Suits the Tailors,
Felix Faure's tailors made a gooi
thing out of the St. Petersburg visit.
It rained every hour of the President's
stay in Russia, and consequently his
eight dress suits and twelve silk hats
were all ruined. When the reception
at Dunkirk was given M. Faure on his
return home he had to wear a "pressed
suit." but that did not so much matter,
for there again It also rained In tor
rents. As lie always is the pink of ele
gance, this continued annoyance must
have been hs hard to bear as for some
fine lady out In a downpour, minus an
umbrella and no money for a cab.

Tho German Woman.
In Germany to-day 110 woman can 1
control property; she cannot even con- ;
trol her own actions; whatever of val
ue* she has acquired in any way be
longs to her father, her husband or her
son, and the law requires her to obey
their orders. Japan is the only other
country on earth that pretends to be I
civilized where the rights of women
are so restricted. When a woman !
marries in Germany all her property
passes Into the ownership of her l.us
buml forever. He has the legal right
to use or-dispose of it in any manner
lie chooses regardless of her wishes or j
protests. If they are divorced the [
property remains with him. When she ;
assents to the marriage vow she for ;
feits independence and confers upon 1
him absolute jurisdiction over hoi
mind, body and estate. He can compel
her to work or do anything else that Is
lawful for women to do, and she lias
no relief or protection except in public
opinion. Some of the American heir
esses who have married German bar
ons have learned of this law to their
sorrow, and others who may have an
to assist in supporting the
German army and restoring ancestral
estates should look into the matter
very carefully before they appoint the
wedding day.—Chicago Record.

To my Suffering Sisters:—Let me write this for your benefit, telling you
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I am but
nineteen and suffered with painful menstruation, leucorrhoea, dizziness, burn
ing sensation back of ears and on top of my head, nervousness, pain and
soreness of muscles, bearing-down pains, could not sleep well, was unable
to 6tand without pain, and oh! how I longed to be well!
One day I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham telling her all, knowing I could do so
in perfect confidence.
She wrote me a lovely letter in reply, telling me exactly what to do.
After taking nine bottles of the Compound, one box of Liver pills, and using
. one-half package of Sanative wash, I can say lam cured. I am so happy,
and owe my happiness to none other than Mrs. Pinkham. <
Why will women suffer when help is near? Let me. as one who has had

UP-TO-DATE CAMPING.
j Every Improvement to Make Life in
the Woods a Pleasure.
j Not so very long ago when people
; went camping it really meant they
went "roughing it." The modern camp
er has kept abreast of the times and
has every improvement to make life in
the woods or by the river bank a pleas
ure.
Occasionally we see a remnant of the
i ancient system—a large unwieldy boat
<r wagon laden with persons dressed in
1 their oldest clothes, with sufficient bag
! gage for n polar expedition, rumpled
; canvas being much in evidence. To go
| hack to first principles the real joy of
A LITTLE LUNCII.
camping lies in wandering from place
to place and pitching one's tent in a
new spot each night, but this involves
' too much labor. The modern camper is
*ell represented in the scene present
ed, which shows these luxurious idlers
having afternoon tea after the fatigues
of the day. Usually these pretty, lace
curtained tents with their sheltering
awnings are pitched near others simi
lar !n all particulars, where the advnn-'
tage of a large tent for "smokers" and
occasional dinners may be had. These
touts have board floorings, the rain is
kept off the awning, and if the camp
is pitched for the summer more than
likely each family has its flower gar
i (lenf}, flags, hammocks and pretty
lamps and lanterns for jubilee nights.
| Summer has seen many such camps
| on the shores of lovely lakes lying near
j (Jhicago, nnd the campers have enjoyed
j themselves better, so they claim, than
i the more fashionable visitors at the
crowded summer resorts, which do not
i get near enough to Nature to suit the
man or girl really tirad of cities ancl
| crowds.
The AVost End.
| There is one good explanation of the
j fact that great cities almost invariably
grow towards the west. As regards
I Europe, the prevailing winds are from
' the west and southwest, so tiiat these
j portions of the towns are brighter,
j cleaner, and healthier than the eastern.

Grew From an Ox Goad.
The largest tree in Kankakee Coun
ty, 111., is a Cottonwood on the farm of
Mrs. Alico Paine, at Beebotown. It
is ICJ feet in circumference, 5} feet
in diameter and 100 feet high.
The origin of the tree is interesting.
Fifty years ago the farm was owned
by the Parsons family. One day
Ralph Parsons out a oottonwood goad
and drove his ox team home, aided by
its inspiring touch. One of the Par
sons girls stuck the goad in the
ground. No one disturbed it, and
eventually it took root, threw out
bnds and started on its oareer.
The girl who planted the mammoth
tree is dead, but Ralph Parsons is
living in Nebraska.—Chicago News.

charge of a clerk's books aud firm as
sets so quickly that nothing can be
changed or concealed.
Tenement-House Fires.
Thero is an article in St. Nicholas
on "The Fire Patrol," written by
Charles T. Hill, who has contributed a
series of papers to that magazine on
the New York Fire Department. Mr.
Hill says:
At fires in the homes of the poor
these detachments of the patrol work
| just as earnestly and conscientiously
to save property as they would in the
; expensively furnished mansions of the
rich. At tenement-house tires they
| are of great service. First they aid in
| getting the people out; then, gather
' ing the goods together, the patrolmen
| protect tlieni from water with tarpau
lin covers. The majority of these fires
j break out in the basements or cellars;
: then, following the air and light-shafts
Ito the top floor, they spread, and do
the greatest damage in the upper
| stories. To extinguish these fires, the
other floors below have to be flooded, •
| and were it not for the Fire Patrol in
I many cases the poor families would
j lose everything tney owned.
| One of the captains of the patrol re- j
I marked: "Why. it would do your
i heart good if you could hoar how pro
j fuse these poor people are in their
! thanks, and the blessings they shower
! on us when they find we've saved their
things. They go running around,
wringing their hands aud crying:
'Everything's lost! Everything's lost!'
and then, when the tire is out, we lead
them hack and show them tlioir things,
as dry as a chip under the covers, and
—well, say—there isu't anything they
wouldn't do for us! Half the time i
they're not insured, and it isn't our
business to protect people who are not; j
but we're uot supposed to know every
thing, and our orders are to protect
i property first and find out whether it
is insured afterwards; and it is not our
fault if we save the little all of a lot of
poor creatures who half the time
haven't a change of clothes to their
| back. You bet, we get to work just as
i quick in a tenement-house fire as in a
; big house on Fifth avenue, aud we do
| the same work in both places, no mat- :
I tor whether it's for the rich or the
j poor."
Groat Hunter of Moose and llonw. |
} Nathan B. Moore, of Bingham, Me.,
has probably the most remarkable
: record as a hunter possessed by any
! out! in this generation. He is seventy
; nine years old, and for seventy-one
' years he has hunted aud been a guide ,
jin the Maine woods. Two hundred :
i and seventy-six moose, eighty-four
! bears and deer unnumbered have fallen 1
before him. The most wonderful part i
of the matter is that until recent years
he has carried a rifle that weighed only j
four and a quarter pounds and using a
bullet no longer than a buckshot. He
Bcouts the idea that a large bullet is
necessary to bring down large game.
A buckshot planted in the right i pot
will, he Hays, bringdown the toughest
animal that ever roamed in Maine.
His knowledge of the woods is as
wonderful as his skill as a marksman.
Every incn of northern Maine up to
the Canada line is as familiar to him
as the streets of Bingham. It is said
that he can be blindfolded dud taken '
to any place in these immense Maine
forests and in less than twenty minutes
after removing the covering from his
eyes he will tell exactly where he is.
He is eqnal to a thirty-mile tramp any
day and expects to he a hunter till he
dies.
I'rivate vs. Pul>lie Opinion.
An Englishman who was traveling
at the time Seller Cauovas was killed,
writes to the London Standard his ob
servations of the manner In which men
really spoke of the assassination: "Ev
sry paper devoted columns to denounc
ing the deed, commenting on the politi- j
cal results, and to unanimously singing
the praises of the dead premier. Ac- |
cording to the Liberal and Conserva
tlve papers alike, his efforts for Spain
has been colossal, and had he lived he
would speedily have ended or mended
the difficulties in Cuba, the Philippines,
and at home. He was an Ideal man, j
politically and socially, and was to he
the saviour of his country. Luring the
last few days, in Seville and Madrid,
i have heard the opinion of many !
classes of the community, and ninety
per cent, of the people here state open
ly. in the cafe, in the streets, at the
table d'hote, and in the clubs, that, far
front being surprised, they wonder that
Canovas was not murdered ten years
ago. They speak of him as a "cold
hearted despot, opposed to ail meas
ures for the Improvement of the people,
the prime cause of the wasted millions
In Cuba, and the murderer of the thou
sands who have died there from fam
ine, disease, and at the hands of the
insurgents. They lay at his door the
Innumerable tax abuses, which lately
have Increased considerably,"
Language.
The Cingalese have twelve words for
lady, according to the rank and position
of the person they wish to designate.
They have also eight different modes of
saying "thou" and "you," as determin
ed by the social posltiou of the person
addressed. In Sinm there are eight
different ways of saying "I" and "we," |
influenced by the circumstances of the
master addressing the servant, or the
servant the master. The names of the
commonest things among certain sav- |
ages are modiUcd by the sex of the per
son speaking. So that the female would '
employ a different word or different I
form thereof from the male in speak- I
Ing of "men," "moon," "sun," "law." !
The Hurous use a different word for j
an animate and inanimate thing. If !
they spoke of "seeing a stone," and of
"seeing a man," the word "seeing" in
the two sentences would he different.
