A WONDERFUL FENCE.
The "Anchor" Clamps Are Revolutionizins
Wire Fences Now.a.D Days.

-
Wire Fences Nowadays.
The surprising stride in popularity
made by the t'Anchor" wire fence
proves that this fence has come to
stay. 1t is used all over the United
States, and it bears the test of time,
which in reality is the only convinc-
ing test. In the Pacific Northwest
the Portland "Ancher" Fence Co, of
742 Nicolai street, Portland, Ore, is
pushing this fence and its agents are
welcomed everywhere, as they bring
an article which certainly is sorely
needed. 1t is probably a fact that
the "Anchor" fence satisfactorily
solves the great fence question.
The universal desirabiiity of the
"Anchor" fence is understood when
you come to know that it serves in
the best possible manner nearly every
use to which any fence can be put
The principle of clamping upright
stays, rivet-tight, to the running rod
makes every fence secure and durable
Never before have such economical
and lasting fences been made
These "Anchor" fences are suitable
for all kinds of ordinary fence pur-
poses and also afford large
scope in the designing of ornamental
fences, tree guards, fancy gates. etc.
Besides this, if a man wants to repair
his old wire fence all he has to do is
to buy some of the little "Anchor"
clamps and a pair of pinchers and he
is prepared to make his old fence last
| a long time.
It is worth while to send for pict-
ures and catalogues to the Portland

An official of the United States Pat
ent Office who is preparing a history
of that institution has been impressed
with the idea that there is little new
under the SUM- He has pored over vol
umes Of ancient lore and satisfied him
self that the ingenuity of moderns was
discounted by the wise men of an
tquity. In art, in the sciences, In me-
chanics, our boasted progress seems to
him to have been vastly overrated.
There is not, he says, single surgical
bandage Of which examples are not
seen In the swathings of Egyptian
mummies. 'The Patent Office issues
patent for "a nickel-in-the-slot ma
chine described by Herodotus." Pliny
tells us of a copy Of the Had engraved
on SO small piece of parchment that
the entire work was contained in nut
shell. Microscopes of rock crystal were
found In the palace Of Nimrod. Nero
had lenses made out of an emerald,
with which from distance he watched
gladiatorial contests. The Romans, as
stated by Prof. Lanciani, had storage
warehouses and safety deposit vaults.
The ancients, according to this Pat
ent office skeptic, were as full of wis
dom as the moderns who ignorantly
undertook to patronize them. Their
mechanical contrivances and engineer
ing works were remarkable. Archi-
medes discovered many scientific prin-
ciples which are in use nowadays. Pub
lie works were of the highest order.
The ancient Greek water supply sys-
tenn showed every modern improve
ment-such as we have acquired only
within the past ten years. The public
roads of Peru were built of masonry,
were twenty-five feet wide, macadam-
lied with pulverized stone mixed with
lime and bituminous cement and wall
ed in by walls more than six feet thick.
A sort of telegraph system existed and
news was transmitted hundreds of
miles in day. When Peru was "dis-
covered" several centuries ago its
woolen and cotton goods exceeded in
fineness any similar goods produced in
Europe. Plato knew that the earth was
round; other philosophers, now forgot.
ten, were familiar with the law of
gravitation. Astronomers before the
Christian era understood the rotation
of planets and knew great deal about
comets. There Is reason to believe that
the ancients used the telephone in some
form, while there is a tradition in
China that the phonograph was en-
ployed by rich orientals.
Still, the wisdom of the ancients has
not discouraged modern inventors.
Men of science and mechanical ingenu-
ity will continue to add to the knowl-
edge, the comfort and wealth of the
world. With all the progress that has
been made many contrivances remain
to be devised before human ingenuity
realizes that its limit has been reached.
Immense fortunes will be made by the
inventive geniuses of the future who
work out problems which must be
solved before man attains complete
happiness on this mundane sphere.
What appears impossible in this gen.
Grafton may be in general use in the
next generation. Matters Of transpor-
tation, of pewer, of fuel, of lighting and
heating engage at this time the atten-
don of thoughtful and resourceful men.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Is She Losing the Beauty That
Was Once a National Boast?

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic
step and good appetite are the birth
right of every American girl. These
are the conditions that denote perfect
health. But, unfortunately, every
day are seen girls with pale, sallow
compilations, languid, round-shoul-
dered and istless, and the question
is often asked whether the woman of
today has lost the healthy beauty
which was>once national character
istic. One of the most common affiic-
tions of womankind is anaemia,
a watery condition of the blood.
This causes untold misery and often
leads to other and even more serious
diseases. 1t can be cured, how
ever, as the following interview in the
Harrisburg Star Independent will
show. Miss Annie L. Reel, of No.
910 Green street, Harrisburg, Pa, who
has been sufferer from this trouble,
in answer to a reporters question,
said:
Yes, I am entirely we'll now but
I was very sick girl. About five
years ago I had an unnatural craving
for highly seasoned food and after
that [ was afflicted with headache
and my heart would beat about twice
as fast as it should. My limbs got
so weak that I had to rest on every
step when going up stairs The color
of my skin was like that of dead
person. My limbs, and, in fact, my
whole body, would swell at times.
| The doctor who treated me said my
complaint was anaemia.

the disease go few weeks longer /
would have had dropsy. was under
his care for several weeks, but with
little change for the better.
How, then, were you SO completely
restored to health" asked the re-
porter.
II had been sick for two months
when I began taking DR.. Williams

week was feeling better. The head
ache left me and I began to get
stronger I took the pills for six
weeks and became thoroughly cured. .

Queen Never Discarded Old Clothes.
The sorting and arranging of the per-
sonal effects of the late Queen Victoria
was a tremendous task, says London
correspondent. One popularity of her
majesty was never to discard any
dress, mantle, hat or bonnet which she
had ever worn, and her wardrobe
might well have been considered the
most complete record of the fashion of
the last sixty years in existence. An
other fancy of Queen Victoria was to
have everything In duplicate; two hats,
two cloaks, etc, were always ordered.
Her majesty had wonderful collec-
ton Of lace, but this is not to be COM
pared with the collection of the Queen
Dowager Of Italy, said to be the best
in the world.

way to cure deafness, and that is by eonstitu-

feet hearing, and when it 1s entirely closed
deafness is the result and unless the infiamma-
