Spider a Hearty Eater.

The spider, still and intent watched
the fly that struggled vainly in its
web.

the naturalist. IF YOU had. according

eat daily?"

For breakfast you would eat an

barrels of fresh fish. For dinner two

Eddie Calhoon and Mr.. Leutz Of
Victor pulled 80 pound fish out OF
Salt river last Friday. When they
first found him they caught him with
a rope and as he started to run they
both climbed on his back and rode him
across the river but failed to land
him. The fish got loose and went d.
rect back to the nest. The next at
tempt they used a gait hook and sue
ceeded in landing him,-Stoutsville

An English and an American mer,

so in for a greater subdivision of COM
partments. More numerous compart-
ments would involve enormous incon.
venience in the working OF the ship,
and would be costly in displacement.
However, measures of some kind will
have to be taken, for the very first
desideratum in fighting ship is that
she shall float.
1t can readily be seen that the modi-
fications above mentioned all imply an
increase in weight and size Battle
ships, we venture to say, will in the
future grow larger, not less, and they
will unquestionably continue to be the
most numerous and important type
among the ships of the navy of the
misunderstanding American.

DOCtOTBTIgDan Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e PRnErbaS11IS
Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because 1t
Is q palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where 1t is due.
II physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of themwould acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia q. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience 1t can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves 1t.
DIR. s. O. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes
1T gives me great pleasure to say that
have found Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
compound very eflcactouS, ana OFTEN pre-
scribe IL in my practice for female difficulties
Ny oldest daughter found 1t very beneh-
cial for uterine troublesome time ago, and my
youngest daughter is now taking Il for a fe-
male weakness, and Is surely gaining in health
and strength.

cihc In all diseases to which women are sub

Women who are troubled with pain

Tor hatulence), leucorrhea, falling, in
hammation or liberation of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling. dizziness, faintness, indiRes-
ton, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take immediate action to ward
of the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's VeReta-
BILE Compound, and then write to Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for further
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of a wider experience in
treating female ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her

sDoon, used For Shoe Horn,.

"When you can't find your shoe horn,
put your slippers on with spoon" a
Barnard College girl said the other day,
and it's an excellent thing to remember
in the summer time when everyone
wears low shoes, says the New York
Telegram.
Don't make the mistake of using o

as with the regular shoe horn. Put

The Maintenance of Way forces of the

of ninety-pound steel rails on the main
track. A larger mileage has never been
laid in any one year before. The Erie has
always been noted for its good track, and

weight of the several hundred new engines
that have been purchased in the last two
years. Much of the rail being removed has
only been in track four or five years and

On este sitio cosas vagas acumulad as,
una reproduction en- yeso, demolida,
del Grand.P Palais, papeles viejos, res
tos de cajas de embases, y un grupo,
tambisn on yeso, de dimensiones i'm
ponentes, que representaba & una mu-
jer desnuda que lloraba, sosteniendo
entire sus brazos convulsivos el cuer-
po exangue de I'm nifo. Sobre el So
calo, un nombre: Agar.

La obra me gust6 por la gracia
de 10 ejecuci6n y por sentimiento de
ternura doloross que la animaba. SDe
que cerebro de artista habfa salldo
este ensuefo? No 10 Sc. El amonton.
dimiento de los embases y de los pa
peles vieios ocultaba 10 tirma. Y este
rssto del dltimo salon, allf olvidado,
desdefiado, relegada, leios de las Ial.
gazarSs de la ciencia triunfante, en- ell
rinc6n de las bssuras, pareci6 como
Rlgo muy triste y muy simb6lico. -.
