Mrs. Pinkham Is a wo man, If you have painful periods, backaches or any of the more serious Ills of women, write to Mrs. Pinkham; she has helped multitudes. Your loiter will be saoredly confidential. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Oompound Is known wherever the Eng lish language Is spoken. Nothing else can possi bly be so sure to help suf fering women. No other medk»ire has helped so many.

Henry Norman says that the two mo ments when one appreciates It are the first sight of its frowniug gates aud the last. Whatever it is or is not to the "men of long views,” It must always be one of the nerve centers of human interest and iutematioual relations. During the dynasty of those Mings, whose name was the warcry of the Taipings, and is to-day in the mouths of many of the secret societies that form the great difficulty of Chinese rule and management, It was a city of but second-rate importance. Their attention was given to the em bellishment of the now half-wasted city of Nankin, often called “the na tional capital,” but Pekin has been the imperial capital since the Ta-Tsings seized the throne, and those who are qualified to speak are of opinion that any notion of degrading it from its pride of place, to suit the convenience of European diplomacy, is foredoomed to failure. It is not ouly the capital of the Manebus, It is the capital of the mandarins. The official word is of the Pekinese stamp, and the Pekinese is the official language, the tongue of the graduate aud educated man. To the ear it lias a pleasanter and softer sound than the rough dialects of the prov inces. and it has been developed and molded to the elaborate and ornate phrases of polite society.
