Made the SpaMiards EnriOlIs.

The late Commander Max Woods,
U. S. NJ, whose death occurred few
weeks ago, served for time on the
ram katahdin. He was an enthusiast
concerning that novel craft, and often
said that she could sink the most
heavily armored ship ahoat-or there
was no reliance in the science of me-
chanics.
Woods navy comrades often tell the
story of his peculiar performance in
Havana harbor while the Virginius
affair was yet red hot. He was an
ensign and had to drill crew i'll a
boat carrying a landing gun. He
would make the crew row toward some
land battery with all their might and
back water just in time to escape
grounding. The Spanish officers were
furious and stood by their guns threat
eningly, but did not shoot. Woods
wanted them to, and every officer on
the ship knew what the daredevil was
after. New York World.

4 HYGIENE Floor.

1t is well know that floors have
been accused of grave sins. Recent
ly at the Academy of Medicine, Messrs.
Nallin and Laveran have been conduct
ing the prosecution. 1t is a fact that
the ordinary floor retains in its cracks
the most injurious dust and the most
dangerous germs. These penetrate
thence between floor and ceiling,
where they can pre- serve their viru-
lence for long time. For this reason
the cracks of old floors are often
stopped up with paraIfin or some
similar substance. Sometimes, for
greater economy, they are calked. In
new buildings they are often replaced
with cement BIT then people COM
plain, for cement is very disagreeable
to the feet. NJ Captain, in La Mede-
cine Moderne, tells us of II new kind
of floor that is really in the line
of progress, if it proves to possess
durability. We speak of wood-pulp
floors, which have no cracks. They
are also bad conductors of heat and
sound, aud, in spite of their durability,
are soft to the feet like, for instance,
linoleum. The wood pulp is mixed
with small amount of cement to in
crease the resistance of the floor, the
price of which is much lower than
that of the ordinary flooring. The
dried pulp is reduced to powder to
facilitate transportation, and this, al

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. Il. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota. writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKIIAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that IL may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and
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.
took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when ! read your advertisement in u
paper l sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, 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.
~ think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet SUI
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is u wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham 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. Pinkhams
