What Makes women weak +?

The chief contributing cause to worans weak
ness and illhealh is her ignorance of the important
truth that woman's general health depends upon
the local womanly health If women knew and
understood this fact they would not attempt the
impossible feat of developing the general health
while Ignoring unhealthy local conditions Money
Is wasted in "doctoring" for headache, backache
nervousness, seeplessness and other ills familiar to
women If the treatment of these diseases does not
cure the primary disturbing cause-disease of the
delicate womanly organs. It is of course possible
that there may be general i1lhealth in spite of
sound local health But it is absolutely impossible
that the general health can be good when there are

treatment of her diseases. That such ignorance
abounds is shown by the testimonials published by
permission, and often by request of grateful women
who wish other sufferers to know the way to health
The result of this ignorance is that women suffer
for years, going from one practitioner to another
trying various medicines snatching vainly at every
straw in their desperate desire for help and healing

very close connection between the

may be stated in the following lines {:
Education is as IA in Mass. to 8.8

"Production is as Is in Mass. to

THE MORAL VALUE OF GOOD TEMPER.

A reader of Robert Louis Steven
sons Letters says they show how
we'll he practiced in everyday life
the gospel OF courage, OF the high
moral value of good temper, and of
the crime of gloom and dependency
A fit of irritation was to him a thing
to be ashamed of, and he APP Ologizes
for being occasionally cast down by
his i'll health. One cannot fail to be
struck by the buOyant and joyous
note in Stevenson, whose whole life
was a struggle with disease. By pure
will power he prevented physical
pain from mastering his spirit. he
felt that a mans duty was TO be
CHEEKY and helpful, for the sake OF
others and that it was u miserably
poor thing to let ones own suffering
shadow others lives. Hence this
heroic soul in weak body was a hap
piness-maker, both in his home circle
and in that larger circle touched by

value.
When it m to be recognized
more generally, as it ought to be-,
that good temper is not only Guilt
vatable but a Christian duty, and
that n has no moral right TO iniict
gloom and dependency upon the
home members or the community,
we shall doubtless see "a marked
change for the better. Doubtless a
sunny disposition is natural to some,
and not TO others; but all may &C

BoRAx A DOMESTIC REMEDY.

A simple domestic remedyis borax.
My mother kept a solution of salt
water and bOrax constantly on hand,
and if the slightest irritation or sore
throat developed among US she had
us gargle three times a day and lave
our mouths and tonsils freely. Our
good health and freedom from fevers
and contagious diseases was owing,
in part, no doubt, to it's use.
& In tho IA of a burn, we wet
cloths, dipped in a strong solution
of borax water, and were very care
full to exclude the air in putting
them off and on. 1t is very cooling
and healing, and a child does not
rebel against it as with some RENE
dies. One thing in it's favor in using
it among children is, it is so harmless,
while other gargles with carbolic
acid r often taken by mistake, and
cause great distress. I often think
if every young mother only knew of
AOS NlGbuOS SIG WOuIu DO BudAAAuAS
and having once adopted it, would
never give it up As a d~isinfectant
it is excellent. One should keep it
on the kitchen shelf.
If you awaken inrthe night cough
ing and cannot stop, get a small
portion of powdered borax and place
on your tongue, and let it slowly
dissolve, and it will almost instantly
stop the cough, as it will also relieve
an ulcer in tho throat, Our great
singers use it to aid them in keeping
the throat in health. Water will dis.
solve only a certain amount of borax,
and so all one need to do is to put a
quantity into a pint or quart bottle
and pour on water. What cannot be
dissolved sinks to the bottom, and
when the solution is gone, add more
water. Use it full strength.-Phre-

breath of the king, the archbishop

daylight, announced himself, and re

the princess. she hastily attired her
self and met the venerable prelate in
her ante-room. He informed her of
the demise of William, and formally
announced to her that she was, in
law and right, successor to the de-
ceased monarch. "The sovereignty
of the most powerful nation of the
earth lay at the feet of a girl of
eighteen. She was, de jUre, queen
of the only realm, in fact OF history,
on which the sun never sets. She
was deeply agitated at the formid-
able words, so fraught with blessing
or calamity" The first words she
was able to utter were these, 81 ask

kneeled together, and Victoria in
