Chinese Ruler. The Empress Dowager of China vas 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 vronderful woman, like those of Pills bury's Vitos, have overcome every ob stacle. And she holds herself at the head of China, as does Vitos at the bead of breakfast foods. A chow, or Chinese edible dog, costs $75. KITS pertnanentlrcnr"l.

That which is irreverent must be irreligious. Every housekeeper should know th?t if they wili 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 10 oz. one full pound while :11 other Cold Water Starches are put up in 34-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 "1C ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and nionev and the annoy ance of the iron sticking.

TUMORS CONQUERED SERIOUS OPERATORS AVOIDED Unqualified Success of Lydla E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound la the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. l'inkhain's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread en emy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it i.s far advanced. So-called "wandering pains" may oome from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made mani fest by profuse menstruation, accom panied by unusual pain, from the ovaries down the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or dis placement, don't wait for time to con firm your fears and go through the horrors of a hospital operation; secure Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Com pound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkhaiu. of Lynn, Mas:., will give you her advice free of all charge if you will write her about yourself. You r let ter will be seen by women only. Dear Mrs. I'iiikhani: " I t.-ike the hlterty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine.

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 Christmascs which 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!

The angels sang of what was coming, cot 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.

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!

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 upward. Every Christmas day finds it nearer the heights on which the angels, as of old, are singing. More ears catch the mu rays shine from a star, we see how, when our graves are old, other hopes than ours are yc-ang, other hearts than ours are moved; how other ways are smoothed; how other happiness blooms, ripens, and decays no, not decays, for other homes and other bands of children, not yet In being nor for ages yet to be, arise, and bloom and ripen to the end of all! Welcome, everything! Welcome, alike what has been, and what never was, and what we hope may be, to your shelter underneath the holly, to your places round the Christmas fire, where what is sits open-hearted! In yonder shadow, do we see obtruding furtively upon the blaze, an enemy's face? By Christmas Day we lorgive him! If the injury he has done us may admit of such companionship, let him come here and take his place. If otherwise, unhappily, let him go hence, assured that we will never injure nor accuse him. On this day we shut out Nothing! "Pause," says a low voice. "Nothing? Think!" "On Christmas day, we will shut out from our fireside, 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 X '"zH.,-? . CXI 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 ;33 did, the playful children are unconscious of their guests; but wt 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 befoie 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, upn 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. O shall they net, from sand and sea and forest, be brought houe at such a time! Charles Dickens. Bi sic and more hearts understand the words of the celestial acthem 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 o the twentieth century is the partly ful filled prophecy of a perfect Christmas to some century In the future, just a? the first Christmas was a prophecy foi the world of to-day. SEVEN YEARS AGO. A Rochester Chemist Found a Singu larly Effective Medicine. William A. Franklin, of the Frank lin & Palmer Chemical Co., Roches ter, N. Y, writes: "Seven years ago I was suffer ing very much through the fail ure of the kidneys to eliminate the uric acid from my system. My back was very lame and ached if I overexerted myself in the least de gree. At times I was weighed down with a feeling of languor and depres sion and suffered continually from annoying irregularities of the kidney secretions. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. I found prompt relief from the aching and Iamenes in my back, and by the time I had taken three boxes I was cured of all Irregularities."

Cuvier performed a delicate experi ment on the day he died, and his last words (uttered to the nurse who was applying leeches) were: "Nurse, it was I who discovered that leeches have red blood." Wilson, the famous ornithologist, when told that he must give up working as his time was come, replied: "Very well, but be sure you bury me where the birds will sing over my grave." Queen Elizabeth Fond of Perfumes. In the time of Elizabeth perfumes" were very rich and numerous. Civet, a scent taken fiom 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 ed the skin. Gets His Letters Mixed. A recent candidate for parliament In England wrote an address to the elect ors of the town which he wished to represent and a love letter to his best girl. He put the two effusions into the wrong envelopes. The print er was quite surprised at receiving an order to print 10.000 copies of the love letter in circular form. Suicide in Europe. It is estimated that 70,000 people take their own lives every year in Europe, 11.000 of which fall to Ger many. During the last ten years the number of self-murders in Germany has been 113,545. This Is almost three times as many as there were soldiers killed outright in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870-71. Fatality Ran in Family.

Not very lone aso. a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer assorted, in substance, that all disease should lw regarded as criminal. Certain it is. that much of the sickness and sutlering 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 bo harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who siuks 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 cjtem. coupled witli the care, worry and latxir of rearlnjr a lanro family, is often the eane of weak nesses, derangements and debility which are amrravau-il Ity the many household cares, and the hard, and never-endinc work which the mother is called upon to perform.
