ish government has consented
to institute fa~r-reaching reforms in
Macedonia. on paper at least, the
spirit of the Macedonian revolution
lists is as warlike as ever,
and the name most frequently
and conspicuously associated with the
revolutionary cause is that Of Boris
Sarafoff. Nothing of a desperate ma
ture happens in the Balkans but it is
only to glance at the recently pub
lished Blue and Yellow Books to APP
p%reciate the Importance of his person
atty. His every movement is chron-
icled in dispatches to every European
chancellery, and when his whereabouts
areas they frequently are-obscure,
the question: Where is Sarafoff?"
is feverishly telegraphed from half u
dozen European capitals to CONSTANT
nople, Sofia, Belgrade, Salonica and
back again.
Sarafoff embodies the idea of
Macedonia for the Macedonians. He
is a conspirator and rebel of the classic
type. absolutely without scruple and
fond of yelling his proceedings in lurid
mystery. He is, in short, an extremist.
A Macedonian by birth, he was sent
at an early age to Bulgaria, and there
received his education. He entered the
Bulgarian public service, but soon re-
nounced it in order to conspire for the
rescue of his fellow c%ountrymen from
the yoke of the Turk.
AT first he participated in the idea
of the Great Bulgaria." which was
sought to be restored by the treaty of
San Stefano, and he preached the Cos
pei of the annexation of Macedonia.

changed his mind, and came forward

" disappointed if the country We're to

and thus bound more tightly than ever
to Turkey. Hence. Sarafoff's star is
again in the ascendant.
In this connection il might be said
that it seems strange that an Ameri-
can woman, living at Sofia, Bulgaria,
should have been the chief instrument
in bringing about the interference of
the powers on behalf of Macedonia.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of Mysteries, is
unit to care fr children; it ruins a ch1ds disposition and reacts
upon herself The trouble between, children and their mothers
too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female
weakness and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; it s impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some arrangement of the uterine system
with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge
OF nervous prostration.
When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can
not do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet,
will themselves become quiet.
