modification of the photograph was
shown by Mr.. 7. c. Porter. The trum-
pet was removed from an ordinary
monograph, and the diaphragm cover

mixture of coal gas and air was
passed. The gas was led from the
diaphragm, through two rubber tubes
at the end of which were small burn
ers. The burners were set at an angle
to each other SO that the resulting jet
of gas was spread into sheet. If he

MUSIC.

It's the "oompah. oompah, oompah," OF
the music
That a bands a-playin' somewhere down
the street
That's a-doin' ragtime stunts along my
heartstrings,
That's a-pullin' an a-hauln' at my feet;
I'd like to just head-up an follow after,
A-takin' of their dust an steppin' hgih,
An never look to this way nor to that way
At all the folks a-watchin' us go by.
It's the "oompah. oompah. oompah,' Of
the music,
The hyin' flags an blarin of the band,
That makes my mind go "oompah, oompah,
oompah!"
That keeps my feet a-jggln where 1
stand;
That makes my mind go swiftly barking
backward
To grindorgans and to bands l used to
know;
Back to village street they used to play
in;
Back to the daisied fields of long ago.
It's the "oompah, oompah. oompah," of
the music
That makes me prick my ears an lift my
feet;
It's the lifting lifting rapture Of the music
That takes me back to other times as
sweet;
I hope that when I'm called to go UP
And the garment of my soul, this worth
less clay,
Is bound for its last resting place, the
music
viii go blaring: "Oompah, oompah," all
the way.

a life-Savinq Sash.

A Frenchman, NJ Challeat, has in
vented a new sash which. he thinks,
will keep every one who wears it from
drowning. The wonderful article is
made of India rubber; but inside it is
placed little box containing a GER
tain quantity of one of the compounds
of calcium. When the sash comes in
contact with the sea the calcium com

quantity of gas sufficient to initiate
the sash and preserve its wearer from
any risk of death by drowning. Ex
periments have been made with this
new idea, and so far they have been
satisfactory.-EXc

above all, woman who has had
more experience in treating female Ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand eases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the COM
fidence of women. and every testimo-
nial letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over year ago / wrote you letter asking
advice, as | had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. ! received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done 50
much for me-"
just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the werld
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkharl's

tute which druggist may offer.
