THEY WANT TO TELL
These Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.
Women who have suffered severely
and been relieved of ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine are
constantly urging publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 258 Merrimac
fit., Lowell, Mass., writes:
14 It affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the benefit I have
received from taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. I can hard
ly find words tocxpressmy gratitude for
what she has done forme. My trouble
was ulceration of the womb. I was un
der the doctor's care. Upon examina
tion he found fifteen very large ulcers,
but he failed to do me good. 1 took sev
eral bottlesof Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, also used the Sanative

medicine saved my life, and I would
recommend it to all suffering women.'*

often as ten times a day. One day a
lady came to see me and told me of the
benefit she had derived from taking

JAP PIRATES PUNISHED- 1
AN ALMOST UNRECORDED CHAPTER
OF OUR NAVAL ANNALS.
Tlie Wyoming'!! Oriental Battle—Bril
liant in Point of Daring and Success
fnl Against Overwhelming Odds—Com
mander McDugall's Tactics.
Strange as it may seem, the 'Wy
oming's Oriental battle is an almost
unrecorded chapter of our naval au
nals, though it ranks even higher iu
point of daring and success against
overwhelming odds than the defeat of
the Alabama by the Wyoming's sister
ship, the Kearsarge. But the Wy
oming never was in very great luck as
a naval star. She had her part
throughout the Civil War in all the
hardest of blockading and cruising
service, and fought well whenever she
had the chance, but she did not have
the luck of getting into tlio papers.
She wns sent off at the same time as
the Kearsarge to cruise for that
scourge of the seas, the Alabama, and
just missed her by the merest chance
on two occasions in the China seas.
It was in 1803, toward the end of the
dual reign of the Tycoon and the Mi
kado, when Japan was in the throes
of civil war, and the forces of the
rebel princes were resisting to the
last the passing of the old feudal sys
tem. The Prince of Nagato was one
of these, and from his tiny kingdom
that fronted on the Straits of Siraou
oseki he declared himself lord para
mount of everything in sight, includ
ing the neighboring sens, from which
he took generous toll as did ever the
pirate chiefs of Tnrilfa. He had laid
violent hands and hot shot upon the
vessels of various powers, including
Great Britain, France, the Nether
lauds and the United States.
Meantimo Prince Nagato throve and
flourished by the Straits of Simon
oseki, and, failing one day to wring
tribute of blackmail by nny other
means, ho fired on the American mer
chantman Pembroke and killed a
couple of her crew. There was an
other diplomatic protest from the com
bined foreign representatives to the
Japanese Government, and Commander
McDugall, who happened to be in
port with the Wyoming, suggested
that if the Mikado could not tako a
fall out of his rebellious subject the
Wyoming could and would without
much urging. This struck the gov
ernment ns a good thing aud an easy
way out of the international difficulty;
so McDugall was given carte blanche
to settle accounts with tlio Prince of
Nagato in behalf of all the powers
concerned, and he forthwith sailed
away.
It was the middle of July wliin the
Wyoming found herself iu the Straits
of Simouoseki and in sight of the shore
batteries which were a part of the
Prince's defences to seaward. Before
she had time to open on the batteries
two Japanese gunboats loomed up, ono
ahead and one astern, in the narrow
straits, and presently a third came
cruising out from nmoug the neighbor
ing islands. It was a nasty place for
a fight, McDugall being without charts
or pilots, and the odds were more than
euough for Nelson himself, beiugforty
eight guns of the three Japanese ves
solsto the twenty-six of the old Wyom
ing, to say nothing of the batteries on
Shore. There was still n chance to
run, barring some danger of ground
ing in the narrow channels among the
islands, but the idea does not seem to
have occurred to any one aboard the
frigate.
Working to windward of the nearest
Japanese, the Wyoming opened at long
range, and worked down on her till,
when close nboard, there was nothing
of the enemy left standing above decks.
The other two vessels had como up in
the meantime aud engaged tlio Amer
ican on either side, but she lay to and
gave them shot for shot, port aud star
board, till her gunners were smoke
blind and the flame of the guns no
longer served to light the battle-cloud
that rolled in white billows over the
smooth waters of the straits. It was
desperate work in the shallow water,
but the Wyoming was the best vessel,
and she outmanoeuvred her two op
ponents from start to finish, though
twice aground, aud once afire, with as
many men knocked out from splinters
and heat as from the enemy's shot.
Fighting themselves out of one
smoke-patch into another, the three
combatants circled around like two
crows and a kingbird, till they had
drifted down in range of the shore
batteries, which gayly took a hand in
the game. But McDugall ran across
the bows of one of his enemies, raked
her as he went aud left her a floating
wreck, and then turned his attention
to the batteries. The Wyoming's men
rigged the smith's forge on deck, and
tossed hot shot into the works ashore
till they set them afire, and the sol
diers fled, aud the other Japs on the
remaining cruiser, deoidiug enough
was as good as a feast, followed their
example.
So McDugall mended his rigging and
patched his bulwarks, and meanwhile
sent word to tho recalcitrant Prince to
come down aud settle or he would sail
inland and shell the royal palace about
Its royal owner's ears. The Prince,
who was no less disoreet than Colonel
Crockett's coon, came down promptly,
and of the resulting indemnity $300,-
000 fell to the lot of the United States.
It was many yearß before this money
got into the Treasury of the United
States, but meantime the State De
partment had charge of it and had in
vested it so well that there was a very
little short of $2,000,000 finally turned
over to the Government, which, after
all, was pretty good pay for one day's
fighting, with a loss of only five killed
aud six wounded. —Washington Post.

THE FL4C OF HAWAII.
Enierßcncles Tlinl Hntl to Do With Male*
ins: It What It Is.
All histories that are printed of the
Hawaiian liepublic fail to tell of the
interesting story connected with the
adoption of the flag of that country.
The adoption of the emblem dates
back about twenty-five years, when
the country was still a monarchy and
Kink Kamehameha 11. was on the
throne.
The story is handed down by pos
terity. The exact date of the occur
rence is not known, though it was in
the year 1873. The King of th?
"key to the Pacific" awoke ono morn
ing to find n French warship anchored
safely in the harbor of Honolulu. He
became alarmed nt the pospect of a
conquest, and sent at once for his
Prime Minister. He was ndvised by
him to run up a flag, and show the
visitors that the country belonged to
some one, aud was not a "no man's
land," to be pillaged at will by the
first foreigners who came along. The
King, heeding the advice, cast about
for a piece of bunting to represent his
nation, and fell upon an old British
flag. This ho had run uji to the top
of his highest flagpole.
Tho bunting had hardly had time
to unfurl itself to the breeze when
one of the chief advisers of the King
came running to him and told him
that he would have to take the flag
down, as the first thing he knew if he
did not an English man-of-war that
was expected at the island, would ar
rive, aud, the commander finding his
nation's colors flying over Honolulu,
would take possession in the name of
the Queen. This frightened Kame
hameha, and he started another hunt
for a flag. This time searchers un
earthed an American emblem.
Taking tho two flags, the ruler had
them made into one. The jack iu the
corner of the English emblem was
left, while the stripes of the American
flag were ndded to it. Thus the
Hawaiian flag at first had thirteen
strijjes and a jack, the same as the
English. The King, when he had dis
posed of his French visitors, had time
to think over the matter. It was de
cided that it would be better to have
only eight stripes, representing tho
eight islands of the nation. The extra
pieces were cut off, leaving the eight
stripes, with a white one on the top.
The jack still carries the St. George's
cross, the St. Andrew's cross, and the
St. Patrick's cross, the samo as tho
English.
Soon after the adoption of this flag
the whites, who had begun to settle on
the island, came more aud more into
power each year until, as a result, the
monarchy was finally overthrown and
the Republic placed on a firm basis,
with white men at the head of the Gov
ernment. The natives, who are su
perstitious, believe the change in
power from the copper-colored people
to the whites is directly due to the fact
that the white stripe is directly ovei
the red in the flag. They say that had
the red been first the whiten would
never have gained foothold on the isl
and sufficient to warrant their taking
the reins of the Government in their
hands.
As a result of this superstition the
Legislature of Hawaii scarcely ever
meets but what some new bill to change
the position of tho stripes on the flag
is brought up. The wisest of the men
among the natives are kept constantly
at work on the drawing up of such
measures, and their members in the
Congress are ever busy tryiug to put
the bills through. The belief is that
as soon as the order of the stripes is
changod, the red having the prefer
ence, the copper-colored nntives will
again nscend to power aud have full
sway in the Government.
Anckor-Wat's Mysterious Temple.
The great mystery about Indo-China,
and one which must ever be insoluble,
is the story of the lost race and the
vanished civilization of that strange
country. The mighty walls of Angkor-
Wat, risiug in the midst of sparsely
populated jungles, remain as the me
morial of a great empire which has
utterly disappeared and is altogether
lost to history. No one will ever know
who planned this gigantic temple, or
what tyrant hounded on his myriads
of people to build up those immense
blocks of stone aud cover them with
the most elaborate sculptures. Angkor-
Wat is one of the most astonishing
monuments in the world, and this for
gotten temple was built so as to en
dure as long as tho earth itself, were
it not for tlie irresistibly destructive
effect of plant life on the strongest
walls that man can raise. Only a high
ly civilized and very wealthy people
could have erected Angkor-Wat—a
very different race to the Annamite of
modern days. The whole Nation has
disappeared as utterly as the busy
myriads who once populated the
wastes and solitudes of Memphis.—

Ancient Record*.
The authentio records of the Chin
ese race began about 4000 years ago,
though the traditional history extends
back much further. As a matter of
fact, however, the reliable record oi
China does not go back further than
2205 B. C., and it is believed by
chronologioal authorities that the Chin
ese annals do not antedate those of
Egypt. Tho earliest dynasty of
China, that of Han, dates from 208 B.
C. to 220 A. D., and the long list of
dynasties is believed to have little
better foundation than in the imagin
ations of the Chinese,histeriaus.
A White City.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Honeyed Apples.
Select smooth, ripe apples. Do
not pare unless the skin be very
tough. Core them, but do uot break
through the skiu at the lower end.
Set them upright in a pan, touchiug
each other. Put into each cavity a
teaspoonful of honey and a teaspoon
ful of butter. Put a scant half-taciip
of sugar, a scant half-teacup of hot
water and a teaspoonful of butter to
gether and ponr into the pan. Cover
and set into a brisk oven for fifteen
minutes, llemove cover and bake
till tender—fifteen minutes more will
be sufficient.
Savoy Potatoes.
Finely slice three large potatoes,
put them into a basin with plenty of
salt and pepper, a pinch of grated
nutmeg and a whole egg well beaten.
Add two ounces of grated cheese and
nearly a half pint of boiled milk, and
well mix these ingredients. Pour
them into a fire-proof dish of suitable
size and shape (previously rubbed
with garlic), sprinkle with more
grated cheese, lay some tiny pieces of
butter overthe top and bake in a mod
erate oven for at least thirty minutes.
This is a most uncommon dish, but it
is a delicious oue. The quantities
can, of course, bp increased propor
tionately. The above suffices for
three or four persons.
Cliocoltjto Cream Pudding.
Boil four heaping tablespoonfuls
grated, unsweetened chocolate in half
pint water; add half cup of sugar and
one tablespoonful vanilla; soak one
ounce gelatine in one cup cold water
fifteen minutes; remove from the fire,
and when cold and beginning to
thicken, pour it slowly into one pint
of whipped cream, while beating con
stantly with an egg-beater; rinse out
a two-quart mold with cold water;
ponr in the pudding mixture and set
in a cool place. Vanilla sauce.—Put
one quart of milk into a double boiler;
add four tablespoonfuls sugar and one
teaspoonful cornstarch; add the yolks
of five eggs; place over the fire and
stir till just about to boil; thou in
stantly remove; add two teaspooufuls
vanilla extract aud serve ico cold.
Cucumber Fritters.
Select very ripe cucumbers, peel
and grate. Press tbe pulp free from
juice aud for each pint stir in three
tablespoonfuls of sweet cream, one
tablespoonful melted butter, one-half
cupful sifted flour, oue-half teaspoon
ful salt and a dash of cayenne. Whip
two eggs to a light froth and add to
the butter. Drop a teaspoonful at a
time, into smoking hot lard, fry a rich
color and drain on thick brown paper.
These should be eaten immediately.
Tomatoes stuffed with macaroni may
be new to some. Choose large, solid
tomatoes and slice off the stem ends.
Then with spoon carefully remove all
the seeds, cut cold boiled macaroni
into small pieces aud season with salt,
pepper and onion juice. Fill tho
cavity in each vegetable, with this,
lay a piece of butter on top and bake
in a hot oven for half an hour.
Stuffed Egg I'lant.
Select three small egg plants, cut
each one in half, making three in
cisions inside of each, drop into deep
hot fat, and fry two minutes; then re
move, scoop out the fleshy part, leav
ing half inch thickness on the skin;
fill each with fine veal forcemeat;
sprinkle over some grated bread
crumbs and a little grated butter; lay
them in a buttered pan aud bake till

sauce through a sieve into another
saucepan; mix the yolks of two eggs
with two tablespoonfuls cream, add it
to the sauce, stir for a few minutes
over the tire, not letting it boil, aud
serve.
Hounohold Hints.
Flan meals to have heavy cooking
one day and lighter the next.
For chocolate stains, use colli water
first, then boiling water from the tea
kettle.
The dampers of a stove must be
pushed iu wheu only a small fire is
ueeded.
Apples are less liable to break when
being cored if they are not peeled till
afterwards.
If you use a water cooler iu summer
you can cool your lemonade iu it by
putting the beverage in a bottle and
setting it inside.
Old gloves protect the hands in do
ing the dirty work of the house, but
rubber glove 3 cannot be specially re
commended, as they make the hands
sensitive.
After fruit stains have been in table
linen for some time, it is, as a rule, im
possible to remove them, as the wash
ing with soap and water seems to in
delibly "fix" the discolorations.
If the walls of the bathroom must
be papereil, instead of painted or tiled,
it is an excellent plan to varnish over
the surface after the paper is put on.
The walls can then be wiped down
with a wet cloth, withoutdoiug injury.
A mixture of vinegar anil rock salt is
useful to cleau the inside of decanters.
Dissolve a handful of salt in nboat a
gill of vinegar; pour into the decanter
and shake thoroughly until the stains
have disappeared; then rinao well in
clear water.
Dandelions, spinach, dock, cowslips
or marsh marigolds, used for grc >;\s,
are the better for lying an hour in
cold water before being cooked. They
are also improved by a slight parboil
ing when cooked, the acrid, taste being
thus removed.
Cold Fish.
In a store where home aquarium sup
plies are sold there are, besides the
usual varied assortment of glass
globes, a number of larger tanks of va
rious shapes and sizes, In which stock
Is kept for sale. The tanks themselves
are, of course, sold if there Is a de
mand for them.
Lying across the corner of the largest
of these tanks Is a little net, the hoop
no more than five or six Inches In diam
eter, and the handle about a foot long.
This Is to scoop up the gold fishes
when they are sold. When a new out
fit Is sold complete the fishes arc de
livered In the globe or tank. It often
happens, however, that the person al
ready owning a globe wants to replace
fish that have been lost, or to add to
his stock, and he goes to the store
where such things are sold and buys
one or more gold fishes, Just as he
would buy any merchandise, except
that Instead of sitting down at a coun
ter to make his selections, he bends
over a tank and Indicates among tjie
fishes swimming about the ones lie
wants. As he makes his selections the :
dealer scoops them out with the little
net, and as likely as not the purchaser
carries the llsh he has bought, a single
fish or half a dozen, or whatever the
number may be, right away with him
in a tin pail.
Little gold fish of the commoner
kinds can be bought for a few cents
apiece. Some of the rarer varieties
cost dollars.—New York Sun.

"On the 28th of Sept., 1890, while in the
bloom of health. Beatrice was suddenly
and severely afflicted with spinal moniu

a paralytic stroke which twisted her head

Ho considered the case a very grave one.
Before long little Beatrice was compelled
to wear a plaster paris jacket. Prominent
physicians were consulted, electric bat
terles were applied, but no benefit was no
ticed until we tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"Busy in my kitchen one afternoon I was
startled by the cry of 'Mamma' from little
Beatrice who was creeping towards mo. I
had placed her on an improvised bed In the
parlor comfortably close to tho fireside
and given her some books and playthings.
She became tired of waiting for mo to come
back and made up her mind to go to me,
so her story, 'My Pink Pills made me
walk,' which she tells everyone who comes j
to our house, was then for the first time j

has now takon about nine boxes ot tho !

could rest but n few hours at a time." Dr.

It is a weapon which protects bicyclists against vicious dogs and foot-pads: travelers against rob-
TlB and toughs; homes against thieves and tramps, and is adapted to many other situations.
It does not bill or injure; it is perfectly safe to handle; mukes no noise or smoke; breaks no law an t
creates no lasting regrets, as does tlie bullet pistol. It simply and amply protects, by compelling the
foo to give undivided attention to himself for awhile instead of to tho Intended victim.
It is the only real weapon which protects and also makes fun, laughter and lots of it; it shoots, no*
once, but many times without reloading; and will protect by its appearance in time of danger, although
loaded only with liquid. It does not get out of order; is durable, handsome, and nickel plated.
