Another club woman, Mrs.
Haule, of Edgerton, Wis.,, tells
how she was cured of irreguIari'
ties and uterine trouble, terrible
pains and backache, by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
"DEAR Mrs. P1NKHAM:-A while
ago nv health began to fail because Of
female troubles. The doctor did not
helpme. remembered that my mother
had used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound on many oc-
casions for irregularities and uterine
troubles, and felt sure that it could
not harm me at any rate to give it .
trial.
II was certainly glad to find that
within a week I felt much better, the
terrible pains in the back and side
were beginning to cease, and at the
time of menstruation l did not have
nearly as serious time as heretofore,
so continued its use for two months,
and at the end of that time was like
a new woman. I really have never
felt better in my life, have not had .
sick headache since, and weigh 20
pounds more than / ever did, so un-
hesitatingly recommend your medi-

Origin of the Monetary Names

There has been a scarcity of small
change of late,' said c. NJ. Bingham
ton, for 40 years with the United
States Treasury Department. "All
sorts of reasons are assigned to ex-
plain this condition, but, whatever the
excuse, 1t is vexatious However, it
is not so bad now in the way of ex-
changes as it was in the olden times.
"The early Italians used cattle in
stead OF coin. person would some
times send for change for 1,000-pound
bullock, when he would receive a %
pound sheep, or, perhaps, if he wanted
very small change, there WOULD be a

Of bullion.
People often wonder where certain
monetary names came from. I'll tell

came usual to call silver watch
'turnip.'
Troy weight is derived from the
extremely heavy responsibility which
the Trojans were under to their cred

The Romans were in the habit of
tossing up their coins in the presence
OF their legions, and if a piece of
money went higher than the top of

CHAPTER NXuI.

Reaching Paris at 8 o'clock in the
evening, not by the Lyons road, as he
had said, but by the Orleans train, M.
Nerduret hurried up to the Archangel,
where he found the cashier impatiently
awaiting him.
You are about to hear some rich de-
velopments," he said to Prosper, land

to seek for the primary cause of crime.
All things are linked together and de-
pendent upon each other in this world of

Nothing is neglected or forgotten, when
stern retribution asserts her sway.
Listen"
AS Prosper listened to the narrative
of events happening twenty years back
it sounded more like romance than n
statement of plain facts. All these in
genious explanations might be logical,
but what foundation aid they possess ?
Might they not be the dreams of an ex-
cited imagination? NJ Venluret did not
finish his report until o'clock in the
morning; then he cried with an accent Of
triumph:
And now they are on their guard. and
sEarp, wary rascals, too; but they won't
escape me. Before week is over, Pros

you shall. And now what have you

At this question Prosper turned Grim

do to keep silent about his imprudent

A Treasure House
Of American History
New York Society's H0ndred Thousand Volumes Valp-
able Paintings and Interesting Relics.

New York, Nov. Sin the century
torical Society has accumulated COL
lection of over 100000 books, pamphlets
and addresses on American history,
an average of over 1000 year.
To many, who think of America as
among the youngest of nations, the fact
that the country contains an historical
society one hundred years old comes
as a surprise and adds TO the interest
they take in its wealth of material.
The hundred thousand publications
cover the whole field of American his
tory and constitute a treasure house
Of information for the student, mo
matter in what section of the coun-
try or with what phase of It's devel-
opment he is especially concerned.
Such a collection in itself entities the
society to distinction but it's work has
been done so quietly that few outside
limited circle in the metropolis have
known anything about It. Now, how
ever, the centennial observance, which
will occur on the 22nd Of this month,
will serve TO call attention TO the really
remarkable achievements of this pio-
neer among American historical asso-
Citations. More than that, the Begin
ming of the society's second century is
to be marked by the erection of a new
home which will be among the finest
buildings of it's kind in the world and
make readily accessible not only a
great store of historical literature, but
also many valuable works of art and
mementoes of the country's early days.
The association is not, as the name
might imply, merely local in charac-
ter. It's work is national in scope and
for that reason of interest In all parts
of the country.
AT present the Historical Society is
housed away over on the east side of
New York far from the portions Of the
city seen by the ordinary visitor. The
building is small and unpretentious
and of the cold and forbidding style
Of architecture common in public edi-
fees Of half a century ago. There Is
little about 1t to attract the attention
Of the stranger. even the name APP
pearing only in small, furnished gilt
letters over the door. Yet this OBJ
scure structure contains in addition to
the societys large collection OF his
torical publications great variety Of
valuable art works and other objects
Of historical interest There are Cat
Inns original drawings of American
Indians, a large series including pic
lures of all the native tribes. While
this collection, Of rare value to the
ethnologist and the general student of
history, was given to the society years
ago, it has never yet been placed on
exhibition owing to lack of space. Au-
dubon's sketches Of American birds
are also of extreme value, but per-
haps these drawings and sketches are
