STOOD THE TEST.

ALLcocKs Porous PLAsTERs are unap-
proachable in curative properties. rapidity and
safety of action, and the only reliable Iplas-

stood the test of over thirty years use by the
public. their virtues have never been equalled
by the INSCRIPTIONS imitators who have sought
to trade upon the reputation of ALLcoCK's by
making pIasters with holes in them, and claiming
them to be lust as good as ALLCoCK's,". and
they stand today Endorsed by not only the high

is Mrs. Virginia Lull of the Chicago
Evening Journal, and it's correspond
ing secretary is Miss Eve FL. Brodlique
of the Chicago Times. Mrs Lull began
her work in the east on the Newark
Register, but is now book reviewer and
humorous writer for various western
papers, besides doing woman's work on
the Chicago Journal. Mrs. Lulls hus-
band is successful physician of Chicago,
and her home life is ideal.
Miss Brodlique is perhaps the most
earnest of the league workers, as the
duties of herposition as corresponding
secretary scarcely permit her interest to
wane even for day. Miss Brodlique
is French girl-a Canadian by birth
and boasts of having been the only wom-
an who ever went through an entire ses-
sion as parliamentary reporter in the
Canadian house of commons. She is
unique in style and piquant in face and
speech. She tells you that she is 81, al
though she does not look more than 18,
and then she adds that she is not
beauty nor genius, but just an earnest
woman worker and an enthusiast in the
work of the Press league.
Among the other distinguished mem
bers is the talented Antoinette Van Hoe
sen Wakeman of the Chicago Evening
Post, who is it's treasurer and to whom
the league is indebted for many of its
most valuable and sensible resolutions
in it's constitution.
Mrs. Wakeman is one of the founders
Of the Illinois Woman's Press associa-
ton. She had done no writing except in
connection with her charitable work in
Chicago until 1886, when she adopted
literature as profession. She estab-
Gshed The journal of Industrial Educa-
ton, and after hard struggle for exist
ence turned it over to the trustees on a
paying basis at the end of year.
During this time Mrs. Wakeman was
also doing editorial work on The Cur
rent. She is the author of book en-
titled "Studies of Dickens the Teacher"
She has always been prolific contribu-
tor of short poems to the periodicals, but
withal she has never neglected the chart
table work which endeared her to the
poor of Chicago. She has done consider

able work at different periods of her
professional career on the Chicago
Times, was once editor of an ambitious
quarterly review, and has built several
publications up from the condition of
'struggledom" into solid money making
institutions. Altogether Mrs. Wakeman
is one of the most untiringly indust-i-
GUS and VERSATILITY talented of the many
bright women who have earned reputa-
tons in American literature andj journal
ism.
And, then, there is Pauline Given
Swain, who edits, manages and owns the
Oskaloosa Herald of Iowa, and who repre-
Bents the press women Of her state at
the Worlds fair. Mrs. Swain, while still
schoolgirl, had given evidence of the
possession of journalistic ability and
was offered position on the Oskaloosa
Register. She decided, however, that it
was poor policy for prospective liter
airy woman to permit anything to inter-
fere with her education. She therefore
persistently declined the place until she
had graduated, when she accepted it and
satisfactorily discharged the duties for
some years. After her marriage she
jointly edited the Oskaloosa Herald with

her husband, and her excellent work on
that paper quickly caused her to be rec
ognized as one Of the brightest of women
journalists in the west. Previous to this
the couple had ably edited the Jefferson
Bee and the Fort Dodge Messenger.
Mrs. Swalm's style Is direct, and while
exceedingly graceful is never fowery.
Another member is Mrs. Cornelius
Gardiner, formerly the Ruth Kimball
of the St. Paul Globe and the repre-
sentative league member from Mime
sofa, but now vigorous Washington
correspondent.
The Press league contains the names
of many of the women lawyers of the
country who have written on law top
les for the daily press, and also women
doctors and women clergymen who find
1t of benefit to them in their work. No
dead wood is allowed, for there is a
clause in the constitution which says
that no one is eligible to membership
who has not been within twelvemonth
fonnectcd with some reputable publica-
zion as an editor, special writer or re-
porter.
All the league members are most en-
thusiastic in their praises of the work
which the society is doing by rendering
assistance in the gathering of news,
and already plans are being laid for the
accumulation of fund to aid dis
abled members and for obtaining posi-
lions for those in search of new fields Of
labor.
With few more years of prosperity
like the last one, the members declare
that their organization shall rival in
strength the Actors Fund association
and all the other powerful societies
which are recognized powers in the va
rious professions to which they belong.

ent year. To appoint regular time and
place for the meeting of so many busy
women workers is impossible, so the Of
ficers Of the league have determined to
allow the convention to extend over sew
eral months so as to give all the mem
bers chance to be present at some of
the proceedings.
The Woman's National Press league
now numbers more than 800 members
They are scattered all over the United
States and represent every state from
Maine to California. There is not state
in the Union which has not at least one
member, and many of them have half a
dozen.
The president of the league is Miss
Mary e.. Krout of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. and she is also chairman Of the
Congress Auxiliary Daily Press in con-
nection with the Worlds fair.

parlla in my family for about three months, and
will say l think it the best medicine we have
ever used. First, gave it to my little girl, one
year and half old. She had been poisoned
with sugar of lead and came near loosing her
life the first of last winter, and never seemed
well after
This spring she had risings in the ear, and
large bunch came upon the neck. 1t had been
there about a month, and seemed very painful.
She also seemed very nervous, we thought from
the effects of the poisoning. 1 felt she needed
something for the blood, your medicine,
and thought would try it. She had not taken
more than one-fourth of bottle before could
see great improvement. She has taken a
whole bottle, and is the picture of health.
Thanks to Kings Sarsaparilla.

ONE BIG DIAMOND.
A Man In Brazil La Made Rich by Find
ing 1t.


"A Man In Brazil La Made Rich by Find
ing 1t.
Diamonds, are rather plentiful, now
adays," said jeweler to n representa-
tive OF the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
"but like many great men, there arc
very few large ones. We all know of
the Kohinoor, the whilom treasure of
the kahn of Persia, and again the
great orange diamond, now in possess
sion Of the German emperor; but the
largest diamonds are not always finest
sometimes large diamond fails to
sparkle properly, lacks radiance and
color Such stone upon being divided
will often make several very brilliant
and valuable small diamonds, whose
aggregate value would be more than
the great Colorless original. In the
early dawn of civilization diamonds
were the cause Of more crime than even
gold or silver. They have been swal-
lowed for safe-l1ecping, frequently caus-
ing death.
Murder after murder can be traced
to one or the other of these great dia-
monds as the principal cause. Some
dire state iltrigucS and plots have had
diamond for the center or nucleus.
One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazil
ian sands. 1t c2mc in Il novel form. Il
small quartz rock was found, about the
size and shape of an egg, lying in tho
sands along the bank of the Amazon.
in Brazil. This was carried home by :
Brazilian peasant, who was attracted
by its good shape and light weight.
For some time it lay in his home
with number of other geological
specimens, a nerc curiosity. Happen
ing one day in handling it to drop it on
4 stone block, it burst open and lay i.
halves on the block. The hollow in
terror that gave the light weight to the
stone was filled with blood red sand.
In this sand lay the diamond, spark
ling gem of the rarest quality. The
stone WAS later sold to diamond MGR
chant, and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.
''ft is safe to- say that the next egg
shaped stone found in that section will
not long remain unbro!lcn, ard now
that the quality and value Of q diamond
so formed is well known the next finder
will realize fortune ont of it. most Ger
