The Kussian batteries have contonted themselves with preventing the Jap-' anese from reoccupying this position and planting guns which would com , mand the Russian warships in the Harbor.

It Is also reported that the Japanese attempt to deceive the Russians lntc touching off their electric ground mines by driving cattle over them in the darkness.

Woman's sphere in this aoth century Is not limited any more than is man's. She ran nocim atmnut anv business DOS it ton or profession, and yet the popular view of fvomanhood is that she best fits the posi-1 tion of wife and mother and head of the : household. Every girl should know her ; heart and also know that her womanly ; system is equal to the strain of marriage. If a girt is nervous and irritable tea chances to one it is due to some trouble peculiar to womanhood. Cupid has no place in a girl's heart if she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged down, worn out for no reason that she can think of. The weak back, diiy spells and black circles about the eyes are only symp toms. Go to the source of the trouble and correct the irregularity. Stop the drains on the womanly system and the other symptoms wifl disappear. This cau be done easily and intelligently. So sure of rit is the World's Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, that they offer $500 reward for women who cannot be cured of Uncorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or fallimr of the womb. All they ask is a fair and rea.s0n.1ble trial of their means of cure.

BOILS PYRAMIDS OF PAIN Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle or boil is the result. To one already enfeebled by disease, boils seem to come with more freauencv. causing the ihtensest pain and greatest ucoiwaiea sunerer. All skin eruptions, trom the sometimes latal car. buncle to the spiteful little cat-boil, are', caused by bad blood, and th only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and build up the deteriorated, polluted blood, and counteract the humors and poisons ; and nothing will do this so quickly and thoroughly as S.
