CONSULTING A WOMAN. Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope. Examination by a male physician is a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She puts it off as long as she dare, and is only driven to it by fear of caD cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill. Most frequently such a woman leaves a physician s office where she has un dergone a critical examination, with animpression,more or less, of discour agement. This condi tion of the minddestroys the effect of advice; and she grows i worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pink ham no hesitation need be felt, the story is told to a woman and is wholly confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women her advice without charge. Her intimate knowledge of women's troubles makes her letter of advice a wellsprlngof hope, and her wide experi ence and skill point the way to health. " I Buffered with ovarian trouble for ceven years, and no doctor knew what was the matter with me. I had Kpells Which wouldlast for two days or more. I thought I would try Lydia E.

St. Jacobs Oil Si AWHEEL fN SIBERIA. Ihe Village Boys Had ver Eefore r reen a IJicjr--. During a bicycle Journey through Si beria one summer I had occasion to travel several hundred miles along what is called the Great Siberian High way. You will see by glancing at the map that this road connects the Sibe rian capital. Irkutsk, with European Russia. The distance Is soine three thousand miles, and along Its course have been built nearly all the towns and villages of old Siberia. Through these towns and villages I made my dally runs, and usually with n clamoring multitude of shouting boys and yelping dogs as my escort; for' a bicycle was as yet a novelty In that part of the world, and In some of the more remote districts even a thing un known. I remember, on entering a certain village just at dusk, when the streets were quite deserted, I came suddenly upon two village boys walk lug in the street. They did not see me until I flashed abruptly past them. They threw up their hands In bewilder ment and shrieked out, "Chort eedlott!" (The devil's coming!) and lied In terror to their homes. 1 rode on to the regu lar post station, ordered a frugal sup per and prepared to pass the night In the "travelers' room." In the meantime, the news of the "devil's" arrival had spread like wild fire through the village, and the post yard was soon swnrmin wth v"'"" boys, pestering the station master to et tiiem have a peep at the marvelous 'devil's carriage." With the "devil's" permission, the carriage was finally taueii out to exhibit to the wondering owd. hen I had finished my meal stole out unnoticed to observe tho group of eager urchins gathered round the object of their curiosity. One of tnelr number, more presumptuous than me rest, nail taken hold of the wheel, nd was endeavoring to erilicrhten his young congregation on bicycle phllos.- opiiy in general, and this wheel in par ticular. I he hand e bars, lie knpw ere to catch hold of. and the seat was to sit on, but he did not exactly know how It was propelled. An Inquisitive chan raised the nups- tiou of balancing how the blevele could stand up without being held. This question was Immediately seconded by tne rest or the assembly, and put the self-elected teacher on his mettle. He aserted at once that that feat was easy enough to perform; but the more he tried to show them how, the more be ealized Its difficulty, until finally the bicycle cot tangled un with his lees. and both went sprawling on the ground. This was the signal for a shout of deri sive laughter from the crowd; but the little fellow was not to be defeated so Iguoinlulotisly. He picked himself un. rubbed his head for a moment and med itated. Finally a happy thought struck him. "Oh. I know how it Is!" he ex claimed, as he picked up the bicycle. iou see, when It falls over this way he puts down the prop" (pointing to the right nedal). "and when It f al s that way he puts down the other." Then the seir-appointeu lecturer upon bicycles looked proudly around for approval. ' u hy. of course." they all murmur ed, and In a tone of self-reproof that they had not thought of It before. And so the little village wiseacre at once maintained his reputation aud lm Dressed unon his associates how stuDld they were not to have solved the prob lem for themselves. Jst. JNicholas. Polsonons Garden Plants. , Flowers of the Jonquil, white hya cinth and snowdrop all possess a poi sonous nature, the narcissus being also particularly deadly, so much so, Indeed, that to chew a small scrap of one of the bulbs may result fatally, while the Juice of the leaves Is an emetic.

A Wnr-Tlmo Hiding PlaO". J. II. Gore writes an article for St. Nicholas describing some peculiar "Hiding Places In War Times." Those he tells about wore all In one house In Virginia, near a town which changed hands, under Are, eighty-two times dur ing the war. Mr. Gore says: With fall came the "fattening time" for the hogs. They were then brought In from the distant fields, where they had passed the summer, and put In A pen by the Bide of the road. And although within ten feet of the soldiers as they march ed hv. thev were never seen, for the pen was completely covered by the winter's wood-pile, except at the back, .,oro there was n board fence through whose cracks the corn was thrown In. Whenever tne passing aa .n imnrd told us that an army was approaching, the hogs were hurriedly fed, so that the army might go by while they were taklm? their after-dinner nnp aud thus not reveal their presence by nn escaped grunt or squeal. Fortunate ly, tne house was situated In a narrow valley, where the opportunities for bushwhacking were so great that the soldiers did not tarry long enough to search unsuspected wood-plies. On one occasion we thought the hogs were doomed. A wagon broke down near the house, and the soldier went to the wood-pile for a pole to be used in mend ing the break. Luckily, he found a stick to bis liking without tearing the pile to pieces. This suggested that some nice straight pieces be always left conveni ently near for such an emergency, In case It should occur agaiu. OFFICER WORSTED FOR ONCE. rol-ceman. Failed to A r re it Two lJriinkeu Men nnd a ISljr Doc Ever since he Joined the force Police man Andy Murray has made a special ty of the arrest of "drunks," a line of duty for which bo seems to be peculiar ly fitted, and In the exercise of which he takes great delight. It was because of his reputation for always lauding his man at the nearest patrol box unassist ed that he undertook to arrest two In toxicated Individuals single-handed on .Monday night, aud thereby came to grief. Andy was standing at 22d aud Diamond streets shortly after dark when he saw an oddly assorted pair leaning up against the gate of the Odd Fellows' cemetery, both evidently un der the Influence of liquor. One was a man attired In full dress, wearing a high silk hat, who was holding a big Newfoundland dog by a chain. The other was a bicyclist, who was appar ently too far gone to ride, but who still held on to his wheel. Patrolman Murray grabbed each by the shoulder and started for the patrol box, but the prisoners wanted to argue. The trio came to a halt; the dog ran around them a couple of times, winding up the chain, and then suddenly, espy ing a cat, made a wild dash for the oth er side of the street. The unsteady prisoners fell over like tenpins, drag ging their captor with them. In his fall Murray jammed one foot through the spokes of the bicycle's front wheel and, unable to extricate himself, he lay at the bottom of the heap until a broth er officer came to bis assistance. He now acknowledges that he bit off more than he could "chew." Philadelphia Record. Siberian and Russian. Thomas G. Allen, Jr., writes an arti cle on "The Boys of Siberia" for St. Nicholas. Mr. Allen says: To begin with, the Siberian boy Is not a Russian. I Insist upon that distinc tion, because I know he would be sure to make it if he were here to speak for himself. "No, sir; I am not a Russian," one has often said to me, In polite cor rection; "I'm a Siberian." And he speaks In a way that leaves no room to doubt the sincerity of his pride. The reader may, perhaps, think this a dis tinction without a difference; but, from my personal observation, I should say that there is Justification of Intermix ture of native blood with the Siberian- Russian. Generally speaking, the Si berian boy, as compared with the boy of European Russia, la by far the qulcker-wltted, more energetic, and more self-respecting. He has many more of the qualities that In the hour of his country's need go to make up the hero or patriotic soldier. They say It takes a smart man to make a rascal. Whether this be true or not, certain It Is that the class of men who have been sent as exiles to Siberia, especially the political prisoners, have generally been taken from the more In tellectual classes of European Russia. The descendants of these exiles, on the other hand, being born and raised In Siberia, away from the harmful Influ ences of a crowded population, have In herited natural Intelligence without the Incentives to misuse it. Furthermore, they know nothing about the disgrace of exile, and regard Siberia only with genuine pride as the land of their na tivity. An Innocent Civilian. The Chinese peasant wears a turban. loose coat and short and very baggy trousers, all ot uiue. ine uniuese sol dier wears the same, with an overall sleeveless smock, or long waistcoat, buttoning on the rignt shoulder, edged down the neck, arms and skirt and down the front with broad "facings The breast and back are decorated with a one-foot bulls-eye with characters on It. This Is all the character the Chinese soldier possesses. The bull's eve would be a very convenient mark for any enemy If the soldier would give him a chance or shooting nun, out the lmll's-eve Is only worn to raise false hopes, for no sooner does ho arrive dangerously near the enemy than he doffs the enrb of war to disappear as an Innocent civilian. He Is usually armed with a muzzle-loader or stand nrd. both cnually harmless weapons Irf the case of Gen. Liu's escort the uniform smocks hnd evidently not been used as nightshirts for more than a few weeks, the men were armed with Win chesters and a few Martinis, rusty, dir ty and out of order, and wore about their middles a belt of somo sixty rounds of solid-drawn brass cartridges It la surprising how many men havo slouchy, careless business methods. The writer of this Is one of them; the reader Is probably anotht Under Two Flag;. He was a soldier of fortune and a ptisoner of war. "Come," they said, "sign the pa rolel" But he only shook his head. "Never!" he said, proudly, "but I've no objections to signing "the pay roll." No, he wasn't in the war business for sanitary reasons. N. Y. Journal. A Double Crop of Apples.
