WORKED IN SILK FACTORIES.

Miss Fanny Cochran, a graduate of .Bryn Mawr, and Miss Florence Sanville, graduate of Bowdern col lege in Pennsylvania, have just re- turned to Philadelphia from six weeks tour of the silk factories, in which time they worked in Is diff ferent factories. The work was done in the interest of the child labor bill under the auspices of the Consumers league. They found some of the factories very we'll taken care of and others in which the conditions were unsanitary and the tendencies im- moral. They had no difficulty in getting work, and in plain clothes performed the duties assigned them.

PENALTY OF RICHES.

"I'm going to take lunch with me-" said the girl who was going south. "It's the stylish thing to do now. Besides, think of starting out and paying the buffet rates for things to eat for two solid days! It takes millionaire to do that. Did l ever tell you about that young millionaire I saw eating quail on toast one morning in buffet car while 1 was ordering the cheapest things I could find on the card, and they weren't so darned cheap? We'll, they took him off the car the next day nearly dead with ptomaine poi soning. The quail had been on ice for a thousand years. New York Press.

PLANS AIR TEAM OF EAGLES
French Sculptor Seeks Companion for Freak Ride He Has In Con-
 temptation.

And now, anent flying machines, one Georges Lorin, a Frenchmah, proposes to make a flight in a chariot, supported and drawn through the atmosphere by flock of trained eagles.
 He intends-to hear him tell it. to make a journey with his team of birds from the top of the Eiffel tower, with the hope in his breast of reaching Calais in time for dinner. He is in the market for twenty or thirty more eagles to complete his team, and claims he can readily train them so as to drive them in any direction as easily as guiding a horse by word of command. He of- fers to take as a passenger anyone willing to take the chance and hav- ing a desire for a novel ride.
 eGorges Lorin is a sculptor. This may account for his great faith in eagles, to some extent, but it seems more reasonable to suppose that the absinthe habit is materially increas- ing in that trapped land of France.

TAKE VACATIONS IN WINTER
Business Men Are No Longer Gen. fining Their Holidays to the
 Summer Months.

Yearly the number of persons taking winter holidays increases. Time was when only the wealthy took vacations other than in the good old summer time, but now sensible men and women in comparatively modest walks of life realize the wie~ dom of a midwinter rest and insist on having it. This applies as novelty only to this country. Euro peans long have been addicted to winter trips, especially Englishmen, glad to get away from the fogs of their own country to the dry cold of Switzerland or the sunshine of Italy. Now Americans have adopted the habit. Thousands of New Workers go to Lakewood, Asheville, Aiken, Palm Beach and other resorts, not for fashion, but for recreation. Most of them slip away soon after the Christmas holidays or about the lat ter part of January. They let busi- ness and social affairs slide and relax completely. As a rule, they golf. Occasionally they tennis and ride. It matters little what they do, provided they make the most of that highly sensible thing, a winter vacation.

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED. ,Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years 1t has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, Liberation, local weak nesses. fibroid tumors. irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration. and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclay says, it is worth mOun- tains of gold :" to suffering women.
