STOP, WOMAN! AND CONSIDER THE ALL IMPORTANT FACT £rm That in address ing Mrs. Pink ham 3ron are con fiding vonr private ills to a woman a woman whose experi ence with women’s dis eases covers a great many years. Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter - in - law of Lvdia E. Pinkham. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assist ance, but a natural modesty impels them to sli""11 from exposing them -I'to to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a wo man whose knowledge from actual ex perience is great. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weaknessare invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham. at Lvnn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Ont of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don’t hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink ham, Lynn. Mass., for special advice. W’hen a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, yon cannot well say, without trying it, " I do not believe it will help me.” Kemp’s Balsam Will stop any cough that can be stopped by any medicine and cure coughs | that cannot be cured by any other medicine.

Facts About Birth Months. Averages for the height of women show that those born in summer and autumn are taller than those born in spring or winter. The tallest girls are born in August. As far as boys are concerned, those who first see the light during autumn and winter are not so tall as those born in spring and summer. Those born in November are the shortest; in July the tallest. Royalty Incognito in London. The police of London can boast that their town entertains unanowing ly more royal folk than any other in Europe, and without an accident lie falling any of them. Once upon a time a German princess did sprain her ankle as she came down from the top of a 'bus, but that is the most serious casualty that ever befell a personage visiting the town unofficially. To Launder White Silk Handkerchiefs. Do not put white silk handkerchiefs in the ordinary wash as they are easily laundered at home.

Disciplined Army of Fish. There is a species of mullet fish found among the coral islands of the Pacific which swims about in armies, with officers and van and rear guard. Each army is also provided with scouts above and below. When dan ger threatens from above, the upper scouts plunge down; if the danger is from below, the lower scouts dart up ward, and thus warn the army.

"Shopping” was certainly a slang word until past the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Bee's Dictionary of Sports and Slang, published in 1825, defines the word as follows: "Shop ping—Among women going about from shop to shop, having little articles perhaps, perhaps not. but always pull ing about great quantities of goods.” To Overcome Obstacles. Show yourself master of the situa tion, not its slave. Rise above the petty annoyances which destroy peace and harmony. Make up your mind that you are too large to be overcome by trifles. Resolve that you will be larger than your business, that you will overtop it with manliness and cheerfulness. Cornstarch Clogs Spindles. In Greece, for some reasons, cli matic or other, it seems absolutely impossible to utilize cornstarch in the manufacture of cambrics and other textiles, although many trials have been made during several years past, as the spindles, especially- in the case of colored textiles, clog. One of the greatest problems to a man is what became of the money he earned six months ago.—Atchison Globe. They Stand Alone. Standing oat in bold relief, all alone, and as a conspicuous example of open, frank and honest dealing with the sick and afflicted, are Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, de bilitated. nervous. -run-down.” pain racked women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys pepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness, all catarrhal affections, whether of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal passages, throat, bronchia, or other mu cous passages, also as an effective remedy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or impure blood, as scrofulous aud skin affections. Each bottle of the abo-’-e medicines bears upon its wrapper a badge of hon esty in the full list of ingredients com posing it—printed in plain English. This frank and open publicity places these medicines in a class all by thnn selres. aud is the best guaranty of their merits. They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither —beingof knoicn composition. Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medi cines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medi cines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for cer tain easily recognized diseases. A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are I rest and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic dis eases. Dr. R. V. Pierce can be consulted free, by addressing him at Buffalo, N. Y., and all communications are re garded as sacredly confidential. It is as easy to be well as ill—and much more comfortable. Constipation is the cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipa tion. They are tiny, sugar-coated gran ules. One little “Pellet” is a gentle laxa tive. two a mild cathartic. All dealers in madiciMB sail them ATHENS AND THE ACROPOLIS Athens, “the mother of arts and eloquence,” stands to-day for all that was most glorious in ancient civili zation. “The grandeur that was Rome” lay in war like achievements, and the erection of enormous works in masonry; but “the glory that was Greece”' was in the lasting influence of great and unparalleled artistic achievement. Her architecture has stood the test of twenty-five centuries, and the ages have never produced, and probably never will produce, a man or | a school that can improve on it in principle. £ No other one achievement of man has had such f permanent and far-reaching effect in the improve- \ ment of mankind as the Greek school of architec- * ture. Its allied art of sculpture has also remained v through the centuries a standard that could not be 1 displaced; and we turn to-day to the chaste marbles of old Athens for our purest inspiration in art as devoutly as did the Romans of old. ' Examples of that peerless art are found in the museums of many lands, and, thanks to the gentle touch of time, there still remains in Athens the noblest of all examples of Greek architecture, the I Parthenon, or temple of the virgin goddess Athens. j Its grand and inspiring form, resisting the ele- mJ ments as if it were as enduring as the hills them- ® selves, stands forth conspicuously on the rocky mount of the Acropolis (or Upper City), around the base of which Athens is built. Standing at a distance, and looking across the uneven ground of modern excavations, flanked by crumbling ruins, toward the Acropolis, the traveler feels that here he views a prospect sacred to all mankind. Here, when all northern Europe was yet immersed in barbarism, and Rome was but emerging from pagan darkness into the light of comparative edu cation, was the seat of western learning. The near nations of Asia had a civilization of their own, but one that could never serve to lift Europe from her low condition: while the life and arts of the far east were scarce known. Greece alone of the western nations shone radiant for her high achievements in the arts, and of Greece the Acropolis of Athens was the heart, the soul, the sanctuary. j Of the several splendid temples erected in the it Acropolis the Parthenon is the only one that remains to-day—even though a ruin—without having been razed or restored. The smaller buildings, like the * temple of Nike, that now stand near it (on the left | in the view given here), would have been lost to the present age but for the painstaking labors of archeologists who dug out their stones from encum ^ bering earth and erected them again in whole or part, on their former sites. The Parthenon, which dates from 438 B. C., and is - described in guide books as ‘ the most perfect monu ment of ancient art, and even in ruins an imposing and soul-stirring object,” excelled all the other build g* ings of the Acropolis in the brilliancy of its colored SO and plastic embellishments, the latter executed by Phideas. The building is 228 feet long and 101 feet wide. It originally had 62 large and 36 smaller col umns, the night of the larger columns being 34^4 feet. The material is marble. The figure of the goddess which was worshiped in the Parthenon was 39 feet high. Ivory was used for the parts unclothed, and solid gold for the dress and ornaments. CALLS FOR SIMPLE SPELLING. Reader Has What He Considers a Real Grievance. “What's the use of the spelling re formers wasting their time trying to simplify the spelling of words when book writers and their publishers are opposing it?" inquired the orthoghra pbic fiend. “I won't go into details, but within the past week I have read two novels written by well known writers—one a Virginia woman and the other a Maine man—a union of sections, so to speak, both issued by prominent publishers, and in one I find ‘jail’ spelled "ga-o-1 and in the other 'wagon' speller! with two g's. “What is the use of it? Are the writers and publishers suffering with Anglomania, for those spellings are local English? They certainly are not according to the American spelling. Neither do they conform to the spirit of spelling reform. What good result may be expected by releasing j and i from jail and putting g and o in? And what good may be secured by loading our wagon until it breaks down? I'm not a writer or publisher but as a reader 1 have the right to protest against the use of words that I know belong to somebody else." Dress Allowance of Royalty. People sometimes wonder what sum is put aside for dress by the daugh ters of royal houses. Before her mar riage, I read the other day. the duchess of Fife was said to have a small dress allowance, and the sum of $1,500 a year was mentioned. Besides yachting and every day dresses, and all the usual costumes required by a girl of the upper class, royal princesses have also to wear the costly and elaborate dresses which their rank demands at the weddings of their near relations. On the whole, it may be asserted that a frugal princess may spend as little as $5,000 a year on her dress, while her more wealthy and extrava gant sister may find her dress bills amount to ten times that sum. The empress of Russia, who more than any other European lady is able to indulge her wildest fancies, dresses with the greatest simplicity—in the daytime mostly in tailor made coats and skirts, in the evening generally in the purest white.—Tatler. Wireless in Germany. The wireless methods of communi cation are making more rapid prog ress in Germany than elsewhere. A new station has been established at Oberschonweide, which will place Berlin and Dresden in communication over a distance of 111 miles. Several other stations already exist. There are reports of a project for construct ing at Nordreich a wireless system of long distance telephoning. Motor Ski Running. This winter the Norwegians have varied the excitement of ski running •by yoking the runner to a motor cycle by a long leather strap, which he grasps with his left hand. The speed attained is enormous and great skill is required to avoid being pulled ovt-r, as *he body is apt to outrun the feet. The pastime is growing very popular. Her Idea of It. “I feel the poetic fire,” he said. “That’s all right,” replied his wife, "but It won’t do for warming pur poses. Better go out and order a ton of coSl.” Auntie’s Limit. "Auntie” was show ng off her little | nephew, aged two, tc an admirer, who was calling upon ner for the second time. He was a very bright youngster and during a pause in his perform ances specially requested by “untie” he suddenly remembered the way she had been teasing him before the caller arrived and decided to turn the tables ! on i>er- So he pointed a chubby finger at the floor and said, "My rug!” Auntie at once caught the spirit of the thing and cried emphatically, “No. j my rug!” "My dress.” said her little nephew, pointing to auntie's gown. "No. my dress,” replied &>—»’■» de lighted to have an opport :_:.y to show how cute he w: s. Then the little bov sidled -r to . the caller and pointing at him, cried, "My man!” Silence on the part of auntie.—Ex change. Too Early for Gretchen. "During my school days," remarked a teacher, “the lowest class was known as the ‘A B C.’ but It is now called the ‘1A.’ When both boys and girls study in the same class, a mixed I class, it is described by the symbols TAM.’ "The other day a German woman brought her little dalghter to school. The principal filled out the usual card | admitting the child to 1 AM, and told the mother to send the girl to school the next morning. As the girl did not appear a messenger was sent to learn the reason. The indignant mother sen: a note which read: “You dink I pe crazy und sent Gretchen at von o'c!ock in de morn ing de school in? Aber I guess not, nit.” Mrs. Schwab’s Care of Husband. Mrs. Schwab, wife of the sick mil lionaire. will not allow her husband to be annoyed by business men or re porters, clouds of whom besiege the New York residence of the steel mag nate. He is willing to talk and con sult, but Mrs. Schwab will only allow the briefest interviews and only a few of these. She takes care that the busi ness man gets no better show than the reporter.

The talented “Carmen Sylvia,” Queen of Roumania, who was before her marriage Princess Elizabeth of Neuwied, learned to speak the Rou manian language in the short interval between her betrothal and wedding day. SENATORS FEAST ON SALMON. Magnificent Fish Provided by Senator Fulton of Oregon. For years the late John H. Mitchell of Oregon was in the habit of giving his colleagues in the senate a lunch eon from the largest salmon to be had in the northwest. A few days ago Senator Fulton of Oregon entered into the full togaship of his office he hp invited the senate down to the res taurant to partake of the noblest sal mon that ever graced a plank. It weighed fifty pounds and was a mag nificent sight. The negro cooks planked it on a piece of oak six feet :ong and cooked it to the king’s taste. W hen they had garnished it with salad greens and whittled turnips and beets it was a picture that made it almost sacrilege to plunge a knife in Prince or Sergeant. The German papers are telling a story of the German crown prince. The kaiser's heir had occasion recently to speak to a street sweeper near the barracks of the riflemen of the guard "Good morning sergeant,” said the sweeper, who did not recognize the prince. He said that his son was fight ing in southwest Africa, but he hoped soon to have him back safe and sound. The prince, smiling, said. “Why, yes, I hope so. too!” and pressed a five mark piece into the old man s hand But the sweeper, looking wistfully at the coin and then at the giver, handed it back, saying, "No, no, sergeant; I doubt you have none too much of that yourself!" Exasperated. “I never heard Mr. Woofer so bitter about women’s spring styles as he was to-night.” says one of the callers when they had left. He was very severe, wasn't he?” ■ies. He talked of nothing else all evening but the absurdity of wom an s blind following the dictates of fashion, and all that sort of thing.” Well, Mrs. Woofer whispered to me to pay no attention to him. It seems that his new suit arrived this afternoon and the tailor had not made the coat as long by half an inch as he wanted it, and he says he will be ashamed to wear it on the street and is consequently out of humor.” Rather Startling. "What's the name of this soap young man?” asked the prospective customer, as he halted before a pvra mid of pink bars. ‘That soap, sir," replied the clerk, is the latest on the market. It is called Automobile soap.” “Is hey? Great guns! I remember they used to make soap out of old horses, but I didn’t think they had ctarted to make it out of old automo biles yet.” Savored of the Truth. "That’s no lie,” remarked the man with the newspaper. “What’s no lie?” queried the other party to the dialogue. “This paragraph to the efTect that ‘Wise men are more often wrong than fools are right,’” answered the other. Poor Prospects. “Haven’t you anything like chicken here?” asked the hungry traveler “Well, sir,” replied the poor farmer, “two of the children have chicken pox' That’s the nearest we’ve got to it.” , ■j CASTOSIA For Infant3 and Children.
