Nk-.Lai ii . v. - u LOVES THt PRAIRIES. Mrs. Hutjhson, of Chicago, whose LI (letter follows, is ' another woman- in high 'position who owes her health to the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ! "Dear Mrs. Pink ham: I suffered for (several years -with general weakness and bearing: -down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appe tite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one can descrile the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and jtoison out of niv lK)dy, and made me feel as epry and active as a young girl. Mrs. Pinkham's medicines are certainly all they nre claimed to be." Mas. M. E. IIuohwn, 347 East Ohio St., Chicago, 111. Mrs. J'inkham TVlIs How Ordinary Tfasks Produce Displacements. i Apparently trifling incidents in woman's daily life frequently produce displacement of the womb. A slip on the stairs, lifting during menstruation, standing at a counter, running a sewing machine, or attending to the mo&t ordinary tasks may remit in displacement, mid a train of serioiisevils is started. The. first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick actum. Don't let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that vou can overcome it br exe.rc'mo or leaving it alone. More than a million women have regained health by the use of I,ydla I'-. Pinkliuin's Vegetable Compound. If thp slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write, to Mrs. I'inkham, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice, and a lew tiinHy words from her will show you the right thing to do. this advice costs vou nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington St., Kingston, Ont., writes: "Dear Mns. Pixkham: You are indeed a godsend to women, and if they all knew what ynu could do for them, there would le no need or Uietr dragging out unset aim; men m iin'oij. , "I Buffered for years with laring-down pains, womb trouble, nervousness, and excruciating head ache, but a few bottles of Lydia K.

Gray U a young lady, (or merly of Michigan. She is now a res- Went of Western Canada, and tbe fol lowing, published in tbe Brown City (Mich.) Banner, are extracts from a friendship letter written about March IS to one of her lady friends In that vicinity. In this letter is given some idesj of the climate, social, educational and religious conditions of Alberta, the beautiful hind of sunshine and happy homes. Over one hundred thousand Americans have made Western Catada their home within the past five years, and In this year upwards of 50,000 will take up homes there. Miss Gray took her leave for Dlds bury, Alberta, the home of her sister and other relatives and friends on Jan. 10 last, and after a two months' so journ in her Western prairie home shej writes of it as follows: "I know II shall grow to love the prairies. We1 have a beautiful view of the moun tains, and it seems wonderful to me to see home after home for tulles, and It is being thickly settled all around us. With the exception of the last few days, which have been cold and stormy, we have had beautiful spring weather ever since I came. The days are beautiful. I call this the 'land of the sun,' ns it seems to be always shining; the nights are cold and frosty. On arriving here I was so greatly sur prised in every way. IMdsbury Is quite a business little town. All the peo ple I meet are so pleasant and hos pitable. They have four churches in IMdsbury the Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Mennonite. The Evan gelicals have Just completed a hand some church, very large and finely fur nished, costing $2,.100. They have a nice literary society here, meets every two weeks. They have fine musical talent here. Your friend, "ANNA C. GRAY." "Yes, my dear, one could lay down rules for the charming of the other sex " said an old but very successful belie to a debutante, who, In spite of a beautiful face, is, It must be ad rnitted, a failure as far as popularity goes. "One could lay down rules 103 if them, all good rules, too, Hut there are two that I'd remember If I were vou, and you can afford to let the others take cure of themselves. The tirsc is, when talking to a man never 'run down' another woman.

To be snatched from the very brink of the grave is a somewhat thrilling experi ence and one which Mrs. M. (). Garrett of this place has Just passed through. Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere bro-SpInal affection, and had been treated by the best physicians, but without the slightest Improvement. For the last twelve months two doc tors were In constant attendance, but she only grew worse and worse, till she could not walk, and did not have anv power to move at all. She was so low that for the greater part of the time she was perfectly un conscious of what was going on about her. ami her heart broken husband and friends were hourly expecting her death. The doctors had given up all hope and uo one thought she could possibly live. In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Oodd's Kidney I'llls. It ibis a last hope, but happily It did not fail. Mrs. Garrett used In all six boxes of the remedy, and is completely cured. She says: ) "1 am doing my own work now ami feel ns well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidnev Tills certainly saved me from death."

M "I wonder," said tlie Major, "how many of the old war corresiiondeiits or furry years ago are living now. I re nlember as among the living only Tovviineiid, Held, Kuray, and a few oth ers. The most of tlietn have crossed the l.ue with the great soldiers whose cam paigns they followed and whose battles they described. 1 have often wondered if the nerve tension that told so hiavlly against the men who strove iu battle and shortened their lives did not also '.inrtcn the lives of the men who wrote of battles under the stress of the condi tions that prevailed at tho front or in the rear of an army. Certainly, the ser vice was a strain on the nerves, wlulher the correspondent wrote of a battle in progress or in the mniM or tne uisiress- ing confusion that followed a battle. '"Here at home a man cannot write a busiiK ss letter or a short article for a newspaper if lie is' subjected to ordin ary interruptions. I saw the Colonel in a frenzy the other day because three ladies came in, one after another, while he was preparing an argument. And yet he had all his materials at hand, mid the interruptions were not of a try ing character. Think of the strain under which an army correspondent wrote, with the uproar and confusion of battle pressing on his nerves. Seeing only a part of the field, he must write of the whole. Dimly comprehending the man euvers based on. strategy or exigency, he must describe all In their relations to defeat or victory. When command ers were beside themselves with excite niciit lie must in some way get informa tion front them. "The correspondent was compelled nut only to get Information, but to measure Its value, and. dazed or excit ed, lie was compelled to write with the calmness of a war historian and at the same time to portray graphically the battle scenes. After bending nil his energies to composition he was ofu-n compelled, to ride as wildly as a charg ing trooper to start his dispatch or let ter northward. The service was very trying, and little wonder that so many of the obi war correspondents died in what the world called their prime. There were men, of course, who wrote of battles without swing them, but I have in mind the men who rode with generals in battle and who shared the privations and dangers of army life. There were many such, but not many of them are alive." "Correspondeaits," said Dr. A. W. Gray, "during the war and after the war missed n great many adventures, the story of which even now seems worth telling. I have in mind the ex perience of Captain Merrick of Corn puny (J. Fifty-first Illinois, in Alabama in istjii. While in the service Captain Merrick had noticed the character of the country about Bridgeport and De catur, and in lMMi he went South to prospect for the location of Northern colonies on unoccupied lands, and to consult owners as to terms of purchase. "lie met with a cordial reception si t Decatur, ami was given direct i ins as lo how to reach the lands for sale. lie hired a hoise and buggy and drove on his way to lilackwater Uiver Into a dis trict: in which there were very few houses. After spending tile day In the wild"i iiess lie started on his return trip, but encountered a heavy rainstorm, and darkness coming on earlier than lie expeitiil. he lost his way. After two hours' driving in the rain and dark lie saw a light In the distance and made his way toward It. lie came upon a cabin and knocked at the door. In answer to the question who was there lie replied that he was a stranger seeking shelte r from the rain. He was bluntly Inform ed that the owner of the cabin did not kj"cp a hotel and could not accommo date him under any circumstances. "When Merrick was told that there was no bouse nearer than seven miles he naked that he be allowed to sleep on the porch outside, and that his horse be fed and given shelter. Finally the surly oceupnnt of the cabin agreed to this, and came out with a lantern. Ills appearance was against him, and he had an ugly and suspicious look In his eye. He held his lantern high to have a good look at Merrtck's face, and then went with the Captain to the stable and waited while tbe latter looked after his horse. "On their return to the cabin the Cap tain suggested he be given a blanket and be permitted to lie down on the porch. Thereupon the huge Alnbunilan planted himself squarely In front of the Captain and gnld menacingly: 'Who lie you. any way? Strangers looking for land don't go prowling around at night. Where you come from?' The Captain said plainly that be wis from the North, and that he wns traveling at night because he had loat Ms way. Then, more roughly, tbe Alabnmlim said: 'You have been here before. You were In the Yankee army.' "The Captain wondered If his re volver was In good condition, and Ad mitted that he had erred In northern Alabama In the Union army. 'I thought so,' uld the other. 'I remember yon. Yon were prowling around this game neighborhood when Boddoy'a cavalry came on your track. Retreating toward your cntnp, you came on 'a man with two buckets of water. You made that innn go with you to the Union tinea. I waa that man.' Thla, tbe CaptaM thought, ended the chapter, but, to his surprise, the Alabamian became cordial, and solicitous for bis comfort, ive him a good bed, aDd he alept In comfort unj til morning. ' "On leading bed he found a good breakfast awaiting him, and when he, started for Decatur his host was on horseback to show him the way. After! they started the man of the cabin ex plained that after being taken to the Union lines in Wtt he had left Rod deyVs cavalry and joined a Union cav-f airy regiment, and that for doing that he had. been persecuted in various ways by bis neighbors, and that he supposed the Captain came to his cabin at night In tlie interest of his enemies. ica go Inter Ocean. A Man of Grit. Tho first day of the New Year, 18C3, (lie Confederates under General Ma gruder, came down iu force from Houston, Tex., and attacked the Cul led States war ships in possession of Galveston Harbor. The attack being a complete surprise, the Union forces were beaten; the beautiful steamer, the Harriet Uatie, was blown up, and tlie vessels that escaped only did so by slipping their cables and putting to sea. William Reid, an old man-of-war's man, who was on board the Owasoo, was one of the heroes of the Galveston fight. His ship was attacked by a floating buttery that had come down through IStiffalo Bayou, and while in the act of loading his rifle, three of bis fingers were torn off by a piece of shell. Keid was at this time fifty-eight years of age, but by his activity and daring he set an example to his young er shipmates. He tied his, handker chief about his wrist to stop the blood, and went on loading and firing without showing in his resolute face any sign of tlie agony lie was suffering. Tlie battle had been raging for near ly an hour, when another shot tore through Iteid's right shoulder, the blood spurting out and spattering those standing near him. Seeing the plight of the old hero, Master Mate Abrams went to him and said; "Keid. you must go below!" "What for?" asked Ifeid. still firing. "To have your wounds dressed." "No. sir." was the reply. "So lonp as there's any lighting going on. and I can lend a hand, I'll stay on deck while there's a deck to stand on, and 7 have a finger to pull a trigger, and an eye to guide a ball." This brave sailor recovered from his wounds, and subsequently distinguish ed himself at icksburg and Mobile He was honorably mustered out at tlie close of the war, married for tlie first time when he was 00, and he Is still living a hale, hearty and honored man. Tired Back Come to all who overtax the kidneys. Don't neglect tbe aching back. Many dang erous kidney trou bles follow in its wake. Mrs. C. B. Pare of Co lumbia ave nue, Glas gow, Ken tucky, wife of C. B. Pare, a prominent brick manufacturer o( that city, says: "V'hen Doan's Kidney Pills were first brought to my atten tion I was suffering from a compllca tion of kidney troubles. P.esides tlie bad back which usually results from kidney complaints, I bad a great deal of trouble with the secretions, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages wera accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated tha kidney secretions, making their color normal, and banished the inflammation which caused tbe scalding sensation. 1 can rest well, my back is strong and sound, and I feel much better in every way."

In tlie last winter of tlie war, by reason of sickness, I became separated from my regiment, but upon recovery I got a full share of soldiering at Nash ville, under old Pap Thomas, when we sent Hood flying southward. I had good opportunity on this occasion to note the valor of our colored troops, who are said to have "fought nobly." One day two colored soldiers came into camp with a dilapidated but haughty Confederate captain. He had strayed beyond his lines and 1ho colored boys somehow got onto the business and they went for him. "Hold on dur, boss," said the leading one, advancing upon him with lixed bayonet. "What do you mean, you black rascal, to talk to me in that ma iiner V" replied the Confederate, "Hear dat, now; black rascal, you say? Don't you 'peat any more such language to us we's Uni ted States soldiers, we is. and don't you talk back." The Confederate en deavored first to threaten, but finding mat would not do. then to coax, and then to bribe, all of which failed. Then falling back again upon his dignity he said it was highly improper that he should surrender to two colored sol diers, as he was a captain. He pro posed that one of the soldiers should go to camp and get an officer while the other soldier remained to guard him. At this the two soldiers laughed heart ily, and then they began to prick him with their bayonets, and In this man ner they walked him Into camp, tho sorriest-looking rebel I ever saw. He demanded of our officers that they should punish the black scoundrels for their Insults to him. "Insults!" shout ed Lieutenant Simmons, of my regi ment. "They are incapable of insult ing you. That you are alive now Is evidence of their generous and noblo character. If the situation had been reversed you would have killed them."

PARKER, ( All Top Rail. On one of the marches near Mem phis, Colonel Stuart, noticing that his boys were using all the mils of the fences for camp fires, Issued an order that only the top rails should be taken. Tlie regiment, ignorant of higher math ematics, at omt' assumed that when one rail was gone the next one was the top, and so It turned out that all rails were top rails, and It took Just seven men to demonstrate that fact on a seven-rail fence. An amusing feature of the present controversy concerning the metric sys tem. In which one party holds to tbe yard and pound as consecrated Anglo Saxon standards, Is that tha United States fundamental legal standards of length nnd mass are the meter and the yard and pound.

Like the sunshine, it is hard to esti mate its value, for though it costs the giver nothing it very likely means all the difference to the recipient between black despair and cheerful ness and hope. A kind smile is be-: yond price to the erring but repenting,: and cheers them to struggle back to the paths of right and duty, from which they have diverged In pursuit of pieasnre and folly, while to thesnr- : rowful, the desolate and the forsaken It has the happiest effect, dissipating the thick clouds and fog which some times entirely obscure a fair land scape. A smile is a token of warmth within; it shows the kind heart of the friend, the affectionate brother, the loving child, or tbe happy husband. It adds a charm to tbe plainest face, it enhances the beauty of the most well favored, and it makes tte gentle, gracious woman appear a veritable angel in the eyes of him who loves her.
