MRS HENRY LEE

Owing TO modern methods OF living
not one woman in n thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing n train OF very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system Is in n derunged
condition or she is prcdisposcd TO
apoplexy or congestion OF any organ,
the tendency Is at this peri O d
likely 10 become active and with n
host of nervous irritations make life n
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable TO form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
OF surocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

CHINESE SEVEN AGES.

A French officer, Louis do Chantilly,
tells 10 Paris Gill Bias OF his discovery
in a Buddhist convent in the mountains
of Tonkin of dusty manuscript contain
ing the Chinese version of the seven ages
of man. "At 10 years DID," SAYS the
writer, whose name has been forgot
ten, "the boy has heart and brain as
soft as the tender shoots OF q young BAN
boo. At 20 he Is like green banana; he
is just beginning to ripen in warm rays
of common sense. Thirty years sees him
developed into a buffalo. He is strong
and lusty, full of bodily and mental vigor.
This is the true age of love; the age Tor
him to marry at. At 40 years, the pros
porous man has grown 10 be mandarin
and wears coral button. But 1t would
be truly indiscreet to con6de to him at
this early age any functions calling for
judicial intelligence or calm. When he
reaches so years, however, although ne
has grown stout and 6esby, he is bit to
hold any municipal or state office; he
can administer city or a province or
preform any official duty. But at 6O
wears he is old. Handicrafs and all act
i've bodily activities are beyond him. He
gives his dependents and clients advice.
That is all he is fit for. At 70 he Is
just dry rice straw. He has only one
care; to husband the breath Of life that
is left to him, to preserve 1t, even BY
artificial means. His sons must assume
the care of his estate and the performance
of his duties"

CROSSES ON TREES.

The first case on record in the county
of religious fervor leading a convert into
the police court, came upin Danielson,
Conn, yesterday, when James Oallunis,
o Greek, aged IS years, Has before the
town court charged with cutting Greek
crosses 10 the trees on the highway and
thus wilfully destroying them. Caliunis
who has been In the country but four
months, explained through an interpre-
ter that he found so much trouble aud
wickedness in this country that he
thought by cutting crosses In the trees
where everyone could see them he would
bring about peace and righteousness.
The crosses have been mysteriously APP
pearing on the fine trees along the roads
all about Danielson. The crosses varied
from a foot in length to 20 inches.
Caliunis says he cut them alter dusk
with a Ratchet. There are one or more
of them in front OF nearly every church
in the vicinity while many have been cut
in the cemeteries. The tree warden says
1t will take 20 years for them to become
effaced. Caliunis was held under Sl,-
900 bail for trial.

PHILIPPINES A BURDEN.

The Anti Imperialist League st Boston
on Tuesday made an appeal for action
against "the continued and indefinite
retention of the Philippine Islands"
The appeal says, 10 part; ,,,
"The immense and Improbable burden
Of these possessions has never been iei'
more strongly than today, but IN the
pop,dar apprehension that the United
States might have become involved In
war it is now realized that their defense
would demand an almost impossible mil
itary and naval force on the other side
of II g globe. The absurdity OF an enor-
NOUS sacrifice of life and treasure to de-
fend territory whose relations to the
United States relationship which is
deplored by the great majority OF our
own liberty-loving citizens-hss become
patent. A sale to Japan has been sug-
gested in many quarters as method OF
escaping from the dilemma. But to sell
8. 900, 900 people and their homes to any
one is clearly immoral and contrary TO
American principles. ,
There is one simple, just and practical
method of relief for both countries,
which we urge with renewed emphasis,
viz: A pledge Of early and complete In
dependence to the Philippines, together
with a GENERALIZATION" by all the great
power, including Japan. 1t is clearly
demonstrated that there Is large and
influential class OF educated FlliPinos,
who are able to guide their fellow-citi-
zens in self-government.

THE WEATHER.

There was refreshing rain last night,
accompanied by beautiful electric dis,
play. The cloud formed southwest Of
this city, and for several hours the
heavens were sglOw with lightning,
while the sound of thunder was inces-
SAINT. The clouds were finally waited
over this city and vicinity when cool
ing breeze afforded much relief from the
sweltering conditions which had pre-
vailed during yesterday and the early
portion of last night. The duration OF
the rainfall was brief. but conditions fol-
lowed which rendered sleep more pleas
ant than during the previous night.
People from lower Fairfax county VINO
visited this city today say the rainfall
was heavy. 1t was accompanied by 8
high wind. There was another heavy
rain about l O'Clock this morning.

PASSED THROUGH AN OILED SEA.

PASSED THROUGH AN OILED SEA.
Captain Nader, of the United Fruit
Company's steamer Admiral Farragut,
at Philadelphia from Port Antonio, re-
ported that when 30 miles south OF Dla-
mond Shoal lightship last Saturday the
vessel passed through lake OF oil. The
water as far as the eye could see YVES
as quiet as a millpoud, the oil stretching
10 al directions for miles. AS soon as
the incident was reported agents OF tank
steamers trading to Texas became alarm
ed for fear that enc Of their vessels had
met with disaster, but sll of the steamers
have been accounted for. No sign OF
wreckage was reported by the Admiral
Farragut.
The oil seen off Cape Hattefas shoals
by Captain Nader, OF the steamship
Admiral Farragut, is believed by Gap
tain Jarvis, of the steamer Florida, to
have come from the oil-laden barge
Providence, which WAS sunk near the
outer Diamond shoals last winter. Ii is
thought that ths barge is now beginning
to break up aud that the oil is coming to
The surface of the water. The Florida
had the Providence In tow when she
foundered,
