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 weman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceration, 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 noun tains of gold to suffering women.

A Custom That Can Be Traced Back
 to the Earliest Ages.
 Cremation has been practiced by most of the nations of the earth from the earliest ages, and. although in pa- gan countries 1t may have taken the form of fire worshiping, there can be no Goubt that its adoption by the an- clients was for the most part prompt ed by other than religions reasons Greeks ascribe its introduction to Her cules, who, having sworn to transmit the body of Argus to his father. thought this the most convenient way of fulfilling his promise. According to Homer. the burning of the dead was common practice among the Greeks long before the Trojan war. but the earliest record of 1t is among the Scythians, who inhabited the vast re- zion known under the name of Tar tary. Slender accounts handed down concerning the manners of some of the ancient natives of Hindustan also al ludesto the custom. The idea of puri- fication by fire was in all ages univer sal, and with good reason Some be- .ieyed that the body was unclean after the departure of the soul, and it was therefore deemed necessary that it should be purified by fire. Ovid ex- pressed the general opinion of his time when he said that the soul was not completely. separated from the body until the latter was consumed on the pyre The Athenians invariably after a battle burned the slain.

For seed Potatoes.

Experiment shows that the most eco
nomic potato seed is made by cutting
a medium-sized tuber into quarters.
1t also shows that larger pieces OF
seed potatoes will produce a very much
heavier yield, as the young plant has
more nourishment to begin with; un-
der field conditions, however, the me-
dium-sized tuber cut In quarters Is
the best and most economical. If this
can not be done, spread the seed out
in thin layer in cool. dark place,
and they may be used at any time
within ten days after cutting without
appreciable loss. Never sack or bar
rel the cut seed, nor expose 1t to the
hot sun.

MARRY AND ENJOY LONG LIFE.
DR.. jacques BertiIIOn's Advice Is
Backed UP by Statistics,

DIR. jacques BertiIIOn's Advice Is
Backed Up by Statistics.
On the subject of matrimony, DR..
Jacques Bertillon, the French statistic
ian, differs in his advice from Punch,
which summed UP its counsel to those
about to marry in the one word
"Don't!" DR.. Bertillon, on the con-
trary, explains his reasons for believ-
ing that marriage and longevity go
hand in hand.
He calls in the aid of statistics to
prove his contention that married
man or woman has three times as
much chance to attain a ripe old age
as bachelor or a spinster; and with
regard to men he shows that the NOR
tality among widowers is greater than
among married men, the New York
Sun London correspondent says. DR..
Bertillon says that his father went
thoroughly into the question and OBJ
tanned statistics from other European
countries which completely support
this opinion, while he himself has
studied later figures in France. So his
advice to young men runs:
Marry; you will do well even from
a selfish standpoint But watch care
fully over your wife's health, as even
from this egotistical point of view her
loss will be a terrible misfortune, for
your life depends in a great measure
on her own"
Addressing himself to young women
he says:
ITO you | give the counsel to marry
| in your most selfish interest, as mar
ried women have less mortality than
spinsters of the same age, at least after
the age of 20; but the difference is less
for women than for men. The mortal
ity among spinsters is much greater
than among married women, but it is
not twice as great, as in the case Of
men"
Dr. Bertillon does not take a cheer
full view of the lot of the widow He
says:
"The mortality among widows is
| distinctly much greater than among
married women Of the same age. The
sweet state of widowhood,' is, on the
contrary, fatal to young widows. Their
death rate from 20 to 25 years of age is
twice that of married women at the
corresponding age"
He gives the reason why matrimony
conduces to longevity thus:
Married people lead a more regular
| life. They are more surrounded and
therefore more controlled, discreet
though this control may be, and it
must be discreet if it is to be useful.
Their physical life, like their moral
life, is healthier, quieter, more nat
ural."
In the French statistics of one year
which Dr. Bertillon has selected the
deaths in a thousand men among
bachelors between the ages of 35 and
40, were nineteen, while those Of mar
ried men were only eight. Between
the age Of 55 and so, the figures were
forty-one for the former and twenty
three for the latter.
With women the mortality was
twelve to eight, between 35 and 40,
and twenty-four and eighteen between
55 and 60. The death rates among
widows and divorces were respective
ly twelve and twenty-one women a
thousand.
