his friends of his profound knowledge
of the language and customs of Russia.

that he knows Russian" there are few

him. So the friends of the man in ques-

Last summer. however some one had
learned of a meeting between the boast

question was Immediately put to the
Muscovite whether the American had

was asked whether So-and-So was real

bassador smilingly replied:

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Dr. Williams Pink Pills


Women at forty, or whereabouts, have
their future in their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such q tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. @. Wedding, of Hartford. KY,
writes AS follows concerning the diff
eulties which afflicted her:
II was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months i'll all,
during two years. l had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming III my head and nervous
troubles
II was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
TO do me any good. After suffering for
two years L learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and l decided that / would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
/ began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued III the best of
health. / have recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count of what they did for me, and fee;
that l cannot praise them too str ,ngly. "
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested in the cure of Mrs We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women" which is free on request.
All druggists sell DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, OH receipt of price, so cents per box,
six boxes for So. so, by the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, NY.

PROGRESS OF ESPERANTO.

Eighty Thousand Persons Have Now
Mastered international Language.
The London Chamber of Commerce
has put Esperanto among the subjects
for examination In its educational de-
partment This international language,
successor of the unlamented Volapuk,
was introduced to the world by DR..
Zamenhof, doctor in Warsaw, Poland,
in 1887. His pamphlet. AN Interna-
tional Language. by DIR. Esperanto"
published in that year, lay dormant for
some ten years. 1t Is said that $4,000
persons can now read or write Esper-
anto, and there are some forty journals
and magazines and some 200 societies
or 'centers" for propagating ii.
About half Of the roots in Esperanto
are Of Latin origin, % per cent of
English and % per cent OF German.
There is no English q, W, or Y in the
language. There are no silent letters.
The accent is always on the syllable
next to the last. At present, says
Everybody's Magazine, Esperanto con-
sists of about 1000 roots and from
1000 to 5000 words. DIR. Zamenhof
holds that by the use of some thirty
prefxes ard sufiixes, 900 root words
are enough. It's grammar ought to be
learned in an hour by anybody who
knows one of the Latin languages
There are no irregular verbs blessed
be EsperantoD. The plural ends in
y, nouns in o, adjectives in a. "Ino"
"patro," father '.patrino," mother. Will
Esperanto go the way Of vOlapuk or
will 1t prosper?

OSTRICH FARMS IN AMER. CA.
Industry Now Said to BE Making
Profit and Progress


Ostrich farming in the United States.
although only in its infancy, is profit
able industry IN southern and western
parts Of the country, and in the twenty
three years since the first American os-
trich farm was started the number of
ostriches has increased to 1900, accord
ing to the New York Tribune. For sew
eral years the breeding of birds was,
of course experimental. and it is only
in the last six years that great prog
ress has been made. About two-thirds
of the birds are in Arizona. the remain
der being in Arkansas, Florida and Cal
ifornia They can be grown in any of
the Southern States of this country, but
thrive best in a dry, warm climate.
In the incubation of the eggs the male
takes a prominent part, covering the
eggs fifteen or sixteen hours out of the
twenty-four. He will usually go on the
nest about five o'clock in the evening
and remain there until 8 or s 80 o'clock
in the morning. 1t is thought that the
color Of the sexes has something to do
with the development of this practice.
The male. being black, is not so easily
seen at night. and the female, being
nearly the color of sand, cannot be
readily seen by daylight. The period
OF incubation is about forty-two days.
Artificial incubation has also been sue
cessfully carried on.
The usual way TO inclose an ostrich
farm, says Watson Pickrell in the Year
Book of the Department of Agriculture,
is to use a woven-wire fence about five
and a half feet high, with meshes small
enough TO keep out wolves and dogs.
After ostriches are more than one year
old no one should go among them with
out a brush or stick in his hand, as
he is liable to injury unless he has
away. One of the best feeds for the
ostrich is alfalfa, although the bird may
be fed any kind of grain. African writ
ers assert that ostriches will live for
years without water. bat American
farmers find that they VIII drink water
freely every day if it is given to them.
While the value of the ostrich as a
domestic animal depends upon its pro-
duction of feathers for ornamental pur-
poses, its flesh is said TO have been
much relished by those who have eaten
1t. The eggs are excellent for making
omelets, and one will make as much
omelet as two and half dozen hens
eggs. A full-grown bird is worth S40O
or more. but few of them are for sale
at any price.

Mystery I'm Death of Boy and woman
in Indianapolis Hotel.
Lying dead in a bed at the Hotel ~.
james in Indianapolis, the bodies OF Mrs.
Mary Williams and Samuel Jones, an
1S-year-old boy, were found when the
door of their room was broken open by
Charles Shepp, proprietor of the place.
Death had been caused hours before by
asphyxiation. y gas jet in the room was
wide open, and the atmosphere filled with
the escaping gas. That the death OF the
couple was the ending of clandestine
love affair has apparently been established
by letters found in the pockets of the
young man. That he premedltated SUI
eide and at the same time the murder or
the woman, however, is theory which
cannot be verified.

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using and gives
it a sun bath TO sweeten 1t. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSSes which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that IL this stomach-churn Is foul it
makes foul all which is put into itp
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In The mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
fnation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
Ii you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,

and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks. gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
