PLAYGROUND OF A NATION,
Where Nature Has Been Exceedin DIV
Generous in the Bestowal
of Her Favors.

What is there anywhere that can be
even compared with the marvels of the
heart OF the playground. the Yellow
stone National park? Here in one
place are terraces surprising those of
New Zealand, geysers far more won
derful than those of Iceland. water
falls more stupendous than those of
Cumberland or Killarney, hot springs
OF greater heat and mineral springs
more marked than those of the Au-
vergne, pools of Incompatible beauty,
with bear, deer, elk, buffalo and eagles
to give life to the scene, the whole set
among canyons of glowing tints and
crags of beetling height, while all the
region is easily accessible on splendid
government-built roads, policed by
United States troops. This is the play
ground par excellence. Some day, says
the World To-Day, the weary ones of
France and Germany will fall into line
and spend their summers in the Rock
les. To the uninitiated this will all
sound like characteristic American
rag; to the initiated, as a weak un.
reinstatement of the facts.

. NOVEL USES FOR GLASS.
May Be Utilized as Building Ma
terial and Paving Blocks in
the Near Future.

1t is to be hoped there is nothing
more than coincidence in the simulta-
neous invention of glass houses by an
1owan and of glass paving bricks by
a Partisan, says the Chicago Tribune,
for II the two inventions should come
in contact the architect might have to
begin over again. The patentee of the
glass house proposes to attach brackets
to The beams of the floors of the steel
framework of his structure to support
two walls of opalescent wire glass, the
insulating dead air in the Pinch space
between the two walls preventing the
loss of heat in winter and it's entrance
in summer. 1t is claimed that build
1ngs constructed in this manner will
be more free from drafts than under
present conditions, that they can be
satisfactorily heated with a quarter
less fuel than buildings of brick con-
structlon, and that the absence of win
dows shuts out dust, smoke, odors and
insects, and allows of any arrange
ment of the floor plan desired. The
French inventor in question aims in
cheapening paving bricks. utilizing for
MS invention old glass obtained from
broken bottles, window panes. etc., as
the raw material. The bricks now
being tested in Paris are laid on a
foundation of concrete, with wooden
template one-fifth of an inch thick be-
tween the bricks. Up to the present
the new material does not appear to
wear as well as stone. but it is the be-
lief of the city officials that the thin
ness of the bricks now laid makes them
too fragile. They suggest making them
four inches thick and laying them on
a foundation of sand, as stone blocks
are laid, since, on the present bed.
they have proved too noisy.

JOBS THAT LAST FOR LIFE
employees Of the English Government
Pass from Salary List to
Pension Roll.

Once civil servant always a civil
servant" appears to be the motto of
the English civil service, for unless
one proves dishonest or an extraordi-
nar1ly poor workman, states the New
York Herald, he is retained in service
until the age limit is reached and the
salary list is exchanged for the pension
roll
Unlike the civil service in the United
States, there is no strong partisanship;
appointees hold their positions, no
matter which party may be in power.
The pay is not large, even in view of
the small cost of living in England.
Fifteen dollars is about the limit of
weekly payment in the post office de-
partment, though some of the execu-
tive positions pay as high as $4,000
year. The excise department is a ia
Vored branch, the pay starting at $3.50
a year. This is raised by yearly in
crease of SIS until the pay reaches $500,
and after year is jumped to s575.
From there on the pay jumps rapidly
to $3.50 yearly, and if the officer is for
tunate in at last arriving at the dig
nifty OF collector he draws $4,000 yearly.
Parliamentary clerkships run from
$500 to $4,000 year, and the navy de-
partment will run clerk up to $4,000
If he reaches the Importance of feet
paymaster.
In spite of the small salaries the
places are eagerly sought, since it
means life position, with a pension
for ones declining years.

MADE new STRENGTH

Young Lady Left by Fever I'm Very Weak
State Uses DR.. Williams Pink Pills
with Gratifying Results.

with Gratifying Results.
After fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run its full course there remains
the recovery Of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
perior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble. and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.
GO took the doctors tonics," she says,
"for two months after had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good I looked for. My strength came
back SO slowly that scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at ALL Just
then read in a book thrown in our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength-givers DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are. I got box Of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them could see a very great i'm
provement in my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, I felt that did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever since.''
Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No.
1901 Park street, Quincy, Ill. DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases Of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anemia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements Of the period known as the
change Of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines so many virtues.
AL druggists sell them.
