What suffering frequently resnlta from a mother’s Ignorance; or more ; frequently from a mother’s neglect to properly instruct her daughter 1 Tradition say s “woman mustsnffcr,” and young women Are so taught. There Is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration In this. If a young woman suffers severely Bhe needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets It. Hatty mothers hesitate to take their caughtcrs to a physician for examina tion; hut no mother need hesitate to write freely about hor daughter or herself to Mrs. Plnklmm and sectiro the most efilcicnt advice without charge. Mrs. Plnkham’B address Is Lynn, Mass. Tho following letter from Miss Marie V. JornooN, Ccntrslia, Pa., shows what negloat will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkhom helped her: “My health beeamo so poor that I had to leave school. I was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains In my side and back. 1 was also troubled with Irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends beeamo alarmed. My mother, who is a firm bcllovor In your remedies from experience, thought per haps tlioy might benefit mo, and wrote you *>r advice. I followed tho advice you gavo, and used Lydia E. l’lnkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was.

Admiral Dewey has forwarded to the Navy Depart incut a memorandum on the mineral resources of the Philip pines, prepnred at the Admiral's re quest by Professor George F. Becker, of the Knltcd Stntes Geological Sur vey. Professor Becker made exten sive researches nncl consulted oil tho available authorities. Only about a score ’of the several hundred Islnndp, he says, are known to contain de posits of valuable minerals. He In cludes a table showing the mineral bearing Islands and their resources. This table follows: Luzon—Cool, gold, copper, lead, Iron sulphur, marble, kaolin. tfatiraudunnes, Sylvan, Bohol and Panaoan—Gold only. Msrlinduque—Lead nud silver. Mindoro—Cosl, gold snd copper. Carraray, Baton, Hapu Itapu, Bern- arara, Negros—Coni only. Mssbcte—Coal and copper. Hotnblon—Marble. Samar—Coal and gold. Penny—Coal, oil, gaR, gold, copper, Iron nnd perhaps mercury. Blllrum-«ulphur only. I.eytc—Coal, oil nnd perhaps mer cury. Cebu—Co*l, oil, gns, lead, silver nnd Iron. Mindanao—Coal, gold, copper and platinum. Sulu Archipelago—Pearls. Of the coal Mr. Becker says that It Is analogous to tho Japanese coal nnd that of Washington but not of the Welsh or Pennsylvania coal. It might better be characterised as a highly carbonised lignite likely to contain ns much sulphur an Iron pyrites, liable to spontaneous combustion nnd Injurious to boiler plntes. Neverthe less, he says, when pyrltous Benins are avoided nnd the lignite is proper ly handled, It forms n valuable fuel, especially for local consumption. DepopsUlloi In Frssce.

It tras the opinion of a oortain Mr. Martin that one should investigate every ap plication for oharity before contribut ing peenniary relief. Being ap- proaahed one day on Tasker stroot, rotates the Philadelphia Reoord, by a man who told him that his wife was dying and his children starving, Mr. Martin concluded to accompany the beggar to his home and investigate. “It’s a long distance,” said the man; “you can’t walk it.” ”Oh, yen," repliod Mr. Martin, ”1 am a good walker,” and off they Htartod. It was a long tramp to the Neck, whero the man led him over lots and lanes ho had never seen be fore. At Inst tlioy readied n tumble down framo building, which had to bo reached hy a flight of steps, at the hoad of whioh there wan a door.

Finding the room empty tho. in voluntary occupant looked about and gazed down n wide crack in the floor, discovering, to his horror, pools of blood beneath. Expeoting every mo ment to be uttackod and murdered, he yelled for help, finally nttractiug tho attention of a solitary seeker in tho marshes, a scientist in pursuit of a rare wild weed. The scientist was brave, and, collecting a crowd from tho brick works, released the impris oned philanthropist, who learuod thnt the shed had been used for hog-kill- iug, nud the beggar had merely util ized it to get rid of him and his in vestigations.

An examination of tho bottom of the Indiana iu dry dook revealed an elongated, trough-like dent, perhaps two inches deep, in the plates of the starboard bow, about four feet below the waterline, made by a heavy shell falling at the end of a curved trajec tory that had struck, glanced and burst. This shows how marvelously our ships escaped injury. ‘When this shell struok it made ns all flinch,” remarked an oflloer who was there, dropping his shoulders and oooking his'knees and shrinking into as small a spaoe as his bulk allowed in illustration of. what > he meant. "Everybody did it—instinctively, ir resistibly turned their heads away and lifted tho right elbow as if to ward off a blow with a club—and there was a a second or two of awful waiting, while the roar and the scream soemed to still all the rest of the battle roar and to come straight to the ear. Then •followed au immeasurable ronr—a shocking, benumbing, bliuding ex plosion—and a prodigious fountain of water burst up boside the bow and deluged tho forward dock, while the ponderous ship,- tearing its way through the water with gigantic weight and momentum, seemed to stop suddenly aud was jarred from stem to stern as if she had run against a stone wall.” The vessel was promptly examined, but everything below was found tight and dry.—Army and Navy Journal.

There ie warm approval of the sohome suggested by F. E. Baines for the economic regeneration of Ireland, printed in the London Spectator. Mr. Baines believes that Ireland has all the needful elements to make her a great commercial natioD, pro vided the opportunity is furnished. The interior of tho country is now only indifferently supplied with rail roads, and it is consequently trouble some to make shipments of the goods for whioh Ireland is famed in British markets, snoh as farm products, live Btoak, etc. Mr. Baines proposes to make the ancient oity of Galway a transatlantic port, and to oonueot it with Kings- towu, near Dublin, by a canal, which would also connect with the present Grand Canal that runs nearly half way across the country. By this means the product of fish eries of the west and southwest could i be conveyed cheaply to Kingstown, whore fast steamers might rush across the Channel and deliver nt Holyhead to express trains that would laud, the goods in London in a few honrs. This might be vastly improved npon if the proposed tnunel is constructed under the Irish Sea.
