drawing room car is very much alike sleek, stout and conventionei-but as . rule it's not an ohtrusive crowd. They let one another alone. It is the promiscuousress of the ordinary coach that I mind most. You may take the everyday observation car: I like the perQuisites of the parlor. car-those close wire screens at the windows. the footstools, even those grotesque white paper bags that the porter has to sell for hat protectors.
 After all the point am making is that If 1t falls to your lot to travel by the everyday observation car. as you call 1t. you can make 1t diverting enough to compensate for these crea- ture comforts, welcome as they are on a warm day" said the first speaker luxuriously abandoning herself to the depths of her chair. "one of the sights that went most to my heart" she add ed, thoughtfully. was that of a father who was seeing his family off at the North Station. He ought to have been going, too; he looked hard worked and overworked, but he bade goodbye to the mother and the three children-and the eat-cheerily saying over and over again: Now, have a good rest.

That teaching is popular vocation 10 shown by the figures of State Examiner H, Y. Brooke. whose report on the state department of educa ton bears the information that. during the twenty months since February l. 1908. there have been 1S.4ab applications for teachers licenses.
 Of the applicants who took the examinations, s,0sS passed and were granted licenses.
 Of the 5.3Ss rejected. many were turned down because of fraud, accord ing to the report
 Books and accounts of the depart ment of education have been examined by the state examiner, and his report, submitted to the Governor yesterday, shows that every figure and financial statement is correct.
 The report of the examiner is:
 Tn obedience to instructions re- ceived from the, Governors office. I vouchers of H. c. Gunnels. State Super intendent of Education, from February l, 1908, to October l, 1909. inclusive. and report as follows:
 The contingent fund of $1,o00 is properly accounted for.
 "The district institute fund of $1,3oe Is properly accounted for.
 The income from regular examina- ton for two years has exceeded the expense by $s.151.02. whlch amount has been transferred to the credit of the general educational fund.

Teaching Popular Profession In ~ ~
 Alabama--Report Of Department

At the solicitation of the state superintendent of education and the secretary of the board of examiners have devised a complete change in the system of keeping the records of the board of examiners. These of ficisls are of the opinion that the change will save at least one-third of the bookkeeping.
 This department, I am informed, has for several years been trying to inaugurate a system for the payment of teachers direct from this office in e manner similar to the paying of pensioners. have. carefully gone over this matter with the state ,Ruper- intenSent of educstioD. and I am fully convinced that the project 10 feasible, and that by the use of voucher checks' issued after. the county superinten- dents have passed on, certified. and forwarded the pay rolls to this office, the plan can be put In operation wfrn- out additional clerical assistanee., Re- cent developments brought out by examinations of county superinten- dents prompts me to again call atten- ton to the necessity for a change in the method of disbursing the eduoa- tional fund of the state, without de- priving the county superintendents of any of their emoluments."
 The department of the board of examiners has always been self sus- taining, contrary to the popular be- lief that the educational end of gov ernment is always a drain. The en- tire expenses including. salaries of the board member. their assistants, the county examiners. printing bills and other office expenses have been cover ed by the income from regular exami- nation fees, leaving each year net balance of a few hundred dollars turn ed into the general education fund. The last two years this net balance was about $s.0oo each year.
 Beginning next December, three examinations annually will be given, under the new examination law.
 A fund also is provided hereafter to be used by the examiners in each coun- ty in furnishing tables or desks for the applicants so that unfairness may be prevented i;ff he future

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" ."-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED. Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, ulceratiOn, local weak nesses. fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and 1t is nneoualled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay says,i is worth noun. tains of gold " to suffering women.

WHAT IS HEM-ROID?
A TABLET, TAKEN INTERNALLY ~ THAT CUHES PILES.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are getting more common every day. because of the un- natural way in which sO many of us live, pvereating, overworkfng, taking little healthful exercise, and driving the brain at the expense of the body. With indigestion and constipation. these causes bring about a congestion of the veins in the lower bowel. e stagnation of blood. a fabby condition of the bow al walls, and finally those stubborn. painful. annoying little tumors called piles.
 As the cause is inside. 1t is idle to expect a cure from ointmentS, supposi- tories, cutting. or otner outward treat anent.
