A prominent building owner, with years of experience, gave the following instruc tions to his architects: "I have had nty experience with kalsonunes and other iroods clain&d to be just as good as Ala bastine. 1 want you to specify Alabastine on all my walls; do not put on anv other manufacturers' dope, if they furnish it for nothing.

Jbknib E Greek, Denmark, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had bfcen sick at my monthly periods for seven years, and tried almost everything I ever heard of, but without any benefit. Was troubled with, backache, headache, pains in the shoulders and dizziness. Through my mother I was induced to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and It has done me so much good. I am now sound and welL" Mrs. Harry Hardt, Riverside, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of her struggle with serious ovarian trou ble, and the benefit she received from the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. This is her letter: " How thankful I am that I took your medicine. I was troubled for two years with inflammation of the womb and ovaries, womb was also very low. I was in constant misery. I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could not walk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with my back, had headache all the time, was nervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had a bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. I was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, but still was no better. I was advised by one of my neighbors to write to you. I have now finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and am better In every way. I am able to do all my own work and can walk nearly a mile without fatigue; something I had not been able to do for over two years. Your medicine has done me pore good than all the doctors. " AN ASTUTE AFRICAN KING. King Menelik II. of Abyssinia It a Highly Intelligent Monarch. The most astute and diplomatic ruler In Africa is King Menelik II., who will play no Insignificant part In England's advance from the head waters of the Nile southward to the cape. In spite of the turbulent nature of his career, Men elik has found the opportunity to study English and Italian, and is a scholar of no mean erudition. In the matter of trade and passage through his country he is Irreconcilably obdurate. His fear of conquest by some foreign power causes an inordinate suspicion of all strangers who may visit him, to whom he is invariably reserved and hostile, until when one has penetrated through the epidermis of tact and diplomacy, it Is to find a remarkably interesting per sonality concealed beneath the rude and uncouth exterior. It Is interesting to listen to Menelik's' public speeches, a diversion from the ordinary cares of court life, which he seems greatly to enjoy, touring con stantly through his kingdom and ha ranguing his subjects in a manner that would do credit to the most astute poli tician on a stumping tour. He is a keen and incisive reasoner. His listeners stand in front of him three or four hours. His chief pride naturally is in his well organized and disciplined army, a large part of which is composed of women. H?r it ! th his m??t?r?'j! gn'i!? as a soldier finds play, and It has been worked almost to a state of absolute perfection in discipline. In the last few years he has Invited German and Rus sian military Instructors to aid him in the work, supplementing his own prac- KINU MENELIK II. tical knowledge with the benefits of their theoretical education. The drill ing of these forces forms part of the royal daily routine, and the traveler to the imperial capital at Gondor may see him on many occasions at the head of his troops parading through the narrow streets for the delectation of his ador ing subjects, for among his people Men elik Is admired with a veneration that almost amounts to deification. Menelik's habits are regular and, un like the majority of Oriental poten tates, he Is neither a gourmand nor an excessive drinker, while his morals are of a character that would not disgrace the highest attainments of our own civilized ethical code. As a ruler he shows none of the bloodthirsty and sav age traits of former Abyssinian mon archs, and the laws which he has de vised for the government of his king dom are models of wisdom and Justice, Menelik does not claim Infallibility; he has the honesty of purpose to discover and correct his own shortcomings, and, ( altogether, sets an example of dignified and advanced rulershlp of which no civ- Ulzed monarch need be ashamed.

An English' paper several years ago etate-d that in the year 1854 there were in London, 1132 runaway wives, 2348 runaway husbands; 4i;5 married people legally di vorced, 17,345 living in open warfare; 13,270 living in private m.Eunderstandlngs; 55,340 living In mutual indifference; while only 3175 were regarded as huppy; 127 nearly happy and 13 perfectly happy. An American philosopher, after study ing the facte and circumstances of the cases, has come to the conclusion that all th.s discord In families Is the offspring of disease In borne form or another, and that In a great majority of cases diseases may be entirely removed and husbands and wives made entirely happy. It t has been done in innumerable instances, and what has been done heretofore, may be repeated.. The following are a few cases where whole families have been made perfectly happy by removal of the diseases which produced discord.
