How He Happened to Burn It.
Many Interesting neighbors drop In
and chat with Mark Twain when he
Is at "Quarry Farm," his summer
home near Elmlra. A small boy turn
ed up not long ago with his hand
wrapped in a bandage, Mr. Clcm-ns
Mpressed concern and . asked the
cause.

STOP, WOMAN!
AND CONSIDER
THE ALL
IMPORTANT FACT
That in addreas
ing Mrs. Pink
ham you are con
fiding your prWate
ills to a woman
woman whose experi
ence with women's dis
eases covers a great
many years.
Mrs. IMnkhara is the
daughter-in -law of
Ljdla E. Pinkham,
and for many yoars
under herdirection,
and since her de
oesse.she hoe seen
advising sick wo
men free of charge.
Many women
suffer in silenee and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that
they ought to have immediate assist
ance, but a natural modesty impels
them to shrink from exposing them
selves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a wo
man whose knowledge from actual ex
perience is great.
Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are in vi ted to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman ; thus has
been established ti;e eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the ast volume of
estperience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
rained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She sks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advlos has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
, If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham. Lynn. Mass., for special advice.
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
yon cannot well say, without trying it,
I do not believe it will help me."

"Words cannot sprak highly enough for

years of age. My system had
been all run down. My blood was so bad
that blood poisoning bad set in. 1 had
everal doctors attending me, so finally 1
went to the hospital, where 1 was laid

were almost beyond recognition. DarU
blood flowed out of wound in many places
and I was so disheartened that 1 thought
surely my Inst chance waa slowly leaving
me. As the foot did not improve you cau
readily imagine how I felt. I was simply
disgusted aud tired of life. 1 stood this
pain, which was dreadful, for six months,
and during this time 1 was not able to
wear a shoe and not aole to work. Some
one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con
sequences were I bought a set of tte Cu
ticura Remedies of one of my friends, who
was druggist, and the praise that 1 gave
after the second applieaticr is beyond de
scription; it seemed a miracle, for the Cu
ticurs Kemedies took effect immediately.
I washed the foo with the Cuticura Soap
before applying the Ointment, and I took

Million Bushela of Wheat Wasted.
"During 1905." writes George It
Metcalfe, M. E., In the March Tech

of the United States ordered new loco
motives to the number of .300, to
gether with 3,300 passenger cars 'md
340,000 freight cars. These last f!s
ttrcs give a good Idea of the relative
importance of passenger and freight
traffic to a large railroad. The rail
mills started the new year witn ord.j-.-s
for 2,500,000 tons on their books.
'In spite of these great orders, and
tn spite of the best efforts of the rail

MUCH BETTE.H THAN CASCADE.
Farmer Knew o'f More Interesting
"Show"- Than the One Sought.
: Several years ago William L. Doug
las Bpent a Bhort vacation with some
friends In New Hampshire. The first
morning there found him taking his
usual long wnllt. He bad heard his
friend talking of Wilson's Cascade.
Just four miles from there, so he de
cided to walk In that direction. He
had gone about two miles when he
saw nn old man sunning himself in
Ihe doorway of a great barn which
stood near the road.
"Can you direct me to Wilson's Cas

The old man squinted his eyes and

right and follow It till you come to a
fork where there's a clump o' black
berry bushes," he said, slowly, "then
strike on to the left. Go on till you
come to the next crossroad, and then
bear off to your left again. When
you've gone a piece on that road you'll
come on Abe Simmons' house. You'll
know him, because he wears plaid
overalls, green and blue plaid, and she
makes 'em for him. You can't keep
from laughing when you set eyes on
'em, I'll wager.
"Excuse, but I have only so much
time,'' said Douglas; "will Mr. Sim
mons direct mo to the cascade?"
"I presume to say he can," he an
swered, "but after you've seen those
plaid overalls a little mess o' water

Dust on the Ocean.
"To talk of a 'dusty' ocean highway
sounds absurd, but the expression le
perfectly accurate," states a writer.
"Everyone who Is familiar with Rhlps
knows Hint, no matter how carefully
the decks may be washed In the morn
ing, a great quantity of dust will col
lect by nightfall. You say, 'But the
modern steamship, burning hutulredf
of tons of coal a day, easily accounts
for such a deposit.' True, but the
records of sailing vessels show that
the latter collect more dust than a
steamer. On a recent voyage of 8
sailing vessel a Journey which last
ed ninety-seven days twenty-font
barrels of dust were swept from the
decks! The captain was a man ol
scientific tastes and made careful ob
jervatlons, but could not solve the
mystery. Some, no doubt, comes from
the wear and tear on the sails and
rigging, but that accounts for only a
small portion. To add to the mys
tery, bits of cork, wood and vegetable
fiber are frequently found In this sea
dust. Where does It come from?"
Thimble Collecting.
One of the queerest fads among the
tipper classes Is the collecting of the
thlmbleB of women celebrities. One
of the finest of these collections Is
that of a London society man, whe
has a cabinet full of the dainty finger
shields of the maidens he has loved
and lost; while Mrs. Vanderbilt re
joices In the possession of a veritable
thimble of that excellent needlewom
an Queen Elizabeth. This is the gem
of her collection, although the lattei
contains a solid silver thimble worn
by our queen when a girl of fourteen,
and a substantial "finger-shoe" of no
less a person than the mother of out
king. London Tit-Bits.

process, he will see some ten or twelve

will gain some notion of the magnitude
of the world's work. Then, when be Is
told that this one concern, leviathan of
the trade though It is, does not produce
ten per cent, of the world's output of
steam boilers nnd engines, he will be

throughout the world.
The product ot this one plant, which
builds every type nnd size of horizontal
steam engine, affords nil interesting
study of mechanical evolution. The
balanced slide-valve, the shaft gov
ernor, the rotating, or Corliss valves,
self-olliug devices, compound cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible improvements. The
built-up connecting rod, the removable
bearings, improved piston construction,
stronger anil lighter designs of bed,
more intelligent designing of all recip
rocating parts, better selection of ma
terials and more accurate workman
ship throughout nre some of the things
that differentiate the engine of to-day
from that of half a century ago.
The changes in boiler construction
have not been so numerous, but they
have been quite lis marked. In the out
put of this one concern can be found
evers size nnd type of boiler, from the
little horizontal tubular of fifteen
horse-power, to the new Alius wnter
ttibe, which purllles its own water,
superheats its own stenin and gives the
highest elliciency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.
How Auto Speed Ha Increased.
The great object sought by this
rapid development of the motor has
been attained In a sensational degree.
The Increase during the past ten years
would be almost Incredible wcer there
not figures to prove it. In 1S95 the
Pai ls-Bordeaux road race was won by
a 3-horse power automobile wltj an
average speed of 15 miles an hour. In
3897 the winning automobile, and 8
horse power machine, covered the 9'i0
miles of the Paris-Amsterdam traoa
at 2$ miles an hour. In 1899 the
Paris-Bordeaux race was won by a 12
hoise power automobile going at. 30
miles an hour. In 1901 the Paris-Bordeaux
race was won by a 644-horse
power machine with an average hour
ly speer of 50 miles an hour the same
course that was covered six years he
fore at 15 miles an hour.- The In
crease in speed since that time, though
great, has been more gradual. The
winning car in the Vanderbilt Cup
race the most important held in Amer
ica, averaged slightly less than 62
miles an hour for the 283 miles; It
was of 80-horse power, but in the
same race there were cars of 120
horse power and one of 130. Amer
