A prominent club woman, Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she was cured of falling of the womb and its accompanying pains and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. * Dear Mrs. PrnsHamM:—Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strengths fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had set ; but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound came to meas an elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health retarned to me. For four months I took the medicine daily, and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for thehelp I obtainedthrough its use.”— Mns.

THE GOLD FIELD REX MINING COMPANY, ler, Sec'y, 506 Mack N. W. N. U. —NO. 48— 1904. nsford F. But- , Denver, Colo. A WOMAN’S HAND. Danish Princess Has Been Ruler in Russia Through Two Reigns. Everybody in Denmark knows, and most people in other countries suspect, that the real autocrat of all Russia is not the noble-hearted but weak czar, Nicholas IL, but his imperial mother, the dowager empress, Maria Feodo- rowna, born Princess Thyra of Den- mark, says Countess Sophia Revent- lou. Even when the late Czar Alexander Ill. was still living, Maria Feodorowna, while apparently giving in to the wishes of her husband, who was nar- row-minded and despotic, and con- vinced of his diviine authority, was all-powerful, and by skillful manipu- lating made her husband carry out her policy. Alexander III. never signed any document of importance or issued any ukase without first consulting his wife, who is no less of a diplomat than her mother, the late Queen Louise of Denmark. When fear of nihilists and an incurable disease broke down the health and nearly shattered the mind of the late czar in spite of his giant strength, this frail and insignificant- looking woman became even more than his adviser and cheerfully took up the burden which was too heavy for his shoulders. After the catastrophe at Borki, where the whole imperial family es- caped death in a most miraculous man- ner, Alexander became a _ nervous wreck, trembling with fear at every unexpected noise, and often a victim of hallucinations, during which he saw himself surrounded by assassins ev- erywhere. There was not in the whole immense winter palace, guarded by hundreds of secret police, one man or woman whom he dared trust except his wife. He feared death even from the hands of his own brothers; he never slept two nights in succession in the same room, and at last positively refused to eat anything prepared in the imperial kitchen. Brought up by her mother like any girl of sensible middle class in Denmark, Empress Maria Feodorowna was long before her marriage an adept at cooking, and during the last years of her husband’s life he never tasted anything which had not been prepared by her own hands. He never allowed her to leave him, even for an hour; she sat at his side at state councils, learned every detail of the immense business of gov- erning the empire, and in all matters of importance threw the decisive vote. The power which she exerted during the life of her husband Maria Feodo- rowna has never let slip through her hands. NORTH COUNTRY BADLY SHAKEN. Norway, Sweden and Denmark Have a Quake. It will be a long time before Sunday, Oct. 23, is forgotten in Scandinavia. It was then that the countries received the strongest shaking they have re- ceived since scientific records have been preserved. Most of the people were at church when the shock came, and in every place there was a panic of a more or less serious nature. The earthquake district included all of Denmark and the lower parts of Norway and Sweden as far north as Namsos and Sundsvall. The heaviest disturbances were felt in northern Jylland and along the eastern shore of Christiania fjord and north into Nor- way above Christiania. The Norwegian capital suffered considerable loss, while Copenhagen and Gothenborg had a lively shake. Stockholm, though in the afflicted district, did not feel the slight shock which was plainly recorded by scien- tific instruments. The tremors of the earth began about 11:30 a. m. and lasted-only fif- teen seconds. An hour or so after- wards there came a gentle quake, and about 9 in the evening still another. These were not generally noticed, how- ever. . The general movement of the earth was from south to north. In the coun- try districts the people could plainly see the earth heave like waves upon the water, and stone fences wiggled up and down like huge snakes. Stone buildings were cracked, chimneys torn down and minor damage done. No lives were lost, but many people were hurt in the panics at the churches. At Vor Frelsers church in Christiania the crush was so great that many were trampled under foot and were considerably bruised and some bones were broken. In most cases the ministers sought to avert a stampede by starting a hymn. In many places the people thought that judgment day had come. Some were terrified out of their wits and were so overcome that they fainted away: Almost every one wanted to fly some where for safety, but there was no place to go, and so they rush- ed about excitedly, even after the tre- mors had ceased. Boycott a Bishop. A remarkable boycott against Bish- op Billing of Scania, Sweden, has been fostered by the school of teachers of Malmo. Prior to the arrival of the bishop on one of his periodical visits for the purpose of catechising the chil- dren, the teachers urged their pupils to remain away. The result was that one-half did so. The teachers are said to have socialistic iaeas and to appose the conservatism of Bishop Billing. Their conduct has caused much dis- cussion in the country and is generally condemned. $ In Far Northland. ART IN SCHOOLS. Sweden Educating Children to Love the Beautiful. Additional attention is being given to art in the schools of Sweden, not only as regards teaching to the chil- dren, but making the school rooms and the hallways artistic in appearance. Fifteen years ago PontusFursten- burg, a wealthy citizen of Gothenburg, commissioned Larson, the painter, to decorate the three landings to the main staircase in the girls’ school in that city. This idea was adopted later by Eva Bonnier, who arranged with Nils Kreuger, Bergh and Normann, the painters and Jerndahl, ‘and Christian Eriksson, the sculptors, to complete various works for the primary com- munal school in Stockholm and other institutions. These individual efforts have been succeeded by the work of the Swedish Society for Art in the School. In five years the Swedish society has purchased two large frescoes, one for 4,000 kroner, the other for 2,250, and two large canvases, one for 3,000 and the other for 2,000 kroner, tae four paintings being respectively the work of Larson, Pauli and Liljefors. . One of the most striking is the “Choeur” of Larson, a fresco executed by the artist in 1901 and representing a choir of students assembled for a religious ceremony in a plain near Stockholm. The work is thoroughly impressive and covers a space of twenty-four feet wide on one of the walls of the Latin school of Stockholm. On the same wall is to be found—equal in size with the Larson painting—a landscape by Prince Eugene, an artist son of King Oscar Il., which was painted for the school. In the same school there is a painting of equal dimensions as the above two by Bruno Liljefors, which was presented to the school by Prince Eugene, while in the same building there is still another large painting by Prince Eugene which is to be placed in the assembly room. Many other school buildings have paintings equally nota- ple, particularly the large fresco by Larsson, which is to be found in a school at Gothenburg. There is another side to the society’s work which should be mentioned, and that is the efforts of the society to make of the class room an artistic en- semble. The society accounts for the past three years have each ‘contained an appropriation of from 500 to 600 kroner “for the arrangement of the class room.” This arrangement is en- trusted to an architect and the results so far have been excellent. The idea is to make the room an artistic whole, where there shall be harmony of col- ors, furniture, in fact of everything in the room. The society is also extend- ing its work to the inspection of future plans for school buildings, so that from the building of the school the ar- tistic idea may be carefully fostered. The work of the society is enthusias- tically supported by all the prominent educators of Sweden, who see in it great promise for the artistic future of the kingdom in the far North. BJORNSON ANGRY. Denies Charges of Currying Favor With Swedes. Bjornson dedicated his new drama, “Daglannet,” to the Swedish academy, and a writer in Dagbladet of Chris tianaia openly charges that the dedi- cation is an expression of gratitude for receiving the Nobel prize last year, which was only awarded to him after he had changed his position with re- gard to the politics of the Swedish- Norwegian union and had deserted the cause of the National party of Nor- way. Naturally Bjornson is angry and his reply is vigorous and characteristic. He naively remarks that of all those who have worked for the maintenance of Norway’s sovereignty none has dared more or sacrificed more than himself, and demanded less reward, as Bjornson has steadfastly refused all political offices, all honors and decora- tions, and lives entirely by the fruits of his literary labors, his denial of the charges is convincing. Bjornson frankly admits that the Nobel prize was of great benefit to himself, as he is now in position to prosecute his literary work in peace. It came after he had attacked the an’ Swedish sentiment among certain poli- ticians, but on the authority of a prominent Swede the award was made long before his attack was made. Stockholm’s Waterworks. Stockholm has a new waterworks. It was formally opened a fortnight ago by King Osear, surrounded by the royal family and the dignitaries of Stockholm. Then there were speech-s and other exercises, after which the official party visited Born lake, which furnishes the water to the city. The new works cost’ the city 8,000,000 kroner.

Fashlon Has Selected a Perfume for Each Modish Breed. Nowadays the pet dog must be per- fumed, but it is not enough to sceut him with any old perfume. Modish ‘women who consider their pets try to select an appropriate odor for them. Thus, Japanese poodles are per- fumed with frangipani, which has a spicy Japanese odor that suggests the Oriental nativity of the animal. Mexican hairless dogs, which are enjoying quite a vogue just now, are Scented with chypore, which has a heavy, tropical odor which suits these dogs of the South. Very little of it is used, as the scent is powerful. Two or three drops on the long hair behind the head, where the dog cannot in- "| dulge his tendency to lick it off, is all that is needed. The shaggy Skye terriers are scent- ed with a stimulating cxtract of Scotch heather, sold by one of the Fifth avenue druggists, and redolent of the Scotch flower’s perfume. French poodles, which are not near- ly so popuJar now as they used to be, smell delicately of some Parisian per- fume. Boston terriers have received as their special perfume a scent made by a New York druggist and declared to be the sportiest of all odors.—New York Sun. ENGLISH OF A KIND. Peculiar Specimens Found in Land of Japanese. “The Jap has a mania for putting up English notices, and he floods one's rooms at a hotel with English cards, such English!” remarks a man from Chrysanthemum land. “One day I said to the waiter: “Kishi, the rolls are cold.’ “Yes, he answered, ‘a good deal of not cooling the cakes is good.’ “In the same hotel was displayed a notice which ran: : “‘On the dining time nobody shall be enter to the dining and drawing room without the guests allow.’ “One of the articles in the municipal laws of Kioto reads: ““Any dealer shall ‘be honestly by his trade. Of course the sold one shall prepare to make up the safe package.’ “A Tokio dentist’s circular was handed to me; it read: “‘Our tooth is an important organ for human life and countenance, as you know; therefore, when it is attack by disease or injury, artificial tooth is also very useful. I am engaged in the dentistry and I will make for your pur- Pose.’ ”’—Cassell’s Journal. Good News for All. Bradford, Tenn., Nov. 21.—(Spe- cial.)—Scientific research shows Kid- ney Trouble to be the father of so many diseases that news of a dis- covery of a sure cure for it cannot fail to be welcomed all over the coun- try. And according to Mr. J« A. Davis of this place just such a cure is found in Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Davis says: “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are all that is claimed for them. They have done me more good than anything I have ever taken. I had Kidney Trouble very bad, and after taking a few boxes {of Dodd’s Kid_ey Pills I am com- pletely cured. I cannot praise them too much.” Kidney Complaint develops into Bright's Disease, Dropsy, Diabetes, Rheumatism and other painful and fatal diseases. The safeguard is to cure your kidneys with Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills when they show the first symptom of disease. More Bibulous Every Day. “Your husband seems to be making a large and unique collection of books,” remarked the caller, looking with interest at the costly array of rare volumes on the library shelves. “Yes,” replied Mrs. Gaswell, with well-bred indifference. “I believe he becomes more bibulous every day he lives.”—-Chicago Journal.

GOVERNOR Uses Pe-ru-na For Colds and Excellent The Magnificent State Capitol Building at Salem, Oregon. OF OREGON In His Family Finds It an LEAS PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OF OREGON. ERUNA is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congrat- ___ ulation and commendation testify- ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State of the Union. | Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor,the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Peruna is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es- pecially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh of its victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for | coughs, colds and so forth. The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continually in the house. In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., he says: STATE OF OREGON, Executive DEPARTMENT, The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0. Dear Sirs:—I have had occasion to use your Peruna medicine in my fam- ily for colds, and it proved to be an ex- cellent remedy. I have not had oc- casion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Ex-Gov- ernor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. a Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do— keep Peruna in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide them- selves with a copy of Dr. Hartman’s free book, entitled, ‘‘Chronic Catarrh.” Address Dr. 8S. B. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Colum- bus, Ohio.
