NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.
Regularity is a matter of importance
!n every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
derangement that may cause serious j
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will j
unsettle tho nerves and make women j
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per
formance of nature's function. The

public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and leucorrhaea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi
cines. I now wish to say that I never
had anything do mc so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound; also would
cay that your Sanative Wash has cured

HER OLD SPINET
Within her old spinet lies bid
So many quaint, dead melodies,
I think if she but raised tho lid,
Or idly touched the yellow keys,
Their ghosts would throng the quiet room,
Like the faint perfume of a rose
That died in some forgotten Juno.
Within her old spinet Is laid
What memories of vanished timesl
In this same seat, In stiff brocade,
One sang, perchance, her gallant rhymes.
I wonder if the powdered beau
Who bent to murmur his applause.
Felt tho same passion that I know.
Sweetheart, within your old spinet,
I, too, methinks, will breathe my pain,
So. when some idle day you let
Your hands stray o'er the keys again,
Haplvthey'll whisper back to you
The story of one long forgot,
Who worshiped whore ho dared not sue.

| THE BRIDES BARGAIN |
p Br lIELKN FORREST CRAVES. >'\'
(psffißjELL ine, did yon
see tho bride come
Iff borne last night?"
s aid Mrs. Bay
f/kf though!" said Miss
Drusilla Beames.
"I waited at tire
train, just a-pur
pose. The idea of Squire Brownell
marrying such a slip of a thing as
that! Hardly more than sixteen, with
hair flying down her back exactly like
a child's; and he past forty! 1 call it
ridiculous,"
And Miss Drnsilla, who had not
been without hopes of capturing the
well-to-do widower herself, turned
awny, with the frosty tip of her nose
elevated superciliously in the air.
But while tho villagers of Grange
field were thus freely expressing their
minds, Hetty Brownell, the bride, was
skipping from room to room of the
picturesque little oottage which was to
bo her summer home.
"Oh, what, a lovely pale blue car
pet!" eiied she. "And white muslin
curtains, looped with blue ribbon, and
a mirror that one can see one's whole
self in. But the dining-room is a deal
too dark and gloomy. I shall get
Cecil to have it reupholstered in rose
color or palo huff. And such a lot of
horrid old twisted chairs and spider
legged tables!"
She was as fresh and pretty as a
rosebud, with her baby-clear com
plexion, coral lips and iuuocent blue
eyes—this young wife of the sage law
yer's.
He had fallen in love with her as
suddenly and inextricably as if lie had
been a schoolboy instead of a widower
of forty.
She was the niece of the old man
who officiated as jauitor in the great
marble-fronted building on Cedar
street, where lawyers, brokers and
insurance agents congregated, like
human bees, in a huge, swarming
hive.
Old Hopkins was stupid and illiter
ate enough, hut Hetty was like a
delicate wayside flower, and Cecil
Brownell lost his heart to her at
onee. She had some education, for
; she was training for a district school
teacher, and she had an innocent win
ning way, which the lawyer could not
resist.
So he married her, and dreamed
away a happy month on the breezy
heights of the White Mountains, he
fore ho returned to the beaten tracks
of everyday life.
And now Hetty had ootno to Grange
field, where two staid old family ser
j vants, who had belonged to the first
j Mrs. Brownell, were waiting to
welcome her; and Mr. Brownell was
to follow, as soon as he had adjusted
his accumulated arrears of business.
"Why, she ain't nothing hut a
child," said Dorcas, as she flounced
hack into her kitchen. "I axed her
what was her orders for breakfast,
and she says—says she, *1 don't
know. Just what you please,' says
she."
"No more like the first missis than
ehalk is like cheese," retorted Mary
Ann. "We might as well have a big
wax doll about the place. If you'll
believe me, Dorcas, she's a-sittin' fiat
on the floor now, a-plavin' with the
cat!"
But Hetty Brownell was presently
aroused from her frolic with the kitteu
by the nasal and insinuating accents
of a peddler, who had come clear up
on the veranda, and wr.s putting his
head through the lace draperies of the
windows.
"China, ma'am?" said he, with a
bow and a scrape. "Elegant vases?
Gift cups an' sa-aaoers? Mantle-tier
ornaments? In exchange for second
hand clothes, or any old truck you've
got about the house, ma'am."
Hetty looked at the contents of the
well-piled basket with sparkling eyes.
She had all tho admiration for gaudy,
Bhowy things that belongs to a savage
or a child.
"How pretty!" said she picking out
a gilded vase, painted all over with
sprawling roses. "But I haven't any
old clothes."
"Oh, I ain't noways particular,
ma'am," said tho man. "Any old
stick of furniture'U do—plated-ware,
piclers, anything under the suu us
you're tired of."
Hetty looked around. In her secret
mind she had already established the
gift vase on the top of an antiquo
cabinet opposite, and filled it with the
honeysuckle sprays that were twining
so luxuriantly around the piazza col
umns; and sho took ail ancient and
varnished-looking porcelain ornament
from tho sideboard—a dragon, with
dim green eyes, and shifting peacock
tinU of emerald and pearl.
' that is all I care to give nway,"
said Hetty. "What is the price of
your vase?" ' ,
"Cheap at three dollars, ma'am,"
■aid the neddler. restina the end of
bis basket on tbe edge of the table,
and looking greedily at tbe dragon.
"Well, I'll tell you what I'll do,"
said Hetty, who bad as much chance
at a bargain with tbe peddler as an in
experienced chicken might stand with
a wily old fox. "I'll give you this
thing and a dollar for your vase."
"Couldn't you make it a dollar and
a half, ma'am?" said tbe mau, screw
ing bis eyes down to mere slits.
"I've only a dollar in change," said
Hetty. "And it's all I can afford.
After all, we've plenty of vases, only
I rather liked the looks of that one."
And she turned indifferently away,
Becretly flattering herself that she wa3
manceuvering to the best advantage
"Hold on a minute ma'am," said
tho peddler. "I ain't done much this
morning, and I'm hound to make a
trade somehow, even if I lose by it.
Give us the dollar and the old china
reptile, and tho elegant new vase is
yourn."
And in five minntes Hetty had her
prize filled with rosebuds and honey
suckles, and silvery green sprays of
Southern wood.
"My first purchaso in the new
house," said Hetty, to herself. "Won't
Cecil be pleased when he sees it!"
It was three days, however, before
Squire Brownell was nble to rejoin
his young wife; and Hetty, who had
no intellectual resources to fall back
Upon—who hated practicing, and in
variably went to sleep over a book—
found tho flower-twined cottage dull
enough.
But when at last tho squire's burly
figure appeared at the garden-gate.
Hetty ran joyfully to meet him, lier
pale gold-hair floating like a halo in
the sunshine, and her cheeks flushed
with the softest pink that ever painted
the inside of a seasheil.
"Well, Puss!" said the squire, his
own face brightening up at the idea of
such a welcome on the threshold which
had so long been dreary and deserted,
"so you're really glad to see me?"
"Oh, so glad, Cecil!" cried the
bride, slipping her arm through his,
and nestling close to his side. "And
I've been so dismally lonesome with
out you."
"There was that edition of Dickens,"
said the squire, patting her cheek.
"Dickens is so stupid," said Hetty.
"I never could understand what peo
ple seo to laugh at in Dickens!"
"Well, dear," said the indulgent
husband, "now I've come hack, we'll
go out on horseback, and I'll teach
you to drive that pony phaeton, and
we'll see about remodeling the garden
beds, and all that sort of thing."
He sat down ns he spoke, on the
veranda, fanning his heated face with
the brim of his straw hat.
Hetty vanished through the lace
curtains, which were blowing about in
tho soft summer breeze, and presently
returned, holding up the gaudy gilt
vase, with its sprawling roses and big
green leaves.
"I've got a surprise for you, Cecil,"
said she. "See what I've bought!"
The squire winced a little. He was
a judge of ceramics, audthis particular
specimen affected him iu a startling
and unpleasant manner.
"Don't you like it, Cecil? "Why, 1
thought you would bo so pleased,"
said unconscious Hetty.
"Like it? Ob, yes, my dear! I
dare say it's very pretty," said the
squire, observing the evident disap
pointment in her face. "Bat you'll
learn, after awhile, to discriminate
between real china and this sort of
thing."
"I'm sure tho roses are beautiful,"
said Hetty, turning the hideous thing
round and around.
"Certainly, my dear," said the good
humored squire, opening his leather
traveling-hog. "And now let me show
you what a pleasant surprise I have
prepared for you. The greatest
bargain in the world! I chanced to
discover it in a little second-hand
shop, down in Chatham street, and I
got it for only twenty dollars. And
what makes it more especially valuable
is that it's the dead match to one that
my grandmother brought from Paris,
in the reign of the first Napoleon.
Never saw two articles so much alike
in all my life."
All this time ho was fumbling in the
depths of his traveling-bag, and finally
succeeded in disinterring a small
pasteboard box, which he opened in
some triumph.
But Hetty's cheeks turned pinker
still ns he took out tho identical
cmerald-hued dragon, with the flimy
green eyes, which she had bargained
off' to the china peddler three days
ago!
"I wonder how it will compare with
the other?" said he, rising and goiug
into the dining-room. "Why— Hel
lo! Where is the thing? Dorcas!
Mary Ann! Where have the women
put it?"
"Cecil." said Hetty, taking hold of
the third button of the squire's coat,
and speaking in a very lew tone,
"pleaso don't be vexed, but—hut I
traded off that very ugly old cracked
dragon to a china peddler for this
vase."
"What!" roared the squire.
"Yes," said Hetty; "I know it by
tho oblong bit chipped off just under
its eyes. I—l didn't know it was so
valuable. Au l I wanted the gilt vase
so much!"
If Hetty hadn't been a bride, and
such a pretty bride, the squire might
have expressed his mind plainly 011
the subject; for he was au adorer of
antique china, and it was not pleas
ant to reflect that ho had just bought
his own green dragon at a fancy price.
But the honeymoqn was scarcely
over, and Hetty was such a child, af
ter all.
"My dear," said the squire, after
swallowing a lump in his throat,
"don't drive any more such bargains."
"No," said Hetty, meekly; "I
won't." —Saturday Night.

CARRIER PICEONS IN WAR. J
They Did Not Prove a§ Successful as thm
Navy Department Expected.
Carrier pigeons have not proven the
success expected of tliem iu the war as
a means of communication between
ships and the shore. Just preceding
the declaration of war the naval au
thorities made most extensive prepara
tions for placing in operation the car
rier pigeon system, and established im
portant cotes at all the leading naval
stations along the coast from Ports
mouth down to the Tortugas.
Out ou the California coast a big
station was located at Mare Island,
and this is the only oue where satis
factory results were obtained. Key
West was made the chief station, how
ever, for it was anticipated that at this
point Ihsre would be more occasion for
using pigeons to communicate with
vessels of! the Cuban coast. An ex
pert keeper of cotes was sent to Key
West, the prize pigeons secured in
Europe by Professor Marion, of tha
Naval Academy were amougthe flyers,
and every care and attention was given
the birds to secure good results.
During the early days of the war
prompt and frequent communication
was kept up between Tortugas and
Key West by the pigeons, but this
was not always to he depended upon, as
the birds often failed to perforin their
duties. Each ship on the blockading
fleet, and those that later weut East
with Admiral Sampson, were provided
with pigeons to carry messages to the
naval commander at Key West, so that
the authorities in Washington might bs
kept informed of the movements of the
ships. Many of those sent from ves
sels in front of Havana flow back and
delivered their messages, but in some
cases ships at a long dislauc3 from
shore were unable to communicate by
pigeon with Key West. The reports
that have been received on the opera
tions of the system fail to account for
tha unsatisfactory results obtained,
unless, as they state, they have been
due to climatio conditions, which are
unfavorable in the South, it is be
lieved, to long flights and reliable ser
vice.
The pigeons in fifty per cent, of the
cases returned to the cote, the others
having been reported lost or unac
counted for. Some experts ou the
system believe that the birds found
other attractions than their cote, and
that the wild berries and fruits of
southern Florida and the north Cuban
const may have defleoted them. Good
results were obtained, however, with
the cotes at Portsmouth, N. H., and
that at Newport, although the navy
had littlo opportunity to use them in
connection with ships at sea. The
California cote was a success in every
way, the longest flights recorded by
the pigeons varying from 250 to 275
miles, the distance having been cov
ered between San Francisco and ships
of the military expeditions carrying
troops to Manila.
The navy will cultivate the use of
the pigeons in sending and receiving
communications along shore and be
tween vessels, and intend enlarging
the entire system by the establishment
of the additional cotes on the sea
board, so that they may be brought
close together, and thus enable one
Btation to be in easy reach of the next
by carrier pigeons.

A POST-MORTEM VIEW.
A CastlUm Expert Writes of United
States Warships as Mere Tubs.
It seems almost incredible that the
Spaniards should ever have considered
Cervera's fleet superior to anything we
could send against it, yet such seem 3
to be the case. If they believed the
comparisons of the two navies made
by their ne./spapcrs they are logically
correct in their conclusion.
These articles, says the Chicago
Chronicle, written by Spanish naval
experts, appeal strongly to a credulous
people and represent our warships as
absolutely valueless, while their own
are simply marvels. A. do Canta, the
most popular naval writer in Spain,
makes a remarkable comparison in La
Ulustracion Nacional of Madrid that is
quite sufficient to inspire his country
men with confidence.
He admits that the United States has
the larger fleet, but shows that it is
practically valueless. "It is manned
by the dregs of an almost worthless
population—criminals and released
convicts. For the most part these are
foreigners without the slightest pa
triotism. The crews, being animated
by motives of supidity alone, are des
titute of that pride and enthusiasm
that control Spaniards." For these
reasons, Mr. Canta concludes: "The
result Is, therefore, that if our navy
is inferior to the American navy iD
quantity it is greatly superior In qual
ty, since our sailors, in addition to
their transcendent bravery, which ia
universally acknowledged, possess dis
cipline, enthusiasm and confidence,
which the Yankees are far from hav
ing."
Having demonstrated the uttei
worthless character of the sailors who
man our ships, the rival of Weyler and
Munchausen in the art of lying goes
on to compare the ships of the two
navies, describing that of Spain as
made up of ships faultless in construc
tion, armored and armed to suit the
queen regent's taste, marvels of speed,
veritable things of beauty.
Words almcst fail him when he
makes a sanguinary attack upon our
ships. He declares that the battle- j
ships Indiana, Oregon and Massa
chusetts, which he calls "cruisers of
the first class," cannot go to sea with
anything like full coal bunkers. If
they should the "waves would wash
over them." They are only suitable
for coast guards. The recent sailing
record of the Oregon somewhat dis
credits this criticism.
He says the battleships California
and Pennsylvania are under construc
tion, which will be news to Americans.
He declares the Texas to be woefully
deficient. "Her machinery is bad —be-
yond repairing—her torpedoboat tubes
are useless. She is a bad lot."
The only American ship of which
he speaks kindly is the Brooklyn. He
says she is fast and "can, therefore, re
fuse to fight at all," a point which the
Spaniards in the Caribbean appear to
appreciate.

stiff fight." "Sir, it is not a battle
ship. It is an auxiliary cruiser, one
of those Yankee pleasure yachts has
tily transformed into a war vessel."

replied: "Then there is no help for us.
Run the ship on shore, beach her, and

A Freak of Nature.
The county of Herefordshire. Eng
land, possesses a remarkable freak ol
nature —two trees have joined togethei
about ten feet from the ground b>
what appears to be a single branch. A
:loser examination shows, however
ihat the connection has been formed
by branches growing from both trees;
these two branches having met, and
,n the course of time, grown together
it is probable that these twin trees are
unique in England; at any rate, from
the manner in which the curiosity lias
been grown they must be very rare.
The Risk of lifting Murdered.
About 1,000 murders occurred in
England and Wales during the last J
period of five years for which facts I
are available. There were, during the
same time, nearly 160,000,000 persons
of all ages exposed to the risk of being
murdered, that is 30,000,000 in any one
year. The yearly risk of being mur
dered is, therefore, only the very
small degree of probability expressed
by the odds of one to 150.000, and if
a lifetime be counted us 100 years, the !
chance of being murdered some time :
is only one in 1.500.

In the early morning, as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember thai
you are in the very presence chambei
of God, who has been watching besidi
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con
secrate to Him those first fpw mo
ments before you leave your couch.
Look on toward the coming day,
through the golden haze of the light
that streams from the angel of His
presence. You can forecast very large;
ly what your difficulties are likely ta
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may
need carrying. Take care not to view
any of. these apart frcm God. Be sure
that He will be befween yen and them,
as the ship is between the traveiei
and the ocean, be it fair or stormy.—
