All letters are received. peneti, read ana answered Dy women only. J woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman ; thus has been established the eternal confidence be tween Mrs. Finkham and the women of America. This confidence has induced more than 100,000 women to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice dur ing the last few months. Think what a volume of experience she has to draw from! No physician living ever treated so many cases of female ills, and from this vast experience surely it is more than possible she has gained the very knowl edge that will help your case. She is glad to have you write or call upon her. You will find her a woman full of sympathy and a great desire to assist those who are sick. .If her medicine is not what you need, she will frankly tell you so, and there are nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any ailing woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if t . i t A r rr p ie does not taKe au vantage 01 mis ireneious oner oi assis- tance. Read the following illustration : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: In March I wrute you the following letter, asking you if your remedies would aid me: "I am twenty eight years old, and have three children. I suffer terribly with pain in the small of the back, dizziness, kidney trouble, nervousness, burning sensation in my stomach, and I am unable to do anything." I received a reply, a very kind rit-l.ful U tter. I followed your advice. To-day, I am glad to be able to write that I am a well woman. I wish all women in my way afflicted would do as I did, and they will find relief. I think any wo man who will continue to suffer with any of these trying diseases peculiar to our sex after hearing what Lydia H. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done in so many cases, is responsible for her own sufferings. Mrs. James J. Hagan, 3842 Clinton St., Nicetown, Phila Pa.

"When you put a postage stamp on an envelope, said a preeise man to his son, "you should put it on square and true, in the upper right-band corner, and as near as poebible to the murg-aiu of the envelope. You put it on at the right-hand corner for the convenience of the stajners in the poet office, so that it may be uniform in location with the stamps on other envelopes and so more convenieuUy and exjeditiously stamped; you should study the comfort of others as well -as yourself. You should put it as near as possible to the corner, so that the canceling stamp will be less likely to deface and so per haps to obscure the address on the en velope. "You should put it on square and true because that is the methodical and proper way to do. Many fiersofis art. disturbed by the appearance of a stamp put on in a careless and slipshod manner. And I can easily imagine that such a practice might work positive in jury to you. You might have occasion to write to a man on a matter of business that was of importance to you. You might compose and write this letter with faithful care and set forth what you had to say with commendable clearness and precision, and yet upset it all by slapping on a stamp carelessly; the recipient might judge you by the one slight act done naturally rather than by the studied work done with a purpose. "My son, don't do it: put the stamp on w here it belongs, so that the little touch of color will grace the envelope and not deface it. wc 'mid 'ik ,'ti . ''it. "A fl? e? .9 4.

If you liave anything to sell, ADVERTISE I' ABBREVIATING BavUta; TELEGRAMS. isthaM Money la This Way I. Boi Coatly Boalnees. "It is false economy to attempt to save money by abbreviating telegram, and I found it out to my coEt," said a woman several days ago in the hearing of a New York Sun reporter. It hap jiened in this way. My sister and 1 went to Florida by boat, several years ago, when there was an outbreak of typoid fever in several Florida towns. My sister, Mary, was iteasick all the way, and when we reached Jackson ville I telegraphed: 'Arrived, Mary ill. lieturn next boat. We took the trip for the sea voyage, you know, and had no intention of staying in Florida. When our boat pulled in at the pier in Xew York I saw my brother-in-law and his whole family waiting for us. They looked solemn, and I said to Mary: "Something's happened. As we came down the gang plank they rushed at us. and, grabbing my sister, said: "Why. Mary, is it safe for you to be up and dressed so soon? "Why not? said my sister in surprise. 'Why, because tin fever is dangerous.' Then it came out that they had supposed from my tele gram that Mary had typhoid fever. "Why didn't you say sea Hick, instead of ill, in your disjrfitch? asked my brother-in-law. "Because it would mean ar extra word, I answered. My brother-in-law had brought a carriage from up town to carry my sister home, ant! when he found that she wasn't sick he told me that, just as a lesson, I might pay for the carriage. It cost me seven dollars, and since then I have written out my telegrams in full." FIGHTING PESTS BY STEAM. How They Carry oa the War Atala.t Ia awte la Aaatralla. The somewhat novel system of em ploying steam with sulphur vapors and other chemicals for the purpose of de stroying various kinds of insect iests is turning out quite a success, says the Australasian. Hy the pressure of steam the disinfecting vapors are forced to the very bottom of every hole and crack in the tree, and without any doubt reach the seat of the disease, thereby thoroughly destroying all in fect life, together with any larvae and eggs which may be at the bottom of the hole. Any loose bark is also pene trated, and if the codlin moth grub is there its fate is sealed. It is claimed that mealy bug, red spider and a hoxt of other ta can be eradicated by the same method. The patentee, S. Ixwe. has just finished steaming and fumi gating a number of orange and lemon trees in the northeastern district, the results being highly satisfactory. The government entomologist, in his valu able book on "Destructive Insects," refers to the great superiority of steam power machines for the pur)ose of de stroying in-fts over those, worked by-hand.

Appendicitis, according to Prof. Dieulafoy, of Paris, is generally due to the progressive formation of a calculus analogoas to the stones formed in the liver and kidneys. He thinks his theory is confirmed by some recent experi ments in which appendicitis was pro duced by surgical means in rabbits. IN UNCLE SAM'S DOMAIN. mm UNDERGROUND CITY. slaaa Ulaeover a Towa Hid In the Uowels of the Karth. The Russians have made a singular discovery in Central Asia. In Turkes tan, on the right bank of the Amou Daria, is a chain of rocky hills near the Itokharan town of Karki, and a number of large caves, which upon examination were found to lead to an underground city, built apiarently lonp before the Christian era. In Popular Science News we find the following description of this singular city: According to effigies, inscriptions and designs upon the gold and silver money unearthed from among the ruins, the existence of the town dcttes liack to some two eenturiea before the birth of Christ The underground Itokharan city is a little over a mile long, and is couqioseil of an enormous labyrinth of corridors, streets and squares, surrounded ly bouses and other buildings two or three stories high. The edifices contain all kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases and the like. In stmic of the streets falls of earth and rock have ol structed the itassages.but generally the visitor can walk about without so much as lowering bis head. The high degree of civilization at tained by the inhabitants of the city is shown by the fact that they built in several stories, by the symmetry of the streets and squares, and by the lieauty of the ttaked clay and metal utensils, and of the ornaments and coins which have been found. It is supposed that long centuries ago this city, so carefully concealed in the bowels of the earth, provided an entire population with a refuge from the in cursions of nomadic savages and robbers.

He had nearly 3,000,000 hills to cultivate and harvest last year. Stephen Salisbury, of Worcester. Mass., has given $200,000 with which to build a museum of fine arts in that citv. His desire to save the handsome Worcester common has induced him to make offers of several other sites for the city hall, which the authorities in tend to build on the common. HIGHLANDER COSTUME. Rail- Caused Coasteraatloa la a French way Coach. A person arrayed in full Highland cos tume caused a terrible commotion in a railway carriage in the Perraehe sta tion, near Lyons, recently. Two ladies who were in the carriage shrieked as they saw the awful specta cle presented by the entry into their comportment of a man without trous ers. The Highlander, who was on his way to Nice, nevertheless took his seat with Caledonian coolness, whereupon the ladies screamed Uie louder. It was in vain that the apparition iu the garb of the old Gaul apologized and plained tlie situation in bad French, and equally futile were the efforts of the station master, wbo assured the ladies that the gentleman in the dirk, the siiorran and the tart&u accessories was perfectly harmless. "You don't run the shadow of a risk, mesdames," insisted the station master in his blandest tones; "the gen tleman comes from the country where the men wear pettiooats and do not use trousers." Despite everything, however, which was said in order to calm their appre hensions, the over-timid lady travelers had to be placed in a carriage at a safe distance from where the Caledonian, stern and wild, was seated. Ostrich Beats a Bicycle. The Caiw Times says that a peculiar experience befell a local cyclist, Don ald Menzies, recently. He was riding along the main road from Cape Town to Somerset West Strand, when an os trich, attracted apparently by what was in its eyes a novel vehicle, com menced to waltz around the bicycle. After a few preliminary antics the bird took it into its head to pace Mr. Men zies, and so long as it abstained from using its wings the cyclist and the ostrich ran "a dead heat. However, after covering about half a mile in this way the ostrich utilized its stumpy- wings as sails and spurted away at record-breaking pace, leaving the cy clist far behind. After that the bird troubled Mr. Menzies no more. Ho Coi promised. One of Calgary's recent contingent to the coast evidently knew but little about the Chinook, judging by the story that is being told on him. Wishing to get some clams to take back with him. he asked an old squaw, w ho had cob webs in her eyes and a basket on her head, what she wanted for a basketful. and the blushing brunette replied: "Sit- cum dollar, hayaa klosh. To this the gay Calgaryite said: "Yumping vim miny! Six dollars and all my clothes? No, by gingersnap! I'll give you $2.50, my watch and overcoat." It is unneces sary to state that the offer was accepted. as all the dusky maiden asked for the clams was four bits. HOME NOTES. THE PARIS CABBY. For Ways That Are Isark He Ha. Very Few Equal.. Should an accident ltefall the vehicle of a Paris cabman during your occu ancy, lie will abandon himself to a paroxysm of grief, compute, tlie loss, and tell in moving accents of his wife and children, wliose I read will lie taken from tlieir mouths by the mis hap. But if your fingers thereupon make instinctively for your jiocVet, restrain them; he is insured. He (ays a smull monthly premium to a cab insurance company; and in the case of a miiu1i up, only the company suffers. A play ful intimation that you are aware of this circumstance will do wonders to console him. There was. in days gone by, a cabman who made such a ir-xl thing out of accidents that he ended by adopting them as a Seciuty. He confined his lalmrs to those quar ters of the town chiefly affected by the English, and his system vtas to pick up a lienevolent English tourist (by preference a lady) and break a shaft. He knew a method of turning a corner which no shaft could resist. Then he would beat his lieast, and shake his fist at heaven: call iiHn the universe to witness that he w;ls a poor man. who would 1 f ruined by the sum it must cost to get his cab repaired, bring in his wife and children, though the unprincipled creatine was a bache lor and what could a lafnevoleut-look-ing English tourist do but lielp hi in out? A HOLY TERROR. Bat the Little Bsttsaberp Love Her All the Kaane. The ruler of Balmoral castle, accord ing to the Strand Magazine, is not the 'queen, but the housekeeper, a Mrs. Mussens. a typical personage of her class, gowned always in rustling black silk, lace-trimmed apron and white cap. Sale and the queen are said to be excel lent friends, and many a gossip have they had together when affairs of state have been laid aside. Mrs. Mussens also stands high in the favor of the little Battenbergs, who are sure to seek her out as. soon as they have landed at the castle, for she fair ly idolizes the little ones and keeps many a treasure in her apartments with which to regale them. To the world at large Mrs. Mussens is a holy terror. Iter word is law, and she enforces it at the tximtof the tiax-onet or the broomstick. It is sajd that once the queen wanted a certain maid to whom she had taken a fancy detailed to the care of her own room, but the housekeeper remonsf rated, telling her majesty that it wms quite out of order and she really must not sixil the serv ants by undue notice. The queen was wise enough not to insist, and "dear Mrs. Mussens" won the day. WHEN REPTILES RULED. There Wa. a Time Whea the (ilohe We. la Their PgsssHioa. There was a time "in the wide revolv ing shades of centuries past" when the globe was wholly in the possession of walking, swimming and nying rep tiles," says an exchange. Being the dominant type, they divided natural ly into three great classes. In the oceans tney hecame gigantic, paddling enaliosaurians; on dry land or, rather, wet land, for the whole, sni face of the globe was doubtless a quag mire at that time they hecame niun strous. erect dinosaurians. some of which had legs 15 feet or more in length. Those which inhabited the regions of the air were the terrible flying ptero dactyls. For a vast but unknown length of time these awful creatures literally ruled the earth. Then one ry one they died out in the face of the younger and more vigorous fauna until at the present time only a few miniature alligators and crocodiled, a few to) makes and skulking lizards and geckos remain as reminders of the enormous reptilian types that once crowded land and sea. Early Piety. D. L. Moody, the evangelist, told a story in Philadelphia recently almuthis life before his conversion, when a boy of 17. He said that while he was a pretty bad boy inhisunregeneratedays, deep in the follies and errors of the world, he never broke so far away from his early religious training as to forget to say alls prayers every night. "I used to sleep with my brother," he said, "and if either one of us happened to jump into bed without first getting on his knees, the other would swear at hiiu vigorously and kick him out on the floor."
