All women work: some in their
homes. some in church, and some in
h whirl Of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadinill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many eases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds OF. female complaints. ovarian

placements of the womb, leucorrhuaa,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
OF monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritabiiity and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an i~nvisorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the ~fatigues
of the day, to sleep we'll at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see d woman
struggling to arm d livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, size is so
tired she can hardly drag about or

pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement Of the female or

on this years brood of the cygnets in
the upper portion Of the river. Six

the operation, the fulfllment of which,
will occupy about a week.. 1t Is said
that the year has been a good one, and
that the cygnets are rather more nu-

in catching our bird you have to be
careful you don't tumble yourself out

catch hold of them by the leg generally.
That does not hurt them. Then you
turn their legs up OH top of their wings
and they become helpless"
Then what do you nick them with

Odd Thinas About Gold.

From the F%hiIadelphia Enquirer.
Few people know the real color of
gold, because ii is seldom seen except
when heavily alleged. which makes it
much reddcr than when it is pure.
The purest coins ever made We're the
500 pieces which once We're in common
use in California. Their coinage was
abandoned because the loss by abrasion
was so great and because their interior
e$ u!d be bored out and filed with lead.
The most valuable coins EVER minted
and circulated.
All gold is not alike when refineG.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken from California. More
over placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one of the mysteries Of nletallingy,
because the gold in placerS comes from
that which is in quartz. The gold in
the TRIAL mountains is the reddest in
the World.
