Pinkham’s Vegetable Eompourd Just I” In Time. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Jowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “1 can truly say that you have saved my Iife, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. “Before I wrote to you, telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me, My monthly pe- riods had ceased and I sufferad much pain with fainting spells, headache, backache an bearing-down pains, and I was so weak 1 could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, my monthly periods started ; I am regular and in perfect health. Had it not been for you I would be in my grave to-day. “I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to write you for kelp as I did.” When women are troubled with ir- regular or painful menstruation, weak- ness, leucorrheea, displacement or ul- ceration of the womb, that bearing- down feeling, inflammation of the ova- ries, backache, flatulence, general de- bility, indigestion and nervous prostra- tion, they should remember there is ore tried and true remedy. Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles, No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub- stitutes. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She hasguided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Industrious American Consuls. They are always investigating, in- quiring and wanting to know, says the London Post, of American Con- suls. They are not content merely to send the department perfunctory re- ports of official returns of imports and exports or mere tables of figures (although these as malters of rou- tine are not ignored), but they delve into obscure places, they compare and contrast, they offer their advice and suggestions freely and the de- partment allows them full scope. How much the Consul’s report is “edited” before it is made public, or Low of- ten it never is given publicity, no one, of course, outside the department has any means of knowing, but the daily bulletin issued containing these re- ports, which is given .wide and gratuitous distribution, shows that the American Consular corps is indus- trious and intelligent. Panama Hats. Panama. hats are in as good form as ever for the country, and the fact that they have been dfopped by “the great untubbed” has merely served to give them an added fillip toward ex- clusiveness. Of course, no man in his senses would wear a Panama in tecwn. Next to the Panama for the couniry comes the rough straw sailor hat for the city.—Haberdasher. Ostrich Lays Few Eggs.

Very Plain in Some People. ‘A great many pecple go on suffering from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes kis experience, as follows: “I became satisfied some months azo that I owed the palpitation of the lieart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. “I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking. I was at a loss for awhile, what to do. “One day I ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that T con- ciuded to give it a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to begnrepared—by thor- ough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and 1 have used it ever zince. “The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured the heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when 1 dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum I find that Postum Food rs and invigorates while it harmful timulation.” en by Postum Co.

When the panic or 1837 swept over the country the National road was barely half way through Illinois. No werk was done on it after 1841. Two years before, however, a line of stages and post routes had been started from Cumberland in Maryland to Terre Haute in Indiana, from which latter place there was a tri-weekly service for passengers and mail to Spring- field, 11. This marked the first over- land travel from East to West. Pas- sengers and mail bags were jolted along in cumbersome coaches, each with four strong horses. On account of the high rates travel was confined mainly to merchants and lawyers. The passenger, with aa allowance of 50 pounds of baggage, paid at the rate of 10 cents a mile. It is noted that Clay and Lincoln were among the fre- quent passengers. FITS permanently cured.

The Chinese crew also attempted to get ashore; but the customs officers bad something to say as to that. Paradise for the Men. Paraguay would seem to present the smallest chance for woman's rights progress to be found on the earth. In that country there are seven women to one man. Conse- quently the men are petted and taken the greatest care of. Everything that is unpleasant or risky is done by the women. The streets are cleaned, ships loaded and the oxen driven by them, and they even go to war as substitutes for the men. It is only an application of the ‘law of sup- ply and demand, and scme lazy men will probably think it a beneficent cone. Chestnuts a Paying Crop. The boys may be interested to know that chestnuts prove a very profitable crop. Experts claim that an orchard of chestnuts will bring greater returns to the owner than an apple-orchard of the same size, as the nuts led: on the street corners. at about six dollars a bush- el, w talian who sells roasted chestnuts receives pay for them at the rate of at least ht dollars a bushel.

Weather Irregularities Give Slight Check to Business in Some of the Agricultural Districts. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather irregularities provided the only check to business, partly through the direct effect of re- tail distribution of seasonable wearing apparel, but more through the devel- opraent of caution among traders in scme agricultural sections where crops have been damaged or farm work retarded. On the whole, how- ever, encouraging progress is shown in most trade reports, and industrial activity is unabated. The special jobbing dry goods sales attracted a large attendance and results surpass- ed expectations. Textile manufactur- ing is in a better position than at any ecent date, the strength of the raw materials giving additional firmness to finished fabrics. Footwear fac- tories in New England are well en- gaged, and there is no reduction in the forces at work in the various de- partments of the iron and steel in- dustry. Aside from the Chicago strike, there is excepticaally little fricticn between capital and labor, many higher wage scales going into effect this week. Traffic returns are well maintained. railway ezrnings for April exceeding last year’s by 10.5 per cent. and lake mavigation ' is heavy. Foreign commerce at New York alene for the last week shows a gain of $3,159,534 in value of nerchandise imports over the same week in 1904, while exports increased $1,768,488. Coke prices are depressed by unpre- cedented production, but consumption is ca a scale that precludes the possibility of any excessive accumu- lation in the near future. Duplicate orders for woolen goods are appearing in moderate volume, but this textile fabric awaits returns from clothiers. The few reports re- ceived thus far are satisfactory, the firm position of the raw material pre- cluding the possibility of price con- cessions. i Failures this week in the United States are 212. against 204 last week, 204 the preceding week and 207 the corresponding week last year. Fail- ures in Canada number 22, against 15 last week, 21 the preceding week and 27 last year. MARIETTE, PITTSBURG. Grain, Flour and Feed.

The British author, in his days of struggle, knows what it is to have kis manuscripts returned with the formula, “Declined with thanks.” The struggling French author is accustom- ed to the stereotyped phrase, “Im- possible, mille regrets.” But how much better they manage this affair in the Far East! What does a Chin- ese editor say about the MS. he is re- turning? “We have read it with in- finite delight. By the holy ashes of our ancestors we swear that we have never seen so superb a masterpiece. His Majesty the Emperor, our exalt- ed master, if we were to print it, would command us to take it as a model, and never publish anythiag of a less striking quality. As we could not obey this order more than once in 10,000 years, we are compelled to sand back your divine manuscript and beg a thousand pardons.” British edi- tors aad publishers please copy!— London Chronicle. Queer Mexican Superstition. Buckets of holy ater were sprinkled about their homes by resi- dents of Don Toribio street who saw two brothers fighting, and believe that it portends to calamitous ap- pearance of the Wandering Jew, who will come aad bring misfortune to all unless scared away by the holy water. Whenever two brothers dis- agree and come to blows, it is said, | the Wandering Jew shortly appears | and asks for room and board in some family living in the street, always re- paying his accommodations by caus- ing the death of some member of the family.— Mexican Herald. A Babyless Domain. Sixteen thousand babies were born in New York in the last four months, and of these fewer than 10 began their existence in tne millionaires’ district on Fifth avenue, so Register of Vital Statistics Gilfoy reported the other day. He has made a cen- sus of the births in the city and nnas that Fifth avenue has the lowest birthrate of any street in town. The heaviest birth rate is on the Eastside, near Division street, where the con- ditions are the reverse of what they are on Fifth avenue.—New York American. Private Car Lines, The railroads seem very, willing to have the private car lines brought un- der the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A railroad President is authority for the state- ment that lines are paid mileage, with- out discrimination, and the question of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage paying has been de- cided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property. Togo’s Appearance. Frederick Villiers, the English cor- respondent writes as follows of a meeting he had with Admiral Togo on board the latter’s flagship: “The great man had a pcculiar way of standing with both hands spread out on his hips and arms akimbo. I took a sketch of him in this position, and then I found a most amusing coin- cidence: His officers, from the chief of his staff down to the middies, all aped their beloved chief and stood with their arms and hands in the same attitude.” No Safety for Fruit Trees. Venturesome amateur gardeners may set eut geraniums or other exo- tics before that time, the practi- cal and experienced will bide their time. So far, loss may be saved by exercise of good judgment, but as to fruit trees there is no remedy save in selecting northern exposures for orchards. The tree in the yard or garden is too large to protect by ar- tificial means and must take its chances.—Louisville Courier-Journal. = Fast Time With a Heavy Train, rawing a vestibuled train of ten cars ghing 1 050 pounds, one of the Eric's passenger locomotives of the acific type, attained a speed of 71 miles an hour, on a grade of feet to the mile entering Port Jervis, on her trial run from Jer City. A speed of 61 miles was maintained on a level stretch and 27 miles on the climb over the hill from Middle- town, where the grade runs from 58 to 61 ne L P. a feet to the mile. The locomotive and tender weighed 389,750 pounds, c¢ ing | 8500 gallons of water and 16 tons a coal, and 1s the largest passenger engine ever | built.
