The Youns Lady Workers of the Thousands of men in lonely homes call up the pictures of the loved and lost ones, who might still be happy husbands, with healthy babies prattling at their knees, if they had onlv been a little more observant ana thoughtful. When a woman' com plexion gets pale and sallow and her eyes look heavy; when she is evidently nervous and despondent, and complains of pains and aches and dragging down and burning sensations; a wise man should know that she is suffering from weakness or disease in a womanly way. The thoughtful man who realizes this will at once advise his wife to consult some eminent and skillful special ist. He will know that the average physi cian will insist upon the obnoxious exam inations nd local treatment so embarrass ing to modest, sensitive women. He should know that theBe ordeals are unnecessary. Dr. R. V. Pierce is an eminent and skillful specialist, who has been for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inttltute, at Buffalo, N. Y, During thut time," with the assist, ance of a staff of able physicfaus, he lias prescribed for many thousands of worn. en. He is the inventor of a wonderful medicine for the special weaknesses of women, that cures in the privacy of the home. It U known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes the drlicr k and .important organs that bear the bi ens of maternity strong, healthy and vl' fous. It corrects all irregularities and stops all de bilitating drains.

Whnt nn Englishman Thinks of the Lehigh Valley's I'iiiuoiis Train. The London Times has just begun the publication of a series ot articles on the practical operating of American railways, nnd Its opening chapter, which ha to do with the subjects of "speed and punctuality," cannot fall to prove of flattering Interest to the officers nnd men, as well as the pa trons, of the great roads In the United States. The writer Is anonymous, ns corre spondents of the Times nlmost Invari ably are, but It Is evident that he I a clear-headed, practical Englishman, who Is thoroughly conversant with his subject from long experience at home. His admiration for our very high speeds is outspoken, ns he compares the English speed with them with tho acknowledgment that the latter are made with much lighter trains; and ns for our railway hublt of punctuality, he cannot too highly praise It. The United States, it seems, has 180,000 miles of railway, nine times that of England, yet In England there are more miles of double track. The correspondent was given the privilege of riding on the engines on most of the roads in this country. After describing his trip on the famous European express nn the New York Central railroad from New York to Buffalo he says: "I returned from Buffnlo to New York by another famous train, the 'Black Diamond' express of the Lehigh Valley company, one of the so-called 'coaler' roads, which serves the an thracite regions' of Pennsylvania. It was rather a shock to my Englloh Ideas to be presented by the conductor to the driver ns 'a man who has got leavo to come on your engine.' But the genial reception of the 'engineer,' who, pulling off his gloves, shook tne warmly by the hand and gave me his visiting card, at once consoled me. In this case the time allowed was 9 hours 3S minuter, but the distance Is seven nnd one-half miles further than by the New York Central. There are eleven Intermediate stops, as against four, nnd the line, Instead of following the level valleys of the Hudson and the Mo hawk, has to climb over three sum mints of !)24, 1,141 and 1.7&9 feet, respec tively. The weight of the train was 1C5 tons, except for about 100 miles, during which the nddltlon of nil ex tra Pullman car brought It well over 200 tons. We were five mlnutea late in starting, and before we had gone very far we were stopped by an axle box on the Pullman car heating. The natural result was that we reached Geneva, about 100 miles from Buffnlo, 12 minutes late. Thence to Snyre, 72,2 miles, we were timed to take SC min utes, but we covered the distance in 74, and also came In exactly on time. I had timed twenty miles in different places done at speed of from 72 to .SO miles nn hour. But our mlsfortunea were not yet at an end. "Soon after leaving Snyre we were brought up short by a bioken-down freight train, two of whose cars had got off the track and blocked both lines. Evidently American railway men are experts in dealing with 'wrecks.' It was most Interesting to see how quickly a rope was brought, one end of It fastened to the wrecked cars, then the other end tun through, a snatch-block made fast to a conveni ently ndjacent tree, and thence car ried to the locomotive. A gentle pull by the engine, nnd the cars fell over on their sides Into the ditch, and our rond was clear again; but wo were 33 minutes lute at our next stopping place. "Then we set to work again to re cover our lost ground, till, finally, we reached Jersey City only fifteen min utes late. We had come in the- lust 77 miles from Easton In 7G minutes, as against ninety allowed In the time book, nnd we had stopped nt two Im portant Intermediate stations. Swin don to Paddlngton Is also 77 miles, and nn even more level road. But the Great Western trains nnd no line In England runs finer expresses are al lowed 87 minutes for the through run to Paddlngton, and never less tljan 110 minutes If they have to call at Dldeot and Reading. The reul comparison, however, to the 'Black Diamond' should be made with the best Midland express to Perth. Like the Midland, the Le high Vnlley has heavier grades th'an Its rivals; like tho Midland, It runs through a d Istrlct congested with heavy coal and Iron traflle; but, unlike the Midland, it has a long stretch of single line. The Mldland'd distance Is 7Va miles further, nnd there are 17 In termediate stops, as ngolnst 11. A handsome allowance for the extra stops would bo 45 minutes; but the extra tlmo allowed the Mldlund Is, In fact, over two hours." Not Piirtioiilni. Mlstress-"Oh, Bridget, Bridget! What nn uwfu! numbskull you are! You've put the potatoes on tho tablo with tho skins on, right In front of our visitors, too. You you what shall I call you?" Bridget (affably) "Call mo 'Agnes," It yo lolke, mum: 'tis me other name." Now York World. BEST RAILR0A0 TIME TABLES PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Schedule In liffect Nov. aS, 1897.
