I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

The census bureau reports show that women wage earners are increasing in numbers. The greatest increase is in New York, and is distrib v.ted mostly in the manufacture of tobacco, cigars and cigarettes and in garment making. According to the report women are engaged in 316 of 33 9 occupations, and their number, including girls over sixteen, is upwards of 1,647,000, and their average yearly earnings $29S per capita, as against $534 per capita for men. Back to Bouquets of 1870. Brides and bridesmaids are vexed sorely by the bouquets the florists are providing for weddings, for the j bunches of blooms are a revival of J the nosegay carried by the belles of j IS70. They consist of wired roses 1 and green sprays, tied together and ] bundled about with a paper coat, : edged with lace. When one beholds 1 an arrangement of that sort, one ap- J preciates the beauties of the up-todate bouquet. What could ds more graceful than the "shower" of roses, orchids, violets or lilies of the val- , ley? The reinstatement of the bou- 1 quet of forty years ago gives rise to j the torturing fear that crinoline may "come i:\" after all.?New York 5 Press. Overwrought Nerves Make Trouble. A doctor expresses the opinion that 1 nine times out of ten the woman who nags is tired. One time out of ten { she is hateful. Times out of mind j her husband is to blame. Women may think they are only tired, but j in fact, they are ill. In such cases the woman often suf- , fers more from her nagging than her husband or the children with whom she finds fault. The condition is usu- ! ally brought on by broken sleep, improper food, want of some other exer- * cise than housekeeping, and enough ' of out-of-door air and practical ob- ( jective thinking.

The Husband's Jokes. If you want to help the man you are going to marry to be strong and true show him that you believe he ' has every good quality. You will raise his own self respect and bring him to the level you tell him he occupies. And don't make the mistake of thinking it is all going to be paradise. You are going to marry a man who will come home tried, cross and fagged, and he won't find relief for all his trials in a caress and a few tender words, as he did before marriage, when they were more of a novelty. He would rather have his dinner, though he may not confess it. When he has been fed and comforted, however, he will be ready for this tenderness, and the fact that he did not feel demonstrative when his stomach was empty will be no sign that he is not still in love, says Woman's Life. Believe in the mar. you take as your life's partner; oe genue wan him, don't contradict him when he is tired; let him think he is having his own way in his own house; feed him with what he likes and laugh at his jokes. Herein lies the secret of a happy home. Long and Short Waists?Which? What in the beginning of the season was called by a leading dressmaker the "war between the high -v"'i ' - m- ^ ~X : - x4* v. r . and low waist line" has been practically settled by this midseason, by arbitration which involves concession from both sides, but with honors to each, says the fashion editor of Harper's Bazar. Those designers who take their cues from Paris continue to bring out charming long tight fitting garments; while the others, equally loyal to the word that comes forth from Vienna, cling to the short waisted and loosish effects in coats and gowns. The first are producing new long coats that fit closely to the figure in the back, fasten with three buttons only in the centre of the upper front, these Let close together, while the lower portions of the coat are open. The second are developing the short bolero jacket, with seamless back and full three-quarter length sleeves. The result of this rivalry is a diversity unparalleled in many years. On only two points do the two schools fully agree: sleeves must be short and the corset made to meet or to further their plans. Correct Morning Dress. "The sign manual of correct morning dress is its simplicity, even in tiigh class gowns. The skirt designed for morning wear is short enough to avoid all danger of contamination from the pavement. This calls for footwear that is well cut, and free from the least suspicion of shabbiless. "The material chosen for morning iress is woolen. Tweeds are used, also serge and plaided cloth. The :rimmings are straps and bands, stiff, narrow pleatings, flat braids, pliable leather and hand embroidery and ^raiding in conventional designs, rhe colors reflect the rich autumn ;ints. Wine and sherry shades, for ?st green and bronze, and tbe warm aues of the dahlia and petunia are ;een in plain material and in checks ind plaids, to be made up separately )r in combination. "Among the accessories of morning dress are belts of Persian leather, embroidered suede, and studded elastic. Pique gloves add to the workmanlike' air the morning frock af even the lady of leisure must now issume. Linen shirts continue to be svorn, but with the advent of cold fveather, fine *.iannel blouses and waists of plain, checked and plaided :affeta will make their appearance." ?Helen Berkeley Llcyd, in the Delineator. Troubles of a Mountain Climber. In Harper's Miss Annie S. Peck, Lhe well known mountain climber, :ells of her attempt to ascend Mount Huascaran in Peru. Her account of aer outfit is interesting: "I had thought excellent of my [)lan of having a little tent all to aayself, but it did not so prove," says Miss Peck. "At the door it was barely five feet high, sloping to the other snd. It was just wide enough for my sleeping bag. To move about inside was impossible. I had to sit lown and arrange my apparel as best [ could. In the middle of the day it was very warm, but extremely cold it night. I already had on three suits of woolen underwear, two pairs stockings, and vicuna fur socks; but the latter were damp, so I removed them for an extra pair of stockings. T^o sit in cramped quarters, take off high laced boots, change stockings, put on Eskimo trousers, 5et out m? toilet articles, cold cream, witch hazel, Japanese stoves, when already half dead with fatigue and stiff with the cold?well, it was the hardest kind of labor. Every few minutes I was obliged to rest from exhaustion., I could not do half that [ wished; when I tried to sleep it proved in vain. Cold I was, too, especially my nose. A vicuna fur glove at length served as protection. I had more clothing, but to get out my bag and put it on seemed impossible." Miss Pritchlyn and One of Her Hens. Much has been made in newspapers and periodicals of the- wonderful studies of Prof. Garner in the wilds of Africa in learning to understand the speech of the monkey . tribe. Washington is talking just now about a slip of a girl, half Indian, who has taken -to raising poultry with great success, and goes out into the back yard daily and holds converse with her chickens. She has a way of talking "chicken talk" to them. They seem to know and understand it, flying upon her head and shoulders and scampering beneath her feet, and af ter the iasmon or rowis maunesui:^ their regard for their mistress. The young woman, who is still a girl, is Miss Sophia Pritchlyn. S f? lives here, but is the daughter ot a celebrated Choctaw chief, Peter Pritchlyn, who long represented his tribe in Washington, and who.married here a Washington belie. Miss Pritchlyn began raising poultry about three years ago. She now has a f.ock of about 100 fowl3 and raises from 400 to 500 a year. Miss Pritchlyn declares many of her chickens understand her talk. She considers, too, that she is able to read their natures and comprehend their wants from their actions and the sounds they utter. Miss Pritchlyn has taken no end of prizes with her poultry, and she is planning to enter the annual exhibition of the Columbia Poultry and Pigeon Association, which will be held here this ?"eek, with a large number of ancy fowis.?Washington correspondent of the xs'ew York Clobe. .... * - -.V ' * ',! '>:$$? A Legend of Ireland. By BOLTOX HAI L. There was a King in Billigoland in the old days that had three sons, and fine lusty fellows they were. Now, one day the three fell disputing as to which of them should be king when their father was dead; and from words the7 came to blows, till they were all black and blue. After they had hammered the fight out of one another, they agreed to leave the matter to their father. But the old man had seen before how referees fare at the baseball games, and he would not decide: so they fell to fighting again till they had hammered some sense into one another, and then agreed that each was to go his way for three years and learn what business he liked, and when they should return the father was to try them, and the best man was to have the Kingdom. After three years they met again, and the father said to the youngest, "What have you learned?" And he said. "I've learned to be a farmer." "Let's see you raise two crops for your brothers," said the King. So he raised two crops with half the labor and twice the produce as any man's in Ireland. "Very good!" said the King. "You have the difference for your reward." "And what have you learned?" he said to the second. "I've learned to be a carpenter." "Let's see you make two houses for your brothers," said the King. So he made two houses half as dear and twice as good as any man's in Ireland. "Very good," said the King. "You have the difference for your reward; but if your brother is as good as you two, I can't decide after all." "And what have you learned," he said to the oldest. "I've learned to be a landlord," he said. "Let's see you make two leases for your brothers," said the King. So he made two leases, and he raised the rents twice as much and made the plots half as big as any man's in Ireland. "Faith," said the old man, "Now I don't have to decide at all, for < you're the King already."?Puck. London's Health. During, the year 1905, compared! with the decennium 1S91-1900, there has been a saving of 19,584 lives, representing a gain to the community of 757,016 years of life capital. There has been a continued fall in the London death rate, which is now nearly thirty per cent, lower than at the coming into operation of the Public Health (London) act, 1891. Out of a population of .4,684,794 the actual number of deaths during the year was 70,442, or 1J>.1 per 1000. In 1841-50 the rate was 24.8, and in 1S91 17.1. Both marriage and birth rates of London are decreasing, touching the lowest on record in 1905. The death rate from consumption is one-half that of forty years ago. A vagancy census taken on the night of February 17 revealed 1869 men and 312 women sleeping in the streets, in staircases or under arches. On the same night 23,690 persons slept in common lodging houses and shelters. It is exceptional to find children who use a tooth brush. Among 1000 children were found two who did.

The mystery which has so long shrouded certain important facts in the life history of the eel are being gradually cleared up. It is now some time since a group of small-headed transparent and ribbon-shaped fish, named by naturalists Leptocephalia, were identified as the young of various species of eel. Among these Italian naturalists recognized the one named Leptocephalus brevirostris as the young of the common eel. It was further determined that eels spawn in the Mediterranean in comparatively deep and warm water. The most recent information as to the spawning place of the eel is to be found in the journal of the Marine Biological Association. Drs. Schmidt and Petersen. of the International Fisheries In yestigation Association, have found quantities of "Leptocephali," or young eels, in the depths of the Atlantic. They conclude that eels spawn in deep and relatively warm water northwest and west of Scotland. Free Alcohol Stimulates Agriculture. Although the United States is a vastly larger'country than Germany, we raised a potato crop in 1905 of only 260,741,294 bushels, as compared with the potato crop of 1,775,579,073 bushels which Germany raised. These bushels were of 3ixty pounds each. The explanation of so immense a production of potatoes by Germany is found in the fact that the free distillation of alcohol for use in the arts has been a powerful stimulus to farm industry. Farming in some districts of the empire has been made possible only because of the ability of the people to produce cheap alcohol, and many farms owe their very existence to their distilleries. Not only hnSv^ree alcohol been a stimulus to agriculture, but it has been of incalculable value in many lines of commercial development, and has added greatly in raising Germany to her present industrial station.?

He was so busy with his practice,however, that his wife had to write : 7^ how he fooled his brother, a clergyman, one day at dinner. She says: ^ > "Doctor found coffee was injuring x him and decided to give' Postum a trial, and we have used it notf for four years with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of ills that follow coffee drink- - ; ing. "To show how successful we are in making Postum properly, I will relate > an incident. At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we serve Pos- h i tum^instead of ordinary coffee; "Doctor's brother, a clergyman, supposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as he called for his second cup, 'If you do preach against coffee I see you haven't forgotten how to make it.'" This goes to show that well-made *5 ?fully boiled?Postum has much the r'j flavor and richness of good coffee although It has an Individuality all its own. A ten days' trial will prove that it has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee but will correct the ; * troubles caused by coffee. "There's a reason." Name furnished by Pos. Hich,
