NERVOUS DEPRESSION.

IA TALK WITH MRS. PlNKHAM.1
A woman with the blues is a very I'M.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
II is . source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.

A LAKE PILOTS LEG.
How 1t Solved the Mystery OF the
Wreck of the steam Propeller
Susan E. Peck.

I'VE are never amazed when vessels
go aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are COM
mon on that treacherous water, for we
expect such things then" said 2 lake
skipper, "but when one is grounded
on a clear day and wrecked, on course
as clear as the day and in the hands of
a pilot that knows the ground like a
book, we naturally wonder little and
want to know the why's and wherefores.
Such was the case of the propeller SUI
san E. Peck, that went aground near
Bar Point and was lost with 10000
cargo.
1.-THE captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar Point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other
as one of the most expert navigators
in the lake business. He had been ly-
ing up long time for the very good
reason that owing to an accident to
one of his legs that leg had to be ampu-
tated to save his life. The lost men,
Der was replaced by an artificial leg
and then the pilot was ready to take
his post at the wheel again. His first
service after his misfortune was this
trip of the Susan E. Peck, and he ran
her aground.
THE puzzle to everybody was how
i, was possible for the propeller,
handled by man of such skill and ex-
perience, on a straight course only 40
miles long and with every sailing con-
dition favorable, to leave her course.
The pilot was the most puzzled and
astounded person of all. He soon got
another vessel, and this one he ran in
such an erratic manner, but fortunate
~ with no disastrous result, that he
was compelled to give her up. and his
usefulness as pilot was gone. He and
others went to investigating to see if
they could discover what was wrong
with his seamanship. After awhile
they discovered what they believed was
the trouble. In the pilots artificial leg

the joints and other places. Sitting
close to the pinnacle, as he did while
steering. this steel deranged the COM
pass SO that it threw the wheelman
way off his reckoning and led to the
wrong plotting that had wrecked the
Susan E. Peck and endangered the
ether vessel that the wheelman navi-
gated subsequently. This was what
they argued, and to demonstrate the
correctness of the theory the pilot took
charge of vessel without wearing his
false leg. Everything worked to a
charm. The mystery of the Susan E.
Peck was solved and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence
OF Lake Erie shippers and vessel own
ers."-N. Y. Sun.
