Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women
The great majority of nervous women are
SO because they are suffering from some
form of female disease By far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is SO common. |
SO prevalent. that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not UNDER
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness.
In female complaint, ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but rh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. J

King. Victor IL Thrifty.

King Victor Emmanuel of Italy
recently in the interests of economy
had been cutting down the number
of clerks in a government depart
ment, and had received a remon-
STRANGE from the head, who said. he
was short-handed. The king, being
an early riser, went down to that de-
partment at nine o'clock in the morn
ing, and, finding no clerks there,
sat down to wait till they arrived.
1t was not until II that the first
clerk turned up, and found that he
had been keeping the king waiting
for a couple Of hours. The king re-
served his wrath for the head of the
department who had said he was
short-handed.

HOUSING or The POOR.
Problem Which Is Particularly Acute
in Dublin--How Solved.


Housing Of the very poor is a prob
lem which is particularly acute in
Dublin and an association was start
ed three years ago to face it. 1t be-
gan, says the Chicago Daily NEWS,
very modestly and within its limits
has proved a great success in provid-
ing comfortable little homes at rents
from so to rs cents a week for the
poorest class of the population in
stead Of the unsanitary dwellings
hitherto occupied. Business was
combined with philanthropy and the
enterprise has yielded q steady three
per cent. dividend on the capital Of
100000 ($100,0oO) invested. It is
now felt that the time has arrived
when the area of the experiment
should be widened and additional
capital secured. A very useful meet
ing was accordingly held on May 2 in
Dublin, under the Craftsmanship of
the lord lieutenant, Lord Dudley,
who took the opportunity of express
ing sympathy with Irish poverty
and. gets full credit for his sincerity
and intelligence. Lord Dudley said
he had heard much talk of the pov-
erty Of the Irish peasants on the
western seaboard and he had been to
e them for himself, but bad as was
their condition it was not to be COM
pared for squalor and misery with the
state of the people in the poorest
part of Dublin. Of the $4,000 fam
lilies which live in Dublin. FL, 1000 live
in single room tenements and of
these 5000 have more than five in
family. He thought it impossible
that education, civilization and self
improvement could be more than a
farce if people were allowed to exist
in the squalor, misery and degrada-
ton found in these single rooms.
That squalor was not, he said, due to
the character Of the people, for he
had everywhere seen the peoples ef-
forts to brighten it. But their cir
cumstances made brightness and
cleanliness impossible. The meet
ing resolved to raise a further sum
Of 10000 ($5o,ooe) to build suit
able dwellings.

ORGAN-G21NDER WITH TITLE.
Viscount Hinton Turns Out Tunes
for. Charitable Cause.

earl" P~oulett, better known as
Viscount: Hinton, has appeared
again in the London streets with his
organ, says a London cable.
His temperance seems to have
greatly pleased the public, as large
and sympathetic crowds listened to
the organ as it passed through Char
ing Cross road, Tottenham Court
road, Hampstead road, to Camden
towns, and the people were generous
in their contributions.
EARL Poulett, by the way, is not
now "compellcd" to grind the organ
for a living. He is a member Of the
staff of Pearson's Weekly, and is just
now working on behalf of the fresh
air fund. A large notice in front of
the machine announced that all
funds taken were to be given to that
charity.
The story Of Earl"
to the title here given is a strange
one.
In July, 1s4o. the sixth earl, then
Lieut.. William Henry Poulett, mar
ried at the registry office at Portsea
Miss Elizabeth Lavinia Newman,
daughter of a pilot at Londport.
Six months later the present claim
ant was born, and was registered at
Portsea under the name of William
Turnour Thomas Poulett, but the
lieutenant, who succeeded his cousin
in 1864 to the earldom, denied that
the boy was his son. ,
Mrs. Poulett died in 1871, and the
earl was twice married afterward. the
third marriage resulting in the birth
OF William John Lyd=ton Poulett.
This son, now 10 years of age, holds
the family estates at Hinton St.
! George, in .Scmersetshire, the lord
chief justice deciding in his favor
a year ago, when the organ grinder
claimant sought to gain possession.
The claim which is made to the
title, and which is likely to come be-
fore the house CT lords in the near
future, is of course. entirely separate
and distinct from the dispute about
! the estates.

EGG OF AN EXTINCT BIRD.
Is Fifty Times the Size of an Ordl-
nary Hens Egg.


A rare and remarkable curiosity in
the shape of the largest egg in the
world is now OH exhibition in bird
hall Of the American Museum Of Ma
tural History, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The egg be-
longed to a gigantic extinct bird
called the aepyornis, formerly inhab-
iting the wilds Of the island of NADIA
gascar. This huge member of the
bird kingdom, for some unknown
reason, was extcrminatcd in compar-
atively recent times, and nothing but
its fossil eggs and fragmentary re-
mains Of the skeleton can be found.
From the length and size Of the limbs
and feet the birds are said by scien-
lists to have been probably two or
three times the height of an ostrich,
Of which they are supposed to be a
distinct group. They were powerful
and even dangerous creatures to hui
man life. 1t is related that they car
ried off cattle and sheep, and the
white inhabitants had to walk about
with tame tigers to guard and pro-
tect themselves from their attack.
The extraordinary size of the egg,
which is nearly a foot long by ten
inches in diameter, is wildly shown
by comparison with a hens egg,
which seems nothing but a mere
speck in comparison. Nearly half a
hundred hen eggs could be packed
inside. They command a high price,
owing to their scarcity, averaging
from $500 to $500 apiece.

The Most Profitable Crop.

The human hair is absolutely the
most profitable crop that grows.
Five tons of it are annually imported
BY the merchants of London. The
Parisians harvest upwards of 100000
pounds, equal in value to 100000
per annum.

THE SHORTHAND WRITER.
Sometimes Unconsciously Puts Bits
of Conversation Into Manuscript.

"Curious things;frequeptly happen
to the person who writes shorthand,'
said the stenographer to a New Or
leans Timcs-D Democrat reporter, "and
it shows how much a person writing
shorthand yields to the influence Of
sound. Sound really dominates the:
shorthand writer. For a long time
after l began to write short
hand I was sorely puzzled be-
cause of the appearance in my
notes Of words and whole SEN
fences utterly foreign to the matter
in hand. Some time ago was TAX
ingdictation in ahotel. When | went
to transcribe my notes l was surprised
to find tho. line:
MARY had a little lamb !,
And it was put into my notes early
in the action. l was writing serious
legal document, and the line was in
no way connected with the subject |
was dealing with. 1t was a break in
the continuity of an important
thought. After some little puzzling
over the matter l dropped it, and
found that the flow of the notes i'm
mediately aftcrthe appearance of this
line was smooth enough. Directly I
stumbled on the same thing again:
MARY had a little lamb
"1Thc second appearance Of the line
annoyed me much more than the first,
and when l came across the same
thing the third and fourth time l
was simply fretted to death. I could
not understand it at all. After l had
finished the task | gave the transcript
to the lawyer and in doing SO I
thought I had better make sure Of
the fact that he had said nothing
about Mary had a little lamb
Did you Use the linc,' l asked,
MARY had a little lamb
He laughed and said that he had not.
! told him The line had appeared sew
eral times in the notes, but assured
him that I per<istently left it out.
After some little talk he explained
how the thing had happened. It
seems that scveralm were standing
near M in the hotel lobby. While |
was taking the dictation they were
swapping stories and quoting little
funnyisms in verse at the expense Of
the well-known schoolroom poem
Each nan had occasion to repeat the
line:
"'Mary lad a little lamb
And quite unconsciously l caught
the words and wrote them out. A
singular fact is that 1had no rccollec'
ton of the thing, and was not at al
conscious of the chatter about me
Mistakes of this kind often occur. II
is no uncommon thing for the mar
or woman taking shorthand to fine
words that are utterly foreign anc
meaningless in their use. in note:
which they transcribe. As l indi
Gated, it is all due to the fact that the

sound, and hears mechanically" =

Ottumwa, Aug. 10.-The Egg Ship

has filed suit against the United States
Fidelity & Guaranty CO., of Baltimore.
The suit is brought in the district court
here and is for the recovery OF sla'-

bond issued to II. c. Boardman of Ne

In the plaintiffs petition 1t is stated
that on Dec 16. 1901. the bond com
many for a consideration of $50, agreed
to make good any pecuniary losses Oh
the money handled by the treasurer OF
the concern, II. C. Boardman. In NO

the plaintiff company discovered irreg-

ROCK ISLANDS BOND ISSUE.
Not Likely That 1t is for Purpose
Purchasing Another System.

Davenport, Aug 10.-The fact that
the directors of the Rock Island system
are to meet in Davenport Oct. s, and
may authorize a bond issue of $3.50, 000,-
900. according to the call for the meet
ing, has given rise to speculation
whether the Rock Island intends to
purchase some other large system like
the Santa Re. But enormous bond is
sues announced by the Rock Island and
Frisco companies did not, according to
prominent New York railroad financie:,
and director, necessarily indicate an
intention on the part OF the Rock Island
to obtain possession of any important
connecting system. This authority
says that there is no truth in the re-
port that merger of the Rock Island
and the Erie is contemplated.
Reimbursement.
The reimbursement of the company
treasury for the expenditures made FOR
improvements and extensions will abb
sorb a much larger part of the new
bond issue than has generally been
supposed. The mileage of the new road
constructed and paid for out Of the
treasury now reaches total of 500
miles, on which the company has ex-
pended about $16,000,00O
Additional construction is still under
way, notably between st. Louis and
Kansas City. The railroads half IN
terest in the new passenger station IN
Chicago, SIS, 100000 was paid out of the
treasury, and the cost of the new shops
at Moline, which will amout to S1,500,-
