one trouble with most of them is that when
they do little good the patient has to take
so much that he gets to loathe the taste.
The Pineola Balsam is superior to other

plate and its good effects are immediate. In
a few days an ordinary cough is gone alto

ton No cause Of death was discer lible to the
mixed eye. but parts were removed and taken to
Hanover, n. H., for analysis. Many witnesses
were brought before the authorities last week
and as a suit Mrs. GEORGE Marsh, his wife, and
William Buzzel, the hired man, were arrested
and taken to Montpelier jail Saturday for safe
keeping The hearing in the cast began at Mont
pelier Monday. The testimony showed that the
respondents were very intimate. that Buzzell was
seen to give Marsh a white powder from glass;
and that the cupboard in an adjoining room was
wet with liquid. Respondents left tn" body to be
cared for by neghbors and were gone a day.

The DestructIveness of Modern warAr-
mRments.

1t is virtually impossible that anyone
can have accurately pictured to himself the
scene in its fulness which the next great
battle will present to a bewildered and
shuddering world. We know the ele-
ments that will constitute its horrors; but
we know them only, as it were, academi
cally. Men have yet to be thrilled to the
heart by the weirdness of wholesale death
inflicted by missiles poured from weapons
the whereabouts of which cannot be dis
cerned because of the absence of powder
smoke. Nay, if DIR. Wess's recently in
vented explosive, of which great things
have been predicted, is to be brought into
use in the German army, there may no
longer be any powder, the "vIllainous
saltpetre" superseded by the more devilish
''fatty substance of a brownish color. y
The soldier of the next war must steel his
heart to encounter the deadly danger Incl
dent to the explosions of shells filled with
dynamite, melinite, ballstite or some other
form of high explosive in the midst of
dense masses of men. The recent cam
paign in Matabeeland has informed us
with a grim triumph Of the sweeping
slaughter the Maxim gun can intlict with
its mechanical stream of bullets. Quick
firing field guns are on the eve of suppressed
ing the type of cannon in use in the horse
and field batteries of today. All these in
struments are on terra firma, if that be of
any account But if there is anything in
the story of Edison's invention of flying
machine for military purposes which can
be so steered as to carry and drop with ac-
curacy five hundred pounds of explosive
material at given point, or to shed on an
army a shower of dynamite, then death
incalcuable may rain down as from the
very heavens themselves.

a Lamp for the Feet.

One who carries lantern on country
road at night sees only one step before him.
If he takes that one step he carries the
lantern forward and thus makes another
step plain. At length he reaches his des-
tination in safety, without once going into
darkness. The whole has been made light
for him, though only single step at a time.
This illustrates the usual method of
Gods guidance. His word is represented
as a lamp unto the feet. 1t is lamp-not
a blazing sun, not even lighthouse, but a
plain common lamp or lantern which one
can carry about in his hand. 1t is a lamp
''unto the feet" not throwing its beams
afar, not illumining a hemisphere, but
shining only on the one little bit of dusty
road on which the pilgrims feet are walk
ing. The duty for the moment is always
clear, and that is as far as we need concern
ourselves; for when we do the little that
is clear we will carry the light on, and il
will shine upon the next moments step.

NtSRCS write Mrs. Pinkham for
advice during the last few months.
Think what a volume of experience
she has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated SO many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
ence surely it is more than possible
she ha, gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon aer. You will find her a woman
full OF sympathy. with Il great desire tc
assist those who are sick. If her mcdi.
cine is not what you need, she viii
frankly tell YOU so, and there are nine
chances out of ten that she will tell
YOU exactly what to do for relief. She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely. any ailing woman, rich or
poor. is very foolish if she does not
take advantage of this generous offer
Of assistance.
Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at
tanned by Lydia i. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, and never in the
history of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful
Compound has the demand for it been
SO great as it is to-day

EdIsOn's Wonderful Experiments with
the 'Roentgen RAYS.

Thomas A. Edison has progressed so far in his
experiments with the Roentgen ray that IL is now
possible to see with the naked eye through solid
block of wood eight inches in depth. This mar
velous feat was accomplished by Mr.. Edison Sat
urday in the presence of a reporter for the New
York Journal. The reporter himself, after Mr.
Edison had arranged all the apparatus so that the
best results could be seen, looked through the
eight-inch block, which was of solid, heavy yellow
pine, and distinctly the outlines OF his fin
gers at the ether end. MIR Edison declares that il
is simply a question of further experiment; and
more powerful light when the human eye will be
able to see through solid metals, brick walls
sealed letters and the human body. Mr.. Edison
believes there is no reason why physicians may
not look into our heart, lungs and stomach.
