All women work; some In their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-cessing treadmill, earning their daily bread.
 All are subject to the sane physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical distur bance, and the nature of their duties. in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis placements of tho womb, leucorrhea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of monthly perieds," causing back ache, nervousness. irritability and lassitude.
 Women who stand on their feet all day are moro susceptible to these troubles than others.

There is at present in Birmingham a traveller whose peregrinations have been most extensive and who, as John Wes- ley, IVoclaimed the world his parish, might declare the world his home. To representative of The Age-Herald this gentleman gave in the lobby of a of recent visit to the ruler of Abyssinia of recent visit to the ruler of Abysinia. Said he: "The popular outburst of hu-
 manitarianism in which prominent trav- eler of New York represented King Men elk as weeping at his visitors recital of the fact that Abraham Lincoln had freed the slaves of this country is one the fals- ty of which can only be excused by it's absurdity.
 "The Emperor of Abyssinia," continued he, scarcely knows whether the United States is an island or continent, and in all probability presumes MT. Lincoln to be yet alive, for the western idea rela- tive to Menelik's reputed intelligence and
 sagacity is one gravid with error.

 tive tongue; knows nothing of French or | English and very little of Tigrean, the 1 language of the northern part of his l country.
 "Menelik referred very sparingly to the | United States, but inquired minutely as 1 to my journey through that portion of | his possessions which I am advised he l has never visited While slavery Is os- l tensibly prohibited in Abyssinia, as g

STATE WITH MANY COUNTIES.
Georgia Has Added to Her List Texas Still a Record Breaker.

From the Washington Post. The Georgia legislature, which recently adjourned after a long session, made a further addition to the number of counties in the cracker state, bringing up the whole number 137 to 145
 New York, with it's great population, Is able to get along with sixty-one counties, while California, more than double the size of Georgia, gets along with fifty seven.
 What political necessity there can be for 145 independent counties in Georgia, each with a separate government, organ ization, and expense, Is problem but perhaps the reason is the same which has added to the number of counties in Texas until there are now 246. In one of them at the presidential election of last year only 22 votes were cast in another 12O in an other 180, and in fourth 60. The propen- sity to create counties in the south and southwest has always been marked There are 76 counties in Mississippi 119 in Ken lucky 75 in Arkansas, 45 in Florida and e6 in Tennessee.
