The american Girl.
WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.


The American girl is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she Is the
happiest, usually the healthiest and friend
Hest of girls. She is fond of life and is
alive to- everything beautiful and good in
existence. \ Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters. ~ -s.s. 3.
Dr.. Pierce, the specialist in women's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex7s
ercises for women, preferably In the out
door air. But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties or
their business confines them to poorly ven
tilated rooms. ~
If a woman suffers from headache, a
oackache, a sensation Of irritability or
twitching and uncomfortable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the head or
back, she naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers In the
womanly organs. In 90 per cent. Of cases
the seat Of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and infamma-
ton OF the delicate special organs of the
seq should be treated steadily and system
atica1ly.
Backed up by over third Of century of
remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and. weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers Of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully
warranted in offering to pay $500 for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial Of their means Of cure. !

However, he eventually advised me to
try at a store at the next stopping
place, and this I did. DO you sell

Whistler and BoIdini.

Here is Boldini story which goes to
prove that Whistlers method was open
to constant criticism even from ms
brother artists. Whistler had finished
his portrait OF Mr. George Vanderbilt.
1t is full length Standing figure IN
black clothes against black ground.
The original feature Of the canvas IS
a walking stick held at rather acute
angle against the right knee, and the
whole effect is very somber. Whistler
asked Boldini what be thought of 1t
Bo1dini leaned forward and said:
Hell surely miss 1t. He'll never get

HShouTd Be Hanged"

& sssAdverting to the fact that Philadel-,
zplaia had 321 cases of typhoid in one
week, American Medicine contends
tEaI corrupt and contented Philadel-
r,hia.'r, is at fault and is guilty Of crime.
Since the beginning OF the present
year Philadelphia has had over 1000
cases OF typhoid. This implies GRIM
nal negligence in public officials,
since in 1901 England's death rate
from typhoid was but l.55 per 1,0oo,-
eco; that Of Paris .3.9l, and of Ham
Burg but + $50. So Like results could be
got here If honest discharge Of public
duty were in vogue. Our medical
contemporary quotes with warm APP
proval the saying that for every such
.sseafn some one should be hanged;
bnt the fata1ism which has from old
dominated the human mind as to dis
ease and death is still inveterare, and
ia is almost Impossible to arouse the
8 truer perception that every case OF ~
pnold fever represents, in reality, "a
crime somewhere, and that somebody
has been guilty Of criminal negligence,
" 1lich should be brought home to him.
Every case, as we all know, is unnec-
assary, and unnecessary disease ana
death is in its last analysis a crime
i IJnhappily our scheme of government
seems designed TO dissipate responsi-

NEW YORK, June 30.-The Gloucester.

Capt I:ufus Mckay. was sunk in q COLI
sion with the Hamburg American line
steamer Deutschland about ten miles west
Of Nantucket lightship early today Capt.
Mckay and his crew of sixteen men were
rescued and brought here on the Deutsch-
land. but they lost all their personal effects
and the schooner's papers. The steamer
was no. injured.
Capt kaempf of the Deutschland says
that dense fog shut in around the steamer
about } o'clock last night. and he was run
hing II reduced speed when. at 12:35 this
morning, fog horn was heard almost un-
der the Deutschland's bows. A moment
later a schooner's side lights were seen in
distinctly through the fog. The Deutsch.
lands engineer had been ordered full speed
astern at the first alarm. but 1t was too
late to prevent a collision. and the steamer
struck the schooner glancing blow, cutting
of the stern quarter. The schooner sank a
few minutes later. In the meantime the
watchmen on the French had aroused the
sleeping crew. dories were launched and
within a few minutes the men were safe on
board the Deutschland before the crew of
the steamer had time to clear away the
hfeboats.
