VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
Some Convincing Testimony Which Comes to Us All the Way
 from Australia.

Testimony on the value of wide tires comes from all sections of the globe. A correspondent of z paper in Sydney, Australia, describes a road in which heavily-laden wagons with narrow tires sank 'haf-spolSe deep, and in places to their wheel hubs,s and yet load of five tons, carried on six-inch tires, sank but two to four inches in the worst places. In dry weather he says the roads are cut up by narrow tires until the dust is foot deep, and then the rain will not make the dust set hard again.
 A good material for roads is gravel, but no gravel roads will carry loads of ten or twelve tons on three-inch and four-inch tires. An experienced tea1n~ ster will not speak of the tonnage his team can draw He will say: I think the road will carry five tons,' or more, as the ease might be. have heard road superintendent say that enor- nous sums of money could be saved an- nually if broad tires were used. The only objection I have heard raised against wide tires is that they do not it into the ruts cut by the narrow ones, which makes the draught heavier upon the team. That is partly true; but the ruts would not be cut if all the wagons had wide tires. Portable engines varying from six to eight horsepower, and weighing five tons and over, are drawn by lighter teams than wagons which, with their loads, would not weigh more. This is owing to the broad tires always used on en- zines. The ash pans on engines are sell dom more than about ten inches from the ground; but owing to the wide tires these engines seldom bog deep enough to allow the pans to touch the ground"

The doors in the rear open into a roomy closet, where bulky articles can be stored, while in the drawers on either side can be carried such articles as butter, eggs, etc. The railed space on top will accommodate bulky Yegetables-sueh as cabbage, etc, and bags of other articles The advantage of such market box is that no separate wagon is required. And when not engaged in market uses the box can be taken out and the wagon used for other purposes.-N. Y. Trib- nne.

l visit the seaghore to catch and eat
zszzssu

visit the seashore to catch and eat shellfish. In the region which is now Tennessee, and parts of the adjoining states, the Indians were fond of the mussels which abound in certain To- calities there, and they made yearly trips to feed on them. On the Cali fornia desert the Mohayes used hooks made by moistening and bending cac- tus thorns for catching such fish as they could find in the few streams of their arid country
 Among the primitive Aztecs fish was an esteemed food and it was part of their education Of youth to learn how to take them. Old pictures by Aztec artists show how fish were caught with scoopnet from a canoe. The Aztees ished with nets and also speared fish with trident. There were fish ponds in Mexico, and fish were sold in the markets of Tenochtitlan, the ancient city. It is related that Montezuma's s table was supplied with fish that were brought by runners from the coast, 264 miles, ill 24 hours.

The wide-tire measure passed by the New Jersey legislature was due, says Assemblyman Crispin, its originator, to its inestimable value to the tax payers who were constantly being called upon for increased appropria- tions for road improvements, by both the farmers and bieyclists, which call would be unnecessary if the broad tire was adopted as it would be of two fold service; first, in making the roads hard and smooth; second, in doing away with the complaint from bi- cyclists that the heayily-loaded farm wagons cut the roads to pieces-be- sides lessening the annual appropri- ation for the roads about 50 per cent"

A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS. They save a daughter
 from blindness.

When father writes that yours lis the best medicine in the world" you can allow something for seeming extrava- gance in the statement if you know that the medicine so praised, cured a loved daughter of disease and restored to her the eyesight nearly lost. The best med icine in the world for you is the medicine that cures you. There can't be anything better. No medicine can do more than cure. That is why John s. Goode, of orriek, Mo, writes in these strong terms; 1;
 "Dr. Ayers Sarsaparii1a Is the best med icine in the world. My daughter had relapse after the measles, due to taking cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged to remain in a dark room all the time. The doctors could give her no relief one of them directed me to give her Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her com pletely."
 The thousands of testimonials to the value of pr. Ayers Sarsaparil1a repeat over and over again, in one form or another the expression: "The doctors gave her no re1ief one of them directed me to give her Dr. Ayers Sarsapari1la. Two bottles completely cured her''
 It is a common experience to try pr. Ayers Sarsaparilla as a last resort. It ia

speared fish and also caught them with line and hook. Their hooks of hone or deers s horn were massive, strong af- fairs, sometimes barbed and all bay- fig a knob at the end of the shank to which the line could be securely at taehed. In general the Indian pre- ferred to spear his fish, and sometimes he shot them with arrows. Fish also were trapped in various ways, especial y ln the season of their running in the rivers.
 At what is now Etowah, Ga, the old. Spanish explorer, Hernando de Soto. and his companions, were entertained by a cacique who had great fish pre-. served. canal leading from the river Grande to a lake and encireling his town. Up from the river into the canal the fish came plentifully on their way to the lake, and the eacique and his chief men selected and captured them at their pleasure. At Fish creek, near Saratoga, N. Y, the Indians once had fish pen made by fencing a marsh on one side which the creek oyerfowed at high water On the subsistence of the waters the fish were left aground or in water so shallow that they could easily be captured. After the coming of the white settlers the shad and her. ring still ran up the creek so plentiful that 1t was said that the women could dip them up in their aprons.
 Along the St. Lawrence river the Montaignais Indians were famous catehers of eels. According to the ac. count of the early missionaries their traps were great wicker baskets, each of which would hold 800 or 600 eels. These were sunk in the ground on floats by the river and channel, walled with rock. led from the stream to them. In the season when eels were ascending the river the Indians of morning would often find the trap filled with them. Another way they had of taking eels was to spear them at night from canoe with light in the bow Two Indians, one padding, the other handling the spear, would get 300 eels in this way in one night. The ee1s, split and dressed, were hung up in house and smoked for keeping, and they formed an important article of food with the Montaignais, at sea- son when other provisions were scarce.
 All along the Atlantic coast of North America, us far south as Mexico, the Indians of the interior were aecus- toned at certain seasons of the year to

 There is reason for thinking that salmon, which in early days came into the French tide rivers, were the favor ite fish of the prehistoric cave men, and that he timed his own migra tiors 10 Tt with their running up and down the streams. There is no evidence that he had nets or boats, and he must have speared and hooked his fish from the shore and rocks. or waded about Tor them. Shell fish were q favorite food with prehistoric man. With his lamlly and tribesmen he camped for long periods on the edge of tidewater n places where the vast shell heaps known to ethmologists as kitchen mid- oens are found to-day. In these heaps among the shells are found bones of quadrupeds, large and small, includ- i'g those of the dog, and various imple- ments and utensils, the most common implements found being the flakes or nat, shafpened stones used by early man for all cutting purposes.
 ot a more advanced type than the cave men were the ancient lake dwell CTS, who built their settlements on Plies over the water out from the sfores of the Swiss lakes. They were poatmen, who took fish with nets and Anes, speared them and shot them Mlth arrows. Their hooks, made from oone and from boars' tusks, were well curved and usually without barb, the alglef relying upon the saddenness With which he pulled the fish from the water to land it before itcould wriggle rec from the hook.

Munld Ruin Ill. nnrinen..

Railroad stories are all more or less pithy, especially when told by railroad men. A certain system running in the southwest Is known for its slow trains from one end of the line to the other. The trains are slow enough at best, but when washouts and over flows occur, time doubles up on engineer. train crew and passengers. Not long ago a food of complaints was poured in upon the general manager of the line from ail kinds of people who travel over this system. One ot them came from a prominent undertaken, somewhere Tn an adjacent state, and this is what he wrote:
 If you do not run faster trains ove~ your line you will ruin my business. My custom CTS will not ship their corpses over your system for fear that they will not reach their destination before the resurrection day. "-St. Louis Republic.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. ". E. PAXTON, Youngtown, North Dakota, writes about her strug- gle to regain health after the birth of her little girl:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with pleasure that I add npy testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val uable medicine.
 "After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had leucorrhoea badly, and a terrible bearing-down pain which gradually grew worse, until could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men situations were very profuse, appear ing every two weeks.
 q took medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for bottle of Lydia F. PinlSham's Vegetable Com ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and well as any one.
 q think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady meet suf- fering from this trouble.n
 Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women
 The advice of Mrs. Pinlzham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be- fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.

a common experience to have pr. Ayersa Sarsaparifa prescribed by physician. It IS common experience to see a i" com. plete cure" " follow the use of few bottles of this great blood purifying medicine.
 Because, it is specific for all forms of blood disease. If disease has its origin in bad or impure blood, Dr. Ayers Sars. aparila, acting directly on the blood, re- moving it's impurities and giving to it yitalizing energy will promptly eradicate the disease.
 The great feature of Dr. Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is the radical cures that result from its use. Many medicines only suppress disease = they push the pimp1es down under the skin, they paint the complexion with subtle arsenica1 com pounds but the disease rages in the veins like pentup fire, and some day breaks out in vol. canic eruption that eats up the body Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root 1t makes the fountain clean and the waters are clean. It makes the root good and the fruit is good. It gives Nature the elements she needs to build up the broken down constitution-not to brace it tp with stimniants or patch t ip on the surface Send for pr.
