A WOMAN’S ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR’S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to lira.Plnkkam, Lynn,1 Mass, and Receive Valuable Advise Absolutely Confidential and Frew • - There can be no more terrible ordeal. to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physioian, and many continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.

SOLD BY GROCERS EVERYWHERE 'WOOLSON SPICE CO., Toledo, Ohio. With Men of Prominence In Laurence Hutton’s “Talks in a Library” he tells of a dinner he gave to Sir Henry Irving: *“An unexpected guest at that dinner was Mr. Clemens. He would certainly have been invited had his presence in the city been known. He had arrived from Hart ford late in the afternoon, had discov ered from the gossip at the club that the Huttons were having ‘a rather un usual dinner party,’ was told, who were to be present, and decided that it was too good a thing to lose. So he dressed hurriedly, walked in without ceremony just as the feast began, drew up a chair by the side of his hostess, helped himself to her oysters and for the rest of the evening was the life of the par ty, one enthusiastic admirer of his con fessing, over the coffee and cigars, that he would give half he possessed if he were intimate enough with Mark Twain to have him drop in at his house in the same delightfully original and Mark Twainy manner.” Hutton and Edwin Booth were the closest of friends. Hutton possessed one of the best collections in exist ence of death masks, and it was while Booth was examining this that a most impressive incident occurred. Says Hutton: “I shall never forget the first time he saw the Lincoln mask. He asked, innocently enough, whose it was. And when I told him, my heart for a moment ceasing to beat, he rose \ from his seat, took it in his hands and looked at it for a long time without a wrord. What it meant to him we can imagine. The whole awful, awful bus iness came* back to him. The mad dead brother; the martyred, murdered president. Still, without a word, he put it back in its place, and it seemed to me as he did so that he kissed it with his fingers. I have seen him in that room look at it silently over his pipe many and many a time. But he never touched it or spoke of it again, even to me. What he thought of it heaven only knows.” Hutton tells as follows of meeting Rudyard Kipling at a luncheon given to the latter by Richard Watson Gil der: “Another engagement made me late, and I entered the room as the party was breaking up. I was intro duced to Mr. Kipling, with whom I ex changed the traditional few formal words, and we drifted apart; but a moment or two afterward he placed himself on the arm of a chair in which I was sitting and said: ‘I didn’t real ize, Hutton, when I met you a moment ago who you were. Dear old Wolcott Balestier, your friend and mine, tried so hard and so many times to bring us together in London and elsewhere, and now he is gone, and I can’t under stand it all. He died so suddenly and so far away; we had so much to say to each other, and now I have got to wait so long before I can say it’ ” Customs of the Basques Of the strange scenes and customs of the Basque country a traveler writes: "I was struck by the way the women walked and carried themselves. A fat old woman with a huge tray on her head walked along at a swinging pace, shouting her wares meanwhile at the top of her voice. I saw a woman carrying on her head first of all a large tray of fruit (its size can be imagined when I tell you that it was afterward her stall); on the top of this was a basket of washing and a big umbrella to be used to cover the stall. Then, in her left hand, she carried a supplementary stall and by the other 6he led a little child which could Just reach the mother’s hand by holding its own up as high as it cold stretch. I was waiting once at a little way side inn in the village of Ascain when I saw an old lady followed by two great fat white pigs. They all three waddled over to the village pump and then, procuring some water in a pail, th,e old lady proceeded to wash her charges. She cleaned them most as siduously—eyes, ears, tail, back, hind quarters and feet. “There is a dignity of carriage about all the women in this country. I fancied it might be dye to the fact that formerly, before the ‘Code Na poleon’ came into operation, the law obliged the first-born, whether boy or girl, to inherit the patrimony and con tine the head of the family, the hus band taking the wife’s name when the inheritor was a woman, thus giv ing the woman a perfect equality from her birth. The matrons are not less beautiful than the yonger women. “Quite unlike any other language in that of the Basques. Although when hearing the people talk a Spanish sond seems to be occasionally emit ted, it is not really at aH like Spanish. I was amused to find that ‘no’ is ‘ess’ in Basque and when I asked what ‘yes’ was I thought at first the answer was ‘na,’ which would have been very curious, but it turned out to be ‘ba,’ with the ‘b’ softly pronounced.” Immortal John Paul Jones As thistledown, light and impotent.

McCurdy of Troy, Ohio, proves that the severest forms of Constipation are promptly cured by Mull's Grape Tonic—He says: “I gave your Tonic a thorough trial. It is the only remedy that will cure constipation. I do not believe anyone suffered more therefrom than I. as 1 had been afflicted with it all my life.

My Stomach and Liver were deranged and I suffered with inward piles, the pains of which would at times raise me off my chai*.
