The Railway Mail Service.

The railway mail service of the United
States has reached vast proportions.
Mails are carried on 169,76s miles of
railway. Postal clerks are employed in
the distribution of the mails on las, 401
miles, the service on the remaining TO-,
367 miles being performed by means of
closed pouches. The rolling stock of
railway post office lines consisted of
$50 whole cars in use and IT'S in reserve;
1911 apartment cars in use and 526 in
reserve, making a total of 3.162 cars
under the control of the department.
There are 1,136 railway post office lines

Then that night-the night of the
first public perfo1 nance of Izeyl, as |
saw her unearthly power sustaining
her marvellous art, it came overwhclm
ingly into my mind that Sarah Bern
liardt acted so well because she had
enacted all the roles of tragedy and
comedy in her own life before setting
foot on the mimic stage. Like Rachael.
Duse, Salsini, Clara Morris, the Booths
and Henry Irving, she had drained the
emp of sorrow in the tender years of
childhood, while happy women were
guarded from all knowledge of life.
Is it bereavement by death that Sarah
has been hers in life.
Is it the torture of poverty and trial
of disappointment? She has only to re-
enact her carly life.
Is it that torture, the acutest suffer-
ing of sensitive nature, from the cal.
rmny of scandalous tongues? She has
always known it.

THE CONDUCTOR GOT LEFT.

Extraordinary Predicament Which Kept
the Passengers Guessing.
The Shore line express from Boston
for New York had left Attleboro, Mass,
and was rushing toward Providence.
The train was rs minutes late. Sud-
denly the brakes were applied. Dodge
vile, the next village, was almost
reached when the train stopped and
most of the men jumped out to discover
the cause. None of them was success
full. The train began to back and it
kept on backing; the Man Who Knows
Everything said:

The conductor got left And when
the conductor appeared on his next trip
through the train he had to run the
gauntlet of whole trainful of highly
amused passengers. The brakeman
explained that this wasn't the first con-
ouctor who had been left because the

TRUSTING WOMEN.
THEIR CONFIDENCE OFTEN LEADS
TO SUFFERING.
An Ohio Woman's Experience, as Here
Related, is Interesting to Every
American Woman.


1t is very sad fact that the more a
woman trusts to the skill of her physician
In treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt to suffer.
Lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus.
tive study that has enabled the women of
the world to help themselves. She dis
covered the source of female complaints,
and produced the Vegetable Compound,
which is their absolute cure.
When such testimony as the following
is given, the woman who thinks should
act quickly, and no longer permit herself
to trust to incompetent doctors. The
Vegetable Compound is sold by all drug
gists, and every woman should have it.
