KNOW THYSELF.
Science Helps You to Be Your
Own Doctor.
The Story of n Woman Who Kept Posted
on the Work of Science and Saved
Her Own Life.
From the Era. Bradford. Pa.


Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, and too
many doctors are still plOdding In the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much OF
our suffering will como to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means of keeping well, in the hands
of the sick a means of recovery. To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered helpI
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. 216 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, a reporter, learning that
Mrs. ROwend had been greatly benefited by
the use of new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
a female trouble for many years She had
been doctored for the ailment for long
time-in fact, nearly all her life--and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief. During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
to perform her household duties.
Il never believed in proprietary medi-
cincs," said Mrs. ROwend, "but one day last
fall read an article in n newspaper which
told of the cures effected by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, and decided to try the medi-
| cine. Before L had taken the contents of
one box began to feel better. The depress-
| ing weakness which had bothered me Tor so
many years began to disappear, and the ac-
lion OF the heart at once became stronger
| and more regular.
Il took nine boxes OF the pills and am
| now feeling better than l have for several
years, and L have unbounded faith in the
| medicine"
Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in health
and strength and gives all the credit for her
| restoration to health to DIR. Williams Pink
| Pills for Pale People.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain al the
elements necessary to give new life and
| richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
Or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. Y, for
~ cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

a French apholoeist Says That It In
dictates the Writer'S Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter 1T" alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality of
life, and the horizontal bar the influ-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
part of the vertical line-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line CORE
spends to the practical and material
part of the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
It's with q line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet often crosses his is quite above
the vertical line; in other words, in the
sky.
The pessimist crosses his is with a
downward sloping stroke. The line
which commences at the ideal portion
of the letter, descends little by little un.
til it is lost among the sad realities oil
earthly existence.
The practical man, it appears, always
steers a middle course. and crosses his
is neither in the ideal nor in the ma,
terial, but exactly midway between the
two.

FROM SPAIN.
Ex-Consui Taylor Makes a Tour
Through That Country.
Spain Not Aversc to War With the United
states-ignorance Regarding the Sine
and Resources of Our Country
People Infiamed by the Press.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Among the
passengers on board the American line
steamship New York were Mr.. and
Mrs. Hobart Chatfield Taylor, of Chi
cago.
Mr.. Taylor was the consul of Spain
at Chicago during the Worlds fair and
he and his wife have been making a
tour of Spain. They went aboard on
September | and spent some time in
Madrid, but had left before the break
ing out of the Barcelona riots. Mr..
Taylor was not surprised at the
troubles, as the feeling against Amer
lea and Americans was intense in
Spain.
Spain is proud and sensitive" said
Mr. Taylor, "and have no doubt that
She Is not averse to war with the
United States. There appears, as far
as ! was able to see, only one opinion
in Spain regarding the Cuban
troubles, and that is that the rebel
lion must be overcome if il takes
every drop of Spanish blood and every
peseta of Spanish treasure. Spain is
confident that she can quell the revolu-
ton if this country does not step in.
She has improved wonderfully since the
last Cuban war, and is consequently
better equipped to deal with the insur-
gents than before.
while in Madrid, talked with po-
litical leaders, such as Senior Moret,
formerly minister of foreign affairs;
Sagasta, leader of the liberals, and Sill
veta, conservative leader. From
these talks / am led TO believe that the
Spanish leaders understand the iusti-
buttons and people of the United States
far better than our own political
leaders. do those of old Spain.
Outside of the better classes there
is great amount of ignorance regard
ing the size and resources of this conn
try. The men / have mentioned, and
their colleagues, realize the effects of
a war with the United States, and
realize the great odds against which
their country would have TO fight. Con-
sequently they do not wish to precipi.
tate a war and few of them believe that
Spain would have any chance of being
successful.

ing America, and believe that the adj
vantage would all be on the side OF
Spain in case of war with the United
States. IL is urged that Spain has nc
great amount of commerce, and the
Spanish privateers could prey upon
American commerce and drive the flag
from the seas Spanish papers are full
of such absurd statements, and the
people believe them. They believe the
Americans are a nation of merchants
and that commercial interests entirely
control its foreign policy. They be
lieve that America is run by Wall
street. The prominent Spanish leaders
still refuse to recognize a state of wal
in Cuba, and profess to believe that the
Cuban insurgents are mere bandits"

DUN'S REPORT.
a N'sekiy Review of business Through
out the United States.

New York, April 11.-R. q. Dun &
Co sayr Saturday in their weekly re-
view of trade:
Failures for the past week have been
200 in the United States against POI last
year, and IS in Canada against 81 last
year.
The volume of business has not, on
the whole, increased nor have prices
apprcciably advanced since April |,
when the range for all commodities
was the lowest ever known in this
country. Breadstuffs and iron prod
ucts have risen slightly, but some other
articles have declined, and the root of
the matter is that demand for consump-
ton is still below expectations.
The injury done To winter wheat by
storms and frosts at the west
would appear from reports of state ofli-
GERS To have been considerable. But
the reports are not more gloomy than
year ago, and the quantity of wheat
which has come from farms since Au-
gust has been l63, Isl ,s94 bushels,
against 100, OF, $50 tn the same date last
year.

one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-

THE late Gen. Casey was sometimes
brusque in manner, and had habit
of speaking his mind to everyone. His
candor won him many cordial enemies,
but those who understood the service
he was rendering the government and
who appreciated his integrity had great
admiration for the man and he had the
confidence of congress. He had many
controversies with other officials of the
war department, for he was a progress
sive, prompt official himself and had
little patience with government red
tape.
