LONELY DOUGHERtY ISLAND.
No Landing Ever Made There, and
Sighted Only Twice In a Century.

Which is the loneliest, most DESC
late and most inaccessible leland on
| the face Of the globe? Many people
would doubtless plump fer one of the
| CroZets, which were recently brought
! into notice owing to the wreck there
on of the Norwegian exploring ship
| Catherine, and the subsequent res
cue Of the castaway crew by the Tura-
kina, British steamer dispatched
from Cape Town for that purpose.
But Hog island, the westernmost
of the group and the one whereon the
wrecked men spent most of their time,
is by no means an undesirable place
of residence, says Persons Weekly,
abounding as it does in hares and rab-
bits, penguins, albatrosses and sea ele-
phant
Heard island, in the same seas. is
far more isolated, as we'll as more bar
ren; but it possesses. as does Hog,
shelter hut for castawayG, and is Wis
tied by whalers occasionally. So too
is South Georgia, but it has no shell
ter hut, and as it is right out of the
track of shipping and one unlucky
enough to be cast away thereon would
stand very poor chance of ever get
ting off alive.
Bouvet island, in the same seas, is
visited even more rarely, and on the
last occasion when ship touched
there five corpses were found frozen
on the beach, grim mementos of some
unrecorded tragedy of the sea. Pos
session island, in its turn, is still
lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet
But probably the palm in this direc-
ton must be ascribed to Dougherty is
land, on which, as far as is known, no
landing has ever yet been effected. 1t
has only been sighted twice in a Gen.
tury, and is officially described in the
admiralty sailing directions as "the
most remote and isolated spot on

Text Somewhat Apropos.

The Rev. J. B. Hammill, the elo-
quent preacher of the Hanson Place
Methodist Episcopal church, Brooklyn,
was preaching at Sayville, l.. l., from
the text Look we'll to your founda-
tions." After repeating the text he
leaned heavily on the pulpit desk,
which gave way and plunged over the
altar rail, nearly hitting the laymen in
the front seat and scattering the Bible
and the preachers notes among the
holders of the pews. The aged preach

Would Take What They Had.

A gentleman purchased at a post
office large quantity of stamped en-
velopes, newspaper wrappers and 9th
er postal requisites.
Finding them somewhat difficult to
carry, he asked one of the counter
clerks if he could supply him with a
small quantity of string.
1--WE are not permitted by the de-
partment to supply string" was the
reply.
Then give me a bit of red tape"
was the sarcastic retort.
The string was supplied.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it 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, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
Is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of q
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
q 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
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries 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 a pain in my left side My
