Dancers of TRAVELLING.

One of the best stories told about
Artemus Ward concerns a journey
which the humorist took on little
"one-horse" railroad line in the Mid
die West. After the train had crept
from station to station at snails
pace for half day, Ward beckoned to
the conductor as he passed through
the car.
Say, conductor" he drawled, do
you mind if give you little adv;ce?"
We'll. what is it," said the conduc-
tor pruffly.
Seems to me-" continued Ward, at
would be safer to take the cowcatcher
OF the engine and hitch it to the end
of the rear car"
What for?" demanded the conduc-
tor.
We'll, I've been thinking it over"
said Ward, "and / don't see what's to
prevent one of them COWS out there
from coming into the car and biting
tie passengers "-Harper's Weekly.

VICTORIA AND NIAGARA.
There is No Possibility of Compari
son Between the Two.

SUI OclWSSH the TWO.
1t was on the 22d of November 1855,
that the friendly natives with whom
he was travelling brought DR.. David
Livingstone for the first time within
sight and sound of the wonderful cat
aract on the Zambesi River now
known as the Victoria Falls. Before
finding it, the good missionary had
journeyed for nearly two years, and
from his point of departure at Klru-
man, in Cape Colony, had travelled
quite 1000 miles of hitherto unknown
country.
Today one takes the train at Cape
Town on Wednesday, passes through
Kimberley on Thursday, reaches Blu
luwayo on Saturday, and late in the
afternoon of Sunday begins to see
in the distance the rising pillar of
mist from the great cataract
The natives call it "Mosi-oa-tuni,"
meaning "the roaring smoke" Tween
ty miles away the spray thrown back
from the depths of the tremendous
cavern into which the river tumbles
appears like a column of smoke from
a burning village, and during the last
mile of the railway journey the roar
of the falling water becomes notice
able. Finally, when the edge of the
chasm is reached, If the river is in
flood, the eye and ear are assailed by
a combination of phenomena that
probably cannot be duplicated as
marvels anywhere else on the planet.
The first question that is asked of
an American who has seen this Afli-
can wonder generally is, How does
it compare with Niagara ?" There is
no possibility Of comparison. The
two are as different as day and night.
Niagara is a perfect picture in love-
ly natural framework. Every point
and line and curve of motionless
trembling verdure and gliding water
is touch of majestic beauty Vic
toria is simply phenomenon, ter
rife cash in the floor of an. appar-
emily unending plain, which, as one
gazes, simply swallows a river in a
manner that produces almost a thrill
of horror.-From Theodore F. Van
Wagenen's THE Victoria Falls" in

Whispering She Would Meier Consent


If the crinoline comes, the most
courageous of women will have to
wear it. She will begin by declaring
that nothing will induce her to adopt
SO meaningless and so hideous fash
ion; and for several weeks, no doubt,
the knowledge that she possesses
greater courage than other persons
will sustain her as the bathrooms and
reception roms become every day
more crowded with silk-covered cages
and Venetian-blind cCtriyances for the
nice disposition of steel-ribbed skirts.

fashionable prettiness.- 1t is I'M

Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail. and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fdence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of Alp North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes !:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
cover a year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as / had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. l am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,

free and always helpful.

COMPLETE ISOLATION THE ONLY
MEANS OF ESCAPE.

Again take up my pen to tell you
OF the ravages of the yellow fever
that terrible scourge Of the south-in
a by-gone age. I we'll remember its
devastations in the small town of
Woodville in 1884, The disease was
imported there by Methodist minis
ter, coming from an infected town in
Texas. The trunks of the family
contained woolen clothing, in which
were the germs. Three hundred peo-
pie perished in the town and vicinity.
Bagging, coffee, straw in which bot
ties and jugs are packed, even silk
dresses are first class vehicles for prop.
agating yellow fever. I have passed
through many epidemics of this fright
full disease. 1t can be avoided only by
complete isolation. In these many
years | knew the beautiful daughter
OF wealthy sugar planter-a near
neighbor-to die from trying on a
silk dress sent from New Orleans be-
fore twas known that the fever exist
ed there. Again knew many cases
from exhuming body lying dead for
months. Houses, in which had been
fever shut up till January, on being
opened by those subject to it have
been fatal to many. On no account
should mails not fumigated be broug ht
from yellow fever districts. Only those
who live in complete seclusion far from
contagion, receiving no mails or any
thing else from the out side world
have any guarantee to exemption from
the horrors Of the fever. Though twas
several times on the plantation where
I resided, my husband, my children
and I escaped by religiously observ-
ing the rules I give you. The old
French creole in New Orleans under

others in this country, they give little
medicine, plenty of hot orange leaf

DR.. John Berry of this city has
received copy Of the Lawton, Okla. J,
Constitution which contains an ac-
count Of the death of Orma Damon
Berry, the eleven year old son of his
brother, Judge W. d. Berry of Ver-
non, Texas. Mr.. Berry was en- route
from his home in Texas to Eureka
Springs, Ark, for the benefit of his
wife's health and they left their son
with his uncle Judge Fain and his
wife at Lawton.
The boy was apparently lin perfect
health, but the second day after his
arrival was taken with what was con-
sidered a slight illness. Next day he
grew worse and several physicians
were called in. They decided the
little fellow had appendicitis and
could not live six hours without an
operation. The appendix was found
to be gangrenous and he had already
ruptured into the abdomen. He
died next morning.
Mr.. Berry is now attorney for the
