BEARDED
WOMEN.

Designing men, through alluring and cum
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them ''towrite
to s0ondH ~ and secure a z0onzdz's SYM
pathy." 1t is well to remember that the
best sympathy is to be had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get well,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more so, than SYM
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman
1t is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
wornans ailments and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman -
and get the benefit of a woman's advice.
The sort of understanding of her ailments
wanted by a sick woman is trained medi-
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman s ailments moi as a zOondn, but as a
1bhrsiefan. If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed tor women-no one. therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there is no one, man or
woman, connected with any put up -
medicine for women, excepting only Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who, like
DR.. Pierce. is regular graduated and quail
fed physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases of women
For more than thirty years DR.. R V.
Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, has
been chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. of
Buffalo. N. Y On his staff are nearly a
score of regularly graduated, experienced,
skilled physicians, each of whom is spec
ialist in his chosen class of diseases. Ev-
cry letter addressed to Dr. Pierce as above,
has prompt, conscientious attention, is re-
garded as sacredly confidential and is an
swered in plain envelope so your private
affairs are kept safe from prying eyes.

When you see an animal trainer per-
forming with ferocious beasts you
may be quite right If you imagine the
man as fearless master of them,
but IL you think for an instant that
there is no danger, you are wholly
wrong. A trainer never confronts the
beasts and compels them to do his
bidding but he literally takes his life
in his hands.
He Is so used to the danger that he
does not think OF it each time, and he
holds his mastery of them by a sort of
power that becomes habit-second ma
ture, as 1t just as he eats his
meals or performs other common en-
Payments.
OF all animals, keepers say, the tiger
is the worst and most treacherous. 1t
Is necessary to keep the eye fixed
pretty constantly upon it, or it may re-
volt at any moment. There is only
one secret, IL such it can be called, of
handling wild beasts, and that Is to
be brave and make them fear you. If
they have the slightest cause to think
you timid they will take advantage of
it instantly. and they are shrewd and
knowing In their way and constantly
watching for some moment Of tenn
porary forgetfulness or timidity.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat

The London of Pepys,

1t is disappearing fast; it has almost
vanished, the London Of Pepys; but a
few traces of it are still left and
should be visited by lovers of the past
and readers of the famous Diary
before they are entirely swept away.
Regret can never cease that a threat
ening of blindness should have forced
Pepys to close his manuscript 81 years
before his death and that thus it
should only depict II years of his life
for US. Yet as Mr.. Lowell said, 1.-The
lightest part of the diary is of value,
historically, for it enables one to see
the London of 200 years ago. and, what
is more, to see it with the eager eyes
of Pepys;" while there will be few Of
its readers who will deny that there
is probably more involuntary humor in
Pepys' Diary than in any book ex-
tant."-Pall Mall Magazine.

A swallow is considered one Of the
swiftest of flying birds, and it was
thought until a short time ago that no
insect could escape it.
A naturalist tells of an exciting
chase he saw between a swallow and
dragon fly, which is among the swift
est of insects.
The insect flew with Incredible speed
and wheeled and lodged with such
ease that the swallow, despite it's ut
most efforts, completely failed to over
take and capture it.
