Mary REESE. He told his family about

Boston family, backed up with $3O,00O,-

worth seeing.
1t should not be! said the family.
Never! 1t was foolish idea on the
part of the boy. He must be sent
around the world to see other places,
other faces. and forget the pretty
daughter of the humble arsenal ma

Young Bigelow was no fool. He
loved Mary REESE, she loved him, and
he preferred her, only too wisely, to
any of the specialized, erudite, blue
blooded Back Bay young persons VINO,
in his family's estimation, would
make the sort of bride he should
have. He knew his family thorough

cross them would be disagreeable. So
he agreed to the trip around the
world but he had trick up his sleeve
all the time.
To Mary REESE alone he confided it.

AN INGENIOUS HEN RoosT
Here Is a Scheme Which Has No
Patent or Expense Con-
nected with It.

The Ohio Farmer from time to time
has had much advice, about roosts for
hens, and nearly all of them made the
point that they should not be attached
to the side walls, but have some de-
vice whereby it would be impossible
for the mites and similar enemies of
the hen to get to the roosts. We have
tried many sorts and methods, but
have discarded all of them, for
one that seems perfection and has no
patent or expense tied to it. In one
corner of the hen-house we drive a
stake, possibly three inches in diam
eter, until it is firm, and about 80
inches in height. The top end is then
sharpened somewhat, and on this is

very much alike, and this fact and
their beauty made them much talked
about.
One. day a young man, Horatio
Bigelow another good old Boston
name-and the son of Albert S. Bige-
low, the copper millionaire, saw the
girls. He was attracted by their
beauty but managed to choose be-

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing, on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinlzham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
"Over a year ago / wrote you a letter asking
advice, as had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. l received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. / am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured will Lydia l.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no

tute which druggist may offer

Indulgence of Children.

No children of any generation or
country have been INDUCED more than
the children Of the present age are in
dulged. Instances Of parental control
are exceptional. Children are turned
over to teachers in many cases to save
parents from responsibility and care
which it is their natural and moral
duty to assume.
The fancy in some heads appears to
be that boys should be left to play all
the time; should never be punished for
their offenses; should not be given the
hard lessons Of obedience; should know
no hard tasks. The truth about the
matter is that their loose and imprac-
ticable theories Of training the rising
generation would be apt to fill the land
with idle and worthless sports.
Sport is all right. Freedom for the
young is very much in order. Open
spaces, rallying grounds, swimming
pools and good schools should be pro-
vided. In many places these are now
provided. The main mistake is made
by those who fancy that it is all Of life
to play.-Galveston News.

Testifying before the Senate COM
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. have never advocated any law,
and am not now in favor Of any law,
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands of any commission or
any court. While it may be necessary
to do that some time, while that is
done in some States at the present
time, while dt is done In some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. The
railway rateeis property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got The
rest of it's property lis not good for any
thing unless it can charge rate. Now
it has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, If that rate was an
unreasonable rate, it deprives the rail
road company or It's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property Of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is Inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that COM
pany Of its rights, of it's property, and
the Circuit Court of the United States
has jurisdiction under the fourteenth
amendment to restrain that.
have looked at these cases great
many times, and I can only come to
the conclusion that railroad company
is entitled to charge fair and reason
able rate, and if any order Of COM
mission, if any statute Of a State Legis-
lature takes away that rate, the four
teenth amendment protects the railway
company"

KEEPING THE AIR MOIST.

Health Endangered by an Excessive
Dryness of the Atmosphere.
Indoor humidity has again been dis
cussed by member Of the medical pro-
fession, who takes the stand also that
the excessively dry air of houses dur
ing the heated season Is injurious to
the human organization, because the
dry air in passing over the membranes
Of the respiratory passages and the
skin calls for an enormous output Of
the fluid elements of these tissues.
This physician, DR.. Henry Mitchell
Smith Of Brooklyn, N. Y, holds that
this leads to glandular overactivity and
its consequent evils, but he does not
offer the specific proofs which, it has
been asserted, are lacking to show that
direct deleterious effects are thus pro-
duced. In his contribution, which was
made to the Brooklyn Medical Society,
he mentions, however, some tests he
had conducted with a radiator having
an experimental moistening apparatus
