That is how women die when attacked by any of the diseases peculiar to their sex. Woman's burdens are woefully heavy. Her sufferings are agonizing. Her patience is grand. - Disease preys upon her. The light dies out of her . eyes, her steps become slow and dragging; she loses flesh; grows sallow, listless, droops like a flower. Then -she dies. Her family is left to the cola mercy of the world. "Mother's dead!" What a piteous phrase. What sufferings have been endured before it was used. Why should mothers, wives, sisters suffer so? They need not. Dodd's Kidney Pills will quickly and thoroughly cure all cases of Female Weakness. They never fail. They give health, strength, courage: a new lease of life. %he tnron Cxpasitor. DISTRICT MATTERS.

If this meant that she cared for the things that most women care for, then it is painfully false. If, how- ever,- it meant that she cared supremely for the things that only the best women care for, then it is beautifully true. She did not iudeed care for gowns and diamonds, for the admiration of men and social display. But the loved knowledge and tfurity, she craved the power to sway and shape the thoughts of her generation and to lift all manhood to the plane of thenoblest womanhood. She fas- cinated girls and wonien,I think,becauee she belonged to a new species. Other famous women have done the work of men or sap- plemented it. dean of Arc led men to vic- tory. Florence Nightingale nursed them after battle. • But Frenees Willard asserted the dignity of womanhood and the right and duty of women to shape the homes and the society for which they suffered, and she began by teaching women 6 respect their own soule and to cease regatelingthemtelves as dependent for happiness wholly upon masculine purpose and maseuline endeavor. The charm of her speech, the magic �f her idealism, the courage of her piety, the in- definable pressure of her inflexible will made her sovereign first among Pupils and then - among the women who throagel about her in visible throne. • Mr. H. Hancock's Victory - Over Kidney Disease, Won lay the Help of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Galt, April 11—(Special) I The greatest "speech delivered for many 'years, in Galt, was made recently • by H. Hancock, Esq., proprietor of the fine hotel, the Iroquis: It was short and pithy and conveyed to every sufferer from kidney disease the glad news that they need suffer no longer. Mr. Hancock's statement runs thus: "For over a year I suffered with perrible back- aches. Nothing I used gave me the least relief till I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I used only a few boxes, but today every vestige -of pain has! vanished com- pletely. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only cure on earth for Kidney diseases. , . • , War and Peace. If there be any truth established by the universal experience of nations it is this, that to carry the spirit of peace into war is a, weak and cruel policy. The -time for nego- tiation is the time for deliberation and de- lay. But when an extreme case dells for that remedy which is in its -own nature most violent, and which, in such cases, is a remedy only because it is violent, it is idle to think of mitigating and diluting. Lan- guid war can do nothing which negotiation or submission will not do better ; and to act on any other principle is not to save blood and money, but to squander them. Baldheads Healthy. There is one satisfaction that a bald-headed man can have,and that is,that there in -ahead - reds of chances in his favor that be Will never die of consumption. There seemsto be some kind of connection between bald heads and sound lungs. If a man is pre- maturely bald it shows that there is some- thing abnormal with him, but it does not show that there is any trouble with 'his lungs. Indeed, it shows that his lungs are all right.

Stockton is writing 'lime Buccaneers of Our Coast" in St. Nicholas. He says: . Among the buccaneer leaders who -distin- guished themselves at land pirates was Francis L'Olonuois, a Frenchman. In those -days it was the custom to enforce servitude upon people, who were not able to take care of themselves. Unfortunate debtors and paupers of all classes were sold to people who had need of . their services. Boys end girls were Sold for a term of years, somewhat as if they had been ap- prentices and it so happened that the boy L'Olonnois was sold to a master who took him to the West Indies. . There he led the life of a slave until he was of age, and then, being no longer Sub- ject to ownership, hoocame pile of the t freest and most indep ndent persons who ever walked this earthiHo began his ca- reer en theislandof thispaniola, where he took up the business -et hunting and butch- ering cattle, but he scion became. a pirate and enlisted as a common sailor on one of . their ships. Here he gave signs of being so brave and unscrupulous that one of the loading pirates on the, island of Tortuga gave him a ship and crew and set him up in business. The career of ,,L'Olonnois was much like that of !other buccaneers of the day except that be was -abominably cruel to his Spanish milsonerse , All the barbarities attributed to the pirates of the Werld were united in the ca- reer of this wretch, who does not appear to be -so good an example of the true pirate as . Roc, the Brazilian. He was not so brave, he was not so able, and it would be impossible for any one to look. Upon him as a hero. • After having attained -In a short time the reputation of being the wickedest pirate of his day, L'Olonnois was 'unfortunate enough to be wrecked upon the coast near Campeaohy. 'He and his crew came safely to shore, but it was not long before their presence was discov- ered by the people of . the town, and the Spanish soldiers attacked them. There was a fierce fight, but the -Spaniards were stronger, and the buccaneers were utterly defeated. Many were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Among the wounded was L'Olonnois, and when the Spaniards' walked over the battlefield he was looked upon as killed. When the soldiers had retired, he stealthily arose and made his way into the woods, whore he staid until his wounds were well enough for him to walk about. He di- vested himself of hisgreatboots, his.pistol belt mid the rest of his piratical costume, and adding to his scanty raiment a cloak and hat which he had stolen from a poor cottage, ho boldly approached the town and entervd it. He looked like a very or- dinary person, and no notice was taken of him by the authorities. • Hero he found shelter and something to cot, and he soon began to make himself very much at home in the streets of Campeachy. A. Song of Ecstasy. In The Century there is a paper on the ."Songs of American Birds," by John Bur- roughs. Mr. Burroughs says: A very interesting feature of our bird songs Is the wing song or song of ecetasy. It is not the gift of many of our birds. Indeed, less than a dozen species are known to lite as over singing on the wing. It seems to spring from Mere intense ex- citement and self abandonment than the ordinary song. delivered from the perch. When the bird's joy reaches the point of rapture, it is literally carried off its feet, and up it goes into the air, pouring out its song as a rocket pours its sparks. The skylait and the bobolink habitually do this, but a fete others of our birds do it only on owes!t ns. Last summer, up in the Catskills added another name to any list of ecstatiic ingera—that of the vesper sparrow. Several times I heard a new song in the air, and caught a glimpse of the bird as it dropped back to the earth. My attention would beattracted by a suc- cession of hurried, chirping notes, followed by a brief burst of song, then by tho van- ishing form of the bird. One day I was lucky enough to see the bird as it was ris- ing to its climax in the air and identified - It as the vesper sparrow. Tho burst of song that crowned the upward flight of 75 or 100 feet was brief, but it was brilliant and striking and entirely unlike the lei- surely chant of the bird while upon the ground. It suggested a lark, but was less buzzing or humming. I The preliminary chirping notes'uttered faster and faster as the bird mounted in the air, were like the trail of sparks which a xooket emits before its grand burst of color at the top of its Slight. Couldn't Take All of It. One of the tiost popular men in local banking cited se and a rising young finan- cier, with an admittedfuture, is John Dempster McKee cashier of the Trillant Banking company. Ile is fond at a good story, and tells the following one about himself: When he was a boy, his tendency to stut- ter was a severe affliction to Dempster, . but he has since then lost his sensitiveness, although his speech has not been greatly improved. Not long ago he, engaged a • new stenographer, who was anxious to succeed and nervously desirous of pleasing her employer. It was her firtit situation. After he had summoned her to receive her first dictation, Mr. McKee noticed that his stenographer was somewhat per- turbed. "It's q -quite easy," said the cashier kindly. 'Just t -take it d -d -down the w -way I s -say it." "Oh, Mr. McKee," exclaimed the poor little typewriter, more nervous than ever, picturing t� herself a letter full of dashes and disjointed letters, "I am afraid I could not take all of it down!"—San Francisco News Letter. • A Few Palindromes.

One of the women's patriotio socie- ties held an open meeting in Washing- ton recently, and tiro members were called upon to respond to various senti- ments of a patriotic character. The woman who had the affair in charge notified each member of the toast she 'mild be expected to respond to ten days or so before the meeting. To one young woman whom, as it happened, be did not know personally st all she sent the toast, "Our Pag." The young woman received it, and at once went to call on the bead of the society in a state Of great distress. She simply could not respond to the toast, she said. She didn't know whether a joke was intended, but she ...had been chaffed unmercifully about it already and just simply Wouldn't go near the meeting if she were to be call- ed on to speak on that subject "Why, what on earth is wrong with that sentiment?" asked the head of the sooiety. The pretty young woman hesitated. She blushed. -"Well," she said, "you see, I'm ger- lig to marry a man named Plagg."-.. Washington Post. Story of a Ring and la Slipper. The daughter of a 'wealthy resident of the hill section presented a young Woman friend with a pair of dainty slippers, and in the toe of one of them she placed a valuable ring, set -with an opal and two diamonds. The present went to•the destination, but the slippers did not fit, and the recipient of the gift did not discover the ring. She sent the slippers back to the store, and they were placed on- the shelves with the thou- sandskof other similar boxes. On Monday the fliorwalker in the shoadepartment redeived a severe shook when a young woman rushed into the place and rambled off a lot of talk about missing jewels. After some difficulty he managed to get the facts of her story to. gether, and then every one of the em- ployees was ordered to begin a searoh for the slippers.

Tri bun e. WORKERS OF ANTIQUITY. The Use of the Inclined Plane In the Building of the Pyramids. At -a meeting of the Vidlosophical so- ciety of Washington J. B. Watkins pre- senied a paper 011 "The Transportation and Lifting of ileavy Bodies +y the An- eient,Engineers." The purpose of the pa- per! was to show how many of the struc- tures regarded as remarkable by export engineers of the present day, and which soine atelneologists declare Must have re- quired in their erection the Use of im- mense machines, could- have been con-, strnoted by primitive tools and simple Methods. By means of diagrams the speaker ex- plained how Inclined planes of earth could be used in' placing in position stone blocks or slabs of enormous weight, levels and tTpry bars being employed in setting them up. Bo then demonstrated how easily, comparatively speaking, the pyramids could have been constructed by these sim- ple methods, until when completed the earth around them which had been used for the Inclined planes filled -intd the pits from which it was taken, leaving the ground as level as before. AS an illustration tho pyramid of Gieh was cited, mile of the stones of which were transported a distance of 500 miles. In this case the highest embankment nec- essary when the workmen reached the top course, assuming tho.t a 20 per cent grade was adopted, would have been 750 yards long, containing, as it did, some 7,500,000 cubic yards, provided the sides of the em- bankment would stand at an angle of 30 degrees, which is not at all improbable. A force of 10,000 men could have built such an embankment in a single twelVemonth, a very small part of the tetra labor, which it is stated called for the servicesdf 100,- 000 men for 20 years. In the solution of the problem of put- ting in place huge monoliths it was gested that the modern engineer OW well consider the utilizatioa of !inclined planes before adopting a more 'complex method,—Scionee.

The Sunday school teacher had, reached a point in the lesson where she -was dwell- ing upon the future reward of those who behaved properly hero when the ainlacious small boy, who frequents most Sunday schoels, spoke up and asked if all good people went to heaven. - "Certainly," replied his teacher. "Well, has my grandmother gone to heaven?" persisted the youngster. "Surely she has, my boy, if she was a good woman." "No, she hasn't," declared the,fun lov- ing youngster.

If this meant that she cared for the things that most women care for, then it is painfully false. If, how- ever,- it meant that she cared supremely for the things that only the best women care for, then it is beautifully true. She did not iudeed care for gowns and diamonds, for the admiration of men and social display. But the loved knowledge and tfurity, she craved the power to sway and shape the thoughts of her generation and to lift all manhood to the plane of thenoblest womanhood. She fas- cinated girls and wonien,I think,becauee she belonged to a new species. Other famous women have done the work of men or sap- plemented it. dean of Arc led men to vic- tory. Florence Nightingale nursed them after battle. • But Frenees Willard asserted the dignity of womanhood and the right and duty of women to shape the homes and the society for which they suffered, and she began by teaching women 6 respect their own soule and to cease regatelingthemtelves as dependent for happiness wholly upon masculine purpose and maseuline endeavor. The charm of her speech, the magic �f her idealism, the courage of her piety, the in- definable pressure of her inflexible will made her sovereign first among Pupils and then - among the women who throagel about her in visible throne. • Mr. H. Hancock's Victory - Over Kidney Disease, Won lay the Help of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Galt, April 11—(Special) I The greatest "speech delivered for many 'years, in Galt, was made recently • by H. Hancock, Esq., proprietor of the fine hotel, the Iroquis: It was short and pithy and conveyed to every sufferer from kidney disease the glad news that they need suffer no longer. Mr. Hancock's statement runs thus: "For over a year I suffered with perrible back- aches. Nothing I used gave me the least relief till I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I used only a few boxes, but today every vestige -of pain has! vanished com- pletely. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only cure on earth for Kidney diseases. , . • , War and Peace. If there be any truth established by the universal experience of nations it is this, that to carry the spirit of peace into war is a, weak and cruel policy. The -time for nego- tiation is the time for deliberation and de- lay. But when an extreme case dells for that remedy which is in its -own nature most violent, and which, in such cases, is a remedy only because it is violent, it is idle to think of mitigating and diluting. Lan- guid war can do nothing which negotiation or submission will not do better ; and to act on any other principle is not to save blood and money, but to squander them. Baldheads Healthy. There is one satisfaction that a bald-headed man can have,and that is,that there in -ahead - reds of chances in his favor that be Will never die of consumption. There seemsto be some kind of connection between bald heads and sound lungs. If a man is pre- maturely bald it shows that there is some- thing abnormal with him, but it does not show that there is any trouble with 'his lungs. Indeed, it shows that his lungs are all right.

Stockton is writing 'lime Buccaneers of Our Coast" in St. Nicholas. He says: . Among the buccaneer leaders who -distin- guished themselves at land pirates was Francis L'Olonuois, a Frenchman. In those -days it was the custom to enforce servitude upon people, who were not able to take care of themselves. Unfortunate debtors and paupers of all classes were sold to people who had need of . their services. Boys end girls were Sold for a term of years, somewhat as if they had been ap- prentices and it so happened that the boy L'Olonnois was sold to a master who took him to the West Indies. . There he led the life of a slave until he was of age, and then, being no longer Sub- ject to ownership, hoocame pile of the t freest and most indep ndent persons who ever walked this earthiHo began his ca- reer en theislandof thispaniola, where he took up the business -et hunting and butch- ering cattle, but he scion became. a pirate and enlisted as a common sailor on one of . their ships. Here he gave signs of being so brave and unscrupulous that one of the loading pirates on the, island of Tortuga gave him a ship and crew and set him up in business. The career of ,,L'Olonnois was much like that of !other buccaneers of the day except that be was -abominably cruel to his Spanish milsonerse , All the barbarities attributed to the pirates of the Werld were united in the ca- reer of this wretch, who does not appear to be -so good an example of the true pirate as . Roc, the Brazilian. He was not so brave, he was not so able, and it would be impossible for any one to look. Upon him as a hero. • After having attained -In a short time the reputation of being the wickedest pirate of his day, L'Olonnois was 'unfortunate enough to be wrecked upon the coast near Campeaohy. 'He and his crew came safely to shore, but it was not long before their presence was discov- ered by the people of . the town, and the Spanish soldiers attacked them. There was a fierce fight, but the -Spaniards were stronger, and the buccaneers were utterly defeated. Many were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Among the wounded was L'Olonnois, and when the Spaniards' walked over the battlefield he was looked upon as killed. When the soldiers had retired, he stealthily arose and made his way into the woods, whore he staid until his wounds were well enough for him to walk about. He di- vested himself of hisgreatboots, his.pistol belt mid the rest of his piratical costume, and adding to his scanty raiment a cloak and hat which he had stolen from a poor cottage, ho boldly approached the town and entervd it. He looked like a very or- dinary person, and no notice was taken of him by the authorities. • Hero he found shelter and something to cot, and he soon began to make himself very much at home in the streets of Campeachy. A. Song of Ecstasy. In The Century there is a paper on the ."Songs of American Birds," by John Bur- roughs. Mr. Burroughs says: A very interesting feature of our bird songs Is the wing song or song of ecetasy. It is not the gift of many of our birds. Indeed, less than a dozen species are known to lite as over singing on the wing. It seems to spring from Mere intense ex- citement and self abandonment than the ordinary song. delivered from the perch. When the bird's joy reaches the point of rapture, it is literally carried off its feet, and up it goes into the air, pouring out its song as a rocket pours its sparks. The skylait and the bobolink habitually do this, but a fete others of our birds do it only on owes!t ns. Last summer, up in the Catskills added another name to any list of ecstatiic ingera—that of the vesper sparrow. Several times I heard a new song in the air, and caught a glimpse of the bird as it dropped back to the earth. My attention would beattracted by a suc- cession of hurried, chirping notes, followed by a brief burst of song, then by tho van- ishing form of the bird. One day I was lucky enough to see the bird as it was ris- ing to its climax in the air and identified - It as the vesper sparrow. Tho burst of song that crowned the upward flight of 75 or 100 feet was brief, but it was brilliant and striking and entirely unlike the lei- surely chant of the bird while upon the ground. It suggested a lark, but was less buzzing or humming. I The preliminary chirping notes'uttered faster and faster as the bird mounted in the air, were like the trail of sparks which a xooket emits before its grand burst of color at the top of its Slight.

Not long ago he, engaged a • new stenographer, who was anxious to succeed and nervously desirous of pleasing her employer. It was her firtit situation. After he had summoned her to receive her first dictation, Mr. McKee noticed that his stenographer was somewhat per- turbed. "It's q -quite easy," said the cashier kindly.

Tri bun e. WORKERS OF ANTIQUITY. The Use of the Inclined Plane In the Building of the Pyramids. At -a meeting of the Vidlosophical so- ciety of Washington J. B. Watkins pre- senied a paper 011 "The Transportation and Lifting of ileavy Bodies +y the An- eient,Engineers." The purpose of the pa- per! was to show how many of the struc- tures regarded as remarkable by export engineers of the present day, and which soine atelneologists declare Must have re- quired in their erection the Use of im- mense machines, could- have been con-, strnoted by primitive tools and simple Methods. By means of diagrams the speaker ex- plained how Inclined planes of earth could be used in' placing in position stone blocks or slabs of enormous weight, levels and tTpry bars being employed in setting them up. Bo then demonstrated how easily, comparatively speaking, the pyramids could have been constructed by these sim- ple methods, until when completed the earth around them which had been used for the Inclined planes filled -intd the pits from which it was taken, leaving the ground as level as before. AS an illustration tho pyramid of Gieh was cited, mile of the stones of which were transported a distance of 500 miles. In this case the highest embankment nec- essary when the workmen reached the top course, assuming tho.t a 20 per cent grade was adopted, would have been 750 yards long, containing, as it did, some 7,500,000 cubic yards, provided the sides of the em- bankment would stand at an angle of 30 degrees, which is not at all improbable. A force of 10,000 men could have built such an embankment in a single twelVemonth, a very small part of the tetra labor, which it is stated called for the servicesdf 100,- 000 men for 20 years. In the solution of the problem of put- ting in place huge monoliths it was gested that the modern engineer OW well consider the utilizatioa of !inclined planes before adopting a more 'complex method,—Scionee.
