Before I be gan taking it I was all run down, felt tired and sleepy most of the time, had pains in my back and side, and such TT~-tcniuic headaches all the time, andcould not sleep well nights. I al so had ovarian trouble. Through the advice of a friend I began the usc of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege ^ table Compound, and since taking it aU troubleshave gone.

About 10,000 Seek America-After Ban | ishmont in Siberia and Rovings in Rus sia TI?c.v Long for Pence - Their Creed One of thc Strangest- Thc Sect Growing. Interested ii? the plan of bringing to the United States for colonization a strange Russian sect are William Dean Howells, Bolton Hall, Ernest H. Crosby and Isaac N. Seligmau of New York, Jano Addams of Chicago, "William Lloyd Garrison of Boston^ George Dana Boardman, D-. D.? ol Philadelphia aud N? 0, Nelson of Si. Louis, Behind them allis Tolstoi, the great I Russian writer and social reformer. His personal friend and representa tive in the colonization matter, Mr. Mode, an Englishman, arrived recent ly from the other side and went to Rhinebeck as a guest of Mr. Crosby. It is a hundred years of persecution that these Russians are anxious to flee from before they are entirely wiped off the face of that country. They aro tho Dhoukhoborsti, or spirit wrestlers. The sect was found ed in 1750, and of all creeds theirs is one of the strangest. They do not believe in a God of one person, or iu tho Trinity, but believe that God dwells in each soul. Their trinity is composed of Memory, Rea son and Will. They accept the fall of Adam, but believe it was his own individual fall, not that of the human race. They be lieve that Christians are given to idol atry. Their tenets read. "The church' is composed of all those called from amoug the worldly and ordained to walk in the path of light. The chosen ones cannot be recognized by any outward sign." The Dhoukhoborsti has members of all natious, races and tongues. Mauy Americaus belong to the sect without knowing it. It does not believe in hell r>r paradise, resurrection of the body or destruction of the visible world. It believes that physical Na ture will last forever. The millennium will come when the righteous overcome the sinners. Those who are then dead will not par take ia the millennium. This sect claims that a child, newly born is a piece of soulless matter. The soul enters the body between the sixth and fifteenth year. The Russian government is the abomination of the Dhoukhoborsti, but the believers are far from being revolutionary. They are said to be the most peaceable people in Russia, abhor force, will not fight, pay their taxes a:id never complain about the amount. They use no harsh lan guage. The Russian police discovered the sect in 1750, but it was not until 1799 that persecution set in. Czar Paul I in that year issued a ukase against the believers. They then numbered 15,000, The ukase read: "All adherents and members of this pernicious sect, unworthy of any clem ency, should be bauished to the Si berian mines for life, and set to the hardest work. They should never have the chains removed from their arms and legs, in order that they who deny the supreme authority of earthly potentates enthroned by the will of God should feel sharply cn their own earth established by God for the de fence of the good and the chastise ment of villains like themselves." The ukase was, of course, carried out, but nuder Alexander I the perse cution?ceased and the people were al lowed to have their own farms in Si beria. In 1832 Nicholas I ordered thot all believers should be enrolled iu the army, and those unqualified should go to tlie mines of Nerchiucki. The military order was the worst thing that could happen to the Dhouk hoborsti. When face to face with the enemy they refused to fight, as it was against their consciences. All were ordered to the mines. In spite of all the sect grew, and between 1840 aud 18G0 there were 25,000 members. In 1860 they were allowed to reluru to the eastern fron tier of Russia. Since then they have not been permitted to remain in any oue place longer than six months. They have been reduced to 10,000. Tolstoi became interested in these nomads five years ago. Six weeks ago a prominent ^ew Yorker received a letter from him saying that he had received permission from the Russian government for these people to emi grate. The time is limited to two years. The idea is to colonize them in the southwest. They are farmers. To get them ont of Russia in time it may be vecessary to, movo them to the island of Cyprus first. The Last .lian to Leave thc Maine. Captain Charles D. Sigsbee in his "Personal Narrative of thc Maine" in the Century says: It was a hard blow to be obliged to leave the Maine; none of us desired to leave while any part of her poop re mained above water. We waited un til satisfied that she was resting ou the bottom of the harbor. Lieutenant Commander Wainwright then whis pered to me that he thought tho for ward ten-inch magazine had been thrown up into the burning material amidships and might explode at any time, with further disastrous eBeets, r?e was then directed to get every body into the boats, which was done. It was an easy operatiou; one had only to step directly from the deck into tiie boat. There was siill some delay to make sure that the ship's stern had grounded, and still more because of the extreme politeness of the officers, who considerately offered me a steady ing hand to step into the boat. Lieut enant-Commander Wainwright stood on one side and Lieutenant Holman on tho other; each offered me a hand. I suggested the propriety o? my being the last to leave, and requested them to precede me, which they did. There was favorable comment later in the press because T left last. It is a fact that I was the last to leave,Avhich was only proper; that is to say, it would have been improper otherwise; but virtually all left Inst. The fine con duct of those who came under my ob servation that night was conspicuous aud touching. The heroism of the wounded men I did not see at the time, but afterward good reports of their be havior wore very common. The pa tient way in which they bore them selves left no doubt that they added nev/ honors to the service when the Maine went down. Small Solace.

A Little Fellow Who Drove a Sledge Unl<l He Almost Froze to Death. "The Boys of Siberia" is the title of an article in the St. Nicholas by Thomas G. Allen, Jr. Mr. Allen says: I have often witnessed the brave endurance of the Siberian boy, but never to such an extent as while on a sledge journey from Krasnoyarsk to Miuusiusk. The road between these two points daring the winter is noth ing more than the frozen surface of the Yenisei river) for the ice is over a yard in thickness, and although the swift Current of the river crowds it lip into small hummocks during the early winter, yet, with the packing of 6now and the constant wear of the sledge caravans, it affords a compara tively smooth and solid roadbed. The ice is considered so safe that it is even used as a bridge for the trains of the Trans-Siberian railway. The ties are laid directly upon the ice and the loco motive with a loaded train steams across. Fancy a thousand tons' weight crossing one of the largest and deep est rivers in Siberia merely on frozen water! The incident I am going to tell oc curred on one of the coldest nights I have ever experienced, *or the ther mometer stood at 2" aegroes below zero. In nrd"" prepare for tho long rice io . .e next station) I had swallowed three or four glasses of hot tea at the yemskie quarteer, or station, and strapped on a heavy reindeer-pelt over my huge Russian overcoat. On reaching the sledge, or tarautass, which was waiting, I saw on the driver's box what appeared to be a solid ball of fur, but on closer inspection I fouud that the bundle contained a boy not move than fourteen years of age. His extreme youthfulness surprised me, an? I immediately returned to the keeper of the quartern to remonstrate with him him against detailing a mere boy for such an arduous duty on such a cold night. He assured mo that the boy referred to had made the same journey many times before, and was indeed a full-Hedged yemstchick, or tarautass driver. Although in wardly protesting, I could do nothing but accept the situation. I gave the word to start. Crack ! went the little fellow's whip, and away dashed the troika (team of three horses). Our horses were already im patient with the cold. The night was black and threatening, and the road way among the hummocks of ice on the river was almostindistinguishable. As the darkness increased, we fre quently missed it altogether, and the ponderous sledge went bumping and toppling over the icy hummock of ice. "The horse is down, barin" (master), shouted the little yemstchick. I leaped out at once, and ran to the horse's head to assist him to rise, but he did not move. There was not even a sound of breathing. I placed my hand over his heart. There was not a beat. The horse was dead. The poorly-nour ished animal had succumbed to the excessive cold and strain. We took off the harness, backed the sledge out of the way, and then started off again with the two horses remaining. The little fellow on tbe box, I could see, was shivering with the cold, as I myself was by this time, for the exposure necessitated by the accidenthad chilled me through. I offered to take, and even insisted upon taking, his place for a time, so that he might warm up; but he resented this intrusion as almost an indignity to his calling. Not ?. uiutuiut \jt U13cvu?:uii j/aonctl liltr lips. On we rode through the dark ness; but how long I know not, for, exhausted by twenty-four hours' con stant traveling. I fell into a dose. From this I was finally roused by a sudden shock. We seemed to have collided with something. I looked out, and saw that we had reached the next village, and that our steaming, frost-covered horses, eager to get into shelter, had run the shafts of our vehicle headlong into the gate. "What's the matter ?" I called ont to the yemstchick. "Please, barin, I couldn't hold 'em" oame the reply, in a chattering voice. That admission was sufficient; I knew that the little fellow's hands must bo either numbed or frozen, and for that reason he could not pull on the reins. I jumped out, opened the gate, and led the horses in; but he did not move from his box; his legs were too stiff with the cold. 1 picked him up and carried him bodily into the house. A basin of snow was im mediately brought to thaw out his frozen lingera, while I removed bis clothing to rub a circulation back into his stiffened limbs. With this and a glass or two of hot tea we finally re stored him to animation. Even then he never uttered one word of com plaint, and when I slipped a ruble into his glowing fingers he looked as cheerful as though nothing unpleas ant had happened. If this, I thought, is the stuff the Siberian soldiery are made of, thou Russia need never fear a rival to her title cf "Ruler of the East !" "Colored Colors. The denomination of "colored col ors" may sound paradoxical, but as a matter of fact miueral colors are fre quently met with of late whose dull and little productive character is ren dered more fiery and richer bv the addition of coal-tar colors. Ii. gen eral, no ojection eau be made to such a procedure, if colors sufficiently fast to light are chosen, as is well possible nowadays. But very often this is not done. Thus the eosines used for car minette are very fugitive; likewise coloriug with fuchsine and aniline blue fades in the light. If one wants to employ artificial organic coloring matters for fining, faster ones should be employed. According to M. Bot tler, the rather fast rhoilamines, next methylene blue aud meldola blue, which are very fast, deserve a prefer ence. Against the use of ponceau, cocciues and scarlets, which for the most part aro not inferior as regards fastness to the cochineals, whoso place they nave taken, less objection can be raised. Since it has been established by the above-mentioned observations that for coloring varieties of earminette, velvet red, purple cinnabar red, (ver milion) and chrome red, such artifi cial organic coloriug matters aro also employed as are liable to fade quickly, this fact should be given sufficient at tention in practice. Carminette is frequently libed, prepared with tur pentine and English varnish as a car riage color; likewise vermilion and chrome red.-Maier Zeitung. Swnllo'ws as Masons.

HOME LIFE IN_PUERTO RICO Reading >'ot n Strone; Point of the Island's Population. The native early morniug meal is a cup of coffee with milk-addiction to the black coffee habit does not exist on the island-and a piece of bread. Breakfast is served at ll or 12 o'clock, and is seldom elaborate, unless guests are in the house. Boiled eggs, bread and coffee satisfy the ordinary man, but the hungry man eats his garlicky beefsteak in addition. Dinner is the meal of the day, and is eaten between 6 aud 7 o'clock. This is the native's only full heavy meal, and this fact may accouut for his abil ity to eat a quantity of food which leaves the average American a victim to indigestion and remorse. The positions of honor at a dinner table are, amoug the older and non traveled residents, in the following order: The head of the table to the most distiuguihed guest; the rest, iu the order of their rank and importance, ranged around to the right, the host occupying the last seat after his guests. The women sit at the left of the table, altogether. Among the more cultured classas the host occu pies the head, the hostess the foot, the seats of honor being to the right and left of the host. The eveuings in the home-for in stance, of an alcalde, the mayor of a town-are spent around the marble topped centre table, lazily rocking to and fro in the big chairs. The men smoke their cigarettes-the women never smoke -and a flow of small talk, filled with simple jokes and sallies, constitutes the entire even ing's amusement. When they have pianos, the daughters exhibit their limited skill on instruments which aro jangled and out of tune. One never sees a book or a magazine in these houses, though in two or three of the larger cities there are many literary mon. Reading is not a strong point of the island population. - Special Correspondence of Harper's "Weekly. The Sense of Direction in Animais. I am an old reader of the Spectator, and should like to be allowed to add one to the mauy interesting stories you have collected about the traits of animals. Mine retates to a paradise duck which had become domesticated, and lived at a sheep station twenty one miles from Timaru, in tho provin cial district of Canterbury. It be longed to the housekeeper, who had clipped its wings, and it spent its life between the homestead and a small pond close by. In course of time its mistress left for the neighborhood of Christchurch, and she carried the duck with her in a basket. Her journey was by train twenty-one miles to Ti maru, then by chuuging to another train for ninety-five miles, and finally by coach or cart for about teu miles. By aud by the duck disappeared from its new home, and was looked upon as lost. Then its mistress re turned to her previous domicile some time after-how long I have not dis covered-ami to her intense surprise found tho duck bad revisited its old haunts, and was settled on the pond as before. It could not Hy, and no one was known to have carried it, so the only remaining hypothesis is that it walked for one hundred aud twenty miles, threading its way by many crossroads, over bridges, and across streams, through a country which presents a great variety of contour in hill, valley and river.-J. M. Ritchie in London Spectator. Fishwives Win From tho Mayor. The wives of the boatmen and mus sel-gatherers living in the highly pic turesque little towu of Conway have just come oft' with flying colors in a municipal contest fought on novel lines. It npi>ears that it has beeu their custom for a long time past to hang their weekly washing ont on lines hung along the quay froutage, causing an eyesore to the mayor, who is a gentleman of aesthetic tastes, and others jealous for the reputation of their pretty little town. The mayor tried in vain to bring the good fish wives to his view of thc matter, and then warned them that unless the eye sore was removed he would doit him self. Tho next washing day he was as good as his word, and on proceed ing to tho spot cut down the lines.' Au exciting municipal contest was in progress at the time, and the wives of the quay cottagers went on the war path. They used their eloquence against the Conservative candidates ou tho mayor's side to such good ef fect that Radical members were re turned to all the seats with over whelming majorities; and the pros? peet is that for some years to come the esplanade of Conway will be adorned with its weekly display of laundry work as heretofore.-Liverpool Post.

IA, reporter who spent some time re cently among ?h? Pennsylvania Ger mans of Lancaster County discovered what will probably be to most people a distinctly new use for sauerkraut, a native production of old Lancaster, and a staple article of food. He h rd called to see an old friend who keeps ?1 dairy* and found the dairyman in the act of taking great bunches of succu lent cabbage from a barrel in the cel lar. . The odor pervaded the neigh borhood, and made feiaS the nostrils of every true and loyal Pennsylvania "Dutchman" within a distance of about half a mile. The reporter was astonished when the dairyman picked up a bucketful of sauerkraut and car ried it to his cow stables. The second animal in the long row of stalls was a big, strong-boned cow. Her head was hanging low under the manger, although there was a plentiful supply of hay In the rack above. Her ears had a dejected droop, and her eyes were half closed. She was evidently a very sick cow at a time when she should have been in good spirits, for among the Pennsylvania Germans it is still a popular belief that on Christ mas Eve the cows in their stalls may bo heard to talk to each other of the great- event the day comm?mor?tes. The bucketful of sauerkraut was dumped into the manger. The cow, by somefpecullar system of feeling, first gave evidence of her appreciation by slowlfr switching her tail, which had before hung limp and lifeless. Then she raised ber head, poked her great muzzle into the kraut, and slowly be gan to munch the stuff. Fifteen min utes later she looked quite happy. She had eaten all the kraut, and was tak ing great mouthfuls of thc hay. The dairyman said sauerkraut had long been known as one of the best things In ;he world to give a sick cow an ap petite.

The cannibals of the upper Mobangl River In Africa, are again making white men the victims of their appe tite for human flesh. According to a despatch from Antwerp, four Belgian commercial agents, i? the service of the Aufcwerp Trading Company, have recently been killed and eaten. The Mohangl River TS the largest tributary of the Congo, and no rivers Cf Europe, except the Volga and Danube, equal lt in length or In the volume of wa.er. Its 1,500 miles of river banks are densely peopled, most of the way, and the inhabitants are the most inveter ate cannibal;: vi the Congo basin. lu other parts of the Congo region the first explorers were able to buy food with beads and brass wire, but along the Mohangl those articles of trade wore not desired. "Give us men to eat," shouted the natives, "and we will give you all the manioc, goats and cuickens you want. "We don't want your trade goods, and we will sell you nothing except for men." Grenfell, Van Gele and the other pioneers on the Mohangl used to tell of the expeditions of large canoes they met. Hundreds of men were pad dling up and down the river bound for destinations sometimes scores of m'les from their starting point. They were not on the war-path, but were simply on their way to other tribes to buy slaves for consumption, and coming home the bottoms of their canoes would be covered with poor wretches bound hand and foot, whom thty had purchased. -W??1 1rs- CW.-jl Every year between 480,000,000 and 500,000,000 pounds of Australian wool are Imported into Great Britain. There are also imports from South Africa, South America and other countries, making the total annual Importation about 800.000.000 pounds. More than half of this vast quantity of raw ma terial is retained for home manufac ture, but we let more than half the colonial wool go abroad. The Austra lian wools are among the finest, and arc much sought after by Continental manufacturers. Every country, al most every district, has its own kind of wool. It depends ori breed and cli mate, the character of the country, and the nature of the pasturage. Tho dry climate and short herbage of the Australian colonies produce the finest fleeces. Wool comes from the prairies of South America full of burrs, and a coarse quality is produced In South Africa. The condition of the wool as imported ls also, of course, a prime element in price, which depends on whether it ls "greasy" or "scoured," 'skirty* or stringy, fntty or earthy. The wants of manufacturers are as varied ns the qualities of wool. Buyers at the exchange know exactly what they want, and can estimate to a nicety what they ought to pay for it.-Good Words.

Colonel Hay, our new Secretary of State, was, when a hoy, a regular at tendant of the Presbyterian Sunday school at Warsaw, 111. The Sunday school lesson*- partly consisted of committing to memory Bible verses, and to attain supremacy In this created quite a rivalry among the scholars. John Hay was sure to :ome out ahead from two to five an swers, sometimes more, causing those ot his comrades who were always be hind him to regard him with envy. Consequently, when some of those boys heard that John had to wash dishes and do the churning for hi? mother, and, more than all, that he wore an apron while at these duties, lils jealous comrades fairly crowed! One morning it was agreed by his comrades to get him out of doors while he had his apron on, and humili ate him by having two or three girls whom he rather liked ask him ques tions in regard to his housework. Young Hay came out to where the boys were, and answered the questions by saying that he washed dishes as his mother taught him; and then with twinkling eyes, he gave the dishpan which he had with him a tremendous fling, contents and all, drenching who ever happened to be near enough, and, laughing loudly, ran into the. kitchen. Hay and his big apron were never mo lested after that.-^Chiistlan Endeavoi Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Life Array.

ERE IT ?8= The Little Valve Which Has for Hundreds of Years Prevented the Cure of Diseases in the Air Passages. Physicians Witness thc Death of Thousands Annually, Unable to Reach the Diseased Parts on Account of This Ob stacle Created by Nature to Protect the Bron chial Tubes and Lungs. BPIfiLOTTlSfe, It ls now ncknowled-cd'by all medical men that this little valve, called the epiglot tis, has effectively prevented tho cure of Consumption and all deep-seated diseases of the respiratory organs for hundreds of years, lt is due to Its presence at the entrance of tho windpipe that all liquid medicines, no matter in what form they are administered or how minutely dlvidtdby sprays or atomizers, are prevented from entering the bronchial tubes or lungs; vet, if lt were not for this little valvo, liquids and food would enter these passages and cnus? Instant strangulation and death. The epiglottis is always open to permit the passage of air to the lungs, but so constructed that the slightest contraction of tho throat causes lt to close over the opening to tho windpipe, and prevent the least drop of moisture from entering the passages which load to the lungs. Try to breathe and swallow at the same time and you will see how perfectly this little valve does Its work. Is it any wonder, then, that the number of persons .li?llct?d with Catarrh. Bronchitis nnd Consur.p??on have steadily increased every year, and that the medical profession sheuld have become excited over tho discovery of a dry air germicide, the first over found, that oan be car ried to all parts of tho head, throat, and lungs in the air you breathe?
