Doctors Mystified.

is sick some disease peculiar to her sex is
fast developing in her system She goes to her family
physician and tells him atory but not the whole story.
She holds something back, loses her head, becomes
agtated forgets what she wants to say and finally
ceas what she ought to have told and thus completely
mystifes the doctor.
Is it any WONDER therefore, that the doctor fails to
cure the dsease STILL cannot blame the woman, for
it very embarrassing to detail of the symptoms of
her suffering, to her family physician. It for
this that years ago Mrs Lydia Pinkham at Lynn
Mass determined to step in and help Having had
considerable experience in treating female ills with her
Vegetable Compound she encouraged the of Amer
lea to write to her for advice regard to their complaints
and being woman, it easy for her aing sisters to
pour into her every detail Of their suffering.
In this way she able to do for them what the ply
sicans unable to do simply because she had the
proper information to work upon and from the little group
OF women who sought her advice ago, great army
of her fellow beings to day constantly applying for
advice and roef and the fact that than hundred
thousand Of them have been successfully treated by Mrs.
Pnkham during the last year indicative of the grand
results which produced by her unequaled experience
and training.
No physician in the world has had such training or
has such amount of information at hand to assist the
treatment of all kinds Of female ills, from the simplest
local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the
womb. rttH
This therefore, is the why Mrs. Pinkham, in
her laboratory at Lynn Mass is able to do for the
aing of America than the family physician. Any
woman, therefore, responsible for her suffering
who will take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham
for advice
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing
from grateful establish beyond doubt the power
of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
conquer female diseases

The Unique Horn Of the Unicorn.
The horn of unicorn was shown at
Windsor castle and in 1893 was valued
at over 100000. Lewis Vertomannus,
gentleman of Rome, saw with his
own eyes two uniforms presented to the
sultan of Mecca by king of Ethiopia.
They were in park Of the temple of
Mecca and were not much unlike a colt
Of 80 months of age. This was in 1903.
The animal became extinct about the
end of the seventeenth century.
The unicorn is represented In the
ruins at Persepolis, and it was adopted
by the Persians as the emblem of speed
and strength. In the middle ages it
was the symbol OF purity. The unicorn
hated the elephant. and it used to whet
its horn on a stone before it struck the
foe In the abdomen. No family, by the
way. should be without one of these
horns, the average length Of which Is
four feet. They defend from witch
craft. Thus Iorquemada had one al
ways on his writing table. Further
more. drinking cup made from one
will be safeguard against poison, as
will the ground powder put In drink,
and indeed the wells of the palace of
st. Mark could not be poisoned in the
good old days Of adventure because
these beneficent horns had been
thrown into them. Unicorn's horn was
formerly sold by apothecaries at $120
an ounce.-BoSton Journal.

From almost the beginning Of Ameri-
can stage history there were negroes OF
the minstrel variety impersonated on
the stage, though 1t was not until ABOUT
1910 that they were, organized into
bands. Some of the greatest actors OF
inter days had their experience as min
strcls. among them Joe Jefferson ana
Edwin Forrest.
Forrest was given a negro song ana
dance" net to do when he was very
Young, and after he had studied II up
he asked where was the "old negro
iodv" that was to act his assistant IN
the niece. The management tried sew
eral of the women who were members
of the company, but none OF them
would consent to blacken up, and, IN
fact they were very indignant over the
proposition. The actor, however, was
not easily discouraged, and on the
night of the first performance he black
ened up and went around the corner to
an old negro woman who did his wash
ing.
"Hello, Dinah," he said on entering
"HOw yO' be err Ieeiln ois pery hno

Hello, yo'." replied the African lady.
"Pcars to me yo' am er berry fresh mig

Tze 10 Niger" answered Forrest,
and then, time being rather short, he
assumed his natural voice and told d.
nah, much to her surprise, that he was
Forrest the actor, and that he wanted
her to go On the stage with him that
night and laugh loudly at frequent In
tervals, which was all the female part
called for. The two made great hit
and were kept on for some time, which
goes to show that Forrest might have
been n good minstrel had he been of an
ambitious nature.-saturday Evening

TIE arrest In New York OF DR.. and
Mrs. A. P. Grinnell Of Burlington was
an outrage that is seldom equalled in
the way Of stupidity on the part OF
police officials. Imagine the feel ngS
Of such man when he and his SICK
wife were hauled up in public place,
charged with crime and rudely hustled
of to the police station to be thrown
Ia amongst the lowest criminals OF
that wicked metropolis, and to be
jeered at as one Of them. The deli
cate lady was denied even the comfort
Of carriage to convey them to the
station and the thoughtful husband
was helpless to protect her. 1t would
not have been strange por indeed en-.
tirely blameworthy had the learned
physician made forcible resistance to
the insults of his prosecutors, but he
wisely kept his peace and endured
the indfgnity as best he might.

task. 1t might be apply suggested
however, that he will be rewarded for

His Theory.

A novel explanation Of the cause OF

one of the Inhabitants.
"Do you know what makes thun-
der?' the Nova Scotian inquired Of his
guest. 1--WE got theory of my own,
and call it pretty good one"
II should like to hear It," was the
diplomatic reply.
"Well," said the host slowly, "my
idea is this: You know we hear about
the air circulating and circulating all
the time. My notion Is that the pure
air from above comes down here In
summer. and gets foul with all the
smoke and dirt and grease, and then
the heat drives it up again into the
clouds, and when it gets up there it's
pressed on all round by the clouds COM
ing together, and 1t explodes! That's
my theory. OF course" he added, with
becoming modesty, "other folks may
