? Miss Agnes Millerrof Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period ? how to avoid pain and suffering and remove the cause by using Lydta E? Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, 44 To Touho Women: ? I suffered for six years "with dysmenor rhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded evexy month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Plnkhara's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month Inter. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and 1 feel light and happy." ? Miss Agnes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, 111. The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. ' Anything unusual at that time should have prompt sad proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Uydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men struation and makes those periods painless. READ WHAT MISS LINllBECK SAYSx "Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: ? Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has greatly bene fitted me. I will tell you how I suffered. My ( trouble was painful menstruation. 1 felt as each month' went by that I was getting worse.

"They that go down to the sea In ibiiw," as a role, meet their fate un heralded; the clamor that public rec ognition casts ?Ter the hero Is not for them. A story of suffering, courage, and en durance that speaks well for eTery day manhood and womanhood lies be hind this little four-line item that ap peared in the daily papers one day last week from Salinls: "March 9.? Jacob Langtin. a farm er living near Kailer's Point, hsd a narrow escape from a devilfish while fishing off the coast yesterday." Jacob Langtin and his wife. Susan, cultivate a small piece of land on the south side of a little point that sticks out Into the Pacific Ocean below Mon terey Bay, known as Kailer's Point. A good-isezed creek runs by one side of their land, aud here Jacib has a boat landing and several boats, for when the occasion fits he loves to fieb off shore. It is bis one amusement. For thirty years, as boy and man. Jacob Langtin followed the sea. and now. well past his prime, he has set tled down on the little spot of earth he calls home with b!s wife to gpend the remainder of his days in sunshine, and within hearing distance of the roll of tbe surf. It was about a week ago that, return ng one afternoon from a fishing trip, he met tbe accident that turned his iron gray hair a shade lighter and still makes sleep a threatening nightmare to his wife. Langtin bad spent tbe afternoon fish ing off shore and was slowly rowing in toward tbe little lagoon where be us ually ties up bis boat after such trips. He was within a couple of hundred yards of tbe shore when, happening to glance around to take bis bearings, he noticed a bunch of tangled drift almost on his bow. He gave one oar a twist to drive his boat closer to it. Like all shore dwellers, his eye roved over it to see If it contained wreckage of any value. As bis boat swished alongside he gave it a poke with an oar to stir up tlie flotsam. Ilis eye was on a large-sized box jammed in between two pieces of piles. He gave it a poke with his oar to see whether it was fast aud tilled or empty. The oar glanced on the side of the box and struck a round, smooth tning that looked like a burnished piece of tire liose. The thing moved; a sharp ugly looking beak reared itself out of tbe ocean and two wicked round glazed eyes stared at Langtin over tbe side of tbe boat. What horror was this? In all bis seafaring experience Langtin had nev er seen the like, and it was not until a long snake-like tentacle flashed up and fell lienvily across the l>oat that be realized tl at be was fairly in the grasp of tbe dreaded devilfish. In its rsge the octopus swayed the boat In the clutch of its powerful tentacle. It required no effort of the Imagination for Langtin to foresee his end should he once be brought within reach of that powerful beak. He stooped and grasped a hatchet that lay near him in the stern of the boat. Stepping cautiously but swiftly forward, he struck a savage blow at the only tentacle yet within reach. The tough muscles yielded like rubber un der the axe. He knew that this was but one of but seven or eight arms, and despair almost overpowered him. Again and again he struck, each time severing picces of the terrible arm that was trying to overturn the boat and drag it down. The tentncle began to weaken, but while he was yet hack ing at it another shot out cf the wa ter and fell heavily across the boat; another followed It. All this time he was dimly conscious of his ;.vife running up and down the beach, crying frenziedly for help. She could see plainly the struggle that was going on. and knew that something terrible was happening, without at all comprehending what monster It was that had her husband in its grasp. In her agony iip waded out waist deep into the water. The sun was turning to a red globe of fire in the west, but it had lost its heat. Langtiu now says that in this terri ble situation his mind took in the min utest details of the scene around him. the green of the hills, the trees stirred by the light breezes, the red sinking sun. the sheen of the light upon the water, the calmly neaving ocean, and his frenzied wife upon the beach. There was no help anywhere, and his heart swelled in rage against the cold helplessness around him. If he was to be saved it must be by his own strength and his own cour age. He had never prayed and he did not know how. By this time the terrible monster had two of its great arms around the un fortunate man; one wrapped around his legs and one around his body. Langtln was clinging to the seat with one arm and the other hand be was hacking at the death-gripping arms of the devilfish, especially where they lay across the thwarts and offered him th<* chance of a solid blow. As tjhe creature seemed about to lift Its repulsive body over the side of the boat, Langtin found a chance to strike it a heavy blow between the eyes. It gave baeto slightly, but still maintained the hold of its tentacles. Not only that, but another rose, wav ing in the air, and circled his waist. The tentacles that now swept around his body and ?ecmcd to be crushing the very life out of him had no further power to- daunt him He seized the repulsive, slimy thing with one hand and sank with it to the bottom of the boat. With two powerful blows where It bent across the thwart ho severed it from the creature's body. A few more blows were needed to sever the remaining tentacles, and the great devilfish, with inarticulate noises, slid off into the water, leaving an inky trail behind It. It was none too soon. With tb? last W?r taigiti nil t* bU knees ex haunted with the nervous ?train. For a minute his' wife had stood waist deep In the water watching, with fast-beating heart the terrible struggle taking place Id the little row boat. She had entered the water with a half-defined Idea of wading or swim mlng oat to the assistance of her hue baud, so terrible was the agony of her own inaction and helplessness. A ha If -conscious gesture of her* has band had stayed the rash set. -nd had brought her to her senses. She hesi tated but a momoent to eollcct her scattered wits. Then she hastened toward a skiff tied to the Wharf. At first her tremb ling limbs would scarce cupport her but as she ran she gsthered strength. Under ordinary circumstances the skill was too heary for her to launch frotr where it lay on the beach. Vet no* she managed to get the boat into the water. Terror fare her strength, and some way she mansged to work th? boat In the direction of her husbaud Luckily, he was not more than 40C feet away. The light was over bcfor< she reached the contestants, hut het aid In reviving the exhausted man war more than timely It will be many long days before either fully recovers from the effect? of that terrible fight. Langtin rays he -wouldn't go through the experience again fov all the land in the country. His wife declares s-hf still wakens from her sleep and the fearful dream that the terrible devil fish is reaching another great arm out of the sea to grasp her husbaud. HUNTING OCEAN VAMPIRES. Monster Somctlnr* Kon?t>. the 5o!?w' UtcomM the Hunter. With the possible exception of the basking shark, the "Sea Devil*' or "Occan Vampire" is the largest of ail the monsters of the deep. An unborn ocean vampire, taken from the mother, preserved at the British Museum, if five feet iong. and before mounting weighed twenty pounds. The mothei measured some fifteen feet in length and quite as much in breadth. It is at all times a dangerous under taking to attempt to capture one of these monsters, says the Sunday Maga zine, but particularly so in the case of a mother accompanied by her off spring. She is quite capable of re versing the role of hunter and hunted attacking and capsizing the boat con taining her would-be captors, and of seeing that none of them escapes alive. "Imagine," writes the Hon. William Elliot. In describing the exciting sport he had in bunting ocean vampires, "a monster from sixteen to twenty feet across the back, full three feet in depth, possessed of powerful yet Ilex Ible flaps or wings, with which he drives himself furiously in the water j or vaults high in the air. through which he skims like some enormous bird; his feelers (commonly called horns) pro jecting several feet beyond his mouth, and paddling ail the small fry that constitute his food into that capacious receptacle? and you will have an idea, though an imperfect one, of this ex traordinary fish." The so-called "horns" to which allu sion is made are a singular feature in this animal. The pectoral or breast fins, much elongated, pointed, arched in front, concave behind, stop short at the head, to reappear as frontal ap pendages projected on each side of the head. These appendages take the form and character of limbs, being flexible and capable of grasping prey and car rying it to the mouth. The "feelers." as they are called, are sometimes three feet or more In length, and are curious ly articulated at the ends so as to re semble the fingers of the human hand when clenched. In this way fishing boats and vessels of a much larger size have been dragged from their moorings and In some cases capsized by the ocean vam pire's having laitl hold of the anchor. An instance of this kind occurred in the harbor of Charleston, A schooner ly ing at anchor, suddenly and seemingly of its own volition, to the amazement and alarm of those on board, started at a furious rate across the harbor. Upon Hearing the opposite bank its course changed so abruptly as almost to cup size the vessel, and it recrossed the harbor to its former moorings. These mysterious flights across the harbor were repeated a number of times in the presence of hundreds of astonished spectators, who were ut terly at a loss to account for the phe nomenon. The migrations ceased as suddenly as they began. Not till then did the back and undulating flukes of an immense ocean vampire, appearing above the water of the harbor, dis close the motive power that caused it all. One of the curious habits of the fish is to throw somersaults, sometimes at a considerable distance beneath the surface, sometimes at the surface, and sometimes in the air above the surface. The reason for this peculiar practice, which is kept up for hours, has. so far as the writer knows, never been con jectured. At times the great flsh will throw himself bodily perhaps as much as ten or twelve feet into the nir. A young man student of Columbia Uni versity. writing from Tort of Spain, de scribes the flight of one of these sea monsters, which passed completely over him and the light boat he was rowing. Bedroom* In Tr?ri, A remarkable hotel is in California, on the road between Santa Cruz and San Jose. California possesses the largest trees in the world, and a shrewd hotelkeeper hns conceived the Idea of utilizing as a wayside hostelry a group of these mammoths, thus sav ing himself the cost of building or rent. The hollow trunk of one tree, whose circumference Is about twenty-two yards, is arranged as a reception room, and the surrounding space, sheltered by a thick roof of spreading branches, serves as dining room and smoking room. A number of other smaller hollow trunks muke comfortable bed rooms, furnished in the most approved style, and some trees at a little distance arc occupied by the hotel staff. Windfall For the State. The State ol Minnesota Is enriched to the extent of $10,000 by the recent death of Mrs. Pureheart Wakeley, of Sharon, aged 111 years, who left no heirs. She had lived alovs for many vsara. TH? English statute mile was first defined Id the thirty-fifth year of Queen Elisabeth. Before that time it was put down at five thousand feet. The consistory of Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, has made the announce ment that the old custom of smokiug in church will no longer be tolerated. The Austrian Emperor is the greatest ' of royal sportsmen. Between 185G and 1S97 he killed 1243 deer and 730 chamois, besides tbousauds of head of other game. An iron cable which is claimed to be the largest in the world, has been finished at Lebanon. Pu. it is more than a mile loug. and each link weighs ninety-three pounds. The fence about the Fort Belknap Indian reservation in Montana, which is forty miles wide and sixty mile? long, has beeu finished. It probably ii? the longest fence in the world and lias taken years In building. The plan if to protect* the flocks of herds of the Uros Ventres and Assinlhoines from intrusion, as well as to keep them from straying. A pianist has to cultivate the eye so as to see fifteen hundred sigus in one minute, the fingers to make two thousand movements, and the brain to understand all these signs, as well as direct all these movements. In play ing Weber's "Moto Perpetuo"' a pianist has to read 4541 notes In less than four minutes, or about nineteen a second, but the ej*e can recievc only about ten consecutive impressions a second. So that in quick music it seems that a player does not see every note singly, but in groups, probably a bar or more at one view. THE DEATH SENTENCE IN ENGLAND Bo* Th?jr Mailn It Art n* a IMfirrnt in (hr Good Old Uvyr. The present agitation in England to abolish the pronouncing of t lif* death sentence in eases whore it is patent that capital punishment will not follow will probably meet with the approval of most people who desire that the law should lose nothing of its dignity and at the same time have nothing of unnecessary horror added. The Lord Chancellor pleads for -the retention of the form, saying that the passing of the death sentence will act as a deterrent. James I. juggled with death sentences In this manner and got himself rather badly disliked for it. Over the plot in which Raleigh. Cohham. (I rev and oth ers were implicated he had the less puissant ones put to dentil and very "bloodily handled." Cohluim's brother was beheaded "like a gentleman." The Bishop of Chichester, with the blood of the latter still u|ioii him. went then to 1/ord Cohham. Him the Bishop ex horted to confession. Other prelates were similarly engaged with Sir Wal ter Raleigh and Lord Grey. Meantime Markham, another of the conspirators, had been placed upon the scaffold and was about to bow his head to the axe when the Sheriff was called away by a Scotch hireling, and the prisoner left to contemplate the axe for an hour. Then he was led away and told to pre pare for death at the end of two hours. Grey's turn was next. He prayed half an hour before the block, then rais.-d himself to die? and was led away, the King sending word that the order of execution had been changed. So forth came Coblmm, and having made his last declaration, prepared to lake fare well of the world, when the Sheriff stayed the execution, and brought forth Markham and Grey? all three thinking that the other two had been executed. They were told, after hav ing suffered the agony of all but death itself, that their lives would be spared. Raleigh's experience wns similar. That was how they used to make death sen- | truces act as a "deterrent" in the good ] old days. There would be danger for those who ?trled a repetition to day.? St. James' Gazette.

Not even William Shakespeare would know what to get. or how to put it without some training nt reporting. To be sure he might get better things and put them In immortal English, but his copy would r.ot "get by the desk." For this thing reporting is a business involving considerable specialized knowledge, to be learned by experi ments and mistakes, like every other Job, and there's considerable toil and moil and drudgery nt the bottom.
