THE NEW WAY.
P WOMEN used
to think “fe
male diseases ”
could only be
treated after “lo
c a 1 examina
tions” by physi
cians. Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. The in
troduction of
Wine of Cardui has now demon
strated that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure
Yin»i
taken in the privacy of a woman’s
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. Women need not
hesitate now. Wine of Cardui re
quires no humiliating examina
tions for its adoption. It cures any
disease that comes under the head
of “female troubles” —disordered
menses, falling of the womb,
“whites,” change of life. It makes
women beautiful by making them
well. It keeps them young by
keeping them healthy. SI.OO at

WHAT IS THE MATTER ?
Editor Gainesville Eagle :
What is the matter with Northeast
Georgia? Has it fallen from the
bond of the Union? Why this sul
len silence, while the rest of our
great nation rejoices over the victo
rious close of the war ? One mav
travel far and wide hereabouts and
hear no whisper of the late event
that thrills the American people to
joyful enthusiasm. One might almost
believe himself on Spaish soil.
All the world knows that our men
fought most valiantly—none better in
the Union—and would still fight to
the last heartbeat for our honored flag.
A Southern man was first to fall in
battle, and it was the son of the
greatest general and most beloved
hero of our nation that led our sol
diers in this war against the Span
iards. Why, then, this strange
silence ?
In the North men speak with hon
est pride of the inviolable union of
the Blue and the Gary. They are
never tired of praising the gallant
men who fought side by side with
them in the fever-infected swamps
of Cuba. To them it is not a thirg
of the past, but a living, thrilling
reality worthy of enduring patriotic
enthusiasm.
I am grateful that fate placed me
in the midst of a people who were
never ashamed nor tired of cheering
for Old Glory, during this our war ;
in the land where all men shared io
the patriotic fervor, from the million
aire to the meanest beggar of the
slums; where venerable old veterans
uncovered their grey heads to the
American flag with a fervent “God
bless Old Glory !” while the crowds
cheered themselves hoarse. From
the palaces of Fifth avenue to the
skyscraping tenements of the East
side the star-spangled banner told
that the inmates were loyal subjects
of Uncle Sam : and _from every
church in the great city floated the
strain of our national airs.
Not one of us will ever forget that
2nd <f July when the news of the
of Santiago flashed the*
wires.. It spread like' lightning
throughout the twin cities and the
noise and bustle of traffic died to
ominous silence, and people gathered
about the bulletin boards watching
breathlessly for the fragments of
news that came hour by hour. The
first telegram told “that two thou
sand Americans had fallen in the
battle of Santiag’o,"’ and swiftly suc
ceeding came the words, “the lo:8
was greatly underestimated,” fol
lowed by, “immediate demand for
surgeons and hospital ships.” The
suspense of the afternoon was unbe
lievable. By six o’clock the news
paper offices were surrounded by
throngs of waiting citizens who
snatched the papers from the bands
of the carriers, still wet with prin
ter’s ink. The night wore away
without further news. The morning
of the third dawned with sickening
heat which increased till the ther
mometer registered 110, and people
fell as if plague stricken, in the
streets. All that night the swelter
ing heat continued and when the sun
rose the next morning it struck, fur
nace-like roofs and pavements.
Then came the news of Cevera’s
defeat. It is impossible to describe
the enthusiasm of that hour, or in
deed the entire day and many days
after. People forgot the heat and
humidity and remembered only that
it was the most glorious 4th of July
since the first celebration of Inde
pendence. By noon the flags were
so thick in many pars of the city
that the sky was barely visible, and
the demand far exceeded the supply.
I believe that there was not a man,
woman, or child in Greater New
York who would have bartered their
right to Old Glory for all the king
doms of the world. It is a thing to
remember for a lifetime.
The first thing that greeted my
eyes in Canada was Old Glory wav
ing side by side with the British
Union Jack. Placards about the
public buildings bore the familiar
legend, “Remember the Maine,”
and every steamer of Lake Ontario
carried the American flag, and the
Queen’s subjects sang the “Star Span
gled Banner” lustily as any Ameri
can.
The echoes of all this enthusiasm
had not passed away when I passed
into the silence of the Empire State,
when all things changed, and I might
as well have been under the little
King’s domain for all the rejoicing I
heard. Mention of the war brought
indifferent comments. “I have noth
ing to lose, or gain,” said one man,
thereby foi feiting his priviledge of
American citizenship. I looked in
vain for the banner of the free
“Say, does the Star Spangled Ban
ner still wave in the land of the free
and the home of the brave?”
What does this strange inertia
mean? When some purely local
event transpires people cheer them
selves hoarse; at the national victory
they are dumb. This ought not to
be. I have yet to hear one cheer for
*1 .OO Per Annum in Advance.
Old Glory, and I’m waiting to hear
it. It is the grandest cheer that ever
thrilled a patriotic nation.
I’m glad I’ve seen our battleships;
glad I’ve taken part in the national
thanksgiving for our almost bloodless
victory ; glad I've seen our so’diers,
though their wasted, haggard faces
is the most patriotic sight in the
world to their countrymen; but I
will not be wholly satisfied until “the
folks at home” swell the national re
joicing.
How many of you have read Ed
ward Everett Hale’s great story, “A
man without a country”? Read it
now. It will make us better citizens
and bring us to a realization of how
fine a thing it is to be a citizen of the
United States of America.
Three cheers for the Army and
Navy and the gallant defenders of
Old Glory !
Helen Francis Huntington.

JABE COOK’S TWO RATTLERS
He Caught One Asleep, but Never Could
Tell How He Got the Other.
“No, young man, I can't tell you
nothin,not but there’s things enough
happened along the Delaware, an,
for that matter, right here in Calli
coon, to fill a hundred little books
chock full, but I'ain't no composer.
But I wish to land you’d come
’round before Jabe Cook died. He
could a ’commodated you with as
many yarns as you could shake a
stick at. True ones? Os course.
Jabe wan’t no great hand on lyin—
not ginerally. He ferried here for—
oh, I don’t know how long. Begun
when I was a boy. Run a small
boat, an when there was teams or
many people took them over in a big
scow.
“There ain’t scasly any heft of
work ’bout runnin a scow. Jabe
wouldn’t a-took to it if there had
been, for he was a sort of lazy coot—
didn’t hanker after work. When you
pole out an git pinted right, the
scow’ll run itself, an then there’s
time for swapiiin horses an talkin.
That’s where Jabe’s talent come in
—on talkin. He could talk a blue
streak—beat the hull shootin match
at it. It beat all how much he
’ty'wed afrout everybocry for miles
rt'Lnd. An when he begun on one o’
his stories he was bound to go
through with it. Never knowed him
to leave a story half way but oncet.
“One day a passel of us young
chaps had been up Hollister brook
fishin. When we got back to the fer
ry, Jabe wan’t to be seen, an we set
down on the beach to wait for him
to come an take us acrost the river.
We’d been settin quite a spell, when
all of a suddint we heard him shout
in an callin to us. He was comin
from an old stone quarry, an I swan
if the feller didn’t have a live rattle
snake in each hand. We were fast
enough ’bout runnin to meet him,
but a little skittish ’bout gittinvery
clost to the snakes, until we were
sure he had each one gripped clost
enough to the head so’s it couldn’t
turn to bite. It’s safe enough carry
in rattlers that way—if you hold on
tight. The day was hot an Jake
was that excited he fairly stuttered
a-tryin to tell us how he ketched the
snakes an the way we slung ques
tions at him didn’t help to cool him
down none. A city chap, he said,
had jiromised him $5 an a good jack
knife for a live rattler. He’d kinder
calkerlated on findin one that day
because all the signs were ’bout
right for their bein out.
“ ‘Say,’ interrupted Si Brown,
‘ain’t you gittin to know ’most too
much 'bout rattlers?’
“ ‘You’ll know more about man
ners when you’re growed up,’ was
Jabe’s answer. This was a sock
dologer on Si, for, though he was
nigh on to 40, he was a little cuss.
“Well, Jabe's story was awful
long, for he’d had ruther a rough
an tumble sort of a hunt, but the
upshot of it all was he found the
first rattler asleep behind a holler
log, an, said he, ‘I crept up as still’s
a cat after a mouse, an reached over
my forked stick an nabbed him.’ An
suitin his actions to his words, Jabe
brought his right hand over—
brought it over too near the left.
Quicker’n you could say ‘Jack Rob
inson,’ the left hand snake stuck his
fangs into Jabe’s right hand, an th a
right hand snake did the same for
his left hand.
“Jabe’s yells, which was enough
to wake the dead, an the general
thrashin ’round of arms an snakes,
scart us boys till every one of us
went lickety split up the river bank.
We went back when the snakes were
gone an helped Jabe home. Si ran
for the doctor, an I was soon a leg
gin it up the road after whisky.
“No, Jabe didn’t die, though he
come within an ace of it. He felt
awfully cut up ’bout the hiril busi
ness an to this day we don’t know
how he ketched that other snake.’’
—New York Sun.
Children’s Fetiches.
Dr. Gould cited some peculiar in
stances of personification of objects
by children and of devotion to them
so intense as to amount almost to
worship. Two small girls made a
special pet of a stone, to which they
gave the name Tom; others, becom
ing interested in all mice through
affection for one small, white mouse,
formed themselves into a secret so
ciety for the protection of the crea
tures which are usually the detesta
tion of all womankind. Other in
stances were given of children who
cherished particular affection for
special pillows or blankets, who
even had pet names for them and
who refused to be comforted if sep
arated from the beloved obiect.—
NUMBER 40.
VAIN WOMEN.
Risks That Some Will Take to Gain Tem
porary Good Looks.
At the inquest upon a lady recent
ly killed by the explosion of a hair
wash with which she was having
her hair dressed an official stated a
curious fact in his evidence. He said
that a lady who had been used to,
having her hair prepared with the
wash proved to be so dangerous haul
since the explosion refused to desist
from the practice, but had required
her hairdresser to keep damp blan
kets at hand while the operation
was in progress, so that if an explo
sion did occur the fire might be
readily put put.
The incident shows what some
women will dare for beauty. The
lady in question, however, is by no
means so exceptional an individual
as many folk will be tempted to Im
agine. Thousands of women are con
tent to risk their lives or health or
are willing to undergo exquisite tor
tures all forthesakeof some tempt
ing proffer of beauty—often delu
sion—to be gained.
Most doctors number among their
patients women who are suffering
from the effects of arsenic eating.
The arsenic is taken for the purpose
of attaining various results with re
gard to personal appearance. The
gravest warning of the terrible
physical effects which must in time
ensue are altogether disregarded by
these ladies. Physicians declare that
patients when cured will constantly
recur to this drug, “not so much
from a craving for the drug,” the
physicians assured the writer, “as
from a haunting fear of a diminu
tion of charm if the drug is discard
ed.”
The use of belladonna for the eyes
is, as every one knows, most calcu
lated to have disastrous effects upon
the sight. Thousands and thousands
of w 7 omen, however, avail them
selves of it, and very many are also
found who are an Jlbus to undergo a
painful and dangerous operation
uiion the eye itself, the object of
which is to imuart a graceful curve
to the eyelid. The danger of the
operation consists in the possibility
of injury being done to the nerves
controlling the action of- the lids,
causing partial paralysis.
One notorious impostor ■who got
into the hands of the police some
years back was proved to have had
as one of her patients a lady from
whose face she had actually removed
patches of skin, filling the vacant
places with a species of enamel.
The process was too exquisitely pain
ful for more than a very small por
tion of the countenance to be treat
ed at a time. The lady submitted to
the treatment for months and paid
a small fortune to the quack, who
demanded steadily increasing pay
ments by holding out the threat of
leaving the job incomplete and the
lady only “half done’ in more senses
than one.
The enameled countenance
enameled without the flaying'*proc
ess as in the above instance—is most
ordinarily a wash of torture. Once
enameled, you must be so always ol
hideous for the rest of your life, for
the process has a disastrous effect
upon the natural complexion. The
rigor of the enameled face is a con
stant source of anguish and of mus
cular weakness and decay.
The most popular form of torture
connected with large feet is un
doubtedly their contraction into
small boots. This is not, however,
enough for some ladies, who desire
to alter the f«ot itself and to seek
the aid of the quack beautifier, who
will undertake the job by means of
an injurious instrument which, by
screw’s and levers, brings to bear a
pressure upon the bones to squeeze
them into elegant shape. This in
strument is popular in Paris,
one of its operators got into trouble
some months ago in consequence of
his having permanently lamed a
lady who had placed herself in his
hands.—Boston Traveler.
Religion and Dentistry.
Mme. K., a once noted Russian
beauty, was lavish of her smiles.
One evening, at some reception,
Mrs. Crawford, London Truth’a
Paris correspondent, was gazing at
her w’hen the late Dr. Evans came
up. “What do you think of her
teeth?” “It was I who provided
them,’’said the doctor. “No, I'm
not joking.” “But surely they are
too transparent to be of composi
tion?” “They are not of artificial
stuff. I chose teeth from the mouths
of 12 Brittany girls to make the
set.” “Why from 12?” “Because
the 12 had the proper number of
faultless teeth. Besides, Mme. K. is
superstitiously«orthodox. She want
ed her teeth to be a reminder of the
12 apostles. To please her I inserted
a bit of the true cross in the gold
setting. ”
English Queens and Good Cheer.
The English queens have nearly
always been fond of good cheer.
Queen Anne was no exception. She
was fond of holding profound culi
nary discussions with her cook, and
English cookery books still contain
many dishes “after Queen Anne’a
fashion.”
“If I were you, ’said the man who
had bought an encyclopedia and sev
eral sets of biography, “I would call
on the man in the next room.”
“Is he fond of good type and fine
pictures?” inquired the book agent.
“I don’t know about that, but he
is a great reader. He spends all the
time he can get perusing his books.”
“Well, I’ll go and see him. But 1
don’t expect much. When a man
gets right down to reading hie
books instead of merely collecting
them, he generally feels that he has
about all he can attend to without
buying any more.”—Washington
Star.
