WHEN THE TINE CONES.

woman of sixty to her youthful grand
daughters. a hundred, indeed! I
homo that when my time comes I'll
have the good taste to die, and not
try to- hang en- like a witherei leaf.
What do I consider the proper age
for dying? Ny dears, it depends on
the individual. I know a man who
is youthful at eighty, but he wastes
no time considering how he can keep
alive till he reaches the century marx.
I doubt if he ever thinks of it. He
is too busy keeping abreast OF the
times, seeing his friends, reading,
walking, playing his part in human
affairs. know man Of seventy VINO
is old, very old. l met him yesterday,
swathed in furs and fiannels, as II t
were midwinter. He told me in a
voice shat he had Just
heard Of a new food and was on his
way to get some-a food warranted
to put more lime IN the bones, or
out; anyhow, it would enable any
one to i've to be hundred at least.
You should have seen the CLEAN in
his cid eyes as he talked OF it. But
why does that man wish to live so
long? He is feeble, he is a constant
anxiety to those about him. there IS
hardly anything he can enjoy. No.
cannot understand this striving to
put off what is as natural, when the
time comes, as birth.
yet every now and then somebody
who ought to know better throws
fresh faggot on the craze for centen-
arianism, and every one seems to
have a vague idea that it's peculiarly
virtuous to live great many years
no matter what use is made OF said
years. I'm glad to observe, though,
that some very well known doctors
are throwing cold water on the craze
of late. New YORK Tribune.

New TyDe of Roadway.

A new type of roadway has been
developed in some parts of California
known as the petrolithic, which IS
nothing more than a well-built oil
ed road. The leading feature of this
pavement is the very complete COM
pacting of the oiled material by
means of rolling tamper,. new
piece of road machinery. 1t was de-
signed to insure the tamping of the
material from the lower portions up
ward to the surface, instead of down.
ward from the surface. The inven-
tor received the idea from seeing a
large flock of sheep walk over new
ly plowed road. After the sheep had
passed over it the soil was found to
be packed so hard that a pick in
dentcd it but a short distance. To
obtain this effect with a roller the
circumference of the main roll is
covered with hampers, which act like
so many feet walking over the earth
and packing it down.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:

''For twelve years had been suffer

During that time I had eleven different

can tell what I suffered, and at times I.
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Personal Responsibility.

In a consular report from Ger
many which was published some
months ago the statement was made
that not only in every wreck, col
lision or minor railroad accident
thoroughly investigated in that
country, but that invariably some
one is held responsible and punished
for the occurrence" except where
the proof is conclusive that human
vigilance and care could not have
averted it. 1t is strange and per-
picking to contrast this condition
with the situation in this country.
Apart from the fact that as yet no
provision has been made for thorough
governmental investigation of acct
dents and for reports definitely fixing
responsibility, there is the graver cir
cumstance that no one here is ap-
parently in danger of punishment for
his share of responsibility for rail-
road accident. So far no one has
ever been convicted for negligence
causing a wreck, and the result of
recent trials is very significant, to
say the least.
The other day jury acquitted the
engineer, conductor and brakeman
who had been indicted for the Terra
Gotta, D. c., wreck of a year ago,
one of the worst railroad disasters
in the history of such calamities.
The evidence in regard to the signals
was conflicting, and the engineer
proved that he had worked extra
hours-of his own free willard
gone long without sleep Immediately
before the accident. Some two weeks
ago a New York court ordered YER
dict of acquittal in the case of the
vice president and general manager
of the New York Central, who had
been indicted for negligence in con-
nection with the terrible Woodlawn
wreck No direct responsibility had
been traced to the defendants, who,
in the opinion of the Judge, could
not be expected to know the exact
condition of every curve, switch, mile
of track, etc., on great line.-Ch1-

The Mighty Clothes Pin.
[nra ara some statistics REGARDING

Here are some statistics regarding
the clothes pin: :" At-7:A
The average price of clothes pins
in the United States is ten for one
cent" says the man Of figures. Five
cents worth, a moderate estimate OF
the clothes pin holdings of an Amer
lean family of five, becomes an inter-
esting common divisor when applied
to the aggregate number of pins in
tho United States.
ALLOWING five cents worth of pins
to each United States family, we find
q total of 750,0G0,000. If Rookie
Teller is really worth $1,000, 100000,
imagine, then, how many clothes pins
his wealth could buy at the price of
ten for one cent.
Five cents worth of clothes pins
punched together fiat cover one
square foot of surface. All the pins
in the United States so placed would
cover q board walk more than fifty
miles long.
Put together end to end the
clothes pins of the United States
would reach over $4,000 miles, or
twice around the earth. Placed as
closely as possible, side by side, in
regular upright position, they would
fill a clothes line reaching from New
York to San Francisco and back to
New York, and would serve to string
q line of family washing from the
earth to the moon.
STACKED in cordwood form, they
would make woodpile ten miles in
length. Pacific Hardware Journal.
