The basis of calculation between cause
and chance Is to be reckoned, so far as
mathematics can figure out a result, up.
on data like tho following: The rules be
ing, of course, the recognized mathemati-
cal ones that the chance of the concur
renee of two independent events is the
product of their separate probabilities.
We know there is more or less frequency
of recurrence than fixed average; then
for or against the probability, there Is
some cause at work. The chance of one
or the other of two phenomena occurring,
when two cannot occur, is the sum Of
their different probabilities. For instance
SIN the fall OF 1902 says Mr.. j. w.
Ames, Fairmont, Neb., May 81, 1887,
'my wife suffered Intensely with what
the doctors called sciatic rheumatism,
and was helpless. Tried everything to no
purpose, She wanted to try St, Jacobs
OIL, but the doctors said mo- but ! got
1t, tried it and it stopped the pain. She
improved, and in short time she had nc
use for crutches. No return of pain In
seven years." Mr.. w. W. Hall, Adams
Express Co Brooklyn, N. T., was cured
of scistic rheumatism by st Jacobs OIL,
and writes under date Of May 5. 1887: al
am still of the same opinion of its cura-
tive qualities for sciRtic rheumatism"
The probability OF ST Jacobs OIL curing
every time is reckoned upon known facts
tOut of the twenty million bott 'es sold moi
lone In ten thousand ever fails to relieve
all ailments for which It Ia specific; the
lchance against the probability Is so slighi
there must be some cause, and the cause
Is found to be that it is not properly ap
Iplied or not taken in time The chances
are so overwhelmingly In its favor that
the marvellous cures wrought by 1t ar,
the offset to the few cases wherein 1t fails
and are proofs that where properly uset
it will cure aud never fails.

Every woman to Haye a Ha.pand


The bachelor from choice will quake
In his boots on learning that In the
higher civilization, according to Mrs.
Livermore's declaration In the Inter-
nstiopal Council of Women yesterday,
every man will have o wife and every
woman a husband. The oratrix held
that that would be an ideal state of
things, as no doubt 1t would. In that
era OF double blessedness the wife, bhe
said, would be the "breadmaker." But
she would not have social equity until
she had legal equality Hence the
ideal wife In ths higher civilization
must have the ballot. As for the women
In homes Of luxury, who say they
nave oil the rights they want" they
are "shirks" and Towards, and In
Mrs, Ltvermore's opinion not at all the
estimaole persons most persons think
them.
