4 TIRELESS WORKER
A Victim of Nervous Debility, Now a
Wonder of Vivacity. Explains the
Marvel of the Change.

Mrs Dora B. Frazier, of No. 40 Al

is today the very embodiment of vi
vacity. She is an energetic forewoman
in a large laboratory and shows no
traces of her recent long struggle with
nervous prostration succeeding typhoid
pneumonia.
My illness began in 1885, says Mrs.
Frazier, and lasted for about three
years in all, and for three months I
was confined to my bed. made &C
casionaI attempts to work. but I could
only manage to put in two or three
days out of a week at the very best.
Several times I was actually at the
point of death.
I had good physician but he could
not succeed in getting me out of my
weak state. 1t was hard for me to re-
tain any food and my weight dropped
down to seventy-five pounds. I had
great deal of dizziness and suffocating
spells One of my legs was swollen so
as to interfere with my walking.
could get scarcely any sleep, my color
was very pale and I suffered from ir-
regularities that are very painful and
depressing to women
I dragged out month after month of
such an existence. Then I read of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
a Providence paper and thought
would just try them. Before got
through the first box I said to my
mother: why, these pills are certain
ly doing me good. We both grew hope
full and I kept on taking them steadily
for six or seven months and then oc-
casionally for some time longer. and
all the time my troubles kept lessening
until at last they were gone altogether
I got rid of indigestion, headaches.

sensations and irregularities of every
kind and my weight ran up thirty-two
pounds.

up my full work and in all that time
I have not lost a day through illness.

a well woman and 1 have no lack OF

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.
Woman SufTragists Form an Organi-
zatiOn at Berlin.

Berlin, June 4.-The international
woman's suffrage conference, called
by the international wOmans suf-
frage committee with headquarters in
the United States, met here for the
purpose of organizing an international
league for the promotion of woman
suffrage. Delegates were present
from Great Britain, France, Germany.
Holland, Sweden, Austria Hungary,
Switzerland, Denmark, and New Zea-
land. Miss Susan B. Anthony accept
ed the. presidency of the league, but
announced that she would leave the
actual work of presiding to Mrs. Gait
of Wyoming, who was elected secre-
tary.
DR.. Anita Augsburg, a German del
eEate, remarked that the founding of
the international league for woman
suffrage was an historical event. She
welcomed the delegates, and especial
ly thanked Miss Anthony for under
taking long journey across the ocean
at her advanced age to preside at the
founding of the league.
The platform, which was read, de-
cIares that men and women We're
born equal and free and Independent
members of society, and that the nat
ural relationship of sex is one of reel
procity and common effort. The sup
preston of the liberty of one sex in
eVitably injuries the other thus caus-
ing damage to all humanity Self
determination in the house and state
is the inalienable right of every nor
mai adult person, hence woman as a
class and as an individual does not
owe obedience to the state or to her
husband. Every government taxing
women without permitting suffrage
exercises. tyranny, irreconcilable with
Justice. Suffrage is the only means
for asserting the personal rights
which the American declaration of in
dependence recognized as inviolable,
and all modern constitutions accept
the same position. Constitutional
states must therefore grant Sl1ffra ora
irrespective of sex
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was pre-
sented with a gavel from the Wyom-
ing women She afterwards addressed
the conference, explaining how Wo-
man suffrage came to be adopted in
Wyoming.

Irish tongue He was told that the
American language was not without It's
merits, and it was remarkable tnat tne
Americans speech has certain virih-
ty of utterance often lacking in Eng

It was astonishing how comparatively
few people were acquainted with the
scope. the variety and the beauty Of
the speech wrought and builded up
with such infinite pains by those fore
fathers whom we regarded as barbara
ans We failed to realize what a su-
perb legacy of speech, the exact appre-
ployment of the right and fitting
phrase appeared well-nigh to have died
out among Us, even in parliament. The
general form is to be careless and slip

DECAY OF SPEECH.
Beerbohm Tree on the Art and Power
of Vocal Expression

Speaking of the English language at
a supper given in his honor by the Ed
inburgh Pen and Pencil club the other
night in London, Beerbohm Tree said
that in connection with his school Of
dramatic art and of oratory in London
he desired to establish a classic roper
tory which would give to the provinces
the works of Shakespeare which he had
given to the London public, and which
had not only been a distinguished ar
tistic joy, but had proved so remunera-
tive that they had more than once
saved him from those quicksands tow
ard which the waters of mOdernity
were fast sweeping him. Acting was an
art and speech was an art, and the
school would endeavOr to encourage a
deeper appreciation of the beauty of

tongue, the Scottish tongue and the

A Reindeer Exnress.

The capacity of the reindeer for team
work is remarkable. His hoofs are very
broad and do not penetrate the snow
crusts. His average weight is about
400 pounds. He will swiftly draw a sled
carrying 600 pounds. and with this load
can cover thirty. fifty and even ninety
miles a day. The reindeer teams now
carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point
Barrow, a distance of $50 miles-the
most northerly post route in the world.
No food is carried for the deer. At the
end of his journey, or at any stopping
place, he is turned loose, and at once
breaks through the snow to the white
moss, which serves as food. 1t costs
nothing to feed him. AS the white set
Elements increase in the mineral bear
ing parts of Alaska, and in many places

Wife-S Seekers.

Your earnest, manly man doesn
want a woman for a wife who has to
be coaxed or won with sweetmeats
and wooing, cooling words She might
ornament his home, but he fears that
she might insist on being cOaxed to
get up in time to get breakfast or
maybe to eat it after he had it ready.
When two have become well ac
ouainted they will soon know whether
they are mated or not, and this they
will know so well that you can't con-
vince them otherwise. He doesn't fall
down on his knees and plead with her
to give him her heart, for he knows
she hasn't the giving of it. Her hand
is all that she controls, and he pretty
nearly knows what she will do with it.
Those who are really mated and are
of equal social standing don't have to
propose; at least, not in so many
words, for they know each others
hearts so we'll that they have come to
a perfect understanding without say
ing word about marriage
Such as these never become Jealous,
because they have entire confidence
in each other. nor do they act silly
or want to make q grand spectacle of
their wedding, or anything of that
sort. Their sole thought seems to be
of the home they are going to estab-
fish and of the useful, happy life they
believe to be before them
It matters little whether such as
these have any money or not. for they
are satisfied to work for what they
need, and they Will get it, surely
