WOMEN'S ERAS.
Ages Of L izabsth, Anne and Victoria
Were R~emsrkati, EpochS.

Ii il a remarkable fact, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, that three SOW
ercign ladies. Elizabeth, Anne and
Victoria, have given their names to
the three greatest periods OF English
literature, which were also eras Of
notable military conquest. Elizabeth,
herself a learned but stilted and pc
DANTE writer, gave an impulse to au-
thor,hip which eliminated in Shake
speare and Bacon. and a brilliant
galaxy Of lesser lights. The reign Of
Queen Anne. a dull, commonplace,
indulent woman, with no intellectual
aspirations. was rendered illustrious
by the genius Of Prior, Pope. Swift,
Addison, Defoe, Congreve aud other
authors, while Newton and Berkeley
were making valuable discoveries in
science, then in its infancy, and MARI
borough was winning brilliant yicto-
ries.
Space fails for mention Of even the
foremost Of the writers who have lent
honor and renown TO the Victorian
age-names familiar as household
words. Victoria herself made some
modest essays in authorship-chron-
icles Of the travels and domestic life
of the royal family in iis various re-
sorts, which greatly endcared her 10
her people. for ever the most trivial
personal details OF the reigning house
are of surprising interest. Remark
able as were the literary achievements
Of the Victorian age, and worthy as
were the contributions TO art and
music, they fall far below the signal
triumphs achieved by science in this
reign Of almost 81 years-thc longest
in British annals. This age. notable
for new discoveries in all branches Of
science, can point with especial sat
isfaction TO those advances Of med.

The most helpless man in politics is the average college profcs-

uPain in the head and back is form
Of suffering with which SO many women
are familiar. Often this pain Is asso-
ciated with nervousness, sleeplessness
and loss Of appetite. The cause OF such
suffering is generally to be traced to

or a diseased condition of the delicate

In such cases the action of DR.. Pierce's

The Portland papers should not be-
come excited because of the objections
raised here and there to the proposal
that the legislature appropriate $780,
900 for the Lewis and Clark fair, 1t
Is unkind as well as unwlse to init
mate that this opposition is actuated
by sinister motives. The Astorian be-
lievss that every oregonian wants to
see the fair made a great success, and
that the people of the state are prac-
tically unit in AGREEING that the leg
islature should make a suitable appro-
priation. In a community of 100000
people different opinions are bound TO
manifest themselves. and it is indis-
Greet TO attribute this to lack of pub
lie spirit. We have too much faith in the
good sense of oregonians generally to
think for a moment that they are un-
loyal, or that an unprogressive senti-
ment would attempt to defeat the
plans Of the fair board. The direc-
tors OF the exposition did not fix
$500 600 as the sum that would neces-
sarily be required OF the state, but
rather suggested that amount that the
people might get a line" on what
would be required of them. The sug-
gestion Of the board having been plac-
ed before the people, they are now dis
cussing the matter, as sensible people
should, before arriving at a decision.
The opposition is merely incidental.
Those who believe s5OO,o0O too large
sum for the Portland undertaking
are, we think. actuated only by de-
sire to subserve what they regard as
the best interests of Oregon. If the
amount is too great, 1t should be re-
duced; If it is too small, it should Be
increased. II there is any merit in
the Portland contention that the fair
is state undertaking. and of equal
interest to the citizens of Multnomah,
OF Clatsop. Wallowa, Curry and NAL
heur. then there should be no objec-
tion to thorough discussion of the
question outside of the Oregon metrop-
oils. AS far as The Astorian is con-
carned, It wants to see the fair a great
success. and to this end II win lend
Its warmest support. 1t knows that
the people of Clatsop entertain the
same view, and that Astoria will, at
the proper time, come gracefully to
the front with her share of support.

creeps out in Portland that the OPP
ponents of 100000 appropriation are
