Mrs. Saville walked to her special

But she Is silly, too, with her high

judgment and prejudices Of the world

pie. Yet 1t is impossible to doubt her
sincerity; and sne is common-sensical

she desired that Miss Desmond should
be sent to her.

trouble public so you may publish
this letter. Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
R.F D., ,Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
.cine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it 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.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
fains of gold - to suffering women.

OLD BOOKS FOR CHILDREN

Horn to Protect Lettering From
Dirty Fingers.

The earliest English book for chill.
dren was "The Babies Book, or a
Lyttl Report of How Young People
Should Behave" The horn books ex-
listed in EliZabeth's reign. The writ.
ing was covered with sheet of horn
in order to protect the lettering from
contact with dirty fingers.
The chap book contained most of
the familiar nursery rhymes and sto-
ries which have appertained to nurs-
cry lore for generations. They exhibit
very crude woodcuts, often daubed
with inappropriate color, and the
commonest paper as a rule was used.
They were hawked about by the chap
men or pedler and cost only a few
pence apiece
They served to perpetuate such IA
miliar ditties as Sing a Song of Six
pence" which dates from the six
teenth century; Three Blind Mice"
in use, with music, in 1609 1.-THE
Frog and the Mouse" in existence in
1880; and Girls and Boys Come Out

A few of what were called battle
dore books" have been handed down

which were folded up into oblong
pocked shaped pieces. These taught
reading and numerals in the dame
schools in town and country. The lit.
tie gilt books, as they were called,
adorned on the outside with gilt Dutch
paper colored flowers, were much
priced gift books of that period.
According to the Queen, children
were employed coloring such picture
books by hand, one child doing all the
red in the series of illustrations, an
other all the blue, and so on. OF
course they gained precision by repe
tition, but we very often find the tints

insists that everyone under his roof

cially Charles.
Recently, however, Charles reached

cob gave him a blessing.
"I have no longer any authority
over you." he said; "now that you are

therefore, Charles returned home at

CHILDREN WITH SAME NAME
Three Small Youngsters PerpIexed at
Old Gentleman's Remark Until
He Explains.

There were once three children
whose names were Elizabeth Dorothy

brother. One day an old gentleman
a friend of their motber's-came to
see them and when he had asked their
names he said:
We'll. we'll; so you all have the
same name"
"Oh. no." explained Elizabeth, who
thought the old gentleman must be
little deaf. Il am Elizabeth. my sister
is Dorothy and my brother is Theo-
dore"
And those names mean just the
same thing!" explained the old gentle
man. Theodore In Greek means gift
of God Dorothy is the same name
with the last syllable first and the first
syllable last. And Elizabeth means
gift of God in Hebrew. But you all
seem to be unusually nice children I
think you quite deserve your names"

One RECORD Made bv Women,

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands Of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of preven-
tion of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
Of the rich to the homes of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign of
lectures to women will be carried on
in all parts of the United States.
