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 the wid- ows and orphans, but it is proposed to £0 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 took part in the war wiih 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 to 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. A: rural post wagon caries, on the average, 54 letters and posta: cards, 107 newspapers and circulars and three parcels. 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. Between the cost of all the routes and the income from .busi- ness origingting on them is a discrep- ancy of $9,500,000 a year.—World's Work. Trade Relations With Spain. Last year the United States sold to Spain goods worth $17,000,000 and purchased $8,500,000 worth, the lar- gest total of trade we have ever had with that country.

Well done, good and faithful ser- vant.” HOSPITALS CROWDED MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Saves Many From this Sad and Costly Experience. It is a sad but certain fact that Pevery year brings an in- crease in the numberofopera- tions performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three- fourths of the patients lying white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera- tions made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plentyof warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvic 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 of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately 1 corresponded with an aunt inthe New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. Idid soand immediately began to improve in health,and I was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, with- out an operation. I 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. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from fe- male troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous excitability or ner- vous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. She is daughter-in-law ot Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five ears has been advising sick women oe of charge. Address, Lynn, Mass. A FUNNY LITTLE CRAB, 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 litle “fAddler,” 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 tself for a long winter sleep. Tlie eye stalks are then folded down into sockets beneath tho shell, and the large claw rests closed and inert against 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 belng available for this purpose. It is amusing to sce 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 gmall 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.

A Pittsburg widower, while away from home on a business trip, met and married a lady who, though fam- ed for her goodness of heart, would be spoken of even by her friends as ‘‘piain.” The man believed that she wouid be a kind mother to his two children, however, and as she was also possessed of a fair amount of this world's goods was not inclined to expect the beauty of a peach in a potato. After his marriage he telegraphed to the eldest of the children, a girl of 15: “Have won a prize. Am Will be home to-morrow." When the bride and groom arrived, the children were watching at the door, and at sight of their future mother gave a little gasp of conster- nation. The second child, a boy, nudged his sister and whispered: “Say, Nell, that must have been the consolation prize that pa got!”— Harper's Weekly. married. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion oi the ear, Thereis only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies.
