7 Women Obtain. Mrs. Pinkham' Advice and Help. ha Bu Guided Thoaiands to Health. ow Lydia K. Plnkham'a Vegetable Com pound Cured Mr. Fred Seydel. It Is a irreat . satisfaction for a woman to feci that 1 she can write to I anothertcllinifher I the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a wo man only, a wo man full of sym pathy for her sielc sisters, nnd above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female Ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pink ham every year, some personally, others by mail, nnd this has been (fo lng on for twenty years, day after day. Snrely women ara wise In seeking advice from a woman of such experi ence, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con fidence of women, and every testimo nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred tteydel. of 412 North S4th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " Over a ynar ago I wrote you alotW asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your kind letter of Instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in con sequence, but have a beautiful baby Kill. I wish evBry snfl'erinx woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have dona so much for me.1 Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substi tute which a druggist mar offer. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass , for special advice. It is free and always helpful. A Royal Cobbler. King Edward is said to have worn shoes of his own manufacture.

There hns been a .great .eul of dliu ppolntment bemuse the Umllcltl re port shows that the profits of the pack ing industry only nntouut to about two per cent, on the volume of business transacted. There Is no doubt, how ever, tlint fie report is correct. The census reports compiled by the Government In 1!K)0. before the agita tion regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this ques tion. It appears from the census that the packing Industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry In America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent, on the vol ume of business. The grosR margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third ns large, or a little more than two per cent, on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," nnd combina tions would seem impossible in a busi ness where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the (lour trade, but It ap pears that the gross prolits of the mill ers are larger than the gross prolits of the packers. It may turu out that the agitation regarding the packing indus try will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squeal and no wool." The Wooden Pavement Revival. It is interesting example of the tendency of things to move In cycles that New York is turning back to the use of wooden blocks for pavements on some of its streets of heavy truf fle. The wooden pavements of 30 to 40 years ago proved so ephemeral that they were discarded for asphalt and then for stone blocks. The newer wooden pavement is thought to have somewhat more enduring qualities, but the great argument In its favor 1h ono too often ignored in selecting pavements, namely, the minimum of noise.

Noon and High Noon. Some explanation for the confusloi. In people's minds as to the right definition of afternoon may be found In the old confusion between noon and midday. Noon, of course, was originally at 3 o'clock in the after noon if the "bull" be permitted the hour when the monks said their "Nones" or noon song. The reason that It was put back to 12 o'clock may lie In the fact that the monks were not allowed to eat their dinner until after they had said Nones; for in time they anticipated the service, and their dinner, by saying Nones immediately after the midday ser vice, and that is probably how mid day came to be called noon. In the old almanacs noon Is generally marked as midday and high noon as at 3. London Chronicle. Women's Voice. Women spend years in learning to play a musical Instrument, In polish ing their manners uud In studying the mysteries of dress and fashion, yet their voices are- left uncultivated, though on these depends in highest degree the charm of social Inter course. Go into a drawing room or a dining room crowded with women and the din of the vocal discord is dis tressing. Yet all this Is conquerable by education, and the conquering of it ; one of the most important func tions of education. The musical in strument most carefully to be culti vated is the human voice, from the earliest chlldLood to maturity. New York Sun. IN COLONEL'S TOWN Things Happen. From the home of the famous "Iteyh- nel Keeyartnh, of Cartersville," away down South, comes an enthusiastic let ter about Postum. "I was in very delicate health, suf fering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hardly sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis continue the use of the old kind of cof fee, which was like poison to me, pro ducing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for It that I could not get my own consent to give it up for some time, and continued to suffer till my father one day brought home a pack age of Postum Food Coffee. "I had the new food drink carefully prepared nccording to directions, and gave it a fair trial. It proved to have a rich flavor and made n healthy, wholesome and delightful drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly improves it. "My health began to Improve as soon ns the drug effect of the old coffee was removed nnd the Postum CoITee had time to make Its influence felt. My nervous troubles were speedily relieved and the sleep which the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to soothe nnd strengthen me after I had drunk Fostum In a very short time I began to sleep better than I had for yean before. I have now used Postum Coffee for several years and like It bet ter and find It more bcDcQclul than when I first began. It Is an unspeak able joy to be relieved of the old dis tress and sickness."

Sweet skim milk from the cream separator is worth a good deal more for pigs than when it becomes stale. It should be used in mixed shorts, ground oats, or cornmeal, for best re sults. It is very digestible, taxes the system to a minimum, and produces a pound of growth for an exceedingly small quantity of dry mutter. 1 tests carried out by experiment sta tions one pound of grain was obtained for every 10 1-2 quarts of sldm-mllk when fed alone, but where the milk was fed in cssueiatlun with middlings, making an ideal food for young pigs, decidedly better returns were re ceived for the milk. It makes them grow more rapidly than any other feeding. Currants and Blackberries. The currant, during the hot summer weather, is a most healthful and ac ceptable variety of fruit. Large, fine fruit and none other Is wanted or will readily sell. They want the best of cultivation. Fay's Prolific nnd the Cherry are both good varieties, and will produce large fruit if properly tm.ted. Fay's New Prolific Is rich red in color, as compared with the Cherry it is equal in size, better In flavor, with much less acid, and is five times as prolific; while, on account of Its peculiar long stem, 1 Is much more readily picked. The bhiekberrv Is the most easily grown of the small fruits, and yet one that is grown more under negieci muu Thp kinds which are hardy and give general satisfaction are the Snyder, Agawam and Wachusett Thornless.

Cutler in uie Massachusetts Ploughmnn. Fattening Fowls by Machinery. fowls for the market by means of machinery, on first thought to most people seems ridiculous, hard ly more so, however, than the hatch ing of chickens by means of an Incu bator a few years ago. The incuba tor has come to stay, and the chicken feeder, although an innovation, has found a place in some of the largest poultry yards. Modern genius in re cent years has affected the poultry farm just as decidedly as it has the dairy or the stock farm, and Its prob lems have offered a wide field for scientific study. It is claimed that chickens fattened by machinery comprise sweeter and tenderer meat than those fattened in the ordinary way. Fowls are fed In this manner for two or three weeks prior to killing, and In that time in crease In weight from two to three pounds. The chickens are not al lowed exercise in this time, and are allowed no other food than that which is received from the machine. The feeding is done twice a day, and one man can feed three hundred chickens In a day. It is a patent liquid food that is fed in this manner, the ingre dients of which, of course, are known only to the maker. The food is forced through a tube by means of a suction pump, which In turn is operated by a foot pedal. The tube, which Is about ten Inches in length, reaches through the chicken's mouth into Its crop. When the crop Is -full the flow of liquid food stops instantly, and the chicken is not in jured in the least. This feeding by machinery is done chiefly In the prep aration of roasters for the market and for finishing the fattening of broilers. Indianapolis News. The Farm Chunk. This Is the time of year when the greatest demand exists In the great markets for agricultural horses. Such animals otherwise known as farm chunks sell at prices ranging from $00 to $115 or $125 on the top. They are bought by farmers outright or iy deal ers who run them out Into the coun try, where there Is a shortage of team power and sold at public or private gale at a profit. They are not large. Most of them are not really large enough for profitable farm use. Mares are generally preferred to geldings and bring the best prices, the Intention of the purchasers being to breed them. Nevertheless, many small man geld ings are each spring bought for farm consumption. AVe cannot see where there is any money to be made using geldings on the farm, save as a pre liminary to selling them. Mares do just as much work and will breed at the same time. A gelding returns nothing but the work he does for his purchase price and the feed put Into him." Of course, the geldings cost less money, but Is there real economy in buying a thing because It Is cheap when a profit can be made on the ex penditure of a little more money and none from the purchase of the cheap article T We know that the wise farm Garden er Is he who buys as heavy mares as his purse will allow. No farmer should buy a mare weighing less than 14"0 pounds and 1500 or 1000 pounds Is far better still. It does not take such a great deal of money to buy a pair of 1600-pound mares. They can be got for from $300 to $350, perhaps for as little as $280 or $290, and Btire ly there Is more real economy in such a purchase than in paying $250 or $200 for a pair of mares weighing 1100 or 1200 pounds each. The added amount of work done will make am ple interest nnd the first foals will far more tluin make up the purchase price. Breeder's Gazette. Twig Glrdlers, Frequently complaints reach ento mologists regarding Insects that glrdlo the twigs of fruit and shade trees, as well as shrubs and flowers, causing them to drop to the ground. There are several kinds of glrdlers, but the species doing the greatest amount of damage lu known as Oucideres elngij laltis. The femnle punctures the branch, generally near a leaf bud or axil, and there Inserts nn egg. The writer has picked up twigs about three feet long and containing 13 eggs. The egg Is a flatllsh white object which is push ed through the puncture and thrust from one-sixteenth to one-third of an Inch downward between the wood and bark. It is after egg-laying that the female gnaws a groove around the punctured branch. The twig dies and the young larvae when hatched feed on the dead wood. Sooner or later these girdled twigs fall to the ground and in them the larvae become full grown, change to the pupae, and final ly escape as the adult beetles. The adult Insect Is a robust beetle, about eleven, twentieths of an Inch long, of a brownish gray color, with dull reddish spots and a broad, red dish band across the middle of the wing covers. The feelers or "horns" are longer than the body. As the Insect completes Its trans formations In the fallen branches, the best method for subduing it Is to gath er these fallen twigs and burn them. This should be done In winter or early spring. It is sure to get most of the insects, and It Is the season when the farmer flni: most time to do It. There are other insects called "prln ers" that tiiack the branches of fruit trees in a similar manner, but they rarely become Injurious enough to command attention. Instead of gird ling the twig like the glrdlers, by be ginning on the outside, they begin on the inside. By examining the cut sur face the intruder can be recognized before he a seen. A. F. G., In South ern Fruit Grower. A Wonderful Tree. The most marvelous tree In the world growi In Brazil. It is called the carnahuba palm. The description giv en of It seems Incredible. In no oth er region of the globe Is a tree to be found that can be employed for such varied and useful purposes. It resists intense and protracted drouths, and Is always green and vigorous. Its roots are useful medicinally, while Its stem afford strons, light fibres, which acquire a beautiful lus tre, and se.'ve also for joists, rafters and other building materials, as well as for stakes for fences. From part of the tree vinegar Is made. It yields a kind of sugar, as well as a starch re sembling t;ngo. In period of famine caused by pro tracted drouth, the nutritious sub stances obtained from It are of Im mense benefit to the poorer classes. Its fruit is used for feeding cattle. The pulp has an agreeable taste, and the nut Is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee. Of the wood of the stem musical In struments, water tubes and pumps are made. The pith Is an excellent sub stitute for cork. National Fruit Grow er. Unchanging Circus Rings. Amid a great hubhub the old circus man sat on the grass In the sunlight, smoking a pipe and directing the mak ing of the rings. "Circuses," he said, "have develop ed, evolved and changed. From the one ring of the past they have grown to three rl igs, plus an elevated stage, and there are many other improve ments. But In one particular there has been m change since time began, and that Is in the dimensions of the ring. A eircus ring is always the same Blze 42 feet 9 Inches In diame ter. Go where you will, you will nev er find a circus ring with different dim ensions from that. "A bareback rider can ride best In a ring of this size. All riders train in such a ring and all horses are train ed In such a ring. There would be trouble for horses and men If the size of the ring should be changed. It would he like changing the size of the baseball dlumond, only worse." Min neapolis Journal. Pie's Wooden Partner. The wooden pie plate has come and will doubtless stay.

St, Louis Post Dispatch, The NallnnHl Aid t'ropoattlon. HEN what is known as the Brownlow Good Bonds bill was first offered in the House of Itopresentntlves It was regarded by some as proposing a .dangerous in novation In our economic affairs, but when studied In the abstract it is found to be strictly within the line of well-established precedent and clearly written constitutional limitations, (lov ernment aid to good roads was entered upon under the auspices of President Jefferson, who sef forth the policy with great spirit. Had not the author ity been In the Constitution, it would not have had his sanction. There is nothing In the Constitution inhibiting national aid to good roads. There Is abundant authority In the Constitution for such aid. The doubt about Ibis no longer exists. The paramount ques tion nt this time Is, have we in tb? I'niled States satisfactory highway conditions; are the means of common! cation between town and country ade quate to public necessity; are the high ways creditable to our advanced Intel ligence and civilization; do we need better roads, ami can they be had in any other way than by national nld, by Government co-operation with the Stales? Every Intelligent being within the bounds of the Union knows that the average wagon road is for perhaps six mouths of every year a community horror and n State and national shame. It Is just as well to use plain speech In dealing with practical facts. When carefully collected statistics show that only five per cent, of the wagon roads are good, we know by the s:ne token that ninety-five per cent, are bad; and the questions just nsked are answered nt once. Can these unhappy condi tions be corrected by the States? There are all the years of State experience in road making to prove the negative. Since the earliest organization of the States the country has experimented with roads under local systems, and yet the average wagon road to-day Is but little better than when first blazed out In the forest or laid along the plain. It Is tills that has convinced advanced thinkers that effective road construc tion in the States is only possible through Government aid and eo-operti-tlon. The reasons for this are not far to seek. Good roads roads that will last can only bo built upon scientific plans. There are but four or five States In the I'liion wealthy enough to Inaugurate such n plan. If scientifical ly constructed roads will benefit the counties they will benefit the States and Nation. This is n self-evident de duction. Then there sliiuid be co-operation of the Government with the States and counties. Another thing; The Government owns property In all the States upon which it pays not one cent of taxes. It has taken charge of the public roads for the transaction of its rural mall business, upon which it places fixed charges upon the people who built these roads without its aid. It ought In mere Justice to lie willing to help better the roads for its own uses, even If it had no concern in the welfare of the people. In addition to its postoflices. custom houses and court houses in all the States and Territories, tiie Government possesses lands, parks and other nroncrtv. It has a direct in terest in the advancement of every community, nnd the reciprocal obliga tion of Government is to protect nnd foster tiie natural Interest of each in dividual. These obligations will not be fulfilled until the Government as sists lu Improving the public roads. If it is proper for the Government to nld In the Improvement of its water courses for the extension of commerce which courses must ever carry a small percentage of the total commerce of the Nation then, It Is surely the duty of the Government to nld In the Improvement of the land, or primary, means of transportation over which ninety-five per cent, of all products must be moved before it readies a rail way or steambont. The proposition for Government aid to good roads is right, and we hope to see it enacted into law, as it will be if the people ke?p after their Senators and Bepreseu. tatives in Congress. Rnall.h Road., What good roads they have In Eng land! Look at the piles of broken stone for repairs, stored In little niches nil along the way; see how promptly nnd carefully every hole is filled up nnd every break mended, and you will un derstand how n small beast can pull n heavy load In. this country, nnd why the big draught-horses wear long and do good work. A country witli n fine system of roads Is like a man with a good circulation of the blood; the labor of life becomes easier, effort is reduced and pleasure Increased. From "A Day Among the Quantock ITills." by Dr. Henry van Dyke, in Scribner's. A Pntliello Morr, A pathetic story of the war is told by a Japanese correspondent at Kobe. Feodor Chesnetzky, a young Russian soldier, was taken to the Red Cross Hospital at Matsuyauin riddled with shrapnel. All his limbs were ampu tated, and after the operation, to the amazement of the doctors, Chesnetzky lived for eight months, lying quite helpless. He was attended by Nurse Kawnguchi, and he became so much attnened to her that ho would cry like a child when ho could not see her. Her devotion -aud tenderness were such that she scarcely left him for eight months, aud she was with him when be died. w ii SI Any country aome, , store, hotel, church or building can be as brilliantly and conveniently lighted as a city house.
