THE BIRTHPLACE OF WASHING
 TON

In singular contrast with Mt. Veron, the home and last resting-place of Washington, which is visited by fifty thousand Americans yearly, the monu- ment which marks the place of his birth stands in silent vigil. Rarely does any one visit it. Few more inaccessible points can be found on the coast, so near a great city. ..s
 The house where Washington was born faced Pope's creek, an affiuent of the lower Potomic, a few miles from the main stream. The estate in Vest moreland county is still known as Wakefield. There the government en- gineers in 1894 erected an cbelisk 51 feet high They also built a wharf, eleven hundred feet long, on the Poto- mac, at an accessible point. A road two miles long leads, from the landing place to the monument, and passes di- rectly by the vault where Washing tons ancestors lie buried.
 It was hoped that excursion and oth- CT river boats would bring pilgrims to this shrine; but a few years after the wharf was completed in suffered so se- IlbuSiy HUH otll NV JtAili tt9 w NY AAN longer safe, and Congress has been ask ed to appropriate money to repair 1t,
 The nearest river landing which boats now make is eight miles distant, and the road overland from it is round about. There is no steam railroad with in several miles. It takes longer to go by any public conveyance from Washington City to the birthplace of Washington than to go to Pittsburg, 3 strange contrast in transportation ia cilities since Washington himself made these journeys. ..4
 The occupants of the Wakefield estate when this boy was born, little thought of the effort which a great nation would make. nearly two cen turies afterward, to keep that spot fresh in memory, among other monu' mental tributes to it's, foremost son. The Youths Companion.

sUBwAY's UNEXPECTED sU % .t CESS. ~ -.'.-

r Probably no one has been more amazed at the various successes of the subway system than the officers ana the experts of the surface railroad me.
 Most of them believed that the suo- way proposition was 1mpractlcaple both from the engineering and from the commercial point of view.
 They have had perfect dennonstra- tion of the triumphs of the engineers,
 and there is no greater admirer of the
 subway trench and it's equipment than is MT. Vreeland himself. When this
 system was opened to the public. it was surmised that might carry for a
 year or two possibly as many as two
 hundred thousand passengers a day.
 It has been in operation now not quite
 four months, and the statistics of daily
 traffic and of increase of traffic justify the prediction that the subway will be found carrying before long an average of one fillion passengers a day. From the financial point of view, that is to be a superb achievement, promising as it does very large profits for the own
 CTS of the Interborough stock, and eas- fly met obligations, including the pay
 ment of interest upon the city's. loan.
 It is almost impossible to analyze this trafic. From one point of view it l would seem to be absolutely new traf- fic. The elevated railroads appear to
 be carrying as many as ever, and are
 certainly as badly crowded in the busy
 morning and evening hours as they
 were before the subway was opened.
 If there has been any harmfud effect
 upon the street railways it is not appa- l rent to the eye. s- :@, Therefore it seems almost as though in Manhattan through the building and
 operating of the subway a half-miIlion
 or more new passenger traffic has been secured. Of course, this is not true. The diversion from the elevated rail | roads and surface to the subway must | have been very large, and the extent | of it may be shown when the detailed reports of the receipts of the elevated and surface roads are made public New York Letter to, tlIe Philadelphia prasS - F. --'

household, and too often all the doc toring does no good.
 E If a woman finds her energies are Tagging, apd that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes, her. sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has baclfache, head aches, bearing-down pains, nervous ness, whites, irregularities, or despon- dency, she should take means to build her system up at once by tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.
 This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than all other medicines put together. 1t is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife.
 Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of ell South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "Ever since my child was born have snf- fered, as hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so that could not en- joy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. a.. lydia E. Pinkham'S Yesetable Com

'sLydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound made me well woman, and feel so grate-
 full that am glad towrfte and tell you of my marvellous recovery It brought me
 health, new life and vitality" !" <, What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
 do for every woman who Is in poor
 health and ailing. s. Itsbenefits begin when it's use begins.
 It gives strength and vigor from the
 start, and surely makes sick women
 we'll and robust.
 Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to | by the thousands of letters from grate- full women which are on file in the
 Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can
 produce such results.
 | Women should remember that a cure | for all female diseases actually exists,
 and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Take no substi- tute.
 If you have symptoms you don't understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, l Lynn, Mass, for special advice--it is

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of
 Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestmated.

men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes because she has the quail ties which inspire admira- tion, respect and love.
 A. There is a beauty in health which is more at tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de- stroyed.
 Whata disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over her head! A sickly, half dead-and-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous ness in the home, and a { drag upon her husband.
