Chinese Ruler.

ft
The Empress Dowager of China
was sold into slavery at the age of
eleven, to save her family from star
vation. Afterwards, she was present
ed to the late Emperor, and, upon his
wife's death, became Empress. Her
feet were never bound, and she was
taught to read after persistent plead
ing. The sterling qualities of this
wonderful woman, like those of Pilla
hury’s Vitos, have overcome every ob
stacle. And she holds herself at the
bead of China, as does Vitos at the
bead of breakfast foods.

Every housekeeper should know that
if they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not only time, because It never sticks
to the iron, but because each package
contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while
til other Cold Water Starches are put
up in %-pound packages, and the price
Is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it
is because he has a stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that
Defiance Starch has printed on every
package in large letters and figures

TUMORS CONQUERED

Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pink

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I take the liberty to congratulate you on
the success I have had with your wonderful
medicine. Eighteen months ago my month
lies stopped. Shortly after I felt so badly that
I submitted to a thorough examination by a
physician and was told that I had a tumor
on the uterus and would have to undergo an
operation.
Soon after X read one of your advertise
ments and decided to give Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound a’ trial. After
trying five bottles as directed the tumor is
entirely gone. I have been examined by a
physician and he says I have no signs of a
tumor now. It has also brought my month
lies around once more, and I am entirely
well.’'—Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street.

Time -was, with most of us, when
Christmas day encircling all our lim
ited world like a magic ring, left noth
ing out for us to miss or seek; bound
together all our home enjoyments, af
fections, and hopes; grouped every
thing and every one around the Christ
mas fire; and made the little picture
shining in our bright young eyes, com
plete.
Time came, perhaps, all so soon!
when our thoughts overleaped that
narrow boundary; when there was
some one (very dear, we thought then,
very beautiful, and absolutely perfect)
wanting to the fullness of our happi
ness; when we were wanting too (or
we thought so, which did just as well),
at the Christmas hearth by which that
some one sat; and when we intertwin
ed with every wreath and garland of
our life that some one’s name.
That was the time for the bright
visionary Christmases which have
long arisen from us to show
faintly, after summer rain,
in the palest edges of the
rainbow! That was the
time for the beatified enjoy
ment of the things that were
to be, and never were, and
yet the things that were so
real in our resolute hope that
it would be hard to say, now,
what realities achieved since,
have been stronger!
What! Did that Christ
mas never real'.y come when
we and the priceless pearl
who was our young choice
were received, after the hap
piest of totally impossible
marriages, by the two united
families previously at dag
gers-drawn on our account?
When brothers and sisters
in-law who had always been
-ather cool to us before our
-elationship was effected,
perfectly doted on us, and
when fathers and mothers
overwhelmed us with unlim
ited incomes. Was that
Christmas dinner never real
ly eaten, after which we
arose, and generously and
eloquently rendered honor
to our late rival, present in
the company, then and there
exchanging friendship and
forgiveness, and founding an
attachment, not to be sur
passed in Greek or Roman
story, wmcn suDsisteu until ueatnr
Has that same rival long ceased
to care for that same priceless
pearl, and married for money, and be
come usurious? Above all,'do we
really know, now, that we should prob
ably have been miserable if we had
won and worn the pearl, and that we
are better without her?
That Christmas when we had re
cently achieved so much fame: when
we had been carried in triumph some
where, for doing something great and
good; when we had won an honored
and ennobled name, and arrived and
were received at home in a shower of
tears of joy; is it possible that that
Christmas has not come yet?
And is our life here, at the best, so
constituted that, pausing as we ad
vance at such a noticeable mile-stone
in the track as this gTeat birthday,
we look back on the things that never
were, as naturally and full as gravely
as on the things that have been and
are gene, or have been and still are?
If it be so, and so it seems to be, must
we come to the conclusion, that life
Botticelli’s madonna
Welcome, old aspirations, glittering
creatures of an ardent fancy, to your
shelter underneath the holly! We
know you, and have not outlived you
yet. Welcome, old projects and old
loves, however, fleeting, to your nooks
among the steadier lights that Him
around us. Welcome, all that was
ever real to our hearts; and for the
earnestness that made you real,
thanks to Heaven! Do we build no
Christmas castles in the clouds now?
Let our thoughts, fluttering like but
terflies among these flowers of chil
dren, bear witness! Before this boy,
there stretches out a future, brighter
than we ever looked on in our old ro
mantic time, but bright with honor
and with truth. Around this little
head on which the sunny curls lie
heaped, the graces sport, as prettily,
as airily, as when there was no scythe
within the reach of Time to shear
away the curls of our first-love. Upon
another girl's face near it—placider
but smiling bright—a quiet and con
tented little face, we see Home fairly

“Pause,” says a low voice.
“Nothing? Think!”
“On Christmas day, we will

Nothing.”
“Not the shadow of a vast
City where the withered
leaves are lying deep?” the
voice replies. “Not the shad
ow that darkens the whole
globe? Not the shadow oi
the City of the Dead?”
Not even that. Of all days
In the year, we will turn our
faces towards that City upon
Christmas day, and from its
silent hosts bring those we
loved, among us. City of the
Dead, in the blessed name
wherein we are gathered at
this time, and in the Presence
that is here among us accord
ing to the promise, we will re
ceive. and not dismiss, thy
people who are dear to us!
Yes. We can look upon
these children angels that
alight, so solemnly, so beauti
fully, among the living chil
dren by the fire, and can bear
to think how they departed
from us. Entertaining angels
unawares, as the Patriarchs
dia, the playful children are
unconscious of their guests;
but wc can see them—can see
a radiant arm around one favorite
neck, as if there were a tempting of
that child away. Among the celestial
figures is one, a poor, misshaped boy
on earth, of a glorious beauty now, of
whom his dying mother said it griev
ed her much to leave him here, alone,
for so many years as it was likely
would elapse before he came to her—
being such a little child. But he went
quickly, and was laid upon her breast
There was a gallant boy, who fell,
far away, upon a burning sand beneath
a burning sun, and said, “Tell them at
home, with my last love, how much I
could have wished to kiss them once,
but that I died contented and had
done my duty!” Or there was anoth
er, over whom they read the words,
“Therefore we commit his body to
the deep!” and so consigned him to
the lonely ocean and sailed on. Or
there was another who lay down to
his rest in the dark shadow of great
forests, and. on earth, awoke no more.

and forest, be brought hone at such

Prophecy of Christmas
In its prophetic sense Christmas be
comes an annual review-day for the
world, a time of stock taking, a mile
stone in the march of human progress.
The angels sang of what was coming,
not of what had come. The shepherds
worshipped a symbol of universal
peace and good will, of manliness, pur
ity, gentleness and charity, a standard
of what men were yet to be.
And looking at Christmas in this
light, it means perhaps more to this
century than it has meant to any pre
ceding century for nearly 2.000 years.
This is a tetter Christmas than was
that of a year ago, because the world
is better.
If you doubt this, look about you.
Why this growing repugnance to war;
why all these treaties of peace be
tween nations, if men have not come
to love peace and gentleness more
than they ever did before? Why this
increasing gift-giving, this strengthen
ing desire to relieve the stress of
poverty, this greater gladness in the
happiness of others, if the spirit of
Christmas is not more potent to-day
than it ever has been?
Surely, though perhaps slowly, the
world is moving npward. Every
Christmas day finds it nearer the
heights on which the angels, as of old,
are singing. More ears catch the mu
^ yw
sic and more hearts understand the
words of the celestial arthem every
twelvemonth. Each Christmas sees
the prophecy nearer the fulfillment.
And it will be on some Christmas day.
perhaps not very far from this one.
when the song of all the sons and
daughters of men will be that of the
angels of the nativity: “Glory to God
it. the highest, and on earth peace
good will toward men.”
The meaning of Christmas to the
twentieth century is the partly ful

is little better than a dream, and little
worth the loves and strivings that we
crowd into it?
No! Far be such miscalled philos
ophy from us, dear reader, on Christ
mas day! Nearer and closer to our
hearts be the Christmas spirit, which
is the spirit of active usefulness, per
severances, cheerful discharge of duty,
kindness, and forbearance! It is in
the last virtues especially, that we
are, or should be, strengthened by the
unaccomplished visions of our youth;
for, who shall say that they are not
our teachers to deal gently even with
the impalpable nothings of the earth!
Therefore, as we grow older, let us
be more thankful that the circle of our
Christmas associations and of the les
sons that they bring, expands! Let
us welcome every one of them and
summon them to take their places by
the Christmas hearth.

Last Moments of Great Men.
Cuvier performed a delicate experi

words (uttered to the nurse who was
applying leeches) were: "Nurse, it
was I who discovered that leeches

give up working as his time was

Queen Elizabeth Fond of Perfumes.
In the time of Elizabeth perfumes
were very rich and numerous. Civet,
a scent taken from the civet cat, and
musk are often mentioned in the liter
ature of that time. Perfumed gloves
were in vogue then, and the queen had
her portrait scented with them. Even
her shoes were made of leather
steeped in scented oils, which permeat

Gets His Letters Mixed.

Is Disease a Crime ?
Not very long ago. a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is. that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Nature’s laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable Individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses. various displacements of pelvic
organs and other derangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing of children, with Its ex
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care, worry and labor of rearing a
large family, is often the cause of weak
nesses. derangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares,
and the hard, and never-ending work which
the mother Is called upon to perform. Ilr.
Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem
edy for woman’s peculiar weaknesses and
Ills—Ilr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription—says
that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure
of this class of maladies is the fact '.hat the
poor, over-worked housewife can not get the
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor to enable her to secure from the
use of his " Prescription ” Its full benefits. It
Is a matter of frequent experience, he says.

It Is very necessary that. In addition to tak

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
' SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stomach
Trouble.
Q. What is the beginning of sickness T
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach * and bowel
trouble at the present time.
Q. What causes Constipation ?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of na
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Exces
sive brain work. Mental emotion and im
proper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected
Coustipation 1
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. It causes rheu
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is
the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of
sleep and strength are its symptoms—piles,
appendicitis and fistula, are caused by
Constipation. Its consequences are known
to all physicians, but few sufferers realise
their condition until it is too late. Women
become confirmed invalids as a result of
Constipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is "are you constipated,'” That
is the secret.
Q. Can it bo cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
jections, etc., every one of which is in
jurious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex
perience.
Q. What then should be done to cure itf
A. Get a bottle of Mull s Grape Tonic at
once. Mull s Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipat.on and Stomach Trouble iii
the shortest space of time. No other
remedy has before been known to cure
Constipation positively and jieruianently.
Q. What is Mull's Grape Tonic?
A. It is a Compound with 40 per cent, of
the juice of Concord Grapes. It exerts &
peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process is gradual,
but sure. It is not a physic, but it cures
Constipation. Dysentery, Stomach and
Bowel Trouble.' Having a rich, fruity
grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. As &
tonic it is unequalled, insuring the system
against disease. It strengthens and builds
up waste tissue.
Q. Where can Mull’s Grape Tonic bo
had?
A. Your druggist sells it. Tito dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 50
cent size.

Winter here is but a name—the clear bright
sunshiny days, and the alluring out-of-door
