The Express remarks that it is “an amus- ing sign of the times” to hear at a bridge party a young man recommend a dowager countess of seventy to pull her socks up. Transvaal Climate. One peculiarity of the Transvaal climate is that, while being very healthy, it yet has the effect of mak- ing people appear far older than they really are. The rarified air is popu- larly supposed to be responsible for PAINS AMERICAN WOMEN FIND RELIEF The Case of Miss Irene Crosby Is One of Thousands of Cures made by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that itis not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. (Miss Irene Crosby) ‘Thousands of American women, hows ever, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs these periods of their terrors. Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes: “Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound isa inne Een to woman. It has boon pee eat benefit to me, curing me o! eid painful periods when Srorything else bad failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women.” Women who are troubled with pain- ful or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacement of organs, inflammation or ulceration, that ‘‘bearing-down” feeling, dizzi- ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the seri- ous consequences, and be restored to erfect health and strength by taking ydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- and, and then write to Mrs. Pink- am, Lynn, Mass., for further free ad- vice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising women free of charge. Thousands have been cured by so doing. A Misanthropic Opinion. “Aren’t you ambitious to achieve fame?” “Not at all,” replied Mr. Cumrox. “Fame is merely an invitation to the entire public to gossip about you.” Important to Mothers.

Protection From the Nation’s “Degra- dation” Are Asked in Sweden. Stockholm recently had a week of prayer with a political tinge. <A series o fmeetings was arranged in the differ- ent churches by the clergy of Stock- holm for the purpose of considering the misdeeds and sins for which pen- ance should be done, and from which the people should be converted in or- der to arise from the disorder and helplessness so strikingly shown in the events of 1905. At the meeting held by the Gustaf Frederick congregation, Pastor Guss- lander declared that the people of Sweden should pray to be protetced from the degradation and indifference ‘| into which the nation had sunk, and for which war seemed to be a neces- sary bloodletting. The remarks made a deep impression on the congregation and after several members had spoken in the same vein the congregation on bended kee united in prayer and sang a psalm of penance. Gothenburg’s Handelstiding declares that these meetings create a bad im- pression, as it appears that the sole ground for the great sorrow is that Sweden did not go to war with Nor- way last summer. Therein lies the so- called degradation. That no war re- sulted was not due to brotherly love and wisdom, but from weakness and indifference due to sins. The warlike priests seem to consider that war would have been a holy cause to which the people had been untrue. The pa- per is not willing to accept such a doctrine and insists that if the devel- opments in Sweden were due to un- righteousness the country could wish for more of the same kind. NORWAY’S GREATEST JURIST. Johannes Bergh Called by Death at the Age of 69 Years. Johannes Bergh, LL D., Norway’s greatest lawyer, died early this month after a long illness at the age of sixty- nine years. He was a man of the most positive character, but warm-hearted and amiable, distinguished in appear- ance and a splendid speaker. Although offered many flattering positions with the university and with the govern- ment, he preferred .to practice law. Nevertheless he did not neglect the theory of law, and contributed many valuable papers, which gave him fame abroad as well as at home. He was particularly prominent in the impeachment of Premier Selmer, in which he. discharged the somewhat thankless task of defending the min- istry, which he did in the most bril- liant manner. This was in 1883-4, and the signal ability he showed in these proceedings stamped him as the leader of the Norwegian bar. Johannes Bergh was born at Aasnes in Soloer, Feb. 18, 1837. He prepared for law and was admitted to practice before the supreme court in 1862. Dur- ing his entire career as a jurist he had been closely associated with various legal publications. In 1894 he was decorated with the order of St. Olaf for his scientific contributions. He re- tired from active practice about a year ago. . COMING TO AMERICA. Another Swedish Male Chorus Will Visit the United States. Another Swedish male chorus ‘s coming to America. The Stockholm Y. M. C. A., which maintains a famous chorus, has made arrangements to send its singers on a tour of the Unit- ed States. Director H -Linquist has picked thirty-six singers for the tour. Active rehearsals will begin right after Easter, and after making a fortnight’s tour of the larger cities of Sweden, the singers will sail for America on June 6. They will spend about six weeks in the United States, being the guests of the Y. M. C. A. Minneapolis is includ- ed in the itinerary. Russian Refugees in Sweden. A large number of Russian fugitives were recently taken in charge by the authorities of Brannkyrka, near Stock- holm. Most of them were from Riga, but quite a number were from Lithu- ania and Courland. They admitted that they were without means, but said that they had received aid from their better situated countrymen and would gladly work if they could secure em- ployment. Most of them declared that they were under sentence of death for having participated in the socialistic uprisings. Just before the hearing closed, Hinke Bergegren arrived from | Stockholm and reported that the ex- iles were under his care for the pres- ent. Norway Exporting Potatoes. During the last two or three years Norway has imported quite a lot of po- This year, however, the thing is reversed, and Norwegian potatoes |leave the country every week, mostly for Belgium, the very country which, | beside Holland, has exported this use- ‘ful article in former years to Norway. The strange part of it is that potatoes were cheaper here in former years when they were imported from abroad, than this year when there is more of the vegetable than the country itself needs. Tid-Bits of News for Scandinavians. TO BE REMODELED FOR KING. Old “Haakonshallen” Again to Wel- come Royalty. “Haakonshallen,” or Haakon’s hall, at Bergen, is one of the most ancient buildings in Norway, having. been erected by King Haakon Haakonsson about 1260. It has been neglected for some time, but with the advent of a royal family in Norway the people of Bergen awoke to the necessity of pro- viding suitable habitation for royalty, when they should visit the old city, once the metropolis of Norway. With Premier Michelsen in the lead, the wealthy men raised upwards of 100,000 kroner, and the old buildings will be completely restored and furnished in a manner befitting their rank as a royal abode. Haakonshallen was never a. royal residence itself, and is not to be one in the future. It-is nothing more than a big hall, which will be used for vari- ous festivals and social functions. When the king and queen visit Bergen they will take possession of the com- mander’s house, which is the building in the center of the group. Haakons- hallen is at the left and the Walken- dorf tower at the right. Dr. Georg Brandes’ Visit. Dr. Brandes, the well known Dan- ish author, has been at Christiania delivering a series of lectures on Vol- taire, Frederick the Great and Henrik Ibsen. To the people of Norway his lecture on Ibsen was of particular in- terest, inasmuch as Dr, Brandes is an old friend of Dr. Ibsen, whose works he has made a lifelong study, and therefore, despite all that has been written and said of the great drama- tist and his work, Dr. Brandes’ lec- ture on the subject was highly enjoy- able and contained much that proved his close personal acquaintance with and observations of Ibsen. Big Mining Enterprise. The large copper deposits in Prugel valley in Mo, Norway, are to be devel- oped this year by the Smith Nordland Mining company. The'latter will ap- propriate 2,000,000 kroner for develop- ment and work in the valley, ane ex- pects to have a force of about 1,000 men at work. Should all the mining enterprises planned for northern Nor- way be carried out, this section of the country will soon become a vast indus- trial field. To Develop Greenland. A Danish syndicate has applied to the minister of the interior for a twenty-five years’ concession for pur- suing various enterprises on Green- land, including fishing, whaling, breed- ing sheep, foxes and eider ducks. In return the syndicate will develop the natural resources of Greenland, make it a productive land, give employment to many people, and thus assist in civ- ilizing the natives. Swedish Exposition in London. King Oscar has appointed Arthur Thiel, John Hammer and Gustaf Wick- man as a commission to visit London to investigate the advisability of hold- ing a Swedish industrial exhibition in that city during the summer of 1907. The idea was proposed by a number of prominent Swedes in London, who urge it on the ground that such an exposition will tend to re-establish Sweden’s prestige in England. The Diplomatic Corps. Some of the foreign diplomatic rep- resentatives at Ghristiania are still living at hotels, but the greater num- ber of them have either rented or pur- chased residences. The British gov- ernment has bought a beautiful place from one of the old Christiania fami- lies for the sum of $90,000. Besides a fine house, there is quite a piece of ground with large gardens. From the house a fine view of the bay may be enjoyed. Women Taking Christiania. There are 25,000 more women than men in Christiania. The exact num- ber according to the Christiania year- book for 1905 is 99,000 males and 123,- 800 females. Of the surplus females 10,827 are between the ages of 15 and 30 years, that is to say, of a marriage- able age, but will look in vain for hus- bands if they remain in Christiania. Gorki in Sweden. Maxim Gorki, the Russian novelist, accompanied by five Russian exiles, arrived recently in Stockholm from Finland. The party did not remain long in the Swedish capital, but pro- ceeded to Malmo, thence to Germany by way of Copenhagen. The party did not appear to be on. a pleasure trip and seemed to be fugitives. Soldiering in Winter. The winter maneuvers of the Nor- wegian army near Drobak last month are reported to have been particularly successful. The troops took to camp life in hte snow like’ veterans and suf- fered no inconveniences. All branches of the service were subjected to all manner of tests and everything was reported eminently satisfactory. Mem- bers of the free rifle companies of Drobak, Frogn and Aas laid off from their work to join in the movements and were gladly accepted. ‘+, -| Who had just opened a millinery estab- cradle. , Nothing New. | : “How do you do?” said Miss Gaddie, lishment. “Did you know I was inter- ested in business just now?” “Why, yes,” replied Miss Knox, “I supposed you were, as usual, but I didn’t know whose.” “Patching and darning, as usual, are you?” said the caller. “Yes,” answered Mrs. Lapsling. “I tell Samuel I save him a good deal of money by being so mendacious.” Longest Bridge in the World. The longest bridge in the world is that crossing the Danube at Czerna- voda, with a length of 12,705 feet; fol- lowed next by the Galveston bay bridge, in Texas, with 11,197 feet. The Firth of Forth bridge, near Queen- spring, in Scotland, ranks eighth, and the Brookly bridge ninth. Liked Plain Language. Grigsby—There is not a vestige of truth in your assertion. Snigsby (furious)—Do you mean to say I am telling lies? Grigsby—I do. ’ Snigsby (walking off)—Then why don’t you say so like a man? I hate fellows that beat about the bush. A SURE FOR DEBILITY Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Ailing and Bloodless. ‘When the body is weak and the blood | thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has pre- ceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something un- healthful in one’s surroundings or work, ; may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and ay enfecblement of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. Mr. ©. E. Legg, of Tipton, W. Va., has found a successful method of treat- ing weakness and bloodlessness. He says: “T used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indiges- tion and a bad state of my blood. Iwas anemic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that I didn’t have blood enough, or that I didn’t have the right kind of blood ; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. I was badly annoyed by sour risings | from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under,| my right shoulder blade.’’ “« How long did these troubles last?” | “For over two years. For four | months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his mediciue did meno good. Meanwhile I learned of | the cures that*had been wrought by Dr. | Williams’ Pink Pills.”” “You owe your cure to these pills?” | “T certainly do, and I also know that ; they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. They have real merit and I know of nothing that would take their place.”’ For farther information and valuable booklet address the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co., Schenectady, N. gS RR AROS To SA | The Wrong Inference.

Vice President Fairbanks, when in the senate, always wears a jong Prince Albert, dark gray trousers and a plain black silk tie.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is a powerful, invigorating tonic, impart- ing health and strength, in pa to the organs dist ly. fe ie. The local, womanly. health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains health and strength. For weak and sickl ‘women who are ‘‘worn-out,” “run-down”? or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or. sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has proven a_ priceless benefit because of its health-restoring and strength-giving powers. .As a soothing and strengthening ner- vine, “Favorite Prescription? is un- equaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, jrritabil- ity, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostra- tion, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus’s dauce, and other distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refresh- ing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. “Favorite Pre- scription” is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of “‘fe- ; male weakness,” painful periods, irregu- larities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, bearing-down sensa- tions, chronic congestion, inflammation | and ulceration. \ Dr. Pierce’s medicines are made from harmless but efficient medical roots found growing in our American forests. | ‘The Indians knew of the marvelous cura- tive value of some of these roots and im- parted that knowledge to some of the friendlier whites, and gradually some of | the more progressi physicians came to | test and use them, and ever since they have grown in favor by reason of their superior curative virtues and their safe | | and harmless qualities. Your druggists sell the “Favorite Pre- SCRIPTION” and also that famous altera- tive, blood purifier and stomach tonic, the “GoLDEN Mepica Discovery.” Write to Dr. Pierce about your case, He is an | experienced physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspondence. Address him at the | Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institut Buffalo, N. Y., of which he is chief con- sulting physician. A Gentle Reprimand. “It’s much easier to talk than to lis- } ten, isn’t it?” grinned the man who had | monopolized the conversation for two | hours. “TI don’t know,” replied the girl, archly; “it’s a long time since I’ve had the chance to find out.” Melba’s Memory. Mme. Melba possesses such a reten- tive memory that she can learn an en- | tire opera in a week. She does much of her studying in bed, where she is far from noise, but the airs are chiefly mastered while she is walking or driv- | ing. TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR. | Badly Affected With Sores and Crusts ; —Extended Down Behind the Ears —Another Cure by Cuticura. “About ten years ago my scalp be- came badly affected with sore and itching humors, crusts, ete., and ex- tended down behind the ears.
