From the London Jewish Chronicle.
In connection with the monument that An
to be placed on Heines grave IN the cenne-
terry OF Montmartre. Paris, II is interesting
to recall the early life Of the poet in the
French capital. He fell in love with a poor.
unlettered girl. who served in a glove es-
tablisment and after keeping house to-
gether they married. Heine frequently beat
his wife, always declaring IT was for her
own good. These thrashings, however, did
not impair her conjugal fidelity. On the
day after his wedding Heine drew up a will
In which he bequeathed everything to his
wife on condition that she married again,
he wished, he said. that at least one man
should regret his death.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Rene

all over the country frowned upon
their curative claims, but as year

the great good that Lydia E.

attracting the attention of many of
