A vttu Co., Lowell, Mass. ' A King's Fear of Woman's Beauty. Charles XII. of Sweden feared only one power in the the power of beauty; only a handsome woman could boast of making him quail—she put him to flight. He said: "So many heroes have succumbed to the attrac tions of a beautiful face! Did not Alexander burn a town to please a ridiculous courtesan? I want my life to be free from such weakness; his tory must not find such a stain upon it." He was told one day that a young girl had come to sue for justice on be half of a blind octogenarian father maltreated by soldiers. The first in clination of the king, a strict disciplin arian, was to rush straight to the plaintiff, to hear the details of *hc misdemeanor for himself, but suddenly stopping, lie asked, "Is she good-look ing?" And being assured that she was both very young and unusually lovely, he sent word that she must wear a veil, otherwise he would not listen to her. WHY MRS. PINKHAM Is Able to Help Sick "Women When Hoe tors Fail, How gladly would men fly to wo man's aid did they but understand a woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at his command. To treat a case properly it is neces sary to know all about it, and full information, many times, cannot be given by a woman to her family pliy- MRS. Q. H. CUAPPELL. sician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women havo been con fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whoso advice has brought happi ness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, 111., whose portrait we publish, advises all ] suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink- j | ham's advice and use Lydia E. Pink- j ] ham's Vegetable Compound, as they cured her of inflammation of the ovaries and womb ; she, therefore, speaks from knowledge, and her experience ought to give others confidence. Mrs. Pink ham's address is Lynn, Mass., and her i advice is absolutely free. Compressed Air for Canal Locks. On the Erie canal at Lockport, N. Y., a pneumatic balance lock is being sub stituted for a flight of old-fashioned ; stone locks, says the Youth's Compan- ! ion. The new lock consists of two steel chambers, one for ascending and the other for descending boats. Each chamber is divided into two parts, an < upper one containing water to receive the boats and a lower one containing compressed air on which the upper chamber floats. When a boat has been ] run into the upper chamber it is either i lowered or raised, as may be desired, by filling or exhausting the air chamber beneath it. 1 !£farfftlfrsP ,r " T AKE THIS!

THE COST OF DYINC. Why the Sewing Woman Fays Ten Centi a Week. "I was behindhand with my rent last fall," Haiil the sewing woman, "and I caught an awful cold because I couldn't afford to buy n -w overshoes; but I always managed to have the in surance agent's money ready for Idm. when he called. You may think 10 cents a week is a small sum to bother about, hut when the season is over In my place u dime looks as big as a half dollar does when I am earning my $lO a week. Why do I pay It you ask? Well, 1 expect to get sick and die one of days, and then, if there wasn't the hundred dollars insurance money, how could I count on having a decent funeral? I know there are those who say that they never trouble their heads about such matters, but that Is no way for people tt> talk who have got any self-respect, though it tuny do well enough for drinking men and others that Potter's Field Is too good for. And 1 don't wlint to be caught as a friend of mine was last year. She is one of the happy-go-lucky, hnnd-to mouth sort of bodies who never lay up anything for n rainy day. She wouldn't look ut an Insurance man. Though that girl's mother was given up by the doctors for months before she died, there was only $3 in the house when the undertaker's meu came in-for the body. "Now, how much do you suppose that poor woman went in debt for the funeral? Fifteen dollars might be what the city has to pay for burying a pauper, hut It wouldn't begin to pay for anything that might be called a funeral. The undertaker's hill was $7. r >, and, everything considered, it was not an overcharge, although the debt ain't paid off yet. My friend says she is in no hurry to pay It, as she wants to find out first If the law can't compel her step-father to give up the mouts. He deserted his wife two years ago, running off with another woman. I think the person who contracts the debt Is the one that has to pay It, but there are those who seem to think they know more than I about such matters From what I have heard of the step father, I guess he would have been willing enough to turn his wife's body over t ) tile city to be buried like a dog, but I'm thankful to say there ain't many husbands like him that I know of, and that is the reason why so many widowers are married to their second wives before they get through paying for their first wives' funerals." —New York Times. W^( u Absorb Impuril(•. No compound of gelatine or milk Bhould be allowed to remain un covered, as both absorb impurities from the air. A eut onion is a gen uine scavenger in the same respect, and should never be used in cooking, nor should it be eaten, after it lias been cut for any length of time. If only half of a large onion has been used the other half can be safely re served for another occasion by wrap ping It securely iu paper. Hintfi for Tea Makem. The properties of tea depend chiefly upon the presence of a volatile oil that nets as n powerful stimulant The fact that this oil Is volatile mid easily lost Is the reason why tea should never boil or remain on the leaves after they are steeped, tfroen and black tea are made from the same plant, the only difference lying in the ways of curing, the green tea being made by much the quicker process. For a strong cup of tea a tenspoon ful to a cup of water Is the usunl proportion, while one teaspoonful to a pint of boiling water makes a weak cup. Very hard water should be boiled thoroughly for Ave or 10 min utes before it is used, so that the car bonate of llnte may be separated from the water, or on the other hand, It should be steeped four minutes longer boiling point, theu used before the separation eommeneed. Green tea should he steeped foud minutes longer than either Oolong or English break fast tea. A Suggestion for the Cook. Another point which the cook should know is the difference between sim mering and boiling. This Is readily tested with a cook's thermometer, when boiling point will he found at 213 degrees, simmering only demand ing ISO degrees. Roughly speaking. It Is easy to see the difference be tween the two. When a liquid boils at full pitch Its surface will be close ly covered with bubbles, and the whole surface, will, so to speak, rock and swell with the heat, In which con dition it very quickly boils over. When it simmers, however, the surface of 'the liquid will simply ripple like a pond into which a stone has been thrown, the water keeping all the time at a gentle shiver. This rip pling is called by French cooks the sourire or smile of the water. If you allow meat or anything that the cook ery books say should he simmered to boil up aud bubble, the substance In question will harden and become stringy, giving out all Its goodness to the liquid In which it is cooked, said liquid beiug only too frequently thrown away.via the sink. But if in your zeal to keep the dish at simmer ing point you keep It at the side of the stove, where the liquid never reaches "smiling" point, the substance In question may heat, but It will only steep, not cook.
