—ALL WOMEN
JJlNB-TENTOS Of
all the pain
andslcknessfrom
which women
suffer Is caused
by weakness or
derangement In
the organa of
menstruation.
Nearly always
when a woman Is not well these
organs are affected. But when
they are strong and healthy a
woman Is very seldom sick.
1 Is nature's provision for the regu
lation of the menstrual function.
It cures all " female troubles." It
ts equally effective for the girt In
t her teens, the young wife with d»
mestto anil maternal cares, and
the woman approaching the period
known as the " Change of Ltle."

In 1815 the royal mews at Charing
Dross were standing and on the actual
life now occupied by Nelson’s column a
long wooden shed was placed, and in it
sms the skeleton of a whale of great
liniensiotis. Through it tho writer
walked from end to end.
Opposite stood, as now they stand,
ipring gardens, where in old times the
beans and belles of the coart of Charles
[I disported themselves. There in s
bouse was toasted "the learned pig. ”
Bystanders desirous of seeing its per
formance stood in a circle, and within
a smaller one playingaords wore appar
sntly indiscriminately thrown down.
Onlookers, jsissilily confederates, named
a particular card, and ghe pig trotted
round and placed his snout on the nam
ed card without nn error.
From that exhibition, tho writer, in
the mime le > ffie tliinks), was taken
and introdu to "the Hottentot Ve
nus," an ch ili) damsel clad in gauzy
garments of th< most flimsy kind, who
displayed her figure by proudly trav
ersing und circling round the room la
which site gave her receptions.
Issuing thence, the writer was taken
to the horse guards parade to see the
cannon used by the French as a mortar
during the siege of Cadiz, 1812. It was
on a carriage in a horizontal positian,
and the writer, lifted by his father, was
thrust inside the muzzlo, and, strug
gling somewhat, was, with a little dif
ficulty, extracted from his confined po
sition.—London Sketch.
The QlrU Blushed Too.
Visitors at tho World’s fair of 1898
will recall the Indian exhibit or en
campment on the shorn of the south
pond. One of the tents or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking hut somewhat taciturn specimen
of young Indian manhood as his own
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper hours for tho inspection of
visitors he resented any approach to im
pertinent curiosity.
A bevy of young women dropped into
liis tent one day boforo his usual hour
ti\y nrumiiHf if ntwl fminrl him futwimr n
rent in a blanket.
“See liow he blushes, ” exclaimed one
of the visitors “Wo have caught him
doing squaw’s work. ”
“Why, that's his natural color, ” gig
gled another. “He always blushes"
“Yes, young ladies" said the Indian
in perfectly got*! English, “he blushes
for some of the civilized and enlighten
ed white Americans of the nineteenth
century. ’ ’
The visitors joined him in blushing
and shortly afterward went out without
further remarks.—Youth’s Companion.
Is “lljr J111*01" Masque?
Prince L. L. Bonaparte, many years
ago, claimed “By jingo” as an English
borrowing from the Basques The Sou*
letin Basques say “Bai Jinko,” mean
ing “Yes, God," not “By God" or
“Par Dieu. ” The k would easily be
come g in the mouth of a foreigner.
Basque sailors and soldiers have always
been ubiquitous. Some time ago I was
at an inn at Larraina (the thrashing
floor) in Soule, whore the host, who
had gained the queen’s medal for serv
ice in the French army in the Crimean
war, repeated “Bai Jinko” hundreds of
times daring ihu day. No doubt the
Basques in tin1 time of Uabelais, the
first author to put Basque words in
print (though he did so rather clumsily)
hud the same habit. It must always
have attracted the attention of foreign
ers, who would readily imitate it.—

HI* Pointed Query.
Hamilton palace was one of the first
great houses in Scotland to use dessert
spoons. A rough country squire, dining
there for the first time, had been served
between the second course with a sweet
dish oontaiuing cream or jelly, and with
it the servant handed him a dessert
spoon. The laird turned it round and
round in his great fist and said to the
servant.
