How often DOVE hear women say: "It
seems as though my back would break, !"
or Don't speak to me, am all out of
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and " the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,
and Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts it's curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. 1t has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
1t is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.

NUNS FIRST TO POWDER HAIR.
Then Custom Quickly Spread to
Women Of Fashion.


The custom of powdering the hair
dates back as far as the sixteenth
century and was first introduced by
the nuns Id French converts. Those
who had occasion to leave the clois-
ters for any reason we're wont to
powder their hair so as to make 1t APP
pear gray and give them venerable
look. The fashionable danes were
so struck with the novel effect Of
white powder on dark hair that they
soon appropriated the device as one
OF the arts of the worldly toilet. Out
OF this grew the use of tints in the
hair. The Roman women often used
blue powder, and later, in 1860, EN-
press Eugene set the fashion of using
gold powder. Rome under the empire
and Greece during the time of Per
icles were seized with mania for
golden hair. The bellies and tops OF
the day devised several methods
whereby black locks might be-
changed to golden yellow, but bleach.
Ing did not always succeed Conse
quently quite trade was established
with the fair-haired tribes beyond the
Alps, who sold their locks to Latin
merchants to be worn on the heads
OF Roman handles.

eefore the Acc Of Buttons.

Persons who read much of historic
romance cannot fail to recognize the
request, Truss my points" which
has been used by every writer of
English from the time of Chaucer
Perhaps everyone who read the
phrase did not know that it meant
In common parlance, lace up my
clothes" but that is what 1t did mean,
and the reason It ceased to be used
In actual conversation resulted from
the invention of the button and the
passing away Of the custom of fasten-
ing the clothes by lacing.

CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA.

Much Used but Produces Inferior
Kind Of Bread.
The chestnut is the wheat Of Cor
sica, and its -four is used in the form
Of bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island. The chestnuts
are slowly dried over a small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are Of the sim
plest construction, and consist of
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against a fixed stone.
The cheaper grades of flour are
Of dirty color owing to the pres
ence of particles of the shells and
contain between IL and IL per cent of
moisture. The composition of differ
ent varieties OF the -four has been
determined recently by NJ. Comte,
who finds that chestnut -four closely
approximates wheat -four in it's food
value. II contains about the same
amount of starch, more fat and cellu.
lose, but less heterogeneous substances
q to 8 per cent, as against IL to 16
per cent in wheat -FOUR. Chestnut
-four attracts moisture very rapidly,
and therefore soon becomes mouldy
unless kept in air-tight vessels. 1t
has also the drawback of not being
easily Influenced by the action Of
yeast, and thus produces an inferior
kind of bread.
