Railroad Writing Desk,

Travellers on railroads have long
hoped for the invention Of an appii-
ance which would enable them to write
without difficulty on board a train
while in motion. The little tables that
are fixed to the side of palace car do
not meet the purpose, as the vibration
Of the train is felt, and sudden curves
cause slips of the PEN
A German railroad has just been
equipped with an appliance which ia
said to work well. 1t is board sus-
pended from the ceiling by strong but
elastic cords, which not only prevent
vibration, but the swinging motion of
the car is not communicated A small
charge is made for the use of this
swinging desk.

Tubes for Carrying Mall.

A mail tube is under consideration
for carrying mail between the New
York and Brooklyn postoffces. If built
it will cross the bridge and be operated
by electricity or pneumatic pressure.
The bridge trustees ask rental of
SIS 900 for the first two years and Sc, O0C
year thereafter. 1t Is stated that the
postofIice department is willing to pay
from $4,000 to $4,000 year to COM
pany that will transport the mail by
tube. The plan would greatly expe-
dite the interchange of letters between
the two cities, and 1t is to be hoped
that 1t may be carried out.

advice during the last few months.
Think what volume of experience
che 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 has gained tho very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call
upon her. You will find her a woman
full of sympathy, with great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-
cine is not what you need, she will
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 e. Pinkham's Vege-
cable Compound, and never in the
history of Mrs. Pinkhams wonderful
Compound has the demand for 1t been
so great as it is to-day.

has been the presence of ice and water IN

Heart Surgery.

Heart surgery Is a possibility suggested
by a prominent surgeon. In view of cases
on record In which the heart has resisted
the effect of gunshot and other wounds for
hours and even days, It is at least open TO
discussion, he says. whether a surgeon
might not open the pericardium, clean out
the clots and close the wound in the heart
wall with a chance for the patient of re-
covery which certainly could not be les
sened by the attempt. 1t is claimed that
this is no more improbable now than the
safe removal of a tumor from the motor
area of the brain seemed to be in the re-
cent past. That the application of sutures
would necessarily stop the action Of the
heart is not proved; and if it should be.
there would remain a question of possibly
starting it again. The danger from the en-
trance of air into the circulation has been
nroved not so great has been supposed.
