For Lady Readers.


The discovery Of McElree's Wine
of Cardui has brought about rev.
olution In the treatment of the com.
mon complaints, from which all
women sometimes suffer, called "Fe-
male Diseases" The belief that
these troubles could only be treated
after examinations by physicians.
frequently only cured by the sur
geon's knife, was widespread. The
dread of such treatment, and expo
sure, kept thousands of modest wo-
men silent about their suffering.
They preferred the pains and tor
ture to going to physician about
such matters. II has now been
demonstrated that nine cases out of
ten of women's disorders, painful
and troublesome though they are,
do not require the attention of a
physician at all. Local treatment"
or "private examinations" have been
shown to be entirely unnecessary.
The simple, pure Wine of Cardui,
taken in the privacy of the home,
insures quick relief. It is entirely
unnecessary for any woman TO suf.
fer from these almost universal
complaints. She can get bottle OF
Wine of Cardui at the
nearest drug store for II and quick
ly put an end to the unpleasant de-
Thousands of women
are well today because they did that.

occurred yesterday, when a gentle
man stepped into this Office and
purchased 100 or more to feed 10 his

shreds and soaks in sour milk until
the whole mass becomes a pulp
when he feeds il to the hens, and he
claims that it adds greatly TO their
reproducing quantities. The
newspaper is gradually extending
it's field of usefulness. From food
for thought it has expanded until
within its sphere is already includ-

NOT A PLACE FOR POOR MEN
Cost of Living in the Transvaal Will
Beggar Ordinary Mortals

Many persons go to the Transvaal in
the belief that it is an Ell Dorado, whose
riches may be harvested by the mere
act of STOPPING to lift gold from the sur
face Of the round. Many have returned
thoroughly disillusioned. The cost of
living at johannesburg is excessive. Ho-
tells charge Sc a day, and no rebate for
length of stay. Board at private houses,
English and German, is SIS month for
one occupant of room. Houses unfur-
nished rent from $50 to $500 month.
and 40 per cent additional is charged for
those that are furnished. Native negro
domestics receive from 500 to $25 a
month; white servants receive from 81
to Sc a day. Beef or mutton, tough,
and often tainted costs Is cents a
pound; pork 20 cents; veal, $1.60 a
pound. The price of poultry is almost
prohibitive. Game, during the season,
is moderately cheap. Vegetables are at
times unobtainable, except those in cans
imported from the United States. Drinks
at a bar cost 25 cents each. Ordinary
aerated water is sold for 60 cents battle
The price of champagne is not given, be-
cause none but owners of Kaffir mines
can afford to purchase, it. Washing
costs 81 dozen, whether it be collar,
Ia handkerchief. or pair of stockings.
After four washings the articles are use
less. The mineral dust that is con-
stantly driving through the air destroys
heavy clothing in few weeks and linen
in few days. 1t is said that three
novings equal fire. In johannesburg
this applies to single moving, for it
costs $3.50 to move.-New York Sun.

Ads in 1892

Houghton went the rounds of all pro-
fessions, he himself announcing that he
would first induce to advertise COUNSEL
lors and attorneys, then surgeons and
gardeners, lawyers, schools, and wood
mongers, brokers, coaches and carriers,
in the order named. AS result of his in
dustry and perseverance we find that a
motley collection of articles was, adver-
tised in subsequent issue Of his paper.
Among these may be mentioned oxguts.
hoops onions, pictures, feathers, quills,
gherkins, masks, leather, painted sticks,
sweet SOAP Scotch GOALS and a host Of
other articles. 1t is evident that, owing
to the efforts of Houghton an apprecia-
tion of the benefits of newspaper adver-
tising was beginning to become general.
In fact the advent and the work of
Houghton mark an era in the evolution
of newspaper advertising. The style he
introduced was cumbersome and arti-
fetal, but he impressed on his contem-
poraries the great usefulness Of the
newspaper as an advertising medium.
The advertising of the next century
the eighteenth-bears the impress of his
work. Curiously enough, it did not make
much improvement on his methods. 1t
remained for the nineteenth century to
advance the art to a higher plane.-Oscar

The aspect of Canea has greatly

European nationalities, whose varied and
picturesque costumes add much to the
interest of the scene. Among these the
Seaforth Highlanders, the Italian Ber-
saglieri, and the tall, athletic Montene-
grins, clad in red Jackets, blue knicker-
bockers, and white hose, are perhaps
the most conspicuous. Smart-fooking
shops have been opened by enterprising
immigrants, an international club has
been established. European comfortas
hitherto unknown in the island can now
be purchased, though at rather high
prices well-appointed restaurants pro-

fears are not altogether unfounded. Some
Christians from Akrotiri who ventured
into the town in order to sell cheese and
milk, were set upon in the market place
and their property was plundered. The
two MOhammedans who were the princt-
pal aggressors were arrested and hand
cuffed by Montenegrin gendarmes. This
treatment at the hands of infidels aroused
much indignation among the Moham-
medans, and, at a meeting held last
night, at which several Beys were pres
ent, angry protests were raised. At
Gambia seven Christians are reported
to have been attacked and beaten by
Mohammedans yesterday. The Moelem
population, emboldened by the news Of
Edhem Pasha S victories, threaten to re-
sort to violence If the powers persist in
their intention of effecting the with

DENVER, Col, July 9.-The first busi-
ness of the last days session of the Ma
tional Gold Mining Convention was the
selection of place for holding the next
convention in 1898. Milwaukee withdrew
from the contest. and after call of the
States, Omaha also withdrew before the
announcement of the vote. Salt Lake
City was thereupon declared the unani-
nous choice Of the convention.
The report of the Committee on Reso-
lutions was considered section by Sec
ton. Speeches were limited to five min
utes. The resolution memoralizing Con-
gress to throw open all mineral lands
of Spanish grants in California, Arizona,
New Mexico and Colorado to location as
mining claims, was adopted. The reso-
luton relating to the proposed new Cab
met Bureau of Mines and Mining was
adopted and referred to the committee
appointed by the chair to take necessary
steps toward securing a constitutional
amendment for establishing such a bu-
reau. A minority report. declaring for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 to l. was offered by dele
gate from New Mexico, and objected to
as out of order.
President Prince held that the point
of order was not we'll taken, and on mo-

The experimental use of signals by the

the use of an apparatus looking very

visible for quite a distance. When the
vehicle is to go straight out the arm Of
the semaphore is placed straight up; if
to go to the right or left into another
street the arm of the semaphore is in
clined in that direction. AS the signals
are always set for the next corner, driv-

they have to do in order to get out of the
