needs and requirements of the body.
All its effort was to guide the heart and
mind. The body might stumble along
anyhow, and it generally did.
Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come in
through the door of physical suffering.
uWhy must suffer in this way?" she
asks, uWhy does my back ache, my head
throb and my side pain, so that / am
fain to creep away into a darkeped
room and forego the pleasures which
belong to my season of life?"
NO ANSWER COMES
as rule to these questions. The young
woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told 1t is part
of the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
This is all mistake. Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
tifies prevent these miserable condi-
tions. But in any case, however dis
tressing the present condition, it can be
cured BY the use of DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, if It is disease durable
by medicine.
cI write few lines to thank you for
your advice and grand remedies, to
which I owe my health, and perhaps
my life," says Miss Flora I. Greer, of
Io7 Howe Street, Akron, Ohio. rMy
trouble started during my childhood,
but did not prove serious until 1853,
when met with an accident caused by
horse running away. From that time
I did not see we'll day. ! suffered at
every monthly period with terrible
headache, irritation of the spine and
pains in my heels so l could not bear
them resting ON the softest pillow.
What I suffered pen could never de-
scribe. ! had soreness through my
hips and ovaries all the time and con-
slant backache. Was afraid to be alone,
imagined that every one hated me, and
everything looked like a mountain.
One doctor would tell me one thing
allied me, another would say something
altogether different, but they only re-
ieved me. then wrote you in April,

but later transferred her membership to
the Second u r. Church Of Allegheny
where she was always a faithful attend

graduating with honor from the Nurse =
Training School OF the Allegheny Gen
eral Hospital May 10, 1900 Since her
graduation she has devoted herself to
private nursing and won the approval
Of physicians and patients by her skill
and devotion TO duty. Endowed by
nature with fine physique she seemed
the embodiment OF perfect health, but
after four weeks Of labor at the bedside
Of fever patient she was suddenly
stricken down with appendicitis and
typhoid fever and after two weeks of
intense Suffering her pure spirit was re-
leased from earth and returned 70 God
who gave it. Hers WIS a slngularly
pure. honest and noble nature, she was
not only sweet aud lovable but possessed
rare qualities Of mind and heart that
made her especially companionable and
by her large sympathies and con3cien
tious aud faithful discharge Of duty
during her hospital life she endeared
herself 20 Il large circle Of friends and
commanded the respect of all who came
in contact with her sweet unGelfish life
there and those who knew her best
loved her most. One dear friend Of her
childhood said Of her she was such a
strong character, it seemed so easy for
her 10 live right. She trusted in her
Redeemer and when the Angels came
they kissed the pain from her face and
left thereon the smiling peace and
beauty Of heaven. The home her
presence frightened ia lonely, parents
and brothers mourn but not as those
without hope. She rests from her laDors
and her works do follow her
One less at home,
| The charmed circle broken, dear face
Missed day 10y day from it's accustomed
But cleansed aud saved and purified by

One more in Heaven.
One less at home,
One voice of welcome hushed and ever
more,
One farewell word unspoken; on the
sho-e
Where parting comes not, one soul land
ed more,
Onl more in Heaven.
One less on earth,
It's pain. it's sorrows and its toll T.
share,
One less the pilgrims daily cross tc
bear,
One more the crown Of ransomed sous
to wear;
At home in Heaven. Com

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Monday the Fifty seventh Con-
rress organized, with but little ex-
citement or feature of especial interest
The action Of the Republican caucus on
Saturday settled the position of the
majority on the question of changing
the rules. and although the Democrats
made perfunctory sort of an effort TO
have them amended, 1t was so apparent
that it must fail that no one took IL
seriously. Representative Dalzell was
the Spokesman on the Republican side,
while Mr.. Richardson. of Tennessee, led
the Democracy The only striking
feature of the debate was Mr.. Richard
sons effort to goad Mr.. Hepburn, of
Iowa, who has championed the move
ment for a change. into arraying him
self against his party. He reckoned
without his host, however, for Mr.
Hepburn came back at him with the
statement, which could not be denied
that when he had tried to have the
rules changed when the Democrats had
the House. every member of that party,
including Mr.. Richarson himself, had
voted solidly against it.
Everything else, from the time Clerk
Alexander Mcdowell called the House to
order, including the election OF Gen.
Henderson as-Speaker and the drawing
of seats, went through like clockwork.
Rep. Showalter secured seat in the
fifth section, to the left of the Speaker
The assembling Of the Senate was
even less interesting than that OF the
House. There was good attendance
however, and several new Senators
were sworn in. Senators Quay and
Penrose were present. IN the forenoon
the former was at the White House as
spokesman for the delegation of CayUga
Indians, a tribe which adhered to Great
Britain during the Revolutionary war,
and afterwards settled in Canada.
Their descendants now want to come
back to their old home in New York,
and asked Senator Quay, who is re
garded as the especial friend of the
Indians, to prefer their request.
The Presidents Message.
The first message Of Presiden:
Roosevelt to Congress was read in both
Houses, Tuesday. He begins by paying
an eloquent and tender tribute to Presi-
dent Mckinley; and urging the enact
ment of stringent laws regarding an
archy and anarchists; delares against
tariff tipkering at present. and will
favor reciprocity on safe lines only;
points ont the dangers of immense COM
binations of capital, and favors enforc-
ing the publication of details; favors
the re-enactment of the Chinese
Ex clrsion law also the enlarg-
ment of the Navy and building of the
Isthmian canal; thinks the Army large
enough; talks about the growth OF the
Postal service; the problem of the
Philippines; commercial treaties, and
altogether writes very sensible and
readable and interesting message.

Old-IaShiOn0d Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old.fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. vBe good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was unde6led. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the
