TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN
Restored to Health by Lydlo. E.

"Cau Do My Own Work."
Mrs. PATRICK DAXEIIY,
West Winsted, Conn., writes:
"DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM:—It is with
pleasure that I write to you of the
benefit I have derived from using your
wonderful Vegetable Compound. I was
very ill, suffered with female weak
ness and displacement of the womb.
"I could notsleepat night, had to walk
the floor, I suffered so with pain in my
side and small of my back. Was trou
bled with bloating, and at times would
faint away; had a terrible pain in my
heart, a bad taste in my mouth all the
time and would vomit; but now, thanks
to Mrs. Pinkhara aud her Vegetable
Compound, I feci well and sleep well,
can do my work without feeling tired;
do not bloat or have any trouble
whatever.
"I sincerely thank you for the good
advice you gave me and for what your
medicine has done for me."

A Patriotic Ulouso.
A new blouse is of white china
silk. The front strip covering the
buttons, and the cutis aud collar are
composed of red, white aud blue taf
feta silk, stitched on in white. The
dash of patriotism will prevent the
waist being laundered, but it can be
dry cleansed and one must be in
fashion, you know.
Cutting Children's Hair.
The best authorities on the hair
say that a child's hair should not be
cut until it is four or five years of
age. It should be kept cut after this
until the child is about fourteen.
After this a little girl's hair should be
allowed to grow long. It should bo
trimmed at the tips, however, or
burned off monthly to keep it even
and the hairs from splitting at the
end. Do not wash the hair too often
unless it is very oily. In that case
wash it often to remove the excess of
oil. Dry hair that is inclined to come
| out should be kept clean by daily
| use of the brush applied vigorously to
the scalp. It should not be washed
oftener than once in six weeks.
A Cheerful Silting Room.
A bright Vassar gir! has invented a
simple way of making a sitting room
seem cheerful. It consists in puttiug
a thin coat of pink varnish upon the
glass of the windows, or, where it is
feasible, of using the lightest colored
pink glass for the purpose. No mat
ter what the weather is outside, it
always looks cozy and comfortable
witliin. In her house she has what
she calls the cabinet of horrors, and the
uncanny atmosphere of the place is
produced by a similar use of a light
bluish glass. Where a small amount
of color is nsed the eye does not no
tice the fact, although the mind is
affected by it, pink light causing a
slight exhilaration and bluish light
the feeling of depression.—-Now York

Women Student, til Germany.
"I think the hatred of the educated
woman grows more savage everyday,"
writes a young American girl studying
in Germany. "The women clamoring
for admittance to lectures aud lessons
are mostly Americans and Germans,
aud only a great deal of pluck prevents
the former from throwing up their
studies and running away, so bitter
are their experiences sometimes, ow
ing to their double crime of being wo
men and being foreigners. Some great
and stirring lights of the University,
such as Virchow and Leyden, have
spoken up bravely in favor of the ma
triculation of women, but the lesser
men grudge them every privilege that
they seek. Thus, on the door of a
certain professor at the Berlin Univer
sity is, at the present moment, the fol
lowing notice: 'Female Hearers Not
Admitted.' Not that the subjects
treated within might wound femiuine
delicacy—oh, no! The professor—
Grimm hv name, and grim by nature
—lectures upon 'Art aud Culture in
the Nineteenth Century.' It is a beau
tiful satire."—New York Post..
To I!o Short or Tall?
It is a enrious fact that the majority
of men do not seem to be attracted by
tall girls. AVe wonder why ? asks an
English critic. Perhaps, remarks the
Chicago News, it is men are so accus
tomed to be looked up to—at all events
by the fair sex—that it is only natural
for them to prefer the girl who, in her
little caressings aud fascinating lover
like ways, has, on account of her short
ness, to look up at him for the purpose
>f peering into his lovelit eyes. But
very short women can only sound the
note of a forlorn condition, unfortu
nately, for fussy, modern tnan, taking
him in tho abstract, passes her over
and lets his choice fall upon her com
paratively taller sister. The superla
tively tall woman and the positively
short woman tho average man leaves
severely alone.
Tall women are usnally dignified
and would appear to scorn kittenish
ways, aud although they man ago to
draw admiration, it is rather of tho
awe inspiring kind. No doubt, owing
to their smalluess of stature aud pretty,
playful ways, men give to little women
more petting than the tall, dignified
woman demands. The lover's oft re
peated expression, "You little darl
ing," could hardly be applied to the
very tall girl without tickling the risi
bilities of those who overheard it.
This is certainly very hard, aud looks
like a punishment for being tall, but
who cau help her stature? And it is
a fact, too, that men are rather shy
about approaching tall women, because
of restraint which they feel but cannot
explain. They are tinder the impres
sion—why it's hard to tell—that tall
women are built to be commanders,
and that they are in their natural ele
ment when left alone in their reserved
dignity and musings in thoir lonely
wanderings.
The Sweetness of One Woman's Oanlen.
A certain woman had a flower gar
den at her home in the suburbs of a .
bnsy city. She hqd no gardener, but
did all the work herself.
Roses, carnations, violets, and many
humbler flowers grew at her bidding,
and it became a great pleasure to her
to see her friends' delight in her gar
den. No caller ever left with hands
empty of flowers.
At first this was all she did with her
flowers except to use them inside her
home, but gradually she fell into the
way of sending them to the sick
among her neighbors. Many a weary
invalid was refreshed with the sweet
ness of roses or the perfume of carna
tions, or the dreamy, restful fragrance
of violets. Children, going home
from school, loved tlie common,
bright-hued flowers she gave them—
ragged-robins, snapdragons, sweet
williams, marigolds, poppies, nastur
tiums, and geraniums.
One day she missed her car into
the city, and while waiting for the
next one sauntered, gloves in hand,
about her glowing garden. For pure
love of them she gathered a bunch oi
crimson carnations, and carried them
with her into the horse-car.
"Something sweet to smell," she
thought. When her shopping was
done she caught a saleswoman's eyes
bent wistfully upon the glowing blos
soms, and she gave them to her. II
was a revelation to her to see the flash
of pleasure which lit up the tired face.
"Oh, thank you," was all the deligbteil
girl said, but her happy face expressed
far more than was couveyed in her
words.
From that day to this that woman
has never taken the car into the city
without a bunch of flowers in hei
baud, and some one who needs them
always gets them. Sometimes it i 3 a
crippled boy, whom she chances tc
meet on the street; sometimes a tired
faced woman, with her heavy basket
of clothes; and often it is a Bales
woman, worn and weary with long
hours of standing.
All cannot gather flowers eveiy day
in the year, but she who has even a
few flowers can do much in a quiet
way. A bunch of violets or puusies,
cool and fragrant, given with a suiiltf
and a kind word; a few sprays of roses
placed in a tired saleswoman's hand
a cluster of carnations laid upon e
poor woman's heavy basket, will
lighten the load, will breathe sweet
stories of the country and freedom
and space, and tho delicious out-of
door life of it all.—Home Comfort.
Fashion Notes.
White lawns with forget-me-nots and
small figures are among the pretty
summer dress patterns.
Large bunches of violets tied with
bow knots form one of the pretty de
signs seen in wash goods.
Ulack dotted Swiss gowns are made
up over color aud trimmed with rows
aud rows of black lace iusertiou.
The Empire tortoise-shell comb, sel
iu below the knot of hair at tho back,
is a useful as well as ornamental ad
junct.
A French gown of blue is enlivened
with a touch of burnt orange, aud the
hat to to worn with it is of gray,
trimmed with orange velvet.
A pretty bit of daiuty underwear is
a short chemise of tho finest crepe de
chiue, finished around the neck with
a lace-trimmed frill of finest white
lawn.
Several dresses havo been finished
with yokes of solid embroidery and
braid. If these are at all of open
design they are lined with bright satin
or silk.
Some of the new round hats oi
Spanish yellow braid are trimmed with
nothingbut black ostrich plumes, black
velvet ribbou and black poppies with
yellow hearts.
The regulation cape is mado so as
to staud out from the shoulders like a
rain-shed, "the more flare the more
fashion" seeming to be tho idea in
their making up.
Tho latest silk sliirt waists are
cor Jed; in fact, everything cordod is
the rage, the cords ranging in size
from a common wrapping twine to the
size of one's linger.
Yellow vies with blue for prominence
in millinery. Yellow flowers, yellow
tulle, chiffon and yellow straw are
brilliantly conspicuous, besides all the
warm tints of burnt orange.
Braided black nets, with tiny frills
of gauze ribbon between the bayadere
patterns, are a very popular material
for tho transparent gown which is a
fashionable necessity this season.
Shoes are less pointed than hereto
fore. Heels are rather low and broad,
and the moderately heavy walking
shoo has become one of the indis
pensable articles of every lady's outfit.
The pretty and picturesque neck
and shoulder effects, and the new way
of adjusting the fronts, render the
very fashionable princesse dress ono
of the most attractive models of tho
season.
Hats are remarkable for the'absence
of ribbon in their_ trimming. Soft
materials, either plain or figured, are
preferred, and these are used in puffs,
loops, rolls and large soft bows anil
rosettes.
For out-door wear tan shoes with
the short tan socks are worn by little
children; while'for indoors', either
black! or iolored shoes with stockings
to match. Shoes are used much more
than slippers, as they are supposed tp
be better for the ankles.
BRAVE AMERICAN WOMEN.
tn the Revolution They Wert Tot Behind
the Mon In Patriotism.
From memoirs, dairies and old let
ters enough comes down to give us
an idea of the tone of the womeu of
the Revolution, and the mothers
stand out as heroically ns any Spartan
woman. A Mrs. Martin voiced tho
general feeling when a British officer
asked her whether she had a sou.
"I have seven."
"Where are they?"
"Fighting for their country."
"All of them?"
"All."
The officer sneered. "Well, you
seat enough," he said.
Mrs. Martin looked him squarely in
the face. "I wish I had fifty sous to
send against yon."
Such instances pile up before tho
searcher, aud there were mothers
braver still. One of them sent an
only .son to the siege of Augusta. A
British soldier, full of hatred for tho
rebels, rode out of his way to tell the
woman of her son's death. She met
him at the door, and, without a word
of warning, he brutally announced:
"You had a son. I saw his brains
blown out at Augusta."
The mother's form grew rigid, but
she said proudly:
"Ho could not have diod iu a nobler
cause."
There are mothers in the land to
day as brave as she, if a cause like
hers should call; and, even when tho
cause is the liberty of another race,
the mothers have been brave and
stopped their tears. Women's work
was needed more in the old days than
it is in this time of Government sup
plies and a well-filled Treasury, and
wherever women were needed, there
they were found. Mrs. Draper, of
Dedkain, Mass., sent her husband
aud sixteen-year-old son to the army.
Then she called in her neighbors
and begun baking bread and pies,
which she kept on a long table before
her gate, for the refreshment of all
hungry American soldiers who passed
that way. After Bunker Hill, whon
the scarcity of ammunition induced
Washington to call for all available
pewter aud lead, the same Mrs.
Draper came to the front again. Pew
ter was dear to the heart of the New
England housekeeper, aud she had
(one of the finest collections in Now
England; but without a moment's
hesitation she melted it down, aud,
not content with furnishing the ma
terial, she obtained a mould and made
tho pewter into bullets, which she
forwarded to the army. Then a new
want arose. The men were insuf
ficiently clothed. The indefatigable
Mrs. Draper had piles of domestic
cloth stowed away for family use. She
made it into soldiers' coats. Her
splendid stock of sheets aud blankets
was transformed into shirts, aud even
her own ilauucl clothing was altered
to men's garments.
She was only one woman among
thousands like her. Tho famous Mrs.
Motto, who had given signal evidence
of patriotism, was at one time obliged
to leave her handsome home, which
fell into British hands. Mrs. Motte
took up her residence in a farmhouse
back of the American lines. The
American commander became con
vinced that the only way of routing
the British was by destroying the
Motte house, but he hesitated tomeu
tiou this to the patriotic womeu.
When he did pluck up courage to do
so, ho was relieved of all embarrass
ment. Although the place was dear to
her, and was almost her only property,
she assured the commander that it
was altogether at his service, fur
nished him the bow and arrows by
which combustibles were to be carried
to the roof, aud stood beside him, with
no sign of regret, while her home and
fortune burned to ashes.
Nt all of tho Revolutionary women
had great sacrifices to make, but they
did what they could; and so many of
the girls pledged themselves never to
accept the attentions of young men
who refused to fight for tiie country
that there was really no merit in a
young man's going to the front.
American women gave up tea, too;
and in that day that was a sacrifice ns
heroic as it would be iu England now.
Peggy Stewart, of Annapolis, went
further than that in the tea fight.
She was the pretty wife of Anthony
Stewart, a merchant aud shipowner;
and when a bark, named for her, the
Peggy Stewart, came in with a cargo
of tea, slio ordered both tea and bark
to be burned iu the harbor; aud forced
her husband to held tho torch with
which the fire v destroyed his
property was kindled.
The Flag of Betay lloss,
Tbe first flag made for the Coutiuen
tal Congress was the handiwork of
Miss Betsy Boss, of Philadelphia. It
was ou August 3, 1777, that it was
first raised over Fort Schuyler, near
Borne, in this State. Paul Jones, who
used to have the rattlesnake Hag, was
the first to show it to a foreign Nation
when he unfurled it in France.
On June 14,1777, the Continental
Congress adopted this resolution:
"Resolved, That the Hag of the
thirteen United Statee be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the Union be thirteen stars in a blue
field, representing the new constella
tion."
It was this llag, not officially born
yet, but substantially the same, with
which Perry inspired his gallant crew
on the deck of the Lawrence, as he
waved it in his arms before the battle
of Lake Erie began and pointed to the
words of Captain Lawrence, blazoned
across its folds: "Don't give up the
ship." And they didn't. The British
did that. The victory saved the great
Northwest to the Union.—New York

Stono In Her Stomach.
From the Gazette, Blandins-ville, Til.
The wife of the Rev. A. It. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Church at Bland

live a life of torturo from disease. Her (
case baffled the physicians, but to-day she

"I weighed about 143 pounds, but my
health begau to fall and I lost flosh. My (
food did not ngrco with mo and felt like a

"I had pains and soreness in my left sido
which extended clear across my "back and '
also into the region of my heart. During i
these spells a hard ridge would appear in i
the left side of my stomach and around
the loft side.
"These attacks left mesorennd exhaust- I

! Within the past month the first iron
bridge erected in the State of Ohio has

falls among the women at the seaside
and watering-place hotels In Europe,
j They have extra sets of tlDy boots and
shoes made, not for wear, but to b3

corridors of hotels. The furnishing of
such tluy sets Is a recognized part of
the boot and shoe trade in Paris. It

Europe the best-shaped feet are those
of the women of Sweden. In Paris, the :
Jewesses are noted for their small feet,
and are very particular about their

A Fortune From a Srar,
I An inventive genius who suffered
! from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be au effica
' cions, and yet comparatively harmless,
meaus of defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoct ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand a few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
yot there is no dauger of actually in
juring a valuable auimal which might
playfully annoy a rider. The weapon
has proved so much of a success as a
means of defense as well as fuu-mak
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing
much money from his device.

OR OTHER LIQUID."
It is a weapon wliicli protects "bicyclists against
vicious clogs and loot-pads; travelers against robbers
and toughs; homes against thieves and tramps, and is
adapted to many other situations.
It does not kill or injure; it is perfectly safe to
handle; makes no noise or smoke; breaks no law and
creates no lasting regrets, as does the bullet pistol. It
simply and amply protects, by compelling the foe to
give undivided attention to himself for awhile instead
of to the intended victim.
It is the only real weapon which protects and also
makes fun, laughter and lots of it; it shoots, not once,
but many times without reloading; and will protect
by its appearance in time ot danger, although loaded
only with liquid. It does not get out of order; is dur
able, handsome, and nickel plated.
