T Perfect Womanhood The greatest menace to woman's permnnent happiness in life is the Buffering that comes from some de rangement of the feminine organs. Many thousands of women have realized this too Into to save their health, barely in time to save their lives. To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her hus band, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her ener jriesare flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eves, she has backache, head ache, bearing-down sensations, ner vousness, irregularities or the "blues," she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as i Ff Lydia E.

Statistic ians figure that the population of the city will exceed that of London by the year 1915, and will double in 25 Tears. The present generation will undoubtedly see in New York the world's greatest metropolis. Few persons realize that the poulatlon of New York City is already one in twenty of the population of the entire United States, or that the growth of New York City in the century past has been five times more rapid than the growth of the whole country. ..

According to a writer In Apple ton's Magazine, the Sultan of Mor occo Is somewhat afraid of his wives. One night his majesty con cluded he had had enough of the cinematograph. The ladies of the harem thought otherwise. "Avery," whispered his majesty, "when you have run the next spool off, I shall cry out as usual, 'More, more,' hut I want you to reply in Arahic, 'No, no, O Great One; for to-night I have finished; to-morow, if it he God's will.' And thus comically was God's regent on earth relieved of tedium as he went through the pantomime with his photographic instructor, La la Sidi. Dahlia class Rudar, Inshallah, the obedient Avery would reply. And thereupon the Sultan would turn to a great vista of female faces, or rather glowing eyes, with the re mark, "There, there, Teja Avery will show no more to-night, so off to bed with you all!"

Take flail's Family Pills for constipation. Muddy Days In London. It has been calculated that the cost of a muddy day in London Is something like $25,000. This is not surprising when one remembers that no fewer than 32 tons of mud are carried about from place to place on the wheels of carts and carriages and horses' hoofs. After a wet day the dry mud brushed from people's clothing amounts to 15 tons, and a very similar amount Is shaken out of door mats. City mud, however, has Its good points.

Rooks Observe Sunday. All the animal world appears to know a Sunday from a week day. There Is a tradition in Lancashire, and perhaps elsewhere, that the rooks always commence building on the first Sunday in March. This has been frequently verified by ob servation, and the punctuality of the rooks might almost claim to exceed the limits of . coincidence. Country Life. i)OE3 YOUR BACK ACHE?

Weather" conditions, unseasonable almost beyond precedent, have re tarded retail trade nnd agriculture to an extent that cannot be measured, but the loss will be considerable. Spring opened with the brightest of prospects for business, and crops, but record-breaking results can no longer be attained. May thus far has brought complaints of excessive cold from almost every section of the country, and in many cases H is found that mercantile collections have been slow on that account. Freight congestion is relieved, though. Thnfflc is heavy, partly in preparation for fall and winter busi ness, which Is viewed with confi dence. Lnst year's pressure causes a big movement of coal and attractive prices bring a vast tonnage of wheat to primary markets. The outlook in the iron and Rteel Industry was never brighter. Steel rails are constantly ordered. Much new business is in light rails for trolley lines. Makers of agricultural implements are purchasing bars freely. Textile mills are still actively en gaged as a rule, but In the primary markets there Is some Irregularity. Cotton goods are no cheaper, but the effect of the backward season on re tail trade Is felt In all departments. Business at first hands is more ac tive on forward contracts than for quick delivery, and there is less of fering of premiums for spot goods. Yet the mills are not ottering con cessions, which may be due In part to the high cost of raw cotton. The only Interest of the jobbing trade is In fall goods, as current needs have been Btippllcd. Kxpcrt trade continues featureless. The only sales are small parcels for the Red Sea. As to woolens, men's wear orders appear loss freely. This slow movement is attributed also to tho weather. Retail clothiers nre making little preparation for another season when contributions are so slow. Weather reports have dominated commodity exchanges, with a net re sult of further' rise in prices. Do mestic statements of injury by in serts and cold were supplemented by poor progress in many other nations. Better traffic conditions nnd attract ive quotations bring large arrivals of wheat at primary markets. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.

Lady Steel re fused to pay house and property tax as a protest against women not liav ing the vote.

With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. ' Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.

He carefully guards the bride all the day before the wedding takes place, and sleeps outside her chamber the night before the girl 13 to be mar ried. He wears a big, stilt sash, made of heavy silk, carries a big white staff and a huge boquet all for himself. There are no bridesmaids, but two god-fathers, each of whom presents to the bride a silk dress. After the priest has performed the ceremony the best man takes the bride around the church, and uhe kisses all her girl friends good-by and la finally carried off to the bridegroom, who at last gets his wife from the hands of the best man. Then the happy couple return to their intended home. Dridal tours are foreign to Servian ideas and only the very rich or the nobility Indulge la them. Secretary Taft as a Reporter. Like Chief Justice Fuller, Secre tary Wilson and other men high in the public service and confidence, Secretary Taft began his career as a newspaper man. The first money earned by him after being graduated from Yale was as court reporter on a Cincinnati paper, the old Commercial-Gazette, then edited by Murat Halstead. Mr. Taft started at $6 a week, and when he quit had worked up to "twenty per." All the time he was thus engaged he was study ing law at night under his father's direction. Necessity did . not drive htm to the work, as his father was a man of ample fortune, but the Secre tary chose it because It was the readiest entrance to active employ ment that brought him dally in con tact with lawyers and court proceed ings.
