A blacksmith’s shop without a forge seems a novelty, indeed, but there are several in operation, declares the Chi- cago Inter-Ocean. In these shops there |is applied a patent horseshoe made of special steel which is soft enough to ermit of its being hammered and shap- ied, as far as may be necessary, without {heating. There are anvils here, and {hammers are used, so that these time- {honor accessories of the blacksmith’s shop still remain here, but there is no fire, no bellows, with a grimy, swarthy, | stalwart blacksmith swaying on the han- i with one hand, while he gently pokes the burning coal in the forge with the |other. There is no smoke here and no j | flying sparks, nor is there the long fa- {miliar odor of the burning hoof when | the hot shoe is laid up against it.

At the village of Anbar, near Erpli, close to the ancient town of Iconium, a cupies a long room that was designed | ee a ! “For some time,” observed Mr. Markham, “I have been beset by the idea of proposing to you.” He was standing with his excellently i flat back to the mantelpiece, and Miss | Greatorex was covering a silk b4ndan- na handkerchief with an opposition pattern in colored woels—why, Mr. Markham could not make out. There was no one else in the room, and, as was evident, the gentleman was dis- posed to be confidential. Miss Greatorex smiled. “And why have you not?” | “I have at times been half afraid | that you might accept,” replied the | candid young man. “At others,” he added (thoughtfully removing an al- most invisible dust speck from his sleeve), “I have been much perturbed by the possibility—that you might re- fuse.” “It would be disagreeable to be re- fused,” remarked the lady, impersonal- ly. “That,” the gentleman considered, “depends. If I was sure I wanted to marry you, it would be unquestionably disagreeable to be refused.” “And you are sure:” “No; very far indeed from being so. At times I think I should much enjoy the role of Mr.Greatorex, so to speak.” “But not always?’ “Oh, dear no!—not nearly always.” Miss Greatorex had a canary, which at this juncture began to sing with an air of the most uncontrollable merri- ment. Mr. Markham went to a neigh- boring drawer and produced thence a cloth, with which he covered the cage. “You are not sure whether you are in love with me or no?’ remarked the young lady, as the bird's indignant silence succeeded to his privious irrele- vant rhapsody. Mr. Markham came back to the man- telpiece and, having readjusted his back, he said in a low voice, and look- ing down at the very adjacent brown, bent head— “I admit I am disappointed.” She looked up rather quickly. “Bitterly. I had no idea that you could be stupid—it is evidently possi- ble. From the motion of Miss Greatorex, her head—as they would say in the old books—he implied a note of interroga- tion. “It is stupid not to have grasped the question. I have for quite a long time known that I was in love with you.” “Ever since luncheon?” “Perhaps not quite so long as that. But certainly ever since, almost ever since, Lady Greatorex left the room. The young lady laughed. “Was my mother such an instance of George Eliot's malign prophet standing behind her daughter and threatening what she will be.” “lI merely meant that the presence of a chaperon is incompatible with sentiment. “I,” observed the young woman, “do not mind admitting that I am getting confused. You now assert that for more than 20 minutes you have adored me” (Mr. Markham’s shoulders ap- peared to depreciate the exaggeration of this rhetoric), “and a moment ago you seemed much to doubt your love.” “Not at all. That is why 1 lately called you stupid.

Why is it they are so | soon replaced by plainness and lankness? It is because the young girl just | entering into womanhood does not know how to | take care of herself and has no one competent to | instruct her. It is not necessary that there should | be anything weakening or wearying about the | functions of a female organism. Parents of young girls should inform themselves and prevent their dear ones from making costly errors. That young woman has a just cause of com- .plaint, who is permitted to believe that great periodic suffering {s to be expected, that severe mysterious pains and aches are part of her | natural experience as a woman. These things | are making constant war on her health, her dis- position and her beauty. It isa wanton sacri- fice, absolutely unnecessary and cruel. It is more—it is criminal. Dr. Greene’s NERVURA for the Blood and Nerves Dr. Greene’s Nervura bloed and nerve remedy, | is the right medicine for every young girl who is just entering the first stage of womanhood. | It prepares the system in every way to act nor- mally. Tt enriches the blood supply, and keeps the nerves calm and steady. Fortified with this great medicine, all the womanly duties may be undertaken and experienced without the slight- est jeopardy to health. It preserves the gifts of | nature and assists their development into glow- | ing, healthful beauty. | Mrs. MARY FRANcEs LYTLE, of 2 Hunter | Alley, Rochester, N.

My friends hardly know me. I have gained fl and am like a different person.” The nervousness in women which invariably comes with pain is of itself certain to stop the development of beauty in face and figure. Ex- cited nerves make sharp linesand hasty speech. Gh The beautiful curves which make women so attractive are not possible when the female organism is out of order, as it surely is when discomfort and pain are always or even periodically present. It is only necessary to look in the faces of young women everywhere to see that this must be so. Else why are they so pale and thin ? GET FREE ADVICE FROM DR. GREENE Real beauty is rare.

For my part,” he continued, i “I admit it sounds, perhaps, improp- er. I merely mean that marriage as the necessary denouement of being what is called in love seems to me quite a doubtful expedient. When there is no question of being in love,” he con- tinued, relaxing himself by a short walk to the other end of the room and back, “I think marriage not a bad ar- rangement. It is then merely a form of business partnership, and now that it has ceased to be insoluble has no special terrors. But you and I have nothing to gain by that. I am exceed- ingly well off, so are you. I do not need to marry for position nor do you. We neither of us need to demand blood, like Hamlet's aunt. In fine, as they say in the ‘Arabian Nights,’ you have nothing to gain by me, and I have no material need of anything you can supply to me. Markham is just as fine a place as Greatorex abbey, and not a bit finer. When I speak of being in love it is purely a personal sensa- tion; I should like it to become chronic. I really enjoy being in love. But if we got married!” “You cannot anticipate your love standing that crucial test?” “I honestly admit that I have my doubts. We live in a straightforward age; let me make a clean breast of them. Do you, for instance, like to talk at breakfast?” “Not always. “I, never.

All the same, I should love to explain the Taj to you, and Shah Alim’s Mosque at Ahmeda- bad—oh, and the Golden Gate at San- Francisco; it is tiresome that I cannot take you there without ma rrying you.” “You could take mamma as well, and Aunt Adeliza, perhaps.” “That would be different.

Now, if we were vied,” he continued after na in- terval, “this would be my business. It would be expected of me, as it is of a hen to lay eggs, or the Prince of Wales to lay foundation stones.” “And then it would cease to please?” “It would then become detestable, and often lately I have pictured my- self as riding home in the deepening | dusk of a winter's afternoon frown | hunting either with you by my side or to find you waiting for me at home.

I have never definitely asked you to be my husband.” “No,” he admitted very handsomely. “I remember that I have admired you for not pushing your advantage. Any day within the last week you might have suggested it, and Heaven alone knows whether I should have refused: It is very improbable that I should have been sutliciently firm.” “You almost tempt me to fry.” Mr. Markham raised his hand. “Wait,” he cried. “Do let us finish this most interesting conversation. What I would wish to express is this, that marriage when: one is really in love seems to me to vulgarize the situ- ation. It makes, to use the familiar expression, a business of a pleasure.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought- less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children algo. When the young girl's theughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep. pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkham’s efficient advice to young women. Miss Good asks Mrs. Pinkham for Help. - : June 12th, 1899. ‘DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM :—I have been very much bothered for some time with my monthly periods being irregular.” I will tell you all about it, and put myself in your care, for I have heard so much of you. Each month menstruation would become less and less, until it entirely stopped for six months I now it has stopped again. TI have become very ner- vous and of a vad color. Iam a Young girl and have always had to — work very hard. I would be very much pleased if you would tell me what to do.”—Miss PEARL Goop, Cor. 20th Avenue and Yeslar Way, Seattle, Wash. The Happy Resuit. February 10th, 1900. ‘‘ DEAR MRS. PINkHAM :—I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham’'s Vegetable ( ompound enough. t is just simiply wonderful the change vour medicine has made in me. I feel like another person. work is now a pleasure to me, while before using your medicine it was a burden. To-day I am a healthy and happy girl. I think if more women would use your Vegetable Compound there would be less suffering in the world. I cannot express the relief I have experienced by using Lydia E. Pink= ham’s Vegetabie Compound.’”’—Miss PEARL Goo, Cor. 20th Avenue and Yeslar Way, Seattle, Wash. act that some skeptical time to time questioned f the testimonial letters tly publishing, we have Bank, of Torn Mass., $5,000, y person wh n shew that the dbove or was published before obtaining the —Lyp1a E.
