1,250-Foos Ships in 1890.

At the first international congress Of
maritime navigation in Philadelphia it
was predicted that in 1850 the twenty
largest boats on the Atlantic will have
an average length of LOO feet. with a
beam of more than 100 feet, and a
draught of nearly forty feet.
A forecast, however, made several
years ago for 1923 materialized last
year, and it may well be that this fore
cast for 1850 will find itself an actual
ity fifteAn or twenty years sooner than
the time prophesied.
Work being done to better docking
facilities all over the world gives a
slight indication of what may be e1-
pected. The plans for the new locks
Of Tilbury dock provide for ships OF q
length Of 1880 feet, width OF l3o
feet and a draught of SO feet. The
suez canal is to be deepened to 80 feet
by 1915.

The Tale of the Earrina.


A curious instance of the survival
and revival Of a fashion which orig
mated in the remotess times is the
earring. Worn by the kings Of Egypt,
and extremely popular among the Ia
dies of ancient Rome, It subsequently
lost favor until. the gay day Of the
Stuart period, after which it again
dropped out, and has now once more
regained popularity. The very earliest
mention Of this form Of decoration is
to be found In the Book Of Genesis.
Jacob, It will be remembered, on
reaching Bethel buried certain strange
idols, among them some earrings be-
longing to his family. Doubtless these
ornaments were regarded purely in q
.propiuatory light as amulets or tails
mans, such being stin their principal
office In the east today. That they are
OF eastern origin Is certain. and among
.Orientals, with the exception OF
Greeks and Hebrews, It has always
been the custom for both sexes to
wear them, while frequently only one
ear was adorned. Among other races.
however, earrings were always worn
In pairs, and BY the women only.

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community -"'1 will
find women who have been restoI-
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that theyhave
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of them state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

Fun in a Museum.

The idea Of pink rosette being tied
on the 50-foot tail of the diplodocus,
giant creature that roamed the west
ern plains million years ago, is
shocking In the extreme to bespec-
tacled men of fathomless minds, al
though others treat the matter as a
huge joke.
The affair occurred recently in the
Carnegie institute at Pittsburg. At the
time there were few people In the mu-
scum of the institute, and the guard
had strolled afeld. A party Of young
women went through. They whispered
and giggled Of wagers. They looked
down and looked back, and no one was
in sight. Then one young creature
slid a large pink rosette from beneath
her motor coat. In a jiffy she tied it
on the tail of the big diplodocus. Then
they all slipped away. their hearts
beating fast.
Discovery shocked the attendants
and now every moment some guard in
the museum twists his head around
suddenly and looks suspiciously at the
tail Of the diplodocus. In his fancy he
sees the same pink rosette that caused
all the trouble.
