Did you ever think how often you hear Ih# expressions "I'm tn a hurry" and "I haven't time?" Could anything be more absurd than the way some people, especially soma women, rush through life? The more trivial he Inci dents the greater th# haste. It ts perhapa natural that women who live out their lives at home attending to their household should regard the small matters of every day as fit occasions for haste, but It certainly haa ll* humorous aide when one haa been buffeted by real events In the world. The woman who takes things at home with such seriousness Is always a nervous woman, and no amount of coaxing will get her to let up In her feverish haste to get things done on lima. It's hurry to get up In the morning, hurry to get break fast. hurry to wash dishes, to sweep, to dust, to sew, to bake "If you want any thing of me you'll have to b* quick, for I'm In a hurry." This Is tho refrain ah* s.rg* all day long. It'# an awful trial to such a woman to have for a husband a deliberate fellow who usually arlves on time, but never appears to hustle. Burl wonder whsl hap pen* In homes where both husband and wife have the same affliction? I doubt If there are many such homes, for this haste habit Is distinctly a feminine specialty and has a logical cause In a nervous condition, which In turn results usually from uterine derangement. How often have you heard If said of one of these thin, nervous women, who has finally succumbed to the grim destroyer,"Poor soul, she's over her hurry now!" And you actually be kin to wonder how ehe found tlmo to die, for she was always saying she "hadn't time to be sick.” Buch women would either laugh or get angry If you told them that their exces sive hurry was a symptom of disease. They would suggest that they left a good deal of work behind them any way, and tf might be a good plan If more people had the same kind of disease. These women do their work "by the hardest" and do unnecessary things all th# time. Their Judgment ts faulty at all points. To accomplish trivial tasks they boldly Jeopardise health, and harmony, and happiness. Their effort# at comfort and pleasure are mixed up with worry for fear something "Isn't going Just right.” They completely fall to understand how to get the good out of life, and when tha real cause of their unhealthy activity declares Itself they are sick women. They have really worried their lives away and have accomplished nothing for them selves or others. You could not make a woman of this stamp take medicine for her nervousness, yet If ever a woman needed Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound It u this misguided soul who "has no time." Her stock argument Is. "Who'll do these things If I don't? Look nice, wouldn't it. If dust was an Inch deep all over th* furniture and all the clothes tn th* middle of the floor?" Youil find such a woman “hasn't time" to keep her person scrupulously clean, that her teeth frequently go unbrushtd for the same reason. Her personal appear ance. too, Is secondary fo her duties. In fact, ahe "hasn't time” to wear her clothes If she buy# them, or to make them If she doe* It herself. It looks Impossible to convince this woman of the error of her ways; but It'z a pity, for there are many such women. If some on# who had influence with her would Induce her to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on one pretext or another, and see to It that she found "time" to take it regularly for a while, this woman's nervous strain of haste would relax and presently she would begin to take an Interest In some thing beside retting useless things done. This medicine of Mr* Pinkham's la th* true help for every woman whose nerves are In any way abnormal. Why need women wait until they are physical wreck* with long neglected female troubles? Why not get some good out of life by finding "time" to pay attention to health? had ordered the equad to lock up one re bellious soldier who repudiated her uni form and apat upon 11.

And the money was bor rowed by the Princess, who continues to lay the prlncloal and Interest by means of Incessant economy and deprivations of all aorta. A lamentable spectacle la preaented by the barbarous corsets now on view al the Part* Exhibition composed of Iron und pieces of canvas, shapeless and with out grace, which imprisoned the delicate forms of queens of fashion of bygone periods, says an exchange. The corset had its origin In Italy and was Introduced from that country Into France by Cath erine de Medlcis. Mary Bloart and Diane de Pointer* did not, however, follow 4he fashion Hut It was admitted by all the ladles of the French court that It wa* indispensable to the beauty of the female figure and was therefore adopted hy them The corset In those days waa In It# tn f.seibv. and It atsumed more of the rough character of a knight's cuirass.
