How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic Of la grippe a few years
ago when so many case resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that di-
sease when Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy was used. It counteracts any ten
dency of a cold or la grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is
the best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. p1rxHAn.l


A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age Of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force Of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
n weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
"I am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million woo
men have been benefited by it.

Home Modelled from Wigwnm.
Prof. Marsh lived in a beautiful, vineclad
home on Prospect hill, about mile from
Yale college. The building stood in the
midst Of extensive grounds, set out to rare
shrubs and plants of a hundred varieties.
when l was among the Sioux" he told
me. speaking of tlis home, II was impressed
with the excellence and simplicity of the
wigwam as a dwelling, and 50 | built
wigwam of brick-you see the main room
of my house is octagonal-and then added
a few other rooms around it and above 1t.

he said.
But he surrounded himself with many

would charm the fancy of any woman.
Everything in the house was in some way
an expression OF its owners individuality
and proclaimed the universally of his in
terest. For years he was fond Of the
Japanese and their art and his house over
flowed with rare Japanese kakemoncs, some
Of them eXquistely beautiful, japanese pot
terry and carvings and other evidences that
go to prove Prof Marsh's theory of the fu-
ture greatness of the Japanese race.
If you wished to sit down in Prof Marsh's
wigwam you were compelled to take away
a pile of books In the dining room a big
table was surrounded by chairs, as If set
fer gcodly family, but only one Of them,
where the professor sat, was empty. All
the others were heaped high with books
and papers, and the table itself groaned
with them, where they had been pushed
aside by busy hand. These tones, many
Of them in unfamiliar tongues, spoke elo-
quently of a studious life they were Prof.
Marshs wife and family,
In such honors as fall to men who have
won distinction in science Prof. Marsh had
an unusual share. For seventeen years he
was president of the National Academy OF
Sciences, perhaps the foremost scientific
society in America, and president Of tho
American Association for the Advancement
OF Science In 1877 he received the first of
the Bigsby medals from the Geological So
ciety of London, and last year the Institute
of France, by presenting him with the Gu
vier prize, conferred upon him the greatest
honor that can fall to scientist. The
Cuyier prize Is awarded every three years
"for the most remarkable work either on
the animal kingdom or on geology" Only
two other Americans have received this dis
tinction-Agassiz and Leidy, the paleontolo-
gist

Marsh never followed anything to turn him
aside. During the expedition of 1874 to the
Bad Lands near the Black Hills he and his
cavalry escofa were twice driven back by
the hostile Sioux Indians, who supposed
him to be searching for gold rather than
bones After all other means of persua-
sion had failed Prof. Marsh called a council
of the chiefs and after smoking with them
and feasting them he explained the nature
of his expedition. 1t was discussed az
length and Red Cloud and some of his as
sociates finally offered their protection on
condition that Prof Marsh would carry
their complaints and samples of their ra-
tions to the Great Father in Washington
On his return to the east Prof Marsh
visited President Grant and exposed the
frauds which he had seen practiced on the
Indians. The result was bitter fight with

made by Prof Marsh during these expedi-
items was the series OF fossil horses.
'When student in Germany" he once
told me II heard a world renowned pro-
fessor OF zoology grayely inform his pupils
that the horse was a gift from the old
world TO the new and was entirely un-
known to America until introduced by the
Spaniards After the lecture | asked him
whether an earlier remains of horses had
been found on this continent and was told
in reply that the reports TO the effect were
too unsatisfactory to be presented as facts
in science. This remark led me on my
return to examine the subject myself and
l have since unearJhed no fewer than thirty
distinct species Of the horse tribe; and II
is now, l think. generally admitted that
America is, after all, the original home OF
the horse"

and described. Among them were the
ancestral forms Of the modern horse, OF the
tapir and the pig, and Of the first monkeys
and bats discovered in America, showing
that this country was once the home of
numerous simian tribes. He also found
many rodents and small marsupials; many
gigantic dinosaurs, terrible lizards; the
dinocerata, which were huge, hoofed AMI
mails as large as elephants and formidably
armed with horns; extinct sea serpents; the
enormous brontctheridae, and the stega-
saurus. The discovery CT the birds with
teeth, already alluded to, and the pterodac-
tyles, or flying dragons, the first to be found
in America, also resulted from these ex-
ploratons.
