NO WOMAN rs EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter OF importance
IN every womans life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that IL
is necessary and not alarming, when
I'm truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation OF woman's health is
n perfectly normal and regular per
Torrance OF natures function. Tho
statement we print from Miss GEE-
TRUDs SKEs, OF Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town aud hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR Mrs. PINEHAM:--l feel like a

public know the good your remedies

had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your sanative Wash has cured

words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand siiing
women during n single year.

the field, the germs pass the winter IN
the soil and reinfect cabbages, turnips
or weed plants which may grow thereon
the next season. If fed to stock, they
pass into the manure, and are similarly
propagated in that way. Consideration
of these facts leads the station men
toned to recommend the following pre-
ventive or remedial measures:
Rotation of Crops. -Cabbages or tur-
nips should not be planted second year
upon land where the disease is observed.
In view of the dangers from this disease
and club root it is better in any case to
rotate these crops with Others. The seed
bed also should be made in new soil
each year.
Fertilization. Diseased cabbages
should never be fed to animals uncook-
ed Manure from animals fed on garden
refuse should not be used on soil intend
ed for cabbages.
Destruction of Insects. Keep the
plants as free as possible from insects.
Removal of Diseased Leaves and
Plants Where the disease has once
appeared, the cabbage field should be
watched and during August and Sep
TENDER should be systematically gone
over and all leaves removed and de-
stroyed as soon as they show evidence
of the disease. In case the germs have
invaded the stem Gas shown by the
blackened vessels at the junction of dis
eased leaf and stem the entire plant
should be uprooted and destroyed. This
destruction should be by fire or deep
burial
Suppression of Cruciferous Weeds. =
No plants of kale, wild mustard or 9th
er related weeds which may harbor the
disease should be allowed to grow in or
near the cabbage field.

rhe ..watermelon Miami,

J. WxMcAndrews, one of the famous
minstrels of this century, has become
insane and is under care at, Elgin, Ills
His brain was affected from a fall from
a street car in Chicago six years ago
McAndrews is about 20 years old and
was at his greatest vogue 80 years ago.
In the minstrel profession he was
known as watermelon, because his
most famous act was the representation
of southern darby cracking a black
snake whip, swearing at his imaginary
mule and seeking to sell "a load of i'm
aginary watermelons. He played with
all the big minstrel companies and
made. a European tour with Haverly
At that time he did his watermelon act
before Queen Victoria and is said to
have caused that good woman TO laugh
in decidedly unqueenly fashion. Now
he is poor and crazy, but still happy in
the belief that he is on the stage.

CLASSES OF FOWLS.

There Are Three, and Each Has Tts
Strong Points, and All Are Needed.
Useful fowls may be divided into
three well defined classes-table fowls,
laying fowls and general purpose fowls.
There is need for all three of them
The man who raises poultry for mar
ket requires the table fowl. Those that
IRE making speciality of eggs need the
great layers while the farmer and
many others who keep small focks de-
mand the general purpose fowl to sup
ply both poultry and eggs for the table.
The latter is the most popular
The table fowls are bred for the
quantity and quality of the flesh that
they will produce. but of course must
lay at least enough eggs for setting.
They should be Of good size when ma
tured and have large development Of
breast meat as compared with the other
breeds, grow rapidly and mature early.
The chief value In the layers is the
number of eggs they will lay in year.
Size is not much Of an item. as small
hens. like the Leghorns will lay as large
eggs and more of them than the larger
breeds
The general purpose fowls come be-
tween these two classes, partaking Of
the qualities of both. They must be
good layers as well as good table fowls,
but are inferior to each in its speciality,
being rather compromise between the
two .-S-e,sss-.-4 '---%4
1t is hardly possible to combine all
these qualities to high degree in one
breedasthat is, to combine the abun-
dance and quality of the flesh which
chaFSe terize the table fowl with the
wonderful pTolifEacy which marks the
best layers The best layers and the
best tables fowls are differently consti'
tuted, with different dispositions. and
convert the GOOD they consume into diff
ferent products
While the general purposefowa is the
most popular, all three are required to
meet the varied wants of the people,
and the other two classes ara gradually
growing in favor.
On the farm the general purpose
breeds will usually prove y the most
profitable, because eggs as well as meat
are.needed constantly for table use -

BLACK ROT.

A GrOwina Trouble With Cabbag'es-
How to Recognize and Prevent 1t.
Black rot is of somewhat recent rec
ognition, but during the past few years
has led to serious loss in southern Wis
consin, Michigan, New York, Mary
land, Vermont and elsewhere. The
Vermont station says the first indica-
tion of the disease in cabbage is upon
the outer leaves of the plant, which
turn yellow and die in spots, usually at
or near the margin. Such leaves are
also liable to wilt. Careful examination
shows that the veins in the dead areas
are blaekened. The germs which are
the cause of the malady spread exclu-
sively through the vessels or fbrous
portions of the tissue These invaded
vessels turn black, and this striking
disccloration. is a valuable diagnostic
feature of the disease which every cab
bage grower should learn to recognize.
II the stem of healthy cabbage leaf be
cut across, these vessels are .seen form
Ing faint yellowish spots in the interior,
In marked contrast to the black spots
seen in the badly diseased leaf.

A Varied Career.

Salmon P. Chase, governor of Ohio,
United States senator, Lincoln's first
secretary of the treasury and chief JUS

father was in President LiDcoln's cabi-

most beautiful and fascinating women
in official life. Her marriage to Senator
Sprague of Rhode Island was a prom
