Mary Stuart's Watch.
Mary Stuart made a fad of collecting
.imepieces. Among those owned by
tier was a coffin-shaped watch in a case
)f crystal. ' Probably the most remark
ible one In her collection was the one
jequeathed to Mary Seaton, her maid
)f honor. It was in the form of a
ikull. On the forehead of the skull
(pas the Symbol of death, the scythe
tnd the hour glass. At the back of
the skull was time, and at the1 top of
ihe head the garden of Eden and the
sruciflxion. The watoh was opened by
reversing the skull. Inside was a rep
resentation of the Holy Family, sur
lounded by angels, while the shepherds
nd their ftooks were worshipping the
new-born Christ. The works formed
ihe brains, while the dial-plate was the
palate. She also possessed another
ikull-shaped watch, but it is not known
what became of it.
Settling the Bridegroom.
It takes a bright woman to rebuke
mother woman's rudeness, a general
itatement borne out by the following
story: , A lady entered a railway train
nd took a seat in front of a newlv
married couple. . She . was scarcely
seated before they began to pass re
marks about her. Her last year's bon
net and cloak were fully oriticised, with
more or less giggling on the bride's
part and there is no telling what might
have ooine next if the lady had not put
i sudden stop to the conversation by a
. bit of strategy. She turned her head,
notioed that the bride was considerably
lder than the groom, and in the
smoothest of tones said:
"Madam, will you please ask your
ion to olose the window behind you?"
The "son" olosed his mouth and the
bride no longer giggled.
Dewey's Expenses.
Admiral Dewey's expenditures in
powder and shell to sink the Spanish
fleet at Manila, according, to his own
Dfficial report, was about $45,000. The
30st for the same item in disposing of
Admiral Ceivera's fleet off Santiago is
' between 190,000 and $100,000. Ex
perts regard the figures in both cases as
lurprisingly low. '

STRONG STATEMENTS.
Three Women Relieved of Female
Troubles by Mrs. Plnkham.
From Mrs A. W. Smith, 59 Summer
Bt., Biddeford, Me.i
" For several years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex.
Was troubled with a burning sensation
across the small of my back, that all'
gone feeling, was despondent, fretful
and discouraged; the least exertion
tired me. I tried several doctors but
received little benefit. At last I de
cided to. give your Lydls E. Pinkham'g
Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef
fect of the first bottle was magical.
Those syuirttoma of weakness that I
was afflicted with, vanished like vapor
before the sun. I cannot speak too
hitrhly of your valuable remedy. It la
truly a boon to woman."
From Mrs. Melissa Phillips, Les-
Ington, Ind., to Mrs. Pinkham:
"Before I began taking your medicine
I had suffered for two years with that
tired feeling, headache, backache, no ap
petite, and a run-down condition of the
system. I could not walk across tne
room, I have taken four bottles of the
Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver
Pills and used one package of banntlve
Wash, and now feel like a new woman,
and am able to do my work."
From Mrs. Mollis E. LTehbel, Pow
ell Station. Tenn.:
" For three years I su ffered with such ft
weakness of the back. I could not
perform my household duties. I also
had falling of the womb, terrible bear
ing-down pains and headache. I have
taken two bottles of Lydia K. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and feel
like a new woman. I recommend your
medicine to every woman I know.

The question to what extent the

affect the deoay (caries) of teeth has of
late been studied in several quarters.
Statistics have been oolleoted by Rese
in several localities in Bavaria and bv

extent of decaying teeth bears a definite
relation to the hardness of the water;
in other words, to the quantity of cal
cium and magnesium salts in the earth
through which the water paBses. The
harder the water the better the teeth;
the smaller the quantity of these salts
the greater the decay of the teeth.

Women and the Wheel.
From the Gazette, Dtlaware, Ohio.
The healthfulness of bicycle riding
for women is still a disputed question
between eminent physicians and health
reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates
for women a means of out-door exer
cise, the benefit of which all physicians
concede. Used to " excess, like any
other pastime, its effect is likely to be
dangerous. ' .......
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed,
the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. J. Ri
Reed, 885 Lake street, Delaware, ' O.,
may point a moral for parents who,
like Mr, and Mrs. Reed, have experi
enced some concern for their daughters
who are fond of wheeling. In the fall
of '96 Miss Bertha, who bad ridden a
great deal, began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was
going into consumption. Rest and
quiet did her absolutely no good. A
.physician found her pulse at 104 -a
very high rate. Thinking this may
She Ridet Well
have been due to temporary nervous
ness when he examined her.he watched
her closely, but her pulse continued at
that rate for two weeks. He was satis
fied then, from her high pulse and
steadily wasting condition that she was
suffering from anaemia or a bloodless
condition of the body. 9La became
extremely weak, and could not stand
the least noise or excitement. In this
condition of affairs tjy were reooom
mended by an old friend
to get some of that famous
blood medicine, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They did
so, and almost from the first dose Ber
tha began to improve. She continued
to take the pills and was by means of
those pills made entirely well, and
more grateful people than her parents
cannot.be found in the whole stute of
Ohio.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
proved a boon to womankind. Acting
direotly on the blood and nerves, they
restore the requisite vitality to all
parts of the body; creating functional
regularity and perfect harmony
throughout the nervous system. The
pallor of the cheeks is changed to tho
delicate blush of health; the eyes
brighten; the muscles grow elastic,
ambition 1b created and good health re
turns. The skin of the reindeer is bo imper
vious to the cold that anyone olothed
in such a dress, with the addition of a
blanket of the same material may bear
the intensest rigors of an Arcthwinter's
