easily understood and overcome. 1t
clearly proves that any woman may
become mother without suffering
any pain whatever. 1t also tells how
to overcome and prevent morning
sickness, swelled limbs, and all other
evils attending pregnancy. Itisrelia-
BILE and highly endorsed by physi-
clans everywhere as the wife's true
private companion. Cut this out; it
will save you great pain, and possibly
your life. Send two-cent stamp for

After giving Mr.. X time to
construct the figure, the unknown
prisoner began another series of
knocks, so grouped and spaced as to
indicate the lines and columns in
which the required letters were to be
found. Five knocks followed by
three knocks meant that the equiva-
lent letter would be found at the in
tersection of the fifth line and third
column; two knocks followed by one
knock indicated letter ST. at the in
tersection of line two and column
one; and five knocks followed bv
four knocks meant letter * at the
intersection Of line five, column four.
The first question asked by the I'M
known was SO % 80 IL 40 Is 80 80 81 .
"WhO are you" The prisoners then
exchanged brief biographies, and
Mr.. X discovered that he had
learned his a b c's and taken his first
lesson in prison telegraphy from a
common CRIMINAL burgler if | re-
member rightly-whO was awaiting
exile to Siberia"

Ages of Criminals.

Mo st criminals are young. Its sell
dom that a grave crime, provided it DO
the first, is committed after the age of
80 A careful statistician has proved
that of the entire population of En-
gland and Wales the largest proper
ton of criminals is found between the
ages of 20 and 25. Five times as
many crimes are committed in the five
years between these limits as in the ten
years between the ages of so and 60.
Dividing the whole population into
groups of those from 10 years to 10.
from Is to 20, from 20 to %. from rs to
80. from 80 to 40. from 40 to so, and
from so to 60. it is found that from the
age of 20 the tendency to crime de-
creases at each successive term SO per
cent. in the case. of women and 25 per
cent. in the case of men. - Chicago

COWS can generally be sold for cash on
the farms where they are raised to
persons who 60 about the country pick
Ing them up, while steers must ordi-
narily be sent to market at consider

has carload Of cows to dispose of is

ket for them at any of the great dairy
centers Of the country at or near the

The common aphis or plant louise
is so prolific and breeds with such
Iapidity that if nothing prevents it
propagation the progeny of single
aphis in ten broods would weigh rs
much as one.third the human popula-
ton of the globe. Unchecked in one
year they would destroy every patch
of vegetation in the world and create
widespread famine. This will ex-
plain what a plague was in Ely pit

The knock Alphabet"

The following is from George Ken
mans article on "Russian Provincial
Prisons" in the January Century. 1t
describes a means Of intercommunica-
ton resorted to by the Russian pris-
oners: "The talented Russian novel
list x, who has been twice exiled
to Siberia and half a dozen times i'm
prisoned, told me last summer that
when he was arrested for the first
time he had never even heard of the
"knock alphabet; and that when,
during the second day of his impris-
onment, he noticed a faint tapping on
the other side of the wall, he regard
ed It merely as an indication that the
adjoining cell was occupied, and gave
1t no particular attention. AS the
knocking continued, however, and
as the faint taps seemed to be definite
ly segregated into groups by brief
intervals of silence, he became con-
WINGED that his unknown neighbor
was endeavoring to communicate
with him. Upon what principle or
plan the knocks were grouped he did
not know, but he conjectured that the
number OF taps between two "rests"
might correspond with the serial
number of letters in the alphabet
one knock standing for "a two for
b. three for &C. and so on up to
twenty-six for T. Upon putting this
conjecture to the test he was delight
ed to find that the knocks resolved
themselves into the letters 'D-o-y-o-u-
understand" He replied with
forty-nine knocks, so grouped and
spaced as to make Yes; but long
before he had finished this short
word he became mournfully con-
sclous that, at the rate of forty-nine
knocks for every three letters, he and
his unknown correspondent would
not be able to exchange more than
half dozen ideas a week. The in
visible prisoner on the other side of
the wall did not seem, however, to be
at all discouraged, and began at once
another long series of knocks, which
extended to two hundred and ninety
six, and which, when translated, made
the words Teach you better way
listen! Mr.. X then heard one
loud tap near the corner of the cell.
followed by sound of scratching,
which proceeded from that point to-
ward the door at about the height OF
a mans head, as if the unknown
were drawing long horizontal line
with some hard substance on the 9TH
er side of the wall. After brief in.
terval of silence there came two STAG.
cato taps and the noise made by the
scratching ola second line parallel
with the first but a little lower down.
When seven of these invisible lines
had been drawn under one another
about foot apart, with group Of
knocks at the beginning of each ole
to denote its number, the unseen
artist went back to one knock, and
proceeded to draw six perpendicular
lines crossing the first series at right
angles, SO as to make huge audible
checke--board. AS soon as Mr.. x
heard this invisible diagram, the pur
pose for which it was intended flash
ed upon his mind, and before the un
known instructor had finished knock
ng out the words, Put alphabet il
squares, the quick-witted pupil hac
scratched upon the floor of his cell
reduced copy of the audible tracing
and was numbering its columns. Hi
diagram when finished looked some
thing like this:s

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-[Special Telegram to The
BEE. .l-CATTLE-Business was slow, more on
account Of lack of stock than any other fac
tor, as there was hardly five hundred head

rivals were Texans, nearly all Of which be-
longed 70 Swift, Armour and Morris, coming
direct from western points. So it will be
seen that there were no inducements to buy
ers to get out, even if they had orders, us
there was nothing on the market they
wanted. The sales Of natives consisted
largely of odds and ends Of what was left
last night, and so far as prices are concerned
there was little or no change as compared
with yesterday, and the general market
closed steady at the decline previously
noted. Excepting the spurt on Tues.
day the market has been profoundly
weak from opening to finish, but escaped
with an aggregate decline of 20a25c in COM

establish prices, but the fact that there was
one sale at $3.50 would indicate that there
has been no important change In the selling
