WOAVaAN'S POW R

The healthy woman; strong men, tally and physically, whose ambi- tion and magnetic influence urge men to deeds of grandeur and hero ism; such women are all-powertuL.
 Weak, sick and ailing women have little ambition; their owntr bles occupy all their thoughts. They dwell upon their pains, suffer from nervousness and headaches; often are extremely melancholy, and avoid society. For thirty years LYDIA E. PIPd dEEHAM'S VEGETABLE COL MPO UND has been saving women from this awful condition.
 Mrs. Louise Jung, of 332 Chestnut St., Detroit, Mich, writes:
 l" suffered from very severe female weakness for a long time. Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, re- stored my health. hope it will do other women as much good as it has me"
 Mrs. Emma Wheaton, of Vienna, w. Va, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I was a walking shadow. My hus- band insisted upon my writing to you and trying Lydia B. Pinlxham's Vege table Compound, which I did. It re leved all my pains and misery, and made of me a very different woman" FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
 For thirty years Lydia K. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- tion, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feel ing, dizziness, or nervous pros tration.

Childhood stands conspicuously in the Bible. More miracles are worked upon children than upon any other one class. Directions are given con corning them. Promises are made to them. Those who cause them to of- fend are threatened. Jesus set a child in the midst of His disciples to teach them humility. He made the child nature the requisite of entrance to His Kingdom. The most radiant pie ture of the New Testament is that of Jesus with a child in His arms

81, Luke.

Tradition says that st. Luke was a
painter. ST. Paul, who knew and loved
him. tells US that he was a doctor. The
scholars OF to-day believe him 20 have
been a Greek slave, and all who read
his gospel know that he was a poet, says
the London Spectator Whether the ira
dition which puts a brush into the hand
Of the Greek physician is trustworthy or
not. St. Luke as a word painter is uu-
surpassed in the history of letters. The
great Italian masters read him Alright.
The first two chapters Of his gospel re-
solve themselves into picture which rep

CHAPTER XVIII.

The sea had gone out a long way, and
between the tiny dlgue and the beach
there stretched a large expanse Of rich.
wet sand, broken here and there by large,
smooth pools which reflected as in mir
TOR the WOhdrOus Opalescent coloring Of
the sky, made inexpressibly glorious by
the sinking Of the hot. tired sun.
At least Katherine felt that it ought to
be tired. it had been shining so ferceIy
for SO many hours.
She sat in low canvas chair on the
sands and watched her two small people
.scampering here and there, absolutely re-
gardless Of fatigue. They had their dain-
ty clothes pinned up carefully. and their
pretty little legs were burnt dark brown.
Betty looked quite tall. especially with
her sunny hair punched on her head.
Every now and then Katherine would
call:

But she said it dreamily. and no one
took any notice
She was spellbound by the marvellous
beauty of the sea and sky As the sun

world was alive with color Fiery streaks

Mans Friend, the whale.

From the Saginaw Courier Herald.
BY all means, preserve the whale He
is one Of the most useful Of the fishes
and is the only one that is known TO
be Of value as q life preserver. History
repeats itself Perhaps the Jonah story
may have to be proven again. How
would you feel If you were tumbled off
tho back end of a ship in mid-ocean. and
knew positively that there were no
whales in existence, and consequently
that there could be none waiting TO carry
YOU safely to shore? 1t is a comfortable
thing to feel now that you have a friend
in the ocean on whom you can rely in
case Of necessity. 1t is necessary TO
look at the matter from the emotional
or sentimental standpoint, for of course
the whale is no longer essential to the
production Of whale oil or whalebone.
In fact. the best and most serviceable
of these varieties come from entirely diff
ferent sources. Those produced by the
whale itself are of a shoddy and un-
satisfactory quality. The whale is not
alive to modern methods Of manufacture.

From the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine
One of the overture stories Of this ses-
sion Of Congress was told in the cloak
Ioom by Senator Nathan B. Scott, Of
West Virginia. whose dramatic mode Of
narration made the tale doubly impress
sive.
1t seems that a judge Of his acquaint-
ance had a very charming wife. but she
was overneat and was forever brushing
microscopic dust from his clothes; still,
all went well until she started on the
"hair hunt" After that she never sat
beside her husband for five minutes but
she perceived a hair Of some sort on his
clothing. and hastened TO remove it, be ii
hair of dog. cat. or human being
About this time there came 10 the town
long-haired lady, possibly one Of the
Sutherland sisters. who sat in state at
one Of the principal hotels, daily exhibit

judge crossed his arms and was evidently
