A BottomIess Pit.

A bottomless pit has been found in
the mountains of Hualilai, back of
Kailua,. Honolulu. 1t is about four feet
in diameter. The pit is peculiar from
the fact that it sucks in the air with
remarkable force. Pieces of paper
placed over the mouth do not float
gently down, but are suddenly drawn
in and disappear with startling ra-
pidity. The air rushing. into the pit
can be distinctly felt by people stand
ing on the edge. There has been no
attempt made thus far to reach the
bottom of the pit or to determine it's
character. Strange sounds are heard
in Honaunau- Every night the inhab-
itants of that section distinctly hear a
note similar to the blowing of a deep
steamship whistle. Nobody has been
able to discover any cause for it, and
considerable anxiety is felt by the SUI
perstitious. The noise is heard for
about five seconds, and then subsidies
for space of about ten minutes and
then resumes for another five seconds.

Women In Hotels.

To the amateur student of hi nan
nature the average woman in q hotel
affords rare opportunities for the in
crease of his stock of knowledge OF
the other sex. She rings the bell
three times to mans once She apol-
ogizes and explains so profusely to
the beIlboy that the lad comes DOWN
stairs without the least idea of what
he is to do. Your lady in hotel
will indite some nine or ten letters
a day, and each envelope seems TO
contain three sheets of the hotels pa
per- She will send the missives down,
one by one, to be posted, and eacn
time she sends the naive message:
ASK the office to put stamp on for
me- She never makes out wash
list, but she 'just knows" what she
had, and one pair hasn't been returned.
She Indignantly refuses to confide
more to 1.-The office when he inquiries,
but she affords a wealth of detail that
in no way helps matters.

Hulett, Wyo-, Dec. 4th Especially
An ounce of fact is worth ton of
theory and it is evidence founded on
facts that backs up every box OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The evidence of
people who know what they do. Mrs.
May Taber, highly esteemed resident
of Hulett, says:
.I know Dodd's Kidney Pills are a
valuable medicine because 1 have
used them. I took seven boxes and
they cured me of severe attack of
Kidney Trouble. They relieved me
from the first dose, and when 1 had
finished the last box / had no pain
and my Kidneys are now acting prop
erly.'

ShoeIaces,

The modern shoelaces is an abomi-
nation; yet we have to put up with
it. 1t is either a foot too lone, or six
inches too short. 1t is made flat, as a
rule, but soon becomes twisted and
kinky. One end is eternally getting
longer than the other. The tips come
off. In the old days We made strings
of calf skin. Every farmer was a ex-
pert. We would cut disc of leather
three or four inches in diameter, stick
the point of a sharp knife blade in a
board, place the thumb nail the thick
ness of a match from it, and quickly
draw the string through the opening,
the preimeter being reduced the thick
ness of a match at every measure of
the circumference. Pretty work! Then
the square string was rolled betyeen
the sole of the shoe and the floor till
perfectly round after which it was
creased with tallow. Such a lace
would last for months, but their Shine
soon wears off giving them a appear
ance.

Mrs. Anna potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate a dis
placement or nerve degeneration of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
Is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
NY Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
g During the early part of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
1 were very anxious for a child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it, I
did so and soon felt that I growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, had no more bearing-down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within year /
became the mother of strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it. I"
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.

Where the Lady Was Going.

An official of the Boston, Revere
Beach & Lynn railroad tells the fol
lowing:
1.-The ticket agents in the Boston
Office of our railroad are greatly trou-
bled by patrons who, when wishing to
purchase tickets, lay down a coin
and neither tell where they are going
nor how many tickets they want This
necessitates one or more questions on
the part of the patient agent
"One day little elderly lady APP
preached the window of the Office,
placed a large family umbrella on the
slab, and, after fumbling nervously
in her pocketbook, pulled out quar-
ter and laid it down, without a word
to the ticket seller.
Where are you going, madam ?''
asked the ticket agent
"'Oh, I'm going to the doctors, 80

that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because it

each package contains 16 Ozone full

Starches are put up in u pound pack

cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you

a stock on hand which he wishes to
