WHY MRS. PINKHAM
Is Able to Help Rick "Women
When Doctors Fail.
IIow pladly would men fly to wo
man's aid did they but understand a
woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities,
and peculiar organic disturbances.
Those things are known only to
women, and the aid a man would give
is not at his command.
To treat a case properly it is neces
KRiy to know all about it, and full
information, many times, cannot be
eiven by a woman to her family phy-
Mrs. O. H. CaarriLu
Ician. She cannot bring herself to
tell everything, and the physician is
at a constant disadvantage. This is
why, for the past twenty-flve years,
thousands of women have been con
fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham,
and whose advice has brought happi
ness and health to countless women in
the United States
Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, 111.,
whose portrait we publish, advises all
suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink
ham's advice and use Lydiu E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, as they
cured her of inflammation of the ovaries
and wotab ; she. therefore, speaks from
knowledge, and her experience ought
to give others confidence. Mrs. Pink

ESTIMATING CHARACTER.
Rev. Dr. Talmage Says the Divine Way
Differs From tbe Human Way.
The America! Nstloi Pat lot the Royal
Balaac - "The Lord Welf hcth
tbe Spirits."
tCoprrlsht IPrl.t
Wasihnoto, D. C. In this diseours
from a symbol of the Bible Dr. Talmage
urges the adoption of an unusual mode of
estimating character and shows how dif
ferent is the divine way from the human
way- text. Proverbs xvi, 2, "The Lord
wcigheth the spirits."
The subject of weights and measures Is
discussed among all nations, is the subject
of legislation, and has much to do with
the world's prosperity. A system of
weights and measures was invented by
Phidon, ruler of Argos, about 800 years be
fore Christ. An ounce, a pound, a ton,
yre different in different lands. Henry
III. decided that an ounce should be the
weight of 640 dried grains of wheat from
the middle of the ear. From the reign of
William the Conqueror to Henry VII I.
the English pound was the weight of 7880
grains of wheat. Queen Klir.aheth desreed
that a pound should be 7000 grains of
wheat taken from the middle of the ear.
The piece of platinum kept at the office
of the exchequer in England in an atmos
phere of sixty-two degrees F. decides for
all Great Britain what a pound must be.
Scientific representatives from all lands
met in 1869 in Paris and established inter
national standards of weights and meas
ure. You all know something of avoirdupois
weight, of apothecaries' weight, of troy
weight. Yon are familiar with the differ
ent kinds of weighing machines, whether
a Koman balance, which is our stcclynrd,
or the more usunl instrument consisting
of a beam supported in the middle, having
two basins of equal weight suspended to
the extremities, pcale have been invented
to weigh substances huge, like mountains,
and others delicate enough to weigh infi
nitesimals. But in all the universe, there
has only been one balance that could
weigh thoughts, emotions, affections, ha
treds, ambitions. That balance was fash
ioned by an Almighty God. and is hung up
for perpetual service. "The Lord weigh
eth the spirits."
The drine weigher puts into the bal
ance the spirit of charity and decides how
much of it really exists. It may go for
nothing at all. It may be that it says to
the unfortunate, "Take this and do not
bother ine any more." It may be an occa
sional impulse. It may depend upon the
condition of the liver or the style of
breakfast partaken of a little while before.
It may be called forth by the loveliness of
the solicitor. It may be exercised in spirit
of rivalry, which practically says, My
neighbor has given so much; therefore I
must give as much." It is accidental or
occasional or spasmodic. When such a
spirit of charirv is put into the balance
and weighed, God and men and angels
look on and say there is nothing of it.
It does not weigh so much as a dram,
which is only the one-eighth port of an
ounee, or a scruple, which is only the
twenty-fourth part of an ounce. A man
may give his hundreds and thousands of
dollars with such feelings and amid such
circumstances, and he will get no heavenly
recognition.
But into the divine scales another
man's charity is placed. It starts from
love of God and man. It is born in heav
en. It is a lifelong characteristic It may
have a million dollars or a penury to be
stow, but the manner in which that giver
bestows it shows that it is a divinely im
planted principle. '
The one penny given may, considering
the limited circumstances, attract as much
angelic and heavenly attention as though
the check given in charity was so large it
staggered the cashier of the bank to cash
it. It is not the amount given, but the
spirit with which it is given. "The Lord
weigheth the spirits."
Perhaps no one but God heard that good
man's resolutions, but it amounted about
to this: "From this present moment to my
last moment on earth, God helping me, I
will do all I can to make the world a
purer world, a better world, a happier
world." But the resolution shines out in
his face, sweetens his conversation, en
larges his nature, controls his life and
shows itself as plainly in the contribution
of $1 as though lie had the means to con
tribute $500,000.
When that charity is put into the royal
balance, the heavens watch the weighing
and invisible choirs chant from the clouds,
and 1 catch one bar of the music "Now
abideth faith, hope, charity these three;
but the greatest of these is charity."
So also in tho celestial scales is placed
the spirit of faith. In most cases faith de
pends on whether or not the sun shines
and the man hsd sound sleep last night,
and whether the first person he meets in
the morning tells him something agreeable
or disagreeable. Some day the sales in his
store do not amount to sd much as he ex
pected, and he goes home with enough
complaints to fill the house as soon as he
enters it. Another day the sales are twen
ty or forty per cent, larger than usual, and
as he is putting the key into the door lock
his family hear him whistling a tune most
i'ubilant. He has faith that everything in
lis own affairs and in the affairs of church
and state are tending toward better condi
tions until something depressing happens
in his own personal experiences or uuder
his own observation.
But there is another man who by re
pentance and prayer has put himself into
alliance with the Almighty God. Made all
right by the Saviour's grace, this man goes
to work to mskethe world straight. He says
to himself: "God luuched this world, and
He never launched a failure. The Garden
of Eden was a useless morass compared
with what the whole world will be when
it blossoms and leaves and flashes and re
sounds with its coming glory. God will
save it anyhow, with me or without me,
but I want to do my share. 1 have some
equipment, not as much as some others,
but what I have I will use. I have power'
to frown, and I will frown upon iniquity.
I have power to smile, and I will smile
encouragement upon all the struggling. I
huve a vocabulary not so opulent as the
vocabulary of some others, but I have a
storehouse of good wordB, and I mean to
scatter them in helpfulness. I will ascribe
right motives to others when it is possible.
Ill can say anything good about others, I
will say it. If I can say nothing but evil
of them, I will keep my lips shut as tight
as the lips of the Sphinx, which for 3U00
years has looked off upon the sands of the
desert and uttered not one word about the
desolation. The scheme of reconstructing
this world is too great for me to manage,
but I am not expected to boss this job. I
have faith to believe that the plan is well
laid out and will be well executed. Give
me a brick and a trowel, and I. will begin
now to help tuild the wall. I am not a
soloist, but 1 can sing 'Rock of Ages' to a
sick pauper. I cannot write a great book,
but I can pick a cinder out of a child's eye
or a splinter from under his thumb nail.
I now enlist in this army that is going to
tuke the world for God, and I defy all the
evil powers, human and sutauic, to discour
age me. Count me into the service. I can
not play upon a musical instrument, but I
can polish a cornet or string a harp or ap
plaud the orchestra."
All through that man's experience there
runs a faith that will keep him cheerful
and busy and triumphant. I like the
watchword of Cromwell's "Ironsides," the
men who feared nothing and dared every
thing, going into the battle with the shout:
"The Lord of hosts is with us. The God
of Jacob is our refuge, Sehth!" No bal
ance that huiuau bruiu ever planned or
hiiintn hand ever constructed is worthy
of weighing such a spirit. Gold and pre
cious stones are measured by the carat,
which is four grains. The dealer puts the
diamond or the pearl on one side of the
scales and the carat on the other, and tells
you the weight. But we need something
more delicately constructed to weigh that
wonderful quality of faith which I am glad
to know will be recognised and rewarded
for all time aud all eternity.
The earthly weighman counterpoises on
metallic balances the iron, the coal, the ar
ticles of human food, the solids of earthly
merchandise, but he cannot test or an
nounce the amount of things spiritual.
. .Put also into those royal scales the am
bitious spirit, livery healthy man snd
woman has ambition. The luck of it is a
Sure sun r ilium or unmornlit- . The
only question is, What shall be" tbe style
of our ambition! To stack up a stupen
dous fortune, to acquire a resounding
name, to sweep everything we can reach
into the whirlpool of our own selfishness
that is debasing, ruinous and deathful. If
in such a spirit we get what we start for,
we only secure gigantio discontent. No
man was ever made happy by what he got.
It all depends upon the spirit with which
we get it and the spirit with which we
keep it and the spirit with which we dis
tribute it. Not since the world stood has
there been any instance of complete hap
piness from the amount of accumulation.
Give the man f worldly ambition sixty
years of brilliant successes. He sought for
renown, and the nations speak his name;
he sought for affluence, and he is put to
hi wits', end to find out the best .stocks
and bonds In which he may make his in
vestments; he is director in enough banks
and trustee in enough institutions and
president of enough companies to bring on
paresis, of which he is now dying. The
royal balances are lifted to weigh the am
bition which has controlled him a lifetime.
What was tho worth of that ambition?
How much did it yield for usefulness and
heaven? Less than a scruple, less than a
grain of sand, less than an atom, less than
nothing. Have a funeral a mile long with
carriages; let the richest robes of ecclesi
astics rustle about the casket; carrcature
the srene bv choirs which chant "Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord." That
.man's life is a failure, and if his heirs
scuffle in the Surrogate's court about the
incapacity of the testator to make a lost
will and testament it will only be a pro
longation of the failure. The son, through
dissipation, spent his share of the fortune
before the father died, and so was cut off
with a dollar; tbe damhter married against
his will, and she is disinherited; relatives
whom he could never bear the sight of
will put in their claim, and after year of
litigation so much of the estate a the law
yers have not appropriated to themselves
will go into hands which the testator
never once thought of when in his last
days he bad. tearful farewells to the
houses and lands and government securi
ties he could not take along with him into
the sepulcher.
1 I do not know the intermediate chapters
of the volume of that young man's life,
but I know the first chapter and the lost
chapter. The first chapter is made of high
resolve in tho strength of God. and the
last chapter is filled with the rewards of t
noble ambition. As his obsequies pass out
to the cemetery the poor will weep because
thev will lose their best friend.
Many in whose temporal welfare and
eternal salvation he bore a part will hear oi
it in various places and eulogise his mem
ory, and God will say to the ascending
spirit, "To him that overcometh will 1
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in
the midst of the paradise of God." In the
hour of that soul's release and enthrone
ment there will be heavenly acclamation
as in the royal balances "the Lord weigh
eth the spirits." 4
But if our character and behavior as
nation are reversed and good morals give
place to loose living and God is put away
from our hearts, and our schools snd our
homes and our people and our literature
be debauched, and anarchism and athe
ism have full sway, snd our American
Sabbath becomes a Parisian Snbbath, and
infamous laws get a place on our statute
books, and the marriage relation becomes
a joke instead of a sanctity, and the God
to whom Columbus prayed to on the day
of his landing from stormy seas and whom
Benjamin Franklin publicly reverenced
when he moved, amid derisive cries, the
remilar opening of the. American Congress
with prayer, shall in our national future
be insulted and blasphemed, then it will
not be long before we will need another
Edward Gibbon to write the decline and
fall of the United States republic, and it
will not be another case of destruction by
the Goths and Huns and Tartars and Tarn
erlanes and Attilas or foreign opposition
and hate, but it will be a case of world as
tounding national suicide.
The wish of this sermon is to empha
size the invisible, to show that there are
other balances besides those made of brass
and platinum and aluminium and set in
earthly storehouses; that the spirit is the
most important part of us; that the scales
which weigh your body are not as impor
tant as the scales which weigh your soul.
Depend not too much for happiness upon
the visible. Pyrrhus was king and had
larne dominion, hut was determined to
make war against the Romans, arid Cineas,
the friend of the king, said to him, "Sir,
when you have conouered them what will
vou do next?" "Then Sicily is near at
hand and easy to master." "And what
when vou have conquered Sicity?" "Then
we will puss over to Africa and take Car
thage, which cannot long withstand us."
"When these are conquered, what will you
next attempt?" "Then we will fall in
upon Greece and Macedonia and recover
what we have lost there." "Well, when
all are subdued what fruit do you expect
from all vour victories?" "Then," said
the king, ''we will sit down and enjoy our
selves." "Sir." said Cineas, "may we not
do it now? Have you not already a king
dom of your own? And he that cannot
enjoy himself with a kingdom cannot with
the whole world."
I say to you who love the Lord tho
kingdom is within you. Make more of the
invisible conquests; study a peace which
the world has no bushel to measure, no
steelyards to weigh. As far as possible
we should make our balances like to the
divine balances.
What a world this will be when it is
weighed after its regeneration shall have
taken place I Scientists now guess at the
number of tons our world weighs, and they
put the Apennines and the Sierra Nevada
and Cliimborazo and the Himalayas in the
scales, bnt if . weighed as to its morals at
the present time in the royal balance tbe
heaviest things would be the wars, the
international hatreds, the crimes mountain
high, the moral disasters that stagger the
hemispheres on their way through immen
sity. But when the gospel has gardenired
the earth, ns it will yet gardenise it, and
the atmosphere shall be universal balm,
and the soil sholl produce universal har
vest and fruitage, and the last cavalry
horse shall go unsaddled, and the last gun
carriage unwhceled, and the lost fortress
turned into a museum to show nations in
pesce what a horrid thing war once was,
then the world will be weighed, and aa
the opposite side of the scales lift aa
though it was light ss a feather the right
side of the scales will come down, weigh
ing mora than all else, those tremendous
values that St. Peter enumerated faith,
virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience,
godliness, brotherly kindness, charity.
God forbid that it should ever be writ
ten concerning us as individuals or com
munities or nations, as it was written on
the wall of Belshaxxar's banqueting hall
the hour when Daniel impeached the mon
arch and translated the fiery words which
blanched the cheeks of the reveler and
made them drop their chalice brimming
with wine. "Thou art weighed in the bal
ances and fo-nd wanting."

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Otscral Trass Ceailtloas.
New York (Special). R. G. Dun's
"Weekly Review oi Trade" says:
"Crops continue in the main favorable,
ind ease in the money market returned
to encourage business enterprises,
which looked aghast at the collapse of
itock speculation. The talmer tone in
securities la welcomed in all directions.
As against the favorable developments
referred to there is but one adverse
factor, and the labor disturbances rh
several quarters are not considered
likely to be a iong-continued drawback
and prsmtw not to very generally af
fect the trades involved.
"Less urgency for early delivery of
iron and steel products was reported at
manufacturing centres. With mills as
sured of activity beyond the middle of
the year and some uncertainty regard
ing the labor organizations' sttitude on
the wage schedule, there is a disposi
tion to let new engagements wait as
long as possible.
"Both wheat and corn continue to
sell at more than 10 cents a bushel
above the price at this date last year,
and the fluctuations in speculative op
tions sre much wider. Contracts in
May corn have been closed at phenom
enal prices, owing to clever manipula
tion at Chicago, and next crop options
are sustained beyond the prices war
ranted by encouraging crop reports.
"Failures for the week numbered 177
in the United States against 177 last
year and 19 in Canada against 30 last
year."
Bradstreet's financial review says:
"All through this week the stock
market has been experiencing various
stages which usually follow a condition
of panic like that which existed ten days
ago. The volume of transactions has
fallen off sharply and only became com
paratively active when heavy liquida
tion was in progress, as was the case on
Tuesday. The public has become sold
out and has little appetite for specula
tion, and Wall street has been adjust
ing losses and the other complications
which resulted from the severe and
swift decline. There is buying of good
stocks by investors on what have
seemed to be favorable terms, but these
are outright purchases, and even the
news which met the street on Wednes
day that a substantial settlement of
differences had been made between the
parties to the Northern Pacific contest
failed to stipulate speculation. The
street is again bullish in sentiment."

"THE NEW KING COLE."
Old King Cole was a merry eld soul,
And a merry old soul was hc
Jle called lor his pipe but inttead nl a (last
He called for LION COF FEE.
For Old King Cole wai a shrewd old soul
And he couldn't be tooled on brands,
"LION" ot his vote, for it has no co.it
On its merits alone it stands.
Old King Cole had a wise old poll
And a wise old poll had he,
lie ate and he drank (oods ol highest rank
So he lavored LION COF FEE.
And he knew 'twas belt, hy a varied Uif
That millions ol homes it pleased.
LION COFFEE grand was the only bland
That his appetite appeased.
II Old King Cole could have control
Today oi the public mind,
No Coffee brand but the "LION" grand
On the market we could find.
And tlie LION heads whose value spreads
Satisfaction through the land,
Would be bringing grist from the Premium list
Given with tbe LION brandl
