Dear Mrs. Pinkhdm, - Last winter
did not think my little ones would have
mother long. suffered terribly with
female troubles.
l could keep nothing on my stomach,
and got so ''poor" my friends hardly
knew me. I suffered with severe head
aches, dizziness, faintness, backache, and
the blues.
Thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. l am now as fat as ever,
and have no female troubles.
If you use my letter hope it may be
the means of saving some ether poor
mothers life as it did mine. - MRS. ELLA

Severe Ordeal Imposed Upon One Of the
Officers Of tho DrsSooa Guards.
The other day, says the London Daily
News, Emperor William had the sec
ond regiment of dragoon guards called
out suddenly on to the Tempelhof
common. He then called an officer,
Count Won Wedel. known to be good
rider, and handed him a message for
the king of Saxony with the order to
ride at once to Dresden and give it to
him. Count von Wedel set out imme-
diately, attended by sergeant, and
arrived after twenty-five hours ride
at Dresden.
The ride took SO long = time, firstly,
on account of the severe cold and the
slippery state of the roads, and, Sec
ondly, because Count von Wedel was
not allowed to ride on the high road
from Berlin to Dresden, but had to take
roundabout ways, the supposition be-
ing that q hostile army had occupied
the territory between the two capitals,
and that the rider had to pass unno-
ticed through the enemy's lines. Count
Won Wedel arrived in very exhausted
state at the royal castle, and, immedi-
ately after the audience with the king,
tainted away. He was taken into an
adjoining apartment, where he soon
recovered. His horse was also very
fatigued, though the attending ser
geant and his animal were not much
worse for the ride. At the kings re-
quest Count Won Wedel did not return
to Berlin on horseback, but BY rail-

A MUD VOLCANO.
The Natural Curiosity Of the Island OF
Sumatr1.

The Natural Curioslty Of the Island OF
Sumatrs.
There are many mud volcanoes scat
tered throughout the world, but there
aye few whose action is SO regular and
80 characteristic as that of Dempo in
the island of Sumatra. This volcano,
about ten thousand feet In height, was
visited by Henry o. Forbes few years
ago, and is described in HIS "Wander-
ings in the Eastern Archipelago"
After breathless climb he had gained
the rim of the crater, from which he
looked down some three hundred feet
Of precipitous rock to what seemed q
white, polished mirror set in central
basin. From this basin was slowly ris-
ing q column of steam.
All was quiet and placid, and I sat
down q little while to take in the de-
tails of scene so novel; q vast circular
basin half mile in diameter, with
rocky sides of sheer precipices, dis
playing at various places horizontal
strata; at the bottom of this another
smaller basin, some two hundred feet
in diameter, filed to within about thir-
ing substance, whose surface. like bur-
nished silver, reflected the blue sky
and every passing cloud.
We had sat thus for perhaps ten or
twelve minutes, when noted that the
center of the white basin had become
intensely black, and was scored with
dark streaks. This area gradually in
creased. BY steady scrutiny. with my
glass. for it was difficult to make out
what was slowly and silently taking
place, l at last discovered that the
blackness marked the sides of chasm
that had formed in-what now per-
ceived the white FURNISHED mirror to
be-a lake of seething mud.
The blackness increased. The lake
was being engulfed! A few minutes
later dull, sullen roar was heard, and
had just time to conjecture within
myself whence it proceeded when the
whole lake hcaved, and rose in the air
for some hundreds of feet, not as if
violently elected, but with calm, ma
jestic upheaval, and then fell back on
itself with an awesome roar, which re-
verberated round and round the vast
caldron. and echoed from rocky wall to
rocky wall like the surge of an angry
sea; and the immense volume of steam.
let loose from its prison house, dissi-
pated itself into the air.
The wave circles died away on the
margin of the lake, which resumed its
FURNISHED face and again reflected the
blue sky; and silence reigned again un-
til the geyser had gathered force for
another expiration.
The roar of the coming explosion
was so awesome that my porters. who
had never been to the top before, looked
the picture of terror, and when the
lake rose. they took to their heels and
fled in body.
Thus all day long the lake was swal-
lowed up and vomited forth once in
every fifteen or twenty minutes. Thatit
was not always SO quiet even as now
the stones on the Sawah and the scoriR
on the sides of the cone testified. Once
in about every three years. the natives
told me, the crops of coffee. bananas and
rice were quite destroyed by sulphur
rain" which covered everything for
miles round the crater.

is member of bod Backer's circus.
but has been occupying winter quar-
ters as side attraction at Elston's sa-
loon on East Water street, and was left
chained during the temporary absence
of the proprietor. He managed, how
ever, to free himself, and walked over
behind the bar. He glanced In the big
looking glass back of the row Of col
ored bottles, and seeing another fell
low of his own size, picked up q decan-
ter and let it 60 with his right, and
Mr.. Elston's two hundrcd-dollar glass
was a wreck. His opponent having
been got rid of, the monkey proceeded
to taste the various liquid refreshments
on hand. He turned on the beer and
took long deep draught. Then he
sampled the whisky, gin, wine and
various kinds of bitters. It wasn't long
until he was roaring drunk. Then he
tacgled the cigar case and demolished
that, throwing the cigars about tho
room in handfuls. The monkeys
screams and the noise of shattered
glass attracted crowd about the front
Of the saloon, but the door was locked
and there was no way to get It, Finally
two policemen came and boosted
bold young fellow through the tran
som. After . lively tussel he managed
to get a rope around the drunken
and he was hoisted through
the window and escorted by the two
policemen, one on each side, to jail
and lodged in cell. The next morn
ing the prisoner was. very sick and held
his head between his paws. Although
it was his second offeDse the recorder

back to the saloon and chained up.
The next time he gets drunk the owner
will send him to the Keeley cure ct
