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 the drug store.

ADDISON, M.D., Cary, Miss., says: “I use Wine of Cardui extensively in my practice and find it a most excellent preparation for female troubles.’* 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. Gainesville, Ga. 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.
