fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, some
personally, others by mail. Mrs. Pink
ham is the daughter n-law Of Lydia E.
Pinkham and for twenty-five years
under her direction and since her de.
cease she has been advising sick women
free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women, and every testimon-
ial letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request OF the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as she has been.
Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyce
Street, Chattanooga, Tenn, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Three years ago life looked dark to me-
I had liberation and inflammation of the
female organs and was in serious condition
"My health was completely broken down
and the doctor told me that if | was not OPP
Grated upon l would die within six months.
l told him would have no operation but
would try Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound He tried to influence me against
it but l sent for the medicine that same day
and began to use it faithfully. Within five
DAYS felt relief but was not entirely cured
until used it for some time.
Your medicine is certainly fine. have
induced several friends and neighbois to take
it and l know more than a dozen who had
female troubles and who to-day are as well
and strong as | am from using your Vege-

Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was
cured, will Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound cure every woman
suffering from any form of female ills.
If you arc sick write Mrs. Pinkham
for advice. 1t is free and always help

Pate de foie gras must look to Its
laurels. This delicate food-the en-
larged liver Of goose-has long beeh
considered in a class by itself as an
expensive piece de resistance imported
from abroad. Now New York society
has grown tired of the monotony of
pate de foie gras, and the ingenuity OF
French caterers has been put to the
test to supply a substitute, says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
As a result, the importation of pou-
larde du Mans, or fat hen of LIE Mans,
is growing rapidly. This bird, like
the Strasburg goose, spends the last
three or four months of her life in q

About Eggs.

ABOUT N8BDs
Frog eggs are almost transparent
They are laid In long linked chains, In
stagnant water, and look like uncanny
ropes. Fish eggs are almost transpar-
emit. It is possible to watch the devel-
opment within their filmy walls. An
odd thing about them is that the Try
appear to develop almost wholly from
the albumen. The yolk-sac remains In
tact, and clings as sort OF stomach
after the fry are swimming about; IN
deed, they are nourished by the yoik-sac
throughout the first weeks of existence.
It shrinks and shrinks as it Is gradu-
ally absorbed, until at last it becomes
invisible.
Egg production varies enormously. A
hens capacity is about 400 eggs, divid-
ed pretty evenly through the first three
years of her existence. Other dcmes-
tic fowls lay fewer eggs. Against this,
fish lay from 5000 to 100000 each sea-
son, according to the species. Turtles
lay 1000 year, and live 100 years,
and insects lay, in the course Of few
weeks, anywhere from 800 to 500 eggs
An odd fact regarding turtle. alliga-
tor and crocodile eggs is that that the
young may be cut out Of them several
days before maturity, yet live and
thrive. Further. they go for water In
stantly, and will snap viciously at any
thing that comes near them, or resent,
to the utmost Of their power, an at
tempt to turn them from their chosen
way.

WHOSE FAULT WAS TIT

An H0n0red Race Went Out II
SQualor and DfshOnOr.
The Balcom farm had been In thu
family for four generations The stone
walls had been laid by the hands which
now rested peacefully in the little bury
ing lot in the south corner of the or
chard. The trees had been planted and
the fields cleared by Balloons ever since
the town was settled.
Old Simeon Balloon and his son Da
vid were the last of the stock. David
did not have the sturdiness of his faith
er's family. His rather timid nature
yielded to any strong influence. Hes
easy led for good or evil" his mother
used to say of him.
When he married Clara French and
brought her home to the farm, every
body wondered. She was town-bred
girl, and had worked in a milliner's
shop in the busy season for several
years. She liked hustle and company
and the Balloon farm was four miles
from a village. The wise ones SHOOK
their heads and forebcIed evil.
Clara had not lived at the farm three
months before she hated it, and re
solved to get away from it. She knew
but one way to accomplish her purpose
She harped on the loneliness, the power.
ty and the folly of the farmer. She
praised the life of the town and pic.
tured its profits. Her voice grew shrill
and her nature shrunk to that Of the
nagging woman, as week after week she
worried the two men with her COM
plants and her ambitions
At last the father had paralytic
stroke which left him feeble, and the
weaker son yielded to the wOman's per-
tinacity. The farm was sold by auc-
ton, and the three Balloons took train
for the nearest city-Clara with unmin-
gled joy, David with dazed apprehen-
sion, and the old father with stern,
stoical endurance.
Eleven months dragged themselves
along while the Balloons lived In q
stuhfy back tenement and David looked
for work. When the doctors bill had
reached hundred dollars the old man
died. Not long after David took job
as marker in q billiard saloon at dol
lar a day. Three months he worked
there-his days prolonging themselves
till long after midnight. One night he
came stumbling up the stairs, and for
the first time his wife saw him not him
self.
David's fall was rapid one. All
the ties which bound him to decency
and self-control seemed snapped. The
name Of Balloon, honored so long in the
country where 1t had been known,
meant nothing to the low fellows whom
he now served. His degradation was
soon complete.
Meantime, out on the old hill farm
the seasons of seed-time and harvest
still came and went. The sun rose on
healthful toll and set on wholesome
WEAKNESS. Contentment waited on sum-
mer days and In winter storms. But
the noble traditions of respected race
were slowly forgotten, because there
was none to uphold them. Whose fault
was it?-Youth's Companion.
