CHANGE OF LIFE, Some Sensible Advice to Wo men by Mrs. E. Sailer. " DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : —When I passed through what is known as ' change of life,' I had two years' suf fering,— sudden heat, and as quick chills would pass over me ; my appetite was variable and I never could tell for MRS. E. SAILER, President German Relief Association, Los Angeles, Cal. a day at a time how I would feel the next day. Five bottles of Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed all that, my davs became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day tince—now six years. 44 Wo have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore a poor mother to health so she can support her self and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid. You have my hearty endorsement, for you have proven yourself a true friend to suffering wo men."—MßS. E. SAILER, 756 S Hi 11 St., Los Angeles, Cal.— S6OOO forfeit Ifakooe tes timonial l not genuine. No other person can gfvo such helpful advice to -women who are sick as can Mrs. Pinkham, for no other lias had sucli great experience—her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice free—if you are siclt write her —you are foolish if you don't. FORTUNES FOUND BY ACCIDENT. Queer Places Men Have Hidden Large Surre of Money. "In the sure knowledge that man doeos not turn to his bible until he is in the greatest distress, I have placed SSOO in notes between pages 141 and 142—Hamburg. 1870.' Tills curious and welcome letter was l'ound by a Hamburg shopkeeper when, in dire misfortune, lie had determined to sell the family bllile that had been in his possession for many years. Looking through It before taking it out of the house, ho found the letter and bank notes. At such a critical time a for tune would not have been more wel come. The shopkeeper had failed in business, his wll'o had long been .11. and consequently ho was much in debt. The discovery of over $60,000 was the result of a game at hide-and seek. Some children were playing near the ruins of ail old mansion in the Canton of Argoore, Switzerland, when one of them, hldiug from the others, found a large box partially burned. It was almost filled with money, jewelry and other valuables. The father, on behalf of the children, claimed $5,000 as a reward for their find. His claim waj contested, how ever, and tlio Swiss courts eventually awarded SSOO to the children. Impoverished Blood.

When the (Jphir, with the Duke ana Duchess of Cornwall on board, was nearing St. Helena,. the signal was mhde to the attendant cruisers, St. George and Juno, as it was desirable to reach port before nightfall, "Can you steam another knot?" and the Juno replied, "Yes, four if you please." This answer was regarded as imperti nent, and when the vessels reached Portsmouth, as a mild form of pun ishment, the Juno was ordered to lie up the harbor, while the more re spectful St. George came alongside the dockyard. And the Juno is lying at her moorings still.

WUVWI'-WWfe| l. ■r , C,-^*l.l-.l_MJ]Uj JOHNSON AND BOSWELL. The Biographer a Shrewd Man, Wh; Knew His Value. It will be said, and truthfully said, 808 well was a great artist. So in deed lie was. a superb artist and a self-conscious one. Nobody knew bet ter tlian be what a great subject good luck bad put in his way. lie loved Johnson with perfect sincerity, but ho also loved that James Boswell who lroni his earlier days had been sim ply devoured with anxiety for literary lame. Boswell saw his way to write a book the. world would willingly let die. But these considerations fail al together to reassure me; indeed, It is just these very considerations that fill me with alarm. I am dreadfully suspicious of great artists bent on Im mortality. Their one object, their fixed and almost fierce determination, Is to make a great and lasting Im pression In the minds of men; and to do tills they know, else were they no artiste, that they must make great sarriflce —they must leave some tilings out —they must put other things In — the color must not lie too bright in this place or too faint In that. Much has to be sacrificed ere you can pro duce either a great book or a great picture. What if It is the truth? Suppose, after all, the Johnson we know and love is, indeed, only Bos well's Johnson. Something, of course, must be allowed to the idlosyncracl is of the biographer. Nobody sees any thing in exactly the same light as rn other. Burke's Johnson, Levitt's John son, were doubtless all different, each from the other, and from Boswell's Johnson. THE GRUMBLER. riie grumbler growls at nature's plan; He's sorry that he's human.

Notorious "Billingsgate. * This is the notorious Billingsgate, but one looks in vain for the iish-wifc who made its ancient fame. It is no use to inquire after her from the porters, they have never heard of her existence. Her brawny arms are for gotten, her eagle eye for custom, her thrist for gin, her shrewd gibes, her ready pipe and her more ready re partee, her torrents of invective. Evil answers made her bile boil over. Only one human means was ever found to quiet her. It. is said to be one of Ilorne Tooke's titles to fame that lie silenced a fish-wife with the retort; ".Madam, believe me, you are a par allclopipedon." But what mail could not accomplish for one moment has been done forever by the slow lapse of years. Of all her rhetorical armory only profanity remains, anil even this is so like the universal profanity of man that it makes the fish-wife seem the more hopelessly extinct. John Corbin, in Scrlbner's. Co Witt rce ICultMl by tlie Title, For some twenty centuries, the com merce of London has drifted up with the tide, and down with the tide.

It is at last well proved, this philosophy of drifting and steering. Who can say that It will not continue to rule the world for another 2000 years?
