OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study to the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills -Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to cor
troll that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing-down pains.
scalding or burning sensations or de-
posits in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling of hands and feet, swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back, running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.
Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect
Plains, N. j., writes:

OF National Disrepute-

OF National Disrepute-
Mr.. o. A. Hamilton, a CRATER of some
note and a liar with a national reputa-
ton, has embarked in a newspaper ven
ture at Cora, Wyo., presumably with
the view of holding someone up and in
cidentally getting even with the gentle
men who were responsible for his re-
moval from the position Of superintend-
ent of water division No. 4. We agree
with Mr.. Hamilton that his record
ought to have entitled him to different
treatment. We think that at the very
least he should have been given the
job of keeping books at the Rawlins
penitentiary. While 1t is true that
there Is no salary attached to this re-
sponsible position, the hours are not
long and board and lodging is furnish
ed by the state, and it would be one
place where Mr.. Hamilton would not be
assured of a speedy removal-Chey

MAY Be PORTIONS
OF A LOST GOSPEL
SCRAP OF VELLuM BELIEVED TO
sURPAsS IN ECCLESIASTICAL
INTEREST THE LoGIA.
Found During Continued Research of
Ruins of City n May Prove to Be
Portion of Gospel Not Hitherto
Known to Exist-Christ's Denunci-
alton Of Pharisees.

London, May 16.-Drs. Grenfel and
Hart, during continued researches of
the ruins of oxyrhyncus, whose ancient
monasteries some years ago yielded
the famous Logia of Christ, found a
fragment of a supposed lost gospel,
which is now in Queens college, Ok
ford.
1t is a tiny scrap of vellum, perfor-
ated by worms and yellowed by sixteen
centuries, but the writing is perfectly
llegible. 1t is written in Greek char
%acters, which are almost microscopical-
ly minute. with scarlet initials. There
are about 300 words.
A New Gospel.
1t is certainly no part of any eXtant
gospel, but its theological value must
be left to the t~heologians. 1t is unus-
ually well written from a literary view
point. 1t begins the middle of a
speech. Jesus and His disciples enter
ed the temple and met a Pharisee, who
rebukes them for emitting some cere'
monial of ablution.
Jesus asks the Pharisee what the lat,
ter has done to comply with the cere-
monial. The Pharisee's reply minute
ly describes the process of publication
of which no previous authority has Civ.
en- the details.
Denounces the Pharisee.
Then follows a powerful, eloquent de,
nunciation by Jesus Of mere outward
publication, He saying that He and His
disciples have been purified by the wat
ers of life. There is also a mention OF
a hitherto unknown part of the temple
called the Hegneuterian or place OF
publication.
Theological circles are greatly inter
ested in the discovery, which promises
a sensation equal to that created by
the Logia of Christ.

PATHS APPEARANCE IN 1859.

Her First Role in opera Was Played
in That Year With Success.
The season oil 1859 was remarkable
for the first appearance in opera o
Adelina Pitt. This new and youthful
prima donna. the youngest daughter
of Catalina Barili, under the direction
of her kinsman and master, Maurice
Strakosch, came forward at the New
York Academy of Music Nov. "a in
the title role of Lucia di Lammer-
moor" She was then but 16 years
old, but had already learned to man
age her voice, a iutelike, flexible So
prano, with extraordinary skill and
taste, and capable critics at once rec
ognized in the debutante zone of those
rare singers who appear at long in
tervals on the musical horizon. to re-
vive not only the hopes of managers
but the enthusiasm of the public.
This PREDICTION had quick fulfllment.
After a short initial engagement IN
Philadelphia Mile. Patti, plotted by
Strakosch, embarked on a concert
tour which ended at New Orleans,
whence she sailed for London, where
she may be said to have fairly begun
n career which, like her art, must long
remain in lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward of forty years she held first
place, and during the greater part OF
that time she was not only a sweeter
but a better singer than any other wo-
man in the world. Her name lends a
golden ending to any record of the
early days of opera in America.-Lip-
%pincott's.

Ornitholooy VS.. Finance.

A certain Pittsburg millionaire visit
ed Philadelphia not long ago, and his
business leading him to the splendid
Academy of the Natural Sciences, he
found himself in and out among the
cases of stuffed birds. There are
thousands of lifelike feathered crea.
lures gathered there, and the collec.
ton is considered one Of the finest in
America. The custodian could not
help praising it all with excusable
warmth.
i've never figured it out" said he,
at last, but it is safe to say, at a
guess, that these stuffed birds are
worth not less than 5000, 600"
"Heavensi" exclaimed the mar o.
money, "is it possible? What are they
stuffed with ?"-Harper's Weekly.

OR MALICE.

Recently a paper has been started
at the town of Cora ostensibiy for the
purpose of boosting the q. o. D., but
actually for the sole object of malign.
ing the enemies OF the editor, o. A
Hamilton. In referring to an article
in the second issue of the paper, the
Cheyenne Tribune says:
In the current issue of the Cora Sen
tinel, edited by o. A. Hamilton, is an
attack upon the motives of State Engi-
neer Johnston and Governor Brooks
for their connection with the proposed
establishment of a comprehensive irri-
cation system in the Shoshone reser,
walton.
the plan is the most gigantic fraud
ever practiced in wyoming, that the
governor and state engineer are the
tools of conspirators to rob the incom,
ing settler and that fabulous prices
will be demanded for water for the
reservation lands. An OF these state
ments are utterly false, as Mr.. Hamil,
ton must know them to be and as all
citizens of the state who read the news,
papers will recognize them to be, as
the entire plan has been repeatedly
published and discussed by the press
OF the state.
1T is not because the governor or
the state engineer need to be defend,
ed that the Tribune notices the at
tack of Mr.. Hamilton, which appears
to be actuated by personal animosity
rather than any desire to right a wrong.
In the same issue in which the at.
tack is made, 1t is stated in the Sen.
