Women Who Wear Well.

IL Is astonishing how great change n
few years OF married lie often make I'm
tho appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, tho charm, the
brilliance vanish like tho bloom from
peach which is rudcly handled. Tho
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There arc two
reasons for this change. Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riago and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robblng the cheek
OF It's freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

USEFUL LIGHT REFLECTOR.
Makes IL Convenient for the Piano
Player to Read Music.

Piano players frequently complain
OF the impossibility of procuring the
proper light to read the notes OF the
music while performing. In most
cases the piano Is placed in a cor
ner of the room far from the gas
light. Naturally there Is no method
of bringing the light close to the
performer except by the use of a
lamp. Even when the latter Is
placed on the top of the piano the
light naturally does not benefit the
performer, as it acts as a glare to

OUR FINANCIAL sAvIoRs

The Minneapolis Tribune justly says that the real saviors of the country in this time of financial stress have been "the great majority of the sane and calm Americans, whose accumulated money makes up the mass of deposits in the banks.n
 The Tribune truly says that "in finance and business, as in politics, the reliance of the country is on the funda- mental reason and high average intelli- gence of the American people. These do not understand the science of bank ing and the complicated laws of polit- ieal economy.
 "But they have firm, broad grasp of the large truth that the business of the country is done on the sound loan of bank funds, made up of millions of individual deposits; that these deposits are of use to their owners only when employed, and that to remove them from legitimate employment on good security would be to undermine the foundations of the prosperity of all. "The millions of clear-headed and right-minded Americans who have con. tributed their dollars to sustain the fab ric of business by leaving them in se- cure and fruitful employment have done far more to save the situation, now clearing everywhere, than the few men who have brought their millions from bank vaults to lend them where money is most needed"
 This is giving the credit where the credit is rightly due. It is not the small depositor who is as a rule the dread of bankers. The first to withdraw their deposits are those with the large ac- counts, whose surplus funds mounts into the thousands. The first to whisper doubts and to manufacture and catch rumors is not "the average man," but either the shark, who hopes to profit by disaster, or the business man whose vo- cabulary exceeds his mentality.
 In 1893 men of large fortunes hid mil lions of dollars in safety deposit vaults It was not exceptional to find a man who had $1OO,0OO or more thus stored away, and he gloried, too, in his shrewd- ness and foresight.
 The mainstay of the country in times of stress whether political or financial are primarily the men on the farms and in small communities far removed from the maddening crowd, whose saw ings in the country banks and whose products are the great financial reserve, and whose dispassionate brains are the great mental reserve. These are indeed the saviors of their country, and for tunate is the section in which they are of the majority.
