To Our Lady Readers. Nine-tenths of the women of the world are afflictedwith some of the con.pilaits tatmi larly known as "Female listasea," or "W on:b Troubles." There is scarcely a family buthas an idolized daughter, a cheri-hed sister, or a dearly loved mother who suffer, agones that are endured in silence to protect her mccd'sty Proper treatment is postponed from month to month by dread of a ph:;sicians' humi.ia;ing eratination, or surgeon's knife. Most 01 these dangerous diset-es can be succe-fullY .reated at home, but there is wi:le- pread ig norance among even the most i:teillizent classes of women regarding their naitur.t functions and or'ans of generation. owing to so little Information having been publishett :n regard to this subject and a modesty that shrinks from investgation such a disagreea ble matter. The W:n of Cardui treatment of fema'e diseas-s cures thousands of E:;ses of this kind o: troubles every year. It can be used successfully in the privacy of tie home and is cheap and effective.

IAPIINEr ALL, angular and peculiarly plain, she was the wife of a Queensland Bush Carrier ; and it is, " : < ; I believe, an ac ; -F" - cepted fact that - ladies of that sta - tion are not noted ' ' ' either for their culture or their re finement. Craw'.iu with heavily-ladened bul I. wag7ons across plains and never en,in sernUs would not appear to be an existence possessed of many enarms, and vet I believe there is no e se on record of a man or woman who, having once served his or her ap prlesipll to the trade, has ever re turne.? to a civilized life again. Jn the Queenland Bush carrying trade, von must understand, there are three main arteries, the townships of Hu henden. Longreach and Charle ville, and from each of these places there flows continually a stream of enormous table-topped wagons, bound for stations in the Great West, ali more or less remote from what is ,enrai.y supposed to make life worth living. Te existence of the carrier is rough to a terrib!c degree, and must in no way be confounded with that of the respectable, jog-trot class who ply their trade in English rural districts. Small wonder that the women grow to be hard and rough, consorting, as they do, with none but the sternest of the opposite sex, and daily dloing work that would test the patience and en durance of the strongest man. These are some of the folk who in reality do the bilding up of our colonies, al though the credit goes to another noisier, uglier and far less useful class. U ut to get back to my story. As I have said at the bcginning, she was iali, angular and peculiarly plain, and, in spite of the glaring incongruity of it, it must bc recorded that her Ibaptismal name was Daphne. Her husband was a carrier on the Hid geLrse-Kalaba trach, and she was at once the brain and the mainstay of his IMy 1irst acquaintance with them occurred ou the edge o f a Boree scrub, a dismal place, and more than a han dred ies removed from either of the above townships. They were eamnped bieside abig water hole, and on dis mounting froma my horse I was intro dneed by the carrier, with becomlig ceremony, to his wife. Great were the proofs of friendship they showe,d to me, and long will I cherish the memory of that rough but hearty hos pitality. Next morning I went my way, thev theirs, and it was not for nearly a year that we met again. Wueu next I hearda of them, Daphne was in the township hospital, recover ing from a. serious accident occasioned ba fall from the wagon; and her husband, an enormously built man, mt roug;h manner, which, by those uuskilledm in sneh matter. might easily have been rmistanken for insolence, had thast very day returned with loading from the west. By inquiring after his wi'', whose illness I was aware of, I touched the right string; for his eyes lit up, his voice softened and he an swered my questions with surprising "Sh was getting on well,'' he sal2. '1but all the same, it was temrble slow I w, it must be known here that althuough the Kalaba Hospital occupies the best position in the township, even theu" it in, if anythi ng, a little less cheerful than an undertaicer's show rome. Great gray plains surround it ont thre ides; the townsi,ip, with its ugly whnit ewashed roofs, stares at it from the fourth ; an-l it would be i possible to say which view would be ikely to have the most depressing e et upon an invalid. I am told that K's ala was only designed as a depot - or the Great West. and I contole my self with the reflection that in the very near future the Overland Riailway will obviate that necessity, and then it will be scattered to the four wintm of heaven. At p)resent it is the Deca 'ogue tur ned backward. W~Xhern my business was finished I tod1e up to thle hosp'ital and left some newspapers. Daphne betng the only patient, I found her occupying the best bed in the only ward. Her wiry bhekt ';air traggled in rank confnsion *bo"t the ii!ow, while her complecx ion hmonized,. as well as a well ta''ned skin woubd permit, with the ding whitene:s of the counterpane.

D)eath in AwIiul Form. A crowd of nearly a thousand people wthed a man drown in Los Angeles to ay and was powerless to help him. Ri aewas Thomas Reynclds, and ne wvas a laborer for a sewer building on Los Angeles street. near Boyd. Th scene was the most agonizing that can he imagined. At about .9 o'clock Reynolds was working in a new sewer that is build ing directly underneath an old brick one. The grouind is roft there and Reynolds was caught by a small cave i. His legs were pi nioned by the falling earth, but no one thought his situation serious. A rooc was mnade fast to him and an attempt was made to pull him out, but his shovel had fallen across his feet, and it was soon ~een that he would have to be dug out. The work was at once begun. Suid denly, to the horror of the great crowl that had assembleri, the old bricc sewer right over the wretched man's head burst and a l.arge stream of water owed into the excavation, gradually driving the reseners out. A fira engine was sent for, and attempted to pump the inflow of water cut, but it proved of no avail. The man was doomed and nothing could be cdone for him. He was up right in the hole and the water soon reached his waist. For the first time he realized that he would die. Inch by inch the fluid rose, and the poor fellow lost his nerve and commenced to utter the most heartrendering shrieks and appeals for help. -The streets became blocked with people, and as the news spread of what was going on in that hole the crowd be ae frantic with a desire to save the man. But absolutely nothing could be done to succor him. The water reached the throat, then the chin, thea a ripple struck his lips. The watchers at the brink of the hole tured their faces away and groaned as a last despairing shriek came from the victim. His arms beat the water back frantically and then Mwe still.--San Francisco Examiner. An Interesting Experiment. A German publication gives the fol lowing directions for performing a very amusing and interesting experi met: ''Take a lighted stearin candle and hold it horizontally over a wide glass filled with water. The drops of meltea stearin, when they strike the surface of the cold water. will be formed into hemispherical cups and float on the water. These forms often take the shape of the flower of the common Maybell, and can be made smauller or larger, as pleases, by drop ping the melted stearin :from a less or a greater height. When a sufficient number of such bells have been made, take a slender iron wire and cut it into sections, of which one end is curved, then warm the straight end of each by holding it in a flame and thrust it through one of the wax bells so that the wire passes quite throg.igh the bell, leaving it hanging at the crved end, where it rempins fixed when cool, looking strikingly like the Maybell flower when the wire is held curved end upward. In the eame way all the hemispherical cups are treated, and finally the single flowers are com bincd by' twisting together the wire siems, when they may be arranged in a vse.

She gave a little sigh before she re plied. "'m neatly well, now, Bill; bet ter'n I 'ave been by a long chalk. Sit ye down, old man, and tell ne 'ow it it goes with the children an.' the team !" Bill sat very gingerly on the edge of the bed, and ks if out of compliment to the peculiar cleanliness of the place, fell to scrubbing his face with a flar ing red cotton handkerchief. "The kids is :?, and the team's first olass:" he answered. Then with a gesture of almost awe, he assumed possession of one of the thin brown hands upon the coverlet. "My lass, 'ow dog poor yer 'ands has got, to be sure; but they was al ways pretty 'ands to my thinkin'." Daphne patted his great brown paws and allowed a little wan smile of grati fied vanity to flicker across her face. Let the woman be ever so old and plain, shs is never beyond the reach of a compliment from the man she loves. "An' 'ow's the roads lookin' out back?" she asked. "Al, an' no mistake; green as a lel all the way.

Out of the lining of his big cabbage tree hat he took a tiny bunch of Bush bluebells and placed them in her hand. It was a critical moment for both of them. He was acutely afraid of ridi cule ; she, for some reason she could not have explainecl, did not know whether to laugh or cry. She laid the flowers on the table by her bedside, and then turne-l to her husband, the better to express her thanks. "Bill," she said softly. "you was alis a good chap to me !'. "Nay, nay, my laCs, you nusti 'f say that. You don't know 'ow w0 misses yer out yonder ; things ain't the same at all without yu. 1tke 'aste an' get well un' come back to the 'i-lc an' me, au' let's get out of this 'ere town." "Bill! 1 shan't ha--" '"Shan't be what, lass?" He looked rather anxiously down at ;-er. "I shan't be-" The weak voice paused as if to think of a word, then ec seemed to choke, and ::fter that a painful silence ensued. Finally she said: "I--I shan't be long." Bill gave a sigh of r:;iei and coa tinued: "I'm 'avin' new tires put on tc forewbeels, an' we've got the new pair o' steers in place o' Biilabong au' Blossom that were too oi-l fo; work.

It's like what the parson, who comes here every Monday, calls poetry !" There was an ocean of pathos in the~ man's reply: "Yer see, old girl, I must talk a bit different, for yer ain't never been ill like this afore !" Another long silence fell upon the pair. Then he rose to say goodlby, and his wife's face grew, if possible, paler than before. "'Bill!" she began falterin;ly, "'ve been a-tryin' all tac timie yer've been here to tell yer somethin', but I dun no how to begin. It's this way-" "Out wi' it, my less. What's wrong ? Ain't they been a-treatin' yer well i ":It's not that, Bill," she answered, "But there-I can't tell you. Flesh and blood couldn't, let alone yer wife. You must just ask the doctor, when yer get outside, if 'e's got anythin' to my agin' me wailin' with the team, will yer?' "If yer says so. in course. But, Daphne, there ain't nothin' agi'n it, is there?" "You ax him; 'e'll tell yet, Bill. But 'ere's the matron comin'; I guess yer'd better be goin'. Tell them kid dies their mother ain't forgot 'em !" Raising herself with an effort, she pulled the big man's tangled hes..1 down to her, and lkissed him on the forehead with a gentleness that would have been grotesque, if the sentiment that prompted it had not been so grewsomely pathetic. Then, ats the matron approached the bed, he went down the corridor to find the house surgeon. The latter, I may tell you. was a rough man, embittered by hard work and insufficient returns ; the position of house surgeon in a Bush hospital being but little sought after by the shini,g lights of the profession. When Daphne's husbaud entered he was engaged writing to the Board, de manding for the sixth time, an in rease in his meagre salary. He looked up, and, seeing the man before him, said roughly: ''Well, what do you want?" The carrier shuffled from one foot "Beg yer pardin, sir. an' sorry for interruptin'; but the missu.s axed me to ax you if it were likely yer'd have any objection to 'er walkia' alongside the team when she comes out?" "Whose missus?-Oh! I under stand; the woman in the ward there. Walk beside the team? Good heav ens, man! What are you talking hot ? Are you mad? How on earth can she walk beside the team?" "I mean, in course, sir, when she's well enough to come out." "Well enough to come out? Why, man alive ! she's as well now ss ever she will be.
