suffer in silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that
they ought to have immediate assist
ance, but natural modesty lmpeis
them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probably
examinations of even their family
physician. 1t is unnecessary. without
money or price you can consult a wo-
man whose knowledge from actual ex'
perience is great.
Mrs Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited topromptiy

LYNN, Mass. All letters are received,
opened. read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk OF her
private illness to woman; thus mas
been established the eternal commence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never beer
broken. Out of the vast volume OF
experience which she has to draw from.
II is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
helm your case. She asks nothing IN
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if She does not take advantage OF this
generous offer of assistance.
If YOU are ILL., don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs Pink

over Sir Arthur's shoulder the hid

Macs fall from grace was due to the
fact that the hall was dark and that
he was in hurry. SO was Maggie,
for she ran plump into his arms and
somehow or other stayed there for Il

One of the quaintest ceremonies
which may still be seen in some parts
of Normandy is the "benediction des
bcStiauX." The oxen. asses and few
thoroughbred horses which are raised
in that part of France are assembled
in front of the little church. There may
also be u bullock or two and some
cows. The procession of peasants in
their quaint costumes issues from the
church to the music of Il chant which
is droned by the priest and people. The
venerable cure sprinkles few drops
on the heads of each of the beasts,
who receive it as it is given, with a be-
coming air of conviction. When all
the animals have received the benedic-
ton bundles tied up in coarse linen
are placed at the pedestal of the cross
facing the church These packets con-
tain bread and salt. which are to be
given to the animals not able to attend
the ceremony. There may be cou-
pie of hundred peasants taking part in
this ceremony, and not a trace Of
levity or anything but devout COM
posure is to be seen on their faces
When the ceremony is completed the
procession passes through the village

down the advertising section of a big

when Jamie went to the farm school
and they gave him digging and chores
and such it seemed right enough, for he
was a boy and was fitting himself for

but what l can't make out is why
ever city folks, and girls at that and
ones that don't need to be scratching
to make ends meet, should be paying
$50 extra, as the paper here says, just
to learn fencing"
Does seem kind o queer, ma, come
to think Of It," returned the old man at
the other end of the table, "but seems
like of late I've been hearing Il lot of

But Sir Arthur rose to the occasion.
Slipping a fresh sheet into his writing

sentence, handed it to Maggie and said.

block"
Silently Maggie watched them de-
part. In silent scorn she read this
typewriter outrage:
I'VE don't care TO hear you talk
Just clean"
Then, being an impulsive young wo,
man, she sat down on the floor and
wept Lastly she descended to the rear

complaint to her father

A calm man was Brady, which was
well. SO he hobbled painfully up the
long flights and made mild inquiry as
to "what was wrong betwixt Maggie
an the young gents"
In no time at all the assembled mem
bers of the Society of Resolute Hermits
agreed that apology was due Miss Bra

Like men, they offered both Much

the terms of the compact and pointed
out the dilemma caused by the appear

The principal beast of burden in the
inner ranges of the IIimalayas is the
mountain sheep, which will carry each
from seventeen to twenty-five pounds
of baggage and live entirely on the
heritage by the wayside A small flock
of them accompanied a recent expedi-
tion of famous Indian explorer for
more than thousand miles, being at
the finish none the worse for the jour
ney. 1t is common in the Himalayas
to load sheep high up in the mountains
with boraX and then to drive them
down to the plains, where they are
