THANKFUL TO MRS. PINKHAM Letters Proving Positively that there is No Medicine for Woman's Ills Equal to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ANNIE THOMPSQNI— LETTERS ARK PUDLIBITED BT SPECIAL PF.lt IIISSIOH.) "I cannot say enough in regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has done me more good than all the doctors. 1 have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrLoea and was so weak that I eoukl not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the womb and ovaries, and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ach« very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work ; was not able tc stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars foi doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vege table Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it. but 1 did not then think it would do me any good. After a time, 1 concluded to try it, and I caD truly say it does all that is claimed for it. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I hav« had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I havr In years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite. an« now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. rinkham's Veg* stable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be with out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to all my sex, for J know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured." Gratefully yours, MRS. ANNIE THOMPSON, South Hot Springs, Ark.

The style is, however, equally adapted to cloth of different colors, to velvet, velveteen and corduroy; brown, blue, black, tau aud red are all worn, and are held in equal favor with the green. Both fronts and backs are seamless aud tit smoothly across the shoulders, but are slightly loose below the belt to allow ample freedom for young legs. The left front laps well over the right in true Russian style, and the closing is effected invisibly beneath the trimmed edge. At the neck is a standing collar with rounded ends. The sleeves are laid in a wide box pleat at the shoulders, and tucks are stitched flat at the wrists to cuff depth. 'A BBCO MINO SHIRT WAIST. ' I The trousers are fitted at the hips with darts, and are slinped with in side, outside and centre seams, and closed at the sides. The lower edges are finished with hems or casings, in which elastic is inserted by means of which the leg portions are drawn in to give the baggy effect. To make this suit for a boy* of four years of age three and seven-eighth yards of material twenty-one Inches wide, three aud an eighth yards twen ty-seven inches wide, two yards forty four inches wide, or one and three quarter yards fifty inches wide, will be required. Woman's Shirt The shirt waist shows variations without number, but in all Its form retains the essential characteristics that have endeared It to the feminiue heart. The smart May Manton design shown in the large drawing is admir able in every way, and will be found generally becoming. The slight ful ness formed by the tucks means the soft, graceful folds that are so well adapted both to slender ami stout figures, aud the back gives just the tapering effect required by the latest mode. As illustrated ihe material is French flannel in a pretty shade of pink, the buttous are of dull-finished gold, and the belt of flexible metal braid, showing stripes of pink and gold, held by a simple dull gold buckle. The waist Is made over a fitted lin ing that closes at the centre front. The frouis proper are laid in three tucks at each shoulder, below which they fall iree to the waist, where the fulucss is arranged In gathers. Down the centre is applied a tapering box pleat that Is stitched ucar each edge, permanently to the right front aud hooked over Invisibly or but lotted onto the left. The back llleiudes three tucks that corrvspond with and meet ihose of the fronts at the shoulder seam, are stitched lu the back to the waist Hue, v. lie re they lap with slight fulness. The sleeve'i are in bishop style, flutshed at Ihe wrists with Itoluied cuffs. At ilie neck is a stand lug count that also Is Ituished with a point aud is lapped uvur at the ceatr* front. To cut this skirt for a woman ol medium size four yards of materia' twenty-one inches wide, three and Ave eighth yards twenty-seven inches wide, two and three-quarter yards thirty two inches wide, or two yards forty four inches wide, will be required. New Parasols. The new parasols are chiefly In bright colors of both figured and plain silks, including taffetas, satin foulards pcau de sole and peau de cynge. All have bamboo or other natural-woofi handles, sicks and ferrules; many have the ribs tipped with ivory aud art finished with a bow or a cord and large tassels on the handle. Some ol the elaborate ones are trimmed with chiffon or lace rufties or with contrast ing bauds of plain or panne velvet in graduated widths. The New Gray. There I- a new and pretty tone of gray, which, although adopted more or less by Parisians, should only be worn by good looking people with fair com plexions. Its coldness is much miti gated by being mixed with black and silver, and here again does the bolero coat give scope for imagination, for braidings in black aud silver on gray cloth are ladylike, smart and useful for all occasions. The Spring Wrap*. If any one wishes to know the news as to spring wraps, let it bo under stood that long taffeta coats will be absolutely the rage. An Open (Juration. It is an open question which is the handsomer "at home" reception gown -almond-green, so-called; a pistachio tone of deep light green, or the peony pink, which is so fresh and cheerful looking. These velvets are patterned over with figures either iu black or 8 lighter tone of the same eolor. Thw self-colored patterned velvets are re garded as rather more chic than those which show designs of another color. Woman'* Seven-Gored Tacked Skirt. The skirt that is tucked in groups is always graceful and promises to re main a favorite for the present and the season to come. The May Manton model illustrated is the very latest that has appeared, and combines all the newest features. As shown it Is made of wool crepe in cadet blue, but is suited to all materials: cloth, silk, cashmere, crepe de chine and the en tire range of available stuffs. The skirt is cut # in seven gures. The tucks, which are a half inch in width, arc laid at the straight edge of each side and back gore, there being six groupe irt all, three at each side. They are stitched and pressed flat to the point Indicated, below which they are left free to fall in soft folds to the floor. The upper portion of the skirt is fitted closely ami smoothly, but It Hares stylishly as it falls below the knees. The fulness at the back Is laid in doable inverted pleats that meet over the centre seam.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. European astronomers are now busy photographing the sky. There will be about 22,000 plates, giving the loc& tion of 30,000,000 stars. Sunlight Is a bundle of rays of light —red, orange, yellow, green, blue, in digo and violet all mixed together. The mixture of all colors is white light the absence of all colors is utter dark ness. Experiments are being carried out in the Austrian army with a new port able oven for field and transport pur poses. The oven at present in use is a very unwieldly and heavy article, and has to be transported in sections The new oven, however, may be car ried Intact upon a cart, and if neces sary, can be utilized for baking pur poses while on the march. The surface of a sponge is covered with little holes that are larger at the top than at the bottom, while the whole mass contains a system of channels. When the animal is alive water is kept flowing constantly through these channels by means of minute hair-like appendages which the little polyps agitate. The water thus drawn brings with it the food required (or the sustenance of the sponge. A German periodical contains an ac count of the most recent ascents of Count Zeppelin's navigable balloon. Several modifications have been in troduced into the construction of the machine, one of which is an alteration of the steering apparatus. The speed of propulsion relatively to the air was estimated at about eight metres per second —about 18 miles an hour. The weight of the machines was about 10 tons. According to Professor Adam Sedg wick there is reason to believe that buds share in the growing old of the parent plant. He illustrates his meaning in this way: Suppose the average life of an individual plant, say a tree, to be 100 years, then a bud re moved when the parent plant is 50 years old will also be virtually 50 years of age, and if transplanted by grafting will be able to live on the graft only 50 years more. While it is found that the glacial flow iu the region of what is now the Connecticut valley was directly south ward (as we know by the glacial scratches and striae on the upper sur faces of ledges recently denuded of soil, and by trains of boulders), it was eastward, or at least east by south east, over the region bordering on Massachusetts bay. The geologists find evidence also that the forward edge of the glacier extended some 50 or more miles beyond the present coast line. Georges Banks and the sands of Cape Cod are the abiding visible record of the glacier deposi tion that went on not far away. To Cure Innoinnin. An English physician of distinction gives these suggestions for cure of in somnia: In cases where the patient bleeps for an hour or two, then awakes with a stprt and cannot goto sleep again, the physician recommends that a hot water compress be laid on the abdomen. Where one cannot goto sleep on retiring, and is unable to dismiss thoughts that have occupied the day, it is advised that the patient keep his feet in water as hot as he can bear comfortably for 10 minutes be fore going to bed. He should then put on a pair of thin cotton hose wrung out of cold water, and over those a pair of woolen ones. A more power ful remedy is a mustard sitz bath, with the proportion of a teacupful of mus tard to a gallon of hot water. He should remain seated in the bath from 10 to 20 minutes. In many cases, a reclining bath in tepid water is useful as a sedative. A Substitute for Celluloid. In the Black Forest a new substance has been produced by the boiling of untanned leather in oil, which first, all the property of being a good electrical insulator, but, besides this, it can be used for manifold purposes. This new material can be polished, and in its structure resembles horn, and can be pressed or worked Into any form whatsoever, either directly after the boiling process or later, after the hardened hide has been made soft and elastic by being dipped into a salt or alum bath. By means of polishing this material can be made almost transparent, and it can also be given different degrees of hardness, so that a substance is obtained which can be kr.eaded, embossed, stamped, pressed drawn and twisted into any desired shape or design. Mniiufai'liirlng Sulphuric Adit. A great change seems imminent In «lio manufacture of sulphuric acid. The well known Iladen aniline and soda factory lias patented a most Impor tant Improvement in the production <>f this substance. By this new process there is an Immense saving In fuel. And the expensive platina apparatus Is no loncer necessary. More Impor tant still is the fact that no saltpeter Is required by the new process Salt peter is of such enormous value for agricultural aud technical purposes that any economy In Its use must l> • welcomed, the more so as the saltpe ter fields will, in the course of time, be exhausted. «•»« MM1.11.4.

I had to give up work at last, I was so nervous and miserable, and I was falling away in flesh so that my friends hardly knew me. I tried several remedies, but without avail. At last someone recommended Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nsrve rem edy. I tried one bottle and began to improve.
