MIDDLE LIFE
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to MANY
Dread Diseases-InteIIlgent Women Prepare

The "change of life" is
the most critical period
Of y woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
Is not without reason.
Every woman who

health at this time in
viteS disease and pain.
When her system is in

or she is predisposed to
Rpoplexy, or congestion
OF any organ, the ten

time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.

P.int In Military Etlqnstte.

It has always been a moot point in
Austria as to how an officer ought to
salute a brother officer when he has a
lady on his arm. This delicate point,
however, has now been settled by the
issue of an official army order. In
future, If the lady is taking the arm
of the officer, then he can, and must
give the salute with his left. But If,
as a faYorite custom is, the officer Is
taking the lady under the arm, he
has to disengage himself and salute
regularly with his right.

Unissued MedalS.

One Of the most interesting features
of the, little known museum at the
Royal Mint, which has recently been
entirely reorganized, is the collection
Of medals which have never been IS
sued. One of these is a Waterloo
medal in silver, which is much larger
than the design finally approved. An
other is West African medal with the
bar for pawklta, which was bestowed
in 1897 upon only fifteen officers and
men.-London Tit-Bits.

OF the late well-beloVed King Of

round, among which the following Is
not the least curious. Ii was during

loved to wander unattended about the
streets, found himself one day In an
alley where was row OF modest
t2arouk vendors shops. The king
was recognized, and stopped to gaze
at tasselled pair of the quaint foot
gear, upon which the humble maker
fastened to take them from the win

And when. in his turn, the king offer

quick movement of my horse re,
called me TO consciousness, and l saw
that two hOrsemen were approaching.
They had just appeared over low
ridge of sand hills that lay across the
trail leading to the upper ranges along
the river.
They came toward me at the easy,

But perhaps l should have paid lit
tie further heed, and let them pass as
casual visitors riding for strays, had
not the gray locks Of one Of them given
him an appearance of age which his
erect carriage and vigorous face plain
ly belled.
Naturally l kept my curiosity to my.
self, but watched the man closely as
he made the customary inspection of
my herd, then rode on. But that eve
