lnasnuch as it is settled that the
Tariff is to be the predominant
issue in the Presidential campaign
of 1904, the Tariff Hand Book,

is no question that the Free Trader
can possibly raise which is not
answered in this h andy book of

to national and in ndividual pros

BLOOD WILL TELL
SUPPORTED g.! FRESH,
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.

A Recent Instance Proves That a
Woman's. Happiness Is Largely De.
pendent on the State of Her Blood.
When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavor-
ably and fails to discharge its func-
tons properly. In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for periodical publication OF
the blood, and SO long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
a cause as a cold or nervous shock
may produce a suppression of this
vital function, and until it is restored
she is doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte
Griggs, of No. S07 Indiana street. Law.

speaks as follows:

You can case your well with con.
crete tile as you describe, but there
would be danger of the tile sinking in
the quicksand. if the sand is very bad.
Tile four inches thick would be suffl-
cient. It would require about one-half
barrel of Portland cement for tile
three feet long. Very fine screened
gravel will make better tile with
less cement than if sand were used.
Sand may be used, but it will require
more cement in doing so.

Very fiat roofs can be made Of
gravel, tar and felt paper. The sheath
ing for the roof should be matched
lumber, then tar paper should be put
on and laid the same as shingles, the
lower part of tar paper should be laid
IN coal tar for about ten inches up
and nailed down to the roof. The pa
per should lap over each layer, so
that when the roof is covered it will
be three ply. After the paper is laid
cover the roof with hot coal tar and
sift on gravel while tar is soft, so it
becomes imbedded in it. The coal tar
can be procured at any hardware
store. Cement plastering on wood
for roofs would not be success. as
it would be sure to crack and not be
waterproof.

The First Gas Machine.

A gas machine is generally under
stood as an apparatus for producing
carburetted air, which may be used
like carburetted hydrogen or coal gas
for Illuminating purposes. When gas
oline, which is a very light and vola-
tile product of petroleum, comes in
contact with the air it is dissolved by
the air-in other words, the air be-
comes charged with its vapors to such
an extent that the air and vapors form
a fairly good substitute for coal gas,
requiring a slightly different burner.
Oliver P. Drake, a philosophical in.
strument maker, Of Boston, Massachu-
sets, was the first to use gasoline for
this purpose. The Drake machine is
made in the form of a cylinder with q
partition through the centre. One end
was provided with a water meter
wheel driven by a weight and clock
work. This metre wheel pumped air,
which was taken into the other end of
the cylinder, where it came in contact
with the gasoline, the gasoline being
constantly presented to the air by a TO-
tating evaporation made Of wicking.
The air in passing took up sufficient
of the vapors to enable it to be used
for Illuminating purposes. These ma
chimes went into use to q limited eX-
tent.-Sir Hiram Maxim, in Harper's
Weekly.

Pfcfure Poet Cards.

There has been some discussion OF
late as to who invented the picture
post card, and the fad has been traced
back to a German who first gave it to
the world, it is said, in 1872. But the
idea of the thing is very much older
than that, and even some Of its modern
manifestations seem to have been fore
stalled $50 years ago. Lecky says
that political ca%ricatures, which were
probably Italian in their origin, came
into fashion in England during the
South Sea panic. Caricatures on cards,
which were for a time exceedingly
popular, were invented by George
Townshend in 1756."-London Chroni'

more crisply attractive for afternoon
wear. Indeed, it successfully graces
many occasions and at more times or

are the mandolin sleeves and the addi-
