OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
Che Was Told That an Operation Wae
Inevitable How She Escaped It
When a physician tel's a woman suffering
with ovarian or woinb trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
??H1? terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.
There are cases whore an operation
is the only resource, but when one coneiders
the great number of cases of
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trvin 8f the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass , for advice, which is free.
Miss MargTct Merkley of 275 Third
8treet, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
Dear Mrs. "Pinkham:?
"Lorn of strength, extreme nervousness '
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing oovn pains and cramps compelled j
die to s?k medical advice. The doctor, after i
an examination, said I had ovarian
trouble and ulceration and advised an operation.
To this I strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. PirkhanYs Vegetable Com- |
pound. "The ulceration quickly healed, all |
the i?il symptoms disappeared and I am
ance more strong, vigorous and well"
Ovarian and womb troubles are steadily
on the increase aruoug women. If
the monthly periods arc very painful,
or too frequent and excessive?if you
have pain or swelling low down fti the ,

to bad eonipany. and bad
company leads to all kinds of badness.
I hope you don't spend your time at the
tavern?"
"Son David." a broad-shouldered sixfooter.
smiled a little, and coIokhI a
great deal at these words, whieh\:ere
delivered with a precision and a^lemnity
of look and tone that nnrae
them doubly impressive.
"There's no occasion for any alarm,
father: I keep very good company.
And as for the tavern. I haven't set
foot in it for six months or more."
About the usual hour. David laid
aside his book, and putting on a clean
collar and a linen coat, fresh front the
hands of Aunt Betsey, sauntered down
toward the village. This had been his
custom for several weeks past, and the
old deacon shook his head with a perplexed
and somewhat troubled air.
"I suppose the lad finds it rather dull
here," he mused: "the house is lonely."
And, as he recalled tin; light of a
certain bright eve and a sunnv smile.
what he had thought of doing "for the
sake of David" seemed a not unpleasant
thing to do for his own.
"I think I'll go and consult Parson
Duulow," thought the deacon, who. like
the generality of mankind, having fully
made up his mind on the subject, determined
to seek advice, not for the
purpose of gaining any additional light,
but to strengthen and confirm his own
opinions.
The worthy deacon bestowed quite as
much time upon his toilet before leaving
the house as did "Sou David." And
if a glimpse of the sprinkling of gray
in the hair that he brushed so carefully
away from his temples made him somewhat
doubtful as to the result of his
mission, it was but for a moment.
Ought not any woman to be proud of
the honor of becoming Mrs. Deacon
Quimby, wite of one of the most
wealthy and influential citizens of the
place, even though his hair might be
a little frosty and his form not so erect
as when he departed on the selfsame
errand thirty years before.
In the weekly prayer meetings, of
which he took the lead, the deacon
often called himself "the chief of sinners."
"an unprofitable servant." and
the like, confessing and bewailing the
depravity 01 ins iiean. nuu imt- a
great many other self-styled "miserable
sinners," he hud a tolerably good
opinion of himself after all. making
the above confession with an air that
seemed to say: "If I. Deacon Quimhy.
a pillar of the church, and a shining
example to you all. can say this, what
must be the condition of the majority
of those around me?"
He found Parson Dunlow in his
study, hard at work upon his next Sunday's
discourse. But he was used to
interruptions, and had a sincere liking
for the worthy deacon, who was his
right-hand man in every good work: so,
laying down his pen. he shook him
warmly by the hand and bade him be
seated.
_.But somehow the deacon found it
difficult to get out what he came to
say?the words seemed to stick in his
throat. But at last he managed to
stammer:
"I?I have called, parson, to?to see
you about my son. David, whose conduct
has occasioned me a great deal
of uneasiness of late."
"You surprise me. Brother Quimby:
I consider him to be an unusually
steady and exemplary young man."
"He has been, parson, very steady
Indeed?at home every evening, -busy
with his book or paper. But now he's
out most every night, and sometimes
don't return until quite late."
A faint smile flickered around Parson
Dunlow's mouth, but ? was unobserved
by the deacon, who resumed:
"The fact is, the boy * wants ft
mother."
"He wants a wife, you mean." was
the parson's inward comment, but lie
said nothing, for he hadn't tilled his
sacred office a quarter of a century
without learning that some things arc
better thought than spoken.
"It is a very important step." resumed
Deacon Quiinby, after waiting
vainly for the parson to speak, "and?
and as I think of taking to myselt
another companion for?for the sake ol
David, I thought I would come and?
and consult you about it."
Here tlv deacoin wiped the perspira
tion from his forehead, betraying sc
j much hesitancy and embarrassment as
J to quite astonish the good parson, who
I to reassure him, said briskly:
I "To be sure, Brother Quimby. And r
! very good idea it is, too, for yourself
j and, no doubt, for your son. David
| And I shall be very glad to assist yo\
j in the matter. There are many verj

ity, so that you cannot fail to be suited
There's the Widow Bean; her sons ar<
now men grown and quite off Jie:
bauds. A most excellent and worthy
woman is the Widow Bean."
But the deacon did not seem to re
ceive his suggestion with much favor
he shifted one leg uneasily over th
other.
"As you say, parson, the Widow Beai
isn most excellent and worthy woman
but?but the leadings of Providenc
d6U't seem to be in that direction."

at liberty, and .Mil make you a very ;
desirable helpmate."
"True, yery true, parson; I have the J
highest resjiect for Sister Pease. Hutbut
the leadings fof Providence don't
seem to be in that direction, either."
The good parson looked puzzled, but,
honestly desirous of assisting his visitor.
he'made another effort.
"Brother Jones has a number of |
daughters, and either of the two eldest I
would be "
"Yes. yes. parson,"' interrupted tbe
deacon, rather impatiently. "I know
that very well. But I think that?that,
for the sake of David. I had better
marry some one younger and more
lively, and who would consequently ;
be more of a?sort of companion for
him."
A sudden light broke in upon Parson
Dunlow's mind.
"Perhaps you have some one already
in view. Brother Quimby?"
"Well, yes, parson. I have sought
Divine light, and the leadings of Providence
seem to be in the direction of
your family: in short, toward your
daughter, Miss Emma, whose staid
and discreet behavior, I am happy to
say. would do honor to more mature
years."
It was not the first time, in Parson
Dunlow's pastoral experience, that he
had known people to mistake the leading
of their own hearts for "the leadings
of Providence," but if ho had any
suspicion that this might be the case
with the worthy deacon, he prudently
kept it to himself. Sg. without evincing
anything of the dismay and consternation
at his heart, he said:
"I cannot fail to realize. Brother
Quimby, the high compliment of suclg
a desire. But you remember the wordJI
of Rebekah's parents under like cir
cumstances: 'We will call the damsel
and inquire at her mouth.' I don't
know that we can do better than follow
their example.
"Willie." he added. going to the window.
"run and tell Emma that father
wants to see her In his study."
"She's dot company," said the little
fellow; "and is doing to dire me a new
ball If I'll stay out in the yard."
"No matter." said his father, smiling;
"you shall not lose the new ball. So
run along."
Miss Emma, though very pleasantly
engaged, dutifully obeyed her father's
summons. She blushed as her eyes fell
upon the deacon, to whom she dropped
a pretty, deferential courtesy.
"My daughter." said the parson,
gravely, "Deacon Quimby informs me
that, for the sake of David, he has concluded
to take to himself another wife,
and that his choice has fallen upon you.
I have ever left such matters to you,
but you cannot fail to realize the value
of such an offer, and I trust you will
give it the consideration it demands."
Km ma opened her brown eyes widely
at this announcement, and then the
long lashes fell over thpm, and iay
quivering upon the rosy cheeks. But,
unexpected* as was the position in
which she found herself placed, her
woman's wit did not desert her.
"I should be very happy to become
Deacon Quimby' wife, papa," she said,
demurely, "if I had not already promised,
for the sake of David, to do ray
best to be a daughter to him."
Deacon Quimby was so accustomed
to consider his son as a mere boy that
it was some minmes before his mind
took In the sense of these words.
"Do you mean to say. Miss Emma,"
he said, at last, regarding the blushing
girl with a bewildered air. "that you
are going to marry my son?"
"With your permission, sir," responded
Emma, with a smile and glance
that would have softened a far harder
heart than the deacon's. "I have alfrndy
obtained that of my father."
Deacon Quimby turned his eyes upon
j Mr. Dunlow, who bad been a quiet but
Interested/listener to this.
'Why. David is nothing but a boy,
' parson!"
"lie is a year older than you were
when you married, deacon," was the
smiling response.
True; so he was.
"I dare say it does not seem poss.

hardly bring myself to realize that It

As ibe good deacon looked at the
blooming maiden, and remembered how
1 often he bad held her, a smiling babe
5 in his arms, the conviction was sud>
denly forced ujpon him that that he had
been makingold fool of himself.

EFFACING WEATHER STAINS.
It is quite easy to remove the ugly
green marks caused by damp on stone,
tile and brick floors and steps, all that
is necessary being a good scrubbing
with water in which a small quantity
of chloride of lime has been dissolved.
SILVER CLEANER.
Dissolve one ounce of powdered
borax in half a pint of boiling water.
When cold. pour it on four ounces of
precipitated chalk, and bent until
smooth. Add thirty drops of ammonia
and one gill of alcohol and bottle.
Shake well before using.
FOR A WALNUT STAIN.
To make walnut stain for floors, take
i?ne quart of water, one and a half
mnces of washing soda, two and a half
ounces of vandyke brown and a quarter
of an ounce of bicarbonate of potash.
Boil foo- ten minutes and apply
with a brush. This stain may be used
either hot or cold.
TO MAKE STARCH.
A good old-time housewife offers the
following rule for starch: Mix one
tablespoonful of starch with four tablespftmfuls
of cold water and pour on
t? three quarts of boiling water.
Boil for twenty minutes. Then add one
'teaspoouful of salt and a piece of paralfine
wax half the size of a nutmeg.
Stir until the wax is dissolved, then
cool and strain through cheesecloth.
To add lustre, soak the articles in this
preparation for six hours.
A PILLOW HINT.
Pillows wear out, just like anything
elsp, says a housekeeping authority,
even though one may change the tick
covering from time to time: the feathers
become impregnated with dust and
dirt and lose the life that is in all good
feathers at first. Then, too, years ago
feathers were not prepared, nor pillows
made according to the scientific methods
that now obtain. A pair of feather
pillows bought to-day of a reliable
firm, are not at all like the feather pillows
of our grandmother's day, as one
soon finds, and it would be wise for
many a housewife to go through her
bed chambers and place new pillows
on every bed. renovating the feathers
in the old pillows, perhaps, but using
them for filling sofa pillows, for which
purpose they do very well, but not for
affording comfortable rest and sleep at
night.
DON'T PROCRASTINATE.
To the woman who would be up with
her work. I say, don't leave your dishes
unwashed, and don't leave your washing
until the last of the week. I know
women who most always do this, and it
seems their whole household interior
is a drag. It seems to me so much
better, says a writer In the Florida
Agriculturist, to have the washing and
ironing done the first of the week; it
makes the week longer, seemingly, for
other work, and oh, the horrors of
ironing on a Saturday, when one always
has baking and scrubbing and
general cleaning up to do.
I once knew a woman who alway?
left her breakfast dishes unwashed un
Ill 811P liliu Binnvu a uic iv gci umuvi.
Then her dinner dishes were left likewise
nntil supper and her supper dishes
till the next morning.
It seems to me if I were to begin
the day's work with a pile of dirty
dishes, well dried and stuck, everything
would go wrong all day. Recently a
lady told me she had not washed a
dish for a whole day, and early th<
next morning her husband told her he
was suddenly called away on business
and that she had to go with him. J
Imagine going away to spend several j
days, which they did, without enough
time given her to wash those dishes.
Scarcely anything will tempt me tc
leave my dishes. I have seen such
kitchens, and I think I know whereol
I speak when I say the woman whe
leaves her dishes unwashed is gen or-''y
behind with her work.

xf., 3^-45?Golden Text, John xl., 25.
Memofj Vereea. 33-30?^Commentar
on theU>?y'a LeMon,
I. The meeting of Jesus and Mar]
(v. 32). 3jL "When Mary was come.'
Martha flrsVheard that Jesus was coin
ing, and, wnbout notifying Mary, shi
went to meet Jesus Just outside tin
village. She greeted Him with thost
words of sorrowful despair?"Lord, 1
Thou hadst been here my brother hat
not died." But even then there was i
dawn of hope In her heart, from hei
experience of the power of Jesus
Jesus replied with the assurance tha
He was "the resurrection and the life.'
and prepared her for the great worl
He was about to do. "If Thou hads
been here." These words express th<
very essence of soul torture at sucl
tiroes. In onr affliction we contlnuallj
echo the if of these sisters, saying t<
ourselves, if we had not done this, oi
if we had not done that, or if it hat
not been for our blunder, or that of oui
friends, or that of our physician, oui
l>eIoved would not have died. But reac
verse 4 of this chapter.
II. Christ's compassion (vs. 33-37)
33. "Groaned in the spirit." This is t
strange term and is better rendered bj
the margin of the Revised Versioti"was
moved with indignation in tin
spirit." Jesus was indignant at the
hypocritical and sentimental lamenta
tious of His enemies, the Jews, ming
ling with the heartfelt sorrow of Hii
loving friend Mary. These self-right
eous Jews, now weeping and groinin;
in professional sorrow with Mary wert
men who would soon be plotting t<
kill, r.ot only Jesus, but the restorer
Lazarus (compare chap. 12:10). "Wat
troubled." "Troubled Himself."Marg..
It. V. Probably the meaning it
that He allowed His deep emotion tc
become evident to bystanders. 34
"Where?laid him." A question ad
dressed to and answered by the sisters
35. "Jesus wept." Here the blessed
Jesus shows Himself to be truly man;
and a man, too, who, notwithstanding
His amazing dignity and excellence,
did not feel it beneath Him to sympathize
with the distressed and to
weep with those who wept. After
this example of our Lord shall we say
that it Is weakness, folly and sin tc
weep ror ine jobs oi relative*: on.
"IIow He loved him." A spontaneous
testimony from those Jews of the tenderness
of the Son of God.
37. "Could not this man." The miracle
of the blind man was referred to
because it was of recent occurrence,
and in the immediate neighborhood,
while the two previous miracles of
raising the dead (Luke 7:11-17; 8:41-50)
were performed in distant Galilee,
about one year and a half before. Several
leading commentators think that
these Jews were unbelieving and now
refer to the healing of the blind man
in a deriding manner, suggesting that
if He could have done that, then He
could have kept Lazarus alive, and
real love would have prompted Him
to do it if H? bad power.
III. Words of comfort (vs. 38-40). 38.
"Again groaning." Because of the unbelief
of the Jews. We never And
Him in as much grief over His own
sufferings as over the sins of men.
"Cometh to the grave." Lazarus was,
as became bis station, not laid in a
cemetery, but in his own private tomb
in a cave.
39. "Take ye away the stone."
That which could be done by human
hand she orders to be done. He would
have the bystanders see that Lazarus
was actually dead. "He sinketh."
Seeming to forget what Jesus had
said to her when she met Him, Martha
now thinks only of the condition ol
her brother's body and objects. Th?
idea of an immediate resurrection doei
not seem to have occurred to her.
40. "If thou wouldst believe." So
we see that if these sisters had not
possessed hearts of faith, a willingness
to believe and obey Christ, this
miracle could not lmve taken place.
14* + H lUm o a tho rncnprttoflnr

and the life, then why doubt when He
is near? "Glory of God." Such a
revelation of God's power as shall disclose
His glory.
IV. Lazarus raised to life (vs. 41-45),
41. "Took away the stone." Martba'i
faith must have rallied and she gave
way to Jesus' request. They had &c
coniplished all in their power wher
the stone was removed. Jesus now
began His part. "Lifted up His eyes.'
Au outwjn-d expression of the eleva
tiati *jz VTiS uniiu ana lb" sUovt then
who stood by from whence He de'lvec
His power. He lifted up His eyes at
looking beyoud the grave and over
looking the difficulties that arose
thence.
42. "Thou hast sent Me." Not t<
destroy men's lives, but to save them
Moses, to show that God s-mt him
made the earth open and swallow met
up (Num. 10:29, 30), for the law was i
dispensation of terror; but Chris
proves His mission by raising to lift
one that was dead. 43. "Loud'voice.'
He did not whisper nor mutter as die
the magicians. It was the type of tha
voice like the sound of many water!
(Rev. 1:15), at which all who are ii
their graves shall come forth (Join
5:28; 1 Thess. 4:10). He that wept a:
a man now spoke as a God. "Lazarus.1
He calls him by name as we call thosi
by their names whom we would waki
out of sleep. This intimates that tin
same individual person that died shal
rise again at ..ie last day. 44. "Boun<
hand and foot." Probably each liral

Egyptian custom. "Loose him." H<

The Strength of Michael Angelo.
Michael Angelo relied almost ei
tirely upon form?the form of the flj
ure and of the draperies, write
Charles H. Caffln in St. Nicholas. H
told Pope Julian II., when the latte
requested him to paint the ceiling c
the Sistine chapel at Rome, that h
was not a painter, but a sculptor; ye
after he had shut himself up for for
years?from 1508 to 1512?and th
scaffold was removed, a result ha
been achieved which is without para
lei in the world. Very wonderful !
the work which Michael Angel
spread over this vast area of 10,OC
square feet. The fact that there ai
343 principal figures, many of colo
sal size, besides a great number <
others introduced for decorative e
feet, and that the creator of this va;
scheme was only 33 when he bega
his work?all this is marvelous, prod
gious, and yet not so marvelous i
j the variety of expression in the fi
ures of which Jeremiah is only or
figure, in a small side arch.
It la better to lire, one verse of t
Bible than to be able to preach abc
them all. v

What Does Christ's Life Show us

Bible Hints.
God is willing that men should dl
, come to Him in any way they can; : hi
but they eannot come except through \ la
? Christ. | th
e Many a man saw Christ in the flesh in
> that did not really see Him; and we, ! n
r If we see Him in the spirit, see Him I tc
1 as really as any man ever saw Him. w
i Christ is not jealous of His dis- ! hi
r ciples. He wants us to surpass His ! is
. i earthly works; He will be disappoint- tl
t >d if we do not. ol
' When our minds are confused by si
J the doctrine of the Trinity, we may ol
1 think of the Comforter as "Another"; G
- when we wish to get close to the Holy N
1 3Dirit. we may think of Him as | T
r Christ Himself. ti
. Suggestions. ^
I To doubt God's love is to deny
r Christ's life. i w
* As it Is impossible to think of
I Christ's holding Himself aloof from w
men. so it has become impossible to w
think of a distant God.
1 Christ did not emphasize God's
power, not because God is not pow- H
[ erful, but because His power con?
[ stantly discloses and emphasizes it* y
self. Ijj

to come to God by way of Christ.
I Christ Himself said that the Father
? was greater than He. If you look w
at the sun's image in a mirror, you gl

i It is probable that London has the at
distinction of being the only port j
where the ships lying at anchor are m
privileged to have their letters deliv- , si
ered to them by river postmen, it be* J
ing customary at other ports for sail* j Jf
ors to apply personally for their let- |''
ters unless the ship is in dock. The a
Thames is divided into two postal districts,
each under the control of a J*
river postman, who delivers letters m
and parcels every morning in a craft 4,
which resembles a fisher boat more
than anything else. Of these districts ]c
the first extends from the Custom 4,
House to Lfmehouse and the second, ui
from Limehouse to Blackwall. The J<
river postmen start on their rounds
punctually at 8 o'clock every morning, tl
and, needless to say, there is only one cr
delivery a day. The mail bag may *a
include as many as five hundred let- u
ters, but this number is largely increased
about Christmas time. As he F1
. glides from ship to ship, the postman | J
1 calls out, "Ahoy there!" and hands up j n
' the letters attached to a boathook to
the waiting crew. It only takes from p
I four to five hours to deliver the mall, ej
so that the postman does not waste e;
. much time. In foggy weather, how- JJ
i ever, it takes considerably longer, ow1
ing to the difficulties of finding the gt
< .various ships, and of steering between pi
* the large vessels as they lie at an- ci

About the Father??John 14. $^HI|
This chapter was a part of that last
iscourse of Jesus the night be/ops
Is crucifixion. We have here fne *
st utterances of the Master. While !
lere is somewhat of disconnection
i the themes of the chapter, there
ins through it all this plan: to glre
i the disciples a series of truths '
hich would be a comfort to them in
Is absence. The various relations exting
between Jesus as the Son and
te Father form the special thought
' our lesson. He has alread^^
>oken of "my Father's houses," anfl|^
the fact that if they believed iJ^H
od they should believe also in him^^H
ow, in answer to the query of flj
homas as to the way, he declareq^.^1
tat he is the Way, the Trnth, and fflPfl
le Life. Jesus is the Way to the Ww
ather, he is the Truth that reveal* |Rq
tat Father, and he is the Life which IB
>mes from the Father. Mm
A study of the verses of our lessotoHfl

Jesus is the Way to the .fatl^^Hfl
e says, 'If ye had known me^HBtf?

hat is, a knowledge of J^sus is^BF^j
aowledge of God. He is the bridge J
om man to God. He reveals the I
ather. He is an incarnation of God. I
e was the "Word." The Use of a I
ord is to interpret an idea. Jesus /B
iterprets the Father. jfl
Jesus Gorifies the Father. He vsaid!^^E
SVhatsoever you ask in my name |^^R
ill do. that the Father may b^HR
orifled in the Son." The gift
le Holy Spirit, and the adminstrativ^^H
>wer of Christ in the Church glorf^^R
s God.
Jesus is Intercessor with the^^R
ather. He stands at the right haad^^R
' God as our advocate. He prayd^^R
le Father, and the Father give* tbq^^R
oly Spirit. We must not seporat*^H|
our minds the persons of the God-^H
ad, yet there is a sense in which
?8us stands between us and God ths^H
ather as intercessor.
Jesus's Love a Guarantee of the^H
ather's. The manifestation of love to
te soul of man is a manifestation of ^Hj
le love of the Father, as well as of ^R
te Son and Holy Ghost. The life 9
' Christ, then, shows the Father as 1
dvp. answering prayer and manifest- .f
g himself to men. It reveals God ?
i just, and yet the justifler of hla J|
ho believes in Jesus Christ.
