They often keep secret for long time the fact that they are suffering from drains, inflammation, ulcer ation, or female weakness. But they can't keep the se cret very long, because the hollow eyes, cheeks that have lost their freshness, and the irritability which comes from sorely tried nerves, all conspire to publish the sto ry of suffering. The usual motive for such secrecy. dread of indelicate questions and offen sive examinations; is removed by Dr. Pierce's methods.

'" AMERICAN COAL ABROAD. Sixty Thousand Tons of It in the Mediterranean. Washington, Feb. 23. Sixty thousand tons of Pocahontas coal are now enter ing the Mediterranean, In spite of pre dictions from eminent authorities In tho United States that It wns Impos sible for our coal'to compete with Car diff coal In that market. This ship ment Is reported by United States Con sul Skinner at Marseilles. He says that on account of the excess of freight charges against American coal he has never detected that It could compete evenly for the Mediterranean trudo with England except under temporary condi tions such as now exist. However, he says, we have In our favor a 'steady decrease In the European coal supply and a steady Increase in our own pro duction, and with lower freights, which might be secured If tho Mediterranean goods were shipped direct to the Unit ed States, Instead of through England, we might hold our share of the trade. A report from Consul Brunot, at St. Etlenne, Is to the effect that the strike of the coal miners there has termin ated, the miners obtaining recognition of their federation, nine per cent. In crease In wages and certain conces sions regatdlng tho hours of labor. The strlKe of the weavers still con tinues and tho outlook Is uncertain. MATERIALS ARE YIELDING Will Be Well for the Industries of the Country Boom Will Result in Leather Business. New York, Feb. 23. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to morrow will say: Prices of materials are yielding. If not tho best news pos sible for some speculatots, It Is the best that could come for the whole country, since industries could not long pio3pcr without reaction fiom tho extteme pi Ices cuused by actual or supposed scarcity of materials last ear. Some help comes from new Iron furnaces that have opened or approach completion; some from tho famine In India, which sends hither ship toads of hides; some fiom tho much Increased Mocks of sheep, which have weathered the winter, and some fiom the opening of new lion works or copper mines. The causes are many, but the revision of quotations gives promise of greater activity in all the chief Industries.' The great Iron Industry has been em barrassed for prices were high and billets were no longer sustained, grad ually yielding prices of products. Plates are still weak, as most con sumers are provided far ahead, but n Pacific order covers 2,000 tons, and the Chicago and Northwestern has placed orders in the east for 5,600 tons for bridge work. Steel works are full, but have taken a small contract for ex port and better business enables th tin plate works to lesume. Cheaper hides arfd leather enable boot and shoe makers to take contracts for split goods at 2"i tents less than ptices recently aske'd, and some large sales have resulted. At last it is admitted that wool quo tations, so long held at fully 3 cents per hundred pounds, are higher than prices In large actual sales last week. Failures for the week wore in the United States 201, against 191 last year, and 33 in Canada, against 40 last year. WORK OF PARDON BOARD. Cases Held Under Advisement Par dons Refused.

It also cures cioup and has been used In tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as wo have been able to leain. It not only cures cioup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will pi event the attack. In cases of whoop ing cough It Uquelles the tough mucus, making It easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and fiequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus de priving that disease of all dangerous consequences.
