Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms rs backache, irregular
and painful periods. displaoements
OF the female organs, pain In the side,
burning, sensation in tho stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dis
illness and sleeplessness.
SECOND The medicine that holds
the record for tho largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydis
e. Pinkhsm's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases Of the female organism ~
nothing else can.
For thirty years 1t has been helping
women TO be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles. infam-
nation of the female organs, weak
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume Of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on fils
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many Of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence Of the value of Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.

Covering Manare.

Farmyard manure should be kept as
sible. The rain-water as it percolates
through the soil has a tendency to
carry the plant food downward and
out of reach of the plants. Conse-
quently an attempt should be made to
delay the downward progress of plant
food instead of assisting it by plowing
the manure in deeply. Then, again.
nitrification is most active near the
surface of the soil and therefore ma
nure kept near the surface is under
most favorable conditions for having
its plant food made available and con-
sequently gives quicker returns. When
heavy application of manure has
been plowed under deeply, it is no
uncommon thing to see Jumps of ma
nure brought to the surface by SUBJ
sequent plowing. showing that it has
never been properly incorporated with
the soil. 1t is quite probable, too, that
this deeply buried manure has lost con-
siderable nitrogen through dentrifica-
ton. Economical manuring consists in
obtaining quick returns over as large
an area of the farm as possible, and
this is accomplished by moderate ap-
plications incorporated with the sur
face of the soil. Shallow covering of
manure also increases the humus of
the surface soil. AS result. the sur
face does not bake or crack in dry
weather; 1t also absorbs and retains
water much more satisfactorily and
works up into fine tilth more easily.

wILHELMINA WHEN A CHILD.

An amusing story is told of Queen
Wilhelmina when she was quite a little
child. Her Majesty was not allowed
TO share dinner with the elder mem
bers of the royal household, but was
permitted to make her appearance at
dessert and place herself beside some
particular favorite. One day she sat
by a courtly old General, and after
eating some fruit the little girl turned
and gazed at him. Presently she ex-
claimed:
II wonder you're not afraid to sit
next to me-"
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound Of her childish treble.
ION the contrary, I am but too
pleased and honored to sit next to my
little Queen" replied the old General
"But why should be afraid?"
Assuming woebegone expression
the little Queen replied:
Because all my dolls have the
measles; they're all down with itv'

ORIENTAL GIRLS COLLEGES.

The Woman's Journal says the
American college for girls in Constan-
tineple is an outgrowth of high school
founded for girls in 1871 by American
women, and was incorporated as col

chusetts. The corporation of the col
iege is legally organized body of
women in the United States, its presi-
dent, Miss Mary Mills Patrick. is an
American, and part Of its support is
drawn from America. English is the
language of the college, but other Ian
guages are taught. This college is the
only one for women in Western Asia,
and its students are drawn from many
countries. Its $50 graduates are from
eleven different nationalities. More
than one-half have engaged in teach
Sng, several have studied professions,
and many are at the head Of cultured
homes. Although the college is
equipped sufficiently to maintain high
standard of academic work, its needs
are urgent, and it appeals to the Amer
lean public for funds, for scholarships,
buildings, etc.

very wide shoulders-so wide, In fact,
that they extend way over onto the up

EMPIRE GOWN AT THE DANCE.

EMPIRE GOWN AT THE DANCE
From the ballroom comes the com
plant that if the young man has a diff
ficulty in finding his partners waist
in these days of empire gowns, he does
not always know how to hold it when
he has found it.
A London debutante lamenting that
the way she was held either forced
her to poke her chin most unbecoming
ly, or, still more unbecomingly, in an
other sense, to rest it on her partners
shoulder, asked her chaperon whether
it was not possible to ask him to hold
her differently. Her chaperOn referred
the difficult point of etiquette to other
chaperOns; there was much cOnsulta
ton, and finally the decision arrived
at was that it was quite impossible
to mention such thing-not so much
from the point of view of propriety as
because nothing made a man so furi
GUS as to suggest that he did not know
how to hold his partner"
That debutante, still suffering, still
unable to dance her best, would like
to know if there Is no way out Of the

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give a Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
600 workingmen, membet of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over $500 a year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear

Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with a punching bag. The

overwhelmed, Inundated, crushed.

millions of times more powerful than

an ounce OF radium would contain
enough power to raise 10000 tons a
mile above the earth's surface. An
other way of stating the same esti-
mate is this: The energy needed to

THE STORY.

OMETHING in the voices issuing
- from the tent caused Caleb to stop
short and listen. He had been wan
dering through the camp, his heart
burdened and troubled by the unhappy
state of the people, for, deaf to the
words of encouragement and cheer
which he and Joshua and Moses had
spoken, they mad refused to believe
aught but evil concerning the prom
ised land. All night long the sound
of weeping was heard and in discon-
solate tones the people talked togeth-
err, so that sleep came to few, save the
children. 1t is not strange that amidst
this distress and commotion Caleb
could not rest and at last he had wan
dered forth aimlessly, going hither
and thither through the camp, and
everywhere he had gone the same dis
tressing scenes and sounds had greet
ed him. Ere he realized it he had
rachel the extreme south edge of the
camp. where the tribes of Reuben,
Simeon and Cad had pitched their
tents. Off to his left as he faced the

those of Manasseh and Benjamin, lay
encamped, and against the dark blue
of the distant horizon he could see the
dim outlines of the sea of tents. Could
it be, he asked himself, that these
people who had come so far and suf-
fered so much were now to refuse to
enter the land which God had prom
ised to give them, and to which he
had SO faithfully led them? Surely
the present distress and fear would
pass and they would follow their lead
ers and take possession of the land.
The night of weeping would end in
brighter outlook in the morning, he
thought.

his eyes swept over the great sea of
tents and at last rested upon the soft,
glowing light which hung like thing
of life in the heavens. He knew it
marked the place of entrance to the
tabernacle court, and that Moses and
Aaron were there, and he wondered
ff they, too, were spending night of
vigil and knew of the mourning in the

SERMONETTE.
Q Authority: Numbers,

Two things in this chapter
command our attention. First,
the tragedy of a lost opportun-
ity; and second, the presump-
ton and folly of attempting to
force an entrance to door
which God has shut. AS we read
this chapter we stand amazed
at the blindness and weakness
of the children of Israel in the
face of so great opportunity, but
here do we not find exemplified
failure that Is all too common
to-day in the Christian expe-
rience? We sit in judgment
upon the rebelIious Hebrews
and declare their conduct mex
plicabIe and inexcusable, even
while we ourselves are refusing
to 90 forward in faith and enter
the great door of opportunity
which God has set before us.
We see the giants of opposition
and persecution, and the walled
cities of difficulty and trial. We
forget Gods power and Gods
faithfuIness, and cry the giants
cannot be overcome, and the
walled cities cannot be over
thrown. We turn from the open
door. Our opportunity is lost.
Then comes the second chap
ter in this sad recital. We
awaken to a consciousness of
the mistake we have made, of
what we have lost, and regard
less of the conscious lack of
Gods presence with US, yea,
often in the face of his warning
voice, we plunge forward, deter
mined by our own will and ef-
fort to recover the lost oppor-
tunity, the lost blessing. Then
comes disaster and defeat, and
1t is only as we in humility and
repentance follow the Lord
through the wilderness of
discipline that we can ever hope
to come again to the place of op-
portunity and blessing.
The promised land of better
things is always worth fighting
for.
1t is true of spiritua. as we'll
as of temporal things that "there
is tide in the affairs of men

flood, leads on to fortune"
Soul within thee, is there
stirring for a better life, which
the voice of self is seeking to
stifle? Is conscience saying:
"YieId to God; follow him?"
While self cries: "Let us choose
another captain. Let us go back
to the Egypt of the old Iife?"
Let faith triumph and lead you
through the open door.
Opportunity does not linger.

Faith is always able to see
ways of victory that unbelief is

The wicked Vaccinations of
the ten spies could delay but not
defeat Gods plan to give the
land of Canaan to Israel, and so
it is always that evil men can
delay but not defeat the coming
of Gods kingdom.
1t took 30 years to rid Israel
of those who hindered her prog
ress, and it takes many a year
sometimes for God to burn the
dross out of the human heart
so as to prepare it to enter his
promised land.
