Entertainment at Cooper-Limestone. On the evening of June the sixth, the Elocution class of Cooper-Lime stone Institute will present to the public “Readings and Scenes from David Copperfleld" as arranged by James Ella Selmun. Miss Selmun In her introduction says: “This arrangement of Dlcken’s favorite novel, David Copperfiela, is the outgrowth of a deeply felt need, that the public exercises of our school should combine the elements of true literary und popular taste. Good literary taste is essential for the cul ture of the pupils themselves, for the entertainment of the cultured friends of the institution, and for the in struction of the uneducated. But popular taste should not be disre garded, as it often happens that in deep sympathy with the joys and sorrow of humanity lies not only much of the success of the enter tainment, but also much of the cul ture of the pupil. Heart culture must go hand in hand with head cul ture in true expression-work. It is believed that ‘David Copperfield’ combines perfectly these elements of literature and popularity.” Believing that the entertainment will prove more interesting and en joyable to those familiar with the story we make this announcement in order that those v ho anticipate at tending may prepare themselves for enjoying to the fullest extent the evening’s exercises by reading the novel.

WOMAN’S WORK. An apt old adage de clares that woman’s work is never done. This is tni« of the housewife’s manifold du ties and ap proximately true of the thousands who work day in.facto*, ies andstoies and half the night i a making eo4 in e n d 1 n g thair clothes or smrin* for others to patch out a meagre income. Women who are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the attfntfr of 9vter>-werk and worry, are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of ■womankind. The symptoms of such derangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, neu ralgia, leucon hcea, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in many cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy sicians are painful and unpleasant.
