ltaE ILLS OF WOMEN
And How Mrs. Pinkham HELPS
Overcome Them.

Mrs. MARY BoLLINGER, 11O1 Mariana
St., Chicago, Ill, to Mrs. Pinkham:
81 have been troubled 1or the past
two years with falling of the womb,
leuc 4rhma, pains over my body, sick
hea Iaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. l tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
two bottles of your Vegetable Com
pound, the relief l obtained was truly
wonderful. have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that l am entirely cured"
Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. sO6 FindleySt.,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
"For a long time I suffered with
chronic Inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Was very nervous at-times, and
so weak l was hardly able to do any,
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with leucorrhoea. After doc
toring for many months with different
physicians, and getting no relief, 1 had
given up all hope Of being well
again when l read of the great good
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was doing. l decided immedi-
ately to give it a trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four
bottles of Vegetable Compound and
using three packages of sanative Wash
| can say l feel like a new oma l
deem it my duty to announce the fact
to my fellow sufferers that Lydia
T.. Pinkham.s Vegetable remedies have
entirely cured me of all my pains and
suffering. l have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which ! am CRATE
tul. May heaven bless her for the
good work she is doing for our SEX"

Oldest Bank Note Extant.

Among the many products of civil ization familiar to the Chinese many years before they came into use in Europe may be reckoned bank notes. There is at this moment in the posses sion of The Old Lady in Threadnee- de Street" a specimen supposed to be one of the oldest extant, dating from the fourteenth century of our era. It is now proved. however, that paper money was issued in China as early as 807 A. D. These securities closely re- sembIed the famous French assignats in being based upon the estates of the kingdom. The Bank of StocAAolm claims to have been the first western institution to adopt a paper currency, but the Bank of England must have followed very close with it's f20 notes, which were issued in 1896.

AnnIring the Teachings.

4 teacher in a Bangor school had Just finished explaining the use of the ditto marks, when she noticed one of her young searchers for knowledge searching for it in half-dime novel. So she made him stay after school and told him to write the sentence Always pay attention" 100 times. In a very short time he gave glad shout Eve did it!' What kind of language is that?9 she remarked se- verely; and you surely haven't had time to do it. " Well, I done it, then anyhow, here it is. He held up his paper. The sentence was written once at the top. and the remaining surface was covered with dots But you haven't done it" she exclaimed. He gazed at her scornfully Course I haye-them's ditto marks-mado 'em Rinety-nine times - they're gooG things. '--Bangor Commercial.

Magnetic Disturbances in Russia.

The Russian province of Kursk proves to be one of the most remarka~ ble areas of magnetic disturbances yet known. Mr. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and obser- vation are so great that il is not pos sible to draw isomagnetic lines. and the magnetic force is as great as it would be in the immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from AS to 79 degrees. At two points. about 450 yards apart, the deelinations are minus Il degrees and plus 45 degrees, and the variation at two places about mile and quar- ter apart is from minus 34 degrees to plus 96 degrees. Nothing near the sur face to cause these anomalies Is known to exist.

French Literary Pirates.

If the contest now raging between Chicago and Paris over the original 1n- spiratlon of 4Cyrano de Bergeraea is doing nothing else it is bringing to light the fact that the theft of ideas has not always been one way hereto fore It appears from the testimony of a welI=knoWn Parisian critic that several works of Fenlmore Cooper and Washington Irving have at various times been dramatized in France with out word of acknowledgement The Leather Stocking Tales were produced in Paris as an original play. called 'Bas de Cuir, by Montepin X Dornay, without any mention of Cooper. Plan quette's comic opera Rip was taken bodily from IFying's Rip Van Winkle;a Uncle Toms Cabin Is published by Calmann Levy as an original play by DEnnery; Sardou,s Scrap of Paper is nothing else than Edgar Allen Poe's 'Purioined Letter in French attire. The list is almost endless"
