The year 1K07 liaa been, it might be «aid
almost a. commonplace one, tdnce its com­
mencement, that is, no events of over­
whelming moment have taken place, but
there has beam no dearth of important
occurrences. The war between '1 urkey
and Greece, the struggle for freedom in
Cuba, the costly and long-drawn-out
strike in the Ohio and Pennsylvania coal
fields, the change of national administra­
tion, the oiifrctment of the Dingley tariff
law, the disastrous spring floods in the
Mississippi valley and autumn fires in the
West and Northwest, and the epidemic of
yellow fever in the Southern States are
clearly not matters of small importance
in the history of the world. The year has
been an unusual one from the fact that
but- few men of really great reputation
have passed from the stage of their earth­
ly labors; their number can be computed
upon the fingers of the two hands.
The most important events of the year
are recorded below in the order of their
occurrence:

NEVER

WOMEN MARTYRS.
Apr Inst the probability or possibility of
niist hance or accident we can never be too
sure. But if we should stop to consider
how great ’ > the chance o f sudden death,
we would be made too timid mid unhappy.
Caution is needed not to l*e foolhardy, and
precaution to know what is beat to do when
an accident happens. One day this winter
two men were walking, and one said:
" We’re too timid in treading on slippery
plates. I tread nrnily and never think
about them, and so escape a fall.” “ Never
lit* too sure,” said the other, “ it is that that
throw* vou ofi and makes the fall the
haider.’' Just then they came upon a pla'-e
covered with thin snow, where kids had
been sliding. Thcnrst speaker slipped, and
came down with his foot turned, and badly
sprained his ankle. He was a cripple oil
crutches until a short time ago, having used
many tilings without benent. Up to that
time hu had not used St. Jacobs Oil, which,
when used, cured him completely, so that
lie walks as usual There is a probability
that for the rest of the season he will walk
( autiouslv. with the precaution of having
tliis great remedy ready for use.

It is interesting to note that the capi­
tal value of the British navy at tl e
present time exceeds £94,000,000 The
first cost of the fleet which led to the
downfall of Napoleon was hut £10,-
000 , 000 . The fleet then comprised be­
tween 480 and 490 fighting vessels.

Despite the warnings of those who have been
on the s>i ot, and predict suffering in the Klon­
dike region, thousands of adventurous Ameri­
cans un-wcwUug their way thitherward. All
oi I hem shou d be provided with that medicinal
safeguard, Il< setter's Storm.ch B itter, which
w arn s and nourishes the system and prevents
mu hi - h , rheumatism, kidney trouble, besides
rem. dying liver complaint, dyspepsia and
constipation.
Lots o f women suffer constantly,
and seldom utter complaint.
O u r habits o f life a n d d re s s t e ll

their

depend
upon that
know l­
edge and how to overcome the dangers
that threaten them.
There is no need o f our describing
the experiences o f such women here—
they are too w ell know n by those who
have suffered; but we w ill impress
upon every one that these are the
never-failing symptoms o f serious
w om b trouble, and unless relieved at
once a life w ill be forfeited.
