Arthur Hill and Joseph Schroda of
"The Wizard of Oz" company chanced
to drop in at a small shooting gallery
In Providence last week, where they
spent an hour peppering the bull's
eye and winning innumerable cigars.
Tho place was presided over by a
pretty girl and a decrepit old man
man whom she called ."Father." As
Arthur Hill does not indulge In the
pernicious smoking habit, he handed
back all the cigars he won for his un
erring aim and said to the girl, "Give
them to the old man."
The next day Hill and Schrode
were strolling past the same place,
and they noticed that the girl was on
duty alone, but the old man was miss
leg. "I guess father smoked them," re
marked Hill, laconically.
The present population of Great Britain
and Ireland ia about 42.730,000.
PAINFUL PERIODS
Suggestions How to Find Relief from Such
Suffering.
jfiMissJVelite Holmes ft MrxTillie Hart t$7 Jj
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it docs not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua
tion is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de
rangement of the whole female organ
ism. More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
ful and irregular menstruation.
It provides a safe and sure way of es
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con
vincingly what Lydia E, Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of 640 N, Davl
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Your medii'ine in indeed an Ideal medicine
for women. I Buttered misery for years with
painful period, headache, mid bearing-down
pains. I consulted two different physicians
but failed to got any relief. A friend from
the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. I dirt go, and
no longer suffer as 1 did before. My periods
are natural -every ache and pain is gone, anil
air general health is much Improved. I
adviae ail women who suffer to take Lydia
Ja. nnunanvs Vegetable uompouiia."
Mrs. Tlllle Hart, of Larimore, N. D.,
writes:

Howl Specialization In Manufacture
Reduces Cost of Production.
When Edison first made the small
Incandescent electric lamps, consist
ing of a carbon filament fixed by plati
num wlrea In a pearshaped glass bulb
from which the air had been exhaust
ed, the cost was $3 each; now there
are many million similar lamps of bet
ter quality made each year and sold
at less than twenty cents each.
Formerly watches were made by
hand and were costly luxuries; now
they are made by machinery In lots
of a thousand at a time and the cost
of a new watch that will keep fairly
good lime Is less than the cost of hav
ing an expensive watch cleaned.
The same principles apply In all
linea of manufacture, and It has been
found that reduction in cost of produc
tion, due to specialization in manufac
ture is naturally followed by Increas
ed demand, for the simple reason that
each successive reduction brings a
new class of consumers or purchas
ers Into the market, and a commodity
which was regarded as a luxury of tho
few when the cost was relatively high
becomes a necessity of the many
when the cost is reduced to a suffi
ciently low level.
Optical Convention.
An optical convention will be held
In London the latter part of May,
under the presidency of Dr. R. T.
Glazebrook, F. R. S. The object of
the convention Is to bring into co
operation men Interested In optical
matters. A sub-committee has been
appointed to consider the subjects of
papers on optical questions which
should be broiiBht before the conven
tion, and suggestions as to subjects
for discussion will be welcomed. It
has been decided to organize an exhi
bition, of a scientific character, of in
struments manufactured in this coun
try. England, with a view to show the
progress recently made, and to stimu
late further efforts.
Vegetable Compound sooner: for I have tried
so many remedies without help. 1
1 areauea tne npproncn oi my menstrual
nArind avnrv month, aa It meant so much rjain
and suffering for me, but after I had useu the
Uompouna two monttu 1 became regular ana
natural and am now perfectly well and free
from pain at my monthly periods. I am very
grateful for wbat L,yuia J. rinnnams vege
table Compound has done for me."
Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound stands without a peer as a
remedy for all the distressing ills of
women.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound rests upon the
well-earned gratitude of American
women.

ular, suppressed or painful menstrua

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Trade Re
view" says:
"Good news still predominates in trade
and industry. Easter business is of
large volume; dry goods, clothing, foot
wear and all lines of wearing apparel
reporting an unusually good demand,
and shipping departments are taxed to
their full capacity in many cases. The
country as a whole is experiencing more
settled weather, which is reflected in a
better retail distribution of merchandise.
Jobbing trade in goods for Fall de
livery is broadening, and there is mors
inclination to prepare for the future.
Manufacturers report less idle machinery,
the iron and steel industry leading with
an unprecedented output of pig iron,
vrt consumption is also above all records,
for there is no accumulation at the
furnaces.
A few labor controversies arc threaten
:d, but none are of sufficient magni
tude to materially check progress, even
if ixpccted settlements arc not attained,
for the number of hands involved is
comparatively small.
Reports arc somewhat conflicting as to
mercantile collections, but improvement
should follow the liberal distribution of
funds in starting agricultural work.
Treasury shipments of small change to
the interior largely exceeding the amount
in transit a year ago.
Car blockades are few, owing to the
favorable weather, although traffic is
very heavy, as shown by railway sarn
Ings for the first week of April, 10.9 per
cent, larger than last year.
Failures this week numbered 214 in
the United States, against 225 last year,
and 20 in Canada, compared with 16 a
year ago.

DANGER IN THE OYSTER.
ftuconltnt Blvalv Proliflo Producer
of Olaeas.
There la probably no one artlcla of
food, except raw milk, which Is o
freuently a cause of disease, and some
times even fatal Illness, as Is the oys
ter. The outrttlve value of the oyster
Is very small. It takes fourteen oys
ters to equal one egg In food value,
and more than 250 oysters to equal a
single pound of beef In food value.
This Is due to the fact that the oyster
consists chiefly of water, the balance
being mostly llvor and germs. The
oyster lives upon the ooze and slime
of the ocean bottom. TypholA-fevel
germs, and other disease-producing or
ganisms are tidbits for the oyster,
and millions of them aro always found
In the oyster's stomach and the mu
cous, or slimy Juice, In which the oys
ter Is always bathed.
Another paper recently reports the
death of the Dean of Winchester from
typhoid fever, as the result of eating
oysters at the mayor's banquet In
England. The result of this death,
according to a wholesale oyster dealer
In England, has been the falling off In
the consumption of oysters to the ex
tent of 75 per cent; that Is, that there
Is orjly one oyster eaten now where
four were eaten before these facts
became public. Oyster merchants and
persons engaged In the oyBter busi
ness generally, In England, are com
plaining that their business Is ruined.
Within three or four days after the
death of the Dean of Winchester, the
oytter trade fell off at Emsworth from
five thousand to nothing.
Several similar epidemics have oc
curred In England, and a few In this
country, in which fatal cases of ty
phoid fever were traced directly to the
use of the oyster. ,
The oyster Is a scavenger, and ab
solutely unlit for human food. The
Idea that It Is more digestible than
other foods is In the highest degree
absurd. In addition to the germs with
which It always swarms, the oyster
contains a large amount of uric acid
which can not be gotten rid of by boil
ing, or by any other means.

It Is stated In Washington that un
der the Townsend rate bill If a rate is
died by the commission it cannot be
lowered by a railroad. Should an
emergency arise calling for a decreased
rate tho railroads or shippers would
have to appeal again to the commis
sion, there being no latitude nllowed,
whatever the circumstances. Hitherto
a maximum rate has been the rule, but
