She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician is at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have Wen con fiding their troubles to Mrs. IMnkham, and whose advice has broupfh happi ness and health to countless women in the United Ntates. Mrs. Chappell. of Grant Tark. 111., whose portrait we publish, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink ham's advice and use I.ydia E. rink ham's Vegetable Compound, as they cured her of inflammation of the ovaries and womb ; she, therefore, speaks from knowledge, and her experience ought to give others confidence.

Karly In the year, just ns spring dawns, n pair will begin to build n nest, or ratlier to scrape one out of the ground. The mnlo bird rests his breastbone on the ground and kirks the sand oelilnd: when one side Is suf ficiently deep he turns, and n round hole about three feet In diameter and one foot deep Is the result of his exertions: occasionally he Intimates to the female that help Is required, and they take turns. The hen forthwith begins to lay an egg every day until twelve or fifteen are located side by side In this hole in the ground; they scatter n little sand over the eggs to protect them from the tierce rays of the California sun; this habit has doubtless led to the suppo sition printed !n many ancient natur al histories that the eggs of the os trich are hatched by the gun, unaided tiy the birds. As soon ns the full number of eggs are laid the couple share the labor of hatching; the male bird setting on the etrprs from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 0 o'clock the fol lowing morning; and It may be under stood with what skill this Is per formed when it Is understood Hint pounds of ostrich Is bearing down upon fourteen eggs; at ! o'clock the hca takes his place. The male ostrich, however, with reninrknhlc Intelligence, relieves the female fur nn hour In the middle of the day while nlie goes in search of the necessary nourishment. A pnlr will follow this regime with the greatest regularity for about forty days, when the eggs are hatched. Colorado Springs (inzetre.

An Incident of the Knrly Days of the Ilrltlah Qaeen. John Exton, a wealthy merchant of this city, an Englishman by birth, once had an Interview with Queen Victoria 'without knowing it. It wns near the close of the '30b and Queen Victoria had been on the throne but a short time. Young Exton and his brother Adam were playing near a stream that flowed through their native town one day, when they saw a matronly look ing woman approaching, accompanied by a beautiful young lady. They ap proached the boys and engaged them in conversation, both of the ladles stroking their hair In a kindly way. John and his brother had with them a lamb whose fleece was of snowy white ness, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The elder of the ladies asked John how much he would sell the lamb for. Drawing himself up to his full height, John said that the lamb was named Victoria and thnt nobody could have her but the aueen. "And can the queen have her?" ask ed the lady. "Yes," said John. The ladles seemed to be greatly pleased with his reply and before their depart ure the younger of the ladies slipped a coin Into the hands of the boys and made them feel for the time being among the rich men of England. A short time after that Incident a gentlo man called at the Exton home and said the queen desired the lamb Vic toria, and it was given to him, but not without receiving ample compensation. An official of the town explained to the Extons that the ladles wore none other than Queen Victoria and her mother, who were going out among her people In disguise. Chicago News. Led a Varied Career. Ex-Congressman George Wlllard, who died at his home in Battle Creek, Mich., the other day, was born In Bol ton, Vt, and at the age of 12 went with his parents to Michigan, where In turn he became student, teacher, minister, professor, member of congress and editor. Ho was rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church at Kalamazoo for two years, but resigned from the min istry because of the conservatism of the society. For ten years he was re gent of Michigan university, and it was largely his influence that opened the doors of the Institution to women. He was elected In 1872 to congress, where be served four years, bis most notable achievement wstng a vigorous speech against the "tmrce bill" that waa not relished by many of his Re publican colleagues. Mr. Wlllard es Ubllshed the Battle Creek Journal in 1872, and managed the paper up to the time, of his death. SCIENCE AND INDU3TRT. The mil Wns si Counterfeit. In a well-known New York restau rant the other evening a youth who had Just eaten a substantial meal, as sisted by a very pretty girl, was stam mering and blushing at the cashier's desk. He had Just discovered the loss of his pocketbook and money, he said. His watch was gone likewise. The cashier, being suspicions of all man kind, received the tale scornfully, de manded Instant satisfaction and threatened to call a policeman. The youth seemed on the verge of collapse and the lady was about to faint when an elderly, well-dressed man bustled up to the desk. "How dare you ac cuso this gentleman of being a swin dler?" he demanded, wrathfully. "I don't know him myself, but I am sure he Is honest." Then, handing over a new $10 bill, the elder Samaritan paid the check himself and hurried out. The grateful youth ran after him. "Oh, thank you," he gaty'L, "lot IUu have your card and I'll send you the money in the morning." "Nevor mind, dear boy," replied the elderly one, as he boarded a cable car, "don't take the trouble. It was a counterfeit." Ruaaell Sago ns a Hnmorlst. RuBsell Sage, the New York multi millionaire, has never been exploited as a humorist, yet he la not devoid of the sense. His Yankee ancestry re appears In his face, figure, speech and thought. Once, when Manhattan Ele vated stock went below par, someone asked him his age. He smiled, an swered and added: "But, like the Elevated, I propose to go above 100." To an impertinent friend who asked what was the most philanthropic way of using a large fortune he replied: "Keep It constantly active, in order to give employment to the largest number of human beings." When be gave Sage hall to the Troy Female seminary someone said: "Why don't you present it to some men's college?" Mr. Sage responded quickly: "The women needed it the most" The Popular Carnation. A carnation mania baa taken hold of flower buyers. At a conservative esti mate it required 500,000 carnations to supply the demand in New York city during Easter week. These flowers sold from 85 to 60 cents a doien for the inferior kinds to f 5 and 16 a dozen for choice varieties. At least $76,000 waa spent by New Yorkers to satisfy their liking for these flowers. A new species of mountain sheen haBbeen found In Alaska. It Is known as the "saddle-backed" or "piebald" sheep. Its head, neck and breast are of a snow white. The other portions of the body are brownish gray. At a high altitude, where the air Is rarefied, water bolls at a lower tem perature than It does at a lower place. Tea Hnd coffee cannot be made, nor can vegetables bo cooked by ordinary rules, because the water bolls at such a low temperature It will not cook food. Water must boll st tho tem perature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit to do the work. A submarine electric are light will soon be experimented with to aid In the sponge fishery off the coast of Florida. At present, the sponges are obtained only from a comparatively small depth, as the sponge fishers at present can only see to a limited dis tance by the aid of water, and If this distance could be Increased, larger areas would Immediately be opened up where sponges have been growing un molested for years. Recent reports from Dr. Sven Hedln, who Is again exploring Central Asia, strengthen the Impression which his previous explorations have given of the extraordinary character of thnt part of the world. Salt lakes, dried up lake-beds, abandoned habitations and temples nnd Interesting people, hitherto almost unknown, are among his discoveries. He also reports that the Tarlm river In Eastern Turkestan, which he has surveyed for a long dis tance, is the largest river In the In terior of Asia. Over a part of Its course tho river Is simply a multitude of small Interchained lakes. Light travels from Jupiter's satel lites nt the same rate as it does from our gas lamps. A few years ago, says a London newspaper, a star suddenly came Into sight, burst Into first order brightness, and then In Ave or six weeks died out of sight. Difference of opinion existed between spectro seoplsts like Hugging and Iockyer, as to what It meant, but there was gener al agreement that what we saw was something that happened In the time of Queen Elizabeth, only that the light had taken 300 years to reach us. It was the "latest news," In fact, from that part of the heavens. The rate of transmission no one questioned. It Is well known that the sun ap pears larger when It Is near the hori zon than at its meridian transit. M. Relmann has determined the ratio of the two comparing the apparent diameter of the sun seen through a colored glass with the apparent slzo of a hole In a piece of pasteboard at a distance from the eye. and finds that the apparent diameter of the sun on the meridian at an altitude of 55 degrees Is to its apparent diameter at setting as 1 to 3.32. The true dia meter does not vary, and hence thes numbers have only a physiological meaning and show that the form of the celestlnl vault conceived by us Is that of a flattened ellipsoid. The ap parent diameter of the sun Is sub stantially proportional to the length of tho ray which traverses our atmosphere. Tnml ns Metllrtne. "Out of the queer use of a common creature regarded as most potent In old-time medicine there came the most surprising and nearly the most Im portant of Inventions. Every scho-il-boy knows that a toad can cause waits or make the cow give bloody milk, but not everybody knows that toads are also powerfully medicinal. It Is a fact. Martin Luther says so. Theao are his very words: 'Experience has proved the toad to be endowed with valuable qualities. If you run a stick through three toads, and, after having dried them In the sun. apply them to any pestilent humor, they draw out tho poison, and the malady will disappear.' Pope Adriau always carried a bag about hlB neck containing dried toad, pearl, coral, gum tragacanth, smaraged and other articles of Junk. It was n that kept him up. And lest you flint that they only did that hundreds ol years ago, I want to say here that. When my father was a boy and suffered from quinsy they UHed to tie live tt i; about his throat.

Climate and Cntt.iiinptton, Dr. Lannelongue, In a recent com munication to the French Academy, gives the results of a rather novel se ries of experiments, to determine the effect of climate on tuberculosis. He injected a number of guinea pigs with human tuberculosis. Theso were then divided Into three lots. One group was kept In the laboratory In Paris, another sent to tho seashore and a third Into the Interior. Tho animals were fed and cared for In exactly the same manner at all three stations, and the action of the virus and progress of the disease carefully recorded In each case. The experiment was repeated soveral times, with some varieties of the two outside stations, and In every caso the animals left In the laboratory gave the best results; that Is, resisted the disease for the longest period, and more of them remained alive at the end of the test. This result may be considered to Indicate either that the climate of Paris Is a good one for con sumption patients, or what seems more probable, that the exposure and excitement Incident to travel and new surroundings has an unfavorable ef fect on the disease.
