It is usually this way: She has been feeling ‘‘ out of sorts’ for some time; head has ached and back also; has slept poorly, been quite rervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart-beats very s fast; then that bearing-down feeling, snd during her menstrual period she is exceedingly despondent. Nothing pleases her. Her dostor says: * Chess up: you have dyspepsia; you will be all right soon.” i ’ But she doesn't get “all right,” and hope vanishes; then come the brood- ing, morbid, melansholy, everlasting BLUES. \ ! ¢ Don’t wait until your sufferings have v driven you to despair, with your nerves all shattered and your courage gone, oe but take Lydia E.

She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — “1 cannot tell you with pen and ink what dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound done for me. I sufferod with female troubles, extreme lassitude, ‘the blues,’ nervousness and that all gone feeling. Iwas advised to try Lydia E.

Of course you know that water boils when heated to a temperature of 212 degrees. No matter how much heat you may apply to it then, the tempera- ture will not be raised, but the water will only be the more rapidly turned into steam, for that is what boiling does. There is a way, however, in which you may raise the temperature of water above 212 degrees, though most persons would tell you that it is impossible. To make the test and prove it, you will need a small chemical thermometer, that is, one without a tin case. These are sold at a moderate price in the stores, or, if you prefer, you can con- vert an ordinary thermometer into a chemical one by carefuly seratching the divisions of the scale on the glass tube with a file, and then removing it grom the tin case. If you will fit it in a tin case, so that it will float in the water without touching the bottom or the side of the vessel, it will be com- plete, like those that are used for tak- ing the temperature of baths. When you have your thermometer, boil some water for fifteen minutes, and then let it stand until it cools. Then keeping it perfectly still, heat it again, and you will find that the tem- perature will go a few degrees higher than 212, without causing the water to boil. If you will now drop some piece of metal into the water, it will at once begin to boil. The explanation of this is that the air is expelled from the water when it boils, and the water with air in it boils more quickly than water without air in it, so that, at the second boiling, a higher temperature is reached before boiling begins. When you drop the scraps of metal into the water they carry air with them; Dbe- sides, they reduce the temperature of the water to the boiling point. Another experiment may be made by putting some salt or sugar into water, and then boiling it; you will find that it will take a higher temperature than pure water, for the reason-that some heat is required to separate the salt or sugar from the water before the latter can be converted into steam. You may in this way prove for yourself the de- gree of heat for boiling various sub- stances. Still another interesting experiment consists in boiling some water in a iglass flask; then, while it is boiling, cork it tightly, and remove it from the flame. When it stops boiling in the flask, pour some cold water over the outside, and it will begin tc boil again. Or plunge the flask into cold water and the same thing wiil happen. You may be able to do this several times with the same flask. The explanation is that in a corked flask of boiling water there is some steam above the surface of the wager, and the appli- cation of cold water causes this steam to condense, which at once removes some of the pressure from the surface, causing it to boil, as the bubbles of steam can then escape. These experiments are all interest- ing and instructive.—New York Even- ing Mail. ROSETTA POPE'S SCHOOL. “What are you doing?” It was Rosetta’s uncle who asked the question. Rosetta looked up with a laugh. “I'm playing school,” she said. Uncle Leonard came near, and gazed at her row of pupils, first in wonder, then with an amused smile. “You have some very famous schol- ars,” he observed. : A dozen or more “Author” cards were ranged on chairs before her, and each card pictured the face of a man or a woman prominent in literature. “Is Tennyscn at the head or the foot of the class?’ he inquired, his eyes twinkling. “Oh, at the head!” Rosetta answered. “I don’t know what other people think, but I rank them first just as I like them, and then if they don’t recite well they have to go down.” “Pray what do they recite?’ her un- cle asked. “Spelling and geography 7’ “Of course not! They recite from their own works—here are the les- sons!” and she laid her hand on a big pile of books at her right. “Do you admit visitors?” “Qh, yes, sir! Mamma often comes in. That's the visitor's seat,” point- ing to great armchair. So from the other side of the room little Jncle Leonard watched the small teacher and her renowned scholars, “Lord Tennyson will please recite his New Year's poem, beginning: “ ‘Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky.” Whereupon Rosetta selected a book from the pile, and keeping her finger in the place, recited the lines with very little hesitation. “Well done!” praised her uncle. “Thank you,” said Rosetta, Dblush- ing. The next card bore the face of Alex- ander Pope, and the teacher said: “Mr. Pope, you may recite two lines from your “Essay on Man,” and again Rosetta spoke for her pupil: “ ‘Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the hon- or lies.” Then she turned to her uncle with a smile. “I can’t understand much of his,” she explained; “but seeing our names are the same, I thought I'd have to put him in somewhere, and he's learned those lines so well, he stays up near the head.” Uncle Leonard burst out laughing, but was checked by Rosetta’s warning finger. “Mr. Cowper, please give us the first and last verses of ‘John Gilpin.” Rosetta began bravely enough: “ “John Gilpin was a citizen Of credit and renown; A” Silently she puckered her forehead, and then said, in a voice supposed to be stern: “Mr. Cowper, you may go to the foot!” adding to her uncle, “I never can remember that, but I like it.” “And how often do you have this sort of thing?” asked Uncle Leonard. “Oh, whenever I get lonesome. I guess I'd rather have you talk to me now,” and with one sweep of the hand she gathered her famous pupils into a pack, and tossed it on the table. “Tell me about Cousin Maud, please!” she coaxed. “One thing about her is that she is lonely most of the time, we live so far from neighbors. I think I'll buy a set of ‘Authors’ on my way home, and tell her about this school of yours.” “Oh, do!” cried Rosetta. “And then when she comes down here next sum- mer we can play it together, Mamma likes it, because she says it teaches me so much.’ “I should say so! I shall have to coach Maud at first: she doesn’t know one author from another.” “Neither did I till I learned,” said Rosetta.—Emma C. Dowd, in Youth's Companion. WHAT THE TOWEL SAID. The front door stood open and through it came a little breeze, a sweet breath of honeysuckle and clover, It brought the sound of merry voices, for school was out and the little folks were on their way home. Dick came rushing in and threw his arms about his mother as he met her in the hall. “Now, run up and wash your hands, Dickie, boy,” said mother, “and brush your hair.” “Oh, why do I have to? I'm clean enough,” said Dick, crossly, looking at his hands. Mother caught them as he tried to put them behind his back, and Dick couldn’t help laughing as she sang: “Qh, where are the ten little, clean little men, To lunch with me to-day?” “I really didn't know they were so dirty, mother,” Dick said, when he came down stairs again. “They are all gentlemen, though, and have put on their clean coats to take lunch with the ladies.” Mother and Dottie laughed, and so did little Madge. When mother tucked Dick in bed that night she said: “Dick, I have given you a clean tow- el, and please don't let your little men leave any advertisement on this ore.” “Why, mother, what do you mean? How can they? What kind of an ad- vertisement?” “Well,”.explained mother, “after you had dressed for dinner to-day I saw something that wasn’t English on your towel, and yet I could read it very plainly. It said, ‘Dick’s hands are clean; I did it’ I'll bring it in and see if you don’t think that is what it says.” Dick thought very hard, and when mother came back holding up the tow- el for him to see, a little smile came creeping out of the corners of his mouth. for one end of the towel was very dirty. + “Mother, dear.” exclaimed Dick, “my little men made a mistake and put their coats in the wrong place when they were coming to dinner with you, I'll see to it that they don't do it again.” And he snuggled down into the pillow with a happy little chuckle as mother kissed him good night.— Eleanor Sutphen, in The Sunbeam.

Dry Cultures Which Produce It Now Shipped to Farmers by the Department of Agriculture. An interesting and very instructive pamphlet has been issued by the De- partment of Agriculture on the value to the soils of the country of legumi- nous vegetables, or those which bear edible beans. It seems, according to the work to which reference has been made, that they play a very important part in the general scheme of fertility, although for a long period their value has been questioned, and by some sci- entists repudiated. * Nitrogen being the most important element in crop production, the primary object in investigating the conditions which appertain in plant culture is to determine the most practical manner of supplying nitrogen to the growing plants without detracting from the other elementary qualities of the soil. Plants of the leguminous family, when grown in contact with certain bacteria, form upon their roots small nodules, known as “nitrogen knots.” These knots play an important part in supplying the plants with nitrogen, which is gathered from the air. The experiments of the Department have been, therefore, directed so as to ascertain and devise some practical method of bringing about the artificial introduction of the necessary organ- isms into soils which were naturally devoid of them, and at the same time attempt to reconcile the vast amount of conflicting evidence regarding the exact nature of the organism, where the nitrogen is fixed, and similar prob- lems, A process was finally discovered by which dry cultures of the nitrogen- producing bacteria were made and pre- served, and these are now. packed and shipped to any part of the world. The Department of Agriculture is pre- pared to send instructions in their use to farmers.—Washington Star. In a London Court Room. The Judge—“What did he engage you to do?” Witness—*“The girl.” Judge—*“But what is a Gibson girl? 1 do not know what it is.” (Laughter.) Witness—“A type of American girl.” Mr. Powell—“I think there is an art- ist named Gibson who stands as M. Du Maurier used to stand here, and he has drawn some attractive ladies who are called Gibson Girls in America.” The Judge—*“Oh, is thatit?’ (Laugh- ter.) Mr. Powel!—“I may be wrong.” The Judge said it might make a lit tle difference. He did not know whether people engaged for a piece are all engaged precisely on the same terms. For instance, whether the person who plays Hamlet was engaged on precisely the same terms as the person who was employed to say “My Jord, the chariot awaits.” — London News. part of a Gibson Brain Work and Longevity. It begins to be understood by stu- dents of vital statistics that mental activity, instead of being an exhaust- ing process tending to shorten life, is in the highest degree conducive to lon- gevity if not complicated by excesses or intensified by the uncompensated friction of worry. In a case lately on trial in London involving damages for softening of the brain, attributed to an accident for which a corporation was responsible, this subject was very fully ventilated, and some of the most ac complished experts in England gave testimony. A consensus of opinion seemed to show that all alienists are agreed that the best way to keep the brain in good condition is to use it to the safe limit of its capacity.—New York Times. Councilmman’s Struggle With a Carp. A Councilman and carp had a battle royal at a mine hole known as Buz- zard’s Bay, in the outskirts of the borough of Freeland, Luzerne County, recently. The Councilman was Adam Sachs, and the carp weighed 14 7-8 pounds. When hooked the carp made a des- perate fight for its life and the Coun- cilman had several narrow escapes from being pulled into the water and drowned. The big fish got tired out before the Councilman did, however, and the lat- ter is now able to tell the biggest fish story of any man in Freeland, and ex- hibit the carp to silence the skepti- cal, into the bargain.—Frecland Trib. une.

A Shipment of Turtles.
