Too often this is never imparted or is
withheld until serious harm has result¬

ignorance of nature’s mysterious and

Girls’ over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and baffle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.

AWFUL SUFFERING
From Dreadful Pains From Wound on
Foot—System All Kun Down—Mi¬
raculous Cure bj- Cuticura.
“Words cannot speak highly enough for
the Cuticura Remedies. *1 am now sev¬
enty-two years of age. My system had
been ail run down. My blood was so bad
that blood poisoning had set in. 1 had
several doctors attending me, so finally I
went to the hospital, where I was laid
up for two months. My foot and ankle
were almost beyond recognition. Dark
blood flowed out of wounds iu many places
and I was so disheartened that I thought
surely my last chance was slowly leaving
me. As the foot did not improve you can
readily imagine how I felt. I was simply
disgusted and tired of life. I stood this
pain, whiph was dreadful, for six months,
and during this time 1 was not able to
wear a shoe and not able to work. Some
one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con
sequences were 1 bought a set of the Cu¬
ticura Remedies of one of my friends, who
was a druggist, and the nr»ise that I gave
after the second application is beyond de¬
scription; it seemed a miracle, for the Cu¬
ticura Remedies took effect immediately.
I washed the foo* with the Cuticura Soap
before applying the Ointment, and I took
the Resolvent at the same time. After
two weeks’ treatment my foot was healed
completely. People who had seen my foot

Our Millionaires Are
Our Greatest Failures. ___
William Allen White, in
the American Magazine.
The greatest failures in our mod¬
ern life are our millionaires. As a
rule they have accumulated money
without giving society a Just and
equitable return for that money;
they have acquired what seems to
them a vast amount of power, wlth
out intelligence to use it, and they
are going through life looking for
joy and happiness, but finding only
pleasure that burns out their souls
and does not satisfy their hearts. To
get their money they have developed
their cunning and stunted their can
doig they have deceived and bui
lied and sometimes killed the man in
their own hearts, and have let a
demon lustful for gain reign in their
sou is. Often the man who was
killed lingers in an empty heart—a
pious ghost, full of wise saws and
good intentions, and the crackling
laughter of the fool, but the good
mail is only a ghost; he has no real
part in the rich man’s life. Suppos¬
ing the pious ghost that haunts the
richest man in the world desired to
set aside half of his millions to pro¬
mote the cause of the Christian re¬
ligion. His money would accom¬
plish but little. The worst blow the
organized Christian religion might
have would be that money. For the
man’s life is so well known, his char¬
acter is so thoroughly despised, that
all the preaching of the paid preach¬
ers would be futile against the in¬
fluence of that one life. “How can
I hear what you say,” says Emerson,
“when what you are keeps thunder¬
ing in my ears?” The example of
one poor man laying down his life in
a fire or in a flood for humanity is
worth more to the cause-of righteous¬
ness than ail the millions for which
the rich man has strangled his man¬
hood or bartered away his soul.
Money does not pass current in the
real world of service. It is false coin
there. Churchmen need not worry
about tainted money. If it is tainted,
God will not accept- it. For what
God needs in this world is not money
—but service—service that comes
from the God-implanted instinct to
help one's fellows. The failures of
this life may heap the golden evi
dences of their failures mountain
high, and donate them to the cause
of righteousness, and they will avail
less than the testimony and the hon¬
est service of one poor man who has
succeeded by living manfully. Men
cannot cheat and steal and kill and
oppress their fellow’s, and then buy
their way into the happiness that
comes from real usefulness to man¬
kind; the peace that passeth
standing is not to be purchased with
stolen money, even though the rob¬
ber shall present it as a sacrifice, and
even though he shall lay it upon the
altar in seven figures. The million¬
aire of to-day may not buy indulg¬
>
ences any more than Ihe rich man of
Martin Luther's time. Christ said
to the Magdalen, “Go sin no more,”
and to the rich young man, “Sell that
thou hast, give A the poor,” and then
“come and follow Me.” Christ had
no more thought of spreading His
cause by the money of one sinner
than by the money of another. And
the chiefest proof of Christ’s divinity
is not in the miracles, nor in
signs and wonders, but in the fact
that He knew that the gearing of the
world is not turned toward the mil
Ienium by money or by the power
that conies through worldly success,
but by service of man to man, with¬
out money, and without the power
that money can buy. Money has its
place in our social organization. It
can feed the bodies of men; but a
dollar nor a million dollars never fed
a soul. For souls grow, only as life
has grown on this planet, by service
to one's fellow creatures.
But answer will be made that this
is a practical world, and not a world
of dreams and theories. Alen will
say, take away the love of money,
even though it be the root of all evil,
and you take away the fire that gen¬
erates the steam in the engines of
our civilization. And to those sit¬
ting in the seats of the scornful we
may answer that this is indeed a
practical world, but that the scrap
heap of antiquity is littered with the
ruins of practical worlds. Also if
the love of money produces the steam
of our civilization, then sooner or
later the fires must go out, and if
we would hold the steam we must
change the fuel. And we must ask
those who question us, and we must
ask ourselves, if indeed, and iii truth,
the iove of money does hold the lire
that runs the engines of our civili¬
zation. Let us take a look at the
thing we call civilization, and see
how it is going.
We know America fairly well; it
Is probably as highly civilized a3 any
other part of the globe. In New
York City there are said to be five
thousand millionaires, Probably
there are ten thousand or even let us
say twenty thousand men who are
nearly millionaires, and fifty thou¬
sand more who are living in the
blessed hope of becoming millionaires
reasonably soon. Their hopes of
course are based largely on being
able to tear down the real million¬
aires and to share in the fallen for
tunes. Let us say that there are one
hundred thousand people who cer
tainly are inspired by the love of
money. These hundred thousand
people have killed the social instincts
in their own hearts. They serve their
fellows only for the money there is
In D. 1 hey live parasitic existences.
But what of the three million ether
men and women in New FarkT is
the civilization of New York depend
ent upon {he hundred tl lousand para-
sites, or is it dependent upon Vie
three million people? Three million
people are working day by day for
money with which to buy the necessi¬
ties and comforts and luxuries of
life. The three million people devote
eight hours every day to money get¬
ting; but what of the other sixteen
hours during the day? In the eight
waking hours that are left what a
vast amount of work is done for the
love of it; and as we descend to those
levels which are falsely called the
lower levels of society—to the poor
—what a vast amount of social work
is done without the thought of pay.
The nursing of the sick, the care of
motherless children, the feeding of
those below the line of subsistence,
the helping and shielding and sooth¬
ing that is done by the poor to the
poor every day, if paid for in dollars
would make the hundred thousand
millionaires poor at sunset.
The spirit of social service is in
the masses of all our people. One
finds it throughout the land, among
workmen who join unions, among
farmers who put in their sick neigh¬
bor's crops, and country-bred people
who come to one another’s help in a
thousand neighborly ways in time of
trouble. The work that is done for
money to buy comforts for the work¬
er himself is but a small per cent, of
the work done in this world; it is the
work done by fathers for their fam¬
ilies, by mothers for their children,
by neighbors for one another—all in¬
stinctively following the divine in¬
spiration of social help—that has
made our civilization grow and
spread all over America. The great
inventors are not rich; the great
moral and spiritual leaders of men
are not rich, and the greatest of our
political leaders die poor. This is
indeed a practical world; that much
we must grant to those who sit in
high places and scoff; but it is made
a practical world by those who, with¬
out money, do practical work for the
practical benefit of their fellows, and
who, perhaps, without professing re¬
ligion, are living the spirit of Chris¬
tianity in their simple relations with
their real neighbors more surely than
those who have killed their souls for
nipney, and let the ghosts of them¬
selves haunt their lives, canting, in¬
effective spectres hectoring file
corpse!
THE SILENT OPINION.
j -
What Men Think of Women and
Women of Men.
Alost men-have some silent opin¬
ions about women and most women
about men. There are certain types
of face, certain kinds of manner, cer¬
tain methods of expression even, for
which many men and women are ut¬
terly condemned in the minds of
some of their brothers and sisters.
A disposition to dislike certain types
of face is at times so strong as to
suggest a previous existence.
We do not openly say that all wom¬
en with stich and such eyebrows are
hard hearted or that a man must he
a charlatan if the color of his eyes
and hair contradict each other, but
we act continually upon notions hard¬
ly less unreasonable. Educated men
with small vocabularies, for instance,
are divided as a rule by clever wom¬
en into fools by birth and self-made
fools, according to whether their
want of equipment be ascribed to na¬
ture or to affectation.
To the first they are indifferent;
to the latter they have almost always
a more or less active dislike. Such
men are often able, a fact their own
sex invariably recognize. The man
whose words are few and ill chosen
may be a man of prompt and rea
soned action, who having been
brought up among the silent wise or
the garrulous silly deprecates the
waste of pains occasioned by the
game of talk. All mental athletics
bore him just as physical athletics
bore others.
In the same way the fact that a
man pretends to know no more words
than a savage may he a matter of
awkward though genuine humility—
a fear of pretending to a culture he
does not possess—or an act of super¬
ficial conformity to a passing fashion
among a small set. It may have no
more to do with his real mind than
an ugly figure or an ill cut coat. Cir¬
cumstances will sometimes convince
even a clever woman of these facts
so far as a given man is concerned,
but she will never alter her silent
opinion as to the generality.
Clever women are very hard on
the men they imagine to be fools.
Able men, on the other hand, are not
at all hard on women they know to
be stupid. Where youth and beauty
are concerned the fact is easily mi
derstood, but youth and beauty by
no means explain the whole of this
phenomenon. Many men are in¬
clined to think that the kind of men
tal power in women which we collo¬
quially call brains exists in inverse
ratio to their common sense and
serves only to carry them with fatig¬
uing rapidity through verbal fallacies
to a false conclusion.—London Spec¬
tator.
Out of Danger.
Doctor Whipple, long Bishop of
Minnesota, was about to hold relig¬
ious services near an Indian village in
one of the Western States, and before
going ttf the place of meeting asked
the chief, who was his host,.whether
it was safe for him to leave his effects
unguarded in the lodge.
“Plenty safe,” gruuted the red
man. “No white man in a hundred
miles from here.’—Woman’s Home

j Aboriginees of Japan and Their Tat¬
tooing.
The aiboriginees of Japan, the hairy
Ai.uua, now number but a few thous¬
and and live on the island of Yezo.
Their women tattoo their lips. “The
j process of tattooing,” writes Oliver
Bainbridge, “is very primitive and
simple and it takes several years to
properly decorate a woman’s Bps,
forehead and fingers. Some ash bark
is procured and put into a pan to
soak for a day or two; then the bark
of the birch is burned under the pan
until the bottom is well blackened.
Next the operator takes a knife, cuts
a few- dashes into the part to be tat¬
tooed, rubs it weil with the soot and
bathes it carefully with the ash bark
liquid. The forehead, hands and arms
are only tattooed after marriage.”
Mr. Bainbridge, who is well known
as an “explorer of odd places,” spent
some time among the hairy Ainus
and secured valuable information and
many interesting photographs of the
queer race.—Chicago Chronicle.
Kansas Growing Up.
It is a natural thing to ask a man,
when introduced to him, what State
he came from. The fact is, however,
that Kansas is getting to have a big
nativeborn population, When the
first census was taken in 18G0 there
were nearly a thousand more people
living in Kansas who were born in
Missouri than there wore who had
been born on Kansas soil. Only one
tenth of the people in the State then,
including all the babies Jiad been born
on Kansas soil. According to the last
census, however, there were nearly
half the people living in Kansas who
were born in the State. By the time
the next census is- taken two-thirds
of the people in the State will be uar
tive born.—Kansas City Journal.
IT’S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.
Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges¬
tion than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says;
“Until two years ago waffles and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features i*f my breakfast. Fin¬
ally dyspepsia cam-i on and 1 found
myself in a bad condition, worse iu
the morning than any other time. 1
would have a full, sick feeling in my
stomach, with pains in my heart,
sides and head.
“At times I would have no appe¬
tite for days, then I would feel rav¬
enous, never satisfied when i did eat
and so nervous 1 felt like shrieking
at the top of my voice. I lost flesh
badly and hardly knew which way to
turn until one day I bought a box of
Grape-Nuts food to see if 1 could er.t
that. I tried it without telling the
doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel
as if I had something to eat that wa3
satisfying and still 1 didn't have that
heaviness that 1 had felt after eating
any other food.
“I hadn’t drank any coffee then in
five weeks. 1 kept on with the Grape
Nuts and In a month and a half 1 had
gained 15 pounds, could eat aimost
anything i wanted, didn’t feel badly
after eating, and my nervousness was
all gone, it’s a pleasure to bo well
again."
