Tho Absence of It.

II there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence of all
pain, mental and physical. the enjoy
ment of it can only be found in hea-
ven. But so far as the physical is con-
cerned, it is within easy reach; at
least measurably so as far as cure will
go. The sum of human misery in this
line is made up of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afllict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category.
which, if taken in time, cannot be
cured They must in some form af-
flict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and joints of the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
full to the system. st. Jacobs Oil is
made to cure them, to search out hid
den pain spots, and to cure promptly
in a true remedial and lasting way.
Very, very many have not known hap
piness for years till they used it. and
very many are putting off cure and
happiness because they don't use it.

MAKING AN EXPLOSIVE,
The Care Taken by Iiritons in Prcpar-
Ing Powerful Cordite.

Inc Sure Dy In PrcDar-
ing Powerful Cordite.
Hayle, little port on the coast of
Cornwall, has been attracting consid-
cradle attention of late, owing to the
fact that it is the place where cordite
is made, and the making Of high ex-
plosives has recently been a matter of
parliamentary inquiry. Cordite was
first adopted for military purposes by
the British government in the year
1895. The manufactory at Hayle was
established in 1888, when cordite was
sold for use only in mining operations.
The explosive is now said to be the
perfection of smokeless powder, the
most unerring propelling agency yet
discovered. 1t derives its name from
its shape, and in process of manufac
ture its shape suggests the appearance
of discolored macaroni. 1t is made in
all sizes to fit the charges of various
weapons used by land and sea forces,
from the 12-inch naval gun, taking
cords half an inch in diameter. down
to the army pistol, which takes threads
not exceeding one-hundredth part of
an inch in thickness.
The progress of manufacture is in
tr:cate. But one of the essentials may
be mentioned. Mixed acids must be
forced UP to a tower at the highest
point OF the estate, TO be mixed with
giycerine, when the first process of nj
trating takes place. From here the
nitro-glycerine permeates back to the
lower levels increasing in purity at
each successive halting place. There
are only two divisions of the cordite
factory, colloqually known among the
men as the outside" and the inside"
The outside comprises those depart
ments which are not primarily danger
Gus, and where the stringent precau-
tions which rule the inside" are not
essential. In the inside" on the
other hand, there are iron rules which
must be obeyed to the letter.
The visitor who crosses this danger
area under the conduct of the manager
must submit to be searched, so that
nothing in the nature of glass, knives
or matches is left in his pockets. He
will not be allowed to pass beyond the
door of the shops, though he can OBJ
serve the operations from the en-
trance. No one is allowed to set foot
upon the polished white floors who has
not donned special soft-soled boots

In the town of Emmonsville there
dwelt young girl who had resolved to
become a physician. Strange to relate,
she was very beautiful; stranger stili,
she was not one of those new women
that would have looked so much bet
ter in masculine togs, and still strang-
er. she was very much in love with
handsome. lovable, young man, Jer-
ONE Boucher, and had already prom
ised to marry him.
Now this young man was lawyer
of great promise, but little present
achievement. He was not in position
to undertake dual responsibility at
the present. and, during the interim
Miss Mollie Dalton couldn't see any
great good sense in being unemployed.
While her Jerome was struggling up
the hill she believed it almost wicked
that she should watch him, hands
folded, in the valley of idleness.
But Jerome could not bear the
thought of her being a doctor, and he
told her well of it, as they sat together
on the soft turf, beneath the shade Oh
a great beech one August afternoon.
"Mollie Darling" said Jerome, his
fine eyes brimming with lovelight,
how could l bear to hear you called
DR.. Mollie? Oh, / couldn't, and snail
mott Please get that notion out OF
that pretty head. Such notion, long
continued, will disfgure you, dear. IL

beauty. Oh, you look like doctor

transform and dishgure yourself. The
mind can knead the body into most
any shape it sees fit. BY their looks
ye know what people are.
IF you persist in your determina-
tion. the dimples of your cheek Will
sink, spread and deepen into concavi-
ties. Your golden, glossy hair Will
wear off short. and get straight, dry
and pale as wheat stubble in dog days.
Your plump lips, red and warm now,
will get ironed down thin and tucked
in at the corners. Your nose, straight.
fine and Greek. will get q hump on
itself, and sharp and hooked at the
end like 'hawk-billed' knife. Your eX-
pressive blue eyes will lose their ador-
able softness and luminosity and will
become sharp, penetrating. analytic,
scientific. Oh. how could I bear it!
Mollies sweet blue eye becomes the
doctors scientific eye!"
During this disquisition "Mollie Dar-
ling" gazed at him with face sparkling
with smiles, but beneath those smiles,
like a back wall. frowned a stern reso-
luton. Jerome saw this, and looked
discouraged.

decided voice, My mind is fully made
up. I'm going to be something and

surprised tone, that you could be so
unreasonable and perverse."
You mean you didn't know I could
be so sensible and farseeing," she re-
turned, with defiant smile. ,,
Jerome rose to his feet. He ran his
long fingers through his soft chestnut
hair, then pulled his hat down hard
on his head. He gazed absently toward
cornfleld a hundred yards away, in
which man was plowing, and fine.
buXom young woman was cutting
weeds from the corn rows after him.
The man halted, turned toward the
woman, uttered some banter, then
playfully picked up a clod and threw
it at her. She lodged the clod, gayly
cackling, and then playfully lifted the
menacing hoe toward him.
Mollie caught the idylic picture. and,
looking up at Jerome with a meaning
expression, exclaimed:
Happy young married folk!"
But the suggested picture of mutual
help was lost on jerome at that mo-
ment. He was a typical young south
erner of the old school-one of those
who contemplate women through chiv-
alric ideals only. A woman, according
to his doctrine. is 4 genius or inspira-
tion for man, but she, her sacred self,
must not achieve.
When do you leave?" he asked in
a sad voice.

not known. He left none behind

AN UNAPPRECIATED INSECT.
Tha Mission of the Spider as Seen by
Scientists.

Tha Mission of the Spider as Seen by
Scientists.
1t is pity that such interesting and
useful creatures as spiders should be
so universally disliked, writes N. Hud-
son Moore in the Chautauquan. The
chief prejudice against them arises
from the poisonous nature of their
sting or bite, but If one can put all
this mass of testimony out of mind
and believe that a spiders bite is no
more harmful than a needles prick
one can endure their proximity, and
study their habits at leisure. Who
that kills spider is prepared to do its
work to mankind! Under the head of
beneficent insects should be written
large the name Arachnida. Their mis-
sion is to keep down the hordes Of in
sects whose increase would threaten
the life of mankind. Some scientist
has advanced the theory that If dragon
flies were raised in sufficient numbers
they would keep down the hordes of
mosquitoes that ravage our coasts, as
well as our inland retreats. But Mr..
Henry McCook, our most famous
arachnologist, thinks that If spiders
were protected and suffered to increase
the mosquito plague would be lessened.
Many people are prejudiced enough to
consider the remedy worse than the
disease!

Her shingle attracted little attention,
but her beautiful face and figure did
from the first. Before week passed
she had begun to get patients, and,
what was better. fees We're paid in ad-
vance, and usually double the amount
of the charge. Before two weeks went
by she was getting calls hourly A
novel fact soon began to dawn on her,
however that was disturbing She
began to discover that nearly all her
patients were handsome young men,
and that If they We're diseased at all
the complaints were SO deep as to baf-
fe her powers of discovery. Was she
a failure in diagnosis?
A young man would come in COM
planning of heart trouble. He would
lie down on a sofa and long eXamin-
alton with stethoscope would ensue.
The heart pulsations, except for little
nervous excitement, which the patient
rather than she could have accounted
for, was all she would find. Cases of
monotonous similarity were multiply
ing and her professional pride and dig
nifty were suffering. Some young gen.
tlemen would insist on second exam
ination, and when she would sternly
assure them that there was only func-
tional excitement at most they would
not be satisfied.
All these experiences set her to
thinking. and quietly investigating.
She soon learned that in nearly every
instance her wouldbe heart patients
were single men! Her landlady still
further enlightened her one day by re-
marking: you pirty little thing. you,
Jest as long as you remain as pirty as
you are now, heart trouble is goin'
to be owful in these parts! It'll take
the form of jealous heartaches among

Poor little doctor,
She felt so shamed and humiliated
she didn't know what to do. To have
her noble profession turned into a sub
ject of mockery and burlesque and
she herself made ridiculous she could
not bear much longer. Only her need
to do something for her daily bread
kept her from tearing that sign from
the door and flying back East.
One day she was sitting in her Office
sadly ruminating when her door
opened and a tall, fine looking, bearded
man entered.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

The fourth week OF the season Of the
American Opera company was opened at
the Providence Opera House last even
ing with Aubers ever charming and mels
odious opera Fra DavolO Taken as
whole the opera was as pleasingly given
as any In which this company has been
heard.
The constant growth Of the company
In popular favor was well shown in the
large audience present last evening, not
withstanding threatening weather con-
ditions. Aubers opera has charms for
nearly every music lover ana IL has
llghtness that is ever fascinating. LIS
melodies linger long In the nina after
the curtain is run down.
While the opening of the opera last
evening, lacked something OF the vin1 and
fnish that the company generally gives
TO the work undertaken before the per-
formance was well under way principals
and chorus were displaying all the care
and attractiyeness that has made the
companys work worth the high favor
IL has received.
William q. Stewart made as attractive
a Fra Diavolo" as one could desire 10 see
outside of real life. His fine voice was
heard 10 advantage and he was parttcu-
larly effective I'm his song with Ierlna
and in the duet with Lady Allcash.
Clever and finished was his work I'm the
last act. George Tallman as Lorenzo
looked well the soldier, and he sang well
the not too prominent part, musiCally of
the soldiers.
The part OF Lord Allcash is peculiar
one and Herbert SalinEer has u good SON
cepion of H.. The two chief comedians
of the cast. Andrcar Schneider and Albert
Wilder did some very good work as Bep-
po and Grecomo the disreputable follow
ers OF Diavolo. Their repetition OF the
bedroom scene was especially well done
and called forth a number of encores.
Miss Ruth PEBBLES made "a very inter-
esting Zerlna. All Of the interesting re-
quirements OF the part were carefully full
filled by her Her attractive manner no
less than her charming rendering OF her

role OF Lady Allcash is an interesting one
and Roemarte Campbell enters into II
with spirit Her good contralto voice Is
most pleasantly heard I'm the trio In the
third act and she sings with dash and
spirit in the duet with Lord Allcssh.
