The Universal Appeal.

Who wants to make a speech.
They will approve his sentences

But this by no means indicates
That they will vote for him.

The Tarantula as a Tonic.

Panegyrics on science do not do justice to
the noble theme. panegyric may be SO
highly polished that 1t would seem to have

rounded periods, boisterous with high
sounding phrases and all garlanded DER

1t was not so long ago that a scientist
made the memorable discovery that If hor-
nets were introduced into the household the
good housewife would not be troubled with
common house flies. This was great truth.
The housewife would not even notice the
flies. She would have so many other
troubles Flies seem to be such gentle,
harmless things when one is troubled with
hornets. The discoverer OF this process
was not only a philosopher, but he also
knew something of the eccentricities. GUS

other great discoveries, this achieved few
practical results, because some housewives
have prejudice against new devices. and
particularly hornets. There is no doubt
though that IL the experiment had been

Then, not long ago another scientist dis

Apropos of government buildings. The
paragraph from the American Eagle a
Know-Nothing paper. pub
Iron lished in the iron-produc-
Construction ing districts of Pennsyl-
vania, which sought to ex-
plain the cause of an alleged fusion of the
high tariff wings with the democrats in the
recent election. The Eagle declared that
artful publications had been made to prove
that the government was fostering the iron
Industry of the United States by introduce
ing Pennsylvania iron in the public build
ings and works and holding out expecta-
tons for vast consumption of American
iron from this source, The Eagle declared
that nothing of this sort had been done
ana that the appeal to the hight tariff wings
was unwarranted. The Star in commenting
upon this matter said:
while we are very certain that Mr..
Guthrie did not dream of protecting the
lion producing interest at the expense of
other industrial interests of the country.
we are glad to know that the sanction he
has given to the employment of long iron
beams in many of the government build
ings being directly erected by the depart
for the iron interests of the country by
demonstrating to the most skeptical the
feasibility and better economy of that APP
plication of iron. The experiments made,
as we'll as the actual work constructed on
the results of those experiments have
given satisfaction to all scientific and prac-
teal men familiar with them; and 1t Is
now settled fact that light and space
saving wrought iron beams are in a few
years almost entirely to supersede cumber-
some wooden ones in the construction Of
liz rye edifices in this country.

An eminent physician says that 'Women are not truthful; they will lie to their physician" This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in re- gard. to those painful and trou ublesome disorders peculiar to their sex.
 There can be no more terrible ordeal to delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is especially the case with un- married women.
 Is it any wonder, then, that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on?
 This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now core spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her they can and do give every symptom, so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients, through her correspondence with them than the physician who personally questions them.
 Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she will advise you free of charge.
 The fact that this great boon, which is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou sands of letters received by her prove. Many such grateful letters as the fol- lowing are constantly pouring in.

Ask Hrs. Pinkham's AdVlce-A KOma

The Harvard Freshman, with nOnerves at all, one might say, hailed the ad- veture as a Quixoic quest that would be amusing to put to the hazard of chance. The hero of PagO Bridge had little spirit left. but, like Nango, he welcomed any fortuitous hint that would tell him which way to turn in his misery. All three were well worked upon by the sOlace of the moment, and a full stomach makes every man brave. Coffee Johns appeal went home and from the sordid little shop three beg gars went forth as men. One after the other accepted the lucky dime and fared into the night, to pursue the fire fly of fortune.
 In ten minuets the restaurant was dark and empty and Coffee John was snoring in a back room. Three Pic aroOns were busy at the Romance of Rougery.
