Queen wilhelmina's Palaces.

In the st. Nicholas there Is an article
on "a Girl Queen" by Jeanette May
Fisher. The author says Of Queen
Wilhelmina: Her official residence Is
an unpretentious white palace, built
around small court in narrow little
street of The Hague. But a more IA
vored home is the dream-like Queens
Palace in the Wood" which calls to
mind the tabled abode Of the Sleeping
Beauty" This dainty villa is pictur-
esquely located ON the edge Of mag
nficent park just out of the Dutch cap
ital. Lost to sight amid the rich foliage
of the trees, when finally it comes into
view, it dawns on the delighted vision
like veritable fairy palace.
Another of Wilhelmina's residences
is the hideous old royal palace at AM
sterdam, built on foundation of 49,
$50 piles, and frowning gloomily from
a central square of that busy city. Here
1t was that Hortense de Beauharnais,
while Queen of Holland, held her bril-
liant court with true French magniti-
cence. The immense ballroom in which
she was wont to tread a stately meas
ure with the gay courtiers is still shown
to visitors; and a splendid room it is!
We could but wonder how she kept
warm in those gorgeous but draughty
apartments! Our jovial guide, in a
very doubtful lingo of mixed Dutch,
French and German, proudly drew our
attention to an American stove, quite
lost to view in a corner of the great
hall. The palace is now kept open
mainly as a show place, for it is inhab-
tied during only three days of the year.
At that time the two queens repair 10
state to Amsterdam, where they review
the Dutch feet on the Zuyder Zee.

TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN
Restored to Health by Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Can Do MY Own Work"
Mrs. PATRICK DANEHY,
West Winsted, Conn, writes:

Mrs PATRICK DANEHY,
West Winsted, Conn, writes:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that write to you of the
benefit have derived from using your
wonderful Vegetable Compound. Twas
very i'll, suffered with female weak
ness and displacement of the womb.
"lcould notsleep at night, had to walk
the floor, suffered SO with pain in my
side and small of my back. Was trou-
bled with bloating, and at times would
faint away; had a terrible pain in my
heart, bad taste in my mouth all the
time and would vomit; but now, thanks
to Mrs. Pinkham and her Vegetable
Compound, feel well and sleep well,
can do my work without feeling tired;
do not bloat or have any trouble
whatever.
Il sincerely thank you for the good
advice you gave me and for what your
medicine has done for me-"

APPLES GOOD AS MEDICINE.
They Are Both Healthful aad Pleas
ant for Food.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum.
chlorophyll, malic acid. gallic acid. lime
and much water. Furthermore, the apple
contains a larger percentage of phos-
phorous than any other fruit or vegetable.
This phosphorus is admirably adapted
for renewing the essential nervous mat
ter, lethicin, of the grain and spinal cord.
1t is perhaps for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian ira
ditions represent the apple as the foods
of the gods, who, when they felt them
selves growing feeble and infirm, resorted
to this fruit for renewing their powers
of mind and body. Also the acids of the
apple are of great use for men of seden-
tary habits, whose livers are sluggish in
action. these acids serving to eliminate
retained would make the brain heavy and
dull, or bring about jaundice or skin erup-
tions and other allied troubles. Some
such experience must have led to our
custom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, and like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw oil
cooked, will neutralize any excess OF
chalky meat. 1t is also fact that such
fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe, and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach
rather than provoke it. Their vegetable
salts and juices are converted into aka
line carbonates, which tend to counterfeit
acidity. A ripe, raw apple is one of the
easiest vegetable substances for the stom
ach to deal with, the whole process of the
digestion being completed in So minutes

Five Dollars Postage for Letters.

w. F. Bailey contributes an article to
the Century on 1.-The Pony Express"
from st. Joseph, NO., to San Francisco.
Mr.. Bailey says: The letters, before
being placed in the pockets, were
wrapped in oiled silk to preserve them
from moisture. The maximum weight
of any one mail was twenty pounds;
but this was rarely reached. The
charges were originally So for each let
ter of one-half ounce or less; but after
ward this was reduced to $3.50 for each
letter not exceeding one-half ounce, this
being in addition to the regular United
States postage. Specially made light
weight paper was generally used to re-
duce the expense. Special editions Of
the Eastern newspapers were printed
on tissue paper to enable them to reach
subscribers on the Pacific coast. This,
however, was more as an advertise
ment, there being little demand for
them ct their necessarily large pzteA

RED INK, A RED MANS DRINK
Great Guam titles of This Fluid Con-
sumed I'm Indian Territory.

Vigilant as the deputy marshals are in
Indian territory, and drastic as the ap-
plication of the prohibition law by the
courts may be, several kinds of intoxica-
ton safely defy all statutory provisions.
Amazing quantities of Jamaica ginger
are consumed in the territory. The stores
handle ginger as a legitimate drug il
teaspoonful will cause choking and cough
ing for several minutes in throat unae-
customed to swallowing the powerful
stuff. But there are men in the terrific
nv who drink two or three bottles a day
with apparent satisfaction to their edu-
Gated stomachs. More Jamaica ginger is
sold in the Indian territory than in half
dozen states where whisky selling is
licensed.
Red ink is another favorite territory
tipple. This is not nickname for some
thing else. The ordinary red ink which
the bookstores of the states sell for writ
ing purposes is beverage in parts of
this country. The ink drinker OF cult
waited tastes will buy bottles by the half
dozen at a time and swallow the CON
tents with relish. Essences which sell
elsewhere for flavoring purposes are
drinks under this civilization. Anything
which has a basis of alcohol is in demand.
Intoxication is craved, and the stomach
of the Indian territory drinker does not
quarrel with the form in which it comes,
Wood alcohol, accounted poison in most
parts of the country, is consumed in
considerable quantities. The peddlers
buy it in Oklahoma, dilute it with water
and sell it by the pint on this side of the
line.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
DEAR MAORI have been reading
your views as published in The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER for sometime, and l
have found your phone conversations
with Mr.. Ramsey very interesting in
deed. And finding your head to be
very level generally, and that you are
q true Democrat and exceedingly anx
ious to consult with you in reference to
the future welfare of our good old
party. Every man of ordinary intelli
gence is bound to see that these are
perilous times, demanding that we
have the couhsel Of our wisest leaders
in the good old Democratic party. And
from the fact that we are now e. gagged
in a fierce war with Spain, I wish to
call your attention to the fact that an
election will be held this fall again for
members to the State legislature, for
Congressman, &c.
And you well know how the Repub
licans and Populists CO operated and
by that means took our State govern
ment out of our hands,. notwithstand-
ing we had controlled the State gov
eminent for many years. We had
nearly every Cffice in the State of any
Importance and the whole election ma
chinery In our hands, and so we could
count out whom we pleased and count
in a Democrat nearly every time. We
could generally tell just how we had
to count in order to give a majority
for our Democratic candidates. You
know the number of votes cast, or who
cast for, was of little Importance; all
depended on the counting, and we
knew exactly how to do that, Major.
We could count out the Republicans
every time and did do it, Major, asyou
