HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mts. Anna
3elle Emey, of this place, says: “I suf
ered for 15 years with an awful pain in
ny right side, caused from womanly
rouble, and doctored lots for it, butwith
>ut success. 1 suffered so very much,
hat 1 became down in mind, and as help
ess as a baby. I was in the worst kind
>f shape. Was unable to do any work.*
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
onic, and got relief from the very first
lose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
les, my health was completely restored.
[ am now 48 years years old, but feel as
rood as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
ny mind, and I feel it my duty to speak
n its favor. I wish I had some power
jver poor, suffering women, and could
nake them know the good it would do
;hem.”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
oeculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
■nore than 50 years, and will help you,
;oo.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.

A Nervous Woman Finds
Relief After Many Years
Women who suffer from extreme
nervousness, often endure much
suffering before finding any relief.
Mrs. Daniel Kintner, of Defiance,
O., had such an experience, regard
ing which she says:
“I had stomach
trouble when I was
eighteen years old
that broke down
my health, and for
years I suffered
with nervousness,
headache, indiges
tion and nervous
spasms. Tho
spasms got so bad
I would have them
three or four times

WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering of Agriculture Has Been
From the Beginning of Time in
Female Hands.
.Agriculture today depends chiefly
o n th work of the prinii val woman
T. are Indebted to the nomad's wife
!<■ the greatest of all economic serv
if s. She tamed the young of the
r.. re tamable animals, gave them to
h savage husband, and made of him
the more civil herdsman who for
ag s followed his flocks after the man
ner of Jacob and Ix>t and Job. This
fertile wife of the nomad became the
wife of farmers, and she made a farmer j
of her son by placing in his hand the :
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of al!
our domestic animals.
Where did this ancient mother get 1
these precious seeds? Tn many cases
we do not know, and cannot even ,
guess. She found some plant with
one or two rich seeds, planted them, ■
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit
tie grain patches, selecting seeds to
be preciously preserved from the bar
vest festival to the next spring .
planting festi"al, which we now call I
Easter. By th s process running on
through unknown gent-rations of men. i
the plants became so changed by th«
artificial application of Darwin’s law
of selection that now no botanist dares
suggest what plant or plants were the
wild forebears of some of the present
grains from which the world today ob
tains its bread.
We are indebted to this cave or
tent dwelling woman. But shall we
accept her work as final? Can science .
do no better than follow along the!
path she laid out° The fact that ag
ricultural science is today doing lit- j
tie more than this te one of the pa
tV«aH/i illnat f inns n f th« smallness of 1
our view.—Prof J. Russell Smith, in >

IN HOUSES OF CORNSTALK
Primitive Dwelling Places That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Class of
Egyptian Peasants.
On the outskirts of Alexandria we
passed numerous groups of Bedouins
camping by the side of the Mahmou
dieh canal. Out In the fields men and
women, dressed alike In the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures made of
cornstalks. They are used as tempo
rary homes at certain seasons of the
year, as, for Instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on I entered one, and found
It to be not more than five feet
square; one could not stand upright
Inside. The place contained nothing
but a few jars and cooking utensils.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up In their clothes at
night, covering the heads oIbo, but
leaving the feet bare. The hut I saw
was occupied by a man and his 3on.
These people, of course, are the fel
laheen—the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of the poorest class.—Christian
Hensald.

Egyptian Justice.
In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap
peal. The laws lay before the Judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
In writing how he had been Injured,
whereupon the defendant stated In
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the Judges de
Uberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
for the party who had In the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president of the
Judges touched with an Image of
Tbmel, the "Goddess of Truth." the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.
The President.
The president of the United .Rates
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the Individual
states or of the United States. He Is
puj-ely and simply the national execu
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would need to be
an absolute monarch, like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkej. As
It is, he Is simply the head servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, ahd from
which he cannot deviate. Instead of
making the laws the laws are mad*
by the legislative servant* of the PPO
ula tor him to execute.
CHARM HARD TO ANALYZE
its Presence Easily Felt, but Descrip
tion Will 3a Found a Thing
of Some Difficulty.
Over half of onr American girls
work They stand behind coil",' •■re
he.-.d over machines, sit at desks, and
march, militant figures, in * w prices
-ion of industries hat seem to block
the road to girlish grace and light
heartedness and freedom from cure
One woman who has worked among
ay»d written books about, and found
Inspiration in ’he working girl says
that, charm sometimes drifts down,
unawares, a thing ephemeral, a gift
of the gods to the girl who has had to
work so hard tli»r she has had no
time to think about her lack of
beauty.
“I wish I knew wherein charm lies;
but I don’t know, although I’ve stud
ied It and tried to analyze it as much
as most folks have, I suspect In
books, In pictures, In people, in places,
I’ve met many, many kinds of cha-m;
but I’ve never been able to say just ;
what It. was that charmed me Cer
tainly It was never mere beauty, nor
mere intelligence, nor mere cheerful- j
ness, nor mere kindliness. I’ve seen
beauty that, bored, and listened ’o i
cleverness ’hat repelled, and met with
cheerfulness ’hat was inane and with
kindliness that, was exasperating
Charm is a gift of the eods, and if
cannot, be wooed like fame, nor wor
like money, nor bought like titles, nor
developed like patience, nor seized
like a prize o’ war. If It comes, it
comes; and if it’s thought on too
much, it flies away And there’s ao
end on It.”—Mother’s Magazine.
LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Coi*
vinced That tha Youngster Was
Competent to Give It
The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to, for tt
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered oat Into the
garden, so he wended his steps la
that direction He soon came across
the young people, and found them In
a moat Interesting attitude. Ths
young man had the fair girl clasped
In both his arms, and was kissing her
ss if he hadn't tasted such a dainty
tor at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched tha
oecnlatory performance to the finish—
which he found to he somewhat weary
work—and then made his presence
known
“Isn't It. very late for yon young
people to be out?" he said.
“It la—Is rather, pa.” faltered the
fair girl; “but—but Mr. Popple has
been ,glv—giving me a lesson In as—
astronomy.”
“My stars!” ejaculated the old gen*
tleman. “He has, and no mistake! I
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs.”
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
bis eyes out of sheer compassion.

Poet’s Memory Lives.
The saying “Christmas comes but
once a year” Is attributed to Thomas
Tusser, a medieval poet (1M4-1680),
i who seems to have been strong on
epigrams. The same Idea may have
merged to others, .hut Tusser gave
It expression. He wee classed as pa
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not . much education and pertly
because he treated simple Cheeses,
which he uaderrioed tn a plate and
etagte wag. Tueeer had an ear Car
mode, and served te order as chor
ister ia seme churches ef his dag.
His first publication was entitled “A
Hundred Good Points of HasbanA
rie,” and later he published ”A Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandrie Late*
ly Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points of HousewtTery,” and still latet
this was amplified into “Five Hun
area uoort poinrs or riuBoanury um»
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,*
Reprints of these boks are still e»
tant with an autobiography of the au
thor in verse. Southey, himself a
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases
have passed into proverbs.
Looking to the Future.
The beautiful lady consulted her
attorney, and was received with bows
and smiles.
•‘I am glad to tell you," said the
legal gentleman, "that your breach
of promise suit has already produced
results. The defendant has offered to
compromise by marrying you."
“That suits me," declared the beau
tiful lady. “I’d rather do that than,
stand a chance of losing a suit. Well,
you have done beautifully. What do
I owe you for your services?”
"'Shall we say $500?”
“We shall not That la altogether
too much."
“Well, I'll tell you what Til do.
I’ll out that bill In two If you will
promise to retain me when you sue
for divorce.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Learning How to Write.
The following is taken from a page
of practical household suggestions
published in the Woman’s Home Com
panion:
"My little boy tired very quickly
when I tried to teach him to write, so
I gave him a cap, a bag and wrhistle
and told him to play letter carrier.
Since then he sits down Immediately
after breakfast each day and writes a

then plays postman and delivers It
