When a woman suffering from
female trouble is told that an oper
ation is necessary , it , of course ,
frightens her.
The very thought of thohospital ,
the operating- table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
It is quite true that these troub
les may reach a stage where an ope
ration is the only resource , but a
great many women have been cured
by Ibydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after -an operation has
MOORE
ROSE
been decided upon as the only cure. MISS
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from women who by taking
lia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
malic from native roots and herbs , have escaped serious operations , as
evidenced by Miss Rose Moore's case , of 307 W. 2Gth St. , N. Y. She writes-
Dear Mrs. Pinlcham-"LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express
to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. _ I
doctored and doctoi ed withonty temporary relief and constantly objecting1
to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ; it cured me of the terrible trouble
and I am nov ? in better health than I have "been for' many years. "

Delicate Attention * That Win. the
Heart of Women.
TLe French husband has a faculty
that aaiounts almost to a genius for
bestowing the delicate attentions which
test little except the exercise of a mo
dicum of tact and thoughtfulness , but
wMch carry Joy to every true wom
an's heart. lie not only thinks to take
home to her often ( in the absence of
the means to make a larger offering ) a
10-cent bunch of violets , pinks or roses
from the flower market or the itinerant
flower vender's barrow on his route ,
but he presents them gallantly with
the compliment and the caress the oc
casion calls for ; and that makes them
confer a pleasure * out of all proportion
to their intrinsic worth ;
He remembers her birthday or fete
day with a potted plant , a bit of game ,
a box of bonbons , a cake from the pas
try cook's or a bottle of good wine. He
is marvelously fertile in expedients for
making the time pass quickly and
agreeably for her. He has a thousand
amusing and successful devices for
helping her to renew her youth. He
projects unique and joyous Sunday and
holiday" excursions. Ho improvises
dainty little banquets. He is a past
master especially in sthe art of conjur
ing up amiable mysteries and prepar
ing charming little surprises.
And in all these trivial enterprises
he vindicates the old French theory
that true courtesy consists in taking a
certain amount of pains to so order
our words and our manners that oth
ers "be content with us and with
themselves. "

Englishman' * First and Successful
Attempt * In Manitoba Soil Pro
daces Striking : Results.
The Winnipeg ( Canada ) Free Press
of a few days since contains account
of the success that followed the efforts
of William Knowles , an Englishman
who located near Manitoba. This is but
one of many letters feiving experiences
of settlers and should be encouraging
to those wlio are looking about for a
new home in which they may better
their conditions. The following is a
copy of the article referred to :
William Knowles , who cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side o
the Red River , has pr6bably as fine a
display of horticultural products as
any in Manitoba. The whole of his
holding is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded withsplendid -
vegetable specimens , which have fortu
nately escaped damage by .hail , al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The ,
potatoes are a wonderful crop , and he.
expects to raise 1,500 bushels from his
patch of 4 % acres. A half-dozen of.
tubers selected yesterday average more
than a pound each. Adjoining the po
tatoes may be seen a marvelous collec
tion of tomatoes. There are GOO plants ,
all growing under an enormous weight
of fruit. One single stock picked yes
terday contained eighteen tomatoes and
weighed four pounds. This extraordinary - .
ary example of marvelous growth , to
gether with some of the potatoes , were
sent to the Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first in town
with several specimens , including green
corn. The season has been very favorable - ,
able for onions , and one square patch ;
of nearly an acre is looking remark
ably healthy. In addition , there are
good crops of cabbages , cauliflower ,
turnips , parsnips , carrots , pumpkins ,
marrows , cucumbers , celery , peas , let
tuce , rhubarb , etc. The floral depart
ment has not been neglected , and a
charming display of all the well-known
blooms were * shown , including a spe
cially choice lot of asters.
Mr. Knowles , who gained most of his
gardening experience in England , is
loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for
vegetable raising , and is gratified with
the result of his first attempt at exten
sive horticulture.
Sore By CM.
Conjunctivitis , which is the most
common form of sore eyes , is an iu'lam-
mation of the thin , transparent mem
brane covering the front surface of the
eyeball and lining the lids.
Oculists distinguish several varieties
of this disease , the symptoms of which
vary greatly in intensity. There may be
merely a bloodshot condition , due to the
enlargement of the blood vessels to such
a size that they become visible , accom
panied by an itching and a feeiing as if
there were dust in the eyes , with per
haps a little sticky discharge which
glues the lids together in the morning.
The eyes are also sensitive to light , and
sometimes ache slightly.
In more severe cases the discharge
is profuse and yellowish , ulcers may
form , and the inflammation may even
extend to the deeper structures or' the
eye , and so destroy the sight
One of the chronic forms of conjunc
tivitis is that k" x rn as trachoma , or
granular lids. 'iis is very dillicuit to
cure , and often results in a permanent
Injury to vision. It is also quite con
tagious. Indeed , all forms of sore eye
are probably contagious , but some are
more so than others , and for this rea
son the most scrupulous precautions
should be taken to protect the other
members of the family when one has
any form of conjunctivitis. The suffer
er should sleep in a bed by himself , and
should have his own towels , wash-rag
or sponge , and handkerchiefs ; and
these , when soiled , should be thorough
ly boiled in a separate vessel , and
should not go into the common wash.
The treatment of simple conjunctivi
tis consists chiefly in cleanliness. The
eyes should be bathed often in luke
warm water containing a pinch of salt ,
or in a solution of boric acid , and somd
of the solution should be dropped into
the eye , so as to wash away the dis
charge.
The eyes should be shielded from tbB
light by smoked glasses or goggles.
Little squares of cloth , cut larga
enough to cover the eye , may be placed
on a cake of ice. When cold they can
be laid on the eye , and changed as soon
as they become warm. This application
is often very grateful to the sufferer ,
and is useful in subduing the inflamma
tion.
If the trouble does not quickly sub
side under this simple treatment ; a phy
sician should be consulted , Tor the ey < ]
Is a very delicate organ , and irremedia
ble mischief may result if , inflammation
Is allowed to run.
TTA-KTD GBENADES OE WAR OE ' 12.
Old-Time Ordnance Found at Fort
Henry Hovr They Were Used.
While examining the contents of the
ordnance storehouse at Fort McHeary
Lieut J. L. Holcombe , of the 12Sdi
coast artillery , discovered several
boxes of old hand grenades which an
supposed to be more than 100 years
old , says the Baltimore American.
The missiles are of the earliest make
used by the United States government
and were probably placed at the his
toric old fort when it was first erected
in 1812. Owing to the way in whlcl }
they were packed the grenades had
only the slightest trace of rust upon
them.
The discovery of the weapon recalls
a bit of the ancient history of the
country. In explaining their use Lieut
Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers of the
ship , who , walking ou upon the yardarms -
, arms of the old fashioned fighting ves
sels , threw them into the ranks of the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc.
They weigh about four pounds and
are shaped after the fashiqn of the
bombs used by anarchists , and are
iron "and loaded with gunpowder.
Several days after the discovery one
of the new recruits at the fort wag
found trying to dry the powder in one
of the missiles by roasting it on the
flre. A report was made to Lieut
Watson , in command of the post , who
said that he intended to write to the
authorities and ask permissiou to
dump them in the middle of Chesa
peake bay , as they were so old fashioji
ed that they would be of practically no
use whatever in modern warfare.

Horses Saved by a Dogr.
A New Jersey farm laborer went to
Egg Harbor City to do some shopping
and when he emerged from a store his
team had disappeared. No one had
seen the driverless horses go and it was
thought that they had been stolen. The
man walked home and discovered that
the house dog was Iso missing. Some
days later the dog returned to the
farm , got some food and drink and
started away , barking furiously. He
was followed and in a piece ofwoods
several miles away the team was dis-
covered. The horses had wedged the
ivagon between two trees and there they
had stood five days wituout food or
drink. They had gnawed the bark
from the trees.
