Th« Cruel Method* In U«« In Portu-
gal's Mozambique Colony.
Mozambique being one of the prln
clpal convict settlements of the Portu-
guese government, many poor crea-
tures make desperate dashes for liber-
ty only to lie devoured by the sharks
before the eyes of their guards. It
wus no uncommon event to hear the
fortress gun boom forth, announcing
that another poor soul was running
this ghastly gantlet of the sharks soon
er than exist like a half starved dog
In deplorable surroundings.
There being no capital punishment
under Portuguese law, many of the
convicts were of course of the mnsi
denperate type—notorious murderers
and so on. Some of tbem. after
certain time and as a reward for good
conduct were allowed to work on
parole, leaving the fortress ln tin-
morning and returning at night, ply
ing their various trades to their own
advantage. Others of a more danger
ous character might oe seen working
In chains on the road, guarded bj

Outside the dungeou cells were
whipping posts, over which poor crea
tures had to kneel, their arms and
legs being bound to irou rings, while
lashes were administered with a ebl
cotte, n strip of hippo hide. Palms

UNSELFISH SAVAGES.
Generosity of the Semi*avage E kimo«
of Arctic Siberia.
Probnbly no more clnnnish—nnd un-
selfish-people exist than the native
of the orotic ro.-ist of Siberia, the low
est type of semisnvnpe Eskimos. They
are ever thinking of one another's wel-
fare. nnd if oile comes Into possession
of nnythimr of value he never thinks
of keeping it 'for himself, but en 111
the other members of the tribe to share
with him. If n whale Is taken or a
polar bear, caribou or walrus Is killed
the meat Is divided among all the
Igloos. Even during the hard winter,
when there Is u shorhige of food. If a
seal Is brought In by some fortunate
hunter the meat and blubber are equal
ly distributed
Four men from East Cape, the SI
herian side of Bering strait, were
taken aboard the whale ship Narwhal
to make up the boot crews for whaling
in the Arctic. All through the summer
season they remained aboard tbe ves
sel. doing their share of the perilous
and wearisome work. When the ves
sel returned to East Cape on its way
south the captain made a pile of flour
sugar, hard bread, calico, tobacco, car
trldges, needles and thread, tea. match
es—everything dear to the Eskimo
heart. It was their wages, and the Eh
klmos were proud of their wealth
The walrus hide canoes came along
side, and the four men were taken
Ht-hore with their riches. At the wa
fer's edge every article was delivered
t/j waiting hands, and when tbe men
who had worked all summer for these
necessaries and luxuries started for
their igloos they curried all they kept
for themselves In their hands. They
were almost as |>oor as they were when
they started on the cruise, but the v|l
l a ire was temporarily happy, and so

Suffered EverythingUntil Re-
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound.
Florence, So. Dakota.—" I used to be
very sick every month with bearing
down pains and
backache, and had
headachc a good
deal of the time and
very little appetite.
The pains were so
bail that I used to
sit right down on the
floor and cry, be-
cause it hurt me so
and I could not do
any work at those
times. An old wo-
man advised me to try Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound and 1 got a
bottle. I felt better the next month so
I took three more bottles of it and got
well so I could work all the time. 1
hope every woman who suffers like 1 did
will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." — Mrs. P. W. Lanseng,
Route No. 1, Florence, South Dakota.
Why will women continue to suffer day
in and day out or drag out a sickly, half-
hearted existence, missing thre«o-fourths
of the joy of living, when they can find
health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound?
For thirty years it has been the stand-
ard remedy for female ills, and has re-
stored the health of thousands of women
who have been troubled with such ail-
ments as displacements, inflammation,
ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc.
If yon want special advice write to
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co- (confi-
dential) Lynn, Mass. Your letter will
be opened, read and answered by a
woman and held in strict confidence.
