" I had suffered for three years with
terrible pains at the time of menstrua

was until the doctor pronounced it in
flammation of the ovaries, and
proposed an operation.
" I felt so weak and sick that I felt
sure that I could not survive the ordeal,
and so I told him that I would not un
dergo it. The following week I read
an advertisement in the paper of your
Vegetable Compound in such an emer

NO CEREMONY IS WASTED.
Bnriala at Sea Are Not Marked by an
Excesi of Reverence.
I had always conceived a burial at
sea to be a -very solemn and awe-inspiring'
event, but -I was quickly disillusioned,-
by this burial at any rate.
One of the hunters, a little dark-eyed
man whom his mates called "Smoke,"
was telling stories, liberally inter
sprinkled with oath and obscenities,
and every minute or so the group of
hunters gave mouth to a laughter that
sounded to me like a chorus of wolves.
The sailors trooped noisily aft, some
of the watch below rubbing their eyes,
and talked in low tones together. There
was an ominous and worried expres
sion on their faces. ,. It was evident
that they did not like the outlook of a
voyage under such a captain and be
gun so-inauspiciously. From time to
time they stole glances at Wolf Larsen,
and I could see that they were appre
hensive 'of the man. '
He stepped, up to the hatch cover
and all hats came off. I ran my eyes
over them twenty men all told,
twenty-two including the man at the
wheel and myself. I was pardonably
curious in my survey, for it appeared
my fate to be pent up M'ith them on
this miniature floating world for I knew
not how many weeks or months. The
sailors in the main were English or
Scandinavian and their faces seemed of
the heavy, stolid order. The hunters,
on the other hand, had stronger and
more diversified faces, with hard lines
and the marks of the free play of pas
sions. Strange to say, and I noted it
at once, Wolf Larsen's features show
ed ho such evil stamp. There seemed
nothing vicious in them. True, there
were lines, but they were the lines of
decision and firmness. It seemed rath
er a frank and open countenance, which
frankness or openness was enhanced by
the fact that he was smooth shaven.
At this moment as he opened his
mouth to speak, puff after puff struck
the schooner and pressed her side
under. The wind shrieked a wild song
through the rigging. Some of the hunt
ers glanced anxiously aloft. The whole
lee rail, where the dead man lay, was
buried in thesea, and as the schooner
lifted and righted the water swept
across the deck, wetting us above our
shoetops. A shower of rain drove
down upon us, each stinging like a
hailstone. As it passed Wolf Larsen
began to speak, the bareheaded men
swaying In unison to the heave and
lunge of the deck.
"I only remember one part of the
service," he said, " and that is 'and the
body shall be cast into the sea.' So
cast it iu." He ceased speaking. The
men holding the hatch cover seemed
perplexed, puzzled, no doubt, by the
briefness of the ceremony. He burst
upon them in fury.
"Lift up that end there! What the
's the matter with you?"
They elevated the end of the hatch
cover with pitiful haste, and, like a
dog flung overside, the dead man slid
feet first into the sea. The coal at his
feet dragged him down. He was gone.
"Johansen," Wolf Larsen said brisk
ly to the new mate, " keep all hands
on deck now they're here. Get in the
top sails and outer jibs. We're in for a
sou'easter. Reef the jib and the main
sail, too, while you're about it." "The
Sea Wolf."
The Right and the Wrong.
It is right to work for our daily
bread, and for use to others In what
ever form may present itself. The
wrong way of doing it makes unnec
essary strain, over fatigue and illness.
The right way of working gives new
power and joy in the work.
It is right for most people to sleep
eight hours every night. The wrong
way of doing, it Is to go to sleep all
doubled up, and to continue to work
all night in our sleep, instead of giv
ing up and resting entirely. The right
way gives us the fullest possible
amount of rest and refreshment.
It is right to take our three meals a
day, and all the nourishing food we
we need. The wrong way of doing It;
is to eat very fast, without chewing
stomachs no restful opportunity of
preparation to receive its food, or to
take good care . of It after it is re
ceived. The right way gives us the
opportunity to assimilate the food en
tirely, so that every bit of. fuel, we
put into our bodies is burnt to some
good purpose; " and makes . us more
truly ready , to receive more.
It is. right to -play and amuse our
selves for rest or recreation. We play,
in the wrong" when we -use ourselves
up in the strain of -playing, in the anx
iety lest we should sot wba in a game,
or, when we play in-'bad air. Leslie's
Monthly.
Sweet Music
The children of Paris have a new
toy in a clockwork phonograph cost
ing only seventy -five cents. This re
markable instrunient, which La Nature
describes, has a mica diaphragm, a
sounding-box, a trumpet, and a needle
which follows the record upon the disk. '
Most marvelous of all is the disk
itself, for the voice record is made in'
chocolate. It is said to give a fine re
production of the voice, and and j
and the record, tune and all, can be
eaten after it has been played.
A Popular Performance. I
"An automobile almost knocked a !
man down in Main street to-day. The
crowd stood breathless for awhile, j
but the next minute everybody
cheered."
"Because of the chaffeur's skill?"
"No, the skill of the other man.
He punched the chaffeur good and

These are samples of letters re
ceived by Dr. Hartman from the vari
ous orders of Catholic Sisters through
out the United States.
The names and addresses to these
letters have been withheld from re
spect to the Sisters but will be fur
nished on request.
One-half of the diseases which af
fict mankind are due to some catarrhal
derangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act immediate
ly upon the congested mucous mem
brane restoring it to its normal state,
would consequently cure all these dis
eases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, whether it be in the head,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pel
vic organs. A remedy that will cure
it in one location will cure it in all
locations. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
