New England Epitaphs.

'Six hundred skeins from sun to sun,
And wove one day. her daughter brags,
Two hundred pounds of carpet rags"
and in another, from Pembroke,
n. H.:
''Here lies man never beat by plan,
Straight was his aim, and sure of his
game,
volver;"
while Amanda loves has home
ly domesticity about it that recalls
Lowell's favorite epitaph, "She was
so pleasent!" For Amanda, we
learn,
slowed me, and my grandchildren rever-
enced her,
She bathed my feet, and kept my sock
we'll darned."
In Wayland, we have, apparently,
the original mugwump:
"Here lies the body of DR.. Hayward.
A man who never voted.
Of such is the kingdom of heavens"
and at Wendell another original is
buried:
"Here lies the body of Samuel Proctor
Who lived and died without a doctor"
At Mt. Auburn an especially pun
gent inscription is recorded:
''Here lies man beneath this sod,
Who sandered all except his God,
And Him he would have slandered too,
But that his God he never knew"
And another in Connecticut, in
which the relatives evidently got
even with the husband of the de-
ceased:
Here lies the mother of children five,
OF whom three are dead and two are alive,
The three that are dead preferrng rather
To die with their mother than live with
their father"

The effect of stimulants on the
endurance of fighting men has been
tested in various ways of late. The
Sirdar in his Soudanese campaign,
sent out three regiments, one to
whom whiskey had been given, one
to whom beer had been allowed,
and one to whom nothing but tea
had been permitted. The men to
whom the whiskey and the beer had
been given evinced renewed vitality
at certain stages of their journey,
but all showed reaction and GER
tain collapse before the march was
finished. The men who had taken
nothing but tea showed the most
endurance, and the regiment was
the only one to reach its destination
in good condition. No stirnulants
were therefore allowed afterward in
the campaign. During Our late
war with Spain, says Harbers
Basar, two of our men-of-war were
sent out without a drop of any
kind of stimulant on board, and as
all of us now know, the fighting
qualities of naval men have proved
themselves beyond the suspicion of
reproach. A substitute for alcoho-
lie stilnulants was given in the oat-
meal water. tank of it being al
ways on tap, as it were. Both
nourishment and stimulus are given
by this harmless and innocent be-
verage, which has been used for
some time by the denizens of large
cities.

Cleveland, o., May 26.-John D.
Rockefeller, through his attorneys,
Messrs Kline and Moore, to-day made
a motion before Judge Stone, of the
Common Pleas Court, to dismiss the
$1,000,000 suit Of James Corrigan
against him. 1t was claimed that Cor
rigan had agreed to abide by the de-
cision of arbitrator, who had decided
in favor of Rockefeller. Corrigans at
torneys repudiated the agreement.
Judge Stone took the case under adj
visement Corrigan claims that he
transferred nearly $1,000,000 worth of
Standard Oil stock to Rockefeller at a
low price, whereas the stock was
worth more than Rockefeller said it
was.

details of the instructions. They have
made no report to Secretary Hay OF
the progress of events at the confer
ence, not even mentioning the difficult
ties they are reported to have exper-
fenced in securing proper consideration
for the one point deemed so essential
by the United States, namely, the pro-
lection from seizure of individual prop
erty at sea.

CANADA IS PIGGIsH.
Wants all Her Demands Granted-Uncle
Sam May Resort to Retaliation.

Wants all Her Demands Granted-Uncle
Sam May Resort to Retaliation.
Washington, May 26.-There is little
doubt that our government is to take
retaliatory proceedings against Can
ada because of the discouragiIg results
of the negotiations in London looking
to the clearing of the field for the re-
assembling of the joint Canadian COM
mission. 1t is gathered that the Brit
ish foreign office, which had seemed de-
sirous to meet Mr.. Choates advances in
the spirit of compromise that prom
ised well, has been again influenced by
Canada's refusal to agree to anything
less than concession of all of their
demands, which has stopped all
progress.
The Department of State has refer
red to the Treasury Department the
arrangement of a plan to protect the
interests of the United States, and
decision from Secretary Gage is ex-
pected very soon.
The treasury department has now
two courses open, both being retalia-
tory. The first is the preparation of
an amendment to the tariff act, largely
increasing the duties on lumber and
forest products imported into the Uni
ted States from Canada.
There is possibly another course. A
section of the Dingley act authorizes
the United States government in cases
where governments impose an export
duty to add the ad valorem of such
export duty to the importation on such
goods coming into the United States.
The Canadian government is not i'm
posing in so many words an export
duty on logs, but it has prohibited
their expectation. The question before
Secretary Gage is whether this prohi-
bition may not be regarded as in prin-
ciple the same thing as an excessive
and therefore prohibitive export tax.
If this view is sound the treasury
has already in hand the measures of
retaliation it seeks in the shape of an
order prohibiting the importation of
Canadian logs into the United States
which would bear very heavily upon
other provinces in Canada outside of
Ontario.
London, May 26.-The foreign Office
officials confirm the statements made
by the New York correspondent of the
London Times to the effect that the ne
gotiations with the Canadian govern
ment on the subject of Alaska have
reached an almost hopeless stage owing
to the insistence OF the Canadians that
they receive slice of Alaska which
apparently precludes any agreement
being reached on the subject between
the American and Canadian high com
missioners.

PAYnENTS BEaIN TO-DAY.


The Lists Of Cuban Troops Not Believed -
be e Al Reliable.
Havana, March rs. distribution
Of the $4,000. 600 which the United
States government has offered at
gratuity to the Cuban troops on dis
banding and surrendering their arms,
will begin at ten o'clock tomorrow
morning at the foot of the Prado.
Under the swollen muster rolls prepar-
ed by the late Cuban military assem-
bly,. the Americans who have closely
followed the subject are curious to see
what proportion of the numbers listed
will actually appear. There are only
400 on the list for Havana, and Lieut..
Col. George NJ. Randall, of the Eighth
United States infantry, the commits
sioner experimenting the distribution
here, does not expect any trouble.
That the rolls are regarded as unre-
liable is plain from the official report
of George H. Chadwick, the clerk who
has charge of the preparation of rolls
in behalf of the paymaster He says
that lists aggregating 1924 names
were received from several department
commanders representing men engaged
in civil employment in their respective
departments.
The organizations in the Cuban army
to which these men belong were not
definitely stated in more than two hun
dred cases, leaving 1,124 names to be
searched for on rolls containing 10000
names. "Of these says Mr.. Chad
wick, 'twenty-seven were found. 1t
appears strange that such indefinite
dates should have been given in 50
many cases unless purposely done"
Major General Ludlow, military gov
ernor of the department of Havana, in
forwarding the list for his department
says: Some of the employees refused
to give the desired information, while
others, ex-soldiers of the Cuban army,
denied having been members of the

OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through alluriug and Gun
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them 'towrite
to wonsan } and secure scontan's SYM
pathy.' 1t is well to remember that the
best sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get we'll,
and however precious sympathy may be- it
never yet cured seriously afflicted woman
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressiuaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more so, than svin-
pathy from stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman
It is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments. and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to 4 woman %
and get the benefit of wonan's advice.
The sort of understanding of her ailments
wanted by sick woman is a trained medi-
cal understanding. If woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woinan's ailments not as a sooman but as a
physfcfan. If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there Is no one, man or
woman, connected with any put up"
medicine for women, excepting only Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who, like
Dr. Pierce, is regular graduated and quail
tied physician, and who has like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases of women.
For more than thirty years Dr. R. v.

peen chief consulting physician of the
