This type was introduced from Rus

the common wheat and thus extend

The result of the New York election,

is obvious. that his managers have
from the outset shrewdly calculated to

1t may well be assumed that for his

baser passions, unreasoning discon-

to his further agitation.

such symptoms as backache, irregular

the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is lydia

diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infam-
nation OF the female organs weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
thelr pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.

PROFESSOR A HUMAN MAGNET.
Able to Defect Compass by Simply
Touching Cover.

Halle, last year demonstrated that he
is able to defect the magnetic needle
by stroking quite lightly with his fin.

structed compass. He found great
differences in himself according to the
time of day, whether he had pre-
viously rested or worked, talked OF
taken food. When the stomach was
empty or when he had talked much.
for instance, the experiment did not
succeed; If he had eaten and drunk,
1t usually went very well. But among
many other persons he found only
very few who like him could perform
the experiment. He himself could
occasionally bring the needle to a de-.
Election by simply touching the COM
pass lid. He discovered also that the
keys which he had carried for some
time in his pocket and his keyring
had become decidedly magnetic. On
his pocketknife the blade which he
regularly used, the nail file, as well
as pins that he frequently stuck into
his coat, had taken on the same prop,
