' ^Regularity is a matter of importance la every woman's life. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it v te necessary and not alarming, when! in truth it is all wrong and indicates, derangement that may cause serious trouble. Excessive monthly pain itself will imsettle the nerves and make women old before their time. The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per­ formance of nature's function. The statement we print from Miss GER­ TRUDE SIKHS, of Eldred, Pa., is echoed • in every city, town and hamlet in this oountry. Read what she Bays: " DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--I feel like a new person since following your ad­ vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain­ ful menstruation and leucorrhaea. - I was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies I never had any faith in patent medi­ cines. I now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhoea. I hope these few words may help suffering women." The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi­ ence in treating female ills is unparal­ leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing Women during a single year. All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for advice about their health. g, Where Are They ?

Don' t Refuse All Our Advice to Use MM* JOHN:" It was all she sidd, but he could see her grow white to and her hands clasped and un- nerrously. Why, Millie, I thought you'd be glad, and would wish a fellow God speed?" "But we shall miss you so at home," she made tne soft answer. "Nonsense, there are enough left!" he said, lightly, adding more gravely: "And you know, Millie, how I have al­ ways hated this grinding poverty, and how I have had to give up all my dreams of college and a professional tareer to run the farm, and, then have barely kept the wolf from the door. Now that the other boys can take my place, I am too old to succeed aloug ed­ ucational lines, and uiust try 6ohie oth­ er way, and what better one is there than to try the Klondike? Yes, I am going;, the party starts In ontf month, and I shall not return until I< return a rich man." The girl buried her fmie in her apron and burst into tears, sobbing Until the young man was almost frightened; but he held his peace, going back 4n mem­ ory to his first meeting with* her four­ teen years before, when she, a tiny, willful elf of 5" years', came, an orphan, into their poor home. It was with him she first made friends; he rocked and soothed her to sleep when she cried of homesickness; to him she had gone ever since with her joys and sorrows. And lie? • Well, always old and full of care be­ yond his years, he had taken her Into his arms, and more and more, as the years passed, she became bis idol; but there had been no love-making be tween them. Each had been content to be near the other; each was burdened with the multitudinous burdens that daily fell to their lot. There were ten children, besides Mil­ lie, in the Stanley family. The oldest, a girl, was deadt the second married and far away; then came five boys, John, the eldest of these; then a girl, and lastly two boys. Millie, coming in Just where she did--like John--had much care and hard work; but no one had ever heard her complain or seen such a look on her bright face as it now wore. When the storm of her grief spent John s|id, gravely: "I may not have another chance to see you alone, Millie, so I want to tell you this now, although I am sure you must know it. I love you with more than a brother's love; you are the one TTT^mov. <v, „JS , . , am not going to ask you to bind your­ self. I am leaving home for the sake of the whole family, but more than all for your sake, Millie. If you want me on my return I, with all I have, will be yours; if I never come back, you will -now that largely for your sake I tried and failed. You " But here he was interrupted by the girl throwing her arms about his neck in her old childish way, and sobbing: "Don't go, John. O, don't go!" He drew her into his arms and kissed and soothed her as on that first night • * • • • • * John was gone and life in the busy old hive of a farm house went on ap­ parently much the same/but It was not the same with Millie. At parting she had said: "I shall never, never see you again, John." He bad tried to smile, though his eyes were suspiciously moist, 'and had an­ swered, lightly : "Nonsense, dear one, I'll remind you of your gloomy prophecy on our wed­ ding day." Then more gravely: "When I send yoj^a flower from the banks of the Yukon, you may know it is an omen of success, and that day--if so be you ar4 true to John--begin to prepare for our union. The few letters that I can send will be, of course, family affairs, but thjs you alone will understand." Days, weeks, and months passed. Once, in what seemed to Millie an age, a letter came and it always contained money, for John hired out at once in­ stead of prospecting for himself. Too, the letters were full of bounding life and hope; full of dreams of success and the glad home-coming. Drawing strength from these, the girl went on her now dotlbly burdened way. Never before had she realized how much he had done to lighten her burdens; how he had tried to shelter her; how like a bulwark his love had been around her; how much she had depended on his ap­ preciation and sympathy. It had all seemed a matter of course to her. It was a sultry August evening. Fork­ ed lightning played along the western horizon. An occasional distant roll of thunder bftrbingered a storm before the morning. Millie, sitting on the back steps wait­ ing for the boys to come from the vil­ lage with the mail, indulged in bright dreams of the future, an easy, happy future, in a quiet home devoid of all the.rush, worry and wrangle of a largfc family, she ami John would be so cozy. Her head ached, but happy thoughts and night breezes cooled her brow and she smiled contentedly, though her heart was hungry for John. Presently Hal, coming up the iane in ihe twilight, said: "Here's a letter for Millie, »nd Ifa from the Klondike, but it ain't from John!" ! Prom the Klondike, and not from John?" Millie repeated interrogatively, her voice sounding queer to Hal and the others just coming out. "What is it?' cried the mdther, sharp­ ly. * 'What is it?" echoed Anna. Git a light *nd let us see!" command­ ed Hal, while he almost dragged Millie Into the house.

"No." And then Millie opened the en­ velope. A smaller one was Inclosed, addressed to herself in John's hand­ writing. "What's that?" and a half-dozen hands reached for it, but she waved them off and began reading from the half sheet accompanying; reading, too, in the monotonous tone of one who in­ stinctively knows the worst and has nothing to fear: Miss Millie White: I inclose an en­ velope addressed to yourself, found this morning among the personal effects of John Stanley, who was accidentally killed three days since while helping a party run through Miles Canyon. If you,are a relative or friend of his ac­ cept' the sympathy of one who loved him as a brother. D. B. LYON." "Dawson." { y.' The letter slowly fluttered from Mil­ lie's fingers to the floor, and as her hands fell nervously into her lap they came in contact with the inclosed en­ velope. Mechanically she opened It, but at sight of the contents uttered a low moan and her face was convulsed with agony. There was only a faded blos­ som sewed to a white card and the words beneath: "A flower from the Yukon." But it spoke volumes to the girl. "The day you get it begin to get ready for ouy union." She heard the words as plainly as she did the sound of wailing in the room. John was gone, but she would go to him; there would be indeed a glad un­ ion; and then "she rose and ministered" unto the stricken household. Of John's savings the family receiv­ ed what seemed to them quite a for­ tune. but to Millie the "flower of the Yukon" Is worth all the gold in the Klondike.--Exchange. 1 BUYING WIVES. How Settlers In the Hudson. Bar Region Secured Helpmate*. In the old days, when the English- speaking race were gradually spread­ ing themselves over the world, the men who settled in out-of-the-way places either had to live a bachelor life or con­ tent themselves with a wife from the native population of the country in which they had taken up their abode. The old Hudson Bay factors were confronted with this difficulty when they wished to become benedicts, and often married Indian girls. These wives they acquired by purchase, in accord­ ance with the red Indian custom. A gun, a colored blanket, or a twist of to­ bacco would secure a most desirable, squaw in those days. The wife was certainly obtainable at a reasonable price, but those early traders found the possession of a red Indian wife an ex­ pensive luxury, fn bad times, which they often experienced In those cold regions, the husband was looked upon to feed all the wife's near relation^. The number of these relsttons was as­ tonishing, and the poor trader found It rather expensive to supply food to a small tribe of Indians who claimed themselves to be 'Viear" relations ol his wife. Many of them, however, did not cars *- - --- Tn«1Un mnl^Ano found near their posts, and, seeing'tpw expensive their companions found them, they petitioned the company to select wives for them and send them out by the next boat. Their wishes were Invariably complied with, and the selections, as a rtila, were perfectly satisfactory. Among the archives of the Hudson Bay Company are to be found receipts from factors 6 running something like the following: "Received, per Lapwing, Jane Goody, as per invoice, in good condition;" and "Received, per Osprey, Matilda Tim- bias. Returned per Lapwing, as not being in accordance with description contained in invoice."--London Tld Bits. Bapartasaaof the Khojtso* t| , of India. In India the great enemy "of is the khojl, whose name slgni' "searcher," or "tracker," and win business is |o track criminals by tl footprints. These trackers are trai: to their calling frotn youth, and become exceedingly expert. They are an es­ pecial terror to the cattle-stealers, who, in the parts of the Punjab adjoining the Indus and other large rivers, where much grazing is carried on, are very plentiful. They match their cunning against that of the tracker, but. they h£ye t^lje very clever to throw him off the scent. ~ One of their tricks Is to c$tch a buf­ falo, drive it into the river and, cling­ ing to its tail, guide it in the way they desire to go. By this means they are quickly carried down the current, and leave no telltale footprints. But the ruse is not always successful, for the reason that the tracker thinks nothing of distance, and is likely to come upon the tracks farther on, when the .thlef is forced to leave the stream. A good tracker will follow a thief, i yard by yard, for a hundred miles, and ?ome up with him in the end. In one instance a burglar was thus tracked until the searcher reached the lockup of a villsge eighty miles from the startiiig point, IasUle the build­ ing was the man he had set out to find. The police of that place had observed a suspicious-looking character walking about, carrying a small bundle, and had promptly locked him up. An examina­ tion of the buudle brought to light jew­ elry worth several hundred rupees. Orie particularly good tracker, of whom a writer in Chambers' Journal tells, was especially useful because of his local knowledge. He was engaged to find a burglar who had carried off some Jewelry. As soon as the tracker saw the trail he said, "It is So-and-so. Go to his house in yondtjr village and you will find him.". The officers went, and came upon the tl\ief in the act of breaking up ike jewelry. In one instance the tracker's skill al­ most condemned an innocent man. Two sheep belonging to a government offi­ cial had been stolen, and the footprints were found to be those of a man cm- ployed to look after the public gardens. The man was arrested, but when the track was followed up it was found to end opposite the police barracks, where the skins of the sheep were discovered. As it seemed unlikely that a thief would deposit his booty under the very eyes of the police, a further investiga­ tion was made, and it was eventually proved that the sheep had been taken by the police, who, to throw the track­ ers off the scent, had stolen and worn the gardener's boots. ___ »m South"Africk,'flppT^^HKlie and Iraiift gold is belnfl)^^;ip large Ities.

Roots Entwined Hffn. John Randolph of Roanoke died June 24, 1833, at the City Hotel In Phila­ delphia, where he had gone to set sail for England. On his way there he passed through Washington, and, drag­ ging his cmaciated body with difficulty to the Seqate Chamber, again met Henry Clay. T3be former enemies had a touching interview and parted, for the last time, in peace and good will. Randolph was carried to Virginia and buried under the piues of Roanoke in the midst of that solitude which be had always craved in life. Many years later his remains were removed to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, myj a handsome monument placed over them by John Randolph Bryan. In making the removal it was found that his body was buried no less than eight feet in the ground; the triple lead coffin was with difficulty removed, as the roots of an old. oak had burst it asutider and wrapped round and round his body, holding him in a long em­ brace close to the State he had loved so well.--Philadelphia Times.

Tile Channel Islands; ' Dating the past five years mpny American tourists, aroused by the vfvid descriptions of Victor Hugo, have vis- ite4 the famous Channel Islands, of which Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney are the largest. These are between England and France and their inhabit­ ants are an odd mixture of the two na tioualitles. They are very conserva tive and keep up many of the customs of ancient times. Some of them are quite pretty and have been reproduced in England and America by returned travelers. ^One is to haw the bedrooms look Into the garden and not the street. When this cannot be done a glass par titlon with a door is built across the room, and the half by the window is made Into a conservafcoty. Another useful idea is a little clay-lined iron krazirr, qgsd for broiling meat over « charcoal fire. It makes no smoke and can be extinguished quickly. For rapid and comfortable cooking in summer it is invaluable. The Islands are warm and fertile and are famous for lettuce, chicory, salsify, endives, sorrel, cress • •«». •»»»._ 4_ .. are mffde into mixed salads and also into otoelettes, like the so-called Span­ ish omelettes. The latter are tasty and very wholesome. The islanders excel in pastry. Fruits are the favorite food. They are served raw, jsliced with the famous Jersey cream, baked, with cus­ tard, stewed with a little Vine and sugar and strangely In pies, good Amer­ ican pies! The Guernsey mince pie has no meat or ^uet lu its composition. It is made of apple, pear, peach, plum, berries, raisins, grapes, citron, sugar, butter, spices, wine and brandy, and is reported to be exceedingly fascinating. A "Jersey luncheon," is now given by experts, consists of bouillon, a mixed salad, a Mfrdine pastry, a Guernsey mince pie*, then wine and coffee, which is not bad for Guernsey.--New York Mail. .
