Walking On the Water.

Walking on the water no longer is
a miracle but a science. An in
ventor is claiming the attention of
the wise wings in connection with a
kind of aquatic shoe. Jose Antonio,~ a
Mexican student in a mechanical
engineering college, gave successful
test of device by walking mile and
a half on the surface of Cayaga lake,
N. Y. The shoes closely resemble small
boats and are made of tin and measure
5 feet inches in length, IA inches in
width and 92 inches in depth. Each
contains four separate air chambers
besides the compartment of the foot.
The shoes are equipped with collaps-
ible fans which close as the wearer
steps forward and then open to pre-
vent the shoes from, slipping back.

HON. A. +. LEVER
CONFIDENT
Does Not Think DantzIer Will Put Up
Stiff Fiqht For His Seat This Year.

Congressman Lever, who was in the
city yesterday, does not anticipate any
trouble this year with his Republican
opponent, Alexander Dantzler. Mr..
Lever said that the Republican in
terest in the affair was less than it had
been for years; which was fortunate
for the Democrats in this district, as
they were decidedly apthetic despite
the repeated warnings and appeals of
the newspapers
However, to be, on the safe side,
Mr.. Lever had a number of friends at
the polls in various sections of his dis
trict, especially in, Orangeburg, to
give testimony should it be said af-
forwards that there was any intimi-
dation of Republican voters.

Mrs. iii. Wriqhf

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 stomach tonic,
but has a 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 after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend TO my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. / was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in a
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food Ny recovery was RAPID, and IN
five weeks was well woman. / have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
ofcures of female troubles, as hasLydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

a tendency to heighten the walls. a
small room appears larger II the walls

perfectly plain paper.
Plain paper. preferably in a duh red
or terra-cotta tone shows up pictures

A yellow paper brightens a dark room.
or one that has a north aspect, and helps
to make il less gloomy and depress-

by white paint makes a delightfully."- cool
and soothing wall covering for sunny

A lofty room with a perfectly plain or
self-COlOred paper is improved by a dadc
in contrasting or harmonizlng tones
placed at the top, beneath the ceiling
moulding.
Papered ceilings are more effective
than whitewashed ones, and a ceiling
treated in this way makes a room ap-
pear more lofty.
