Where Diplomacy Is NeedfuI.

Praise is one of the most difficult OF
things to deal out satisfactorily. If
you do not praise a man as literally as
he thinks he deserves, he hates you; if
you overpraise him, he sets you down
as a sharper or a fool.-Boston Tran

The Value of Solitude.

Solitude, the safeguard of mediocrity,
is to genius the stern friend, the old,

which will bear it farther than sun
and stars. He who would inspire and
lead his race must be defended from
travelling with the souls of other men,
from living, breathing, reading and
writing in the daily time worn yoke of
their opinion.-Emerson.

THE THIEF OF BEAUTY
Is Captured by

Thousands of young women are awaking
to the fact that inherited confines has
been stolen, and instead of glowing
cheeks and bright eyes, the t~ell-tale
wrinkles of pain have taken their place.
These are the warning feelings! Weak
and tired in the morning, no life to enter
upon their former pleasures, irritable,
cross, dull headaches, general dispirited
feeling, sleepless nights, cold feet, ''bear-
ing down" pains. All these symptoms
indicate deranged and weakened organs,
and exhausted energies follow the weak
ened condition of the female organs as
surely as night follows day. Save your
