LYDIA E. PINkHAM

No other medicine has been 40
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womananyd day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

Put Through His PAGES.

The wealthy Briton is confessedly
the most fastidious man living as to
the quality of his personal domestic
service. The concentrated energy with
which an Englishman will rebuke his
servant for an offense so slight that
the average American fails to observe
it bears out the above statement.
Those who propose changing servants
are not content with references and a
perfunctory interview with the man
or maid under consideration, but in
sist upon a full dress rehearsal of both
manners and appearance. The serv-
ant in livery is put through all his
PAGES, must display the size of his
calves, the haughtiness Of his pose as
well as breeding in handling card,
announcing a guest or serving at the
table. Nothing is taken for granted.
The master and the mistress sit by
and discuss the points of groom or but
Ter as they would those Of high
priced horse or valuable dog. Domes-
tics are taken with great seriousness
by the upper class Englishmen, and
for that reason nothing is left to luck
in peopling the servants hall.

comnosite Names.

Zone of the differences between the
east and the northwest" said Puget
sounder, lis the names. of places, and
the Skikomishes, the Snohomishes, the
Snoqualmies, the Wahkiakums and the
lot of them give man funny feelings,
and when he runs across Bucoda, on
the Northern Pacific railroad in Pierce
county, Wash, he doesn't know Wheth-
er it is Chinook or sSiwash or what.
But it is none of them-like KenOva, in
West Virginia, which is near the juno
ton Of Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia,
or Delmar, where Delaware and Mary
land come together Bucoda is COM
posite name, and it's story is simple
enough. When the Northern Pacific
came in town sprang up, and it
must have a name. There were Indian
names in plenty, but something more
novel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley,
Coulter and Davis, all Northern Pacific
officials, put their heads together first
and their names later, and the name
Bu-co-da was evolved, with an ETY.
mology very apparent to any one who
is at all informed in Technology. Bu-
coda it has remained, and it is not half
bad as names go in the Puget sound

Wink at Some THINGS.

when you have mastered the gentle
art of winking,," said Lord Beacons-
field. ''you hold the key to success in
your hands,"
Every ones personality is made up
of trivial failings and trivial talents.
Foster the good qualities in your
friends and subordinates and wink at
those failings so dear to their possess
ors. Not to see everything is a rule
which will, strengthen friendships and
help you to get the best results from
your fellow workers.

One Fish Didn't Grow.

A number of men were telling of re-
markable catches off Atlantic City, and
one OF them said that one day he
caught very small cod, and, not car
ing to take home such little fellow,
he took piece of copper wire, ran it
through the tail of the fish, and on one
end of the wire he attached copper
tag with his name scratched upon it.
1.-THE next year when was off there, !"
continued the man, Il got heavy pull
on the line, and after five minutes
fighting landed a twelve pound cod.
and there on it's tail was my tag"
sThat reminds me of a similar ex-
perience off there" said another man.
"I caught one Of those small cod, and
wanted to hang some sort of identifi-
cation on it, but / couldn't find any
thing in the copper tag line from one
end Of the boat to the other. did
find, however, a little tin whistle in
one of my pockets, and, running a wire
through the tail of the fish, I hung on
the whistle and threw the cod back
into the water.
'sThe following year got most pc
culiar bite on my hook, and after pull
ing in the line got the surprise Of my
life. There was the same little cod.
He hadn't grown an inch, but hang
ing on his tail was a long fog horn

Africans and the Locomotive.

The children of the desert were filed
with awe when first the silence of the
primeval solitude was broken by the
putting OF the steam engine Down at
the other end of the Cape to Cairo line
the simple Matabele, when first con-
fronted by a locomotive, were certain
that the strange machine was worked
by the labor OF an indefinite number Of
oxen, which they assumed were shut
up inside; hence. when the engine stop
ped, they gathered in curious crowds,
waiting to see the door open and the
oxen come out, nor could they for many
days be persuaded that the power Of
the locomotive could come from other
than the strength of the OK.
The Arabs of the Sudan, more mag
NATIVE than the Matabele, saw in the
fire horses of the railway one of the
Djinns Of the Arabian Nights har-
messed by the magic of the infdel to
the long train of cars. The steam en-
CINE was to them living, sentient

An UnaccountabIe FaiIinu.

1t was a severe trial to Mr.. Harding
that his only sons memory was not all
that could be desired. Where in the
world he got such forgetful streak
from is beyond me- said the exasper-
ated father to his wife on one occasion.
''What has he forgotten noW?' asked
Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and
a demure expression.
'"The figures of the last return from
the election on the bulletin board"
And Mr.. Harding inserted finger in
his collar as if to loosen it and shook
his head vehemently. Looked at 'em
as he came past not half an hour ago,
and now can't tell me.
''As I said to him. IF you're SO stu
pid you can't keep few simple figures
in your head, why don't you write 'em
down on a piece of paper, as do, and

The Mysterious Geeenschien.

There is visible in the night sky, un-
der favorable circumstances, a faint
light, rounded in outline and situated
always exactly opposite to the place
of the sun. 1t is called the t'gegen-
schien" and is one of the most mex
plicable objects known to astronomers.
According to scientist, it may be a
sort of cometary or meteoric satellite
attending the earth. He supposes it
to be composed of a cloud Of meteors,
situated about 100000 miles from
the earth and revolving around it in a
period of just one year, so that the
sun and the meteors are always on OPP
posite sides Of the earth. He estimates
that the size of this ghostly satellite
may be nearly the same as that Of the
planet Jupiter-viz, about $4,000 miles
in diameter.

Officials Forced to "eraft.v

There is one popularity about Hol-
lands system of colonial government.
The resident officials are paid the
most ridiculously small salaries in the
world. In Borneo, for instance, the
governor is paid not more than 5000
a year and on this he must live in the
state BETTING an officer of the crown.
Obviously such official must graft or
