Benson's Plaster is Pains Mastar.)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better th07, ever. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in it's
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured qutckly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many non
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one Of the few @ home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of Csc. each.

CARRIER PIGEONS RIVAL.
There Is n Likelihood That the Crow
Will Bear Messages.


Germany, which brought out the dog
as bearer of help to the wounded on
the battlefield, is thinking now of sup
planting the carrier pigeon with the
crow, says the st. Louis Republic. One
argument in favor of this substitution
is that while people might kill carrier
pigeons for food the crow would be eX-
empt from that danger, as eating
crow" is a term of contempt with civil
LIKED peoples. On the other hand, if
people will not eat crow crow will eat
carrion, and it is feared that these
crafty birds might linger too long over
the succulent feasts Of the battlefield
to make them valuable as carriers of
dispatches.
However, a society has been formed
in Germany to exploit the crow in this
new field. Members Of this society be-
lieve that the crow can be tanned and
trained, and awhile ago the kaiser SOL
emily reviewed crow in march
past" which in foreign armies is equiv
alent to our review" The emperor
walked around the crow, and then the
crow marched past the emperor, who
expressed himself as delighted with the
appearance Of his newest and strangest
recruit. But as to experimenting with
the crow as bearer of dispatches, that
really hasn't been done yet.

Vast Coainelds Found In Khcdesin.
The experts sent out by the British
South Africa company to inquire into
the reported find of coal in Rhodesia
state that the coaltield is situated
some $50 miles northwest of B,la-
wayo ard is known to extend over at
least 400 square miles. says q Cape
Town correspondent. The seams vary
from ) feet to 16 feet in width. and,
as the coal lies within 40 feet of the
surface. it will be worked by means of
inclnes instead of shafts. The coal
is said to be better than that now in
use in the Transvaal, Natal and Cape
Colony and in some cases compares
favOrably with the best Welsh coal.
In view of the discovery. it has been
decided to take the Cape to Cairo rail
road through the center of the coal
fields and on to the Victoria falls.

Description of Dress to Be Worn by
Alfred NandcrbiIt's Bride.
Naturally there is widespread inter
est, combined largely with curiosity,
over the marriage of Miss Elsie French.
daughter of Mrs. Francis Ormond
French, to Mr.. Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt, which will take place on Mon
day, Jan. IA, in the Zabriskie Memorial
church, at Newport, r. l. This inter-
est, manifested in New York and other
rites in the United States where the
two families have intimate friends, is
somewhat mixed with disappointment
because the wedding is to be very sim
pie, and the invited guests to the we'd
ding breakfast will be not more than
$50 at the very most.
Miss French's wedding gown, while
it is, so far as texture is concerned, of
matchless beauty and elegance, will be
chiefly remarkable for its simplicity,
says the New York Herald. The en-
tire costume will be Of the richest ivory
white satin. The skirt, with train
nearly three yards long, is a perfect
model Of graceful and symmetrical
lines, made to fit the slim figure Of
Miss French with such effect as to
make her appear taller than she really
is
Covering the entire front Of the gown,
from the neck to the feet, is piece Of
exquisite round point lace, present
from the brides uncle, Mr.. Edward
Tuck of Paris. The corsage, made
high, with tall collar of the lace, has
long, close fitting sleeves of the satin,
finished with deep cuffs of the same
simple in her tastes, will have the bot
tom of her skirt-that is, from the side
breadths all around the long train
trimmed with tulle and sprays of or
ange blossoms.
The brida! veil will be Of magnificent
brussels point, the same worn by the
brides sister, Mrs. Herbert Francis
Eaton, on the occasion of her marriage
in the Royal Military chapel yelling

Defacin= the Washington Monument.

The Washington monument is slowly
but surely disappearing. Nandals are
carrying it away in their pockets. The
interior is constantly being defaced. In
many places, according to the Wash
ington Post. the Inscriptions on stones
contributed by the various states of the
union, as well as those sent by organi-
cations, have been greatly injured.
From the appearance of some of the
marble it has been attacked with iron
instruments. Letters have been bro
ken off tablets. While the great bulk
of the damage is doubtless done by
relic hunters, some of the highly pol
ished stones have been injured simply
for the sake Of dcfacing then.

ology play no insignificant part. The
increasing interest and attendance at
the various dairy schools throughout
the United States and Canada, the ex-
istence of great cooperative and COIN
mercial organizations for the manu-
facture and sale OF dairy products is
an undisputable testimony to the
achievements Of modern science; in
this great industry the government
has appropriated vast sums OF money
to help the dairyman in his work, and
this is indicative Of its Importance as
a factor of the great food problem OF
the world.
The territorial lines Of the dairy
belt have long since been annihilated.
A few states and provinces in the east
no longer enjoy the exclusive distinc-

great countries to the south of us,
Central and South America, are eager
for American dairy products, and,
with more people from these countries
visiting the exposition in 1901 than
have visited the United States and
Canada in the past half century, the
great commercial opportunity to ex-
hibitors of dairy products and sup
plies needs no further comment.
A large, beautiful building, located
near the Agricultural building, will be
devoted exclusively to dairy products
and dairy apparatus.
All the milk products will be exhib-
tied in glass cases, properly refrig-
Grated for the purpose Of maintaining
as far as possible the texture and
quality of the products on exhibition.
