Woman's Suffering and
Misery.

If women suffering from uterine or ovarian
disturbance; from painful, irregular, distress
ing periods, knew of the great comfort and
prompt relief that may be had by the use of
would be more to1erable. The serious perma-
nent dangers that may come from these trout
bles if not corrected is hardly fully realized by
most women. This remedy was originally de-
signed not exactly for Dyspepsia, but for a
most miserable stomach condition which no
drug or combination of drugs seemed to re-
leve,-an acrid, irritable, distressing, condition
caused likely by bad Liver. After many trials
and experiments the combination known as
Wells Stomach Elixir was happily hit upon.
Words cannot express the degree of relief, ease
and comfort, this remedy has given the sub
scriber. The inestimable value of this rem
edy in such troubles is beyond computation.
From the hour of the compromising of the first
bottle of Wells Stomach Elixir it has been a
valued and indispensable family medicine, and
hold to be a most effective and comforting
remedy at painful, distressing periods.
For Stomach, Bowel and Abdominal distress
and misery, Wells Stomach Elixir gives
prompt and salutary relief; comforting, sooth-
ing, and gently invigorant to a weak, feeble,
nfiamed feverish, irritated stomach gives most
benign and happy relief. Relieves pain, dis
| tress and fatu1ence after eating. Corrects and
aids digestion, regulates bilious irritability and
bilious diarrhoea. At painful periods in female
life, and during change of life, it will be found
most grateful relief and support. In &c. and

Cleaning OIL Paintings.

An art journal suggests raw potatoes
to clean oil paintings. Have few po-
tatoes at hand, each cut in halves. The
fresh surface is dampened slightly with
cold water and used to rub the canvas
AS the potatoes show soil the surface
is sliced off and the rubbing continued.
This process will create little lather,
which should be wiped off as fast as II
accumulates with clean, damp sponge.
When the whole canvas is cleaned, ii
should be washed over lightly with
clean water from which the chill has
been taken and finally the water
carefully wiped off with an old clean
silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to
clean paintings are frequently in hear
say evidence, but this description of
the process may be of value. 1t is sug-
gested by way Of reasonable caution
that the experiment should be tried
first upon a canvas Of trifiing value
and upon one corner of that.

There is a real need of help for the

THE WINDS.

When sluggish lags my pulse, plead
The rigorous north will rouse and blow
Clearing the far horizons blur,
Starting the rune chant Of the fir
And bringing for mine earnest need
The bracing tonic Of the snow.
When incline to dreams and fain,
With half shut lids, would lounge and see
The boughs swing dangerously above
To low, thrush litanies of love,
And ripples goldenly the grain,
The south for me, the south for mel
When melancholy suits my mood,
/ long TO list, mid lapsing leaves,
The misty east discourse of pain
In its thin minor, and the rain,
With ancient sorrowing imbued,
Make plaintive patter round the caves,
And when the pilgrim zest is strong
For brackened pathways mounting high
Along the hill slopes to the crest,
Then would have the ardent west
Fling me his buoyant welcome song,
Toss me his old ecstatic cry.
So with the veering winds that sweep
The empyrean am one;
Feeling close kinship unto each,
Soul sympathies of spirit speech,
Blow they or shrill or low or deep
Across the face Of Gods white SUM-

In the early days only few schol-
ars, priests and clerks knew how to
write. 1t was then customary to sign
a document by smearing the hand with
ink and impressing it upon the paper,
accompanied by the words, Witness
my hand" Afterward the seal was in
troduced as substitute for the hand
mark and was used with the words
above quoted, the two forming the sig
nature. This is the origin Of the ex-
preston as used in modern documents.

will save you from this reproach

On twinkHng wings they eddy past,
At home amid the drifting,
Or seek the hills and weedy fields
Where fast the snow is sitting.
Their coats are dappled white and brown
Like fields in winter weather,
But on the azure sky they float
Like snowfakes knit together.
I've heard them on the spotless hills
Where fox and hound were playing,
And while l stood with eager ear
Bent on the distant baying.
The unknown fields are their preserves,
Where weeds and grass are seeding;
They know the lure Of distant stacks
Where houselsss herds are feeding.

Thy voice brings back dear boyhood days
When we were gay together.

MOTHERS HOUR.
A Time for Confidence and

When the children's hour is thing of
the far away past, because there are no
more little ones to have their evening
frolic or bedtime story, the hour once
devoted to them becomes the mothers
hour. 1t is an hour in which the young
woman takes her old place at her moth
er's knee as she was wont when she
listened to the evening story. But now
she tells the story to the mother; the
story Of her day, her fears, her hopes,
her ideals. Happy is that daughter who
can come to her mother as her best
friend, as sure of her compassion as of her
counsel.
1t is often so very different. The
mother does not invite the shy conf
dence of the growing girl. She comes
