A YoUNG WIFE GREATEST TR1AL.-The greatest trial of a young wifes life is the birth of child, which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, new book, by Dr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth but results from causes easily understood and overcome. It proves conclusiyely that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swelled limbs, ner- yousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles. Physicians high ly recommend it, and say it will do all that is claimed for it., Send 8 two-cent stamp for full descriptive circular and private confidential letter sent in sealed envelope.

PoTAsKA promptly relieves sore throats, colds.

The conclusion reached by Joseph Wharton, of Philad. lphia, from experi- ments made with dust found in the snow fall of January 20, last, that the brilliant twilights of the past winter were caused by volcanic particles in the air, finds corrobo- ration in the experience of the ship Ridg- way, which arrived at this port last week. MT. Wharton has secured from the ship specimens of pumice which covered the sea on that portion of her voyage when about 500 miles from the island of Kraka- toa, the scene of the Javan volcauic con- vulsion. He finds this pumice to be sub- stantially identical in its composition and structural arrangement with the strange dust he found in the snow.

A Volcanic leland.

New York Evening Post: The re.
Gently formed volcanic island of the
coast of Iceland, has not disappeared
after all, though both a Danish and
French vessel sent in search failed to
find any traces. The British consul,
however, lately went on purpose to
Cape Reykjanes and managed to OBJ
tain a short view, though troubled by
mist and fog. Since the island was
first seen by the lighthouse-keeper, on
July 20, the shape has considerably
altered. Part of the south side has
fallen into the sea, forming two little
mounds and leaving steep face,
while tie sea fowls have taken posses
sion of the new ground. The island
lies west Of southwest of Reykjanes,
at considerable distance from the coast
and is close to the spot where violent
eruption occurred two years ago. No
volcanic manifestations accompanied
the islands first appearance but few
days later, severe earthquake shocks
were felt, seriously damaging the
Reykjanes lighthouse.
