RUMonEp OF

Earl Nelson, who is in his eighty
second year, is the only living peer
who was II member OF the house Of
lords when Queen Victoria came to tho
throne.
King Edwards reign has by no
means brought joy to the heart OF
London tralespeople. A leading trade
paper laments the fact that a great
portion Of the trousseau of Princess
Margaret of |Connaught was purchased
IL Paris.
There is something in the soft
round cheek and the direct outlook Of
Princess Margaret's candid eyes that
recalls the early portraits Of the great
queen, and there are traits OF character
that bear the same stamp, such as
truthfulness, clear insight, earnest
ness Of purpose, and last, not least,
Saving common sense.
England's future king, Prince Ed
ward of Wales, now IL years old, pos
sesses a child's habit of saying the I'M
expected thine. When visiting King
Edward, the other day, the king asked
him what he was studying, and the
little prince said: "All about Perkin
Warbeck." Asked who Warbeck was.
the prince replied; He pretended he
was the SOL of the king, but he wasn't;
he was the son of respectable parents"
There is a singular coincidence
about the two English royal princesses
named Louise, They are both the
daughters of British monarchs, they
are of very fair complexion and both
married out Of the blood royal. Each
also selected Scottish peers-the duke1
of Argyll and Fife-botn Of whom are
as fair-skinned as their wives. Still
further goes the coincidence. for
neither of the royal duchesses has pre-.
scented her husband with a male heir.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Prof. Reickenbach is said to have
proven that 80 persons in 100 can see,
in the dark, colored rays from the
human body and flashes from a mag.
net.
The flicker sometimes noticed In
lightning proves to be due TO the fact
that several lashes-sometimes Ave or
six-.follow II path too rapidly to be
separated by the eye. The trails shown
in photography of very bright flashes
are caused by incandescence produced
in the air for a very brief period.
A new product of the electric fur
mace has been introduced in France
under the designation calstonite. II
is a double carbide Of barium and cal
cium. produced by NJ. ]. Cartier, an
Observation-Disclosures Of Mancioux, which
decomposes on contact with water, like
calcium carbide.
A stereoscopic star chart Is the sue
cessful novelty of 7. L. Heath, the Eng.
lisk astronomer. The stars in a given
section Of the heavens are drawn from
two points of view that are sup
posed to be 26 years apart, and un
der a large stereoscope the double
view gives q rough but very instructive
impression Of the stars floating in
space at an approximation to their
relative distances, instead Of es points
against the dark background of the
sky. The result is a most interest
ing one.
Electric waves and sensitive re-
ceivers offer a means of performing
a variety of operations at a distance.
Prof, Il. u. Branly has been trying 10
attain such results, and has shown the
Paris academy an apparatus by which
he car start an electric motor, cause
incandescent lamps to glow, and cause
an explosion. These effects may be
produced or discontinued in any de-
sired order, one afte" another, They
were chosen arbitrarily for experiment,
and it Is possible to bring about at a
distance other mechanical action or Sc
ries of actions, or to work a compli'
Gated machine.

HISTORICAL BITS.

Cromwell is said to have originated
the board of trade idea.
Sugar, when first introduced into
England, was only used for the pur-
pose of making medicines more palat-
able.
Wire drawing was invented +"
Rudolph Of Nuremberg in the early
part of the fifteenth century. Wire
was first made in England in 1863.
Bombs, it is said, were first thrown
March "a, 1880, on the town of Wach-
tendenck, in Guelderland. The his
torian Hone says "the invention is
commonly attributed to Gaalen, bishop
of Muenster."
In 1892, in England, butchers were
compelled by law to sell their beef for
a half penny a pound and mutton for
three farthings. The butchers of
London sold penny pieces OF beef for
the relief of the poor, every piece two
pounds and q half. sometimes three
pounds for a penny.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success OF Lydia {. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that 1t
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to-
health by Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be a fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed Is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia +. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for u quarter OK
Il century?
Simply and surely because of its sters
ling worth The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly aud positively because there
is no other medicine in the world SO
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of ~womankind is not be-
cause il is q stimulant-not because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
cURIgo disease and dis~placements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who

Fish, because of its tendency rapidly
to decompose, holds a peculiar position
among foods. In England it is the sub

kindly state, through the columns of
the Home Health Club, the proper
treatment for a case showing the fol-
lowing symptoms. The lady is my
daughter, a farmers wife in Massa-
chusetts. she writes: My left hand
keeps going to sleep. 1t gets numb
and prickles, and then sharp, shoot
ing pains go through the arm and
into the fingers. Ny hand is stiff, and
has to be rubbed briskly before | can
use it. For two years | have dreaded
to make button-holes or do darning,
because of my hand Yours, cor
daily, ]. C.
Have your daughter foment her en-
tire arm and hand thoroughly every
night. Then follow by a good rub
bling with pure olive oil. Each morn
ing upon arising massage the entire
arm aud hand for at least five min
utes. There need be no particular
movements used in this massage--just
work the flesh smartly with the other
hand; stretch the fingers, roll them,
pinch them; stir new life into them.
A mechanical massage roller would be
of great value, however.
l presume you know what L TO-
mentation is; but, for fear you don't,
| will describe how TO apply one TO
your daughters arm. Simply wiring .
wooden blanket out of boiling water,
and wrap this hot mass around the
hand and arm 1t is better to rub well
with oil first, so as to avoid burn
ing. Be careful, when removing, that
the arm does not become chilled, or
harm will result.
