A SURGICAL
OPERATION
If there is any one thing that a
woman dreads more than another it
is a surgical operation.
We can state -without fear of a
contradiction that there are hun
dreds, yes, thousands, of operations
performed upon women in our hos
pitals which are entirely unneces
sary and many have been avoided by
LYDIA E, PINKHAM’S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
For proof of this statement read
the following letters.
Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman,
Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ For eight years I suffered from the
most severe form of female troubles and
was told that an operation was my only
hope of recovery. I wrote-Mrs. Pinkham
for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and it has saved
my life and made mo a well woman.”
Mrs. Arthur It. House, of Church
Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes:
“I feel it is my duty to let people
know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done for me. I
Buffered from female troubles, and last
March my physician decided that an
operation was necessary. My husband
objected, and urged mo to try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
and to-day I am well and strong.”

Ingenious Johnnie.
From the Delineator.
Mother had a bright red apple which
she wished to give to the children, at
the same time teaching the little broth
er a lesson !n generosity. Johnnie had
a peculiar fondness for apples.
Calling hint to her side, she said:
“Now, dear, mamma has a nice, rosy
apple to give you, and she wants you
to be generous.” That word was not in
Johnnie’s vocabulary, so he said,
“Mamma, what do you mean by being
generous?”
"Oh dear, that means you are to
divide the apple Into two parts, and
give sister the larger.”
Johnnie was silent. Suddenly his face
brightened, as he handed the apple
again to his mother, saying, “Mamma,
give it to sister and tell her to be gen
erous.”

Genuine Indifference.
From the New York Tribune.
"Jack" Abernethy. the Rough Rider,
can catch a wolf alive by grabbing Its
lower jaw with his bare hand.
Mr. Abernethy, on his last visit to
Washington, was asked by a reporter
for his opinion on a certain political
question.
"I can’t give you an opinion on that
question,” the Rough Rider replied,
"because it’s a question I pay no atten
tion to. I am indifferent to it—as in
different as the backwoodsman’s wife.
“That lady, you know, looked on
while her husband had a fierce hand

it was ‘the only fight she ever saw
where she didn't care who won.”

A Competent Witness.
Justice Maule is regarded as the lead
ing judicial wit in England. He had
doubts as to the credibility of a wit
ness on one occasion, and the man de
clared that he had been “wedded to the
truth” from infancy, says the London
Tatler.
"That may be," said Judge Maule,
"but the question is. how long have you
been divorced?”
A little girl was a witness before him.
and he proceeded to ascertain whether
she knew the nature of an oath. The
child, in answer to questions, said she
would go to heaven if she told the
truth, but would go to the other place
if she told lies.
"Are you sure of that, my dear?”
Justice Maule asked.
"Yes, sir; quite sure.”
"Let. her be sworn." said the court;
“she knows more than I do.”

"He was poor himself," said a broker.
“That is why he is now kind to the

"In Mexico City he once pointed to

HOW BEECHER GOT EVEN.
Made a Woman Who Slammed a Door
in His Face Wish She Hadn’t.
Two preachers not long ago were dis
cussing .the men who have been shin
ing lights of the metropolitan pulpits,
and as a matter of course Henry Ward
Beecher led the procession of reminis
cences.
"Beecher was never a conspicuous
example of a preacher and pastor com
bined,” said one of the men. "He made
the preaching end of the week his
chief concern, and left the flock to be
pastorlzed by his assistants.
"But once in a while he would de
cide that he owed It to his parishioners
to make a round of calls. He himself
told me the following story of an In
cident which had occurred on one of
these expeditions.
"He had made out a list of names,
had got the addresses from the church
directory—perhaps an old one—and was
taking them in their most convenient
order. This brought him to a house in
which, according to his list, lived a
Mrs. B-.
“It was a very modest house, and
when Mr. Beecher rang the bell he had
to wait some time for a response.
When this did come It was a very irri
tated one in the person of a woman,
who was evidently just from the wash
tub.
“ 'Is Mrs. B-in?’ asked Mr.
Beecher in his bc-st manner.
“ ‘Don't live here!’ snapped the wo
man, and slammed the door in his
face.
"Mr. Beech°r waited quietly on the
doorstep unt the woman had certain
ly had time 1 < go back to the basement
and to resume her washing. Then lie
rang the bell. After a while the door
was again opened by the sudsy female.
“ ‘Who said she did!’ exclaimed Mr.
Beecher, and went down the steps and
off up the street.
" ‘And I’m Inclined to think, he
chuckled, as he told the story, ‘that
woman will treat a civil question bet
ter the next time she meets one.' ”
Let Something Good Be Said.
When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall; In
stead
Or words of blame, or jiroof of thus and
so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that r o fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears Is
wet
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorifleu.
If something good be said.
And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown
Anil by the cross oil which the Saviour
bled,
And by your own soul's hope of fair re
nown.
Let something good be said.

Ready for the Dollar.
From the Delineator.
Marjorie, aged 9, had not been hav
ing very satisfactory reports from
school. Her father finally said, “Mar
jorie, for the first hundred you get I’ll
give you a dollar.” Time went on and
the reward could not be claimed. One
day the child was taken violently ill.
Her mother sent for the doctor. When
he had gone Marjorie said, “Mamma,
am 1 very ill?"
“No, dear; your temperature is a lit
tle over a hundred, but the doctor
thinks you will be all right in a day
or so."
Smiles broke through Marjorie’s
tears.
"Now, mamma, I can have my dol

me if 1 could get a hundred in any

The Dreamer.
The dreamer dreamed, and the busy
world
Passed by with a mocking smile.
As It went in search of.the world’s rc*
wards,
But the dreamer dreamed the while.
He saw the world as the world should b«
When longer years had run.
And the world but paused in Its work to
ask:
“Pray, what has the dreamer done?”
Yet ever the dreamer dreamed his dream,
Until, in some wondrous way—
As the water, springing in deeps of earth
Finds passages to upper day—
The dreamer’s dream found the man of
power—
’Tis strange how men’s lives are knit—
Who knew not the dreamer, but took hia
dream
And transformed the world with It.
The world bows down to the man of
power—
Forgotten the dreamer dies.
Yet the dream he dreamed is the secret
force
That lias forged men’s destinies.

The Smell of Cities.
The man with a nose always recog
nizes the smell of any place. He has
only at land at Calais to smell garlic.
London’s smell—when the Londoner
returns—is just soot and fried fish.
Paris always smells of chocolate and
wood-smoke. Florence Is violets and
sewage. But so soon as you get to
Russia the smell Is quite different.
Moscow, the city of fruit, that comes
from the Crimea, has a special smell of
the cranberry (which has various
names) in late summer. And you can
not land In St. Petersburg without no
ticing—instantly—the smell of the
place.
On the last visit to St. Petersburg a
young man was driving with a young
Englishwoman to the hotel.
"Have you noticed the smell of the
city?” he asked, having wondered long
what the mysterious perfume was.
"Why. yes," was the answer, "it's old
boots.”
And SI. Petersburg follows you with
the smell of ancient leather, as Sitting
bourne and Faversham, England, keep
their memory In the mind of the man
who has smelt their brick fields.
Why Southern Illinois Is Called Egypl
From the Albion Journal.
The year 1824 was very wet. Heavy
rains fell frequently. Corn on flat lands
was a total failure. This year the
weevil destroyed the wheat after It was
harvested. The next year, 1825, there
was a remarkable growth of thistles
on the branch bottoms. The winter ol
1830-31 was known as the winter ol
deep snow. The snow was of a depth
of from two and a half to three feet
on a level. It drifted much and was
very destructive to fruit trees. The
weather was Intensely hot. Both In
1831 and 1832 the early frosts so Injured
the corn as to entirely render It worth
less for almost any purpose.
During the years between and Includ
ing 1824-32, so nearly corresponding to
the years of famine In the days ol
Pharaoh and his ruler, os he made Jo
seph to be, the people of Illinois, de
pendent upon the southern part of the
state for so much grain, particularly
corn, that people In remembrance ol
the bible story began to call the part
of the state which had been so helpful
In time of need Egypt.

SIMPLE METHODS TO
IMPROVE COMPLEXION
Parisiennes Eat Oranges All
Day and Wash in Juice—
Rub Face With Oil.
■—
If you cannot ciuluro herb teas or
sulphur and molasses, try oranges for
your spring medicine. Fashionable
Parisiennes have gone crazy on or
anges. They are the first thing they
jeat In tho morning, and the last thing
ilhey take at night. Then. In addition |
to eating them all day long, they cut
'them up In slices, let them stand In
water over night and use the liquid as
a face wash. Its action Is very
strengthening and It makes the skin
white and takes off tan, to which the
Pnrlstenne has a great objection.
Then pure castor oil Is rubbed Into
the skin. The high priestess who has
spent her life In acquiring the secrets
of the fountain of youth will not tell
you that she uses castor oil. She will
call It a wonderful beauty elixir or as
sure you that It Is a priceless potion
known only to the favorites of the
sultan of Turkey.
But the truth Is that the basis of :
the treatment of the most successful j
.beauty specialists in Paris today la |
nothing more or less than castor oil. i
It must be very pure, and when rubbed
Into the face In very Bmall quantities
Us effects are magical.
Most beauty specialists have a cream
of their own preparation containing
cleansing properties, and when this is
rubbed lightly onto the face and then
rubbed off again It Is positively black
with the Impurities of the Bkln.
No woman who cares for her per
sonal appearance washes her face In
pure water, nor does she use soap. She j
employs "sachets de toillette," which,
when put Into water and squeezed, give
It a milky hue. The "sachets” correct
ithe hurtful qualities In the water.

READING IN BED.
Sometimes Has Beneficial Effect on
Over Wakeful Brain.
From the Family Doctor.
Reading In bed. like most luxuries,
can be overdone. In fact there seems to
be only one excuse for this fascinating
way of ending the day. Certain people
find that their worries accumulate In
their brains after bedtime; their nerves
are at high tension and their minds are
actively at work trying to solve prob
lems that should have been left behind
In the city.
Going to bed with the brain In such a
state means that with nothing to dis
tract the thoughts, hearing nothing and
seeing nothing In the darkness Imagina
tion has full sway and hours of wake
fulness may be the result. Such a man,
we think, will find half an hour's read
ing in bed a great help.
With earelul attention paid to the
quality and position of the light so that
without flickering It shines over the
shoulder and directly on to the page
the much maligned habit of reading In
bed has sometimes a very beneficial ef
fect on a tired and over-wakeful brain.
A Cheap Homemade Barometer.
A weather man described the other day
a cheap, home made barometer.
He said It was only necessary to take a
piece of string about ID Inches long, and
to soak It several hours In a strong solu
tion of salt and water.
After being dried, the string should have
a light weight tied to one end, and being
hung up against a wall, a mark being
made to show where the weight reaches.
The barometer is now' complete. It Is as
accurate as a $100 Instrument. The weight
vises for wet weather and fall for fine.

THE KNOWING^ MULES
OF OLD MEXICO
Apparently They Have a Labor
Union to Tell Them What
Constitutes Day’s Work.
"Everybody knows that all mules are
brainy, but thv mules of old Mexico
have something on other mules for q
sort of prescience of their own,” said
a man who has spent many years In
the neighboring republic. “A Mexican
mule will do Just so much work and
not a bit more.
'The riding mule, for Instance, Is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, he Is supposed and required to
traverse In the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks os
goads or dynamlto on earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what ha
knows to be the correct distance. Tho
Mexicans have a peculiar saying In
connection with this characteristic o<
the Mexican mule. You ask a Mexican,
for Instance, how far It Is by mulebacH
to such and such a point.
" 'Two days Journey If you are not
rushed, but three days If you are In q
hurry,' the Mexican will reply.
”Hls meaning Is that If you don’t
ask any more of your mule than you
should ask of him tho mule will be
able to make the trip In two days. But
If you attempt to drive the brute he'll
soldier on you, and In consequence the
Journey will take you three days:
“Now for the prescience of which l
spoke. I don't know what else to call
It. The latest Instance I saw of It was
when I was riding through the state ot
Sonora a month or so ago on nn old
gray mule that knew every turn nnd
twist of the road I was taking so
thoroughly that I let the bridle reins
hang and permitted him to go It alone.
“Along toward evening a terrific
thunder Btorm canto up. The air was
heavy with tho fumes of sulphur--,
something I had heard about but had
never experienced before—and tho
crashes were deafening. The road was
rocky and bad and there was only an
occasional scrub pine alongside.
"The old gray mule when the storm
reached Its height stopped his Jog of
a sudden and stood In tho middle of tho
road, peacefully enough. He wasn’t
worried apparently, but he considered
that that was a pretty good place to
stand during tho continuance of tho
tremendous electrical storm, for It was
out In the open.
“For myself, I wanted to get under
tho shelter of a pine tree about 100
yards ahead of me. But the mulo
couldn't and wouldn't see that. Him for
open, and there ho stood.
“I prodded him with the spurs, but
he merely looked around at me In a
disgusted sort of way. Then I dis
mounted and tried to lead him. Noth
ing doing. He wouldn’t budge.
"So at length, giving In to him that
ho knew more about it than I did, I
wrapped my poncho about my head
and stood at his head, waiting for the
storm to pass. I hadn’t stood by the
mule In that way for more than three
minutes before a saw a couple of balls
of red fire playing around the trunk of
the pine tree that X wanted to get un
der the shelter of. Then there came a
deafening crash, and when I could see
again there was that pine tree
stretched across the road and a good
part of It In kindling wood.
"I suppose maybe that old gray mule
didn't know. I give It to him, anyhow
that he did." _ _

Jacob H. Schlff. on the way to Egypt
on the Caronia, waa criticising In the
smokeroom the tenor singing of a
young man who gave, all by himself,
a little muslcale every night after din
ner.
“With a voice like that,” said Mr.
Schlff, "one Is npt to meet with extra
ordinary experiences.
"I have a friend with a voice like
that, a young broker. For his Christ
mas holidays my friend made a little
tour of New England, visiting many
quaint old houses, many picturesque
churches.
“One Sunday he went to church In
Salem or Gloucester or some such place
and lifted up his tenor voice In the
hymns and responded with a fervor and
force that made the congregation stare.
“Pleased with the attention he at
tracted my friend threw back his head,
puffed out his chest, and, abandoning
the lust vestige of restraint, sang with
all his might and main. A high note
was approaching. He collected his
powers to meet It. They were staring
now—well, he wou'd give them some
thing to stare for. What a glorious
thing this congregational singing was!
He must have more of It every Sunday
on his return to New York.
“A heavy hand fell on his shoulder.
He turned with a start and saw ths
sexton, an old, bent man, glowering at
him.
“ 'Here, young feller, hold your
noise!' said the sexton In a wheezy
whisper, audible all over the building.
'We pay people to do that here!”

* “Our Barbarous Fourth.”
Mrs. Isaac I>. Rice makes out a strong
case against “Our Barbarous Fourth” In
her destructive and constructive discus
sion of the national holiday’s abuse and
possibilities In the Juno Century. Figures,
she says, show that during the celebra
tion of five national birthdays, from 190(1
to 1907 Inclusive, 1,153 persons were killed
and 21,530 were Injured! Of the Injured
83 suffered total, and 339 partial, blind
ness; 308 persons lost arms, legs or hands,
and 1,067 lost one or more fingers. But
these figures, startling as they are. con
vey only a faint Idea of the suffering, both
physical and mental, which went to swell
the total cost of these five holidays; In
this we must also Include the weeks and
often months of anguish of the Injured,
the suspense of entire families while the
fate of some loved one hung In the bal
ance, the horror of a future of sightless
years, the pinching poverty now the lot
of many because of the death or maim
