Mrs. PATRICK DANEuY,

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHI M:--It is with
pleasure that l write to you of the

wonderful Vegetable Compound. Twas
very i'll, suffered with female weak
ness and displacement of the womb.
Icouldnot sleep 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

whatever.

BondSmen fer Omcia!s.

The postoffice department now re-
quires its bonded officers to furnish
bonds from security or insurance com
panieS instead of individuals. The
bond of any such company will be ac-
cepted after it has submitted its books
and Investments to an examination By
agents of the attorney generals office
and received his sanction, and there
are now five ON the list. A sixth com
pany will probably be added in n few
days. Such bonds are preferred to in
dividual securities because they are
always paid without question. Any
security company refusing to make
good loss or defalcation on the part
of an official whose honesty it has in
sured is crossed Off the list, its other
bonds are cancelled and it can do no
more business with the government;
and a boycott by the government is
equivalent to ruin. On the other hand.
individual bondsmen never pay with
out being compelled to by the courts,
and even then it is always difficult and
often impossible to collect the judg-
mentS.

Edison's Plan for Rcmov,nr Snow.

Edison's latest suggestion is that
snow can be removed from city streets
not by melting machines, but by port
able steam power compressors, which
will scoop up the snow in steel scoop
buckets and squeeze it into cakes 12x
12x12 inches in volume, which will be
practically solid ice. Carts and men
following the compressor can take up
the cakes with tongs as they drop to
the street, says Edison, and a market
can be found for enough snow cubes to
pay the interest on the cost of the
machinery.

How London'- Poor Live.

The committee appointed by the
County Council of London to investi-
gate the housing of the poor has made
some astonishing discoveries which
account in large measure for the in
crease of crime, vice and poverty in
that great city. In Lambeth parish,
just across the Thames from West
minister abbey and the houses of Par
lament, under the very shadow of the
palace of the archbishop of Canter
bury, from whose towers every roof
in the parish can be seen, is found n
condition of life more deplorable than
exists anywhere else in the world.
The census of the tenement houses
shows that in Lambeth parish 11,T59
persons live three to room. The fig
ures show 2,409 persons live ON an
average over three and under four to
a room, 5000 persons live four to a
room, 522 persons live over four and
under five to a room, 2,0T5 persons
live five to room, 143 persons live
over five and under six to room, SIG
persons live six to room, 24S persons
live from seven to eleven to a room.

OUGHT TO VISIT THE WEST.
Senator Hoar and Others Know Little of
Its People or Conditions.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has
one great weakness which is common
to men of his location and habits of
life. His horizon is bounded by the
Allegheny mountains. He has never
been west of Chicago, and has seldom
strayed as far away from home as
Buffalo or Pittsburg. He knows no
more of western life and methods and
progress than If he lived in the center
of England, and whenever western
people differ from him in sentiment he
charitably believes it is because they
have not had his advantages of asso-
citation with the faculty of Harvard
college ana other wise and learned
men in Boston. If all the people of the
earth could enjoy moral and intellec-
tual contact with the better senti-
ment of Massachusetts" that has been
his birthright, Mr.. Hoar would be very
thankful, but having been deprived of
that blessed privilege they cannot diff
Ter from him in opinion without being
entirely wrong. Mr. Hoar inherited
this feeling from Charles Sumner.
1t may surprise the readers of the
Record to learn that so good a man as
the secretary of the navy and so good
man as the secretary of the interior
have never been in the West Mr.. Bliss

ARMY AND NAVY.

I. Recognizing the good results that
accrue from soldiers singing when on
the march the minister for war of
England has just ordered $4,000 books
of patriotic and military songs as an
experiment These will be distri-
buted to the men in infantry regi-
ments and classes for singing will be
instituted in the barracks. A similar
experiment, made in France by Gen.
Poillowe of st. Mars, has been at
tended with marked success, the num-
Der of stragglers on the march being
reduced by 20 per cent owing to the
singing.
Much favorable comment is being
made upon the recommendation of
Secretary Long that the vessels to be
added to our naval force in the future
are to be sheathed and coppered. In
this way the ships we send abroad
can be maintained for an indefinite
period at sea without the necessity of
searching a dockyard at frequent ip-
tervals. "A modern cruiser provided
with a sheathed bottom and coppered
surface can be kept at sea for n whole
cruise without danger to her safety or
efficiency.
The additions to the navy proposed
by the naval board on construction
contemplate an expenditure of $780,,
100, 900, distributed as follows, says the
Scientific American: Three 3,500-ton
battleships. to cost s3,600.000 each;
three 12000-ton armored cruisers, to
cost s4,OO00O0 each; three 6,000-ton
protected cruisers, to cost S2,150,000
each, and six 250O-ton protected
cruisers, to cost s1.141 900 apiece Each
of these vessels is to carry the heav-
lest armor and most powerful ord
nance for vessels of their class, to
have the highest practicable speed
and great radius OF action" If the
nation has any conception of the vast
responsibilities which the acquisition
of the Philippines has placed upon it
there will be no difficulty in securing
the necessary appropriation for max
ing this addition to our navy. The
naval board shows wisdom in recon-
mending that every one of these fif-
teen ships we wood sheathed and cop
pered.
