The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or moro
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-

write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without

LIEUT.. MABEL C. HUNT.
4 Bright Salvation Army Lassie, Who
Knows How to Keep Her Corps
in Good Health.


Ogden, Utah, Jan. IL, 1901.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Pacific Coast Division of
the Salvation Army, whose noble work
in the interests of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western country,
has its headquarters in this city. One
of the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut.. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt. Everyone knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night, exposing themselves to all kinds
Of weather, that no opportunity may
be lost of rescuing some poor unfortu-
nate from sin and suffering. In some
cases, their recklessnesS in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably Is their
unfailing faith in the Divine injunc-
ton to do right and fear not" Lieut..
Hunt explains one of the means she
employs to keep her Soldiers" in good
health, as follows:
q have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and 1assfes have been repeatedly ex-
posed to cold weather and rain, and
have spoken for hours out of doors,
often with wet feet and chilled to the
marrow. AS a consequence of this ex-
posture, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheu-
matism and Kidney Disorders often en-
sue. In such cases 1 always advise
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for I have no
ticed better results, quicker relief, and
more lasting benefit from the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases than
from all other medicines L know of
combined. They cleanse the blood,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease"
A medicine which can do what Lieut..
Hunt says SO positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form of
Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism, or Blood
Disorders

Military service in Belgium is by
CONSUMPTION and every lad of 81 is
obliged to submit to the draft. If he
draws a number higher than that OF
the number of recruits called from his
district he gets off free and can never
be called again to serve. If, on the
contrary, he draws a number within
the limit, he must serve or furnish a
substitute for whom he pays 1,60e
francs (S320). The result of this sys-
tenn is that the army is made up of
either the sons of the poorest families
of the country or the undesirable char
acters who lend themselves as substi-
tutes. The tone of the service has been
lowered to a shocking degree and
right-minded politicians agree that the
army should be composed entirely of
volunteers or else the every man-a-sol-
der system adopted. The military
question will now be submitted to a
parliamentary committee composed OF
six generals, twelve deputies and all
the ministers of state.-Chicago News.

The Veterans Last Battle.
The veteran sits in his easy chair on
his porch at the hour of noon,
And looks thro' the clouds of his long
stemmed pipe DER the bountiful
meadows of June,
TIL the fire dies out of the odorous
leaves that under their ashes are
hid,
And the fire is quenched in his yet
keen eye by the drop of its trem-
ulous lid;
Then he mods and he dreams, forgetful
of all-the mortgage, the crops,
and the rain;
For the bugles and drums of the long
ago are echoing aloud in his
brain.
The bugles and drums have ceased,
have ceased, the cannon roar not
on the hill:
The stiffness of noon has been broken
alone by the pipes of the locust
shrill:
He slips from the arms of his easy
chair and lies outstretched on
the floor.
AS he fell from his horse in his younger
days and lay in the dust and the
gore.
The doctor will come and mutter ''his
heart" but never a doctor can
know
He was killed by the bullet that
wounded him once in battle OF
long ago.

gun is mounted with springs on four
wheeled carriages drawn by four

horses is mounted and four others

is provided with a bronze water jacket.
The timber contains $50 cartridges in

ments, that as many as 500 or 600
shots can be fired within a minute.

when Grant was in a Fog.

Charles A. Boutelle, member of con-
gress from Maine, had noteworthy
naval record before he entered the
fields of journalism and politics. His
knowledge of the sea is broad and in
innate and it was on account of that
he became the head of the committee
on naval affairs of the house. When
General Grant visited Maine about
1874 his itinerary included visit on a
yacht to Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor
could at that time be reached only by
boat. 1t was prominent party that
accompanied the general. With him
were some members of his cabinet, the
governor and senators from Maine and
other officials of greater or less import
ance. Off Rockland the yacht ran into
a fog so dense that nothing was visible
a few feet distant. The party assem-
bled in the cabin, shut the disagree
able weather outside and made as mer-
ry as could well be- Suddenly it was
noticed that Mr.. Boutelle was missing
and one of the party on going in search
found him, gloomy of face, outside
leaning against mast. Come, man,
called the searcher, cheer up and join
us in the cabin mo, thank you,
was the response, I'D rather remain
on deck while this fog continues

ssWhy. YOU aren't afraid of a little fog

that T am afraid. You landlubbers

asked:

Helen reached in a fence corner and
pulled a great glittering spray OF

After a few moments she said in
low voice:
You are getting bitter, Jonn. Don't
do it. 1t does not help YOU"
Don't you think l have cause to
be bitter? A man can smile and stand
a great deal; he can stand a great
deal more without giving evidence OF
his suffering, and there is still another
degree of pain, which turns every
thing to gall. 1 have suffered that.
You are very wrong to look at

What have you to be bitter over?
You possess youth, and health, and

"sentinel- and "Hussar.-

Two well-known military terms,
sentinel and "hussar,' afford capital
instances of the remarkable manner
in which a nation does it's word-twist-
ing. At first sight there seems little
connection between the Latin word
sentina, signifying the hold of a ship
and a soldier keeping watch over his
sleeping comrades. The connecting
link is afforded by the word sentinator,
the Roman gentleman who pumped the
holds of Caesars galleys free of bilge-
water. Upon his constant vigilance
depended the lives of the entire ships
company. Similarly, the word "hus-
sar" is merely a Hungarian term sig
nifying twentieth" 1t arose in this
manner: When Matthias Corvinus be-
came king of Hungary in 145S he was
extremely afraid of foreign invasion.
He consequently raised an army by
the simple expedient of commander
ing every goth individual in the land.
Hence the hussar.

Borrowing Powder,


A lieutenant of the United States
navy tells, in the Boston Herald, a
story about the etiquette of naval sa-
lutes. ship 1 was on dropped ancnor
in a little Haytian port known to have
battery in its forts. We gave the ma
tional salute, but waited in vain for an
answer. 1 was sent ashore to demand
an explanation, and was told, with
many apologies, that no powder was
on hand, but that people had been sent
to neighboring town for it, and the
salute would be returned as soon as it
arrived. This did not please our cap
tain. who sent back word that if the
salute were not fired by sunset, he
would consider it an insult to the
United States. In answer to this a
dusky Haytian officer, covered with
gilt and trailing huge sword, came
on board and said that if we would
kindly lend him some powder the sa-
lutte would be returned at once. The
captain relented, gave him the pow
der, and the booming of twenty-one
guns was soon heard.

hoping she might join him if not soon
recalled. Only a few in the garrison
had known that the order to our SEN

pected. The colonels family had
guarded well the secret. The
ceremony, with all its features, was
so picturesque and so unlike those we
have seen in civilian life On the at

soldiers walked with formal tread up

SCOTLAND COMING.
of 1t Are Being Frequently
Dumped in New York
HarbOrs.

1t is fact that Scotland is literally
being transferred to America. 1t is
being carried across the Atlantic
piecemeal; and, although it will take
many years to remove the whole of
Scotland, considerable portions are
being conveyed at not infrequent in
tervals.
The Land of Cakes comes to the
United States in the character of bal
last; and the other day as much as a
thousand tons was thus brought to
New York on the Allan line steamer
Laurentian. Nearly every week a
large quantity is shipped.
This is because of the absence of
freight. Shipowners would much
rather leave the land of the Scots at
home, but without ballast their YES
sells might turn turtle. While for com.
mercial purposes the soil is absolutely
worthless, it has to be paid for at
Glasgow, its removal from the hold at
New York involving still further ex.
pense. After the cargo of soil has
been discharged the ship has to be
thoroughly cleansed before freight
can be received on board.
But other ships than those that hal
from Scottish ports carry earth as bal
last. Any French or Italian exile in
America who is yearning for the sight
of his native land can see it without
the trouble and expense of crossing
the Atlantic by visiting the New Yorl
harbors. This is all because The tide
of trade is in our favor. We ship NOR,
