Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Inspires Confidence and Hope. Examination by a male physician is a hard trial to a delicately oiganized 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 an impression.more or less, of discour­ agement. This condi­ tion of the mind destroys the effect of advice; and she grows 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 wellspring of hope, and her wide experi­ ence and skill point the way to health. " I suffered with ovarian trouble for ceven years, and no doctor knew what was the matter with me. I had spells which would last for two days or more. I thought I would try Lydia E. Pink­ ham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken seven bottles of it, and am en­ tirely cured "—M rs J ohn F oreman . 26 N Woodberry Ave., Baltimore, Md. The above letter from Mrs. Foreman is only one of thousands. In order to further introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat Iron Brand), the manufacturers. I. C. Hubinger Bros.

These presents are in the form of Beautiful Pastel Pictures They are ijxig inches in size,and are entitled as follows: Pansies and Marguerites. The lighting of the tombs in the in­ terior of the pyramids and the outlin­ ing of the tops of the pyramids with arc lamps has brought home to West- 1 ern minds the fact that electricity is rapidly being adopted in the far East­ ern countries. The Western Electri­ cian in a recent issue states that electric lighting, especially for household pur­ poses, is rapidly progressing in Egypt. It is offered at cheap rates, and is far | preferable in the Egyptian climate to ' the very ordinary quality of gas sup­ plied by the gas company at Cairo, 1 which has been granted a concession to supply electric light. Only 'two trains on the government railway are at pres­ ent equipped with electric lights, but other installations are proposed. The I gas company mentioned has contracted to light all Cairo by electricity in lieu of gas, and it is confidently expected4 that Alexandria will soon adopt the same method. Wild American Poppies. Lilacs and iris. These rare pictures, four in number, by the renowned pastel artist, R. LeRoy, of New York, have been chosen from the very choicest subjects in his studio and are now offered for the first time to the public. The pictures are accurately reproduced in all the colors used in the orig- inals, and are pronounced by competent critics, works of art. Pastel pictures are the correct thing for the home, nothing surpassing th-m in beautv, richness of color and artistic merit. Somewhat Flithy. Wonderful are the tales of travelers, and the proof, remarks Youth’s Com­ panion, is generally ready for purposes ot substantiation, if their truth is called in question. A tourist who had returned from a t-ip to Seattle and Tacoma was describ­ ing to his Eastern friends the glories of that region, its marvelous climate, and the rapid strides its people are making in the arts and sciences of civilization. "I tell you,” he said, “they are away ahead of you people here. Even the animals are more sprightly, and have more go-aheadativeness about them than the animals in this part of the country.” “I have heard,” said a sarcastic listeneer, with a wink at the others, “that the fish out there can sing.” “Well, they do have a kind of Puget Sound about them,” rejoined the trav­ eler.
