Tradition says “woman must suf- fer,”sand young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman fuffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina- tion ; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass. ‘ Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irregular menstruation— had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell, and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing in the world equals Mrs. Pinkham’s great medicine for regu- lating woman’s peculiar monthly troubles. Never dispute with a man more t seventy years of age, or with a we of any age.

Chicago spends $600,000 a year in street lighting; Boston, $650,000; Cin- cinnati, $425,000; Baltimore, $350,000; San Francisco, $245,000; Providence, $250,000; New: Orleans, $230,000; Cleve- land, $325,000, and Washington, a city of long distances, low houses and wide streets, $235,000. New York will ex- pend for street lighting in 1901 §$2,- 745,000 for gas and electricity. Of this total Manhattan uses $960,000; Brook- lyn, $950,000; The Bronx, $350,000; Queens, $355,000, and Richmond, $130, 000. By comparison with the expend- itures of other American cities for il- | lumination, New York's annual pay- ment may seem to be abnormally high, but there are various reasons why the cost of public lighting should be prc- portionately much larger here than elsewhere. New York has a larger waterfront than any other American city. While other cities have usually one public market, New York has a ! dozen, and the eight included within the borough of Manhattan use on an | average 5,000,000 cubic feet of gas in a year. rent Many other American cities the premises they require for pub- departments, whereas New York ns most of her public buildings, and bills, which in some other S are met by private individuals cas | are in most cases here paid directly | gas and electric. | electric lamps. | progressive of the boroughs | York in this particular, has all ecect | of the te: from the appropriation, which, while nominaily for street lighting, actually includes all forms of illumination fo> which the city is responsible. New York has in all nearly 60,000- lamps, There are 30,000 in New York and The Bronx, of w 286 are gas lamps, 4,538 electric, the others naphtha lamps. Bro: has 11,015 gas lamps and 4,603 elec- tric lamps, Queens borough, the mos: extensive division of New York to b> lighted, has 3,839 gas lamps and 2,105 most Richmond, the of lights—no gas. Of these, 2,883 are in- candescent lamps and 382 are arc li # There are, moreover, 100 oj] lamps in use in Richmond borough.

LIEU ABEL C,. HUNT. A Bright Salvation Army Lassie.

In some « their recklessness in thus exposing themselves has been commented upon as almost suicidal. Their ansv such ¢ isms invariably is their un failing faith in the Divine injunction to “do right and fear not.” Lieut. Hur explains one of the means she emplo3 to keep her “Soldiers” in good healt as follows: “I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of great value in cases of Kidney and Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted from severe colds. and lasses have been repeatedly posed to cold weather and rain, an have spoken for hours out of doors, often with wet feet and chilled to the marrew. As a consequence of this ex- posure, Pulmonary Trouble, Rheuma- tism and Kidney Disorders often ensue. In such cases I always advise Dodd’ Kidney Pills, for I have noticed bett results, quicker relief and more las ing benefit from the use of Dodd's Ki ney Pills in such cases than from a other medicines I know of combine They cleanse the blood, regulate system and destroy disease.” A medicine which can do what Lieut. Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidn Pills do, is surely worth the attenti of all who suffer with any form of Ki ney Trouble, Rheumatism or Bi Disorders. od ivendivndvenddndddvddl Cold Agony Pain intensified by cold is unbearable.

Social circles of the Deering Pocr Farm were startled recently by the ro inmates of the insti- tution, Mary Furillo and Harry Reck- wood, says the Portland Daily Press. Miss Furillo has seen some thirty-six summers, while Mr. Rockwood’s know1- edge of the world covers a period cf half that time. either of the young persons are very strong mental- ly, but when they met it was a cas2 of love at first sight, and as the rules the institution which sheltered then id not permit marr. A Wayside Honeymoon from of in marriage, they decided to leave its | root together. Joining hands they took | their departure unbeknown to the sup- | erintendent and ses | the other inmates. Nothing was heard cf the departed cou- | ple until about five days after their dis- | appearance. Then word came from the authorities in Boston that they were in that city and expressed a desire to see Portland once more. The authori- ties directed that they be returned and the Boston people were glad to c2m- ply. Miss Furillo and Rockwood had walked from Portland to Boston, mak- ing the trip in five days. They slept wherever night found them-and begged their meals from the good-natured country people living along the route they were traveling. By the time they hed the Hub, however, some of their romantic notions had been dis- pelled, and they were ready to return to the more prosaic, and less adventur- ous poor farm life. Upon the return of the erring wanderers it was deemed best by the poor authorities that they be maintained at separate institutions. Accordingly the Furillo woman was sent out to Deering and Rockwood tc the Portland street home. Little Wonders of the Sea. sea is full of wonders of pro- tective coloring and form, and there is one real chameleon in it—namely, the chameleon-shrimp. This, like its land counterpart, changes color from min- ute to minute—now green out in the sunlight, now yellow on the sand, and again dark brown under the dark shadows of some projecting rock. There is another quaint little fish which haunts the weed-tracts of the gulf stream, and there builds its nest and lays its eggs like a bird rather than a fish. This animal—the anten- narius—is not very easy to see owing to its similarity to its surroundings, It imitates in color the weed it lives in, and, like the chameleon, constantly changes its color. Wink 50,000 Times » Day. Scientists in Germany have lately computed that in our waking hours by winking once a second on an average, man performs the involuntary function no less than 50,000 times in a day, or in a year something like 19,000,000 times. Measuring the distance that both eyelids travel as a quarter of an ng and giving| inch, it is seen that the total distance traveled in a lifetime of fifty years is no less than 7,200 miles, or one-third way around the globe.

The day was when men of promi- nence hesitated to give their testimoni- als to proprietary medicines for publi- cation. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Pe- runa has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Perua. The highest men in our nation-have given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and sta- tions are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this state- ment the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rey. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres- Ga., byterian church of Greensboro, writes: “Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth. My little boy seven years of age had been suffering forsome time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two Yottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific. As a tonic for weak and worn out people it has few or Ro equals.’’—Rey. E. G. Smith. . M. J. Rossman,a prominent mer- chant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna,and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follow: “For a long time I was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and _ tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoying better health than I have for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly af- flicted. It is certainly a grand medi- cine.’—M. J. Rossman.

For a great ma: rs doctors pro- nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
