The most ancient description we have
OF water pump Is by Hero of Alexan-
DIRE. There is no authentic account of
the general use Of the pump in Ger
many previous to the beginning Of the
sixteenth century. At about that time
the endless chain and bucket works
:or raising water from mines began to
be replaced by pumps.

HAPPY MOTHERS
Whose Strength Equals Their
Love.

Few women if any shrink from the
passing pain of maternity. All they ask
is to feel the child's heart beating against
their own as they hold it in strong arms
to the full fount from which it feeds.
How rarely the mothers strength keeps
pace with her love every woman knows.
Often the baby is laid against breast
that cannot nourish it, and folded in
arms almost too weak to bear the tiny
burden. The woman who is strong and
whose abundant vitality enables her to
nurse her child and enjoy its care is
looked upon as a marvel. She is con-

women we'll The record shows that of
the hundreds of thousands of women
who have used vFavorite Prescription
ninety EIGHT per cent. have been abso-
lutely and altogether cured. The other
two women in each hundred for whom
no complete cure was possible, have in
general acknowledged great improve
ment in their condition headaches less
frequent and less painful, backache
greatly diminished; able to resume again
the care of the household and take pleas

story of the two per cent. of women who
had found no help in any other medicine
but have by the use of oFavorite Pre-

But think of the great army, the nine
ty-eight per cent, numbering hundreds
of thousands of women who have been
cured perfectly and permanently. No
more headache, no more backache, no
more monthly misery. Pain is thing
of the past. These are the women who
are fit for maternity, who will have
strength to give the child they bear.

tablishes regularity. 1t dries unhealthy
drains, heals inflammation and liberation
and cures female weakness. Taken as a
preparative for maternity it gives physi-

comes from feeling of strength. 1t en-
courages the appetite, tranquilizes the
nerves and induces refreshing sleep.

Popular Local Type of Round Silo
With Good Standing Qualities.
In the western part of New York, in
the neighborhood of Batavia, there is
/ in somewhat general use a type Of
round silo which is very popular and
seems TO be growing more so. There
are many persons who are prejudiced
against the stave silo because some lit
tie attention is required once or twice
during the year to keep it in condition.
While not believing it any better than
stave silo, Country Gentleman cor

type to those who desire a round siIo
and gives information about it, which

ARDOENE
ESTATE TO
Be SOLD.
Son Of the Late Caterer Files
Petition In Appellate Court
and II Is Granted.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices TIL
linghast and Rogers today heard and
granted the petition OF John Il. Ardoene
one OF the heirs of the late George NJ.
Ardoene for the appointment Of trus-
tee to sell certain real estate.
George NJ. Ardoene when he died in
1856 left considerable personal estate be-
sides three parcels Of improved real es-
tate.
Under the provisions OF his will the Pc
titioner John IL. Ardoene has a life cs-
tate in the real property. Sarah A. Ar
doene, widow OF George NJ, was for sew
en- years a very sick woman, and re-
quired the attention OF nurses and physi-
clans. and in this way the personal estate
and some OF the profits from the real
estate was used up.
The petition filed today states that a
sale of a portion OF the real estate was
necessary for several reasons, the chief
one being that there were many charges
against the estate for expenses for liens,
and money for very necessary repairs
and the maintenance OF the property.
One piece OF the real estate is on Friend
ship street and taxed for $4,000, another
on the same street is sl0,S00 and one par
eel on Ford street is taxed for s2260.
1t is proposed to sell the two lower
priced lots. The larger lot with the
house thereon is the only piece Of prop
erty that meet the expenses of repairs.

MINISTERS MEET.
Methodist and Congregational
Ministers In Session Today.

The regular weekly meeting OF the
Methodist Ministers association was held
In the Mathewson street NJ. Z. church
this morning, with the vice president,
Rev. II. A. Ridgeway In the chair.
Being the first Monday In the month,
1t was devotional day and the sermon OF
the morning was delivered by Rev. f. w.
Coleman. pastor OF the East Greenwich
Methodist church.
Devotional services preceded the SER
mon, conducted by Rev. Thomas Tyree
OF Attleboro
The sermon was from the text Lord
| believe, help Thou mine unbelief," the
speaker presenting what was character
lied as "a care for unbelief."
This prayer" said the speaker, "is
particularly applicable to the age In
which we live for this Is an age OF doubt"
Professor Van Dyke has recently pub
lished a book called "The Gospel for an
Age OF Doubt" which describes the char
acteristics and the peculiarities OF the
age In which we live. This age is dis
ttnguished from a former age. which has
been called the age OF faith" continued
the speaker. The age of faith had its
advantages. but also its unsuperable dis
advantages. for while q former age be-
lieved too much the tendency of the pres
ent age Is to believe too little.
''One age led TO superstition and hu-
man credullty. and the present age leads
TO unbelief; one is as fatal as the other.
"Weaive In an age OF unbelief doubt is
emptying the pews In our churches. sec
ularizing our education. IL Is felt In our
life. In our workshops factories, schools
and literature. In short, Is is the domi
nant note of today"
,fno 20 80 Of Il a,,l
ject the speaker touched upon the cure
for unbelief. which, he declared, was the
coming In personal contact with God"
We need the experience that authent-
Gates itself by Its own clearness and dis
tinctness and needs no outward vouchers.
The old Methodist doctrine OF the
witness OF the spirit.
Reason may lead n man to say there
may be or even there must be, but Il is
powerless TO enable a man TO say there
is positively.
The need OF the pulpit today Is men
who are inspirers Of faith insothers--men
who have laid hold OF the eternal verities
for themselves and know whereof they
speak, and who are at the same time
I'm sympathy with the mental asmos-
