Water Can Hit Hard.

Landsmen who are slow to realize the tremendous force of the sea had an object lesson ashore in this city the other day when five large tanks, built to contain 10000 pounds of soap, but temporarily filled with water, and sit uated on the fourth floor of a large building on West Fifty-second street, this city, collapsed and completely wrecked the whole structure, killing three men and doing large amount of damage. The tanks were each fifteen feet high and about thirteen feet diam eter, and contained 161, 703 pounds of water, but the floors and supporting beams proved altogether inadequate to stand the strain. A wave of the dimen- sions of one of these tanks is not at all unusual at sea, and when such a wave breaks on a vessels deck the force of the blow can only be estimated by the amount of damage 1t does in spite of the elasticity of the water beneath the vessel to ease her in receiving the shock. When the city f1remen state that a stream from a hose under fifty pounds pressure will cut through any ordinary brick wall, the force of the sea in a gale may be, perhaps, better magined.-Marine Journal.

New Era for Siberia.

A new era has just begun in the his tory of Siberia. Since the beginning of this month the whole of that vast Asiatic empire of the Czar has become endowed with a modern and uniform system of public justice. Law courts have been opened in the various pro vincial capitals, and the principal trl bunal of appeal of Siberia has been es- abolished at Irkutsk Until uo| there has been no system of legal procedure whatever In Siberia, the entire country being subject exclusively to the arDi- trary administration of autocratic of1- cials. True, there is yet room for i'm provement, since for the present there Is to be no trial by jury, while the jus tices of the peace are to be appointed by the crown, instead of being elected by the people of the district. At the same time the new system is certain to constitute a salutary check upon the hitherto unbridled tyranny of Russian officialdom in Siberia.

Many fishing schooner thatssails out of Gloucester with her ensign futtering gaily from the main truck" comes in by Cape Ann, on her return from the Banks" with her colors at half-mast. A dory or two lost in the fog or run down in thick weather by an ocean greyhound that no more felt the colli- sion than if it crushed an eggshelI-at al. events, couple of men or more for Davy Jones' locker-such is only too often the tale brought back from the fishing grounds to Gloucester, our chief fishing port. Tears at parting, weeks of anxious suspense, and when the ship comes home tears again for lost hus- band, son, or brother-that story Is common enough on Massachusetts Bay. And even if neighbOrs say, Don't cry, dearie! Perhaps some ship has picked him up, and he'll come back to you" the hope is short-lived.

Talks About Common sense.

Common sense is worth more than doctors sense," said Mrs. Hetty Green. Il remember case had which illus trates this. It was my laundress. She had been working for me many years, and all at once she became sick. She tried the doctors, but could not get bet ter. She thought she had a worm in her stomach which crawled up at night and ate at her throat, almost choking her.
 At last said that would come and nurse her. 1 first took her out on the front porch when the sun was shining, so that could get good sight of her, and look her over. 1 made her open her open her mouth wide, and on look Ing In 1 saw that she had a very long palate, and that her tonsils were quite sore. You see, her palate had dropped down at night, and she thought 1t was worm. l told her tllat I thought I could kill the worm, and I sent for some alum and a preparation of iron. put the alum on spoon and touched IL to her palate. You know how alum acts-it puckers your palate up. 1 then used the iron preparation for her lon SIS. Well, that night the worm did not bother her. l continued the treatment for several days, and it made her well.
 Now" concluded Mrs Green, that cure was accomplished Dy tue use oE common sense. Common sense. l be- lieve, Is the most valuable possession any one can have. Such success as I have had in life has been d,le to 1t, an ] to the fact that was not afraid co use such common sense as God gave me. I believe in the ten commandments, and l obey them as far as I can. I try to treat every one fairly, and think it is my duty to defend myself when am imposed upon. AS to fashion, care nothing for 1t. live simply because I like to do so. and because believe 1t is better for my health. The chief end of my life is not to make show, but to do the work which seems before me just as we'll as can."

THREE HAPPY WOMEN

 Before using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, my health was being gradually undermined. I suf- fered untold agony from painful men, struation, backache, pain on top of my head, and ovarian trouble. The com pound entirely cured me.-MEs. GEORGE WAss, 923 Bank St., Cincin- nati, O.
 For years had suffered with pain full menstruation every month. One day little tools of Mrs. Pinlham's was thrown into my house, and I sat right down and read it. I then got some of Lydia F. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and Liver Pills. l can heartily say that to-day feel like a new woman; my monthly suffering is n thing Of the past. shall always praise the Vegetable Comp ou-1 -,r what it has done TOT Ine.-MRs.

 "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has cured me of painful men struation and backache. The agony I suffered during menstruation nearly drove me wild. Now this is all over, thanks to Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and advice. "-MRs. CARRIE V. WILLIAMS, South Mills, N. c.
 The great volume of testimony proves conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a safe, sure, and almost infallible rem edy in cases of irregularity, suppressoA, {, excessive, or painful monthly periods.

Great Gatherings.

England still reSounds with tine echoes of the great diamond jubilee celebrations, the crowning feature of which was the review of the fleet. So huge an aggregation of warships was never before witnessed in the history of the world. Our Canadian neighbors have had modest anniversary celebra. ton of their own, in honor of the com- pletion of the thirtieth year of the es-
 tablishment of the Dominion Govern
 ment San Francisco last month gave
 a most magnificent welcome to the
 many thousands of young people who had assembled for the annual conven- tion of the Christian Endeavor Socie- ties. At Milwaukee the annual meet ing of the Educational Association WAS conspicuous success. These two great gatherings at Milwaukee and San Fran cisco were illustrative of the forces that are giving direction and character to our American civilization. Our Brit
 ish friends have been in the seventh heaven of ecstasy over their alleged ra- discovery of the amazing benedcence of the institution Of royalty; but for our port we have merely to turn in tustifi- cation of our democratic institutions to our greatly superior educational life and deveiODmeut-Rc of Reviews.

A queer polyglot religious service was held at the Seaman's Bethel at Douglas on the Isle of Man. The gos- pel was read in Gaelic, a hymn sung in Manx, prayer offered in Welsh and the sermon delivered in English. On the previous Sunday the Lords Prayer was said in Cornish, a language the last speaker of which died in the early years of this century.
