THE LOST ARTS.

Many Abandoned Because New
Knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Not as much as we used to, but oc-
casionally even yet, one hears Of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago It was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths Of Egypt and the
writer has heard a public speaker Of
note assert that it would be impossible
to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used In the
pyramids or to join them as perfectly
as they are Joined there. Yet, when oc.
casion arose, larger stones than any Of
the larger monoliths themselves were
transported not only to the sea, but
across It, and erected in England,
France and America, and there are In
dividuals today who might, If they
chose, cause the transportation to and
erection in this country Of the largest
pyramids or build new ones ten times
larger and more durable. Pyramids
are not being generally built nowadays
because they are not in line with the
trend Of modern ambition; that's all.
It is very doubtful If Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe
usage as modern band saw blade or
even as much as the spring Of a forty
cent clock, while the ornamentations
Of those wondrous blades, so far as the
mechanical execution is concerned, can
be excelled by apprentices and anna
teurs Of today.
OF the "lost art of hardening cop
per little is heard Of late years. though
one occasionally hears wiseling from
the wilds wish that he knew how to do
it as well as the ancients, and while it
is Perhaps regrettable that he doesn't
his ignorance is his own fault
Many arts and devices have been
abandoned because new knowledge
has made them useless, and time spent
In rediscovering them would be worse
than wasted. The modern youth had
much better spend his time studying
the art of his contemporaries than that
which is "lost."-Scientific American.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that It
Really Does Make Sick Women Well.

Thousands upon thousands OF Amerl-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished such
widespread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done it's glorious work for a quarter OF
a century?
Simply and surely because Of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power Of Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is astimulant-not because it is
palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the female system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia e. Pinkham's 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 acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect cure.
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache,
bloating Tor fatulence), weakness, dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
that bearing-down' feeling, dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
GUS consequences. and be restored to
health and strength by taking Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Any
way write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,

Grove, Kills Himself in Dakota.
Sioux Falls, April 2O.-The county
coroner, L ID. Miller, has just returned
fran Hartford, the first station west,
with the body of a man supposed to be
George E. Charles. who took his own
life there by shooting himself in the
forehead with a 3S-calibre revolver.
The act was committed at an early
hour in his room in the hotel.
Mystery surrounds the motive of the
suicide, and there is no known reason
for the deed, as the man appeared to
be in good health and $143 in cash was
found on his person. He first attempted
suicide by stepping on the railway
tracks in front of rapidly moving
passenger train, but at the last moment
lost his nerve and stepped from the
track when the train was within but
few feet of him. He then returned
to his hotel, and some hours later fired
the bullet into his brain.
The dead man was about 25 wears
of age and is supposed to have come
from Ida Grove, Ia. Relatives there
have been notified of his tragic end.
Known in Ida Grove.

PAINTING SPELLS
CAUSED BY WEAK CONDITION
OF THE BLOOD.
Cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, the
Remedy Which Actually Makes
New Blood.

impoverished blood is the cause of
many troubles that are not recognized
as arising from it. Impoverishment of
the blood may originate from over
study, lack of exercise, anxiety or wor-
Ty, or it may follow an acute disease
such as fever, or even result from a
cold. Physicians term impoverished
blood "anaemia," which is a Greek
word, meaning too little blood"
Anaemia makes the patient short of
of suffocation, sometimes there is "a
cough, and the sufferer seems to be
going into consumption. at others there
is a murmur of the heart and heart
disease is feared. In the following case
severe fainting spells were an alarm
ing symptom resulting from too little
blood
Mrs. George Forester, of Curtis
street, Watertowns n. Y, says: Some
time ago took a heavy cold and it left
me in very weak condition. l be-
came worse and worse until finally l
had anaemia. / lost flesh and appetite,
had no color and was subject to faint
ing spells. Sometimes they would at
tack me suddenly and I would fall to
the floor with hardly any warning.

but after he had been attending me
about month without any improve
ment in my condition, I decided to see
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills would do

OF my family had taken them with the
hest results. I soon found that the
Mills were just what l needed for $"
hogan to notice an Improvement After
/ had taken them while longer ! was
entirely cured, and we all believe IN
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills and recon-
4 mend them highly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Forester because they actually make
new blood They do that one thing ana
they do it we'll. Impoverished blooi IS
deficient in red corpuscles, little bodies
8 in the blood only to be seen thru the
\ microscope, which carry nourlshneat
to all parts Of the body. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills increase the number of these
red corpuscles and in this way send
/ health and strength to every tissue.
s Medical authorities are agreed that the
health Of the nervous system depends
directly upon the red corpuscles in the
/ blood and in this way DR.. Williams

are forgeries, not even cleverly exc
cuted.
There are two notes for $1,000 each
by the Property Mutual Insurance
Association, one note for $1,000 by the

pany, and two notes for $500 for the
same company. All of these notes
