Mrs. Anna Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement OF nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how a a oma who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"During the early part Of my married life I
was delicate in health both my husband and
/ were very anxious for q child to bless our
home, but I had two miscarriages, and could
not carry a child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that | was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, | had no more b~earingdown pains, and
felt like a new woman Within a year I
became the mother of a strong, healthy
chilT the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
Faam's Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and | wish every woman
who wants to become a mother would try it. "
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia d. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to ~expettant or would-be mothers.

RED-WINoED SEA ROBINS.
They Are Among the Most Curious
and Interesting Fish Along
Our Shores.

suppose the popularity which would
5e noticed first about the sea-robin,
grunter, or gurnard, as he is v~ariously
called, would be his clumsy shape. The
head is large and deep in comparison
with the body. One of our observing
young folks, looking at him alive in
his tank of the United States fish COM
mission, Washington, says St. Nicho-
las, would be apt to exclaim: ooh, see,
he has little hook-claws which help
him crawl along!" Sure enough, just
in front of the pectoral or side fins are
three little, finger-like processes on each
side, which are used to stir up weeds
and sand, and to rake around among
the pebbles and rout out the small ami
mails upon which the, sea-robin feeds
il its native waters. While doing this
it seems to be crawling along over the
bottom by hooking these. peculiar
claws into the sand. Sea-robins feed
on small crabs, fish, shrimps, and
other diminutive animals, which they
find in among the loose stones. In Eu-
rope all the gurnard family of fishes are
eagerly sought, as they find a ready
sale in the fish market. They attain a
length of two feet and a weight of eleven
pounds. Our species of the sea-robin,
a cousin of the European variety, is
found on our northern coast, and is
taken in great numbers in the pound
nets along Vineyard sound, where they
spawn during the summer months.
They are much esteemed for the
table, being one of the most delicate of
the edible fishes. The flesh is firm,
snow white and hard to distinguish
from that Of the kingish. The Ameri-
can sea-robin is Is to Is inches long and
weighs from n and one-fourth to two
pounds. When taken from the water
they grunt quite loudly, and if placed on
the ground give a little hop forward Of
a few inches, granting as they do so.
This grunting sound can be heard quite
plainly if one is in a boat lying quietly
in shallow water near where they are.
The head is sheathed with bony plates
and armed with sharp points, which are
rather hard to distinguish at first, as
they lie quite fat against it. When
caught they erect all their spines and
infict very painful wounds on those
who try to handle them. The pectoral
fins are a little more than half as long
as the body, and may be extended like
a fan when in use, or folded quite close
together when on the bottom, thus CIV
ing them the nam Of butterfly
fish,"
The rays of the tail may also be much
extended to look like a Japanese fan.
The color of this peculiar fish is a
brownish yellow over the back and
sides and cream white below. The pee
toral fins are deep orange color, with
a blacklist marking toward the tips,
crossed all over with little dark brown
lines and edged with light yellow-or-
ange color. The lower jaw and sides
are light or~ange-yellow; the eye is a
beautiful turquoise blue, edged with 4
vein of brassy yellow.

SCARED AWAY THE GHOST

A Jealous young curate went to stay

he had passed a very good night. On the
last morning his hostess said: Mr.. -,

we were in our inquiries every morning
as TO how you had slept, but the truth is
that the room you occupied is said to be
haunted, and we were anxious to know
if you had seen the ghost"

DIFFERING VIEWS OF JOBS.
The Man in the Air Feels Sorry for
the Man on Firm
Footing.

A Chicago architect says that one day
he was obliged in the line of duty. in
order to consult with the foreman Of the
iron-workers, to go up to the sixteenth
story of the steel frame of an Office build
ing then almost completed. When he
had finished his talk with the foreman. he
was about to go down when he overheard
an amusing conversation between one of
the iron-workers and a man who was
cleaning the windows of a similar struc.
ture adjoining the new building.
The man who was cleaning the windows
was a husky Irishman; and as he swabbed
away he whistled merrily. Suddenly he
ceased his tune, and, peering into the
window on the ledge of which ne was
standing, carefully surveyed a roomful OF
pale, notwithstanding clerks. Then he
called out to the nearest iron-worker on
the building next door: Say, my boy,
just have a look at the lads in here
The iron-worker did as requested.
Poor fellows!" exclaimed the Get. in
a tone Of deep commiseration but. thin,
scmc men will do anything for a living!"
And he resumed his task.
That's right" agreed the iron-work-
Ell, turning again to his beam some hun
dreds of feet in the air.

Idaho Joins.

Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 9th (Special).-
Mrs. Martha j. Lee has given for publica-
ton the following statement, concerning
Dodd's Kidney Pills:
Il was down with Rheumatism three
times she says, ''and each time Dodd's
Kidney Pills helped me. The last time
they cured me, and now | am able to get
around and do all my work, though am
ffty-eight, and | can walk to Sunday
School every Sunday. Before l took Dodd's
Kidney Pills l was 50 bad | could use
neither hand nor foot. 1 shall keep
Dodd's Pills on hand all the time" -,
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles; Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the
blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove
this Acid, which collects in the blood and
poisons every vein and artery, Dodd
kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing
the Kidneys; by healing and strengthen,
ing them, so that they can rid the
blood of all impurities.

without the real freedom of the tramp,
who snatches a meal and a bed where
he may and lives under the open sky.
Our great wealth has produced a class
of restless folk, who can never stay
long in one place. What is a summer
journey to them? 1t merely empha-
sizes the ennui of a life in which things
have usurped all prerogatives n
made their possessors slaves. AS EN-
erson has pithily said: Things are in
the saddle and ride mankind" 1t isn't
true for all of us, but it is a mournful
truth for some.
When a summer journey is a matter
of planning and providing in the fam
lily councils, when M child decides
that she will forego a pleasure that
another may have it, when people take
turns in going and turns in staying at
home, when the key clicks in the latch
and the maid goes off for a vacatiop.
and nobody worries about what is left
behind, because the furniture is shabby
anyway, and the household silver is
safe in the care of a neighbor, or pos
sibly in the custody of a deposit vault,
when with light hearts and joyful
steps father and mother, brother and
sister, or young husband and wife,
start on a holiday, the short journey
is an experience to be treasured up in
memory for many days.
To those who are fond of the water
the ideal summer trip is not by land
at all, but in some roomy sail boat,
where there is space enough with close
packing for everybody to sleep. where
charmed hours are spent in s%cudding
before the wind, and nobody minds that
now and again other drowsy hours are
passed in inaction, when the wind
ceases and the sloop or schooner is be-
Gained. Never are there such appe-
titles for homely food as those have
who take this water trip. The air that
rufles the waves of the bay is purity
itself. Pallid cheeks take on the color
of the rose, tired eyes grow bright,
fretfulness and ~irritability are exor-
cised, health returns to the invalid,
and the mystic tie of family life and
family love asserts itself in subtle
strength and tenderness.
A summer trip Of this kind, if prop
erly managed, may be very inexpen-
sive, and if the blood of sailor fore
fathers still fingers in the veins OF
their descendants, every hour off shore
will be filled to the brim with a keen
pleasure that almost approaches &C.
