Preserve Us From Jealousy.

/ have often wondered why the lit.
any did not include prayer for pres.
ervation from jealousy. Undoubtedly
of all the terrors that walk by night
or by MONDAY, jealousy is one of the
most destructive. Jealousy of petty
kind is less common among women
than 1t used to be, though, strangely
enough, it seems to be increasing
among men. Some women are jeal.
GUS of every attribute possessed by
others-beauty, social success, wit,
charm, or character.
Often, too, there is certain type
who love to think that other women
are jealous of her. II Is an obsession
with her. She may be disagreeable,
selfish, conceited, and irritating, yet
1t never occurs to her to attribute her
unpopularity to that cause. Jealousy
and jealousy only, she is firmly con-
WINGED, 1ies at the root of the other
woman's dislikes. This species OF
femininity is happily dying out. The
modern woman of fascination is as
popular with women as with men,
and takes. no delight in arousing jeal.

sex is an important point to gain

USE FOR OLD BLUEPRINTS
BIeached by Simple Process, They
Furnish Sketch Paper of
Fair Grade.

In the engineering department of
every mine Office, blueprints will accu-
lmulate until the quantity has reached
amazing proportions. Some compa-
MES keep record and file of all prints
made and at periodical times destroy
the old ones. In addition to this, says
the Engineering and Mining Journal,
at the time of printing, there is sure
to be a certain waste due to poor ex-
.posures, blotchy paper, etc. A method
for turning this waste into useful
article is presented by e. B. Birken-
bend, in the American Machinist.
These old or useless prints may be
!bleached by immersing them in a soda
bath containing four ounces of soda
to one gallon of water. If 1t is desired
to bleach only a portion of the print,
this may be done by painting that part
with this solution. BY washing the
prints in fresh water, after bleaching,
any discoloration is prevented. The
blank paper thus obtained furnishes
a fair grade of sketch paper, and
there are numerous other uses to
which it could also be put.

DECREE OF CHINESE THRONE
All Repentant Rebels Are Told They
Will Be Forgiven and: Their
Past Buried.

Says Chinese imperial decree
quoted in the North China Daily News,
following disturbances in Szechuan
and Hupeh: "All persons who have
been pressed bodily into service by
the rebels, but who will save them
selves by returning at once, shall be
permitted to turn new leaf without
being questioned as to their past be-
havior, be they soldiers or people.
Whoever shall serve us by killing reb-
els or by capturing and binding mem
bers OF the rebellion party, shall be
rewarded regardless of rules, upon
bringing them before us. Should any
roll call book of the rebels be discov-
cred, let it be instantly burned, and
not the least inquiry be made that
may cause distress.
"Yin Chang, Yuan Shih-kai, Tsen
'Chun-hsuan and Tuan Fang are here
by ordered to make known the
thrones virtuous desire by proclaim
ing 1t along their routes with a view
to carefully condoling with and re-
assuring the people. They are also to
issue proclamations earnestly exhort.
ing the soldiers, the people and others
not to listen to false doctrines or to
repeat what they have heard said,
and not to believe wild rumors and
be vainly inundated.
after the issue of this decree, you
soldiers, people and others viii all
understand clearly what is right and
what is wrong, or, in other words,
what will be to your advantage and
what will be the reverse. You should
each and all be content with your own
lot, for you will thereby second our
desire in quelling the disturbance and
comforting our subjects

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life" is most
critical period In a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason
When her system Is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-.
gestion of some organ At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation OF the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period n life when woman's
great change may be expected
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
CRY should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. 1t
inyigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

the same day that the Declaration of
independence was issued, July 4, a COM
mittee to devise a seal was created.
While present-day Americans have
always been informed by writer's. his
tortans and orators OF the intense
heat of that suspicious Fourth of
July. and that because of the almost
unbearable atmosphere OF the sultry
weather prevailing the delegates as
sembled. hastily debated and quickly
signed the colonial Magma Charter IA
order to get out of the congressional
hall. the facts are that the day was
unusually pleasant and characteristic
of most agreeable summer climate.
This statement, involving as II does
correction of hitherto accepted his
torical material. rests on the author
ity of an entry found among Jeffer-
sons stray notes, an entry never until
now given printed publicity. Innum-
cradle writer's have drawn highly col
ored word pictures of the dreadful and
sitting weather conditions existing on
that memorable day. but we submit
that far more reliance Is to be placed
on the evidence penned by distin-
guished and careful observer who was
present on the occasion in the role of
an active and honorable delegate.
