With the exception of the not
ed Worlds Fair number of The
Cosmopolitan, which reached a
price of S. copy after the last
edition had been exhausted, no
stronger number of this maya
zine has ever been issued than
that for July, 1897. The report
of Julian Hawthorne, the special
commissioner sent by The Co.'S
mopolitan to India to investigate
the horrors of the plague aud
famine, is of an extraordinary
character, and will open the eyes
of the world to conditions which
were scarcely suspected. The
same number contains what is
probably the greatest poem of
this quarter of the nineteenth
century. This new rendering of
Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat, which
departs entirely from Fitzger-
AIDS, occupies four pages.
Amelie Rives reappears as a
ry-teller for the first time
since her marriage with Prince
Troubetzkoy. One of the clev-
crest stories yet from the pen of
Robert w. Chambers is given.
The remarkable story of the War
of the Martins, by Wells, which
is attracting the attention both
of the scientific and non-scientific
ood-story-loving public, is con-
tinued, and there is a fourth

college, who after years of patient in
vestigation and study, assisted by all
that was best in the progress of medi
cal science at home and abroad, first
discovered the wonderful formula of
Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest
that would be awakened at once by the
announcement of any discovery by Prof.
Phelps. The formula from the first
was furnished to the best physicians,
and forthwith this remarkable Paine's
celery compound was personally used
and professionally prescribed by them.
The result of the closest investigation
might have been expected. 1t soon re-
quired considerable industry to pro-
duce the remedy, and rapidly but
steadily, without ceasing, the demand
for Paine's celery compound has in
creased, until today there is no other
remedy that in comparison begins to
hold half the public attention that it
holds.
In untold number of cases where
every other remedy has been tried and
failed, Paine's celery compound has at
tanned the wished-for results, making
the weak strong, purifying the blood,
rebuilding the wornout nervous tissue,
curing chronic sickness, proving a
never-failing and permanent relief for
rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney diseases
and disorders of the liver, all due to the
impairment of the PERSONS nervous

seem to be shorter lived than men. A
set of tables made up from statistics
extending over quarter of a century
gives the following results:
From birth to 10 years of age the
male death-rate Is in excess of the fe-
male. From 10 years to forty the fe-
male death-rate Is In excess of the
male, while from 40 to 80 years of age
the rate Is about the same in both
sexes.
Finally, from so to 60 there IA a
greater percentage of deaths among
males than among females, while after
the 10th year the reverse Is the case
though the proportion of females living
at that age is much less.
few women have lived to be over
a hundred years old, but where twenty
women die before so and one woman
reaches the age of 100 or more, twenty
men live to be 80

CREASE AND INCREASE.

An elephant wears more creases to his
trousers than any other animal. They
seem to be sort of a kilt pleat with bias
slope. He is not very fashionable, but is
up to date in taking care of himself. Some
sudden, violent pains crease, twist or con-
tract the muscles or tendons, and this is
the nature OF bad sprain. If neglected,
the creases increase, and so does the pain,
until sometimes it is very difficult to
straighten them out, but by the prompt
use of st, Jacobs Oil, the friction or rub
bling in its application and the curative
qualities of the oil will smooth out the
worst twist or crease and get the muscle in
natural shape, where it will remain, re-
stored, strengthened, cured. Promptness
in using it insures prompt cure, and when
the sprain is cured it is cured for good.
