"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM 81 am one
of the many of your grateful friends
who have been cured through the use
of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and who can to-day
thank you for the fine health enjoy.
When I was thirty-five years old, l
suffered severe backache and frequent
bearing-down pains; in fact, I had
womb trouble. was very anxious to
get well, and reading Of the cures your
Compound had made, decided to try
it. / took only six bottles, but it built me
up andcured me entirely of my troubles.
"My family and relatives were
naturally as gratified as l was. My
niece had heart trouble and nervous
prostration, and was considered incur
able. She took your Vegetable Com
pound and it cured her in short time,
and she became well and strong, and
her home to her great Joy and her hus-
bands delight was blessed with q baby.
I know of number of others who
have been cured of different kinds of
female trouble, and am satisfied that
your Compound is the best medicine
for sick women."-M MRS. ELIZABETH 81.

THREE CENTURIES OLD.
Communities in the Maritime Prov
inces of Canada Celebrate Their
Settlement.

Unless one is pretty familiar with
the story of European settlements on
the Atlantic coast, one reads with
sensation OF surprise, says Youths
Companion, of communities in the
Canadian maritime provinces celebrat-
ing the three hundredth anniversary
of their settlement or discovery.
Annapolis, Nova Scotia-the old Port
Rowland ST. John, New Brunswick,
have just had such celebration. TIC
the head of the noble basin on which
stands the one, and into the beautiful
river on which sits the other, three
intrepid Frenchmen, Samuel de Cham
plain. the Sieur DeMonts and Monsieur
Poutrincourt, penetrated in 1904, and
in both places established foothold,
three years before the English colo
nists landed at jamestown, Virginia,
and 16 years before the Pilgrims set
foot on Plymouth Rock.
In the history of both places are ro-
mances which would have tempted a
Dumas and adventures that would not
discredit Scott Annapolis, in particu-
lar, is rich in incidents which appeal to
the imagination and linger in the mem
DRY. First settled by the French, next
captured by the English, then granted
to Scotchman, and later taken again
by France, 1t played for nearly zoo
years the part of a shuttlecock among
the nations which were contending for
supremacy in the new world.
French influence still shows itself in
charming traits of character among the
people and in many old family names
English rule is, of course, manifest in
the excellent character of the whole
modern city. Of the Scotch regime, al
though it was so brief the name of the
province is a permanent reminder, and
on the dilapidated old French pier
some clumps of Scottish heather still
| survive.
For centuries France and England
| regarded each other as natural enc.
mics, and fought for supremacy. Al
| the recent celebrations both were rep
resented, and so, too, were their chill
| dren and heirs, the Dominion of Cana
da and this great republic. Indeed, the
most notable characteristic of all tht
festivities was the constant manifesto
| ton of international friendliness ant
respect. 1t was this which most charm
the visitors, and which they will re
member longest.

For his four weeks attendance at
Sandringham, prior to the recovery OF
the king from typhoid fever, in 1871,
Sir William Gull received 100000.
Twice this amount was paid to Sir
Morell Mackenzie for his treatment of
the late Emperor Frederick. The doc

her last illness received 1000 guineas
each; while DR.. Lapponi's skill in re-
moving cyst from the pope's side

bolic acid and coal oil are used for
spraying and these two agencies keep
the birds healthy.
About 500 squads are sold weekly,

homers, dragons, runts and crosses.
Some of the runts measure 40 inches

The farm covers 16 acres and repre-

CLAIMS CREDIT FOR HEIR.
As Recompense for Her Advice, DR..
Mary Walker, Asks Gear to Stop
War with Japan.

DR.. Mary Walker is claiming credit
for the fact that the cars new baby
is a son instead of a daughter. The
doctor says If she had not volunteered
her advice there would have been ar
other grand duchess in the palace in
stead of czarevitch.
All that DR.. Walker wants of the
done is that he stop the war with
Japan.
Give Japan the harbor," DR.. Walker
has written from Oswego to the car.
She does not specify which harbor,
but pretty nearly any harbor will do,
she thinks.
The following is a copy of an open
letter Dr. Walker has written to the
czar:
''To the Car of All Russia-Dear
Sir: In congratulating yourself and
the mother of your son, l most re-
specially and earnestly request you
to make peace with Japan.
"Give Japan the harbor.
But for my professional advice you
would not now be the father of a son
heir. The world will rejoice and say
that you would gladly have done this
one year since as the price of the as
surance of a son.
Il did not give information that has
resulted so gratifyingly for the pur-
pose of asking reward of any nature
but circumstances are such at the
present time that l expect you &C
grant therein above asked action.
