In fact, there is hardly a part of the body that can escape those sympathetic pains and aches. No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is positively no need of it. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound acts promptly and thoroughly in such cases , strengthens the muscles, heals all inflammation, and restores the organ to its normal condition. Druggists are selling carloads of it. Mrs. Pink ham, at Lynn, Mass., will gladly and freely an swer all letters asking for advice. Mrs. E. Bishop, 78 Halsey Street, Brooktyn, N.

You cannot imagine the fear ful condition I was in when I first wrote to you. I was simply of no use to myself or anyone else. I had worked hard, and my nervous system was shattered from female complaint and travelling constantly, I ran the gauntlet of doctors' theories, till ray health and money were rapidly vanishing. . . .

They Are av Hardy mmo) Cheerf nl Peopls and Are Noted for Their 1J oneaty - and Kalthfalne Kaally A mericaDlxed. There is hftre alarg Icelandic popula tion, says a Milton (NT. D.) communica tion. No other people who have come to this country are better equipped to become citizeais. The first settlements were male by the Scandinavians, prin cipally Norwegians. The Icelanders are, as we ee them here, the most frugal and industrious people in the world. They never fail to utilize everything of value in life, from the shortest straw t the latest minute of time. They are at work al ways, all of them, from the baby just out of the cradle to the witiiered and hobbling' great-grand father. Every family makes sure tJiat its own necesi t iots are provided for. Kavh keeps a few sheep, some pigs, an abundance of hens, at least one or two cows, etc, but noth ing that consumes without producing something in return. Most luxuries are new to them on their arrival, and they take to new articles, either of food or raiment, only when forced by theirnew surroundings to do so. They live w ith in themselves, and always have some thing to sell chickens, eggs, butter, mittens, socks, knit want ui usees, log gins, hoods, yams, cloth, ear tips, ajid, of course, farm pnoducus. All work incessantly but moderately during daylight; and at night, lhile visiting as if they had just met after a long separation, knit, spin, weave, sew, work out rude implements, card wool, make butter and manufacture gar ments. Of course, the cloth for tlnese garments is homemade. When some thing is absolutely needed from the store, the Icelander secures it by bar tering an article of home manufacture he never pays out money if it can be avoided. The butter here is much like that common to old Iceland that is, rancid. It is not the rancidity of the American butterniaker where butter, sweet at first, has begun to spoil but a peculiar sourness resulting from keeping the milk and cream until fi '.ed. It is very disagreeable to Americans at first, but it kees far better than what we call "good butter. Itutter, according to the reports of the United States de partment of agriculture, is of the high est form, bulk for bulk, of nutriment. The Icelanders seem to ha.ve known this always, and, although their "boot&h is strong enough to drive a dot; out of a tanyard. it is just as nutritious as the "gilt-edged creamery of their Yankee neighbors, and costs less In labor before and lesH in care after making. There is absolutely no picture in American life carrying so erfeet an idea of domestic contentment and hap piness as one may see in any ordinary Icelandic home. They are frank, cheerful and kind never noisy and have no vaulting ambitions, no false pride, no false modesty. This tatter lack of prudery may account for their virtue and, in part, for their simple happiness. The Icelander has no complex the ories or philosophy. He thinks the first man was an Icelander and was born in Iceland. lie scouts the idea that the Norsemen discovered either America or his own bleak little mole in the arctic seud. He says he was always on the latter, and always knew aliout the former and about Greenland and Eu rope. He claims with pride that noth ing good in the pular form of govern ment is new with America, or that the United States is entitled to credit for the invention of a republic. He says he had a better republic than this for 400 years, and that a long thousand years in Iceland did not develop so many sins, crooks and forms of maladminis tration as a year in America. All Icelanders, of course, are very hardy. They are troubled, at first, by the extreme heat of our summers, but finally liecomc acclimated. They do not move about, and never return to Iceland. They become Americanized even uore easily than the Norwegians, if that is ossible, and make reliable, eaceful citizens. The young women are the most kindly,, faithful and quiet servants procurable, and all of them are honest. N. Y. Times. VENDETTAS IN SICILY. StUl Preralent, sad the gllghteet TriBe Hrlnga Them Oau In Sicily, young men who are eligible partis have to exercise extreme care in their demeanor toward young unmar ried ladies. To dance with them so often as to le remarked, to attempt to talk to them alone, is, to use the in genious expression of an Italian friend of mine, expected to make you their future-in-law. In the lower classes, says the New York Mercury, a vendetta, lesults if a man pays attention to an unmarried girl without marrying her. Vendettas are quite prevalent still. I heard a characteristic and rather amus ing story about one the other day. A gentleman's coachman did his part in a vendetta and was sent to prison for a term there being no capital punish ment in Sicily. His master went to visit him in prison, and asked if he could do anything for him. "Yes, sig .nor; if you will pay half a franc a day for me I can have a better room and bet ter food, and a shave." He attached most importance to the sliaVe. If a roau sees his brother being murdered, not more than anyone else in the crowd will he do anything to bring the of fender to justice. He may not even interfere. But he will take it upon himself as a sacred duty to kill the mur derer whenever he has him at his mercy. A Free Pre la Aaetrta. Austria's new ministry has sent a circular to all public prosecutors re jrinding them that the freedom of the press is guaranteed by the constitution, and warning them that the illegal prac tice of confiscating newspapers, on the ground that they incite to hatred and contempt, will no longer be tolerated. A Lawyer's Confession. A famous advocate confessed him self: "I am never so happy as when I am defending a prisoner I know to be guilty; for if he is convicted, he will get his deserts; and if I get him off, it will be a tribute to my skill." FIGHTING MOTHS IN CARPETS. Ldqatda Wtaleta Are Reparnaat to the le stroyer of Woven Oootls. Carpets were never cheaper nor bet ter than now. but until times are better we shall have to take care of our old car pets. The moth ia the great enemy to be fought and defeated. There are ef ficacious remedies. One is to steep one fourth of a pound of cayenne pepi r in one gallon of water, then adding two drachms of strychnia powder. Strain and pour this into a shallow vessel, such as a large, tinned-iron milk pan. Holl the carpet up and set each end al ternately in this mixture for ten min utes, or long enough to insure the sat uration of its edges for about an inch. Do this after beating the carpet, . The ends should likewise be treated. lie sure the carpet is dry before tacking down, as the wet poison might injure the fingers while tacking. When done with the liquid throw where it possibly cannot harin' anybody, or bottle and label for future use, marking it "Carpet moth poison." This preparation will not stain the carpet nor corrode metals in contact with the carpet. Another mixture calls for one pound of quassia chips, one-fourth of a pound of cayenne pepper, steeped in two gal lons of. water, strained and used as above. When the carpet to be treated is not to be taken up. spray ends, edges, mar gins and corners with the atomizer. Perhaps two or three applications might be better than one with the atom izer. The carpet moth loves the bindings and margins of a carpet. Ingrains or three-plya may be treated successfully while down by wringing a cloth out of hot water, laying it over the bindings and edges and ironing with a hot iron. This will destroy both moth and eggs. This method is not effectual with mo quet tes or other heavy carpets, as the heat will not sufficiently penetrate them, besides which, ironing injures the pile of velvet; still, the tacks can be drawn occasionally and the carpet laid over on its edge, one side at a time, and steamed on the wrong side. Then wipe the floor under the carpet as far as the arm can reach with hot cayenne tea. Also wipe the edge and bindings of carpet with a hot rag, rubbing bard before renailing. Some recommend sprinkling salt around the sides of the room before nailing down the sides of the carpet, but this seems wrong, be cause the salt will surely attract too much moisture. He on the lookout for the Buffalo car pet beetle as early in the year as Feb ruary and March. Look out for them on the windows and window sills, and over all woolen clothing Dot in frequent use. The moth has a special liking for red carpet. But the pest comes also later in the year, being sometimes brought into the house in flowers. It has a par ticular love for the blossoms of the spirea. It is a good plan, where the moths are unusually had to saturate the floor with benzine, or preferably, we think, with spirits of turpentine, which is not so inflamable nor volatile, and then lay newspapers down under the carpet. This prevents an attack from the underside. It is important to remember that the moth always abhors the light, which is death to the eggs and larvae, and is really tJie best thing with which to circumvent them. Corrosive sublimate and alcohol in the proportions of GO grains of the fonn ' er to one pint of the latter is useful for treating the edges of the seams of the carpet where the pest is bad, but the poison is so deadly that great caution is required in its use, especially where babies are around. The moths deposit their eggs in the early spring. This, therefore, is the sea son to put away furs and woolen goods for tlte summer. It is not the moth, but the larvae, that does the harm. Thoroughly beat the goods with a rat tan and air them for several hours in the sunlight if possible. Wrap up in a newspaper perfectly tight. If this work is done properly there will be no need of an air-tight chest or cedar chest. Moths donot have any fear of cedar or moth balls, but they will not go through paper or cotton textiles. Indeed, a cot ton bag or other wrapping is just as good as paper. Once a month take out the goods and examine them in the sun light and give them a good beating. When the moths are not so bad, as in some seasons and local itions, this monthly inspection may not be neces sary. But this is really the fur dealers fiecret of preserving their stock. Cam phor is bad for fur, as it impairs their beauty by turning them light. Camphor may be sprinkled among the woolens, but secure wrapping in paper or cotton is good enough. The above method may be used to preserve feathers also. Good Housekeeping. A Dismayed Hostess. It was Miss Katie Rooney'a first ap pearance as table girl when company had been invited to dinner, but it was company upon whom the mistress wished to make the best impression pos sible. Katie was overflowing with rol licking Irish spirits and humor, but it had been emphatically impressed upon her that she must curb these propensi ties during the progress of the dinner, and be the embodiment of quiet dignity. All went well until Katie went to remove the soup plates when she carelessly sent a stream of soup over the back of one of the gentlemen. Instead of manifest ing the least dismay or chagrin, Katie clapped her free hand to her grinning mouth and said, with an indescribable chuckle, and in a hoarse but painfully distinct whisper to her mistress: "Ain't . Oi a dandy, mum?" Then she shot out of the dining-room, giving utterance to a wild bowl of rollicking laughter as f he ran. Detroit Free Press. WISE SAYINGS.

Southj. . . -- A TEKK0K TO RATS. An Odd Character of the Coast. Pacific IJko the Pled Piper of ltamella He Wields a Straage laflueuee Over the Rodeats His Peeallar Haslaess. A queer counterpart of the Pied Piper of Hamelin has been visiting the futaports of the" Pacific coast latelv, driving or drawing h-des of rats from the ships at the w liarves and occasion elly from the warehouses and i hotels. He seems to have a strange influence over rats and n-adily -tauu-s and makes pets of strange ruts, lie is not a ratcatcher, for, while there is no doubt of the thoroughness with which he rids a ship or a house of rats, he docs not catch them, nor does he care what becomes of them. He only undertakt-s to drive them away. More than th:s. he claims to lie able to bring the rat.s buck again, and it is said he has done this in two or three instances where a ship's captain has played him fal-. and, being rid of the rats, has failed to live up to bis bargain with the rat banner. He is. or has been, a seafaring man. His name is Joe. Peoples, though he is known along the wharves as Rough-on-Rats. Usually he has his pockets full of rata not pets of long acquaintance, but ordinary rats which he has caught recently, and which he keeps to use in Jhis peculiar business. He says there is no art about handling rats, and that tbey will not bite if properly handled, but either he exercises some strange power over the animals, or else he has learned a secret of handling them that is not likely to become common prx erty. It is the same w ith a rat as with a nettle, he says. If you pick tip a rat as though not afraid of it the animal will not bite; and if you place, it back on the ground and let it run away of its own accord it will be equally harm less. But if, having gone so far as to get hold of a rat, you place it on the floor and draw your hand away sharply, the rat will, as likely as not, take a piece of your hand away with it. At any rate, this is part of Mr. People's peculiar theories. How he drives out the rats he is will ing to explain in art, hut the main secret he naturally reserves. lie selects a lively old rat, ties a little Im-11. like a sleigh bell, with wire around its nex-k, paints its back with phospl torus, then drenches it in some liquid not divulged, and turns it loose. The rat runs through all its accustomed hauut. ln.L all its late comrades run ahead of it. They don't like its blazing back and its alarm bell. But mere than anything else, Mr. Pe ples says, they don't like the smell it brings with him. Mr. Peoples doctored rats smell like a whole cageful of ferrets. Hats jar ticularly dislike ferrets, and never stop to investigate when there is the slight est suggestion of one. leing near. Or dinary rat catdlicrs corroborate Mr. Peoples in this. The consequence is. and it is a consequence, in fact as well as in logic, that the doctored rat drives every other rat before it, and where the doctored rat has once leeu no rat will venture afterward while the smell lasts, and Mr. Peoples guarantees the smell for one year. The unfortunate rat with the. hell, its illuminated back, and its terrible smell, seeks its old friends in every hole and corner, anil wherever it goes it is the last rat that will go there in a year. Mr. Peoples says he has frequently known rats to jump overboard from a ship in their efforts to escape from a doctored rat, and many witnesses bear him out in this statement. There is no question of his success in entirely clearing a number of ships and warehouses at Seattle, Tacoina, Portland, Port Town send and other ports on the coast, which were formerly overrun w ith rats. For his claim that he can bring lKick the rats there seems to lie only Mr. Peoples word. He names two or three shiis plying up and down the. coast on which he had played his second trick. The captains told him. after the rats had all left their ships, that tJtey guessed he hadn't done much toward it and offered to compromise. Mr. Peo ples says he just doctored half a dozen rats with a different kind of medicine and set them free on these ships, and scattered some of the same kind of stuff about the holds, and he avers that in a little while there w ill tie four times as many rats ou the ships as formerly, and he will charge four times as much to charm them awav. N. Y. Sun. Polltihlair Wood. Mahogany and all polished wood of any kind is apt to become very du'l and tarnishtd. and the regul.ir opera tion of rubbing it up is not one that is dear to the average maid, yet if it is al lowed to go too long uncared for, the trouble of reviving it is endless. Thi' best and easiest way of polishing woh1 is to make a "dolly" of rags, finally tying it up tightly in a piece of soft flannel; this should be slightly sprin kled with linseed oil; over it tie a cloth rag on which put a few drops of spirits of wine; rub all the woodwork quickly with this prepared material, and pol ish quickly as you proceed with a soft silk or flannel rag. Both the oil and the spirit should be very sjiaringly ap plied, as they would otherwise mois en the wood too much and produce smears; bur if the operat ion is briskly done, according to these instructions, no polish, however elaborate, will bring about the same brightness. Detroit Free Press. How Tides Prodlet Storms. Fresh interest has recently lieen de veloped in the fact that West Indian hurricanes, and other great storms at sea, frequently produce a remarkable effect upon the tides along neighboring coasts. When a tempest is approaching, or passing out on the ocean, the tides are noticeably higher than usual, as if the water had been driven in a vast wave before the storm. The influence extends to a great distance from the cyclonic storm center, so that the pos sibility exists of foretelling the ap proach of a dangerous hurricane by means of indications furnished by tide gages situated far away from the place then occupied by the whirling w-inds-The fact that the tidal wave outstrips the advancing storm shows how ex tremely sensitive the surface of the sea is to the changes of pressure brought to bear upon it by the never-resting atmosphere.
