TALKING DOWN THE TUBE
Unpleasant RESULTS From Keeping
Harsh Voiced Maid.

Unpleasant ResuI From Keeping
Harsh Voiced Maid.
One of the unpleasant features of life
in a fiat is that you unconsciously turn
friends or Indifferent acquaintance
into active enemies. Some one rings the
bell. Your faithful maid rushes from
the kitchen to the speaking tube.
"Who is it2"
But no words can describe the forbid
ding tone in which this natural request
is made. You say to yourself. 81 must

Ominous silence. You look out Of the
window. Mrs Montressor is going
away. The back of her head looks
angry.
And it was only last Thursday that
you invited her to talk with you at
your home about getting up a class to

slander soils its hands in throwing mud.

Loose clothes and downy cushions bring
only a negative sort of comfort to the wo-
man who is suffering with some disease or
arrangement of the organs distinctly fem
mime. Some clothes and some positions
make the pain and the discomfort seem
less. Perhaps the nerves are most af-
fected and this in turn disturbs the diges-
ton. Nothing will ever completely re-
lieve but a radical cure. The start of So
called female complaints" may be a very
slight thing indeed. 1t may be that in the
beginning some small hygienic measures
would stop the trouble. Certainly at this
time a little bit of the right medicine
would stop it. When the trouble becomes
worse, it is harder to cure, but it still can
be cured. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton will positively cure any trouble of
this character. 1t may be absolutely re-
lied upon. 1t affords lasting relief to a
woman whose natural modesty has kept
her from consulting a physician.

them all; raced every yacht on the Pa

fast that yachts were built on her lines,

THE PROFESSORS BABY.

Medical Students Ovid q SUR
prisinH Array of Presents For 1t.
when 1 was a medical student in
the University of Pennsylvania, said
the doctor, ''the boys celebrated an in
teresting event in the domestic life of
n of the professors in a unique way
The news that the favorite professor
was a happy father reached the students
on Thursday morning, and that after
O and evening there were c~onsulta-
tions held all over the university build
ings, and sundry dimes and quarters
were collected by two or three of the
students, who constituted a sort of
finance committee. Every Friday morn
ing the professor gave a lecture to the
students in the amphitheater. The sub
ject for the lecture that week was The
Relation of the Sympathetic Nervous
System to the Nerve Centers of the
Brain. and half an hour before the
time set for the lecture every man in
the class, which numbered about $50,
was in his place waiting for the fun to
begin and glancing now and then to-
ward the three long operating tables in
the center of the room.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock the door
opened and the favorite professor enter
ed the amphitheater. He carefully closed
the door behind him. then with a self
conscious clearing of his throat turned
toward the class. At the first glance his
jaw fell. while every one of the $50
iends in the seats above began to yell
at the top of his lungs Spread out upon
the three long operating tables were
about $50 baby's toys and furnishings
Of every kind and description. There
were rattles by the dozen. Noah arks,
dolls of all sizes. a toy cooking stove.
a baby carriage. an embroidered flannel
petticoat, a nursing bottle lying in a
graduated glass, a pair of little blue kid
shoes and other things too numerous to
mention. After the first shock of sur
prise and embarrassment, the professor
was game. He thanked us, in a speech
peppered with five s~yllabled words, for
our thoughtfulness in thus providing
for the future needs of his offspring.
but he observed, after a careful exami-
nation of the various instruments of in
fantile delight spread out before him.
that we had forgotten one thing. a bot
tie Of paregoric. Then he yawned in a
way suggestive of midnight vigils and
turned his attention to The Relation of
the Sympathetic Nervous System to the
Nerve Centers of the Brain.

beyond the first sentence or two. His
attention was drawn to the blackboard.

paxn,s Fearful writink.

James Payn's chirography is some
thing fearful to contemplate. 1t is sim
ply execrable. The Academy tells a nice
story about Payn's s'bewildering hand
writing" Miss Jane Barlow sent a
poem as a first contribution to The
Cornhill when Payn was its editor.
Think OF the lady receivinga brief line
which she interpreted as follows: ~
have no use for silly verses"
OF course Miss Barlow INDUCED in
copious tears. There never was such an
i'll hammered snub. Then she com
menced to study the scrawl. Now came
a CLEAN of light, for she dimly made

comes so o to this tragic end.
If men would only take the most COM
moi sense precautions against the en-
croachments of ill-health, there would be
fewer houses of mourning, and fewer
women left alone almost helpless before
the battle of life is half over. A mans
liver and stomach are twin machines that
work together, either to make or unmake.
If they work wrong, they deplete and
poison his blood. Impure and impover-
ished blood mean sickness and death. If
they work right, they purify and enrich
the blood. A mar whose blood is rich and
pure, and whose liver is active cannot well
be unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, in
digestion and costiveness, which men gem
orally disregard, are Natures warnings
that the twin mechanism, stomach and
liver, is working against, instead of FOX
him. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is the best medicine to use under these
circumstances. 1t creates appetite, cor
reefs all disorders of the digestion, invigor-
ates the liver and fills the arteries with
rich, red, healthy blood. As an ~invigorat-
ing, restorative tonic, 1t is far superior to
all the malt extracts. It is the great blood
maker and 1esh- builder. 1t does not build
slckly, habby fat as cod liver oil does, but
the firm, muscular tissues of health.

our Coal Production.

mot many people. says a coal miner
quoted by the Washington Star, ''are
probably aware that the coal mined in
the United States annually is worth
more than three times as much as the
gold mined here. The product of the
anthracite fields alone exceeds in value
the output of the gold mines of this
country. Canada and Alaska, which
last year amounted to over 500, 900, 900.
East of the Rocky mountains there are

the yearly output is nearly 300. OOO.-
