Consider This Advice.
No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive-
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it a trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.,
invites all sick women to write

Art That Is Understood. \
It cannot be said that the majority
of people lack the taste to esteem the
highest works of art. The majority
always have understood, and still un-
derstand, what we also recognize as
being the very best art: the epic of
‘Genesis, the Gospel parables, folk-
legends, fairy-tales, and folk-song are
understcod by all. How can it be
that the majority has suddenly lost
it§’ capacity to understand what is
high in our art?—Tolstoi.

; Wedded to Art, Perhaps.
. Literary people seem to have as
much trouble of late keeping the mar-
riage vows as those who interpret the
artistic side of life on the stage. Kath-
erine Thurston and her husband are
both novel writers, and no doubt that
has had something to do with their
inability to agree, a divorce having
recently been granted Mrs. Thurston.

Raise Pile on Velvet.
Put.on a table two pieces of wood,
place between them bottom side up
over the cloth with the wrong side
down; ‘when ° thoroughly steamed,
brush the pile with a light wisp and
the velvet will look as good as new.
—Mrs. Dema Cory, in the Boston
Post.
To Repair Plastered Walls.
Small holes in white plastered
walls can be easily filled without
sending for the mason. Equal parts
such .as is used in most families for
‘scouring purposes, mixed with water
to a paste, applied at once and
smoothed with a knife. Tt will make
the broken place as good as netv. The
mixture hardens very quickly, so it
is best to prepare but a small quan-
tity at a time.—Sylvia Grey, in the
Boston Post.
Wood Work,
A good varnish: One-half pint of
boiled linseed oil, one-half pint of tur-
pentine, mixed and well shaken be-
fore using will fill the pores of the
wood and give it a good gloss. Put
on with a cotton cloth, then polish
with a dry cloth. To remove stains
from hands I keep lemon juice in a
bottle. A little dlcohol in it to keep
it from spoiling. When I clean vege-
tables or peel apples I clean the stains
off. my hands with it.—Mrs. D. W.
Lloyd, in the Boston Post.
For Amateur Dressmakers.
Amateur dressmakers, who exper-
ience trouble in making a good fit,
may buy shoulder forms, the use of
which materially adds to the appear-
ance of a dress or coat. They come
in various sizes, curves and weights,
suitable to all figures and materials.
Each pair is accompanied by dirce-
tions telling exactly how to sew them
in. Some are made with a little
curved edge, which serves as a sleeve
extender, projecting about an inch,
and serving to support the gathers of
the sleeve.—New York Telegram.
Hot Water Uses,
For all slight cuts or burns which
a housekeeper . frequently gets, a
quick application of hot-water—not
warm, but hot; .if on the hand or
fingers, a quick plunge, removing
«quickly, then plunging again as long
as the heat lasts; if on a place one
can’t plunge, fill a sponge or wad of
cloth with the hot water; let the
steam temper the injured part first;
put nearer and nearer till one can
bear it very hot; it will take the
soreness from the cut or remove the
sting from the burn after the very
first application.—Mrs. C. H. Ma-
grath, in the Boston Post.
How to I’reserve Flowers.
When you receive .a bouquet
sprinkle it lightly with fresh water,
then put it into a vessel containing
some soapsuds, which nourish the
roots and keep the flowers as bright
as new. Take the bouquet out of the
suds every morning and lay it side-
wise in fresh water, the stock enter-
ing first into the water, keeping it
there for a minute or two, then take
it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly
with the hand with pure water. Re-
place the bouquet in the soapsuds
and the flowers will bloom as fresh
as when first gathered. The soap-
day. By observing these rules a bou-
auet can be kept bright and beautiful
for at least one month, and will last
still longer in a very passable state,
but attention to the fair and frail
features as directed above must be
closely followed.—Miss Eva A. Ca-
hoon, in the Boston Post.

A Missing Lady Teazle.
Tip was in Forbes-Robertson's cozy
dressing room the other night when
the calk¥oy put a crack in the door
and said, “Getting near you, sir!’
And az he’ gathered his Inverness
around. his shoulders the Passer-By
was reminded of what happened once
when some one failed to hear a “cue.”
It was “The School for Scandal” that
was beng played by an inferior com-
| pany in the provinces. Any one who
has seen or read it recalls how much
depends on the screen scene. When
Lady Teazle was ‘discovered’ she
wasn’t there! The lady is supposed
to stay where she is hidden by Sur-
face, but she thought she would slip
out into the dressing room, powder
her nose and run back in time for
the exposure. Of course the perform-
ance was ruined. The curtain was
rung down amid roars of derision;
and the night's receipts were lost by
the negligence of the actress.—New

The Newspaper is Proof.
A newsparer can never very credit-
ably represent a town whose business
men do not advertise. He may howl
| himself hoarse bragging about the
vim and energy and enterprise of his
town, but if his declarations are not
backed up by a, liberal amount of
advertising by the business men of
the town, readers will be slow to take
his statements as true. It takes more
than the unsupported testimony of
the local newspaper man to prove to
the world that his town is the finan-
cial centre, the business centre, the
best market and the best place on
earth to buy goods; his evidence
needs corroboration.

Woman a Clerk For €0 Years.
The death of Miss Martha Mitchell,
of Alfred, Me., at the age of seventy»
nine years, closes in all probability
the most remarkable business career
cf any woman in the State.
Miss Mitchell was born in Alfred,
educated in the schools of the town
and lived in the old house until she
died. She entered the office of the
register of deeds as a clerk about the
vear 1849 or 1850, and she has
worked there or in the office of the
register of probate ever since. Miss
Mitchell did not leave her position at
the desk until two weeks before she
died.—Bangor News.
Living Up to Cur Reputation,
There is a certain relaxation that
comes when we know we are not
going to be held up to what we have
said; that we shall escape the annoy-
ance of being expected to be the kind
of person who said it, whatever it
may be. When we meet a man who
has written things we expect him to
live up to his signature. Usually he
doesn’t, and then we grumble: “Isn’t
he the man who wrote ‘——?’ 1
thought so. Well, he doesn’t look it,
dces he?” Probably he is tired of
being expected to ‘look it,” and
doesn't mean to, and is glad he
dcesn’t.—Washington Star.

New Road Nomenclature.
Advancement in the science of road
building is accentuated by the action
of the committee on asphaltic and bi-
tuminous pavements, of the Organi-
zation of City Officials for Standard-
izing Paving Specifications, which was
formed recently at Chicago.
According to reports of discussions
in the committee, and as partly shown
in the report, roads constructed from
broken stone and bituminous mater-
ials are separated into two classes,
“bituminous macadam’’ and bitumin-
ous concrete.” A bituminous mac-
adam road is defined as one con-
structed of broken, stone of the vari-
ous sizes commonly used in macadam
roads, with sometimes sand and grav-
el, to which has been applied bitu-
minous material by what is known as
the “‘penstrgtion method,” i. e., the
application of the bituminous mater-
ial, either hot or cold, to the surface
of the road after the stone has been
| placed in Bogition and rolled.
A bituminous concrete road, in; dif-
ferentiation from a bitumingus maec-
adams road is defined ¥s one built of | ehVd
a mineral aggregate, made ud of
broken stone, gravel and sand in vari-
ous combinations, mixed with bitum-
inous material before being placed
in the roadway.
away with the necessity for describ-
ing a road as/one built by the ‘“mix-
ing method,” when reference is made
to one where stone and bitumen have
been mixed, either hot or cold, before
being ‘placed in position. It is
thought that the segregation of
names will simplify methods of ex-
pression, so as to make them more
readily understoed, and also to bring
them in accord with the facts, he
It is urged that a road can only be
considered a macadam road, when
the stones are placed upon the
ground, rolled and a binder applied.
Primarily this binder consists of
stone dust, washed into the crevices
by means of water. Obviously, to
fill up the interstices with bitumen
would make: a “bituminous mae-
adam.”
committee of a fact that this particu-
lar appellation is copyrighted by a
company making patented pavements
as one of its “trade names.” :
Bituminous concrete, on the con-
trary, has nothing in common with
macadam in any way, except that the
same materials enter into its mineral
aggregate. Bituminous concrete, like
cement concrete, is, and must be,
made by a therough mixing of the
materials, to the end that the parti-
cles of the aggregate shall be thor-
oughly and entirely covered by the
cementing material, so that, when
placed in position and compressed,
a dense and solid mass is formed pos-
sessing the requisite qualifications for
a road surface.
Such changes or developments in
nomenclature are the inevitable re-
sults of the progress made possible
by constant experimentation in the
science of highway construction.
They are one of the indices of ad-’
vancement.—Good Roads Magazine.
Support Goed Roads Candidates.
"It is an understood ethical prineci-
ple, that whatever is worth having
is worth making an effort to secure.
In the more terse and expressive lan-
guage of the street, “if you want a
thing, go and get it.”
The action of the Alabama Good
Roads Association, at its recent con-
vention at Montgomery, in appoint-
ing a committee on legislative candi-
dates, is a case in point. The asso-
ciation has decided upon a system of
improved roads, with State aid, and
other progressive ideas. At the Mont-
gomery convention both ef the guber-
natcrial candidates were invited to
express their views on the subject,
and they did so in a manner which
indicated to the members of the. as-
sociation that which ever may be
elected the good roads measures will
be treated favorably by the executive.
The legislature, however, which is
to be elected in November, is as yet
an unknown quantity, The members
to be elected are not even placed in
nomination. It is the function of this
legislative committee to ascertain the
sentiment of every candidate on the
subject of good roads, and report
same to the convention in Birming-
ham in October for action. The plain
intimation is that the association will
assist in the election of those who
ravor good roads for Alabama, and in
the defeat of those who do not.
Good roads advocates in some other
States, who have long been endeav-
oring to secure better road laws for
their commonwealths, might find the
example ‘of the Alabama association
worthy of emulation.—Good Roads

The Steel Car Whesl.
In the development of the solid
steel car wheel as distinguished from
the steel-tired wheel, where the tire
is fastened to a center made of cast.
iron or steel, it has been made the
goal to produce a metal that should
be the equal of the steel tire, and this
has been done. By care in the crop-
pings of the ingots to avoid piping
rand sg regation, by close attention to
heating, and by the use of very power-
ful machinery by which the rolling-
of the tread may be carried on down
to a low temperature, the essentials
of good tire metal have been obtain-
ed. These may be put at a high ten-
-sile strength. and limit of elasticity, a
high ratio of elcngzation before rup-
ture under load, and harness with the:
density of .fine grain. = The chemical
features of low suiphur and phosphor-
us and high carbon are matters of the
furnace and the steel maker, and can,
of course, be obtained as well in an
ingot intended for a solid wheel as
for one that is to be made into tires.
It was ‘the mechanical features that
gave troub’e, added to the necessity
of producing a low-priced wheel. All
this has been done, and a suitable
wheel is. availabie.—Cassier’'s Maga.
