FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Franklin Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincin- natl Commercial, a ffty-one pound stone was recently found in that city secreted in bale of hay of eighty pounds.
 This is not as bad as finding q lump ot lead of nearly one-half the weight of the solid gold watch case secreted Tn the cen ter of the case.
 Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and no one can see where this lead Is eeereted until the springs of the case are taken out and the lead will be found se- creted behind them.
 These cases are made by companies who profess to be honest but furnish the means to the dishonest to rob the pub lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find that he has luggcd lump of lead Tn hls watch case.
 Another trick the makers of spurious solid gold watch cases Is to stamp the case "U. $. Assay The United States does not stamp any article made out of gold and silver except coin, and the fakr, public believe that the government had guaranteeing the fneness of watch cases.
 Another trick of the watch fdllir IS to advertise a watch described as solid gold filled watch with a twenty or twenty five-year guarantee. These watches are generally sent C. O. D., and fl the pur- chaser has paid for the watch, he finds that the Company which guaranteed the watch to wear IS not in existence.
 The Dueber Hampden Watch Company of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly eX posing these frauds, will furnish the names of the manufacturers who are ID this questionable business.

THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
Duchess of Portland Addresses Plea
 to Feminine Hearts.

The plea urged by the duchess of Portland, as president of the So ciety for the Protection of Birds deserves the widest possible pub licity. The duchess, according to Chambers Journal, utters a note of appeal and warning which should reach the heart of every woman wearing d hat decorated with birds wings or other bird- trimmings. The duchess says "Hats composed of feathers some wreathed in buIlfnches, some with twisted and distorted bod ies of terms, others deckcd with dyed plumes-offend the eye at every turn. From seagulls and bullfinches, in fact, to the brilliant gem of the tropics, nothing ap. pears to be sacred to the trade. Is it useless to protest yet once more against the reckless slaughter of bird-life which this barbarous fashion entails? Thepersonal van ity which sacrifices, not the life only, but the very race of birds created for the beautifying of the world, is unworthy of the ciyiliza, tion of the twentieth century. In the interest of good taste, and for the sake of bird-life, hope l need not plead in vain"

PLANTS THAT KILL.
One Is Strong Enough to Catch and
 Devour a Dog.

Devour a Dog.
 There is a plant in South Amer ica which has all the worst quail ties of melodrama villain, and infinitely greater success. It is called the "knotter," and it is well known to, and avoided by, scien- lists.
 It's great idea, says Stray Stories. is to kill whatever comes along in manner, the tortures of which excel those of the inquisi- tion in horror. On the approach of any living object the vine casts out it's tentacles and twines round it. It is then dragged into the heart of the foliage, while it's flesh is burnt into by the clutch of the tentacles. When there, the crea- ture's juices are drained in man her reminiscent of the vampire of romance.
 The insidious villainy of the plant has been tried by sending q dog or other animal into it's clutches, and, judging from the agony inflicted on the poor animal, the pain appears to be worse than it is possible to conceive.
 Another vegetable murderer is a grain called "bhat" It is much like rice and grows with it in the east. Trading on it's resemblance to the popular grain, it gets mixed with it. and is deyoured by the un- suspecting oriental. A few grains of it are enough to bring on most horrible death.
 An equally excruciating death is wrought by creature scarcely larger than this grain, only thatit belongs to the animal kingdom. This insect, about half the size of q pea, holds the record for exquisite torture among all known deaths. It resides in South America and Australia, but has once OF twice visited England through conceal ing itself in shiploads of timber.
 On one occasion a dock laboreT in the East end came into it's pow CT. He Was unloading timber at  the Victoria docks when the crea ture dropped on to his hands, and bit into his flesh. He thought lit tie of it at the time, but soon the poison worked into his blood, and for three days he endured the most frightful agony.
 The venom of this spider or "specky," as it is called, scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, causing dreadful pain.

BRITISH WEIGHT STANDARD.
ane Change Now Authorized Which
 May Lead to Others.

May Lead to Others.
 The British government has taken a step which slightly sim piities the system of weights and measures now ir vogue in the United Kingdom. For long time the phrase "hundredWeight' has meant 112 pounds, and half a hundred' 56 pounds. Hereafter, according to the New York Trib- une. it will be legal to use a 5o- pound weight. The American consul at Liverpool declares that that city has felt the necessity for the change more than any other place, as this is the leading port of entry for American and colonial produce of bulk. the weighing of which is a considerable item in the handling, and, indeed, in the ultimate cost of the shipments. More cotton, corn. provisions and tobacco are imported into Liver pool than any other city in the world, and by far the largest pro portions of these imports come from the United States; so that The United States is peculiarly in terested in the reform just insti' tuted.
 Americans have great difficulty In understanding the English sys- tenn of weights-almost as much as they encounter in trying to un derstand the English fractional system of coinage. For instance. If you ask a man here how much he weighs, he will tell you, say, ell stone z" \ "stone' is II pounds; so II stone would be 154 pounds. and adding the extra sey en pounds the weight given would be 1G1 pounds. Even EngIfshmer to the manner born have #to make mental calculation in arriv ing at the result in pounds ill such case.
 Sometimes provisions and oth Or articles are sold al so much q stone. and then if the quantity purchased weighs few odC pounds over stone or number of stones tine purchaser and seller have to figure out the price per pound. It is the hope and eXpec tation that the results from tho adoption of the new standard of weight of 30 pounds will be so sat isfaetory that before long the old fashioned "hundredWeight" of 11- pounds will be entirely abolished along with the stone, and that q decimal fraction system of five pounds, ten pounds and twenty five pounds will come into genera use.
 Whether this reform will re tard or promote the adoption oi the metric system by England HOW the only important Flu ropean country that has not in troduced it-is d difficult question 10 answer. Owing 10 the menta inertia of the people, it may moi he thought best to follow ono change quickly with another Still, the kilogram is so nearly equal to two pounds, and the met ric ton differs so little from tn, long ton, that their adoption would cause littleinconyenience ol confusion. Moreover, by accus toming wholesale and retail buy CTS to the decimal system of com putting weights the innovations just made ought to render a fur ther extension of the method con Daratively easy.

DEAR MRs. PINKHAM :- Four years ago I was nearly dead with infamma- tion and Liberation. l endured daily untold agony, and life was a burden to me. l had used medicines and washes internally and externally until 1 made up my mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of n friend, noticed a bottle of Lydia E. Pinlkham's Vegetable Com pound. My friend endorsed it highly, and decided to give it trial to see if 1t would help me. It took patience and perseverance, for was in bad con- dition, and I used Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound for nearly five months before 1 was cured, but what change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delight full exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not change back for thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is Q grand medicine.
