No woman can suffer in this way and be a healthy, happy, amiable wife and a compe tent mother Troubles of this nature sap the strength, rack the nerves, paint lints of suffering upon the face, destroy the tem per, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish, and trans, form a vivacious woman into a weak, sickly invalid.

SOME RELIGIOUS STATISTICS.. lucrcnso in the Number of Churches nnd Preachers in Ihc United Stntes in Ten Years. Fiom the Sen. Tho United States Is the onlv coun tiy In which an ollleial census omits matters relating to the lellglous belief of tho Inhabitants. In every European countiy, In Canada, South America, India, and Austialla, when a census Is taken by governmental or local attthoi- Ity, Inquiry Is made Into tho lellglous belief of the Inhabitants, and the cus tom Is unlveisal to ascribe to tho minor chlldien of a family the lellglous creed of tho paients or guardians. In the United States, however, the antipathy to any admKtuio of lellglous with sec ular matteis has always served as a bar against inquiries by census offic ials on religious matteis, and the near est appioach to such Information lias tome, theiefoie, fiom statistics of chuieh sittings Theie is kept, too, but not by any ollleial authoilty, a iccord of the number of mlnlsteis ot each lellglous denomination, and a comparison of the flguies for the last few- years is Inteiestlng as showing the changes which aie going on In the vailous denominations. Ten years ago there vvete In the United States 38,322 Raptlst chinches and 23,377 Raptlst cleigymen. Theie nre now 4",S0- Raptlst chinches nnd 31,372 Raptlst cleigymen. Ten yenis ago there were In the United States 4S.2C3 Methodist churches nnd 2S.073 clergymen of the Methodist creed Theie nie now ri2.23fl Slcthodlst chinches and 8.1,001 Methodist clergy men. Theie nie thliteen sub-divisions of Ametlcan Raptlsts and froventeen ot American Methodists, but for put poses of ordinary computation they aie spoken of as Methodists and Raptlsts collectively. Ten jears ago theie weie In tho United Stntes 0 910 Catholic chuiches and 7.03S Catholic tleigymen. Theie nie now 12,027 Catholic cliurches and 9,908 Catholic clergymen. Ten eais ngo theie wore 7.992 Lutheran churches and 4,213 Lutheran clergy men. There aie now 9,491 of tho for mer and 5.C&3 of the latter, tho ln ciease being due in consldeiable meas uip to tho laige and steady emlgiatlon fiom noith Gut many and Scandinavian countiles to the United States Ten oais ago there weie lotuined In the United States 3C9 Jewish synagogues and 303 rabbis occupying pulpits In Jewish synagogues. Theionienow le turned TilS svnngogues and 290 tabbls. though obviously the latter Is much too low, and the dlspaislty ailses fiom the fact that theie are a consider able number of l'abbls who do not ap pear in the chinch leeords as such, as they also follow other put suits. Ten years auo there were In tho United States 12,437 Piesbtetlan thurchesand 9,034 Presbyteilnn mlnlsteis Ry the last flguies at hand there weie 14,330 Presbyterian chutches and 13,170 Pies byteiian clergymen. Ton years ago theie were 3,540 Episcopal chinches and 1.139 Episcopal cleigymen In the United States. There ate now C 979 ot the former and 4.3S0 of tho latter. All lellglous oiganlzatlons In the United States have giown In mombn- shlp nnd church accommodations dur ing the last ten years, but the gain, as tho figures show, has been somewhat unevenly distributed.
