Things 10 Forget.

If you would increase your happi-
piness and prolong life, forget your
neighbor's faults. Forget the ISLANDERS
you have heard. Forget the tempts.
tions Forget the fault finding and
give little thought to the cause that
provoked it. Forget the peculiarities
of your friends, and only remember
the good points which make you fond
of them. Forget all personal quar-.
rels or histories you may have heard
by accident, and which if repeated
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out the memory,
as far as possible, all the disagreeabls
occurrences Of life; they will come,
but they will grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thought Of the acts Of meanness, or,
worse still, malice, will only tend to
make you more familiar with them.
Obllterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday start out with clean
sheet for today, and write upon it for
sweet memory's sake only those things
which are lovely and lovable.

Turning the Tables.

A Kentucky lawyer was standing
on the steps Of the CovingtOu post
office the other day when an old col.
ored man came up, and, touching his
hat, asked
kin you tell me, is dis de place
where dey sell postage stamps p
Yes. sir; this is the pace, re-
piled the lawyer, seeing chance for
little quiet fun; but what do you
want with postage stamps, uncle
ITO mail letter, san; 4; OF course 2"
"Well, then, you needn't bother
about any stamps you don't have to
put any on this week.
Il don't?'
No, cir"
"Why-for not2'
We'll, you see, the conglomeration
of the hypotenuse has differentiated
the parallelogram SO much that the
cons4uguinity d.n't emulgate the or.
dinsry effervescences and so the gov
ernment has decide to send letters
free"
The old man took off his hat, dub
iously shook his head, and then, with
long breath, remarked:
"Well, boss, all that may be true,
an l don't say it amt, but just
s'posen dat de eckcentricity Of de ag-
gregation transubstantuates de igno-
miniousness of de puppendickler and

some stamps on anyhow, fer luck
And the old man passed solemnly
down the street.

Nine Million PlOwS at Work.

It's plowing time. Two hundred
million acres of land will be plowed
this year in the United States and
about 100000 plows are on the
farms to do the work. The capital
invested in plows alone represents
$SO,000,000. Such a multitude Of
types OF plows and plowers can be
found on this old continent that we
can but name few. In the great
southwest the Mohave with his three
or four squaws starts for the planting
ground. Each woman carried her
digging stick, the most primitive of
fall plows, and the man stands guard
all day while the Original farmers
of the country dig the land aud plant
their gourd seeds In Canada but
for the interference OF the government
we might see the Doukhabor woman
drawing the plow in exactly the same
way that they have done for centu-
ries. In New England the oxen are
being yoked, and in the middle west
the four-horse teams are ready. In
the south the negro qits on bis plow
hilt to watch the train 90 by.
In o her parts Of the country We
find traction engines at work. blowing
forty or more acres day and re-
quiring but two or three men to do it.

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
lydia E. PiNkhaErs's
Vegetable COMPOUND

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative. but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs. positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country bywomen who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Piukham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. c. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
''It gives me great pleasure to say that I
have found Lydia +. Finkham's Vegetable
Compound very efiicacious, and often pre-
scribe it in my practice for female difficulties.
MY oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial fora femaletrouble some time ago. andmy
youngest daughter is now taking it for fe-
male weakness and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
Il freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-
cific i'll all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give it honest endorsement
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating tor
fatulencyl, weakness of organs, dis
placements. inflammation orulceration,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia f. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of a
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousands to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice If she
wants to be strong and well.
