Did It evor occur to you Hint nearly all fireproof mtlldlngs aro heavily In sured? As long m tho newspapers conUnuo to call tho legislators solons, they'll think they aro worth moro money. Mario Corel!! Is pleading hard for the slmplo life. Let's begin by not reading any moro of Murlo's writings. Homo mon possess so much wisdom that they aro unable to lay their hands on a certain brand In tima to utllizo tt It Is posslblo for any man to be como a millionaire In this country with tho posslblo exception of your self. Why is It that tho man whoso love letters aro published or about to be published or to bo read in court is al ways an old man? Tho Mikado appears to be so little disturbed over It that for half a yen he would Invito tho Oar to his annual cherry gardon party. War has lost many of its horrors, but it will not bo pleasing as long as Alfred Austin continues to wrlto these awful poems about It. Trust-bursting has found its way into tho South. Tho people of North Carolina propose to pitch in and knock tho tar out of tho turpentine octopus. That Now York doctor who thinks women are less graceful than men hns probably been confining his observa tions to women who wear French heels. A girl who has repeatedly declared for several years that sho never would marry has Just married, probably In order to exercise tho womanly privi lege of changing her mind. Mormon apostles are now charged with using church funds for building homes for their plural wives. Even that 1b a loss risky proposition than trying to keep the plural wives under one roof. A Cambridge professor has discov ered that alcohol Is aparalyzlngagont. How would we ever learn anything If It were not for the scientists? If you flon't believe the Cambridge professor, make a few experiments. Somebody has gone snooping around and discovered that one of the men who loudly protested against the ac ceptance of Mr. Rockefeller's money, on tho ground that it was tainted, owns a building which is used partly for saloon purposes. How spiteful somo peoplo are. That Kansas City boy who length ened himself two Inches by machinery In order to be eligible for a naval on- detshlp can do much better than to go Into the navy. Let him start ah "elon- gatory," and chargo an adequate price for ovory Inch he adds to tho stature ff undersized but ambitious masculinl- y. Senor Manuel do Azplroz, tho Mexl tan ambassador at Washington, who ecently died, was Judge advocate of Iho military courts which condemned !ho Emperor Maximilian to death. Haxlmilian was a brother of the pros int Emperor of Austria. Tho Austrian louse novcr forgavo Senor Azpiroz for lis part In tho trial, and his Inter- tourso with tho ambassador of Austria it Washington wos restricted to an exchange of the barest official civili ties. It was because Carthage loved noney moro than It loved country that It was destroyed by Rome, wlrero at that time wealth and personal advan tage were but as dross compared with atrlotlsrn. And when capital prevail ed and had done Its perfect work and people came to rate money before all else Borne fell. It was tho capitalists that ruined Rome. Their great suc cess in amassing wealth finally cor rupted the people and nothing was rated before tho money. Then came the empire (which arrested for a time but could not cure the disease), and finally the rotten mass fell an easy prey to tho barbarians. Let not tho plodding citizen who goes to his trade or profession every day and to church once on Sunday and takes a walk Into the green fields Sun- lay afternoon, getting enough money to keep himself and his family fairly well fed, boused aud clothed and able to keep the children well enough dress ed to go to school, go into the "blues" very timt be reads about a big opera- tor making; $1,000,000 or so at slnglo turn of the market. Beloved brother, not all of theso stories aro truo. Por- , baps n largo mnjorlty of them nre flc- tlons. Operating In Wall street causes much loss of sleop find denies n great ' many men the serenity and content-1 mont of wholesome old ace. And then the tlnio is so short It has long been said that women are tho moro like children, but Dr. Havclock Ellis says that men are tho more Uko apes. It may bo gathered from this that Dr. Havclock Kills Is a man with views and worthy of closo acquaintance. And so he Is. Ho has written a book called "Men and Wom en," In which he shows that a mail is a man down to his thumbs and a wom an Is u woman down to the tip of her toes. Dr. ICIHs loaves llttlo for tho vanity of the male to feed upon. Tho fondly supposed superiority of man over woman Is, according to this new statement of facts, a myth. Tho sexes are so widely different that compari sons, though odious, are Irresistible. 'PlifhfA fu lititvllt ti itinnuitii1k1n nitriltfv of any sort which Is not unlike In tho two sexes. Women even button their garments on (bo other sldo from that adopted by men, and chooso Sunday Instead of Monday as their favorlto day for making away with themselves. So far as laboratory tests go, Dr. El lis says that women are unquestion ably superior in general tactile sensi bility and probably superior In tho dis crimination of tastes, with no advan tage either way In the cose of the other senses. Women have better memories, read more rapidly, bear pain better, recover better from wounds and seri ous Illncss.aro less changed by old ago ma live longer, inirtnormoro, accora- K to tiio same authority, women liavo relatively largoinrains especially m the frontal region. The only thing left in which man is superior Is mus cular strength, And, of course, as long as he has that ho will maintain his supremacy and remain complacent In his vanity. Where Is tho need of argument so long as might Is all on one side? Women, In short, are moro civilized than men, and civilization it self Is but tho process of making tho world ladylike. It Is possible that society will, some time, wake up to tho advisability and necessity of adding at least two mxro species of high crime to the list de serving of capital punishment Society legally slays, more or less scientifical ly, the man who, preniedltatedly and with mollce aforethought, murders tho most vicious and most useless member of society. It is done on tho ground of vengeance, safety, penalty and deter rent to others. But the villain who wrecks a great bank, ruining families, making paupers, spoiling the lives of old and young, robbing honest tollers by the thousand, driving old men to suicide nnd young girls to shameful lives, deliberately and through months of secret rascality, gets a few years m prison. There Is no adequate ven geance, or sofet3', or penalty or deter rent In this case, wherein the wretch perpetrates murder wholesale. But before a Just God, there can be no difference of culpability between ono who murders with a bludgeon and one who murders with, a gamble In wheat So far as society Is concerned, the dif ference is only such as that between the ravages of a mad dog and those of a contagion. Both slay, both aro stamped out as soon as possible. Why not hang bank wreckers? The very life of our nation is tho law respect for, observance and impartial enforce ment of It Tho law must be tho will of the majority, under our form of government Yet how often Is tliat will defeated by bribery and fraud at the elections! Election frauds are at tempts upon national existence. Yet wo aro content to satisfy all consider atlons of vengeance, safety, penalty and deterrent In national murder by Imposing a brief term In prison. It must seem to heathen like the Chi nese, for Instance that the highest crime, under our vaunted form of government must be assassination of tho electoral purity. But we treat such murder as a petty offense. Why not hang those guilty of natlonnl mur der? Revolt of American Mnnoori.

Bho Hns Guided Thousands to Health. How Lydiu IS. I'lnkhtim'a Vegetable Cum pound C'tirml Olri. lrrod Srydel. It Is n great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illnobs, uud know that her letter will be seen by a wo man only, u wo man full of sym pathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pink ham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been go ing on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advieo from a woman of such experi ence, especially when It la absolutely free. Mrs. Pinlcham never violates the con fidence of women, and every testimo nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of tho writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited us they have been, Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, l'a., writes: Dear Mro. I'inklinm: " O ver ii year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, ns I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your kind letter of instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in con sequenco, but have a beautiful lmhy girl. I wish every suffering woman in tho land would write you for advice, as yon have done BOi much for mo." Just as surely as Mrs. Seydol was cured, will Lydia E. I'inkhnin's Vegetable Compound euro every woman suffering from any form of female ills. No other medicine in nil the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia 13. l'inkhum's Vegetable Compound. I herefore no prudent woman will accept any substi tute winch a druggist may oiler. If you are sick, write Mrs. riukham, Lynn, Mass , for special udvice. It ia free uud always helpful. The hours that even the busy woman gives her children must not be tho 'fag. ends'' of the doy. One cannot hope to gain a place In their 'ves unless one gives them the best of onrsplf. The chief point is nev- r to be ' tired" when ycu are with your children. It h a difficult task, out yiu will live to rcRret it in their merciless criticism If you grudge the llmo you givo. And so one should never lets nnvihlng interfere with certain hours of companionship rides or walkB or evening talks. However biny one has to be one can fib these n somehow it ono makes up one's mind to do so.

The agonizing Itching aud burning of the skin, us in eczema; the frightful scaling, as In psoriasis: the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as In scallrd head; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf fering of infants, and anxiety of worn- out pn rents, ns in milk crust, tetter and suit rheum all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them.
