Over burdened
Women.

Many a man sees his wife bend and
tug at burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The womanly organs become
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
ton the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest meal will be late. No wonder
she il pale, weak, wretched, surly of tenn

be false to nature IL she were anything else.

Collector Heustis. Of the Puget sound
customs district has just been sustained
by the treasury department In the import
ant matter regarding the use of hekto-
graphs monographs and similar instru-
ments for the transcribing OF documents
that are designed for the permanent use
o; the government. The matter came up
IN several instances OF shippers, who sent
in bills written with monographs. and the
collector ruled that they were not admis-
sible. There was strong opposition from
the steamship companies and Others. who
had been following that custom. as 1t
meant heavy loss to them in clerk hire
to attend to the extra copying. The de-
cision has been received In the following
letter from the department, written under
