Test Of Device to Prevent Collisions.
With the object Of eliminating the
element OF human error in reading
orders, says the Railway World, a
dYice has been invented for prevent
ing railroad collisions which was
given a test recently before a large
number OF railway men near Pitts
burg. The test took place on the
eastern division OF the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago. There
were seven blocks IN the five miles Of
rack set aside for the purpose, and
whenever II was necessary the new
invention set up in a passenger coach
automatically shut OF the steam and
applied the brakes without the as
sistance Of the engineer Tests were
made at speeds varying from 50 to
so miles, and in every case the new
machine is declared to have worked
with satisfaction.

| Mrs. III. Nrighf

Mrs. Pinl5ham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
'sFor two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. 1 tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to fin1 that it acted like fine tonic, and in
fewoays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. have rec
commended it 10 many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fed endorsement, or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

African Iospitalitv.

Hospitality may be considered as one
of the characteristics OF not only the
Veis, but Of the whole African race. It
is considered theduty of every citizen 10
entertain strangers without the small
est compensation. Places of rest stand
always open, and when these are found
occupied by strangers, man goes and
tells his wife, who will send her servants
with water for the strangers to wash
their feet; for, as they wear no shoes,
they naturally need such accommoda-
ton. Afterward rooms and cloth wrap
pers are given them, food is brought
from all quarters, or they are invited to
eat with the people. They continue to
be SO provided for, even if they stay
months. Their garments are also
washed and returned to them. On leav-
ing, they generally make a small gift
to the wife Of the host. though not more
than two or three cola nuts or two or
three English pennies.-Century.

For Plain SIGNATURES.

Among lot of letters l received in
answer to an advertisement" said a
New York business man the other dag,
according to the Sun, there was ore
that inclined me toward it's writer, ex-
cept that | couldn't read the signature
Every word in the body of the letter
was clear, but the signature was IL
legible. | don't know how many people
there are who write plainly enough
until they come to write their 0Wn
name, and then write that blindly;
suppose it is more from force of ha5i.
than anything else, for they may be
otherwise the most careful people in
the world. Every man should write
his signature with perfect distinctnes IS,
SO that it can be read easily and with
out mistakes by those unfamiliar with
it, and also as a mark of his OWL
care and exactness. One letter hat
l received, it's body written, had its
signature put on with hand stamp.
l didn't know just what to think Of
this, but it had at least the merit OF
perfect plainness.'

Passing of the Diamond.

With the announcement that in the
johannesburg mines there has been
found perfectly white c4amond weigh
ing :, ,uri and half avoirdupois the
romantic history of this precious stone
will probably close. Precious stone, in
deco, exclaims the Chicago Chronicle,
when it has to be cut up like piece OF
cheese or coCtish before it can be used!
The diamond has reigned supreme in
the imagination of men an. women for
centuries. Why? Not because of its
beauty only, for a drop of dew on a
morning flower is more beautiful, but
mainly because of its rarity and its
small size AS long as it was generally
quite small its value increased il geo.
metrical ration with it's weight, SO that
q diamond twice as large as another
was worth eight times as much, but
now all this has come to an end. The
point mas been reached at asst where
q diamond has been found too large -
wear and the announcement is made
alas, alas! that it will be broken up
like a piece of chalk SO that it can be
used. Obviously this ends the princi-
pal charm of the gem. How can (. man
or woman take pride in the size of
q diamond when diamond may be
too large and when some diamonds are
crushed like limestone for greater con-
venience? 1t is impossible to resist
the feeling that this johannesburg find
has made the diamond vulgar 1t is
said to De as large as a fourpound iron
weight and four times as large as the
Koh-i-noor uncut The reign Of the
diamond has been long enough and
brilliant enough for any one monarch.
For thousands of years it has been in
terwoyen with the most exciting and
important events of the world. A his
tory of the diamond would be the his
tory of all the love, romance. intrigue.
adventure, pageantry, pride and crime
OF humanity. 1t has been in a decline
for many years past On account O. the
increasing number and size OF the
gems discovered, but it has held high
place, nevertheless, until this last dis
tressing event. Now that a diamond
has been found that is too big the
stone will probably become more AID
more questionable.

"Did you have physician?"
Yes, took medicine from dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever"
"How did you get on the track Of a
cure?"
IA book about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
"Did they help you at once?"

sLEICHs ARE OUT OF DATE
The Winter Sport Has Lost It's Pop
ularity in Great West
ern City.

Recognizing the winter of 1904 as
one of the best seen for sleighing in
Chicago for several years, the plant
of the Iiveryman is that sleighing rap
idly is becoming a lost amusement,
states the Chicago Tribune. And not
only this, but with the introduction of
the automobile, with the coming on of
the drivers strike, and last and heaviest
the blow struck by the Iroquois theater
fire, the general business Of the livery
man in Chicago just at this time could
not be worse.
Looking for the reasons for the loss
of interest in the sleigh, Leroy Payne
recalls that sleighing at the present
time is for another class altogether than
that which once affected it in Chicago.
THE time was when every sleigh and
cutter in the barns would be out and on
the jump, hired for the most part to
young men who occupied clerkships i'll
counting rooms or in State street stores.
These young people5do not affect sleigh
ing any more. l don't know what
amusement they have taken up in it's
stead, but it is certain that the old-time
sleighing party which used to make up
on winter nights fer an evenings drive
over the avenues and boulevards has
disappeared Notwithstanding the
snow of the present winter, we have not
had one-fourth Of the sleighing that
might have been expected last fall.
las to driving in general, the auto
mobile has hurt the business of the
liveryman, but nothing in the history of
the livery business in Chicago has had
the effect on the business that the the
alter fire had. With the fire came sud-
carriages and all manner of wheeled
vehicles. The effect of the drivers
strike was nothing to it. The closing OF
the city's theaters and the halls in which
dances were held simply put an extin-
guisher upon the carriage business. The
demand from the theater party has gone
and nothing else in the carriage line has
come to take its place. To my mind, it
will be long time after the theaters and
halls are open again before the carriage
business picks up again to it's old aver
age.
with the passing of sleighing, too, it
may be remarked that carriage driving;
as it once prospered in Chicago, is going.
If the clerk at large hired sleighs in win
ter, he also hired buggies and carriages
on pleasant Sunday afternoons and
evenings. But he doesn't do it any
more. Somewhere he has lost interest
in driving, and presumably he cannot
afford automobiling. But it is hard on
the liveryman"
