Railway managers Ia New Zealand
believe that they have succeeded In
finding a new method Of signaling
that win make collisions absolutely
impossible Il has recently been put
into operation there
The block system OF signaling has
been in general use in New Zealand
hitherto; but the new system, called
the tablet" has now been introduced
Its essential feature Is that no engine
driver Is allowed TO leave station
without tablet IN his possession. and
the element Of safety rests on the fact
that the machines are so made that
Il is impossible for two OF the tablets
TO be out az the same time.

Philadelphia.-Few persons would
relish the terrible but thrilling expert

TO be saved from a watery grave when

tortured and mutiIated at their pleas

Is fate not pleasant to contemplate,

Last July while the ship Aigburth was
sailing near New Guinea, bound from
New South Wales Tor Java for cargo of
sugar for Philadelphia, the vessel en-
cOuntered 4 terrible storm. 1t was a
storm typical Of these parts and rent the

I Mrs ZcEEKadsen L4is,Moftie Henry

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhoea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other RENE
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female COM
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. II. G. Willadsen, of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
al can truly say that you have saved my life
and cannot express my gratitude to you in
,naG For two years spent lots Of money
in doctoring without any benefit for men
strual irregularities and I had given up all
hopes Of ever being well again, but | was
persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham,s Vese-
table Compound and three bottles have re-
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you I would have been in my grave

and water, ordered the boats lowered.
Ellis. Davis, Niessen, Macgregor, the
captain and two seamen were the last
TO leave the dismantled and sinking
craft. The two seamen were soon swept
overheard and were lost in the angry
waters. The rest, after trying expert
eDce, made their way to the shore.
Only Five Saved.
OF the 81 souls aboard, only these five
were saved. They had hardly left the
tattered hulk before the remains of the
once stanch vessel were dashed TO pieces
on the rocks.
The survivors congratulated each
other on their narrow escape from the
briny deep, and thought the worst Of
their experience was over. Although
there were no signs that the island was
inhabited. they thought that after the
storm had swept its course, they would
be able 10 rescue enough foodStuffs from
The wreck To sustain them until they
could signal some passing vessel and
make their way to civilization, but the
worst was still TO come.
Land of Strange People.
They had been on the island hardly
an hour before they noticed a swarm of
natives over their heads, passing from
branch 10 brahch among the trees like
monkeys. and with hardly sound
