Men and women make mistakes, but Nature nev?r does.
Her laws are as fixed as the stars. Her danger signals arc
always right. Nature's way is for women to menstruate every
28 days. If there is any impediment if the flow is scanty
her signs of danger take the shape of dizziness, rush of blood
to the" head, fainting spells, cpld feet and hands, pains under the
shoulder blades and in the sides. There is much pain and suf
fering ahead for the woman who neglects Nature's cries of
warning. Postponing things b almost suicidal. Wine of Cardui
is the assistance that Nature requires in her work of cleansing the
system, it is a medicine from the fields and the woods a veg

the organs of womanhood
alone. It is good for all

is quick, and its benefits are

I Recalled to Life,
He is at Dr. Cafiyn's office. There sue
only three persons before hiuij-nn elder
ly lady, with a small boy, who wriggles
uneasily in his chair, and a young girl,
who sits alone alouc at the table, turn
ing over n volume- of John Leech's draw
ings. Burton seats himself by one of the
leavily curtained windows and falls into
a reverie. i
After awhile the opening of a door
in the hull, a faint murmur and a light
footfall warn the last victim that his
hour has come. He rises and follows the
servant.
"Quite so," lemaiks Dr. Caffyn, a thin,
weasel faced man, after examining his
patient. "Quite so! You are er er"
vainly hunting for his card.
"Burton is my name bamster and
journalist"
"Quite so!" icpeats the physician, with
the air of one arriving w ith some difficul
ty at the truth. 'Hard worked in your
profession, Mr.-r Burton?"
"Xo; not very much. I have not been
able for much lately, owing to that faiut
ness I told you of. Would 1 not be the
beter for a change of air to brace me up
a little, Dr. Caffyn?"
"The fact is," sajs the physician, lean
ing back in his chair and fingering his
eyeglass "the fact is, my dear sir, I can
give yon only a poor report of your
health. Nothing that I or any one tlst
can give you will do you much good."
"Plainly speaking, Dr. Caffyn," he says,
rousing himself at last, "how long have I
to live?"-
"Not more than a few mouth1!, I fear,"
returns the other feelingly. "Five or six
at most. But you may find some tempo
rary relief from this," handing the pre
scription and risings "Come and see me,
Jlr. Burton, when you like. Avoid worry,
excitement, late hours and er good
morning."
He passes through the still hall into
the blazing sunlight once more the life
giving sunshine which will never again
minister health and strength to him.
A letter awaits him at-his chambers.
Mechanically he opens it. What does
it matter? What does anything matter
now? -
It is from Kite & Prabble, the pub
lishers, to the effect that the first edi
tion of Mr. Burton's novel, "Thothmes,"
having been exhausted in three weeks,
they purposed going to press with a
second edition in view of the unprece
dented demand. Meanwhile they in
closed a check for $2,500, in terms of
contract and remained his obediently
"Too late!" he exclaims bitterly. "Too
late!"
"So you really like the book?"
"Xes, very much," she replies. "I
have never read anything which touched
me so deeply."
They were walking in a Devonshire
lane, the niece of the rector of Dalling
ton and Burton. The people at the
rectory were old friends of his family,
and it v'as there that he had met Emilie
Conyers.
The book they had just been discussing
was "Thothmes," his own anonymous
novel, but he had not told her he was
the author. Xot worth while now, he
thought to himself.
"Tell me something you like in 'Thoth

cr. I liked that about remembering
what is happening now as having oc
curred at some far back date of one's
life. By the bye" this with a vivid
blush "that teminds me! Do you
know, Mr. Burton, I am quite sure that
I have seen you somewhere before we
met hejre? I can't remember where,
though I have tried somewhere, not
long ago."
"I am sure I can't say," he says quiet
ly, looking down into her frank brown
eyes. "I don't think we have met be
fore, and jet ah, well! Perhaps it is
only the same curious feeling you were
just speaking of, and to which I allude
I I mean the author of 'Thothmes' al
ludes in your favorite passage. Do
you know that the physiologists tell us
now that all that sort of thing arises
from a mere twisting of our nerve
boors?"
Of course, before their stroll fiad ended
he had confessed to the authorship of th
novel for an author is an author,
though he mjy have only a few month-,
to lite. And he -also told her gently
of his approaching fate.
She was only a young girl, but she had
a woman's heart, and as he told his sad
story and how fame was comiug to him,
all too late, her eyes were wet with sym
pathetic tears.
"One wotd with you, Burton, before
you go out," quoth the rector of Dalling
ton a few days later. "You remember
telling me about that London physician
you consulted and who gave you such a
bad account of your health. What was
his name?"
"Caffyn Dr. Caffyn. Cavendish
squate."
"Ah! I thought so. Did you hap'pen
to know him at all before you consulted
him?"
"Xo; not at all. I went to him by a
friend's recommendation.
"My dear fellow," said the rector, ef
fusively, putting his hands on the other's
shoulders, "I have something to tell you.
Take it easily, now don't get flurried."
Hero he whispered something.
"You don't say so?"
"Yes, it is a positive fact. Why, my
niece here was nearly frightened out of
her wits by the same man not many
weeks ago.. He told her she had only a
month or two to live. I fancy Dr.
Caffyn lfas a mania for passing death
sentences on people. In fact, they say
is dying of some incurable malady hiui
lelf, and this colors his diagnosis."
It is the 'same Devonshire lane in
which they are walking a trifle closer
together than before.
"You gave me a new lease of life,
darling." he whispers.
"Why, it was Sir-Percival who did
that," she answers, roguishly; or was it

"You arch tease! Xo, Milly; if it had

"Don't bo foolish! By the nay, when

Tiburcio. nith a pike on hK head, rode
into Tecati up een into the dooryard
of the C.it(-natl.i muchn, and stole away
this beaut lur wh-mi all the men of the
border have been sighing in vain. Up in
to his saddle he whisked her, and away
they flew on a single pony so swift and
sure that no trace of them has been
found to this day.
It was a stolen pony at that.
Don Emilio was absent with his boys,
sajs tne San Francisco Chronicle, round
ing up a drove of steers, and nobody but
aged Donna Maxima and a young cousin
named Cruz was there to guard the
flower of the raucho. Donna Maxima
was asleep on the piazza. Cruz and Tonia
were roaming idly iu the garden like two
fairies, stealing forth, when nobody was
about, to see the flowers bloom. Up rode
a lone horseman.
"Who is that man, Tonia?" asked Cruz,
w ithdrawing to the shelter of the piazza.
Tonia did not move. Perhaps she rec-"

spangled sombrero pet haps she was
merely cutioti--.

Thus cried Cruz, but Tonia only staid

buke the arm which encircled her waist.
Perhaps, alas, the poor, girl could not
move, so tightly did the brawny arm
press her frail form in restraint.
As for Tiburcio, he certainly did not
waver for a moment at Cruz's words,
and he glanced with visible apprehension
at the pinto gelding pawing the earth
just outside the garden gate. There was
sense in the girl's warning. He gave a
quick glance at her and then at the old
woman blissfully slumbering ten steps
away. From these two powerless pro
tectors his gaze teturned to the passive
form in his amis; thence it swept to the
pinto gelding champing its bit under the
palm tree by the gate.
Caramba, would it be poscible?
Why not? They were on his trail.
Very well, ho would give them some
thing to chase him for. Ciuz swooned

the terribly Palma gather the light form

Cruz was turned over to a maid, and
the task of reaching Don Emilio with a
message was intrusted to a second. The
old don was two miles away, but the girl
got a pony out of the bain, took a turn
of the halter around ils nose, sprang
upon its bare back and galloped away as
only a ranch gill can when saddles and
bridles are scatc-e.
Apparently everything was done that
could be done, yet he got away. The

"Weird Story of tlie Cliost
ol
Iloynton Affnes Hall.
Boyntou Agnes Hall, the country seat
of Sir Henry Somerville Boynton, who
has so recently died, has one of the
most extraordinary ghost stories at
tached to it The house, which was de
signed by Inigo Jones, is a large and
picturesque red brick building, partly
in th'e Tudor and partly in the Eliza
bethan and Jacobean styles. The in
isrior, which was decorated by Rnbens,
(ontains some magnificent apartments,
including a grand hull, with a finely
carved screen, behind which is a splen
did staircase. Over the mantelpiece in
the hall there was a enrions representa
tion of the "Empire ot Death." In the
time of Elizabeth the hall and estates
became vested in three sisters, coheir
esses, who determined to have erected
for themselves and their descendants
the present mansion, instead of the old
er building.
The yonngest of the three sisters,
who had taken a special interest in the
erection of the new house, was brutally
maltreated by some ruffians when pay
ing a visit to Harpham Hall, the resi
dence of L-idy St. Qucntin, and died
very sholtly after. Before her death
she made her sisters promise that her
head should be removed from her body
and preserved within the hall, to -remain
there forever. She also left a
weird ine.-s.igo to fnture owners of the
house that if they disobeyed these in
junctions- -she-would
uninhabitable.
Her listers, who had only made the
promise to pacify her, had the body in
terred in the church without decapita
tion. A very short time sfterwaid such
terrible disturbances took place in
Boynton Agnes Hall that the servants
refused to remain in it, and it became,
in truth, impossible to live-there. The
two sisters then consulted with the
vicar of the parish and had the coffin
brought np from the vanlt. and, on
opening it, found the head severed from
the body and -rapidly assuming the ap
pearance of a fleshlesa sknll. The skull
.was duly brought to the house and
placed on a table in the ball, where,
with the exception of very short
periods, it has remained ever since.
On one occasion a maidservant se
cretly threw it from a window on to a
wagon, which remained immovable un
til, terror stricken with what she hail
done, the girl confessed, and the skull
was restoied to its place. At another
time the Bojnton of the day, ignoring
or disbelieving his ancestress' power1
caused the skull to be buried in the
garden. The result was that dreadful
wailings and numerous unexplained
crashings were heard about tho hall.
and the skull had to be again rein
stated. London Mail.

One or two men sprang to their feet,

Special Correspondence.
Mayagcez, Porto Rico, June 1.
This progressive city of 30,000 inhabi
tants, the third in importance and
population in onr new insular posses
sion in the Antilles, seems to be grow
ing and pro-pering under the beneficent
rnle of the United States, and the peo
ple eem to be thoroughly satisfied with
the existing conditions. It is decidedly
a modern city, with clean streets, good
drainage, pure and abundant water,
street railways, newspapers, schools and
savings banks. There is a large export
trade in sugar, molasses, coffee, hides
and frniK
In striking contrast with this bus
tling, np to date city is tho tiny tile
roofed hamlet of Hormigueros, about
four miles southeast of ilayagnez. It
is a spot of both historic and devotional
interest. The village, which is made
np of a few straggling, ancient and
weather stained houses, is situated on
a rough, rocky, barren mountain side
of blackened volcanic formation.
Oddly enough, it was here two de
cisive events occurred which" had a
most important bearing on the future
of Porto Rico. It was the scene of the
last of tho deadly struggles between
the armed hosts of the Castilian kings
and the snllen, retreating and defeated
aborigines, which completed Spanish
domination of the island. Almost upon
the same spot in the end of this nine
teenth century the Spanish army made
its last defiant, though ineffective,
stand in the western hemisphere.
Overlooking the straggling villago of
Hormigueros and at the end of tho
roadway leading through it stands
Montrerrate, a lofty mass of rock, np
which ascends a stairway of a hundred
steps hewn from the solid rock. These
steps lead to a small plateau formed by
cutting away the apex of a mountain
peak. This level place is surrounded
by a low stone wall, within which in
closnre stands the venerated Santuario
do Nuestra Senora de Alontserrate
the Church of Our Lady of Mcntaerrate.
It is the Lourdes of the Antilles, and to
its shrine have flocked the-faithful for
300 years, seeking healing for their
bodily infirmities. The story of its
founding is told in the old records:
"Shortly after settlement of Porto
Rico by the Spaniards a husbandman
was clearing the forest growth from
his crown grant in the wild Hormi
gueros mountains and breaking tho
soil with a rude wooden plow drawn by
a bull, when, the intense rays of a mid
day sun having made toil painful to
both man and beast, he released the
bull from the plow, in order that the
animal might seek food and water.
As soon as he obtained his freedom the
hull -turned npon his master and at
tempted to gore him to death. Vainly
did the man endeavor to avoid the at
tacks of the infuriated animal. Finding

escape impossible, he called upon the
Virgin Mary-to preserve him and prom
ised to devote his life and fortunes to
the cause of Christ if his life were
spared. Instantly the maddened bull
fell to the earth with his legs broken,
and there appeared in a resplendent
cloud of dazzling whiteness the Holy
Virgin, with the Christ Child npon her
knee. She gave to the frightened fanner
n message to build upon that spot a
sacred shrine, at which all mankind
might worship, and where the faithful
would be healed of physical ills."
The devout and believing tiller of the
soil was true to the obligation he had
entered upon and straightway com
menced to fulfill his promise. With the
assistance of his-neighbors, he cut away
the crest of the mountain and erected
of massive masonry the sanctuary of

PLAYING AT PARLIAMENT.
A XeYi Cinmf Which Flourishes lo
the Schools of .Taufin.
An ingenious schoolteacher iu Japan
recently conceived the idea cf having
his pupils hold sessions similar to those
of the Japanese parliament, and so suc
cessful has this noble idea proved that
it is now being generally adopted
through the schools of the conntry. It
has also attracted the attention of
many Europeans and certain leading
journals in Germany and France claim
(hat schoolteachers in every conntry
might well follow the example of the
Japanese professor.
In his school the principal plays tho
part of the prime minister, and threo
teachers represent respectively the min
isters of public instrnction, of war and
of the navy. Three of the senior scholars
take the part of privy councilors, and
the oldest professor acts as president of
the parliament, the place of vice presi
dent being taken by the professor of
history. Other professors and pupils
act the pirts of speaker, secretary of
state and the other official personages
attached to the parliament.
At the opening session, which was
held in the large schoolroom of the high
school at Sendai, a city in tho north of
Japan, an embryo member of parlia
ment presented for discussion a bill for
tLe abolition of all examinations. The
principal champion of the bill was a
young student named Kato. He spoke
for two hours in its favor, paying not
the slightest attention to the many in
terruptions which were made by the
deputies on the crowded benches. The
newspapers nest day gave a long ac
count of his speech and predicted for
him a brilliant parliamentary career if
he decided to enter public life.
The speakers who followed him were
not so fortunate. One of them indeed
was so embarrassed by the interruptions
from the benches that he lost his head
completely and was fain to turn aside
and swallow a enp of tea, nfter which
he hastily left the platform. A curions
feature of the session was tho gayety
of all those who took part in it. Stu
dents, as well as professors, did not hes
itate to lay stress on the weak points of
the grave dignitaries whom they rep
resented, and many a hearty langh was
aroused by -the skillful manner in which
they portrayed the leading legislators
of their country. This first session last
ed for seven hours, and it might not
have ended then if the prime minister
had not remarked that it was time for
dinner.
Evidently there will be no lack of
candidates for parliamentary honors in
Japan, at least during the present gen
eration. New York Herald.
TO CURE BY DREAMS.
A Doctor's ISeIce For Making the
I'ntlentM See I'IcUMaiit VlMionM.
An English physician claims to have
discovered a new and efficacious core
for persons afflicted with nervous or
mental maladies. If such persons, he
says, can only procure pleasant dreams,
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is thtrefore to furnish them
with delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses a soft leath
er cap, which covers the patient's head
and ears and leaves only the face un
covered. Beside the ears are placed two
metal plates, which are joined by a
rubber tube to a phonograph. The pa
tient rests on a divan in a dark room,
and in front of him is a sort of magic
lantern, from which are projected at
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
tures. In this way, it is claimed, the
eyes of the sick person are delighted,
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono
graph. As a result weariness comes npon him
and is soon followed by slnmber, and
it is while he is dozing in this manner
that happy dreams are evoked, thanks
to the phonograph and thestereopticon.
After this light slumber comes a deep
sleep, which, we are assured, is always
most beneficial.
Several tests of this kind have been
made with success, and it is said that
not only are tired nerves refreshed by
this method, but that the patient's
body ako rapidly Increases in weight
That pleasant sounds and sights are
soothing to the serves we have all
known for a long time, bnt that pleas
ant dreams have a tendency to make
persons fat will certainly be news
to the general public. Philadelphia
