Hospitals in our great cities are sad places to visit-.Threefourths

.of the patients lying on those snow-white

beds are women and girls.Why should this be the case ?Because they have neglected themselves.Every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty

of warning in that bearing-down feeling , jain at the left orright of the womb , nervous exhaustion , jmin in the small ofthe back. All of these things are indications of an unhealthycondition of the ovaries or womb.

What a terrifying thought ! these poor souls are lyingthere on those hospital beds awaiting a fearful operation.-

Do.

not drag along at home or in your place of employ-ment

until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to-an examination and possible operation. Build up the femalesystem , cure the derangements which have signified them-selves

of women from the hospital. Read the letter here publishedwith the full consent of the writer , and see how she escapedthe knife by a faithful reliance on Mrs. Pinkham's adviceand the consistent treatment of her medicines.-

¬

during the present session hasfallen somewhat short , the record be-

ing¬

309 , as compared with 355 twoyears ago , 383 four years ago and 411six years ago. Two years ago thelast day for the introduction of billscalled forth more than 100 , and anight session had to be called in order

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

With the last day for the introduc-tion

¬

of bills passed , the record showsthat in the senate there were a totalof 309 bills introduced , or an averageof about nine and a half for each ofthe thirty-three members. The rec-

ords¬

, however , show that some of themembers were much more active inthis work than were others. SenatorMartin is responsible for thirtythreeb-ills.. Senator Ransom comes next withtwenty-four , with Young of Stantonclose on his heels with twenty-three.Senator Balbridge , although havingbeen absent since early in the sessionon account of sickness , comes fourth ,

there being seventeen measures bear-ing

¬

his name.-M.

.

. F. Harrington of O'Neill todaymade an argument before the housecommittee on railroads , having underconsideration senate file 166 , SenatorWeber's Dill , cutting freight rates oncertain commodities from 10 to 15per cent. Cattle , hogs , horses , lum-ber

¬

, coal and hay are the principalcommodities affected. This reductionis on the rates which were in forceDecember , 1889. Mr. Harrington dis-cussed

¬

the decision of the supremecourt on the maximum freight lawand contended that the decision wasthe only one that could be renderedupon the facts that were presented to-

tli court , but argued that that decisiondid not prevent the legislative powerfrom passing a bill reducing rates-

.Fortythree.

bills were introduced inthe house on the 26th. bringing thetotal number of bills' submitted in theone branch up to 478.

The salaries appropriation bill ,

house roll 436 , by Lane , carries a to-

tal¬

appropriation of $879,800 , asagainst $875,880 in the salary billpassed two years ago. On the wholesalaries have been slightly raised , butno provieion has been made for sala-ries

¬

of the three secretaries of thestate board of transportation , whichmade an item of $13,600 two years ago.

Secretary McKesson of the senatehas sprung an agreeable surprise inthe shape of a printed senate calendargiving in an eight-page folder the exactstatus of every bill that has been be-

fore¬

the senate. The list is correctedup to February 26 aud will probablybe revised from week to week and re-

issued.¬

. From it one can learn at a-

glauce what has become of each sen-ate

¬

bill , whether passed , on generalfile , indefinitely postponed or still inthe hands of its appropriate commit ¬

tee. A list of house bills that havereached the senate is also appendedwith similar information as to theirexistence and whereabouts.
