Al-s. III. Mr. Oh

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is
kind Of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement OF the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe.
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound afcer every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degonerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. !
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that [ ate
tasted good ard it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help ME. I was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in q
fewdays l began to enjoy and properly d1geSt
my food. Ny recovery was rapid, and In
five weeks I was well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquai-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, as hasLydis

FIREBRAND OF PRINCETON.


In revolutionary times American COL
leges, which we are apt to regard as
little schools of narrow theology, were
really centers of light on practical
questions. Princeton played an i'm
p0rtant part in the Revolution, not be-
cause battle was fought near the old
Nassau building, but because the presi-
dent, John WitherspOOn, was YigOr-
Gus liberal thinker.
He was the only clergyman in the
Congress which signed the Declaration
of Independence. Scotsman by birth,
he had come to America when he was
forty-six years old. It did not take
him long to throw his whole sympathy
with the American people. He said
himself:
"a man will become an American by
residing in the country three months"
His writings on religious subjects
were known on both continents, and
when he turned his direct and powerful
pen to American affairs, he became one
Of the most powerful pleaders Of the
American cause. He knew the use of
vituperation, but most of his pamph-
lets are free from the abusive manner
OF Thomas Paine, and approach the in
telligence and fair-mindedness of
Burke.
"There is not the least reason yet"
he writes in 1874, ito think that the
king, the parliament, or even the peo-
pie of Great Britain, have been able to
enter into the great principles Of uni
versal liberty, or are willing to hear
the discussion of the point Of right
without prejudice
No wonder that Massachusetts Con-
gressmen on their way to Philadelphia,
after they had been reviled and hoOted
In New York and several New Jersey
towns, found Princeton an oasis in the
desert; and no wonder the Tories call
ed Witherspoon a dangerous frebrand,
and honored him by burning his effigy
with those Of Washington, Lee and
Putnam

Do sniders Like NIustcs

It has often been said that spiders
are fond OF music, but a French inves-
tigator, III. LecaillOu, now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed mere
Iy to greed or to hunger. When a fly
is caught in a spiders web it buzzes,
and the spider Immediately makes for
the place from which the buzzing
comes. M. Lecaillou, by experimenting
with a violin, some flies, a piano, VIC
loncello and a cornet, found that only
those musical sounds which resemble
the buzzing of the flies attracted the
spiders. The cOrnet, for instance, in
variably frightened it, and so did the
piano.

THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE.

Science VIII Manufacture 1t With
out Natures Usual Process.
A few years ago Prof. Berthelot, of
Paris, stated that at the present rate
of progress, in the year 1000 coal,
wood. peat, etc, will be displaced rs
fuel by new and most powerful sources
Of mechanical energy. He further as
serted that large portion of our food
products would be directly manufac-
tured through the advance Of synthetic
chemistry, from the constituent ele-
nents, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and
.itrogen.
Our milk, eggs and flour will event
nally be made in factories. Already
eggs have been manufactured by artif-
cial means.
AliZarin is q compound manufactured
by chemists, by means of which q great
agricultural industry was destroyed.
tlizarin is the principal Of The madden
root, from which were extracted the
juices necessary for dyeing cloth and
different materials. The madden root
was grown to an enormous extent in
Persia, India and the Levant. From
there it spread to Spain, Holland and
the Rhine provinces. 1t was used very
largely in continental Europe, and 30
years ago its annual importation into
England was to the amount of $780,
600. BY the new and synthetic process
of manufacture aliZarin has displaced
and sUpplanted the natural product
so that the madden fields in Europe
have ceased to exist.
Again, pure indigo as a product has
been manufactured direct from its eIe-
ments, and the natural product will
soon give up the ghost.
Theme and caffeine are obtained
from different sources, yet as tea and
coffee they are chemically identical in
construction. Theobromine is the es-
sential principle of cocoa, and cocoa
has already been reproduced in the Ia
boratOry. The pure nicotine of the
tobacco has been obtained by Prof.
Berthelot through the treatment of
salomine, natural glucis0de, with ny
drOgen Tobacco is but so much vege-
table fibre in which nicotine is largely
stored. So, if all signs fail not, the tea
plants, the coffee shrubs, the tobacco
plants and the cocoa trees will soon fol-
low the madden root into limbo.
Vanilla, with which ice cream Is
largely favored, is the product of the
vanilla or tOnka bean. Many of our
chocolate and confectionery manufac-
tories are now using a system by means
of which vanillin can be produced
from artificial vanillin by the chemical
process much more cheaply and effec-
lively than by the old system. Conse-
quently natural vanilla is now being
driven from the markets. VaniIlin in
chemical construction is very nearly al
lied to the aromatic, the distinctive
principle of cloves and allspice.
Flower perfumes, colOgnes, rose wa
! ter, vegetable odors and scents of me-
dicinal value will soon be chemically
| manufactured. Meadow street has al
ready been largely compounded and
sold

SMALLPOX IN PHILIPPINES.

Disease Almost Entirely Eradfcated
by Vaccination.
The records of the bureau of health
at Manila show that within the last
twelve months $4,000 people have been
vaccinated by officials and many more
by private physicians. When it is re-
membered that Manila's population is
not more than 100000, it can be under
stood why, in the year ended Dec. 81,
deaths from smallpox Ten Of the
twenty-seven were Europeans or Amer
leans who had neglected or avoided
vaccination, says the New York Trib-
une.
During the Spanish regime a law ex-
listed making vaccination compulsory,
but the chief good which resulted from
the law was that the people became ac-
cuStOmed to its existence on the statute
| books and did not greatly object to it
or strenOusly resist it's application at
the hands of the Americans. In a few
provinces difficulties were met. In
these cases vaccinators were at once
withdrawn and the pueblOs left to
themselves. Within six months the con-
trast between the vaccinated and I'M
vaccinated pueblos was so marked that
the chief men Of the objecting munich
palities requested the vaccinators to
return.
AS smallpox Is epidemic and pan
demic in the Philippines, the necessity
| for a division of vaccination in the
| board of health is very great. The or
iginal plan was to organize a corps Of
$50 vaccinators. That number was con-
sidered necessary in order to vaccinate
the inhabitants of the islands within
| three years. Owing to the depleted con-
dition Of the insular treasury, the com
mission has been unable to authorize
the employment of so large a number,
and with the small number Of men
| available the question arises whether
vaccination will not have to be prac-
ticed continuously for many years in or
der to immunize the 100000 inhabit-
ants who are now in those islands and
| their offspring as it arrives.
Smallpox in the Philippines occupied,
| prior to the advent Of the Americans,
about the same position in regard to its
| frequency, It's mortality and It's preva-
lence that 1t did In Europe prior to the
discovery of vaccination, and as was
the case In Europe, so in the Philip
| pines, it seems to be almost a disease
OF childhood. The explanation Of this
Is that all natives who have reached
adult age were exposed to smallpox In
childhood and those who did not con-
tract the disease may be considered i'm
mune. Smallpox in Manila is no longer
to be feared, according to the annual re
port of the bureau Of health for the
Philippine islands, and not so many
cases occur In proportion to its inhab-
itants as in the cities Of Washington
| and Baltimore.

The traditional American way, the

abuses, evils, injustices, is to remedy
them by better laws, by better methods

revolutionary change. 1t is sometimes
exasperatingly slow. 1t requires pa

The Corn Song.

The Corn Song.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard
Heap high the golden corn
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestOw,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales of grass and meads of flow
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days of June
It's leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon
It's soft and yellow hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit ewes
It's harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.
There, when the SHOWS about us Drift,
And winter winds are cold,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sitt,
And knead its meal Of gold.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let miIdew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit
The wheat field to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.
John G. Whittier.

The leaves above were stirr'd,

adopted to assist the escape of runaway
slaves from the Southern to the North

she caught her companion by the arm
and stood rooted in the middle Of the

horrible than a cold blooded murder
