Decline of Trade Secreta.

From the Lincoln CNeb.) State Journal )
 The day of trade secrets and monopoly privilege Is ending. At every trade con vention, at every craft gathering at ev- cry professional association, new discoy- cries in principal and new methods of practice are offered free to those en- gagged as competitors in the same busi- ness. It Is recognized that no man Is able to think a thing through to its ul- innate application. His suggestion is in- stantly seized upon by others and comes back to him and to society vastly im- proved. If this is true of mechanical and professional invention 1t must be true to business improvement. The methods by which a great business is organized. the plans by which It's capitalization is se- cured. It's relations to other organiza- tions and individuals, on any just theory of progress deserve to be known. Every individual and every institution gets a great deal more out of society than 1t gives. This Is particularly true of in- stltutions specially chartered by society. Trade secrets are out of date.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and 1t is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children we'll dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such woman is never done" and is it any wonder few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or alteration of the abdominal organs, . female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine 8 woman needs whose strength Is over taxed. It keeps tho feminine organs In @ strong and healthy conditioA. In preparing for childbirth and re- cuperating therefrom it is most eff eient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother.
 Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa, writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
 II suffered severely with pain every month and also pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no rood; friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound and 1 wrote you in regard to my condition. followed your advice and am perfectly we'll woman.

Islands as Cable Breaking Points.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Contrary to common impressions, very weak current Is used in transmitting oceanic messages And the receiving op- erator instead of listening to clicks, as in land telegraphy, watches the play of q spot of light on screen. The greater the distance traversed the slower the message travels on account of the cumu- lative resistance of the wire. For this reason a mldocean island is valua ble landing place, enabling the use of two shorter cables instead of one continuous one It is interesting to note how re- mote islands all over the marine seas have thus been utilized as cable break ing points.
 Two ocean cables cross the Pacific. One, a British line, connects Victoria with Hongkong, and by alternate cable and telegraph connections over Asia and Asiatic waters the European and Atlantic lines arebreaohed, completely girding the earth with electric communication. The other Pacific cable, owned by an Ameri- can company, passes from San Francisco 10 Honolulu, thence to Midway island. thence to Guam, thence to Manila. From Manila cable dhe one Dewey cub reaches fs-ngkong and furnishes tee- graphic access over foreign lines to Eu- rope and the Atlantic field.

 It was too much for Powell. The sus pense of the past weeks, the apparent annihllaton of his plans, and now this
 wonderful and unexpected good fortune broke him down. He buried his face In his hands, and great sobs tore at his throat Fremont toyed nervously with a paper weight for while, and then tip toed from the room, awkward and em- | barrassed. When he ventured back Powell
 had mastered himself
 q don't know what to say" began
 Powell "Tm-Im floored by it. Of course | I'm thankful-you cannot tell how much l but I want to get home to my wife. I'm worried about her.
 'I'l only detain you for n moment MT. ! Powell" and Fremont handed him a slip | of paper. Take this home to your wife with my compliments-and yours"
 Powell was dumfounded. It was a check for 5000.
 "The amount is not really due until we get the machine up and running" Tre- | mont explained, ''but under the circum- stances I'm glad to be able to pay you a day or so in advance. I will mail you checks for the others as they are set up. Royalties will be paid you quarterly as per contract. Allow me to congratulate you" and he cordially extended his hand. Powell went out in an increduloous ec- stacy. There was no bar now to his hap piness. Even his conscience as a good union man was clear by reason of the contract that had been made long before the strike was planned, and that was now out of his power to revoke, even if he would.
 The barren and yellow street seemed of an interminable length before he reached his own gate, raced around the house and dashd into the kitchen His wife was not there. With quick intuition he hurried Into the front room and there he found her!
 With closed eyes she was lying on the Ned, her pitiful treasures clutched to her bosom, and she was breathing heavily.
 'Bess!" he cried. We win, and no rich, girl! Fremont has just paid me for the first six machines. He had them made without my knowing 1t, and they work great Bess! Bess, dear! We're riohl
 He was down on his knees besides her now. and had slipped his arm under her head. Her eyes opened, glarlng in terror.
 "Too late, too latev she moaned. "Oh, Jim, it's too late l was a coward. Jim, and selfish, and l couldn't wait any long CT. l drank poison not five minutes ago! Save me, Jim, save mel l don't want to die, Oh, ] don't want to diei'
 "Oh, fudge,' he retorted, laughing hap pily. "I monkeyed with that little bottle long time ago. l was afraid that If took it away you would get another one, so l emptied 1t and filled it with water.

l carnations she had worn. all came back | to her now. That was the way life should always have been. That was what she | had expected when she had married Pow ell. She had loved him then. She loved | him still but love was such a feeble warmth for the freezing winter of pow | erty-and such sordld povityl And she | was so weak. So weak.

 She put the bottle to her lips and drained
 It.
 ; Powell, still dazed, was led by Under ! wood across the swarming yards to the office where Fremont awaited him. Powell mechanically put his hand to his | face and drew 1t away bloodstained. The l cut on his cheek was still bleeding a lit- 1 tie, though 1t had been carefully bathed | and covered with court plaster.
 The sense of his overwhelming calamity was still too strong upon Powell to let 1 him answer simple question put to him 1 by Underwood. The vivid picture of that l great sledge landing in the heart of his machine plotted out every other impress l sion, and he remained tongue tied until | Underwood ushered him into the office 1 Fremont looked up, ignoring Powell S battered condition. He had already heard | of the fight over the broken model 'I suppose you intend to walk ont
 with the other men?" he asked "Yes sir" replied Powell.
 Naturally" Fremont agreed q don't know that I can blame you. I am sorry though, that l can't have you here for the installation of the machines?' "The-what machines?"
 Your machines I'm going to set up six of them this week.
 Powell looked so ludcrous in his aston ishment that Fremont lay back in his chair and laughed like Q boy. You see, Powell, I guaged you correct 1y," Fremont explained. While you
 mooned along, enjoying yourself with putting minor Improvements into shape, l got to work. The day I signed a con tract with you I ordered a rush machine
 made from tracings of your drawings.
 It stood the test, and I ordered a dozen.
 Six of them are locked up in the store
 room, ready to set up. The other six
 will be delivered next week. Another
 dozen are under way. I am very glad
 to tell you that they are all you dared
 to hope; much more than I had expected.
