Yoong girls at this period of life, or their mothers, are earnestly in= viied to write Mrs. Pinldiam for advice ; all such letters are strictly confidential ; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women ; and her advice is freely and cheerfully given. School days are danger days for American gills. Often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover tho lost vitality. Sometimes it is never recovered. Perhaps they are not ' over-careful about keeping their feet dry; through carelessness in this respect the monthly sickness is usuaiiy rendered very severe. Then begin ailments -which should be removed at once, or they Trill produce constant suffering. Headache, faintness, slight vertigo, pains in. the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, a tendency to avoid the society of others, are symptoms all indicating that woman's arch-enemy is at hand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped many a young girl over this critical period. With it they have gone through their trials with courage and safety. With its proper use the young girl is safe from the peculiar dangers of school years and prepared for hearty womanhood. A Young Chicago Girl ??Studied Too Hard." "DEAR MRS. PIXKIIAM:-I wish to thank you for the help and ben efit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and Liver Pills. When I was about seventeen years old I suddenly seemed to lose my Usual good health and vitality. Father said I studied too hard, but the doctor thought different and prescribed tonics, which I took by the quart without relief. Reading one day in the paper ot J: :-?. Pinkham's great cures, and iinding the symptoms described an swered mine, I decided I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I did not say a word to the doctor; ? bought it nryself, and took it according to directions regularly for two months, and I found that I gradually improved, and that all pains left me, and I was my old self once more. - LTLLIE E.

HVQive the name of this paper when writing: to advertlsers-(At. 4-3, '02) Thompson's Eye Watsr MOUNTAIN MADNESS. Why People Continue to Swell the Al pine Death Roll. In the Alpine Club. Saville row, Lon don, carefully preserved in ""glass cases, are some bits of human skulls, splinters of glass bottles that once held refreshments, short lengths of broken alpenstocks, and ragged cloth ing bleached white by the Alpine snows. They tell the melancholy story ot irave men who lost their lives in the interests of science. But the ghastly daily sacrifice that is now going on in the Alps has raised :he question whether the non-scien ific mountaineer, who climbs for the 'pleasure" or excitement of the thing, ir for the vain glory that it brings aim, is not hopelessly insane. "Study the man In the Swiss hotels," orites a correspondent, "and you will ind him as a rule a weird and extra ordinary being. He has a curiously shaped head; his beard is trimmed "antastically or not trimmed at all; ils clothes are an extravangaza. "Talk with him, and what is his :alk? It i.^about mountains and more mountains and more mountains still. His eyas flashes fire, he raves wildly if unknown beauties, of the delights if facing death. "In fact, he betrays all the symp toms that would have stamped him In Lhe mind of Burton as a madman. "There is only one other theory that would seem to explain this rush if inexperienced men to their doom," ldds the correspondent. "Many believe In It, and why should it not be true, for the Alps offer an easy death, untainted by suspicion, and one which is not without romantic Interest to the suicide." The mania for mountaineering, ac cording to a well-known phrenologist, ls due largely to the shape of a man's iiead. It Is a head which Indicates i love of adventure, of overcoming difficulties. "You always find," said this author ity, "that in those who have a love for climbing, the lower part of the forehead ls prominent. This part Is connected with all the observing pow srs, form, size or color and indicate resistance." Any one who is an enthusiast upon Alpine climbing ls, a correspondent declares, suffering from a form of "in sane vanity closely allied to that so often found In criminals. "If," he adds, "the laws could be set In motion all over Europe to prevent the spread of this dangerous disease, by prohibiting the climbing of danger ous mountains, there would be no more useless throwing away of lives In the Alps. "I should like to see the mountain climber (and the English parson is the most dangerous type) put undor restraint, like any other harmless lunatic."-London Express.

THE QUIET MAN I lingered o'er a checker game a night or two ago; The one who played against me seemed to have no ghost of show; ' [ had a bunch of lusty kings that strutted all about ind bullied my opponent's men, who dared not venture out. Way over in a corner shrunk a timid lit tle man TTho staid right in his station ever since the game began. Ie watched my crowned heads marching by with banner and with song, Lnd seemed to be discouraged over stand ing still so long. Jut pretty soon an opening occurred two blocks away, ind not another moment did that little fellow stay, ?e bounded o'er the board and took three kings in one fell swoop, rhen landed in my king-row with a wild, ecstatic whoop. r-y y HE Ca rews had quarrelled. There was no doubt about it. A prolonged fit of "sulks" In dulled lu by Mrs. Carew be cause her husband had forgotten a cer tain commission she had charged bim with had culminated in verbal warfare following the removal ol' the cloth af ter dinner, and this was followed shortly after by the removal of the master of the house. The act had boon prefaced by a statement on Harry's part that if she was going to sulk all the evening be would goout and amuse himself, and then, hardly giving Millie time to get iu a last word Mr. Carew had dashed into the hall, snatched bat and stick and quitted Laburnum Villa, closing the front door behind him with a vigor that shook thc whole house. When perfectly convinced that she lind driven him off the premises. Millie repented with the thoroughness that marked all her actions; she ran into the hall and opened the front door, in thc vague hope that Harry was within calling distance, but there was nothing but darkness to be seen, aud she reluc tantly closed lt again. And Harry had gone out without his great coat-he would catch cold, bo very ill, perhaps die, and she would be responsible; the tears came into ber eyes at this train of thought, and she felt herself the wickedest woman in London. As she stood remorsefully gazing at the garment Harry ought to have been wearing she saw it lacked the top but ton, and remembered during dinner Harry had said something about a but ton coming off his great coat. Millie carried the coat into the dining room and fetched her work basket. The but ton should be put on at once. She laid the coat ou a table for greater conve nience, and as she did so a letter slid out of the Inside breast pocket. Millie picked it up. "Henry Carew7, Esq., Acanthus Club, Earl street, W. C., was the inscription, in a feminine hand, and the postmark was ou that day, and Harry's excuse for forgetting bis commission had been pressure of work at the office; yet he had found time to visit the club. Who was his correspondent? "He certainly ought to tell me; lt ?oesn't look like a business letter," said Millie to herself, and then somehow the letter came out of the envelope. She was on?y looking for the signature, but th.e beading first caught ber eye, and lt was, "My darling Harry." Af ter that it ls needless to say she read the letter. The address was 0, Queen inne Villas, Wellington Road, Kensel Rise. "My darling Harry - Your bracelet ?anie by this morning's post; it's just lovely. But you mustu't be so ex tra v jant. Be sure and come this evening lo be thanked and scolded by your lov ng sweetheart. Doris Forbes." Milly turned very white and held her breath. What did it mean? She looked again nt thc address, at the envelope, examined thc postmarks. There could be no mistake; the letter was genuine, addressed to Harry, received and road by Harry - Harry, who had married her a little over a month ago. Presently she rose to her feet, shak ing with emotion. That was where he bad gone, to see this Doris Forbes; well, she would follow him, expose him to the Innocent girl to whom he was obviously passing as a single man. Sternly repressing a longing to cry, Millie went upstairs and put on her hat and cloak; she would not let herself think of the future, but kept firmly be fore ber the thought of exposing Harry to the girl he was deceiving. With the evidence of his double dealing in lier pocket she came downstairs, and leav ing the great cont still lying ou the table, lacking Its top button, she opened the front door and slipped quietly out of the house. II. The Carews lived in Kilburn, so it was not far to Kensel Rise, and a cab speedily deposited Millie at the gate of No. 0; in response to ber rap a. trim maid opened the door. "Is Mr. Carew here?" asked the wife, trying to speak in an ordinary tone. "Ko, ma'am, he's not." The servant turned and addressed, a young lady who was descending the stairs: "A ludy, Miss Doris, asking for Mr. Ca rew; are you expecting him this even ing?" T,be girl came forward and glanced, curiously nt the visitor. Millie noted she was slim and pretty, with fair hair and delicate features. "Mr. Carew may come here this evening," said Miss Forbes, courteously; "did you want to see bim?" "You will do," muttered Mrs. Carew hoarsely, and without asking permis sion stepped into the hall. The servant had retired, and the two women faced each other under the ornamental gas bracket. "I must have a few words with you," said Millie. Miss Forbes, without answering, led tho way into an empty sitting room, then coldly addressed the visitor. "What have you to say to me?" "Are you engaged to Mr. Carew?" burst out Millie. The girl flushed hotly. "Yes, but who are you, and why do you ask?" "Because I have every right to ask. Because he is deceiving you. Because he is my husband." "Your husband!" Doris stared at the strange young lady who made this astounding statement. "Oh, no! you must be mistaken." Millie thrust the letter before the other's eyes. "You know your own letter, don't you? Well, I found it half an hour ago in my husband's great coat pocket." "There must be some mistake. Have you got the envelope?" "Henry Carew, of the Acanthus Club, ls my husband; ho married me a little over a month ago," replied Millie, pro ducing the envelope. "I can't'believe it," said Doris, slow IN THE CORNER. You've known these quiet fellows that just sat around and thought And never made a" noise while the others raged and fought; The whole community had come to think of them as dead, Or else go very near it that their hope of fame had fled. The chaps with recognition for their por tion pose and strut, And seem to overlook the man who keeps his talker shut. But some day, when 'most every one ia looking t'other way, This quiet fellow 6ees a chance to break into the play. He reaches out and grabs things that the others had ignored; He puts into the life-game all the energy he'd stored Through all the years of silence. So you'd better not forget The still man in the corner, for he'll reach thc king-row yet! -S. W. Gillilan, in Los Angeles Herald. [ ly, bat sho had grown very pale; "it seems so impossible-and yet-" A knock at the front door interrupted ber. "That will bc he," she cried eag erly; "now we can have this cleared." She opened the door. "Jane, if that's Mr. Carew, show him In here." Very faintly through thc closed door the two women heard thc footsteps of some ono in the hall. Mrs. Carew stood bj- th? corner of the table mo tionless, but Doris, in a fever of anx iety, moved restlessly to and fro. Thc moments seemed to drag, thc delny to be endless, but really only a couple of minutes bad passed before the door opened again, and the maid's voice an nounced "Mr. Carew." A young man strode in. "Doris!" he cried, as he caine toward Miss Forbes with outstretched hand and a smile on his face, but she just touched the ex tended lingers and indicated -Millie. "Do you know this lady V she asked. The young man announced as Mr. and Mrs. Carew looked at one another across the table, "I have not, to my kuowledge, that pleasure," he said po litely, and then stared with amaze ment at the relief on his betrothed's face and the lx?wilderment on that of the strange la dj'. "I knew ii!" cried Doris with heart felt relief. "She said-she must be crazy-that you were her husband." "I her husband!" "Is this your Henry Carew?" Millie finally found voice to say to Doris. Yes, of course it is! Now will you kindly explain what you mean by say ing he married you a month ago?" "I never saw this gentleman before in my life. I said I was married to Henry Carew; in my husband's pocket this evening I found tho letter I showed you just now." / In fact, except being about the same height, there was not the smallest re semblance between the visitor and Mil lie's husband. "Ah, the letter!" cried Doris; "that's what so bewildered me." She turned to her Harry. "Where is the letter I wrote you by thc first post this morn ing, addressed to your club, which you ought to have received?" "I did receive It; at 2 o'clock to-day, when I wont to the Acanthus for luncheon. "I have lt now,"-he dived into his breast pocket of his great coat -'why, no! it's gone."-"f "How did it get into my husband's coat?" demanded Millie; "that's where I found it." Henry Carew the second took the let ter and envelope Mrs. Carew produced and gazed -wonderingly at them. "This is positively uncanny!" he stated. "Has the coat been out of your pos session ?" asked Doris, as he seemed unable to give any explanation. "Let rae think. I read the letter in the vestibule and put it in the breast pocket of my overcoat. I hung the coat on a peg in thc luncheon room while I lunched. Then I put it on and went out. No, I didn't. I had half an hour to spare, and had a game of billiards find gave the coat to a waiter, and he brought it to me when I finished, and I put it on and went out. Ah! Is your husband a Henry Carew?" inquired the young man of Milli?. "Of course," said Mrs. Carew, impa tiently, "or all this trouble wouldn't have arisen." "Then I believe I know who youl husband is," was the^riuinphat reply. Millie, who in her bewilderment, was beginning to wonder whether the ex istence of her Harry was not imagina tion on her part, gave him all her at tention, and Doris began to think bel supposition that her visitor was crazy might lie incorrect. "He's Paul Carew, the junior part ner of Stephens & Co., the wool brok ers?" asked the j'.ouug man. "Yes, yes," cried Mrs. Carew, eag erly, and in her excitement ungram matically added, like the monks when they spotted the thieving jackdaw, "that's him!" "But still," continued Miss Forbes's Harry, speaking more to himself than to his eager audience, "that doesn't ex plain how he got-why, I don't believe this Is my coat!" Ho was feeling in the pockets of his overcoat with a puzzled expression and looking at a season ticket pass drawn from thc ticket pocket. "That's Harry's ticket! You've go? on his coat," cried Millie, a ray of llghi illuminating the puzzle, "and he's gol yours-but they're exactly alike." "Of course they are," said Harry Ca rew; "Harry and I patronize the sani( tailor. He must have been at the clut to-day, though I. didn't see him, and the waiter mixed up our coats." "You know my husband?" "I should think I do. Why, we'r< first cousins, and. have been greal chums till a year ago, when we quar reled over some trifling matter, and haven't spoken since. I heard he re cently married. Hasn't he never told you of his cousin Harry Carew? Fancj that!" "Well, Harry," said Doris, "you'v< never told me you had a cousin of tb?. same name as yourself." "Haven't I? That's just how we'vt j drifted apart. I must make it up with ' Harry; I'm Harry Solus, he's Hcnrj 1 Paul Carew. Now, is everything cleai; to you two ladles, and are the charac I tera of Harry and Harry Paul cleared?' And both the matron and the male j declared the two Harry Carews wer< completely vindicated. Harry went home with his rclatioi by marriage to fetch his own overcoat and return his cousin's, and then left with a message to his old chum tba; ' he would call on him on the morrow nt his office and "make up" their quar rel, and presently Mr. Carew returnee and Millie made full confession of al' that had happened since his departure So. the moral of it is, never judge bj circumstantial evidence. - New Yorl News - J BERSEEM FOR FARMERS. A New Word Here, and the New Thin lt Denotes Comes From Egypt. Berseem is to be brought to the Uni ted States to help out in the National Irrigation scheme. No doubt not one reader in a thousand will know wheth er berseem is something from the ln Bide of a pyramid or an element of beeswax. The United States Govern ment has just issued a booklet about lt written by David G. Fairchild, who ls described in the big Blue Book as "Permanent Agricultural Explorer, Di vision of Seed and Plant Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture." Surely berseem must be very important or this dis tinguished explorer would not have taken the time to write a book about lt and illustrate it with fine photogra vures. When land has had no rain for cen turies a saity deposit gathers near the surface. The scientist knows ex actly why this is so, but lt is hardly worth while to explain. When these arid lands are covered with water the first result is the formation of a salty crust. This plays havoc with the in tentions of the agriculturist. He tries to get rid of this salty deposit by deep tilling, but this will not always work. When the department determined that this salty crust was one of tho im portant handicaps of the irrigation schemes, it undertook to find a plant which would neutralize these salty de posits. This was the quest of David G. Fairchild, and he reports that he found in berseem, the fodder and soil ing plant or Egypt. Trifolium Alexa- | drinum. just the thing for a rotating crop for irrigated land. Not only will berseem be useful in eating the salts which hamper the ir rigation agriculturist, but it furnishes the manure to enrich the soil. Amer ica here gets another important lesson from the Egyptian. The fellahin (farm laborer) have for centuries used the manure of the stables for fuel". Girls are employed to mix it with earth and# the dried cakes are burned. In fact, it is the principal fuel. The soil, deprived of its natural enrichment, would deteriorate were it not for tho wonderful properties of the fodder crop. The keenest modern agricul turists of thc Nile Valley report that without this wonderful plant the soil would soon become so weak, despite the deposit of silt from the overflow ing waters, that it would become worthless. The silt is almost devoid nf the necessary nitrogenous matter. The berseem also keeps down the weeds. The report of Mr. Fairchild says: "Nothing among thc varied agricul tural sights which interest the tourist In Egypt is so interesting as the cul ture, harvest and marketing of this green fodder crop. Every coachman has a bunch of berseem or a bag of it under his feet, with which he feeds his boise at the cabstand. Every drayman hos on top of his load a bag of it for his horses or bullocks, and the donkey boys carry a bag of lt for their much-abused jeasts. In the early morning the avenues leading to Cairo are lined with long files of cam els and donkeys bearing the green for age. About its culture all other agri cultural crops are arranged." The plant resembles clover and the stems are very succulent, in every way more delicate than clover or alfalfa, and it ls eaten not only by domestic ?nimalsTbut by the farm laborer.-CHT" cinnati Commercial Tribune.
