A Padlocked Heart.
How many
women lock
their troubles
and sufferinfrs
in their own
hearts and si-
lently endure
misery and
pain which
would cause
strong men to
cry out in
agony.
The suffer
of women are more
than half unknown and un-
appreciated. The refined
sensitiveness of their or-
ganism lays them liable to
* thousand exquisite tortures which a
ooarser nature can never experience or
comprehend
The least derangement or disorder of the
delicate special organism of their sex over-
whelms the whole physical and mental be-
ing with weakness ana wretchedness.
Bet it is a mistake to suffer these troubles
in attenoe. They may be cured in the per-
fect privacy of home, withont the repugnant
ordeal of examinations and "local treat-
ment," which the family doctor is sure to
insist upon.
No physician in the world has had a wider
or mote successful experience in the treat-
meet of woman’s diseases than Dr. R. V.
Mesne, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. His “ Favorite Prescription ”
ia a poeitive cure for the most obstinate and
complicated feminine difficulties.
tt it the only medicine of its kind pre-
pend by an educated, shilled physician.
Mr. J. P. Sneed, of Omen, Texas, writes : " My

The
Cruel Knife!
The alarming increase In the number
of death* which occur as the result of a
surgical operation ia attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the moat intelli-
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors’ treat-
ment ia unsuccessful, the learned physi-
cians decide at one* that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blada
of the snrgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be indulged in
promiscuously, and aa ao many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing a fearful risk to human life, even if
snccessfnl.
It Is a positive fact, however, that all
considered mentally or from her photo-'operations are not necessary, and that a

The Original Poem Wasn’t by Cowper at
All, bat by Some One Else.
There is a woman’s literary olnb on
the South Side which is having the
hardest imaginable time to keep togeth-
er. Unlike most similar organizations,
it is not from want of money that this
association of fair students is constant-
ly threatened with disbandment A
ipirit of discontent and rivalry stalks
through the meetings.
The original purpose of the olnb was
a thorough criticism of the works of
Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton,
Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But
although this laudable intention was
adhered to for several months, after
awhile some of them got to writing es-
says and other papers to be read before
the society. The book trade may noi
have noticed it, but at that time there
was a considerable run on oonoordanoes,
glossaries, books of synonyms and liter-
ary dictionaries. Ever sinco then things
have gone from bad to worse. It seems
impossible to maintain harmony.
The vioe president of the organiza
tion, a charming young lady, whether
graph, recently wrote a rather extend-
ed poem in a very lofty strain. She read
it to the olub. Amid the general ap-
plause which followed there oame from
several remote corners of the room
something like murmnrs. A couple of
her auditors were heard to say that aba
had never written anything like that
before; that they didn’t believe any
one in the club was capable of it; that,
in fact, several passages soundod
strangely familiar.
Finally one member with glasses and
a very penetrating expression, address
ing the author of the poem, said:
"Didn’t you get some of that from
Cowper? I’m sure you did.
"I did nothing of the kind,” rotorted
the vice president, flushing at the ac-
cusation.
"Oh, but I remember almost the ex'
act lines!” persisted her accuser.
“How daro you say so!” returned the
poot hotly.
“But we’ll get tho book and look,”
persisted tho other.
“You’re a mean, mean thing,” said
the vioe president, bursting into tears
“I didn’t get this from Cowper at all.
And now that you’re so smart I’ll not
tell you where I did get it”—Chicago

A Young Woman After Registering Give*
the Clerks a Surprise.
She drifted into an uptown hotel by
way of tho women's entrance. She was
plainly but neatly clad and did not
look liko a girl who was used to the
system in operation at a big hotel. She
had a bright, pretty face and looked
fresh and charming. The two clorks on
duty eyed her curiously and exchanged
comments about tho girl. Sho hesitated
a moment when she reached the office,
hut after some little display of ember-
rassment walked up to the desk and
pioked np a pen in a diffident mannor.
Tho clerk wheeled tho book around so
that tho place for signatures was in the
proper position and waited. She chewed
nervously at the end of the pen, then
dipped it slowly in tho ink, and with a
groat deal of pains wrote:
“Alias Mary McClosky, 872 West
Ninety-third street.”
Then she eyed her effort approvingly
and carefully laid the pen down. The
clerk, who had been watching the oper-
ation with a good deal of curiosity, said:
“Room, miss?”
A flush mantled her face, but she
said sweetly, “Yes, if you please.”
‘‘Would you like a room with a bath?”
asked tho clerk in a puzzled tona
Again sho seemed embarrassed and hesi-
tated, but finally said in a low tone:
“Yes, if yon please. That would be
very nice and I would thank you very
much.”
“How much do you caro to pnv for a
room?” said the clerk as his eye swept
tho rack.
“Pay?” she said in sheer surprise.
“Pay? Why, I didn’t expect to pay any-
thing. I got a job here today as a charp
bermaid and I havo just come down.

A Miraculous Draft of Fishes.
Tho dwellers on the banks of the
Neckar, near the good old German town
of Heilbronn, had an experience the
other day which must have reminded
them of the miraculous draft of
fishes. A few days ago, toward evening,
the worthy Heilbronners perceived that
the Neoknr was toward both its banks
one moving mass of all sorts and con-
ditions of fish, thronging landward in
seeming anxiety to be caught Nor was
this tacit appeal at all disregarded, for
every man, woman and child of the
vicinity ran out with pots and pans,
with spades and rakos, and pails and
baskets to help himself or herself to a
share of fish. The explanation of the
miracle, which perchance might prove
a hint to fisher folk, was that the river
had become so muddy after recent heavy
rains that the fish found it difficult to
breathe in tho "thick” water and had
approached tho banks for more air.—

Bee.’ Brain*.
The brain of the honeybee has re-
cently been studied by Dr. Kenyon of
Clark university more thoroughly, it is
said, than ever before. It is thought
that the source of a bee’s power to
odnpt itself intelligently to its sur-
roundings has been discovered in certain
peculiar objects in its brain called the
’'mushroom bodies. ’’
The quantity of gas made in Germany
last year, according to official returns,
was 25,887,000 cubic feet, in the man-
ufacture of which 2,750,000 tons of ooal
was employed. The number of Amies
in use was 5,735,000.
In ten years $ 1,000,000 has been paid
out by the casualty fund of the British
Benevolent institution to injured rail-
way men and their families.
A powder made from a fossil shell
known as “the devil’s thumb” is re-
garded both as a cure and a preventive
of whooping cough in many parts of
England and Ireland.
The man who walks through life on
a carpet of velvet and has a nice time
of it is the one who thinks twice before
he speaks once, and then doesn’t say
much.

slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to core a blood disease, and a sur-
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can-
cer ana scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can-
cer is In the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can b*
cut from the blood.
Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeon’s knife he rap-
idly grew worse. Mr. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
“When mv son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat-
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him a great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but I thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem-
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift’s Specific), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis-
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was a permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had a sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn.” ■
S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases snch as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

Apoplexy has increased in England
in a very remarkable degree since 1850.
In the 16 years ending with 1866 there
were 457 deaths from apoplexy per
1,000,000 inhabitants. Last year the
ratio was 577 por 1,000,000.

When it was said to the woman: “In
sorrow shalt thou bring forth chil-
dren,” that a perpetual curse was
pronounced, but the thrill of joy felt
by every Mother when she clasps to
her heart her babe proves the con-
trary. True, dangers lurk in the
pathway of the Expectant Mother
and should be avoided.
