women. It establishes regu-

It makes weak women strong

Secretary of the Young Peoples
Christian Association, at 1913
Madison Avenue, New York
City, says: "Your Favorite

HOW TO ASSIST YOUR GIRLS.
uThe change from maiden
hood to womanhood is one that
involves the whole body ut
manifests itself in the voice and
the nervous condition." says =
DR.. Pierce. "It should be nat II
ural and like gradually falling
asleep. Owing to present modes II
of living, however, the nervous y
energy of young girls is forced \
- the necessary nutrition for
tissues, blood and nerves is
wanting, and consequently the
young girl fades like flower in !
some bad atmosphere. Tight
lacing is another cause for this i
condition. The strain at this 4
time upon the blood forming u
structures may be too great. \
Disorders of the functions pecu-
liarly feminine are nearly always
dependent upon the defective
nutrition. Hygieuic measures
are most important. Fresh air
and sunshine are more than
ever necessary then l have
found in all such cases that
my 'Favorite Prescription is
Just the vegetable tonic for
the female system at this
time"

A Good Natured Wife.

An English rustic whose wife was
blessed with a remarkably even tenn
per went over the way to neighbor
one evening and said:
''Neighbor. l just should like to see
my wife cross for once. I've tried all
/ know, and / can't make her cross no
way"
You can't make your wife crossT
said his neighbor. II wish could make
mine anything else. BIT you just do
what l tell you, and if that won't
act nothing will. You bring her in
some night lot of the crookedest
sticks for the fire you can get-them as
won't lie in no form-and see how she
makes out then"
The pieces of wood were accordingly
brought in, as awkward and crooked
and contrary as could be found. The
man went away early to work and at
noon returned to see the result Of his
experiment.
He was greeted with smiling face
and the gentle request:
tom, do bring me in some more of
those crooked sticks if you can find
them. They do just fit around the ket-
tie so nicely!"

A Refreshing Change.

A professor OF geology In a Massa-
chusetts college has story to tell OF
Colorado mining camp which shows that
stars shine in the darkest ORNAMENTS.
Desiring to spend his vacation in practi-
cal study of mines, he got letters Of intro
duction to all the chief engineers and
mine superintendents In Colorado, and
visited one mine after another under the
most favorable conditions.
His letters were from two or three WE'LL
known men, and opened to him many
shafts where strangers were strictly for
hidden. The only difficulty was in APP
preaching mines which were under guard.
Labor troubles had made it necessary to
put patrols about many of the shafts.
Approaching coal mine which be was
especially anxious to visit, he was stopped
by huge Irishman who told him to
,'be afr.

"No matther. Ye're not allowed beyand

"But won't you take it in toathe super

"An' lave me post?"
Here Is quarter. You take 1t, and
get this letter to the superintendent"
"a quarter, is 1t? An the letther?
Wait till 1 hail Gimpsey an get him to

He put his hands up to his mouth and
called. A man appeared beyond. a ridge.

He went up the path and out OF sight

Agamemnon, it has been claimed, is
a glorious myth, but those who have
felt the charm Of Homer's matchless
epic telling of his achievements at
Troy will be loath to believe it. Let us
keep inviolate our belief in the heroes!
You may see today Agamemnon's
tomb at Mycenae, Greece-Mycenae, to
which he, as king, returned triumphant
from the conquest of Ilfum, bringing
with him, as 4Eschylus tells in the
greatest of Greek tragedies, the fair
Cassandra, Agamemnon did not die of
old age, covered with honors, for that
was not the popular end of heroes in
those strenuous days. Homer says he
was slain by lEgisthus, lover of his
queen wife, Eschylus tells that Queen
Clytemnestra killed both Agamemnon
and Cassandra.
