New England Women Have an Abiding Faith in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. After years of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm .d steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth, ~ 4 faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genu- ine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings. Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and all over America, and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound greater than in New England, its home. ORGANIC INFLAMMATION. “DeaR Mrs. Pryxuam:—I was troubled very badly with inflamma- tion of the bladder, was sick in bed with it. I had two doctors, but they did me no good. A friend gave me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, and it helped me. Ihave now taken three bottles of it, and I am entirely cured. It is a God-send to any woman, and I would recommend it toany one suffering as I was. I think, if most of the women would take more of your medicine instead of going to the doctors, they would be tter off. The Compound has also cured my husband of kidney trouble.” Mrs. MABEL GooKIN, Box 160. Mechanic Falls, Maine. NERVOUS PROSTRATION. “For two years I suffered from nervous prostration, the result of female weakness. I had leucorrhoea very badly, and at time of menstrua- tion would be obliged to go to bed. Also suffered with headaches, pain across back, and in lower part of abdomen. I was so discouraged. I had read of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Com- und, and concluded to give it a trial. wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received avery nice letter in return. I began at once the use of her Vegetable Com- pound and Blood rurifier, and am now feeling splendid. I haveno more pain at monthly periods, can do my own work, and have gained ten pounds. I would not be without your Vegetable Compound. It isa splendid medicine. Iam very thankful for what ithas done for me.”—Mnrs. J. W.

The suffering I endured pen cannot describe. I was treated by one of our most proiminent physicians here for five months, and found myself getting worse instead of better. At the end of the fifth month he told me he had done all he could for me, and that I had better go to the hospital. “My sister advised me to try your Vegetable Compound, as it eured her of backache. I did so, and tock it faithfully, and am now cured of my trouble, and in perfect health, many thanks to your medicine. I cannot praise it enough, and would recom- mend it to all who suffer from any feraale weakness.” — Mrs. H. 8. BALL, 461 Orchard St., New Haven, Conn.

There is a certain species of cater- pillar that not only litters the outside of its home with twigs and small bits of wood, tut also has the power of taking its thelter with it whenever it decides to :hove. It is a habit peculiar to the beg-worm, or housebuilder moth, a caterpillar found in certain parts of Cuba. The bag-worm first weaves for its use a silken sac. It then collects all kinds of splinters and tiny wood fragments, which are fastened in some way to the outside of the sac. There it makes its home until fully matured, at which period it enters the sac entirely, and is changed to a grub or pupa, Here the female (a grub-like | creature without wings) lays her eggs, remaining inside till death. The male pupa, however, has a better future; for in a short while it works its way cut from the lower end of the sac, and then, by some process similar to that of the butterfly, is changed to a beauti- ful moth, with brightly colored wings, having white stripes across its back. This, of course, ends its career as a bag-worm. It is before it is grown | that the bag-worm lives in its portable | home, and has the habit of moving from place to place. This is done by stretching forth the body, getting a foothold and crawling along with the sac dangling behind. This would seem awkward, and indeed the bag-worm presents a peculiar appearance crawl- ing from limb to limb, and almost pulled off by its load of wood. In this way, though, it is not only sure of a home, but the entrance is so con- structed that the sides can be pulled together, thus affording protection in time of attack. It seems strange, though, that when the bag-worm is alm grown the sac hangs down from the body; when young, is carried in a straight line with it. There caterpil- Jars are naturally a source of much wonder to the natives of Cuba, who are superstitious regarding a worm which litters its house with so much wood, and this in a country where fire for the sake of warmth is not a neces- sity. The old Spanish legend has it that bag-worms are the incarnations of Kindling-wood thieves, who now, after death, must carry on their backs their load of plunder, thus atoning for their thefts until they become moths.—In- dianapolis News. SPOTS AND SPIDER CRABS. A Tank of Little Ones at.an Aquariam Is Popular, An Aquarium tank that many people stop to look at on the gallery tier, salt water side, contains a lot of the little fishes known as spots or lafayettes and a number of small spider crabs; and the afternoon feeding time is when these creatures are all liveliest, says the New York Sun. There are a dozen of the little crabs running around on the bottom with two or three more perched up, maybe, on the summit of one or two rocks that rise above bot- tom. Chopped up clam is fed to the crabs, and one little crab will get a piece half as big as itself and run away with it, followed by a crab that got none. Or a crab standing eating its portion may be approached by two other little crabs at the same moment, these two trying to take away the first ;crab’s prize. It may be that one of them will get a hold of it and pull it apart and get away perhaps with half of it. All this time the spots, swift, lively little fishes, five or six inches long, are playing tag, if their actions mean anything at all. They dart and dash around chasing one another, not to bite or to hector, as fishes often do, but just in sheer, hilarious good spir- its. They have had their regular feed, and they are waiting now for the lit- tle additional feast, a sort of dessert of shrimp, that soon will be put in the tank for them. One of these spots will chase another and catch it, and touch it, as much to say: “Tag; you’re it!” and, dash off in some other direction, in chase of some other fish; or maybe with some other fish in chase of it. Sometimes in their rollicking time one of the spots will dash down to the bottom and make a bite at a piece of clam that one of the little spider crabs is hanging onto. The spot swoops down like a bird on this little crab and scares and startles it into clinging the tighter to its scrap of food. “Not often does the spot carry the food away; it doesn’t really seem to try to. Then it’s up and off after another spot. Anarchis:s Change Thoir Orv. Meetings of the various groups of anarchists were held last week in New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and other places in this vicinity to cele- brate the thirtieth anniversary of the Paris commune. The speakers all talked of the approach of a time when the present order of things wou!d be swept away by dynamite, the sword and the dagger. One of the speakers said: “Our cry will be no more ‘Down with capital.’ It will beWe want cap- ital.’ We need it for the establishment of the social revolution. Our last war is coming and coming very fast. It will not be sectional; it will be univer- sal.""—New York Sun, Rombay Losing in Population. The census of Bombay city, just taken, shows a population of 770,009, or a decrease of over 50,000, as com- pared with the census taken ten years ago.
