Their May: Day Breakfast,
It seems that the May Day break-
fast still is put upon the table annu-
ally in several Massachusetts towns,
sometimes as early as 5 o'¢lock in the
morning, while church bells ring to
announce that it is served. Men, wo-
men and children flock to the “town
hall” to start the day by eating of
it, and afterward go about their plea-
sures and duties depressed in mind or
cheered in all their viewpoints, ac-
cording to the wisdom or lack of it
they have shown in appreciating the
meal. The breakfast, if prepared by
the rule that established it here,
should consist of broiled Connecticut
river shad, turkey and chicken, roast-
ed, broiled, or made into a pie. But
the menu has been varied much
through adaptation to localities and
appetites, and has become now a list
of any half dozen of the thousand
and one dishes that the New England
‘er-with his liberal notions on the sub-
ject considers suitable for the first
meal of the day.-—Boston Transcript

Oldest of Implements.
The hammer, besides being a tool
of universal use, is probally the old-
est representative of a mechanic's
tool kit. Tht hammer was originally
a stone fastened to a handle with
thongs, and
weapon as a tool. Hammers are
represented on the monuments of
Igypt 20 centuries before our era.
They greatly resemble the hammer
now in use, save that there were no
claws on the back for the extraction
of nails. Claw hammers were in-
vented some time during the middle
ages. Illuminated manuscripts 'of tha
eleventh century represent carpen-
ters with claw hammers. Hammers
are of all sizes, from the dainty in-
struments used by the jeweler, which
weigh less than half an ounce, to the
gigantic 50-ton hammer of shipbuild-
ing estabiishments, some of which
have a falling force of from 90 to
100 tons. Every trade has its own
hammer and its own way of using it.

—Cuticura Cured Him.
“Ever since the time I grew into man-
hood I have been suffering from a dry erup-
tion which at times appeared very exten-
sively, and at other times, but to a limited
degree, on my body. I consulted a number
of medical men without result, and last
January I was affected with a terrible
eruption on my hands, scalp, and face,
which was so bad that I could not even
leave the house, so I finally resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies. So far they represent
an outlay of only a few dollars and I am
completely restored to health, while for-
merly I had spent dollars upon dollars on
doctors, remedies and ointments without
getting cured. The Cuticura Remedies rep-
resent a perfect miracle. Henry E. Kamp-

Tired Nervous Women ;
Make Unhappy Homes
MRSNELLIE MAKHAM
A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of hysterics, is a'source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence. and unhappy and mis-
erable herself.
Suchs women mot only drive hus-
“bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children,
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
tion, nervous despondency; the
‘‘blues”, sleeplessness, and
irritability of women arise from some
organic derangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability ? Do yom suffer
“from.pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing - -down pains,nervous
‘dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
"_eontinunally cross. and snappy? If so,
your. .nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.

"cs. Pinkham’s Invitation to Womens
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
communicate promptly with Mrs
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. From the
symptoms given, the trouble may be
located and the quickest and surest
way of recovery advised. Out of her
vast volume of experience in treating
female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Her advice is free and
always helpful.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and
herbs, contains no narcotics or harmful drugs and today holds the record for
the largest number of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the
world has éver known, and thousands

of voluntary testimonials are on
which testify to its wonderful value.

Pauper Wages in China.
Harry L. Paddock, consul at Amoy,
transmits the following report on
farmers and scale cf wages paid in
China. The farmer is up before day-
break and at work in his sterile fields
-—fields whose productivity has been
exhausted except under high fertiliza-
tion—and he returns to his shanty
after nightfall. To the view of the
foreigner, he never rests, and for this
never-ending labor he raises a crop of
rice or corn that dees not support his
family for the year. His clothing con-
sists of a loin cleth in summer and a
coarse cotton suit in the winter. He
is simply an example of all the lab-
orers and artisans in China. All
work hard to live, and all receive a
compensation commensurate with
that of the farmer. The ' following
scale of wages will give some idea of
the daily returns received labor

“Particularly in the morning I was
