Toster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. Japan's Pensions. According to a statement made by Baron Takahashi, before sailing from New York last week. the Japanese Government proposes to recognize the service of its soldiers and sailors in a most marked manner. Japan al- ready has a pension system which pro- vides for the disabled and for thé wid- ows and orphans, but it is proposed to go much farther. The proposition is to distribute a bonus in addition to the regular pensions of $75,000,000 in bonds to the soldiers and sailors who tock part in the war with Russia. Both officers and men are to share in the distribution, partly in accordance with rank and partly in accordance with the degree of meritorious service. In this way the men who fought the war through (0 a successful termination will become to some extent bond- holders, and will have an additional interest in the general prosperity of the country. That the Government feels able to take this step is another indication of the confidence that is felt in the future of Japan. - Cost Exceeds Receipts.

This amount of mail weighs less than 20 pounds and would about fill a bushel basket. Only 20 letters and postal cards and two pieces of other mail are collected, weighing about two pounds. The average route costs the Post Office nearly $50 a’ month, and pays only a little more than $10 for business orig- inating on it.

It is a sad but certain fact that Fevery year brings an in- crease in the numberofopera- tions performed upon women in our hospitals. Morethan three- @ fourths of the p patients lying . Zon those snow- oe rots are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera- tions made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvie catarrh, dizziness, flatulency, displacements or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy con- dition of the female organs, and if not heeded the trouble may make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— ‘About two years ago I was a great suf- ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. 1 felt that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds ef dollars for medical help but the tunior kept growing. Fortunately 1 corresponded with an aunt intheNew England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkhain’s Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. 1did so and immediately began to improve in health,and I was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, with- out an operation. wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation.” Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Finkha Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from fe- male troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous excitability or ner- vous prostration.

How the “Fiddler” Folds Up for His Long Winter Sleep. One of the most interesting mem- bers of the crab family is the queer and grotesque little ‘‘fiddler,”” which lives in burrows in the banks of creeks and estuaries back of the beach. Into these burrowe the crab retires in autumn and composes itself for a long winter sleep. The eye stalks are then tolded down into sockets beneath the shell, and the large claw rests closed and inert ggainst the body, while the legs are folded up until the entire ani- mal is snugly closed upon itself, and it remains in this dormant condition until the spring. Early in April the ‘fiddlers’ awaken and immediately at- tend to clearing out their burrows. The large claw is useless for eating, only the small one being available for this purpose. It is amusing to see the delicacy with which this little claw feels about and picks up the particles of vegetable matter and places them in the mouth, while the eyes are all the time raised aloft on their stalks and apparently looking off into the distance. The female crabs have both claws small and of equal size, so they are both used in feeding, and she can satisfy her hunger just twice as easily and quickly as the male. These ‘fid- dler” crabs also gather food and store it in the burrows for future use. FITS permanently cured.

Several scales have been signed that provide for higher wages after this month, and the general prosperity of the winter is believed to assure a very large retail trade in spring wearing apparel.
