Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk is admitted, and
from it, through a nipple, the
child struggles to get it out The
law of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple a thing as a
nursing bottle. The vacuum left
by the milk must be filled. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for a
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle. The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The "Best Nurser" is made on
a novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents.

CAN
YOU

Sell me a Diamond as cheaply
as 1 can get one from the
States? This is a question we
are often asked. We answer:
Yes, we not only can; but we
do.
We have had many oppor-
tunities for comparison, and
we have never found that our
prices suffered by such COM
parison.
The trouble is that too many
people take too much for grant
ed. They believe that such and
such is the case, and do not
take the trouble to look care
fully into the matter.

Because of an Extra Syllable.
Angelica invited her young man to
the evening meal, states New York
Chips. Everything passed off harmoni-
ously until Angelica's seven-year-old
brother broke the blissful silence by ex-
claiming:
"Oh, ma, yer oughter seen Mr.. Lighted
the other night, when he called to take
Angelica to the drill. He looked so nice,
sittin' long side of her with his arm"
"Fredi" screamed the maiden, whose
face began to assume the color of a
well-done crab, quickly placing her
hand over the boys mouth.
"Yer oughter seen him." continued
the persistent informant, after gain
ing his breath and the embarrassed
girls hand was removed; she had his
arm"
"Freddie!" shouted the mother, as,
in her frantic attempt to reach the
boys auricular appendage, she upset
the contents of the teapot in Mr.. Light
eds lap, making numerous Prussian
war maps over his new lavender trous-
ers.

frightened boy pleaded, between a cry

A report got into circulation to the
effect that Bob Burdette was dead.
The Burlington Hawkeye, with which
the humorist was formerly associated,
denied the rumor, and Bob confirms
the denial in the following letter to the
editor from Bryn Mawr, Pa:

the first of the .while you watt signs;
it was once familiar, it is now not SO
often seen. Then came the sign: "Your
shoes repaired while you wait" The
first of these signs, says the New York
Sun, appeared in the Bowery. Two ex-
pert workmen sat in the window of the
shoemaker's shop, working busily.
More men at work were seen inside.
There were comfortable chairs for watt
ing customers, and newspapers Tor

number of places in the city where
shoes are mended while you wait On
the signs of some of them schedule
of time required is given; so many min

In some tailor shops nowadays
clothes are pressed while you wait, and
there are dentists offices in which you
may have your artificial teeth repaired
while you wait.
In summer there are to be found now
adays establishments where they clean

vacant store on busy street.
In some of these places one may see
half dozen men sitting hatless, wait

different stages, three hats in hand at

show enterprise that is all the time on

COUNTESS Won lINpEN.

The Only Woman Lecturer at the
German Universities.
While the battle for the social and
political position of woman is still rag
ing and remains undecided theoretical.
ly, women have practically approached
their goal during the last decade in sew
eral points, particularly by invading
the field of science, which formerly was
looked upon as privilege of man only,
says an exchange. The number of fe-
male students at the universities of Ger
many as well as elsewhere is steadily
increasing. Women in the study of lit
erary and medical branches are numer-
Gus, but the natural sciences, mathemat-
les and astronomy were not looked
upon with favor by the weaker sex.
The first woman in Germany to devote
herself to natural sciences is Countess
Maria Won Linden. Born July IS, 1869,
she received an excellent education at
Stuttgart, and graduating from the
high school in 1891 she entered the Tu-
bingen university, where she devoted
herself to the study of natural sciences,
graduating with the highest honors in
the fall of 1895. She was then promoted
to the degree of doctor rerum naturali-
bus and was the pioneer of her sex in
this branch. She is now teaching 20
ology in the University of Halle with
much success, and is the only womanal-
lowed to lecture at any German uni
versity.

DRY GOODS.

New York. Oct. 8.-The dry goods mar
ket to-day shows gathering strength in
all cotton lines, due to the strengthened
market on cottOns. and the alleged injury
to the cotton crop. This is particularly
noticeable in print cloths and other staple
cottons in similar grades. The quota of
buyers in the market is larger than it was
earlier In the week, and there seems to be
a tendency to expand purchases on the
part of those visiting the local markets.
Reports of distribution a second hands in
