your Wine Of Cafdui and only needed to

Tz.11HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
WI has a responsible position in
w the Governm ent service at
Washington, d. c., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine Of Cardui. II is not q
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements Of the menstrual
organs. 1t Strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science Of medicine.

Buried on Horseback.

Lord Dacre, who died fighting fo
the Lancastrians at Towton, England,
in 1861, directed that if he were killed
in the battle his favorite war horse
should be buried in the same grave
with him. According to his wishes,
when his interment took place in Sax
on churchyard after the battle q tTe-
mendous grave was. dug and In It the
warrior was buried, seated upright on
his horse For centuries reflections
were cost upon the accuracy of this
tradition, but few years ago while
excavations for new graves were being
made close by the reputed burial place
of Lord Dacre the pick of a digger
struck into a great bone, and upon
further search being made the skull
of big horse was brought to the sur
face. AS this was found almost at the
very spot under which the body OF
Lord Dacre was said to lie it was ac-
cepted as confirmation of the tradi-
tion, particularly as the skull was:
found to be standing vertically in the
soil. The skull was replaced. carefully
in its original position and the ex
!cavation filled up.

At What Age Should
Men Cease to Labor ?

Just to show what queer animal
is man, it is only necessary to point
to his inconsistencies and contraGic-
tons. A short while ago some lead
ing active men of the country gave
their opinions as to the age at which a
man should retire from work-cease
accumulating wealth, and take his
ease with dignity. It was held by
some that a man should not think OF
giving up work at sixty, because at
that time of life he was best able to
appreciate all that the world had to
bestow, could do his work. effectively,
and, consequently, should remain
in harness. BY this means he would
remain youthful in spirit, irrespective
# the weight of years.

is an ideal existence, but after that it
