It is one of women's chief charms. No one cares for ono who really lacks this essential to womanliness. Women have suffered fearfully because of over-sensitive ness in this direc tion. They could n't say to the phy sician what they ought to *ay to someone. Mrs. Pinkham has re ceived the con fidenc J of thou sands, fomen open 'theirhearts to her. She understands their suffering, and has the power to relieve and cure. In nearly all cases thc source of women's suffering is in the womb. In many cases the ;^ale physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption-indigestion -anything but tho right thing. It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned tc Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and opened their heart and lives-woman, to woman-and received her help. You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot ? Because no man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast expe: ience. Displacement, inflammation, torpid action, stagnation, sends to all parts of the body the pains that crush you. Lydia E. Pinkhani's "Vegetable Compound "' is the sure cure for this trouble.

I inquired ^"\?AA^ of Miss Windram so GT"**-? A j?) soon as I succeeded in elbowing my way through the dead wall of Mrs. Bennett Wyse's guests who stood between us. The result ot a brief calculation, entered on the next morning, was to convince me that, during the six minutes it took me playing the part of a pick, in or der to reach Miss Windram, I made as many enemies as I had made during the thirty years of my life preceding Mrs. Bennett Wyse's "At Home." '..Have I avoided you, Mr. Glyn !" she asked, opening her eyes very wide and (bul this was doubtful) very in nocently. 'The question is not if you have done it, but why you have done it," I said with som--) measure of severity. "Supposa I deny that that is the question?" abe suggested quite pleas antly, though without quite such a show of innocence as had been asso ciated with her previous inquiry. It is quite possible to speak pleasantly without any particular exuberance of innocence. "Supposa you deny it? Well, in that case you will hare-hive deniu.l it," said I. "But it so happens that yon won't deny it, Miss Wiudram." "I'm not so sure of that. If any one would make it worth my whilo ? might." "Xo one will make it worth your while. There is nothing left tor yon but to speak the truth." "Great hoavens! It is come to that?" "Why have you avoided me? We wero good friends up to that day-I have put a bine mark opposite that day in my diary." "Yes, wo were good friends; good' friends are those who have a soand quarrel every time they meet, I sup pose?" "Precisely; friends whose friend ship is strong enough to eurvive a quarrel." "Did we quarrel that day?" "We ceitn'nly did not. Where would societv aa if a in au and a young woman quarrelled because, whrn he asked her-" "Is there any need for you to tell every ona in this stifling room what ? one problematical I j foolish young mau asked a certainly idiotic young wo man?" I felt that there was something in her question. I had not, however, been speaking louder than usual ; it only seemed so because of a sudden .momentary diminution in the volume of soand proceeding from tho 20.1 guests of Mrs.. Bennett Wyee, who had all been speaking at the same moment. I tried to explain this to her; and then she asked me what I thought of the Signora Duse as an interpreter of emotion as compare! with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, and ii I held, that an actress who was an admirable expo nent of tho strongest emotions might be depended on to interpret the most powerful passions. "It is a nice question," I felt bound to say. "Let us clear ont from thia ruck and I think I'll be able to tell you all that I know regarding the higher emotions. These people are not to bo depended on ; ono min ute they are talking fortissimo; tho next they are pianissimo." "Would von have them rehearsed, Mr. Glyn?" i "Welt, a good deal mighi be done by judicious stage management." "And a conductor with an ivory -j baton? There's something in that, I admit. Your idea is that they should become forte when you are speaking, so as to afford a eort of background for your wisdom." "Wisdom? What man with thc least pretence to wisdom would come into a crowd like this for the sake of talking to a girl who has persistently avoided him for tho past year and a month?" "What man indeed?" "And this tringa us back to the original question. Why have you so persistently avoided me !" ? could see that she was a trifle put oat by my persistence in returning to tho topio which ha 1 originated with me. She had apparently found some imperfection in the feather tips of ber fan, and thought that it would be un wise to neglect the opportunity of ding off all the uneven, fluffs. Some of them settled upon my waist coat, where 1 allowed them to repose undisturbed, a few made a beeline for the caverous nostrils of our neighbor. General Firebrace. He sneezed with considerable force of character. "Well, you see, so many things have happened since May the third last i year, Mr. Glvn," said Miss Windram, when ehe had satisfied herself by tho repeated opening and closing of her zan that she had remedied tho defect in its construction. "What things-in addition to ^our avoidance of me?" I asked. "Well, you have published a book to begin with. Isn't that something?" ? she said. "If wc avoid all the people who have published a book our circle of acquaintance would become appreci ably narrowed, Miss Windram. Any thing else?" i '"Hasn't it gone into six editious?" I she cried in a tone of accusation. "I don't deserve the blame for j that," taid I, in a way that was meant j to 6how her that I felt the injustice o? | her accusation. "Blame the public, if ven wish. Tho public are invari-1 ably idiotic, the editor of the Universe announced in connection with that book of mine. Ho was right, though the fact that the public steadily re fused to buy tho Universe points in the other direction." "Oh, it's ail very well to try and throw tho blame on the public," said Miss Windram with a shrug, "but is that quite generous of von, Mr. Glyn?" 'Terhaps it isn't. Was it on ac count of the book vou avoided me so carefully?" "Oh, there were other things. Th-; Geographical Society gave you a gold medal, didn't thoy?" "They were right there. The. couldn't get out of it." "I dare say. That may be all very well, but people who get gold medals conferred on them can't expect to be treated as ordinary people?" "I suppose yon are right. But do they expect to be treated as ordinary people?" 'That's qnite a side issue. I de cline to dieeuss it." "And that's all?" "All? all? Heavens 1 what did you expect?" "Sense-that is, a moderate amount of sense; reason-that is, a modicum of reason ; frankness, that is, a soup con of frankness. Supper? Oh, let them go to-to supper." And she let them. We were left practically alone. "Are you engaged to any man for 6upper?" I asked of M?SB Windram. "Xes,"ehe replied. I believed that I detected a monrnfel tone. If I had not detected that note I would have left her side. I did not leave her side. "And I am engaged to somo wo man. Lot us go to some plaoa togeth er," said I. The reasonableness of the sugges tion-that is, the modicum of reason ableness-seemed to strike her.

The light was very dim. A fountain dished under^tho electric lamp in thc distance. "fell me all," I said. Thal; was how it commenoed. I saw that she was very pale; and I had felt her hand trembling as it rested on ni; sleeve a minute before. I perceived that ehe fancied I had led her hither to tell her something, and I was anx ious to reassure her. It was I who wanted to be told something. "All?" said she. "Ad," said I. "It was mamma," Bhe said quito meekly. "I guessed as mn?h. And that is all?" "Isn't it enough? You're a man. You know her." "Ah-now." "Now. ] Baitl now. But a year ago-" "And a month?" "And a month. If you hadu't re mombered the exact date I should probably be at supper now. A year and a month ugo Bhe was my one en emy. She knew that I loved you yes, a year and u month ago lloved you iu a sort of way-not the way I do now ; and she knew that you loved me-in a eort of way. She com manded you to keep me at a distance. Yonr mother ia not a woman of gen ius, but upon occasions she can bo quite as disagreeable as though Bhe were. She prefers, however, being disagreeable by deputy. Yon were her deputy, a year ago-and a* month." Miss Windram got up from- beside me and took a few steps to tho side of the conseivatory. up which a splendid rose wa3 clambering. She had her eyes fixed on a spray. It would-have been out of the reach of most girls, but she was very tall, and she man aged to break it off the parent stem. She returned to her seat. "Well?" she said. "Then my poor uncle--" "Poor?" She gave a laugh. "My poor rich uncle died, leaving his money to me, and your mother told you that you were to draw me on. I could swear that those were her ex act words. Did you pluck those rosei only to tear off their petals?" One rose lay wrcoked at her feet. The other dropped from her hand and lay complete among the crimson flakes. Sho put her hands beforo her face.

You have failed in your aim, Rosamund; you did not make rae believe in your sin cerity. Was I right?" I am certain she gave a sob ; but she did not take her bands down from her face. "Look at your feet," I said sudden ly. She was startled, and glanced down quickly. (Her gloves, I per ceived, were ruined). "Look at your feet. Which is to be my future-our future-our future, Rosamund: Which? The wrecked rose or the othtr?" She picked up the completo rose and handed it to me.

MICHIGAN'S AMBITIOUS WOMBS. In Michigan, two towns, Deoatui ano. Marcellus, seem to be under fem inine control. In the former town, with a population of 1500, all the town officers are said to be women. The leading physician of tho town is a woman ; ono of tho most popular pas tora is a woman. Two women conduct the principal restaurant. The pro prietor of the largest dry goods stofe is a woman ; ono of the best shoemak ers is a womon, and there are women painters, harnessmakers, florists and brokers. The postmaster of the town is also a woman. The women karo shut up the saloons of the town. BEASON FOlt ABANDONING COSSET?. Science has found still another rea ?on why women should abandon cor sets. It affects, however, only those of the fair sex who thirst for the higher education. At a certain young women's college it wa3 noticed that the delicate electrical instruments un derwent sudden and extraordinary changes. Every once in a while, when a girl came up to explain what she had learned about volts, ohm?, and tho like, galvanometers would gyrate wildly and the needles in the various dials would swerve in a most unaccountable manner. Finally the profe sor discovered where the trouble lay. It was tho steel in the gin's corsets, and the faculty there upon passed a law debarring.all cor seted girls from the electrical depart ment. At first the girls tried to evade Ihe iule by tho utterance of mild tarradiddles. But the inexora ble professor circumvented them by making the o\ssi>, as it entered, pass in single file beside a delicate galvano meter. Thc instructor stood beside it in apparent unconcern, but the itf strument "spotted" every steel-cor seted girl with unerring Skill. Ono lecturo under the conditions* was enough, and the girls have nil gone in for hygienic waists or dress reform, Argonaut. CTCTJXO FOB WOMEN. In an artiole in the Nineteenth Cen* toy entitled "A Medical View of Cy cling for Ladies," the author, Dr. W. H. Fenton, indorses the exercise, as serting that it has done more to im prove the health of women than almost anything that.has ever been invented. "Let it at once ho said, an organi cally sound woman can cycle with as much impunity as a man. Thank heaven, wo know now that this is not one more of the sexual problems of.tho day. Sex has nothing'to do with it, beyond the adaptation of machino to dress and dress to tho machine. Wo* men are capable of great physical im provement where thu opportunity ex ists. Dress t ven now heavily handi caps them. How fatiguing and dan gerous were heavy ' petticoats and flowing skirts in. cycling even a few yeart ago the plucky pioneers alone can tell us. "Jmajppropriato dress has acextaia-. number of chills to account for. When fair practice has been made, and the 'hot stage,' so to speak, is over, tho feet, ankles, neck and arms get very cold when working up against wind. Gaiters or spats, high collars and close-fitting sleeves meet this diffi culty. Summer or winter, it is far safer to ~ear warm, absorbent under clothing and avoid cotton. "The diseases of women take a front placo in our social life ; bert, if looked into, ninety per cent, of them are functional ailments, begotten of enui and lack of opportunity of , some means of working off their superflous muscular, nervous and organic en ergy. The effect of cycling within the physical capacity of a woman acts like u charm for gout, rheumatism and indigestion. Sleeplessness, eo-called 'nerves' and all those petty miseries for which the liver is BO often made the scapegoat, disappear in the most extraordinary way with tho fresh air inhaled, and with the tissue destruc tion and reconstruction effectci by exercise and exhilaration. .The large abdominal muscles do little iu riding down hill or on level ground, but in hill climbing great strain is thrown upon them. There are many reasons why women should not overtax this group. Already thousands of women qualifying for generf.l invalidism have been rescued by cycling. Women aro very subject to varicose veins in the logs. Cycling often rids them of this trouble. A girl who has to stand for hours and hours serving behind a counter gets relief untold from an evening spin on her'bike.' Her circulation has been improved, and the a"hes and pains which would have ebort ly made an old woman of her have gone und a sense of exhilaration and relief has taken their place." FASHION NOTES. The belt slightly pointed iront a? 1 baokgivesa very much better figun. than the perfectly round one. There was a obie little oap, beretta shaped, made of tho plaid goods, with a twist of brown velvet and a quill, that goes with a grlf costume. It must be more comfortable than the regulation alpine, that looks so per fectly absurd when tilted back from the forehead. Tho most popular bathing costume this season is made of black or white serge or mohair, with full skirt and knickerbockers, a fitted belt round waist with a deeply pointed yoke, full sleeves that barely reach tho elbows, black stockings, and an oilskin cap covered with black or Tartan surah. For visiting and similar occasions pale green straw is made into a high, narrow crown with very wide brim, which is veiled in white tulle, oaught ap on one side with a big rosette and three nodding black plumes. On thc other side ia a knot of lilies and a big bunch of the same rest upon the hair, underneath the brim, at tho back. Just in front aro two large crushed pink roses that look as if they had fallen into place. Never was lace so profusely used or so varied in] design. From narrow guipure insertions to wide flouncings in cream, ecru and butter color is it to be seen on every artiole of fashion able dress.

When the Alaska steamers are get ting tow?rd Sitka they go through t passageway known as Finlanson's Cana), and if they happen to pass a certain point ia the daytime a most aaasiial-looking monntaia caa be seen, lt has been named tho "Bell-shaped Mountain," and a moro appropriate cognomen could not be found. This peak, which has always been one of the sights for tourists, occupies a most unusual position. It is direct ly in the centre of tho channel, aud when' tho steamer is geing northward reems to block further progress. For several miles before tho mountain is reached thc passageway is not any too wide, and tho steep mountains como close to tho water's edge on both sides. They seem to joia the. lower portion of tho bell-shaped mountains and form ah impassable barrier across the road way. Aa the Bteamcr-via-holding -dircoily for the mountain it shows to the best advantage. Rising abiuptly'from the minor liko surface of tho water, it rears its head about 1000 feqt toward the sky aud reveals the most perfect symmetry ia its outlia?s. Tho sides slope inward, nul oa the top there is a little kooli, tho whole combination forming- a perfect bell. If the mountain is seen in the early morning, when tho steamer is about five miles away, it will appear sil houetted against the sky. The edges look clean and sharp cut, and it is hard to believe that it is not tho work of human hinds. It really looks like a monster bell placed in the channel, The sides of this mountain are cov ered with a thick growth of pine trees, and as tho steamer draws nearer it loses some of its peculiar appearance. The vessel keeps head on as if to run it down, bat when quite close makes a sharp tufa to port and passes through a chancel so narrow that it is possible fo throw a stono on the mountain from tho deck. The mountain is much longer than wide, and does not look tho least like a bell as soon as the steamer has passed eo th it it can bc seen over the stern.-San Francisco Sun. Marr?is te thc Natives.

"They came to tell me," writes the traveler, "that the water they had left in their cooking-pots was all bo witched. They said it was white, aud would not 6hake; the adventurous Fundi had even hit it with a stick, which would not go in. They begged me to look at it, and I told them to bring it to me. They declined, bow er- r, to touch it, and implored me to go to it. The water, of course, had frozen solid. I handled tho ice and told the men they were silly to be afraid of. it, for this change always came over water on the tops ol high mountains. I put ono of the p *v on the fire, and predicted it would soon turn again into water.

Its motive power is neither steam nor electricity nor compressed air, but hot water under enormous pressure. This io stored in supply boilers aud then charged under the same pressure in tho battery cylinders of the motor. Its great merit is said to be its cheap ness. Extensive plants are not; re quired, and the cars can be operated on any track. All that is necessary are a number of boiler-houses (dong the road. Tho New York Central has had au experimental motor constructed, r.nd a freight car has been fitted up as a boiler-house to supply it with power. In thc freight car aro two vertical boilers, the latter being eight feet in height and six feet in diameter. In the middle of the large boiler is a great copper coil. Two iron pipes project from the aide of the freight car and are connected with socket couplings to pipes in the motor car alongside. The hot water is run through these pipes into the motor car'u battery cylinders, and then thc motor is ready to start. Tho motor car has been put on the main track of the company a number of times, has been run for five to ten minutes each time, and, it is said, a high speed has been attained. Chauncey Depcw, the President ol the New York Central, soys tho new motor will bo used in the euburban service of tho Grand Central if it proves to be the success predicted for it. The series of experiments started with it have not yet been finished, and the motor is therefore still an object of study and uncertainty, but soma engineers believe that it will r?volu. tionize railroad locomotion. Aut nnatic Hshiug EoJ. A Chicago genius was recently granted a patent on an automatic fish ing rod. This great labor saving de vice consists of - rod and bolder cocked and poised upon a strong spring. In this position it moy be left upon tho shore by itself, aflor the owner has baited tho hook and cast it into the water. When the fish seizes tho bait, the tug it gives the line opens the trigger, and the fish is jerked ashore and landed high and dry by the uncoiling of the spring. This invention at once removes fish ing from the list of laborious occupa tions and makes it nothing but pas time. _ Largest Clock in Gcrmnuy. Ihe largest clock in Germany is in the tower of St. Michael's Church, ?E Hamburg. This church ? re is ont of the tallest landmarks in thc city, and can be eeen far out at sea. Tnt four dials of the clock each measure twenty-six feet in diameter. Th( minuto hands aro twelve feet and thc hour, hands ten feet iu length. Th* chimes eau be heard for two or thre< miles in every direction. Importance of Noonday Appetite. Persons who keep close watch upon themselves are of the opinion that the hour of noon is the most critical period of life. At that time the human frame undergoes ferions changes. The stom ach has dispatched the morning meal and sends sconting parties out in search of another. The eyes and brain are on the alert, and there is a sort of ail-goneness pervading the an atomy that sharpers tho faculties and puts a new edge on the teeth. It is nature's dining time, and everything about the healthy man or woman is at tuned to the domination of enjoyment of what is called a "good square meal." Thoso who pey heed to the prompting of nature at this divine hour have their reward in good appe tite, good temper and excellent diges tion,which is conducive to all the good that flesh is heir to. But those who, following the imperious dictates of fashion, defer the hour of dining until all natural longings are dead,and have to be resurrected by adventurous aids, lay a train of evils and discomforts which sooner or later become the plague of tbeir lives. It is a well known fact that the noon diners are healthier and stronger and have better chances for long life than olh.'re. Chicago Chronicle. Help Wauted.

The dreadful hot wave that has hung over the country recently provea once more that, after all, man is the tough est creature in the animal kingdom. Hundreds of men have worked with horses recently to see the latter drop prostrated. Dogs, too, have suffered dreadfully and o:'ten needlessly. Water, shale and rest are the three saving conditions for animal?. Through some wrong-headed policy in oar larger cities it wonld sometimes look as if thero were a conspiracy to make these conditions as difficult as possible. New York has been within a year nearly denuded of shale trees. The old-time watering tronzos hive been largely removed. Teamsters who do not carry buckets on tu cir carts often compel their horses to wait for water uutil they aro nearly choked. There are no shady resting places on the streeis, the barns aro i!r ventilated oven?, and so upon occasions of exces uive heat the poor animals drop by ttcores.
