    Nervous Prostration.
A Noted Boston Woman Describes
its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two
Severe Cases Cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
" I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There
Isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs
are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I
am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and
palpitation of the heart; am losing flesh; and this headache
and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics.
" There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing
down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs I
can't sleep, walk, or sit, and blue —oh goodness! lam simply
the most miserable of women."
This is a most vivid description of a woman suffering with
nervous prostration, caused by iullamination or some other
diseased condition of the womb.
No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection
of misery when there is no need of it. Read about Miss
Williamson's case and how she was cured.
Two SSzd Gases of Marvous Prostration Cured.
'•DEAR MRS. PINKHAM ; I
was suffering such tortures
from nervous prostration that
life was a burden. I could
not sleep at all, and was too
weak to walk across the flopr.
My heart was affected so that
often I could not lie down at
all without almost suffocating.
I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and it
worked like magic. I feel that
your medicine has been of in
estimable benefit to me."

NicarauUnn Custom*.
Among the many odd customs of
Nicaragua, those relating to the dead
are the weirdest to the stranger.
Some of these have been handed
down by tradition from the Indians,
others were'brought over by the Con
querors—and the two are so blended
that it is difficult to toll which pre
dominates. As soon as the medico
pronounces one's illness fatal, word
is sent to the village padre, who pre
pares to administer the last sacra
ments of the church to the dying per
son. Placing the consecrated wafer
in the custodia—a vessel of solid gold
or silver, often resplendent with rare
jewels—a procession is formed and
marches through the street. A small
boy, ringing a bell, rushes ahead to
announce the approach of the sacred
presence, and after him follows a
band of music, often a single violin,
playing a dirge. If it be possible to
secure any soldiers, they surround the
padre, who, dressed in brilliant vest
ments, is generally carried in a chair,
over which four men hold a purplo
canopy. As the little cortege moves
down the silent streets, every one
hares his head and kneels, making the
sign of the cross until the last soldier
has passed. Woe to the sacrilegious
stranger who fails to show tills mark
of respect, and many have been the In
stances where foreigners were pulled
from their horses and even stoned
for neglecting to follow this time
honored custom.—W. Nephew King ;

A Woman an,l tile Telephone.
What a wonderful thing the tele
phone is, and what a comfort to women
it may be made, is illustrated in an in
cident of a few days ago, brought ahou(|
by the kind act of a thoughtful and in
dulgent husband, who is a well-known
business man of this city. He decided
to give his wife a birthday surprise,
so he arranged that at a certain mo
ment her mother, who lives in New
York, and whom she had not seen for
months, should ring up her daughter in
this city. When tho telephone bell
sounded in the business man's house
at the time agreed upon he answe-ed
the ring and then, turning from the
telephone, he said to his wife; "Dearie,
here's your mother on the wire In
New York." The wife bustled to the
telephone and heard the familiar voice
of her mother in the utterance of one
word, "Daughter." The answer of the
business man's wife was: "Oh, moth
er." Next came the sound of a sob
from the mother over the wire, which
was answered with a sob from this
ond. These women then proceeded to
cry to each other In the most accepted
feminine style until the telephone
tolls amounted to $5, which announce
ment from "central" caused an abrupt
breaking off of communication. The
business man's wife declared, however,
that it was the loveliest experience
sha over had. —Philadelphia Record.
MINNESOTA'S SEPARABLE SPEAKER.
Bow lie Secured nn Interview with the
Sultan of Sulti.
Michael Bowling, speaker of the
house of representatives of the Minne
sota legislature, is a remarkable man.
He is the product of a Minnesota bliz
zard. December 14, 1880, he was lost
in a roaring blizzard in Yellow Medi
cine county and so badly frozen that
it was necessary to amputate one leg
above the knee, the other above the
ankle, one arm at the elbow and all
the fingers of the right hand.
Twenty years later to a day he had
won a victory in a hard contest for
speaker, a victory so overwhelming
that when the legislature met not a
single opponent was left.
When the blizzard had done its
work and left him a mere physical
reminder of his former self he was so
poor that he became a public charge.
But Dowling was determined and am
bitious, and that tells the rest of his
life story in brief. He got a good
education, became an adept on arti
ficial legs, returned to Renville, a
county adjoining the one from which
he had been so ignoiminiously exclud
ed, got a small local public office;
worked into the ownership of a weekly
newspaper; then appeared in the ses
sions of the state legislature as a
clerk; next became secretary of tho
National League of Republican clubs,
being nominated to that position as
the "frozen son of Minnesota." Ho
secured recognition as a man of execu
tive ability and a good campaigner.
Next he turned up as a newspaper
correspondent in the Philippines,
where he visited all the principal i
lands from Luzon to the Sulus.
Dowling's success in obtaining a*
interview with the Sulu Sultan was
characteristic. He was admitted to
the barbaric presence, but not a word
could he extract from the taciturn po
tentate. Dowling promptly proceeded
to take himself to pieces. Off came
a leg. The Sultan evinced signs of
interest. Off came an arm. The Sul
tan leaned forward to look. Off came
another leg. The Sultan was now
alert with interest and satisfactorily
voluble. Dowling got his interview
as he proceeded to replace his artifi
cial anatomy.
Returning from the Philippines
Dowling reached the United States in
time to attend the Republican National
Convention. His peaked Filipino hat
was one of the sights of Minnesota
headquarters at Philadelphia. Later
he became a candidate for the legisla
ture on the Republican ticket, won
easily and immediately announced
himself as a candidate for speaker.—
Boston Daily Advertiser.
Qupen Victoria's Tartan.
Early in her reign Queen Victoria
adopted a tartan, or, to be exact, she
resumed one, for byway of James I.
of England she is entitled to use one.
Accordingly, the royal household dis
ports itself in the dress plaid of the
Stuarts when it holds forth at Bal
moral, and it has now become so thor
oughly identified with the present
English sovereign that it is called tho
Victoria tartan. This is the well
known 'due, green, white and yellow
plaid mounted on a white ground, in
stead of the vivid red that is usually
seen.
To complicate the matter of.tartans
further, each clan was likely to have
a hunting plaid, a dress plaid, a
mourning plaid, and the plaid that
was worn exclusively by the chief and
his immediate family. Then, too, if
you happen to be a Cameron, for ex
ample, and think it an easy matter to
betake yourself to a shop and demand
the Cameron plaid, you had better be
certain whether you are a Cameron of
Lochiel or a Cameron of Erraclit.
Similarly, you may be a Mac Donald of
Clanranald, of Sleat, or of Staffa, It
will make an immense difference in
the kind of tartan you get, and it is
not to be expected that a Campbell of
Argyll would be seen in the tartan of
the Campbells of Cawdor, or in that
of the Campbells of Loudoun. There
is, by tho way, at least one of the large
shops in New York that always has
the correct tartans imported from
Scotland in stock. As the demand for
them increases it is probable that it
will be easy to obtain the genuine ar
ticle here will all the accuracy that
distinguishes the Edinburgh shops.
Tho Baltimore Orlnlo.
The Baltimore oriole is one of the
most ingenious of bird architects, and
employs any material that is accessi
ble. String, hair, grasses and plant
fibres are often used, and one bird lov
er tells of a nest made completely of
silk thrown from the windows of a
neighboring siik factory.
In the bright piumaged birds of the
temperate region the brilliant coloring
is usually localized. The common
bluebird has head, back, wings and
ta.il of the brightest, purest blue, but
the breast is russet and the under
parts white. The all blue birds are the
indigo bird and the grosbeak.
Yellow Ih a common color on parts
of the plumage, but only one yellow
bird even approximates freedom from
other colors. That is the little yellow
warbler, which has but slight mark
ings of russet and olive. The cardinal
grosbeak, the summer redbird and the
scarlet tanager are almost wholly red.
Tho first ha 3 a ring of black around
the bill, the second lias wings shading
to brown, and the third has black
wings and tail, while the rest of his
plumage is of the most brilliant scar
let.
In the Sea.
Tho salt and other solid matter con
tained in the ocean would be sufficient
to entirely cover the dry land witli a

The Mum Family.
There is a funny family,
Of which I often hear.
In which the difference in size
To me seems very queer.
The family, I judge, is small—
Two seems to be the sum—
And Minnie Mum the one is called;
The other, Max I. Mum.
Now Minnie Mum is always shown
To be exceeding small,
While Max I. Mum a giant is,
So very large and tall.
But hand in hand they march about
As fond as fond can be,
And proud they are to let the world
Their striking contrast see.
This thought I might have given you
In one short rhyming verse,
And that would be the minimum.
Or, what would be much woise,
Through stanzas something like a
score.
My muse I might let hum
To tell the same, and that, you see,
Would be the maximum.

110110 and Red I'effgy.
Rollo was a puppy—a big mastiff
puppy. He lived in the city with Mr.
and Mrs. James and their little daugh
ter Bessie. Mr. and Mrs. James thought
a great deal of Rollo, or they could
never have had patience with him, for
puppies are capable of much mischief
and young Rollo was no exception; ho
seemed determined to try his teeth on
everything, but just when Mrs. James
began to feel as if she could not much
longer have every valuable article in
the house chewed up, she hit upon a
funny plan for managing him. It hap
pened that a new doll for little Bessio
had just arrived, which so pleased her
that tho old favorite —a doll made of
red flannel, and named "Red reggy"—
generally lay neglected in a corner. As
Rollo was settling himself one day to
chew a little stocking, Mrs. James
tossed. Red Peggy toward him, telling
him to bite that if he must bite some
thing! From that hour Red Peggy
was adopted by the young mastiff. He
carried her with him about the house,
even took her sometimes to call on
the neighbors, and would carry her
down street if not watched. Rollo's
treatment of her did not greatly im
prove Red Peggy's looks, but that made
no difference to him. He seemed to
like to play with his doll as if he were
a little girl instead of a dog. One day
when he had been biting his little com
panion a long time, Mrs. James said
to him reproachfully, "Why, Rollo.how
you do abuse poor Red Peggy!' Rollo
raised his head and looked at his mis
tress a minute or two, as if he were
thinking over what she had said. Then
in a very repentant way, he began to
lick his doll; nor did he stop until he
had licked her all over. That is a dog's
way of kissing. Another time Rollo
trotted over to visit a neighbor across
the street. Of course Red Peggy went
too. The man to whom he was paying
the visit wished to send a paper over to
Mr. James, and thought he would have
Rollo carry it. So he took Red Peggy
away from the mastiff, laid her on
the step, putting the paper instead in
Rollo's mouth, then told him to carry
it home. Rollo gave a dignified wag
to the end of his tail and trotted to
the gate, where he stopped and
thought a minute; then he laid down
the paper and went straight back for
Red Peggy. Several attempts ended in
the same way. At last the doll was
carefully rolled in the paper, which
was then given to Rollo with a sharp
order, "Go home!" Rollo trotted away
quickly; but when he reached the mid
dle of the road he deliberately laid
down his bundle, poked his nose into
it till he found his beloved Red Peg
gy, lifted her out, and then ran tri
umphantly home with her, leaving the
paper in the road. In fact, so long as
I knew Rollo, he never would obey any
command which forced him to lay his
dear Red Peggy down, nor go to any
place where ho must ieave her behind,
in his way quite outdoing little girls
in his love for his doll. —Rose Thorn in
Little Folks.
rruhicm for tho Yoniignterft.
Half a dozen members of the house
were busy with pencil and paper in the
cloak room yesterday. Their brows
were knitted and they were as earnest
in their figuring as if they had been
candidates for clerkships in a civil
service examination. Near them sat
Representative Loudenslager of New
Jersey, who had given them a problem
in arithmetic. Here is what Loudens
lager had given them, says the Wash
ington Post:
"A man with three sons called them
together and told them that he pro
posed to make disposition of his prop
erty. He said he had 150 apples, of
which he would give fifteen to his
youngest son, fifty to his second son,
and eighty-five to his eldest eon.
'Now,' he said, 'I want you to go out
and sell these apples at the same price
per apple and yet each of you bring in
the same amount. And the eldest son
must fix the price.'
When the congressmen heard his
problem they laughed, as if they were
being imposed upon. "It cannot be
done," said Hopkins of Illinois.
"is there a sell in this?" asked Gam
ble of South Dakota.
"Nothing but the sell of the apples,"
replied Mr. Loudenslager. With this
assurance the statesmen began to
work. For a quarter of an hour they
figured and figured, and then they gave
It up, as tho children say.
"Weil," said Mr. Ixmdenslager, "the
boys went out on the street and the
youngest son met a man who asked
him what he would sell his apples for.
'You must go to my eldest
said the boy, and the man did as he
was told. 'I will sell you my apples
for one cent a dozen,' said the eldest
brother, so he sold eighty-four of his
apples for four cents and had two left
over, while the youngest boy sold
twelve of his apples for one cent and
had three remaining. It was then very
easy to comply with their father's re
quirements. The eldest son fixed a
price of three cents apiece for each of
the apples left over. He sold his re
maining one for three cents and had
ten cents; the second boy sold his two
for six cents and also had ten cents,
while the yougest brother sold his re
maining three for nine cents, which,
added to the one he already had, gavo
him ten cents. Then all three boys
went to their father with an equal
amount for their apples, which had
sold for the same price.
An Author nnd a I>oc.
"I was at Elk Kapids, Mich., one
summer," said the bookman, "and as I
was strolling around one day I met an
Indian with a dog. It was a real In
dian dog, long bodied, short legged,
and the homeliest canine I ever looked
at. I had no sooner set my eyes on
him than I felt like throwing clubs
and running him into Lake Michigan.
The Indian saw my feelings in my fac<
and said:
" 'Tie dog up. You throw. One cent
a throw.'
"The idea tickled me, and I told him
to go ahead. While he was tying the
dog to a bush I collected a hatful of
stones from the beach and got ready
for business. The Indian drew a line
within thirty feet of his canine and
told me to go ahead, while he picked
up a stick to tally as I threw. I didn't
want to knock that dog's head off or
break one of his legs, but I did want
to plunk him once or twice for his
looks. I thought it would be the easi
est thing in the world, but that was
where I made a great mistake. As
true as you live, I threw exactly 100
stones at that dog and never grazed
him. He was tied by a long rope and
he was lightning on the dodge. At
the 100 th stone I gave up in disgust,
but next day I made up my mind to
hit that dog or die. On that day it
cost me $1.70 for throws and still no
hits. On the third day it cost me $2
and at the end of a week I was out
$7 and hadn't a tally. I was getting
lop shouldered, nearsighted and ugly
tempered and my wife coaxed me to
give up throwing and go fishing. The
Indian and his dog were on tap, as
usual, and when I turned them down
the crafty old buck smiled blandly and
said:
All right. You come back next year
and throw more—throw thousand
times and I make wholesale and meb
be you hit dog!"
She Whipped Seven Hoys,
Seven of the largest boys in the
"White Grocery" school whipped in
one day is the record established by
Miss Minnie Roff, a pretty brown-hair
ed young lady, declares an' Akron, 0.,
dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer!
When she accepted the position as
teacher she found the classes sadly dis
organized and discipline was at a low
ebb. First she tried to bring the hoys
to her way of thinking by treating
them kindly. This did not have the
effect she anticipated. The boys took
the favors extended as an indication
that they could do as they pleased. Re
cently they discovered the error of
their ways. Miss Hoff opened the
school with a direct notice to the bad
boys in the front row that she would
trounce the first that violated any of
the rules and regulations governing
the institution. It was only a few
minutes before she was called upon to
make good her warning. She per
formed tlie task in away that left no
doubt in the minds of those who wit
nessed the episode that she was ejual
to the occasion. During the day six
others were called forward and trim
med in the most approved fashion. 1
The parents of Rufus Wright, one of
the boys, had Miss Hoff arrested on
a charge of assault and battery. Sho
was in the police court recently to an
swer to the charge. Practically all of
Springfield township was with her.
After hearing the story of the trdubio
the court, attorneys for the prosecu
tion and spectators agreed that Miss
Hoff was justified and that she was the
right woman in the right place. "The
only thing she is to be censured for is
that she did not lick more of them and
offener," said the court, in dismissing
the case.
One Way to Tell Talent.
One good way, I think, to judge
whether we have a talent for anything
or not is to watch the motive that
draws us toward doing a thing. If wo
do it because it is the fashion, or be
cause other girls are doing it, or be
cause we have to do it for some use
ful purpose, it is not probable that
we have a real talent for it; but if we
find ourselves doing it just because wo
really love it and would rather do it
than not; if it is doing the thing itself
that attracts us. and not the eclat It
is going to give us in the eyes of oth
ers—why, then I think we may reason
ably conclude that God has given us a
real talent for that particular sort of
thing.
