more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink

others by mail, and this has been GO

Surely women are wise in seeking

Mrs. pinllham never violates the con-

THE twelve weeks winter short course
of the dairy school of the University of
Wisconsin has just: completed one Of the
most successful years of its existence.
The total number of students enrolled
this year was 140 which taxed the school
to the utmost, since the accommodations
were originally designed for but 100 stu
dents Most OF those enrolled are from
Wisconsin, but the number included two
students from the Argentine Republic
and one each from California, North Da-
kota Ohio and Minnesota. Among the
students was a party of Swiss cheese
makers from Green county, who are TAX
ing advantage of the instruction in for
eign cheese making. About one-fifth of
this years class had engagements TO run
factories during the coming season be-
fore the course was completed, and a
number of others have made arrange
ments for positions for spring. Requests
are being received daily at the Dairy
School for graduates who can take
charge of creameries and cheese factor
les, and as usual, the demand is likely
to be greater than the supply. The in
struction is still being given in the Dairy
School to 1873 students 10 the short
course in agriculture and to II students
who are taking the four years agricul-
tural course. The summer Dairy School
for factory pupils begins on March list
and the course will be continued from
chat time until November l.

Mrs. Disraeli,s Economy.

Cf the rigid economy practiced by
Mrs. Disraeli there is one very good
story told: Mrs. Disraeli and her hus
band had come down from London to
spend the Easter vacation at Hughen.
den and had called on the various
tradesmen at Wycombe to order the
groceries and other requirements fol
their ten days or fortnight's stay. 1t
so happened that their sojourn was
rather abruptly shortened, and Mrs.
Disraeli was seen calling at the gro
GERS and other purveyors, taking out of
the carriage the nOncOnsumed wares
and asking the shopkeepers to receive
them back and have them reweighed
and so to make reduction in their &C
counts.
The great statesman, with folded
arms. was leaning back in the carriage
perfectly nOnchalant, but evidently de
sirOus to have no share in the frugal
transaction. Such rigid economy was
no longer required after the old lady
who SO admired his books died and left
him her entire fortune, amounting to
over $40 00O.-I.ondOn Tit-Bits.

Flight of the WOOdcOck.

Some writer's have claimed that the
woodcock is sure in his flight, never
becoming entangled in briers or creep
ing vines when in swift flight through
close cover. That may have been their
experience but is not mine 1 have
seen woodcocks when flushed in such
spots become SO entangled that they
were forced to cease flying and drop to
the ground to again make a new start
in flying I remember one old fellow
that sat hidden before the stand of
one of my settlers until l almost step
ped on him and then, rising nearly into
my face, got tangled in a clump of
ironWeed and fell at my feet. Had
been so disposed could have caught
him in my hands, but my desire was to
see if he was injured, and a moment
later he proved that he was only q
badly frightened woodcock, as he dart
ed away through cover while | watch
ed and laughed at him-Amateur

brought up in the nominal religion of their parents. No proselytisu1 from one Church to another was permitted. At the homes they had twenty shops and departments for technical training in operation. He was greatly pug zled. he said, that the London County Council, which spent large sums on technical training, never contributed to the work this society was carry ing on. It was with regret that he was forced to confess that for five years his income had fallen seriously behind his expenditure. As a conse- quence there was a large deficiency which had grown up, and he and his co-workers appealed to the public for such assistance as would wipe out their liabilities. He had a scheme which embodied the experience of his life. It was now under consideration, and if it could be carried out in the spirit and manner he desired, he be- lieved that something more than the rescue of a few children would re- sult-a widespread national movement which would take note of every desti- ute child, and give it a chance of decent citizenship.

THE BENNrNGrox,s BoTzERs.

It is becoming plain that the condi- tion of the boilers of the Bennington was not good. The department was officially advised eight months ago that the boilers would probably last for several months more, but this warn ing was either forgotten or disregard ed, for the vessel was not kept at navy yard long enough thereafter to re- ceive the needed repairs. Evidences are found on every hand that it was a matter of general knowledge, at least with a number of officers, that the boil CTS of the Bennington were in a weak ened condition. Commander Kossuth Niles was so informed by Fleet Engi- neer Herbert in November last. Con- mander Niles informed the department in November, 1904, that unless the fur mace boilers of the craft grew material ly worse there was no urgent need of sending her to navy yard at once. It is now learned that he added the inn portant statement that the boilers would probably last several months longer without tinkering. Shortly aft CT making that report Commander Niles was relieved from the Bennington and was succeeded by Commander Lucien Young.
 Whether the attention of Commander Young was drawn to the condition of the boilers of the gunboat is not known, for there is no record of his having made a demand on the department for extensive repairs. The Bennington was sent to the Mare Island Navy Yard in April of this year, with orders to have as much engineering work done as the length of her stay there would admit The Bennington was at the yard only for a brief period. She left in May, and nothing whatever was done to improve the condition of her boilers. The navy yard hands put in some new tubes and patched up the en- zines, but the defective boilers were neglected. This was probably due to lack of time.

cORN IS GROWTNG.

We had some pretty fair weather for corn in this region last week. and there was similar weather in other parts of the country. Corn has been growing some in the Cherokee nation as well as around here. Tne news comes from the western part of the Cherokee nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was, getting along, and now the stalk is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn, and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs.
 The only way to find that lost boy is to advertise for him. As for the corn, 1t has been known that there was going to be big crop, and the Cherokee nation might as we'll have some of the bigness as any other place.

ANorHER COTTON REPORT

The governments revised acreage re- port on cotton, showing a decrease of 14.9 per cent, against 11.4 per cent. put out on June 2, was announced in the New York Cotton Exchange yesterday. It put prices up, but it wasn't very well received by the thoughtful. Many be- lieved the revision was compromise between the governments old figures and the 1872 per cent. decrease in acre. age estimated by the Southern Cotton Growers Association. Under the old system it is understood that an allow ance had been made for eXaggeration of crop damages and reduced acreage reports from farmers, but nobody seem- ed to be able to say whether any such allowance had been made in compiling the report issued yesterday. It was general opinion that the report was compiled on the face of the returns as received, out of difference to the clamor which has been raised during the past month by the officials of the Southern Cotton Growers Association and oth- CTS. A large number of representative interests, however, refuse to believe that there has been any such heavy decrease as is reported.
 So it goes. It is to be hoped that in the course of time confidence in the governments crop reports will be re- stored.
