From the Cincinnati EHquter

years before Christ.

dynasty was making a tour through the
empire skilled mechanic named Yen Shin
was brought into his presence to entertain
him and the ladies OF his court Yen Shih
mad some automatic figures which not only
were capable OF dancing. but Of accompany
ing their movements with song
During the performance the puppets cast
such 81 gnificant chances toward tho ladies that
the Emperor became angry and ordered the
execution OF the originator OF the play. The
mechanic ripped open the puppets and proved
60 his astonished Majesty chat they were
artificial Instead OF being executed. Yen
Shin wns allowed 20 repeat the performance
which corresponds to Punch and judy in
England and America.

sn Best Understands a Woman'S Ills
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1905-12-13

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan Of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
Sion is a severe strain on woman's s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de-
rangement Of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
pinkham that Lydia e. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain-
full and irregular menstruation.
II provides a safe and sure way OF es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
xiucingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
TO thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes Of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:
tiYour medicine Is indeed an ideal medicine
for women I suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down
pains. consulted two different physicians
but failed to get auy relief. A friend from

hams Vegetable Compound. I did SO, and
no longer suffer as did before. My periods

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE.
is DANGEROUS.
Neglect Of the First Warning Symp'
toms is the Prime Cause Of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright's Disease,
1t is Easily Durable in the Early Stages

Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu.
ton is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi-
clans are OF Indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first APPEARANCE of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in. the estina-
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per-
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in bottle OF
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctors bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. 1t is
equally eficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as last
resort, in cases that defed their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority oyer the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu-
mcrable.

Raw Opium From the Poppy.


The preparation of raw" opium in
North India is, according to the Trop-
ical Agriculturalist, carried out as fol-
lows:
In February, as a rule, the juice
is gathered, the poppy plant being
then in full flower and of a height of
three or four feet, each stem having
from TWO to five capsules of the size
of ducks egg. Before the capsules
are pierced the fallen petals OF the
flowers are carefully gathered and
sorted according to condition, in three
grades, and then are heated over a
slow fire and formed into thin cakes,
to be used for the covering Of the
drug when collected.
The piercing Of the pods requires
great skill, and upon it largely de-
pends the yield. The opium farmer
and his assistants each carry a small
lancelike tool, which has three or four
short, sharp prongs, and with this a
half dozen perpendicular cuts are
made, in each capsule or seed pod OF
the poppy. The juice begins to flow
at once, but quickly congeals. The
day after the thickened juice is care
fully gathered, being scraped off with
a small iron trowel, and the mass
thus gathered Is put into an earth
vessel and kept carefully stirred for
a month Of more, great care being
taken to have 1t we'll aired, but not
exposed to the sun.
The material Is now examined by
expert testers, who determine its
grade or quality, and then the whole
is put into a large box, where it Is
worked very much in the same fash.
ion as bakers dough, to give it the re-
ouired consistency. The opium Is
now made into balls for export. The
natives wade about In the large vats
containing the paste like drug and
hand it out to hundreds Of ball makers
sitting around tie room. Every man
has a spherical brass cup, lined with
poppy flower petals, before him. Into
this is pressed the regulation quan-
tity of opium. From this brass cup
when properly pressed, the opium ball
is transferred to another man, who
gives it a coating Of clay. This gives
the drug. when ready for shipment.
the appearance Of a fair sized cannon
ball
When well prepared In this manner,
opium will keep its properties for
fifteen years or more Before it can
be used. the opium balls have to be
broken up and further treated.

PHONE ON STEAMSHIPS.
Lookout Will Convey Warning Over
Wire Instead of Shouting.

Lookout Will Convey Warning Over
Wire Instead of Shouting.
When the lookout in the crows nest
of the ocean liner of the future sights
an object, in lieu of shouting he will
open a copper telephone box, and say
to the skipper through a transmiiter:
There's a steamers smoke ahead, sir.
Two miles off the port bow. Four
miles away
James H. Hills new steamship Da'
kota, the largest vessel ever built in
America, and a replica of the Mime
sofa, now engaged in trans-Pacif1c
commerce, is equipped with two dis
tinct systems Of telephones, connected
with which are the newest wrinkles
in both general and marine telephony.
Telephoning at sea has never been
success on account of vibration OF the
vessel, noise of machinery the roar OF
the wind, and the admission OF mois-
ture to the parts.
On board the Dakota one system is
an exchange, with instruments in all
the staterooms, women's saloon.
smoke room, stewart's department
and executive officers cabins.
The telephone girl will be in the
stern. At command of her deft hand
will be $50 stations. If a passenger
wishes a steward he pushes button.
On the switchboard drops a target
disclosing the cabin number. When
Central" inserts the plug she looks
for red lamp If the red light does
not glow she knows that only stew
ard is wanted.
If a passenger desires to talk the
receiver is raised from the hook, the
tiny electric lamp associated with
the plug reddens and the girl knows
that conversation is called for. Any
number of passengers can talk togetn
er, conducting from as many different
parts of the ship general conVersa-
tion. When the Dakota reaches her
pier line is run aboard, enabling pas
sengers and crew to call up their
friends ashore, or vice versa.
The second system is the "intercom-
municating." The officers using this
do their own switching. 1t will large
ly supplant the gong and jingle sys-
TENS and the marine telegraph. 1t eX-
tends between the navigating and en-
gine-room stations.
The stations are the bridge, the att
er bridge, crows nest, port and star
board engine spaces, wheel:-house'
chief engineers room, chief electrl-
clans room, central electric lighting
station and the dynamo shelf.
The six exposed stations have water-
proof instruments. The holding case
is Of copper. The talking and liste'
ing part are connected, says the
American Syren and Shipping, so that
all the officer, or sailor has to do Is
to put the receiver to his ear.
To pass hook up and down would
admit dampness or water.
Over the earpiece is placed a rubJer
cushion to shut out the throb of IN
Z engines. In signals requiring the
cutting Of water-tight doors, engine
control, communications from look
outs and delivery and receipt of mes
sages, the intercommuncating tele-
phone is expected to be of superior
utility.
A mechanical arrangement Of the
parts is designed to do away with
the Objectionable feature Of vibration,
which on ships has been the great
bugbear in marine telephoning.-New
York Mail.
