Nowadays a music roll is just as apt
to contain sausage as a sonata, says
the Philadelphia Times.
With the rudder of truth gone and
the compass of faith lost, love soon
comes to shipwrcck.
Some women's idea of their rights is.
all that they now have together with
those enjoyed by men.
\ man realizes the value of his wife
when she goes away on visit leaving
him to mind the children.
1t is Il wise woman who knows her

thoroughly attends TO it.
To refuse man in order to have the
fun of hearing him propose again is
dangerous; hs may propose again to
come other girl.
1t is not always wise to ask a child
for his opinions in public; they are
generally uncompromisingl and some

An Ocean OF Liquid Air.

Sir John Murray, in recent address,
drew a vivid picture of the time, in
the remote future, when temperatures
As low as those which Prof. Dewar pro-
duces in his experiments at the Royal
institution will prevail all over the
earth. The atmosphere and the oceans
will then have disappeared within the
rocky crust Of the globe, their ele-
ments having entered into new combi-
nations. In other words, to use Sir
John Murray's expression, "the waters
of the ocean will have become solid
rock" But over their surface will roll
the waves of new and most wonderful
sea, IAN ocean of liquid air about 40
feet in depth" At that time, Of course,
life as we know 1t will have vanished
from the earth.

RULES FOR MARRIED MEN.
why Doesn't Somebody Give
Them . Few Hints.

do wish some one would write few
rules for men, said a young married
woman recently to the Baltimore News
writer. I'm awfully tired of reading in
magazines and newspapers that must
meet my husband when he comes home
from his Office pleasantly and cheer
fully" That the house must be like
new pin. l must be prettily gowned,
the dinner must be daintily cooked and
served and that he mustn't be worried
with recital of the troubles of the day,
no matter if delirium supervenes for
me.
These precepts are all right theoret-
ically and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctiyely who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration,
but why aren't there II few laws of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
Why isn't there some one to tell
them to look cheerful when they come
in, and to forbear to grumble if dinner
is a triile late for any good reason, to
DC al llltit ~ III 'tI' ANU ''iIoid'',
and remember thai theirs are not the
only troubles in the house.
According to the ordinary writer, a
woman's whole married life should be
spent in. practicing eXpedients to keep
her husbands love from growing cold,
while he apparently may pursue any
course he pleascs, civil or uncivil, tyran-
nical or gentlemanly, and be sure of re-
tanning hers.
This may not be the masculine idea
of the ease at all; the sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
it is not the writer's fault they don't.
| sc3ulously keep all such articles away
from John, for he's very good hus
band. and I'm afraid such literature
would put ideas into his head and spoil
him.
Now, poor. unenliohtcned soul he has
an idea that my side of the partnership
has its own worries. and he tries to help
me straightrn them out, but who
knows how he would change if he ever
discovered that he is really made of
china and has to he handled with care
to keep from being broken?

Two Letters Which Prove
That Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Will
Remove TumOr and Cure
Other Weakness.

"Two years ago I was o great
sufferer from womb trouble and pro-
fuse flowing each month, and tumors
would form in the womb. had four
tumors in two years. went through
treatment with doctors, but they did
me no good, and thought l would
have to resort to morphine.
THE doctor said that all that could
help me was to have an operation and
have the womb removed, but had
heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and
decided to try it, and wrote for her
advice, and after taking her Vegetable
Compound the tumors were expelled
and l began to get stronger right
along, and am as well as ever before.

With Women

II q person 10 i'll and needs Q medi-
cine is 1t not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands Of cures 70 its
credit?
A great many women who are Ill try
everything they hear of in the way Of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain Of success. No medi-
cine for female ills the world has ever
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand'it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest Of
any other medicine.

A New lorh expert says that n coun-
try girl is better than her city-bred
sister as saleswoman. He gives as his
reasons for this that the country girl
,s not so likely to have her head full Of

Fulc, more attentive to her business
and that she studies the wants of her
customers more than the city maiden.

Some attention was recently directed
n an American medical journal to the
professional fees paid to physicians in
the states, and the curious fact was
pointed out that fee of $500 was quite
exceptionally ncttcd. In the land
phere milionaircs abound, as well as
men of large wealth this certainly
seems surprising thing. y surgeon
not long ago operated successfully for
appendicitis in San Francisco and his
millionaire patient voluntarily handed
aitn a draft for 100000. This fee must
eclipse any record we have in this
country, says an English paper. If
anything, however, there are signs
everywhere that "operation stock is
falling market That is to say, the
ices for operations are not what they
ased to be. Many causes, no doubt, are
cntributing to this doleful state of
affairs, but perhaps the most active oi
all is the increasing number of those
n whose hands the public find that
