Miss MfeMsDO0oZd]

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything. backache,
bearing down pains, hatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed q life Of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg.
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge.
N. J., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
" / think that q woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public but
restored health has meant so much to me that
I cannot help from telling mine for the sake
Of other suffering women.
"For long time l suffered untold agony
with uterine trouble and Irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
1 feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine it is"
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get

BILE Compound at once, and write to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special

Wilkes Starting Point.

A story which shows the great effect
which an apparently trifling thing will
sometimes have upon a persons after
life is told in connection with Wilkie,
the painter.
One day, when Sir John Sinclair was
dining in company with Mr.. Wilkie,
the artist was asked If any particular
circumstances had led him to adopt
his profession.
Had your father, mother or any of
your relations a turn for paintingY p
inquired Sir John. What led you to
follow that art?'
1.-The truth is, Sir John" replied Mr..
Wilkie, you made me painter"
"Iw exclaimed the baronet. "Why, l
never had the pleasure of meeting you
before"
NO." responded the painter, with a
smile, but when you were drawing up
the statistical account of Scotland my
father, who was n clergyman in Fife,
had good deal of correspondence
with you concerning his parish, and in
the course of it you sent him colored
drawing of a soldier in the uniform of
your Highland Fencible regiment.
81 was so delighted with this picture
that 1 was constantly drawing and
trying to color copies of it. and it was
i'll this way, to the best of my belief.
that my transformation into painter
was gradually effected"

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis.
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and So
called system tonics. Under such
treatment the germs of the disease
will still live in the air passages and
| increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill
ing the germs in the air passages, it
enters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
effectually drives from the system all
traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy.
Mrs LIE Rendu, 76 Western Avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: 81 believe
Hyomei saved my life. am better
now than have been in thirty years.
Many doctors, both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh, but I
was not cured until used Hyomei. :"
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that Anders Jacobsen will agree to
refund the money if you say Hyomei
has not cured you.
The complete. Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.OO, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect a
cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases of catarrh, long
extra bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for SOC.

He paused as if to gather courage
to go on, and his face paled.
I'm sorry. you know he said slow
ly, that Alec has told the story, but
there is only one truthful way for me
to finish it,
He took the box from Bruce's hand
and passed it to Miss Stuart. saying
only, "Will you open the box?"
Her beautiful eyes filled with tears,
and, with trembling hands, she tried
to break the seal. Peace Gray handed
her a palette knife. and as the cover
flew off they all crowded around.
It's nothing but a postage stamp'
cried Kathleen Indignantly. THE hor-
rid old woman! I'd like to throw it
into the fire.
Miss Stuart dropped the box and
ticed that Hawarden followed her no
one was silly enough to speak of it.
"Give me that stamp, Kathleen,
uuickw commanded Miss Fairlie. 1.-The
old lady's mind is all right" she add
ed after a careful examination, land
so is her gift. This is a four cent blue
Mauritius of the issue of 1S47 and is

ated gift"
Hawarden heard the joyous excla-
nations that followed Miss Fairlie's
announcement and came in, holding
Miss Stuart. blushing and embarrass-
ed, by the hand.
Are you sure, Miss Fairlie?' he
asked anXiously.
Perfectly sure" she answered, with

F. E. Fiske of the Hollow has
traded some Cameron, Missouri. prop
erty with F. Clifford Whiting of Hol-
yoke, for Brown Bros. store at the
Hollow.
Milton Leonard, Esq, has moved
into his new residence upon his farm
in the north part of the town, which
is said to be the best farm residence
in town.
A shooting ARRAY occurred at the
Springs House ON Monday evening,
the 18th, about 10 O'Clock. James
Barry purchased of VIM. Dodd, the
bar tender, a pint bottle of whis-
key, and putting it in his pocket, ex-
pressed an intention of paying for it
next Saturday night, when he should
be paid off. Dodd refused to trust
him, and demanded the liquor back,
following Barry to the door, and upon
Barry's repeated refusal to surrender
the whiskey, drew a pistol from his
pocket and shot him in the back,
the ball going into the left lung, from
whence the physicians we're unable to
extract it. Dodd, who is lame and
uses a cane in walking, claimed that
the act was in self-defence, Barry be-
ing about to strike him with the bot
tie, and saying, with an oath, that
he would kill him. Against this is
the fact that the ball entered Barry's
back. Evidence was also offered of
provocation on the part of Barry in
leaving the door open upon his en-
trance, and requested Dodd to "go to
hell" when asked to shut it, where
upon Dodd quietly shut it himself
also that Barry swOre about the cor
rectness of the measurement of the
liquor bought. Dodd was arrested
and on Monday examined before JUS
tice Fuller, who bound him over for
trial upon the charge of assault with
intent to kill, in the sum of $6, 600,
which surety was furnished.

An interesting fact not generally
known in regard to the diplomatic
corps is that a member of that august
body cannot, under the penalty of Of
fetal reprimand and danger Of recall,
appear at fancy ball in the national

evening when a large fancy ball was

of the diplomats who attended the
ball later in the evening were obliged
to first change the court costumes worn

The water of Mono is very singular,

When the larvae begin to appear the
Indians gather from far and near and
scrape them up, place the wormlike
creatures on cloths and racks in the
sun and dry them, when they are
beaten up and husked, looking then
like rice. The Indians call the food
koo-chah-bee, and many bushels are
