THREE EPOCHS IN A WOMAN'S LIFE MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There are three critical stagesin a ‘avoman’s life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. i Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these im- portant crises. Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has repared mothers for childbirth, and n later years carried them safely through the change of life more suc- cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons. two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, J11. writes ¢ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “I feel it my duty to tell you of the geod | Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable has done me in preparing for chlldbirth. After suffering and losing my children a friend advised 1 me to try vour valuabie me- dicine, and the result was that Ihad very little inconvenience, a quick rccovery and Compound MRS.

When high waters cover the bottoms along the Mississippi bear and deer and other wild animals have been known to seek the highest point and with water completely surrounding them lose all fear of man, or at least be- come indifferent to his presence. In some instances they have seemed to welcome man’s approach, seemingly feeling that he would be able to pro: tect them. BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered Face and Feet—\Vould Cry Until Tired Out—=Speedy Cure by Cuticura. “My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, es- pecially nights. They would cause her to be broken of her rest. and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuficura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was no- ticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. 1 also .uszed it to remove what is known as ‘cradle cap’ from her head. and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, ds it takes out th: inflarsnmation at once. Per- haps this may be the means of helping other sufiering babies.

Absorb- ent cotion may be soaked in the oil and applied. If the skin is broken a little boric acid should be applied over . the abrasion. A black eye thus treat- ed can be rendered normal in a few hours, especially if the oil be applied warm. He 1e Died Anyhow. This was the way: a native physi- ian in India filled out a death certifi- pte: “I am of a mind that he died or lost his life) for want of foodlings pr on account of starvation; maybe al- so for other things for comfortables, and most probably he died by drown- ing.” DON'T DESPAIR.

If we returned to the old copper drinking vessels of our fore- fathers, typhoid epidemics would dis- appear.” The speaker, a filtration expert, took a copper cent from his pocket. “Examine this cent under the mi- croscope,” he said, “and you will find it altogether free from disease germs. Examine gold and silver coins, and you will find then) one wriggling and contorting mass. Yet copper coins pass through dirtier hands than gold and silver ones. . You'd thipk they ought to be alive with micro-organ- isms. But, no. Copper kills germs. Diphtheria and cholera cultures smeared on a copper cent die in less than two hours. “They have many cholera epidemics in China, but certain towns are al- ways immune. These towns keep their drinking water in great copper vessels. Travelers have tried to buy these vessels, for they are beautiful but the villagers will not sell them. They have a superstitution that their health and welfare depend on their retention. I wish all superstitions were as true and salutary as that.”— Philadelphia Bulletin.

Agricultural pursuits may be the one passion of his life, but clad in these garments he feels in such surroundings miserable, out of place, essentially urban. Clothe him con- versely in flannels or kuaickers and place him in a church and it is ut- terly impossible for him to assume a fittingly devotionable “frame of mind. Unlimited autocracy itself cannot im- pose sugh tyrannies on the subject. Civilization is the slave of its clothes, and there is no prospect of freedom:— London Graphic. Decline of the Drinking Habit. Almost nothing else affords so strik- ing an evidence of the moral immprove- ment of the American people as the decline of drunkenness and of drink- ing. How great has been this decline only persons of advanced years can fully realize.” "Whether this is an ef- fect of the preaching of temperance or a logical result of experience, or the spread of habits of industry and thrift or of all these influences, is not ap- parent, but the important thing is the fact itself. —Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Astronomers long since came to the conclusion that the moon's surface is very hot during the height of the lun- ar day, which, as will be remembered lasts two weeks, and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long.

In these days of electric lights, with all their capabilities for brilliant il- Iuminaton, it is amusing to read what the subjects of George II. called a dazzling effect. A Frenchman, visiting in London at the time of the corona- tion of that monarch in 1727. writes enthusiastically in praise of the light- ing cf the city, as well as of a ban- quet display. “Most of the streets,” writes Mon- sieur Saussure, “are wonderfully well lighted. In front of each house hangs a lantern or large globe of in- side of which is placed a lamp which burns all night. Large houses have two of these, suspended outside the doors by iron supports. Some even have four.” How one arc light, exclaims Youth’s Companion, would have zled the good people of that day! “When the coronation entered Westminster hall,” the writer continues, “the light of day was he- ginning to fade. Forty chandeliers, in shape like a «c¢rown, hung from the ceiling, each having thirty-six wax candles. ‘On the King's appearance all sud- denly lighted, and everyone in the room was filled with astonishment at the wonderful and unexpected illumi- nation. Little cords of/ cotton wool, imperceptible to the eve, saturated with sulphur or saltpeter, spirits of wine and other ingredients, had been prepared and arranged so as to carry the flame rapidly from one candle to another. The arrangement had been so skillfully prepared that scarcely a candle failed to take fire.” Maid Coached Mistress, Owing to the sudden illness of one of her servants the mistress of a country house in a New England vil as a waitress the daughter of one of the neighboring farmers. That thers was any socia} inequality between servant and mistress never struck the new waitress, as was made plain the first evening at dinner. There was a dish of olives in front of the mistress which she allowed to remain as they were until the hastily coached waitress should ' have had time to serve them.
