What does it profit woman if she gain
the whole world of knowlec &c and lose her
own health? Young women students, and
school teachers, eager, ambitious. and full
of energy, very often neglect their health in
the struggle TO gain education. They eat in.
sufficient food, and at irregular hours, they
allow irregularity of the womanly functions
to be established, and the result is that they
become chronic invalids with all their educa-
tion practically worthless. There is plain
road back to health for such as these, mark
ed by the feet of thousands. 1t is the use of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
diseases of the stomach and digestive and
nutritve organs, and DIR. Perce's Favorite
Prescription for diseases of the delicate
organs of womanhood. A cure so certainly
follows the use of these remedies that out Of
hundreds of thousands who have tried the
treatment, ninety-eight in every hundred
have been perfectly and permanently cured.
Constipation, with its calamitous consequ.
ences, which is common ailment of stu.
dents, can be entirely cured by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

A NEW NATIONAL HYMN-WHY NOT?

Originality is a distinctive trait in the
American national character On almost
every field of human thought and physf-
caI activity the American has left his
impress Not only this. but in very many
notable instances has he been the leader
and marked cut the paths wherein others
have followed. IN abstract and in applied
science he has made notable contrfbu-
lions to the worlds store of knowledge.
and among the Investigators of all the
great problems Of the times he has taken
foremost rank
n one field only has he been dilatory.
Music is not yet his debtor. He has not
so faT enriched the empire of harmony
and sweet sound with many contributions
Of originality and force. There is no
such thing as American music worthy of
the name Here and there praisewo7thy
efforts have been made 20 create some
thing bearing distfnctiveIy national
character, but as a rule and in the ag-
gregate, there has been nothing done to
cause a feeling of national pride. This
is true even of what is classed under the
head Of popular music, in which domain
