WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains MASTERY

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
I The very name of Oliver Ames 4 Son, was
ssynonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Bensen's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is "good" plaster does
not describe it; it is the best possible plaster
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received ftty.f highest eaoaads
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.

A Missionary AntidOte.

A great cloud of murky Mersey fog
enveloped Liverpool harbor and the
passengers on the tiny tender could
scarcely see the shape of the great
liner close beside them which was just
weighing anchor for Bombay. On the
quarter deck of the steamship were so
missionaries of both sexes bound out
ward on a mission to convert the heath
en-. They were singing a favorite Cos
pei hymn and as the sound of their
voices foated across the water one Of
the passengers on the tender, manu-
facturer from Birmingham, suddenly
burst into tears.

most 'arrowing sightY' he exclaimed,
dropping tear and an b at the same
time. 81 wouldn't ave missed seeing
them noble creatures going out to meet
their fate in the field of foreign mis-
sions-not for Is note, I wouldn't"
"Have you any relatives among
them?" asked another passenger SYM
pathetically.
"Oh, no; no relatives" walled the
man from birmingham. "But we are
all brethren in religion, and the sight
of their departure touched me deeply.

their ship may have a safe passage"
But if you're not related to any of

anxious" said fippant young man.

day"
yes" replied the man from Bir-
mingham, assuming a more business
like tone, "but it isn't every day in the
week that I've got such an interest in
a ships cargo. I'd be, pleased to have
you know. young man, that in the hold
of that ship is a consignment of 5000
idols which l have just shipped to one
of the native princes. "-EXchange.

When brainy man like David Belasco, the

director in America
When such wide-awake manager of his
own and other peoples affairs deliberately
turns to Paine's celery compound as the one
safe and sure invigorator for his overworked
nervous system, only willful prejudices can
hesitate to give full credit to this greatest of
all remedies.

says Mr.. Belasco, "and found it of great ben
eft after hard work.
Mr.. Belasco has managed more actors who
have become famous and taken charge OF
more big theatres from San Francisco to New
York than any living person. He has seen
time and time again members of "the profess

of nervous exhaustion, gain in strength and
vigor as soon as they began the use of
Paine's celery compound. Theatrical people,
as body, have learned that the best way to
keep their nervous sy stems strong and capable
of doing the hard work demanded of them is
to use Paine's celery compound whenever
they feel tired out, languid, dull, or are suf-

GREASE AT LAUNCHlNGS.
Zig Cost of Getting "A BattIeship Int,


Big Cost of Getting "A Battleship Into
the Water.
"The mere act Of getting war ves-
sci into the water costs a lot of money,
time and trouble" said an engineer,
speaking of the recent launching Of
several new torpedo boats. 81 spent
year and half in the designing room
of the Cramps yard" he continued,
"and happen to know what l am talk
ing about. OF course the launching o
a little torpedo boat is comparatively
easy, and the cost is not over a few
hundred dollars, including flowers and
souvenirs and even the bottle of cham
pagne used in the christening. But
when it comes to big armored cruiser
or first class battleship it is o horse
of a different color, and the actual ex-
pense seldom falls below $4,000 or So
OOO I've known it to go as high as
$4,000.
"The building of the ways for the
ship to slide down over is the main
item, and then comes the greasing.
Every inch of timber over which the
vessel slides must be covered with lu-
bricant. Different firms use different
substances, but soap and tallow form
the main ingredients of them ALL At
the Cramps we used a layer of beef
tallow and a layer of soft soap, and,
taken altogether, between 1 and IA
tons of the stuff were required to put a
move on the average battleship. The
tallow is spread on first to the depth
of about three fingers, and the work
men use big fiat trowels to make the
surface as smooth as possible. TheL
they pour over the soft soap, which is
Just thick enough to run, or about the
consistency of tar.
GAS a general thing, the double coat
ing answers the purpose admirably,
and the ship glides into the water as If
it was sailing on air. If it sticks, as
has happened in few cases, it is likely
to spring some of it's plates, and acct
dents of that kind are so costly that
nothing is spared to avert them.''-New
Orleans Times-Democrat.

where We Meet Russia.

In Boring strait Russia and America
shake hands. Big Diomede island and
Little Diomede stand side by side, the
former Russias outpost, the other our
own. A little strip of narrow sea lies
between the two, and so clear is the
air on a fair day that it seems as if
from one island you could easily reach
across hand to the other. North,
across Kotzebue sound, is Point Hope,
a barren sand spit, extending far into
the Arctic. sea. 1t is the home of a
tribe of Eskimos, who go to the mis-
sion school and church and learn to
sing hymns. to speak little English
and to use soap.

fering from dyspepsia or bilious or nervous
attacks.
Paine's celery compound has saved thou
sands OF people from nervous prostration. 1t
has made thousands we'll. 1t has cured where
everything else has failed.
In cases of severe neuralgia, rheumatism,
heart palpitstiop, dyspepsia, and nervous
feebleness, Paine's celery compound is the
only remedy that goes to the root of the
trouble. 1t fortifies the weakened system
against these disorders and builds up strong,

There is no community in America without
some perfectly attssted cure of liver or kid

plaguing eczema. or general poor health by
the use of Paine's celery compound I'm
paired strength and unstrung nerves, made
known by nnmbness of the limbs, nervous
ness, and worse than all, by melancholy
state of mind-all these weaknesses become
things of the past after taking Paine's celery
compound.
Wherever men and women work and strive
Paine's celery compound is regarded as
godsend. In shop, office, factory. and among
the weary wives and mothers who bear the
burden of domestic work, Paine's celery COM

every bodily function and driving out disease.
1t is peerless remedy in all cases of en-
