whai you mean by Unit t
"Von must be awaio that women, by their
very nattuesaro subject to troiililes and af
llictlons unknown to tiio sterner sex. The
name of those troubles is legion, hut in
whatever furiu these troubles may come, they
alo weaknesses which mlerfeio with their
ambition and hone in life. I In liovo thous
ands of noble women are today siilfering
agonies of which oven their hi st mends ami
ri lathes know little or nothing, and when I
rellect upon it, I confess It makes mo sad.
Now all this misery arises largely from an
ignorance of tho laws of life or neglect to
caiefully observe them. I speak from the
depth of a hitter cxperietuo in saying this,
and I am thankful I know tho menus of res
toration and how to leinaln in perfect
health."
"Please explain morn fully."
"Wei1, I have found a remedy which seems
spcei, II y adapted for this veiy purpose. It
Is pure and palataiilo and eoutiuls tho health
anil hfo as, 1 believe, nothing else will. It is
really invaluable, and if all the women in
America wore, to use it, I am quite uro most
of tho hiill'oring and many deaths might be
avoided."
"What is this valuable leniedy V"
"Warner's Safe Cuio "
"And you use it f"
"Certainly."
"And heme be'ieve you will bo able to go
through the coming. season successfully V"
"I am quite certain of it."
As tlio writer was retiirn ng home, ho fell
into a train of muing and wondered if all
tho women in this land who aio hollering
could only know Mis liranger's experience,
and thu leinarkiible results achieved by the
pure remedy sho used, how much sull'ering
might be avoided, and how much happiness
.secured.

Why is it every sarsaparilla
which tvies to sell itsolf, ranges
itself against Ayer'a as tho stand
ard ? Why is it that all havo to
offer extra inducements bigger
bottles, fancy wrappers, cheaper
price anything, everything, but
the one inducement of quality ?
has novor boon equaled by any
cheap imitation of it, and quality
tolls, just as blood tells.

" I liavo sold Ayer'a Rargnparilla for more
than twen'y-fivo jcars, and have never
heard anything hut word? of praise, from
my customers ; not a (unfile, complaint lias
ever reached me. A preparation must
possess preat merit to maintain such a repu
tation. I helievo your sarsaparilla to be
the best blood purifier that has over been
introduced to tho general public. I often
hear other manufacturers say that this is
"as good as Ayer's," but no ono ever yet
hcird it said that Ayer's was "as Rood' ai
any other kind. They always set Ayer's up
as tho standard of excellence." S. i

TORPEDO WAS USED.
(Continued from Klrst I'ngc.)
tlio opinion ol the majority Is that tno
question will bo easily settled by the
simple observations of the condition of
the ship s hull plates In the neighbor
hood ol the hole which sunk her,
whether or not they nte bulged out, as
would be the case If tho explosion came
from the inside, or whether they weio
driven In, ns would result from the
attack of n torpedo or thr explosion of
a mine beneath the ship.
The large majority of naval officers
are Inclined to the belief tlint the ex
plosion resulted from spontaneous com
bustion of a coal bunker, the over
heating of the Iron npartments between
the boilers and magazine, r from the
explosion of n boiler, though the last
theory llnds little support.
The naval constructors. In the light
of tho dispatches thus far received, say
that It Is by no means certain that the
Maine cannot be raised nnd ngaln car
ry the flag-. They say that while sho
Is a blfr ship others as large have been
raised, nnd at Havana the new float
Ing drydock would receive her If she
could once be gotten ubove the water.
It Is said nt the navy department
that this disaster Is the greatest of the
kind In naval history since the sinking
of the big British warship Victoria by
collision with the Camperdown in the
Mediterranean, off Malta, June, 1S03. By
that accident the British admiral com
manding, 22 officers and 33G men lost-
their lives.
Tho Spanish legation was early ad
vised of the horror by Captain General
Blanco, who expressed his profound re
gret. nnd added that tlio occurrence
was n chance accident, the undoubted
cause being nn explosion of the boiler
of the dynamo. This was the only
specific cause assigned from an official
source during the day.
The disaster is remarkable in that
only two officers lost their lives, and
these were of Junior grades. They were
Lieutenant Friend Vi". Jenkins and As
slstant Engineer Darwin B. Merrltt
The former was unmarried, but leaves
a mother nnd sister. The latter, It Is
thought, also was unmarried, but the
department was unadvised concerning
ils family.
Senator retklns, of California, who
has been a navigator all his life and
knows thoroughly every detail In the
construction and handling of great
ships, said: "I cannot conceive that
such an explosion as that which Is re
ported to have wrecked tho Maine
could have resulted from an accident
The chances, it seems to me, lire ODD
In I.OUO that the calamity did not result
from accident. Tho ammunition on
warship is fixed nmmunltlon, which Is
not in contact with anything at all
likely to produce an explosion. The
discipline of both officers and men on
the Maine, ns well ns on every other
vessel, Is such that the explosion could
not have been caused by any action
of any one of them. By the simple
pressure of nn electric button any
magazine on board the vessel could be
instantly submerged, and no fire could
gain such headway as to endanger any
of the magazines without discovery
That It was due to treachery I am con
vlnced."
