
to to drive him out. There is on record
case which occurred at Colchester, in
England. 1t was a woman who had
been bitten by rabid dog. The cur
was killed, of course. and the treat
ment OF the woman was in keeping with
the period. She was placed in bath
OF tepid water up to her neck
and ducked seven times, each time be-
ing kept under so long as she could hold
her breath. This was to be repeated
every seven hours for seven days, she
being fed on milk only during the treat
ment. Unfortunately, she died on the
fifth day, but the doctor gravely re-
marked that it was a pity, for if she
bad held out two days longer she would
have been cured. And that is probably
true"

A thrilling incident occurred recent
ly at the B. & o. s. w. railroad bridge
over Hogan creek, Lawrenceburg, Ind.
Two men, reports the Cincinnati En-
quirer, named Hatch and Powell were
walking across the bridge when train
No. A, known as the Newspaper Train"
from st. Louis, came rolling down upon
them. 1t was too great distance from
end to end of the bridge for the men
to escape in that way, and to leap from
it meant fall of 60 feet and almost GER
tain death. TO lie down on each side of
the track was almost sure death, as
there was not room enough. In terror
the two men laid down by the side of
the rails. Frank Evans, the engineer,
saw the men and reversed his engine
with such promptness and applied the
brakes with such energy that the fly
ing train was brought to sudden
standstill. 1t was none too soon, for
when the engine stopped the two men
lay pinioned, bruised and bleeding, be-
meath the ponderous engine that held
them fast in the very jaws of an i'm
pending death. Evans called out to the
helpless men: Keep quiet, will save
you," then slowly backed the train off
the imprisoned men and Off the bridge,
so that they could crawl out of the reach
OF further danger. Their clothes were
in rags, but their limbs we're unbroken.

FISH IN TIE sNowBANKs
A Nest Unique nat weloe..e sort Of
. SnowsliAO Among Nor
weHian Mountains.

A snow avalanche with very unusual
results is reported from Norway. 1t
gave the people of Christiania some
thing TO talk about for a week. The
unique phenomenon occurred among
the low mountains back of the capital
on March l3. There had been an ex-
traordinary fall of snow, and then came
a big thaw, which melted a great deal
Of the ice in the little Lilledal river. A
very large number of fish had their
home in this stream, and what hap
pened to them is the unusual feature of
this avalanche, says the New York Sun.
In the night large mass of snow on
the hills on one side Of the stream
slipped from the slopes and glided with
great velocity down into the river. The
face Of the avalanche was about a mile
in length, and for that distance it slid
into the river, not sharing the river bed
with the water, but violently ejecting
the stream and the fish living in it.
The force of that conclusion must
have been very great, for the water and
hsh were hurled hundreds of feet. Next
morning the people were very much
surprised to find, high on the slopes of
the hills bordering the other side of the
valley, a great number of fish scattered
over the snow. For some days there
was a most unusual sort of fishing in
progress. Men, women and children
were laundering about in the snow
gathering the fish in baskets, and the
people living along the valley had all
the fish they could eat without batting
a hook. .....
