iSS1 ^ W\ A Stealthy, Insidio Thousand Womc There are a multitude of women, especially housewives, and all other women obliged to be on their feet constantly, who are wretched beyond description, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped away by catarrhal discharges from tne pelvic organs. These women get up in the morning tired, drag themselves through their daily duties tired, only to go to bed at night as tired as before. WWVW1 Mrs. Eva Barttio, 133 East 12th Stioef, N. Y. City, N.

Did He Never Hunger for Steak??Oh, Yes, and Sometimes Yielded. In a downtown store where vegetarians are supplied with nut meats the proprietor's son is himself a devotee of the cult. He has been living on vegetables, fruit and nuts for nine months, and is an enthusiast. "Before I adopted my present mode of living/' ho said to a New York Mail and Express reporter, "I was bothered with headaches and felt bad?sluggish and stupid. I worked daily in a gymnasium, but couldn't shake that feeling off. Then I changed to vegetables and nut meat and I felt like a different being. My headaches left me; I felt bright and became more active. 1 found I could bear a greater physical strain in the gymnasium. Why, I can dance all night without fatigue. And some of the men who live as I do can stand the greatest amount of cold without discomfort. They come in nere ior nut meat on the coldest days, wearing no overcoat, vest or undershirt. It's just fine." He drew himself up as he spoke, his eyes sparkling. He was enthusiastic. The reporter to whom he was speaking was rather an ancient person of portly habit, much given to the flesh pots through defective early training, possibly, and withal inclined to scoff. So with diabolical Intent the reporter said to the glowing youth: "Don't you ever experience a meat hunger? For instance, a nice, thick steak, deep brown on the outside, the inside a robust red, the 6teaming juice running out of it, fried potatoes and " Alas, for frail humanity! It was too much. The youth bent forward, the corners of his mouth quivering. He permitted his questioner to get no further than the potatoes. "Oh, ye3," he Interrupted.

She spoke rarely and in^a way always a little mysteriously, making voluntary secrets of a hundred little actions of life, and loving solitude in an alarming manner. All this was off-set by eyes so beautiful, by a coloring so^marvellous, by an expression so divine, that I had not the courage to reflect on the singularity of her character. I loved her, and I often passed hours of the night sitting before her doorstep, simply dreaming "that she lived here," and meditating on her presence as does the believer on the transubstantiation. I did not know, in. the first place, whether she loved me or not; she always refused to answer that question, referring to the wishes of her parents and her confidence in their wisdom. If I insisted, she generally ended by saying "that she knew nothing about it, but that she felt no antipathy toward me, and that, according to her ideas, was enough to decide a young girl on marriage!" Tn vain T s'lnnlioatprl in vain I tried to animate'this enigmatical being; she remained as distant as the manner in which she loved, as unknown as she was dominating. One evening as I was dreaming a little sadly of these things, a commotion was heard in the house. I returned to the salon, where everything was in disorder, my hosts were distressed, their friends embarrassed and troubled and old Mme. Larcche horribly pale and trembling. "What in the world has happened?" I asked. They explained incoherently that Mme. Lariche's diamonds were stolen?old family diamonds of great value. All the servants had * been summoned into an adjoining room?in short, a formal search was to be instituted. An old gentleman, M. Coppe, had been unanimously selected to direct this investigation just as I was entering, and hi3 first proposition was that everyone should submit or, rather, offer himself to be searched. Although the thing was rather offensive, no one protested, and it was decided that, after the servants, each person JJX^OCJLIL OUUU4U UVJ To tell the truth, all this seemed of small importance beside my personal cares; and, with several others, I awaited the end of the adventure, while M. Coppe, his two witnesses and our host, began the inspection of the domestics. Very soon I fell again into my meditation, my eyes fixed on the fireplace as though there were a fire, when suddenly I felt a light touch on my elbow. I raised my head with a start, to see my fiancee looking at me most beseechingly. We were alone near the fireside and could taik in low tones without being overheard. She murmured very low: "If you love me, arrange that they search you first; then try to be near me, and, without being seen, try to conceal the object that I shall pass you from behind." My blood ran cold. This. annoying incident became terrible, filling me with the most passionate trouble. I looked at the girl in agony, but forced myself to smile, and whispered: "It shall be as you wish!" ' My knees trembled, my mouth was hot and dry^ The feeling that overwhelmed me was inexpressible. It was a strange mingling of bitterness and pleasure, that my loved one should be weak to such a degree. I forced myself to have a sort of disdainful pity, and in reality love beat ardent, strong, stern in my breast. I understood, in a flash, how beauty could become divine above baseness r>f a n fi h/rnr ooulrl rocndnt if OUUi| UiiU UV II VliV/ V'VUiU * it even in dishonor?and a hundred other things in which were confused fervent love, devotion without limit, a desire noble and perverse. Jeanne had thanked me with hardly perceptible movement of the lips; ?he stood by the wall with an air of indifference and pride! "They are very long about it," she said sternly. "M. Coppo is a man of method," someone replied. And a silence followed which told more and more on one's nerves, for even the waiting in a peaceful frame of mind finished by disturbing and emptying the brain, like a pump. However, the moment arrived when the searching of the servants ended, the door opened, disclosing our host, the two witnesses, and the old' gentleman. My heart beat furiously. I felt myself become terribly pale, but, concealing my agitation and steadying my voice, I asked to be searched first. M. Coppe smiled at what he considered the whim of a young man, and proceeded methodically to my examination. I blushed. I became pale without anyone finding that peculiar under the circumstances. When it was over I made two or three steps backward and I found myself near Jeanne She lowered her fan and handed me something with a coolness that was only equalled by my calmness in seizing the object and placing it in a pocket of my coat. After which I leant against the fireplace, being now merely a witness and above all suspicion. M. Coppe's search was unproductive of results. There remained nothing to do but to visit all the rooms and then inform tho police. Still my trouble of mind increased as I remained standing by tho fire place. My brain was in a whirl, and I felt the crime weigh on me as though I were indeed the thief. Jeanne at last came toward me with that undulating step of hers, and gave me a look of such passionate gratitude that it almost seemed to scorch me. The in an imperative tone she said: "Do you still love me?" I did not hesitate. I replied firmly: "Yes." "In spite of all that I have done?" "In spite of everything!" "Will you marry me?" "I will marry you." She enveloped me with the same look still warmer and more lingering. I fully comprehended the power cf woman, above all law, human or natural, drawn from the fountain-head and against which nothing ought to prevail. I felt strangely happy in this equivocal adventure, and 1 could not throw off this happiness for which I reproached myself and of which I was terribly ashamed. As I was struggling with these contend irg emotions, exclamations wore heard and I saw M. Coppe reappear holding a little box. "We have the jewels and the guilty one!" he said very calmly. I had only time to hear this much and to see the livid face of the valet? ! the guilty one?when I found that Jeanne was gently urging me out on tie terrace where the shadows lay thickly. There I felt my head seized | with two hands, while two pure lips were pressed to mine, as Jeanne murmured: "The thief adores you! She has tricked you! To test your love she gave you her own jewel box!"?New York News. A MOHAMMEDAN FUNERAL. Picturesque Procession Accompanying the Remains of a Priest o Mecca. of one of the chief priests of Mecca, Before leaving the shop I had the opportunity of witnessing the funeral of one of thee hief priests of Mecca, who had died of cholera. The procession, despite the panic created by the epidemic was cf considerable length. Half a uczen mullas, intoning passages of the perspicuous Book, led the way. These were followed by twelve unkempt dervishes in quaint uniforms, reciting in unison the praises of the dead priest. Then came the rought bier peculiar to Mecca on the shoulders of ten pilgrims of as many nationalities. The son, supported by two stalwart priests and the chief mourners came next, and after them the women, about twenty in number, and a crowd of beggars who had heard that the flesh nf two camels was to he distributed among them. Every now and then, as we noticed on watching the procession pass by, the bearers would be relieveed of their burden by the most eager among the bystanders, for it is a tradition that 70,000 angels will praise the man who lends a helping hand in carrying the dead to the cemetery. A frequent cry went up of "0 Lord, may his sins be forgiven him. Praise be with Mohammed and with his people." "Ya-Maulai," said Seyyid 'Ali, "you saw how the people lend their assistance in order to win the approval cf the angels? Well, I will tell you of a clever trick pericrmed in Mecca last year by four Sunnis who had murdered a shiah in a lodging hous-1. One of the assassins was chosen by the arbitrament of the estehhareh to buy the bier and to bring it to the house where the body lay. That being clone, the mutilated corpse was laid inside by four men who, so to speak, bore the burden of their misdeed into the street. The passersby, teeing a funeral, "hastened to offer their help in carrying the corpse to its resting place. No sooner was each one of the assassins relieved than he made good his escape, so that by the time the washing house was - ? 4 ? >-- t 3 _ 11 .1: reached tne cuiprus ima an uisa-pptaied.

The least man is greater than the whole world. The pearl of patience grows in the shell of pain.. Without tale-hearors there would be no tale-bearers. Straight character cannot come out of crooked living. It sometimes takes a long time to make up a little mind. Only a small man will blame his circumstances for his size.

I THE MEN AND WOMEN [ I Who Enjoy the Choicest Products of the World's Commerce. ? Knowledge of What Is Best More Important Than Wealth Without It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are necessary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy i faculty of selecting, enjoying and learning the real worth of the choicest prod| ucts. Their commendation, consequently, becomes Important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well informed of all countries the method of i manufacture must be of the most perfect order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only, but is Especially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs, Is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality Is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and presented in the form of a pleasant and refreshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformity and purity essential in a remedy In-. . tended for family use. Ask any physician who Is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent in his profession and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the system he will tell you that it Is the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when, a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after-effects. Every well-informed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative and is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, because it gives general satisfaction, but one should remember that In order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs It is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original packages only; the name of the remedySyrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company?California Fig Syrup Co. ?printed on the front of every package, j * USE TAYLOR'S S ~ " ~ i PLEASURE ONCE.
