Beware 0! tie Knife. | Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., i writes: "For six years I have been * \ sufferer from a scrofulous affection ol the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Vvashington, D. C-. Spnng5eld, HI., and St. Louis failed tc reduce the enlargement. After sia months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a removal of the gland. At this critical moment a fnend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-reeled prejudice against 3ll patent medicines, I began its use. Before I had used one bottle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150." This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove eithef fruitless or fatal. S.S.S, is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root oJ and forces it out perma nently. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable') f A Real Blood Remedy. is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obstinate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc., which other so-called blood remedies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the root of the disease and forces it out permanently. Valuable books will be ^sent free WOMEN EXCOOAGED DR. TALMAGE'S WCRDS OF CHEER TO THE GENTLE SEX. Better Single Blessedness Than a Lifo of Misery With an Unworthy Husband. Girls Should Tie Taught to Take Care of Themselves. fCopyright. 1SSS. by American Press Association. ] Washington, Jan. 1(?.?This sermon of Dr. Talmage is a great encouragement to women who have to earn their own living, as well as to all toilers with hand or brain; text, Proverbs xiv, 1, "Every wise woman buildeth her house." Woman a mere adjunct to man, an appendix to the masculine volume, an ^" c-irt/if Hff-prthnnoht. some nyp^iJUCI^V) U UW* V V* ??- 0 , thing thrown in to make things even? that is the heresy entertained and implied by some men. This is evident to them, because Adam was iirst created, and then Eve. They den't read the whole story, or they would find that the porpoise and the bear and the hawk were created before Adam, so that this argument, drawn from priority of creation, might prove that the sheep and the dog were greater than man. No. Woman was an independent creation and was intended, if she chose, to live alone, to work alone, act alone, think alone and ficbt her battles alone. The Bible says it is not good fo? man to be alone, but never says it is not good for - woman to be alone, and the simple fact is that many women who are harnessed for life in the marriage relation would be a thousandfold better off if they were alone. Yvbo aro these men who year after year hang around hotels and engine houses and theater doors and come in and out.to bother busy clerks and merchants and mechanics, doing nothing when there is plenty to do? They are men supported by their wives and mothers. If the statistics of any of our cities could bo taken cn this subject, you w-rvnbl find that a vast multitude of wo men not only support themselves, but ruasculiues. A great legiou of men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage manacled to one of these nonentities needs condolence. A woman standing outside the marriage relation is several hundred thousand times better off than a woman badly married. Many a I ride, instead of a wreath of orango blossoms, might mere properly wear a bvuch of uetth s and nightshade, and instead of the wedding march a more appropriate tune would be the dead march in "Saul, " and iustead of a banquet cf confectionery and ices there might be more appropriately spread a table covered with apples of Sodom. Mistakes of Marriage. Many an attractive woman of good sound sense in other things has married one cf those men to reform him. What was the result? Like when a dove, noticing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel, set about to reform it and said, "I have a mild disposition, and I like ptace and was brought up in the quiet cf a dovecot, and I will bring the vul tr.re to the tame liking by marrying him," so cue day, after the vulture declared he wocld give up his carnivorous habits and cease longing for blood of fleck and herd, at an altar of rock covered with moss and lichen the twain were married, a bald beaded eagle officiating, the vulture saying, "With all my dominion of earth and sky I thee endow and premise to love and cherish till death do us port." But one day the ?v> Law cnri* t Lti vnl htrn ^\* IIUYC 111 rt? ?? iuv ? u?iutv at a carcass and cried: "Stop tbat! Did you not promise me that you would quit your carnivorous and filthy habits if 1 married you?" " Yes," said the vulture, "but if you don't like n.?y way yen car: Jeave." Ami with one angry stroke of the beak and another fierce clutch of the claw tbo vulture left the dove eyeJess and wingless and lifeless, and a flock of robins flying past cried to < ach other and said: "See there! That comes from a devo marrying a vulture to reform him." Many a woman who has had the band cf a young inebriate offered, but declined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish or of bad temp.er and refused the shackles, will bless God throughout all eternity that she escaped that earthly pandemonium. Husband* >ot Necewary. Besides nil this, in our country about 1,000,000 men were sacrificed in our civil war, and that decreed J.000,000 women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war several armies of men as large as the Federal and Confederate armies put together have fallen nnder malt liquors and distilled spirits, so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly, and the victims fell while yet young. And if 50,000 men are destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage that makes in the 33 years since the war 1,650,000 men slain and decrees 1,650,000 women to celibacy. Take, then, the fact that so many women are unhappy in their marriage and the fact that the slaughter of 2,550,000 men by war and rum combined decides that at least that number of women shall be unaffiancd for life, my test comes in with a cheer and a potency and appropriateness that you may never have seen in it before when it says, "Every wise woman buildeth her house"?that is, let woman be her own architect,. laj_out_h?r own plans, be her own snpervi.-.or, achieve her own oVs tiny. In addressing those women who have j to fight the battle alone I congratul vte ; ycu on your happy escape. Rejoice for- | ever that yen will not have to navigate j the faults of theotlnr sex when yon j | have faults enough of your own. Think : ?f the fcerca\ements yon avoid, cf the risks of unassimilated temper which you will not have to run, of the cares i you will never have to carry and of the ( opportunity of outside usefulness from { which marital life would have partially debarred you, and that you are free to i go and come as cue who has the respouj sibilities of a household can seldom be. !

Girls Should Kc TKtight Self Rcllauce. As no boy ought to be brought up without learning tune business at which he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the science of self support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of success, and the husland and father depends en bis own health and acumen for tbewd fare of his household, but one day begets his feet wet, and in three days pneumonia has closed his lift', and the daughters are turned out oil a eolil world to earn bread, and there is nothing practical that they can do. The friends come in and hold consultation "Give music lessons," says an outsider. Yes, that is a useful calling, and if you have great genius for it go 011 in that direction. But there are enough music teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities to occupy all the piano stools and sofas and chairs and front doorsteps of the city. Besides that, the daughter has boon playing only for amusement and is only at the foot of the ladder, to the top of which a great multitude of masters cn piano and harp and flute and organ have climbed. "Put the bereft daughters as saleswomen in stores, "say6 another adviser. Eut there they must compete with salesmen of long expedience or with men who bare served an apprenticeship in commerce and who began as shopboys at 10 years of age. Seme kiud hea ted dry goods man, having known the father, now gone, says, "We are not in need of any more help just now, but J t send your daughters to my store, unci i. will do as well by them as possible." Very soon the question comes up, Why do not tbe female employees of tbat establishment get as much wages as the male employees? For the simple reason, / in many cases, the females wero suddenly flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day tbey left the public school been learning tbe business. IIow is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach your daughters that life is an earnest thing, and that there is a possibility if not a strcug probability that they will have to tight the lattle of life alone. Lot every father and mother say to their daughters, "Now, what would you do for a livelihood if what I now own were swept away by financial disaster or old age or death should end my career?" Advice to Unmarried ffomea. "Wei*., I coukl paint on pottery and do such decorative work." Yes, that is beautiful, and if you have genius for it go on in that direction. But there arc enough busy at that now to make a line of hardware as Icug as you Pennsylvania avenue. "Well, I could make recitations in public and earn my living as a dramatist. I could render 'King Lear' cr 'Macbeth' till your hair would rise on end < r give ycu 'Sheridan's Hide' or Dickens' 'Pickwick.'" Yes, that is a beautiful art. but ever and aucn, as now, there is au epidemic of dramatization that makes hundreds of households nervous with the cries and shrieks and groans of young tragediennes dying in the fifth act, and the trouble is that while your friends would like to hear you and really think tbat you could surpass Gistori and Coarlotto Cnsbman and Fanny Ktmble of the past, to say nothing of the present, you ccuju not in u:c why of living in ten years earn 10 cents. My auvice to all girls and all unmarried wemtu, whether in affluent hemes or in homes where most stringent economies are grinding, is to learn to do seme kind of work that the world must have while the world stands. I am glad to see a marvelous change for the better and that women have found out that there are hundreds of practical things that a woman can do for a living if she begins soon enough and that men have been compelled to admit it. You and J can remember when the majority of occupations were thought inappropriate for women, hut our civil war came, and the hosts of men went forth frcm north and south, and to conduct the business of cur citic-s during the patriotic al senee women were demanded by the tens of thousands to take the vacant places, and multitudes of women who had leui hitherto supported by fathers ?i i ,.1? a LIU LUUIJUIXS ciUU SUlJn flac W)III| vmu from that time to take care of themselves. From that time a mighty change took place favorable to female employment. Occupations For Women. Among the occupations appropriate for woman I place the following, into many of which she has already entered, and all the others she will enter: Stenography, and you may find ber at nearly all the reportorial stands in our educational, political and religious meetings.

Oh, young women of America, as many of you will have to fight your own hatths alone, do net wait until you are fiung of disaster and your father is dead and all the resources of your family Lave been scattered, but now, while in a good house and environed by all prosperities, learn how to do seme kind of work that the world must have as long as the world stands. Turn your atrcuticn from the embroidery of fine slippers, cf which there is a surplus, and make a useful shoe. Expend the time in which you adorn a cignr case in learning how to make a good, honest leaf of 1 read. Turn your attention from the making of flimsy nothings to the manufacturing of important some tilings. Much of the time spent in young ladies' seminaries in studying what are called the "higher branches" might better be expended in teaching them something by which they could support themselves. If you are going to be teachers or if you have so much assured wealth that you can always dwell in those high regions, trigonometry of course, metaphysics of course, Latin and Greek and German and French and Italian of course, and a hundred other things of course, tut if ycu are not expecting to teach and your wealth is not established biyoud misfortune after you have learned the ordinary branches take hold of that kind of study that will pay in dollars and cents in case you are thrown 011 your own resources. Learn to do something better than anybody else. "No, no," says seme young woman, "I will net undertake anything so unromantic and commonplace as that." An excellent author writes that after he had, in a beck, argued for efficiency in womanly work in order to success and positive apprenticeship by way of preparation a prominent chemist advertised that he would teach a class of women to become druggists and apothecaries if they would go through an apprenticeship as men do, and a printer advertised that he would take a class of women to learn the printer's trade if they would Co through an apprenticeship as men do, and how many, according to the account of the author, do you suppose applied to lecoine skilled in the druggist business and printing business? Not one! A Common Delusion. "But," you ask, "what would my father and mother say if they saw I was doing such unfashionable work?" Throw the whole responsibility upon us, the pastors, who are constantly hearing of young women in all these cities who, unqualified ly their previous luxurious surroundings for the awful struggle of life into which they have b?.en suddenly hurled, seemed to have nothing left them but a cboico between starvation and damnation. There they go along the street at 7 o'clock in the wintry moHiings through the Elush and storm to the place where they shall tarn only half enough for subsistence, the daughters of once prosperous mc: chants, lawyers, clergymen, artists, bankers and capitalists, who brought up their children under the infernal delusion that it was not high toned for women to learn a profitable calling. Vcuug women, take this affair in your own hand, and let there be an insurrection in all pros Jld UUC 1 (UiUliV:0 KJll lUU I Vl UJV VIUUJJU tcrs of tliis day, demanding knowledge in occupations and styles of business by which they may be their own defense and their own support if all fatherly and husbandly and brotherly hands forever fail tht in. I have seen two sad sights, the one a woman in all the glory of her young life, stricken by disease and in a week lifeless in a home of which she had been the pride. As her hands were folded over the still heart and her eves closed for the last slumber and she was taken out amid the lamentations of kindred and friends I thought that was a sadn< ss immeasurable. But I have seen something compared with which that see no was bright and songful. It was a young woman who had been all her days amid wealthy surroundings by the visit of death and bankruptcy to the household turned out on a cold world without one lesson about how to get food or shelter and into the awful whirlpool of city life, where strong ships have gone down, and for 20 years not cue word has been heard from her. Vessels went out on the Atlantic ocean looking for a shipwrecked craft that was left alone and forsaken on the si a a few weeks before, with the idea of bringing it into port jsutwuo snail ever uriug again lnio tne harbor of peace and hope and heaven that lost womanly immortal, driven in j what tempest, aflame in what conflagration, sinking into what abyss? O (Jod, help! O Christ, rescue! My sisters, give not your time to learning fancy work which the world may dispense with in hard times, but connect your skill with the indispensables of life. The world will always want something to w?ar and something to eat, and shelter and fuel for the body, a: d knowledge for the mind, and religion for the soal. And all these things will continue to be the necessaries, and if you fasten your energies upon occupations and professions thus related the world will Le unable to do without you. Remember that in proportion as you are skillful in anything your rivalries become less. For unskilled toil there are I women by the millions. But you may rise to where there are only thousands, | and still higher till tin re are only a i hundred, and still higher till tin re are only ten, and still higher, in some particular department, till there is only a unit, and that yourself. For awhile you MHaBHMnHHHMBBBMn may keep \vag? > s.n?? :i p*.n.e il.r- -Ii~> the kindly sympathy of an employer, hut you will eventually got no more compensation than you can make yourself worth. Let mo say to all women who hr.vo already entered upon the battles of life that the time is coming when women shall not only get as much salary and wages as men get, hut for certain styles of employment women will have bight r salary and more wages, for the it a son that for some styles of work they have more adaptation. But this justice will come to woman not through any sentiment of gallantry, not because woman is physically weaker than man, and therefore ought to Lave more consideration shown her, hut because through h??r liner natural taste, and more graco | cf manner, and quicker perception, and more delicate touch, and more educated adroitness, she will in certain callings le to her employer worth 10 per cent more or 20 per cent more than the other sex. Slie will not get it by asking fur it, hut by earning it, and it shall Le hers by lawful conquest. Now, men cf America, bo fair and give the women a chance. Are you afraid that they will do some of your work, and litnce harm your prosperities: Remember that thero are scores of 'thousands of men doing women's work. Do not be afraid. Cod knows the end from the beginning, and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too full lie will end the world and if need be start another. Gcd will halt the inventive faculty which, by producing a machine that will do the work of 10 or 20 cr 100 men and women, will leave that number of people without work. I hope that there will not be invented another sewing machine, or reaping machine, or corn thrasher, or any ether new machine for the uc-xt GOO years. We want no moro wooden bands, and iron hands, and steel hands, and electric hands substituted for men and women, who would otherwise do the work and get the pay and earn the livelihood. Trust In God. But Cod will arrange all, and all v.o have to do is to do our best and tru.-t him fcr the rest. Let me cheer all \\omt.?i firrlitinf* thn battle of life alone M ? o with the fact cf thousands of women who have wou the day. Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holyoke Female seminary, fought the battle alcue; Adelaide Newton, the tract distributer, alone; Fidelia Fisk, the consecrated missionary, alone; Dcrotbea Dix, the angel of the insane asylums, alone; Carolino Herschel, the indispensable re-eufcrcement of her brother, alone; Maria Takrzewskn, the heroine of tbo Berlin hospital, alone; Helen Chalmers, patron of the sewing schools for the poor of Edinburgh, alcue, and thousands and tens of thousands of women, of whose bravery and self sacrifice and glory of character the world has mado no record, but whose deeds arc in the heavenly archives of martyrs who fought the battle alone, and, though unrecognized for the short 530 or 50 or 80 years of their earthly existence, shall through the quintillicn ages of the higher world be pointed cut with the admiring cry, "These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Let me also say for the encouragement of .",11 women fighting tho battle of life alone that their conflict will soon end. There is one word written over the faces of many of them4 and that word is "despair." My sister, you need appeal to Christ, who comforted the sisters of Bethany in their domestic trouble - * - ? i t ?n UHQ WHO 111 illS lust llUUib iuijjUL un iiiu pangs of his own bands and feet and heart as he looked into the face of maternal anguish and called a friend's attention to it, in substance saying: "John, I cannot take care of her any longer. Do for her as I would have done if I had lived. Behold thy mother!" If under the pressure of unrewarded and unappreciated work your hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, rejoice that ycu are nearing the hour of escape from your very last fatigue and may your departure be as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with a smile and the word "peace." The daughter of a regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and in the battle, whoever falls, she is kept safe. And you are the daughter of the regiment commauded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are net fighting the battle of life alone. All heaven is ou your side. You will le wise to appropriate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm: One who has known in storms to sail 1 have on board. Above the roaiing of the gale i hear inj Lord. He holds nic. When the billows smite, 1 shall not fall. If short, 'tis sharp; If lor.g. tis light He tempers all. The Greatest Discovery Yet. | W. M Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111, "Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Dis covery.
