POPULAR PRESIDENTS WIFE.

Polly Madison Was a Remarkable Mis-.
tress Of the White House.
Beautiful, vivacious, affable and
rich, Dolly Madison dispensed lavish
hospitality at her husbands house
while he was Secretary of State and
presided at such social functions as
took place in the White House during
Jefferson's' days. Becoming regularly
installed as it's mistress at her hus-
bands Inauguration in 1909, she was
the leader Of Washington society for
sixteen years.
No lady Of the White House ever ap.
preached her in popularity except Har-
riet Lane, the mistress of the mansion
at the time of the bachelor president,
Buchanan, and Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs.
Madison never forgot the name Of a
person she had once met. She always
recollected every incident Of conse.
quence connected with the history OF
every person presented to her, thus
making every one feel that he held 4
high place in her esteem. In this way
she disarmed much of the hostility to
the weak administration of Madison
and won him many friends whose sup
port was Of the highest value to him
and to the country during the tempest.

United States and England. Worthy as
Madison was. says I4eslie's Weekly

How frequently and with what junction
the preachers select and dwell upon the
thirty-ifth chapter of Proverbs. IN
which the worth Of virtuous women is
put far beyond rubies and fine gold.
But virtue in women is given such
narrow Interpretation by many. 1t has
50 much broader significance. BY this
mean that a virtuous woman is woman
who is good mother one able to conduct
her household in the best way, who could
manage business or any large enter
prise.
This is the woman whose worth is not
to be measured by rubies or fine gold.
Again, sermons dealing with The In
crease Of Mother Love- are very popu-
lar, but how often do you hear one on
The Responsibilities of Fatherhood"
IF women were in the pulpit they
would handle these subjects from their
point Of view and show to men that they,
too, have responsibilities that must not
be disregarded.
1.-The yirtuous woman Of the proverh
is increasing in numbers every day. You
will find her in nearly every business-as
clerk in a coal office, as stenographer in
a bank, as bookkeeper in department
store-n a score Of other occupations.
"She is self-supporting and therefore
independent. She has numerous avenues
Of effort opening before her. She does
| not have to marry; she does not have to
ask any one for money.
ut is this independence that will finally
solve the social problem.
''I,pt tho wOma MOOD ot to-day realize
that strength, wisdom and every talent
or grace which develops Christian char
actcr affords an example that shall last
through the ages. And the heart Of the
pulpit should hold ascendency over the
intellect. as truly as the heart Of the in.
diyidual should control the brain.

Spain's Mining Industries.

The great magnitude of Spain's mining
industries is best illustrated by the fact
that the industry provides one-third Of the
total exports of the country. The gross
value of minerals produced in Spain in
1899 was the largest yet recorded and
over $4,000, oo6 over the previous Year.
The mines actually being worked in
Spain cover an area Of about 100000
acres, and the total extent of mines in
Guided in concessions already granted
amounts to nearly LOGO, 900 acres. The
growing interest in the mining industry
may be judged from the fact that dur
ing the year 1899 new mines amounting
to 169, AL acres were marked out, and
at the end Of that year 1885 petitions for
mining rights remained to be examined
and acted upOn.

Thrown from His Cab ana Killed.
The following is q most interesting
and, in one respect, pathetic tale: SHsr
Mr.. ]. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streat-
ham, said: 81 {. ~. II s.Ss 1::ss
'.Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead Is
horse bolted, thrown of his seat on his
cab he was driving and killed poor
chap, and good sort, too, mate. twas
him, you see, who gave me the half-bottle
Of St. Jacobs Oil that made new man
of me. Twas like this: me and Bowman
were great friends. Some gentleman had
given him a bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil
which had done him a lot Of good; he
only used half the bottle, and remember
ing that had been martyr to rheuma-
tism and sciatica for years, that I had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, became dis
couraged and looked upon it that there
was no help for me. Well" said Pope,
''you may not believe me, for it is mira
Gle, but before l had used the contents
of the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil which
poor Bowman gave me, was we'll
man. There it is, you see, after years Of
pain, after using remedies, oils, embro-
cations, horse liniments, and spent money
on doctors without getting any better,
l was completely cured in a few days.
I bought another bottle, thinking the pain
might come back, but it did not, so 1
gave the bottle away to friend who
had lame back. I can't speak too high
.ly of this wonderful pain-killer."
