The thumb a Preventive to Forgery.

If q nan wishes to make s of q
signature which it is impossible for
anyone to forge or counterfeit, I'LL he
has to do is to dip his thumb in nn ink
bottle and make a dark mark with it
In connection with his signature. No
other thumb will make exactly the
same mark. and 1t would practically
be impossible for anyone to initiate it
with q pen or other mechanical means.
An experiment with the thumb
mark may be made by anyone who
will take a knife blade, hold it over a
lamp till it is black with smoke, allow
it to cool, apply the thumb to the black
surface, then lightly press 1t upon q
slightly sticky piece Of paper, such as
the back of a postage stamp. When
examined under a magnifying glass
the difference in the thumb-marks Of
different individuals comes out very

He did not have long to wait, for at
ESQ O'Clock he noticed that off in the

line of ants slowly making their way
in the direction of the pies. They
seemed like q vast army coming forth
to attack an enemy. In front was q
leader, who always kept a little ahead
of his troops. They were of the sort
known as the medium-sized red unit,
which is regarded as the most intelli-
gent of its kind, whose scientific name
is fOrmica rubra.

person, who has had very trying expe-
rience. Like SO many ladies who have
peculiar pains which they often do not un-
derstand. occasional headaches, loss ofap-
petite. blues, bearing down sensations and
such troubles, she thought she was only
suffering from a cold, which perhaps
would pass away very soon, and go it did,
but it returned in short time even worse
than before. In this way she lived along
for nearly year, when she suddenly dis
covered that she was suffering from that
greatest of modern scourges, BrlghtS dis
ease of the kidneys.
Now, the great trouble with her, as with
so many other men and women, was that
she did not know what allied her. Here
Is what she says, in her own words:
Despite the attendance of skilled ply
sicianS, my illness increased, and they
stated that another attack of my malady
would most assuredly prove fatal. 1t was
at this time, at the solicitation of friends,
that l decided to try remedy of which
had heard much and knew but little. l
confess l had little faith, because / thought
that l was doomed. but almost immed1-
ateIy | felt an improvement, which con-
tinued until l was finally restored TO per-
feet health, and feel that / owe my life
entirely TO the use OF Warmers S Sale cure,
which alone took me from the depths of
misery and restored me to health. Now,
whenever l feel as though any of the
symptoms / then had are returning, L
take some of the Safe Cure, and immedi-
ately feel better; and must say that /
now feel as well as in my girlhood, and it
is entirely due to this remedy"

New York. Hers is not an isolated expe-
rience. 1t is precisely what hundreds of
other ladies have found true in their
lives. It shows that if women continue
TO suffer and let the trials Of life weigh
them down when they should be joyful,
they have only themselves to blame.
There is means of relief; of restoration.
1t is pure. it is safe, it is woman's best
friend. By its use she can be enabled to
withstand the ills of life and secure both
health and happiness.
