These pains are symptoms of dangerous derangements that can be corrected. The men strual function should operate painlessly. W«rdui makes menstruation painless, and regular. It puts the deli cate menstrual organs in condi tion to do their work properly. And that stops all this pain. Why will any woman suffer month after month when Wine of Cardui will relieve her?

The Only One In the United States Lo cated at New Orleans. In the old French quarter of New Orleans, with its narrow streets, latticed windows and jealously guarded courts, where the fig and orange tree grow, is a square of rather miscellaneous architecture. Its central building, 717 Orleans street, is several hundred years old. It has a stately entrance, with great pillars and old fashioned, ornately carved doors. It was once the old creole opera house and ballroom of the early days. Now it is the home of the colored nuns. The powdered and ringleted dam sels with hoop distended skirts who stepped daintily across that thresh old to scenes of gayety in bygone years have given place to dark robed figures whose white ruffled caps only bring into stronger relief the bronze and ebony of their skins. The very names of the streets here are rich in history and romance. There are Orleans and Bourbon, Chatres and him of the iron hand and gentle heart, Tonty. Shades of the past are jostling one another, though in a gentle, shadelike way, at every street corner, and at noth ing do they seem to be more aston ished than at the sight of the col ored nuns. Yet the order is not such a very modern one after all, for it was founded in New Orleans over half a century ago. Its members are now well known figures on the streets of the Crescent City. The special ob ject of its institution was the edu cation and moral training of young colored girlsand the care of orphans and aged infirm people of the race. It has had the cordial support of such eminent churchmen as Arch bishops Blanc, Odin, Perche, Leroy and Janssens, who successively fill ed the archiepiscopal see of New Orleans. It is also a novitiate where young colored girls are train ed for the work of the order with the view of extending that work to every parish in Louisiana, and, if possible, into every southern state. One of the most interesting parts of the convent is the orphan asy lum, where children ranging in age from the wee tots just beginning to walk to girls of 12 and 14 years are cared for. One of the sisters in charge of the babies was an ex slave. She is a real “mammy” still. “But, reverend mother, you seem Xohave some white children here,” visitor, comment wvhrte >kjn of some of the children. “Oh, no,” said the nun, smiling a bit wistfully at the ignorance of her visitor, “they all have colored blood in their veins! Maybe they are only quadroons or octoroons. Some of them, indeed, have only one tenth colored blood, but that one-tenth black counts more than the nine tenths white and makes them be long forever to the colored people.” One is reminded of some of Ca ble’s stories, the pathos and tragedy thereof. In the orphan asylum 135 children are sheltered who would otherwise be thrown upon the state. These as well as the 60 poor old colored men and women and many of the children in the school are dependent upon the sisters for their daily bread. Formerly the sisters ob tained a fair revenue by going through the streets of New Orleans, from door to door and into business houses and railroad offices, solicit ing alms for their charges. So quietly did they labor that few out side the city were even aware of the existence of the order, the only col ored sisterhood in the United States. —St. Louis Republic. THE ERIE CANAL. Claims Made In Behalf of Governor Clin ton, Gouverneur Morris and Others. A blue pitcher in the possession of E. P. Powell of Clinton has inscribed on one side “Utica, a village in the state of New York, 30 years since a wilderness; now, 1824, inferior to none in the western section of the state in population, wealth, com merce, enterprise, active industry, and civil improvement.” On the other side of the pitcher is inscribed: “The great Erie canal, a splendid monument of the enterprise and re sources of the state of New York. Indebted for its early commence ment and rapid completion to the active energies, pre-eminent talents and enlightened policy of De Witt Clinton, late governor of the state.” Canalboats and locks cover the rest of the pitcher. It is one of the very few now in existence of these memorable me mentos of the building of the great canal. It is interesting, however, mainly for the fact that it claims for. De Witt Clinton the chief honor of this great water course. It is now known, however, that the Erie canal did not owe its conception to the Clintons. In July, 1810, De Witt Clinton wrote from Mann’s Mills, on Irondequoit creek, “Here is where Mr. Geddes proposes a great embankment for his canal.” This recognition of Mr. Geddes as the fa ther of the enterprise is distinct. But still back of this we have this record tjjat Gouverneur Morris, in 1803, in a conference with some friends in Albany, spoke to Simeon De Witt of a project that he had in his head of “tapping Lake Erie” in order to let the waters run overland tathe Hudson, making a short line of navigation from New York to the lakes. Geddes heard of this project, caught it up and pushed it with all the energy of his active mind. In 1816 he was made engineer of 'the proposed canal, in conjunction with 9 French engineer, and these two a 1-00 Per Annum in Advance. naa cnarge or tne surveying ana supervision of the construction. 'These records seem to give the original honor of the Erie canal to Gouverneur Morris and to Geddes as a close second. But another claimant appeared in 1832 in the person of Jesse Hawley. Mr. Hawley left a will in which we find this clause: “I give to the Historical society of New York my original essays entitled ‘Observations of Canals,’ printed from October, 1807, to April, 1808. In these essays I claim to be the first projector of the overland route of the grand Erie canal, from Buffalo to Utica. And I now herein declare it for a truth, under all the solem nity of this last document of my life, that the idea of tapping Lake Erie and taking its water across the country to the Mohawk at Utica was an original conception of my own mind, which occurred to me at Seneca Falls early in April, 1805.” After complaining that the state had not condescended to acknowl edge his services in any public man ner he requests the Historical soci ety to accept the evidences and to keep them in its sacred care. Notwithstanding Mr. Hawley’s claim, it is clear that others had been thinking of the subject prior to himself. Whether the jiroject was really originated by Gouverneur Morris or not we cannot say, but no historic record has as yet been pre sented which antedates his discus sion of the matter in 1803. It must be added that it seems quite prob able that the restless mind of this statesman gave birth to a project which at the time seemed chimer ical. No glory can be taken away from the Clintons in this case, for, while the national government was appealed to for public improvements in every other section of the coun try, the Empire State, under the presiding care of the Clintons alone, without national aid, created the grandest engineering enterprise of the age.—Utica Herald. Nuts For Eating. Nuts are much employed in high class cookery, but their value seems not to be recognized by the majority of country housewives, too many of whom let the squirrels get them all. Very delicious dishes are made of chestnuts. Any nut makes a cake more delicious. Nuts (-hopped and sprinkled over puddings, hot or cold, give a new flavor and greatly im prove them, while mixed through custard they make a surprising change in this simple dish. Stewed apples sprinkled with chopped nuts and the core space filled with jam a good dessert, which need be of do cost except for the labor used, and this is of only nominal value. — Philadelphia Inquirer. Doesn’t Apply. “I guess that if the truth were known,” said the neighborhood gos sip, “Miss Biglittle is the bone of contention between her father and mother.” “Bone?” shouted the young man who waits on Miss Biglittle. “Bone? I should say not. She weighs 145 pounds and is plump as a partridge. ,r —Detroit Free Press. Our Lengthening Days. A day is the name for the time in which the earth rotates once and a month for the time in which the moon revolves once, says Professor George H. Darwin in The Atlantic. Then, since tidal friction retards the earth’s rotation and the moon’s rev olution, we may state that the day and the month are now lengthening at different rates which are calcula ble, although the absolute rates in time are unknown. It will suffice for a general comprehension of the problem to know that the present rate of increase of the day is much more rapid than that of the month, and that this will hold good in the future. Thus the number of rota tions of the earth in the interval comprised in one revolution of the moon diminishes, or, in other words, the number of days in the month di minshes, although the length of each day increases so rapidly that the month itself is longer than at pres ent. For example,when the day shall be equal in length to two of our actu al days the month may be as long as 37 of our days and the earth will spin round only about 18 times in the month. Prince Alberts to Hire. “Dress Coats to Hire” is an old and familiar sign. “Prince Alberts to Hire” is comparatively new. A man in the business of renting dress clothes said that frock suits had been rented now for about a year. They are worn for morning wed dings and for other day occasions. There is a demand for them, but it is not nearly so great as that for dress suits. A dozen frock coats would be enough to carry with a stock of 200 or 300 dress suits. The cost of hiring a frock coat is the same as that of hiring a dress suit, being from $3 down, depending upon newness, quality and style.—New York Sun. And Candy For Sale. “Here, ” said Benny’s papa, show ing the little fellow a coin, “is a pen ny 300 years old. It was given to me W’hen 1 was a little boy.” “Gee whiz!” ejaculated Benny. “Just think of any one being able to keep a penny as long as that without spending it!” Harper’s Bazar. At a club meeting of married women in Atchison recently the sub ject of first quarrels after marriage came up. There were 19 women present, and 18 laid the blame of the first quarrel on their husbands. The nineteenth woman admitted that it was her fault. The teenth woman was a widow.—Atch ison Globe. _ r NUMBER 30. OILED CLOTHING. The Waterproof Garments and the Tra ditional Sou’wester of the Sailor. A suit of oiled clothing such as is commonly worn by sailors, consist ing of a coat and a pair of trousers, costs from $1.50 to $2.50, according to the quality. An oilskin sou’west er costs 25 to 50 cents. There are many makes of oiled clothing, in cluding some whose trademarks have been familiar for many years. The oilskin coat hanging outside the outfitting and supply stores in streets along the water front has long been a familiar sign. The life of an oilskin suit depends, of course, primarily upon the wear to which it is subjected, but largely also upon the care taken of it. An oilskin suit will last longer and keep much better if hung up when not in use than it will if rolled up, but it may be that the user has noplace to hang it or that he keeps it rolled up to be ready to carry with him at any time, as a pilot would do. In dry latitudes, where a sailor has less occasion to wear them, his oilskins, if cared for, would of course wear longer than where they were ofteh worn. Usually the average life of an oilskin suit worn by a sailor would be about a year. When a sailor’s oilskins crack or get worn so that they are not water proof, he oils them. They may need oiling two or three times a year. There are prepared oil dressings made for this use and put up in lit tle tin cans. Some sailors use oils of one sort and another, and some sail ors make a mixture of their own for a dressing. The sailor is likely to have a preference for some one brand of clothing and to stick to it, and he has his own idea as to the best dressing for it, but he carries always with him a dressing of some sort. It is put on with a brush, the garments being hung up and painted with it. Oilskin coats worn aboard ship by men before the mast are cut short, so as not to interfere in any way with their movements. The coats worn by the officers of a shiji are cut longer. The officers in some cases wear rub ber coats, but the oilskin is the coat they commonly wear. While oiled clothing and the tra ditional sou’wester are most famil iarly associated in the mind with ideas of sailors and of the sea, they are also, as matter of fact, very largely and extensively worn upon the land by truckmen and car driv ers and many other outdoor workers and by sportsmen.—New York Sun. Extracting; the Young; Idea. Two events of one day convinced a young lady of Piety Hill that the infant mind is one of the most pro found mysteries of nature. It was her first effort with a class of little Sunday school children, and after talking with them in her most im pressive way for half an hour she asked her precious charges what they thought of their lessons. One little girl, with golden hair and great blue eyes such as artists love to reproduce in themes divine, indi cated a desire to speak. “What is it, my dear?” “Miss Earnest, if you lived to be a hun’red years old you’ll never have a prettier hat than the one what you got on now.” The second developed later in the day. She told the little ones that they must not let the weeds grow up in their hearts, for they were the weeds of sin and worse than death. One fat cherub who had never known what it was to be sick set up a howl as soon as he reached home. Being short on a knowledge of anatomy he sat holding his di gestive apparatus and declaring that the weeds growing in his heart were “a’mos killin’’ him. Ignorant of the cause of alarm, the terrified parents kept the telephone wires hot till they secured the presence of three doctors, who were quickly followed by others who had not been in when called. While the others were gravely consulting, one shrewd practitioner extracted the story of the Sunday school lesson and administered a dose of sugar and water. Ten minutes later the little fellow was telling how near he came to dying while he was eat ing enough for a harvest hand What is a poet ? To whom does he address himself t And what lan guage is to be expected from him ? He is a man speaking to men—a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature and a more comprehensive soul than are supposed to be common among man kind ; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions, and who re joices more than other men in the spirit of life that is in him; delight ing to contemplate similar volitions and passions as manifested in the goings on of the universe and habit ually impelled to create them where he does not find them. To these qualities he has added a disposition to be affected more than other men by absent things, as if they were present; an ability of conjuring up in himself passions which are indeed far from being the same as those produced by real events, yet (espe cially in those parts of the general sympathy which are pleasing and delightful) to more nearly resemble the passions produced by real events than anything which, from the mo tions of their own minds merely, other men are accustomed to feel in themselves; whence, and from prac tice, he has acquired a greater read iness and power in expressing what he thinks and feels, and especially those thoughts and feelings which, by his own choice or from the structure of his own mind, arise in him without immediate external ex sitemeut.
