Hugh * letter follows , is another woman in high 'position ' who owes her health to the use of Lydia E. Pinfcham's Vegetable Compound * "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : 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. Pinkliain's Vegetable Compound , and I am so glad I did. No one can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully , and besides building up my general health , it drove all disease and poison out of my body , and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl. Mrs. Piukham's medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be. " MRS. M. E. HUQHSON , 347 East Ohio St. , Chicago , I1L 'Mrs. Pinkliam Tells How Ordinary Tasks Produce Displacements. Apparently trifling incidents in woman's daily life frequently produce displacements of the womb. A slip on the stairs , lifting during menstruation , standing at a counter , running a sewing machine , or attending to the most ordinary tasks may result in displacement , and a train of serious evils is started. The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don't let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. More than a million women have regained health by the use of JJydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If tlie slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write to Mrs. Pinkham , at I ynn , Mass. , for her advice , and a few timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This advice costs you nothing , but it may mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell , 177 Wellington St. , Kingston , Ont. , writes : "DEAR MRS. PINXIIAM : You are indeed a godsend to women , and if they all knew what you could do for them , there would be no need of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. "I suffered for years with bearing-clown pains , womb trouble , nervousness , and excruciating head ache , but a few bottles of ! Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising to me. I am light and happy , and I do not know what sickness is , and I now enjoy the best of health. " Iiydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore health to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for the worst forms of female complaints , that bearing-down feeling , weak back , falling and displacement of the womb , inflammation of the ovaries , and all troubles of the uterus or womb. It dissolves and expels tumors from the 'uterus in the early stage of development , and checks any tendency to cancer ous humors. It subdues excitability , nervous prostration , and tones up the entire female system. Its record of cures is the greatest in the world , and ' should be relied upon with confidence. FORFEIT 'f ' t cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signature ! of above testimonials , which will prove their absolute genuineness. I y < lia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. , Lynn , Slats.

Hef Western Canada Home. \ Anna C , Gray is a young lady , for * merly of Michigan. She is now a r ident of Western Canada , and the fol lowing , published in the Brown City ( Mich. ) Banner , are extracts from a friendship letter written about March 15 to one of her lady friends In that vicinity. In this letter is given some idea of the climate , social , educational and religious conditions of Alberta , the beautiful land of sunshine and" happy homes. Over one hundred thousand Americans have made Western Canada 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 Dids- 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 she writes of it as follows : "I know I shall grow to love the prairies. We have a beautiful view of the moun tains , and it seems wonderful to me to see home after home for miles , 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 , ' as it seems to be always shining ; the nights are cold and frosty. On arriving here I was so greatly sur prised in every way. Didsbury is quite a business little town. All the people ple I meet are so pleasant and hos pitable. They have four churches in Didsbury the Baptist , Presbyterian , Evangelical and Mennonite. The Evan gelicals have just completed a hand some church , very large and finely fur nished , costing $2,500. 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 belle to a debutante , who , in spite of a beautiful face , is , it must be ad mitted , a failure as far as popularity goes. "One could lay down rules 103 ) C them , all good rules , too. But there ire two that I'd remember if I were you , and you can afford to let the others take care of themselves. The firso is , when talking to q. man never 'run down' another woman. The second end and even if you forget the first , please remember the second is , never praise another man. " i A Tight Squeeze. Brazils , Ark. , May 11. To be snatched from the very brink of the grave is a somewhat thrilling experi ence and one which Mrs. M. O. Garrett of this place has just passed through. Mrs. Garrett suffered with a CerebroSpinal - bro-Spinal affection , and had been treated by the best physicians , but without the slightest improvement. i 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 any 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 , and her heart-broken husband and friends were hourly expecting her death. The doctors had given up all hope and no one thought she could possibly live. live.In In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a last hope , but happily it did not fail. fail.Mrs. Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the remedy , and is completely cured. She says : "I am doing my own work now and feel as well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved me from death.

KI "I wonder , " said the Major , "how many of the old war correspondents of forty years ago are living now. I remember - ' member as among the living only Townsend , Reid , Furay , and a few oth- ' ers. The most of them have crossed the line with the great soldiers whose cam paigns they followed and whose battles they described. 1 have often Avondered If the nerve tension that told so heavily against the men who strove in battle and shortened their lives did not also shorten the lives of the men who wrote of battles under the stress of the condi tions that prevailed at the front or in the rear of an army. Certainly , the ser vice was a strain on the nerves , whether the correspondent wrote of a battle in progress or in the midst of the distress ing confusion that followed a buttle. "Here at home a man cannot write a business letter or a short article for a newspaper if he'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 be was preparing an argument. And yet he had all his materials at hand , and 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 ment he must in some way get informa tion from them. "The correspondent was compelled not only to get information , but to measure its value , and , dazed or excit ed , he was compelled to write with the calmness of a war historian and at the same time to portray graphically the battle scenes. After bending all his energies to composition he was often 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 old Avar correspondents died in what the world called their prime. There were men , of course , who wrote of battles without seeing 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. " "Correspondents , " said Dr. A. "W. Gray , "during the war and after the war missed a great many adventures , the story of which even now seems worth telling. I have in mind the ex perience of Captain Merrick of Com pany G. Fifty-first Illinois , in Alabama in 1SGO. "While in the service Captain Merrick had noticed the character of the country about Bridgeport and De catur , and in 1SGG 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 at Decatur , and was givendirections as to how to " "reach the lands for sale. He hired a horse and buggy and drove on his way to Blackwater River into a dis trict in which there were very few houses. After spending the day in the wilderness he started on his return trip , but encountered a heavy rainstorm , and darkness coming on earlier than lie expected , he lost his way. After tAvo hours' driving in the rain and dark lie saAv a light in the distance and made his Avay toward it. He came upon a cabin and knocked at the door. In ansAver to the question who was there he replied that he was a stranger seeking shelter from the rain. He was bluntly inform ed that the owner of the cabin did not ' keep a hotel and could not accommo date him under any circumstances. "When Merrick was told that there s , ras no house nearer than seven miles c he asked that he be allowed to sleep * on the porch outside , and that his horse be fed and given shelter. Finally thee surly occupant of the cabin agreed to r. l this , and came out with a lantern. His appearance was against him , and he had an ugly and suspicious look in his eye. He Held his lantern high to have T a good look at Merrick's face , and then went with the Captain to the stable and , waited while the latter looked after his horse" "On their return to the cabin the Captain - tain suggested he be given a blanket and be permitted to lie down on the porch. Thereupon the huge Alabamian planted himself squarely in front of the Captain and said menacingly : 'Who be you , any way ? Strangers looking for land don't go prowling around at night. Where you come from ? ' The Captain said plainly that he was from the North , and that he was traveling at night because he had lotrt his way. Then , more roughly , the llabainian said : 'You have been here before. You were in the Yankee army. ' "The Captain -wondered if his re volver Avas in good condition , and ad mitted that he had served In northern Alabama in the Union army. 'I thought so , ' said the other. 'I remember you. You were prowling around this same neighborhood when Roddey's cavalry came on your track. Retreating toward your camp , you came on a man with two buckets of water. You made that man go Avith you to the Union lines. I was that man. ' Thte , the Captafti thought , ended the chnpter , but , to nil surprise , the Alabamian became cordial and solicitous for his comfort , ive him a good bed , and he slept In comfort un til morning. "On leaving 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 1803 he had left Rod dey's cavalry and joined a Union cav alry regiment , and that for doing that he had been persecuted in various ways by his neighbors , and that he supposed the Captain cam'e to his cabin at night in the interest of his enemies. " Chica go Inter Ocean. A Man of Grit. The first day of the New Year , 1SG3 , the Confederates under General Ma- .gruder , came doAvn in force from Houston , Tex. , and attacked the Uni ted States Avar shii > s in possession of Galveston Harbor. The attack being a Complete surprise , the "Union forces CAATere beaten ; the beautiful steamer , the Harriet Lane , was bloAvn up , and the vessels that escaped only did so ( by slipping their cables and putting to sea. William Reid , an old man-of-Avar's man , Avho Avas on board the OAA'asco , was one of the heroes of the Galveston fight. His ship was attacked by a floating battery that had come down through Buffalo Bayou , and while in , the act of loading his rifle , three of his fingers Avere torn off by a piece of shell. Keid Avas 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 the agony he was suffering. The battle had been raging for near ly an hour , Avhen another shot tore through Reid's right shoulder , the blood spurting out and spattering those standing near him. Seeing the plight of the old hero , Master Mate Abrams Avent to him and said : "Reid , you must go below ! " "What for ? " asked Reid , still firing. "To have your wounds dressed. " "No , sir , " was the reply. "So long as there's any fighting going on , and I can lend a hand. I'll stay on deck while there's a deck to stand on , and I have a finger to pull a trigger , and an eye to guide a ball. " This brave sailor recovered from his Avounds , and subsequently distinguish ed himself at Vicksburg and Mobile. Ho was honorably mustered out at the close of the Avar , married for the first time Avhen he was GO , and he is still living a hale , hearty and honored man. A Hanchty Rebel. In the last Avinter of the war , by reason of sickness , I became .separated from my reiriment , but upon recovery I got a full share of soldiering at Nash ville , under old Pap Thomas , when Ave 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 Avith a dilapidated but Jiaughty Confederate captain. lie had strayed be3'ond his lines and the colored boys somehow got onto the business and they Avent for him. "Hold on dar , boss. " said the leading one , advancing upon him Avith fixed bayonet. "What do you mean , you black rascal , to talk to me in that manner ? " 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 , Ave is , and don't you talk back. " The Confederate en deavored first to threaten , but finding that Avould 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 tAvo colored sol diers , as he AA-as 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- ity. and then they began to prick him with their bayonets , and in this man ner they Avalked him into camp , the 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 noble character. If the situation had been reversed you would haye killed them. " All Top Rails. On one of the marches near Mem phis , Colonel Stuart , noticing that his boys Avere using all the rails of the fences for camp fires , issued an order that only the top rails should be taken. The regiment , ignorant of higher math ematics , at once 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 Avhich one party holds to the yard and pound as consecrated Anglo- Saxon standards , is that the United States fundamental legal standards of length and mass are the meter and the yard and pound. The yard is legally expressed as 3000-3937 part of a meter. The German Cable Company has fin ished laying its second line to.New York as far as the Azore islands , 1,200 miles.

Many dang erous kidney trou bles follow In its wake. Mrs. C. B. Pare of Co lumbia ave nue , Glasgow - ' gow , Ken tucky , wife of C. B.

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 pleasure and folly , while to the sorrowful rowful , the desolate and the forsaken it has the happiest effect , dissipating the thick clonds 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 the happy husband. It adds a charm to the 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. Idleness is the key of beggary , and the root of all evil. Spurgeon. All through our lives the partings come , ill fortunes come , and tempta tions attack us in our weakest points that our hearts may be softened and refined and enabled to understand the glory that is in humanity , the beauty that is in goodness , and the happiness that is in self denial.
