that q step on the floor unsettled me.
Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best
food and medicine all failed. Then ! con.
scented to an operation. That, too, failed
and they said another was necessary. After
the second was worse than ever and the
world was darker than before.
ut was then heard Of Dr.. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that
they had cured cases like mine and / tried
them.
"They cured me! They brought sun.
slime to my life and filled my cup with hap.

ing Is gone; the nervousness Is gone; the
trembling has ceased, and I have gained
twenty.six pounds. Health and strength is
mine and am thankful to DR.. Williams,
Pink Pills for Pale People for the blessing"
These pills are q boon to womankind.
Acting directly on the blood and nerves,
they restore the requisite vitality to all parts
OF the body; creating functional regularity
and perfect harmony throughout the ner.
vous system. The pallor Of the cheeks is
changed to tho delicate blush Of health; the
eyes brighten; the muscles grow elastic,
ambition is created and good health returns.

A Bobbinx wtrd.

4 curious instance of the effect of the
shape of the ground upon the wind
blowing over it was recently noted by
NJ. Batut as he was experimenting with
kites in France. When a north wind
fioated the kite the latter kept its bal
ance easily, but when the wind came
from the south or southeast the kite
pitched and bobbed in a very irregular
manner. The explanation was fur
.nished by. the character of the surface
over which the wind had passed. Com
ing from the north il had plain coun-
try to blow over, but coming from the
south and southeast it passed across
broken hills, which set it into irregular
puffs and dulations.-Youth's Com

SECURITIES BY OCEAN MAIL.

Large shipments OF Union Pacific
Stamps Used Sold to Collectors.
The mail steamships for Europe have
carried during few days recently sev.
eral million dollars worth of the new
securities of the Union Pacific Railroad
company sent abroad to take the place
of the old securities. The shipments
have been made by the Mercantile
Trust company, representing the
Union Pacific reorganization commit
tee, to the Bank of Holland and the
Bank of Montreal, London. The securi-
ties have gone by registered mail in
packages containing $50 bonds or GER
tificates of stock. Each package has
weighed about 25 pounds, the postage
upon it being about $50.
Nearly every large railroad reorgani-
zation transaction is accompanied by
similar shipments of securities both
from and to this country. Sometimes
the securities are expressed, but gen.
orally the registered mail is used and
the securities are insured against loss.
Postage stamps of large denomina-
tions are placed upon the packages.
In the case of shipments from this
country 81, So and IS stamps are used,
Or sometimes stamps of the old style
Columbian issue. which, besides 81, Sc
and IS stamps, also included 50 and 81
stamps. The Columbian stamps are
still obtainable at their face value.
When shipment is made from Eng
land 5 shillings, 10 shillings, 6 and 6 5
stamps are used These high-value
stamps are much priced by collectors,
and, though cancelled, have market
able value that sometimes equals SO per
cent. of their original postal value. Yhis
marketable value is well known to the
leading Wall street banking houses,
and in the case of several recent reor-
ganizations, careful arrangements were
made to have the cancelled stamps pre-
seryed and sold to stamp dealers, the
proceeds being turned in as part of the
reorganization committees receipts

nervousness, but my recent losses have
too strong hold on me. Several days

that he would ease my mind and cause
me to recover my buoyant spirits.
