to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rear
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham, at Lynn.
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female Ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.

CELERY GAINING IN FAVOR.
Grows Best in the Rocky Mountains,
Where It Is Neglected by
Farmers.

Celery is native of Eurone
where 1t has always been much more
used than here, not only in salads
and as a relish, for which it ia still
principally demanded in this country
but as a seasoning for SOUPS and other
dishes and cooked by itself like anv
other vegetable. Its traditional place
on the American table has heretofore
been with the turkey and cranberry
sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and other special feasts, but of recent
years 1t has come into more general
use at all times of the year. while as
one of the ingredients of salad II Is

While it is extremely perishabIe
after it has once been harvested and

eALD-HEADED BRIDEoRooMs
Thsy Are Fine Citizens and II Il No
Wonder the Girls Like
Them.

An esteemed contemporary haa
opened the columns TO discussion OF
the question why do educated and
refined women marry bald-headed
men?" and men with and without hair
seem to be considerably agitated over
It Even women are joining in the
discussion, and there are as many ex-
plantations as there are correspondents.
None Of them, however, explains. SAYS
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
II is the form of the question evil
IDENTIFY that eonfuses. It presumes too
much and the presumption is accept
ed as established by the wrangle-
they do not question the premise.
Educated and refined women do not
as a rule marry bald-headed men.
though they do sometimes, when they
cannot catch them earlier.
The question deals with particulars
as generals. 1t should be: why do
women marry menu" And he answer
to this, IL we do not confuse the is
sue by the citation of examples. of
Wnlch we remark: What on earth
did she see in him?" is simple.
Women marry men to get husbands.
Men marry women to get wives. Fat,
lean, young, old, hirsute and bald. all
marry for the same reason. 1T is not
good for man to live alone"
Anyway, why should the bald mead
be brought into the limelight in This
spectacular way? Is it not conspicu-
Gus enough as it is to attract much I'M
desired attention without forcing the
issue?
Bald-headed men are worthy citi-
zens. They must be, for they are al
ways under inspection. A bald head
is light that cannot be hid under a
bushel, it may not conceal itself. II
1t frolics somewhat gayly, the world
says; Behold you shameless one!"
A bald head must perforce seek vlr-
tuous ways. There are few or no bald
headed villains. They are scarce as
fat beggars.
Let not the finger of scorn be point
ed at the bald head for that he mar
ries a refined and educated woman. /"
1t is to his credit The bald head sets
an example that the hirsutely rich
might emulate with profit. The bald
head is the symbol Of lofty citizen

HENS OF HAWAII FAIL.
Climatic Conditions Said to Be I'm
favorable to the Egg
Supply.

The chickens in Honolulu, for rea-
sons best known to themselves, have
positively refused to lay eggs. AS
consequence good laying hens are
much in demand in San Francisco foK
shipment to the Hawaiian islands.
says the San Francisco Examiner, of
recent date.
Every steamship that leaves for
Honolulu carries a large consignment
of laying hens and the supply is not
equal to the demand. Climatic con-
ditions'' is the excuse put forward for
the failure Of the Honolulu hen to lay.
The middle western states, as we'll as
California, export chickens to the
islands, the yearly. shipment for the
islands averaging 400 carloads of
dressed and 200 carloads of live poul-
try. ~
+, "All the best laying hens that can
be secured in California are shipped
down to Honolulu at the present time"
said commission man. For some
yet undiscovered reason the, hens
raised in the Hawaiian islands are not
good egg producers, and as a result we
have orders to ship all the good lay
ing hens, that,-we can down to the
islands"

THE PASTORAL NAvAJos.
Habits Of This Tribe Of Indians and
Their Homes in the
Southwest

The NavaJos are a pastoral, patri-
archal, semi-nomadic people. Iheir
whole culture and development centers
in their nocks. Their reservation of
1900 square miles is desert. broken
with mountain and mesa. On the mesa
and low mountains there are consider
able areas OF pinon and cedar, and on
the higher mountains a limited area
OF beautiful pine forests, writes (. 5.
Curtis, in Scribner's. Over this region
the Navajos drive their focks. At the
season when the slight rainfall gives
even seant pasturage on The desert
plains, the hocks are pastnred there.
AS the pasturage on the lower levels
Is both burned with the hot, soorching
sun and exhausted with pasturing, the
locks are taken up into the higher
mountains, where there is more moist
ure. Again as the deep winter SHOWS
come on the sheep must be taken down
out Of the mountains to escape them.
During this time they are kept on the
wooded mesa, where there is less
snow, and plentiful supply of wood,
or which there is none on the plains
below. Year in and year out the Nav
a1o foeks are driven back and forth
from plain to mountain-top, mesa and
foothills.
While the Navajo's life is a wander
ing one, he is not what could be called
true nomad. His zone of wander
ing Is limited; on the same grounds
his father and fathers father have
kept their fiocks. The average Nava-
10 could not guide you a distance to
exceed so miles. Last season the
writer had with him two Navajo men
OF middle age, who had lived their
lives within days ride of the mouth
OF Canyon de Chiefly. and this was
the first time they had Travelled lne en-
tire length of the canyon. This seems
strange, from the fact that it is a most
remarkable scenic spot, and the larger
part of the great wealth of Navajo
legendary lore centers in this CANYON.
The Navajo family usually has
three homes, the location of which is
determined by the necessities of their
lie. One is the summer home. where
they grow their small crop of corn and
vegetables. The farming they do In
the narrow sandy washes, where, by
planting to a great depth, they get
sufi1cient moisture to mature the crops.
In few limited areas they have ir-
rigated farms. In Canyon de Chiefly,
which may be termed the garden of
the reservation" there are tiny irri-
gated farms and splendid peach orch
ards.

Call Of the Wild.

Most OF our song birds have three
notes expressive of love, alarm and
Fellowship, says John Burroughs, in
Country Life in America. The latter
call seems to keep them in touch with
one another. l might perhaps add to
this list the scream of distress which
most birds utter when caught by a cat
or a haVk-the voice of uncontrolled
terror sad pain which is nearly the
same an all species-dissonan and
piercing. The other notes and calls
are characteristic, but this last is the
simple screech of common terrified ma
ture.

THE SEISMOGRAPH
INSTRUMENT WHICH TELLS
OF EARTHQUAKES.
Every Movement Of the Earth Is Ac-
curately Recorded at Washington
oface-Record of San Fran
cisco Earthquake.

II science has not as yet discovered
any method by which the coming of
an earthquake can be foretold, il has
perfected a delicate instrument which
with the utmost accuracy tells the
story OF the vibrations when they do
occur. This instrument is the SETS
mograph, and the record which II has
left Of the recent upheaval at San
Francisco has occupied the attention
of scientists since then and drawn the
eyes Of the general public to the in
strument itself, and people are asking
what the seismograph is like and how
1t works.
1t seems wonderful that an instru-
ment located at Washington could be
able to record the earthquake at San
Francisco, but such is the case, in fact
no vibration of the earth surface any
where on the globe, however slight,
goes unnoticed oy this sensitive little
earthquake detective, Up to the time
Of the upheaval which leveled the Pa
cific coast metropolis the delicate
needle of the seismograph had been
tracing long, straight white lines on
the gelatined surface of the record
sheet Wednesday morning, when it
suddenly became agitated at eight
O'Clock 10 minutes and 20 seconds,
and began to make more or less elon-
gated waves. At S:25 O'Clock the
strong waves began, and the recording
needle moved rapidly back and forth
across the sheet Then followed the
most violent waves between 1872 and
1886 o'clock, seyenty-ffth meridian
time, as is shown by the record. At
one time the motion of the needle was
so vigorous that its point went off
the sheet, which it kept in motion by
a clock machine, and the point did not
return to the sheet until there was
secondary lull N the great disturb
ance. Then, when the needle had re-
sumed its tracings, the earth vibra-
lions and waves continued until 1896,
when the agitations ceased.
Each of the lines on the record sheet
represents an hour of time, the move
ment of the sheet keeping time with
the tick of the connected clock. The
units of time are marked on this sheet,
which is covered with gelatine, and
thus the observer is enabled to tell
just when the earthquakes began and
when they ended by the markings
made by the needle point
