A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
Tor children it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due 10 the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
yous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia f. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

In the parlor stood a solitary indi-

the leader of the jokers if he thought
the stranger would drink with him.
Sure" said the leader, but he is
the bishop of Nova Scotia, and you

Hyson marched up to the stranger,
and giving him familiar slap on the

A one-inch pipe would be too small
for length of 500 feet and a lift OF
go feet. The delivery would be toe
slow. The pipe should be 11& inches
in diameter. Through pipe of this
size an S-foot windmill would pump
about $50 imperial gallons of water
per hour. when running full time in
a good wind or 1900 to 1900 gallons
per day on the average. If pumping
is all that the windmill is required
to do, probably an S-foot mill would
be large enough.
A 2-inch pipe would be unnecessar
lily large, and therefore, on account
of the considerable length unnecessar
lily expensive. The total weight OF
water does not count in pumping, but
rather the weight or pressure per
square inch, and this depends on the
height of the water column that is lift
ed, and not at all on the size of the
pipe. The pressure per square inch
would be the same at the base of a
Pinch pipe as at a 1-inch pipe. On
account of the fact that the friction
is relatively less in a large pipe than
in small one, it would be much cas-
Ter to force water 60 feet high through
Pinch pipe than through a Inch
pipe.

man tells me to lay a two-inch pipe
the entire distance from the spring to
the tank, as the friction on a one-inch
pipe would be too great. Another
man advises me to lay a one-inch pipe
as the weight of water in two-inch

HObOes for a Day.

Just to be real hoboes-genuine
fugitiVes from work and soap-one
day in the year and then to become
themselves again is probably the ex-
elusive privilege Of the students of the
Missouri State University. What
native propensity prompted the strange
custom no one knows, but "Hobo
Day. is inseparably woven into the
tradition of Missouri University, and
the non-observance Of it, in the eyes of
the students, would be as great a
breach Of propriety as the failure to
take note of Christmas or W%ashington's
birthday.
Soon after noon of April 10Th Of this
year three or four hundred university
boys, wearing the regulation uniform
Of cast-off garments, walked down the
railroad track a mile or two to catch
the incoming train. An hour later
when the little "jerk.wAter" affair
arrived at the station every inch OF
visible space from the cowcatcher to
the coupling on the rear end of the
box car that tralled behind the passen-
ger coaches was covered with these
young amateurs.
At three O'Clock King Happy Hooli-
gan reviewed the assembled multitude
from the steps Of tine main building of
the University. Then hunger, that in.
dlspensable accompaniment Of hoboes,
began to assert itself and the followers
OF the high and mighty dispersed for
handouts. The members of the
University faculty and the town-people
had so thoroughly entered into the
occasion that almost without exception
cakes and sandwiches were waiting at

got more to eat than he is accustomed
