4 1 finrniTHftnmi (S Hospitals In our great citieB are sad places to visit. Three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds are women and girls. Why should this be the case ? Because ther have neglected themselves. Every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back. All of these things are indications of an unhealthy condition of the ovaries or womb. What a terrifying thought ! these poor souls are lying there on those hospital beds awaiting a fearful operation. Do not drag along at home or in your place of employ ment until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an examination and possible operation. Build up the female system, cure the derangements which have signified them selves by danger signals, and remember that Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from the hospital.

"It Is a fitshlon, I know, among city folk to ridicule the country pitper," inyg a reformed traveling man, "but I have been a regular subscriber to the Unlouvllle Banner for over thirty years. There s one evening In the week that I look forward to with et. Tbnfs Monday night, when I light my old pipe, put on my slippers and lie back in the battered rocker for a mus Ing and A dreaming ovj?r my copy of tne Manner. "Yes, there It Is. Hasn't changed a font of typo, I guess. In forty years Same old, queer Job type. Same old Washington press still grinds It out I'll bet, as It did when I was a freckled boy and used to hnng around the front door of the tumbling rookery where snowy-balred Editor Moore used to bo p'cklng up the typo or methodically scratching down the fact that 'Miss May Smith Is visiting friends In our neighboring burg," or 'John Loftus Is preparing to build a new barn. Most of the lumber is already on the ground.' "I turn to the front page first, of course, and here, In my 'Local News, I ascertain that 'Miss Ella Stuart has quite a class of music pupils here In town and .also conducts a class In Pat tousburg. Miss Stuart has a good quality of musical talent.' Why, dear me, dear me; don't It beat all how things do move! . Why, I used to go to the high school in L'nlonvllle wltb Ella Stuart's mother. And many n time I bung May baskets with her and then huug over the old white paling gate and held ber band until an omiu ous raising of an upper window Indi cated that a parent of Ella's mother desired the daughter's presence with In. "And, let's see! Why, here's some thing: 'Walter Thomas has been to the city this week, laying in a new stock of goods. Teter Kigel is helping out In The Emporium during Walter's ah sence.' Well, It Is surprising how some boys'll come up in the wond in spite of poverty and distress. Know who mat waiter Thomas Is? Well, sir, he s the grandson of old Tap Thomas, as we used to call him, who used to live away down there by the railroad in that little hut of a place, and bad a cabbage patch all around the bouse. Desolate a looking place as you ever saw. "Pap was sort of hnlf-wltied and bad a son who I should say was fully three-quarters witted. A peaceable. law-abiding well-digger ITe came to be. Married a real blight girl, really con siderably above the average, and here their son's become the leading mer chant In Unionvllle! This Peter FIgel Is a relation son, maybe of an old foreigner who settled down In Union vllle and earned a living at cobbling. Said to be of noble Mrth he was, and mysterious generally. "I shouldn't know the faces that would greet mo on Main street, I sup pose now.. Most of 'em come up since I wus a boy. I wonder who really has made the truest success, the boys who stayed at home or those who were go ing to conquer the great world out side. There were my schoolmates who married and settled down In Union ville, and their sons nnd daughters are to-day's young men and women. I wag going to do such big things when I struck the city that I couldn't exactly make up my mind to take time to come back and court Susie Williams. I kept putting it off and putting it off until I should get a Utile better and a little better position until, first thing I knew, Phil Kerns up and married her nnd I was left. So, that's how it Is, and bless me If I don't wonder sometimes as I muse over the old Ean ner If the boys who stayed at home have made such a miserable failure of it after all. "So, I read along to ponder over the memories that those quaint items in the 'Local News' call forth. Well, you may poke fun at the couotry weeklies as you will, but I fail to see why the fact that 'a resident of Unionvllle has lately bought the place of another resi dent of Unionville, and intends to move into it,' may not be as well worth chronicling in the local paper of Union vllle aa the fact that the dog of a fa mous actress died on the steamer Is worth two-column pictures and a half-column description in city duillcs. Blamcd'f I can see much difference in merit between a poodle dog editorial in a city dally and 'a big cabbage Just laid on the desk of ye editor' of a coun try weekly."

The supply of water obtained equalled only one quarter of the amount necessary, and iu order to obtain a greater sup ply two charges of Jovelte, a new ex plosive, wero discharged by William J. Brown, an expert In its use. Both charges were set off simultaneously by an electric battery, and a column of water eight Inches in diameter was thrown to a height of 300 feet. Many curious things came up from the bot tom of the well, including three curi ous fish. They wero about eight inches long and had neither bead nor tall, both ends being alike. They could swim as easily backward as forward and wero not provided with eyes or mouth. There were several smull ori fices at each end of these curious fish. When they came down with a shower of stones from the top of tho column of water they bounded repeatedly many feet In the air. One was cap tured by a Polander, who, curious to see its interior, struck It with a dull hatchet, but made no Impression what ever upon the flnli. although he killed It. One Is still alive in cupltivity. New York Sun. Cow Worship In Africa. Two short marches brought us to a loug pool of still water. Here we found another' braneb of the Magois, who called themselves Katua. To my surprise I discovered these people to be cow worshipers aud to Indulge In certain rites which were supposed to be peculiar to the Hindoo religion. The origin of this cow worship is presum ably the same with the Katua at with the Hindoo, traceable to the great de pendence placed upon the animal for sustenance. Tho Katua eat the cow, but all their people turn out when the beast Is killed and go through much teiemouy. They would not sell iu le cow. Geographic ,1 Journal. CHANGE OLD NAMES. afaaf orlfot Bo In 1.1 fa nrs Cadtsr Mew Atlas. lhe clerk of tha city court mads public the names of seventy persons who changed their names In legal form in the year 1900, says the New York Evening Post. Most of the original names are of palpably foreign extrac tion. As a rule all reasonable requests for change of name are granted. They are then filed away, the petition giv ing the avowed reasons for change and the Judgment passed upon It by the court A glance at the records and the rarlous name changes gives rise to considerable speculation as to the real cause ot dissatisfaction. Why, one wonders, should a name of such aristo cratic twang, as Waldemar Ruthyar be cast aside In prefonce to the hackneyed title of Henry Smith? On .the next page of the records Is the reverse of the question of high-sounding names, where one finds tho somewhat plebeian cognomen of Gumbinfky changed to Von Tllzar. What evidence of nation ality remains In the name of Jay, un less It Is discovered to be a corruption of Jacobowsky? There scarcely could be any greater effacement of a family name than to substitute the noncom mittal Blank for Polanger. Sebastian Bibo Is lost entirely In Frank Walter and Roricka becomes the American ized Rose. Many changes result from family quarrels, when another family name Js taken in place of the legiti mate one. Often the wills of eceentrl? relatives demand a change In the name of tho beneficiary, without which no legacy can be obtained. Occasionally debt or Imprisonment has brought the name of some nerson Into such dtara- pute that a new name Is sought for which a new reputation may be built. In the case of foreigners who have be come American citizens the stiff con sonants of Russia, Bohemia and Po land prove too much for our Anglicized tongues and a change Is really neces sary. Under this reason come such changes, no doubt, as Chmelicck to Luhan, Neugroschel to Rochelle, Yu zukjlan to Yuzuk, and Rothmovltz to Rockmore. ttttvts- n Final There Is an end to acute suffering when St. Jacobs Oil promptly cures Sciatica We make t specialty of mince meat employ the best skill use the best materials.

Deadly dangers lurk In the ground left baro by the departing snow. All Winter long there have been accumu lating deadly disease germs. These have been protected and kept alive by the covering of snow and now. with tho first warm days, these death-bringing microbes are awakened by tho ravs of tho sun, and as the ground dries they arc carried to all corners of the community in the dust that is blown everywhere by the Spring winds. The human body at this time Is par ticularly susceptible to these germs, especially the gcrmn cf fevers. Tho system has been dopleted by the fore going Winter. Tho blood' Is shigslBh and filled with Impurities. The nervos have not recovered from the tension they have been under for tho past months. The stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, the liver are all at their worst. It Is, therefore, not strange that these germs of disease Tlnd fertile ground In which to thrive, flourish and develop Into deadly ills. Spring Is the time of year when one should fear an attack of fever, espe cially when tho system is dcpleted.one should dread any severe Illness. The vitality Is at a low ebb. There Is less power of resistance to throw off di sease, and It Is cn ttls account that fatalities are so much greater during tho Spring months than at any other time of the year. There Is but one way to vard off such dangers, and that is to fortify WILLS PILLS BIGGEST OFfTr EVERMTfJt7 For only III Onu we will wml to anv P.

It will build you up quickly, it will re-establish your waning appetite. It will give you roRtful nights of sleep. It will give vim and vigor to the nerves, and It will dispel all existing poisons that have accumulated in the body besides counteracting tho effects of others that may accumulate. Following is an instance that will illustrate the wonderful power of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Sheriff Jonas T. Stevens, who Is shertf of Hyde Park, Vt.. says: "I have used .Or. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy especially as a blood purifier. I bad a very severe humor on my arms, accompanied by a very bad Itching, so severe that I could not sleep nights, causing me great lncon venlence by the loss of sleep by the itching. A friend advised me to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which I did with the most satisfactory results, for the trouble has entirely disappeared, and I can now ret comfortably nights and have none of my former misery from the burning, itching sensations."
