hams Vegetable Compound is the most successful remedy for all kinds of female troubles, and I feel that I can never praise it enough. ."-MRs. LIZZIE HOLLAND, Noah, Ky.
 The Changeof Life is sthemostcritical period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain.

The Antiquity of Football.

If 1t is not the oldest game in the world football is not far from 1t But it has never been game in which puny nations played. The Greek game was originally called pheninda, or feint1ng, later it was called episkyrus. epikoinos, and lastly harpaston, under which name it came to resemble football. The Roman game was follis and was less rough. There was a center runner in 'harpeston, around whom the game was fought out. One side was given the ball; the other side chose a center. The side with the ball stood some distance back from a line on which the center runner was posted, and at signal the ball was thrown past the middle man. Players could be held back from secur- ing the ball in any way. though the Greek youths had no rush formation, never seeming to have learned the val ue of team work.-Outng.

East Indian Muslin Test.

A Madras physician was buying muslin for a turban in a department store:
 "NQne of this is fine enough" he said. "In the turban I have on there are forty yards. But forty yards of this would give me a head like a sara toga trunk.
 Indian muslin is very, very fine. It must be fine enough to disappear if it is to pass our Al test. The test is this: The muslin is spread on grass overnight. In the morning, when ev- erything is dew drenched, if the mus lin isn't practically Identical with the dewy gossamer covering the lawns-in other words, if it isn't invisible-it is discarded and must be sold as sec onds.'

A sugEesttye Sermon.

The Rev. Dr. Howard. chaplain to Princess Augusta, was so fond of good living that he ran into debt with many of the tradesmep in his parish. It was in their special interests that he one day preached from the text, Have pa tience, and I will pay you all."

To Sleep Like . Top.

To 'sleep like a top' has probably a very different origin from that which appears. Top is thought to be a cor ruption of the French taupe, or mole. This interpretation is far more in ac cordance with the idea usually con- veyed-that of a prolonged, undisturb- ed sleep like that of a mole in winter rather than the short, enduring SC called sleep" of top when it re wolves on its axis with a gentle, hum ming sound

Katherine Clemmons Gouldrswon her euit for separation from Howard Gould and was awarded alimony of nearly 9100 a day-that is, $36,O00 a year. As his income is approximately $75o. 900 a year. of which he never expends more than one-third, the alimony does not seem excessive-rather the reverse in fact-aEd it's payment will not impov- er1sh him and should not even embar- rass him in the least 1f7
 The court acquitted her of the charge of .gross and habitual intoxieation'' and also of undue indulgence in in- toxicatihg Hquor." Upon these charges, Che affirmative evidence H was so strongly contradicted that itodid not prevail with the court. It is fairly evident, however, that although Mrs. Gould did not unduly indulge in in- toxfcating liquors and wines. she may have consumed more than does the average woman of the so-cal1ed middle classes. Indeed, it is probable that the very wealthy, both men and wo- mer. consume more intoxicants than do the middle classes, or perhaps any class.

doll.

the gate. Without waiting to unhitch
