A well-known traveling man was
gracefully poised agalust a New York
hotel register.
"You may not believe mo," he said,
"but when I was down In Kentucky, In
October, I stood ou a bit of high ground
in Breathitt County and threw a stone
into the Kentucky river, then without
moving my feet, though I turned my
body slightly, I threw another stouo
seven miles down the river."
"Rats!" Interpolated a party who had
heard commercial traveler stories be
fore.
"It's a true bill," insisted the narrator.
"It was just seven miles from where
tho first stone struck the water to
where the second one hit, und I'm not
a baseball player, either."
After some discussion the commer
cial traveler held up his hand and swore
to his story, and then explained that at
Jackson, in Breathitt County, the Ken
tucky river swings around a bend for
seven miles and conies back to within
sixty-eight feet of Itself, and a man,
standing on the narrow ridge separat
ing tho waters, can easily toss a stone
into the river to the right or left, thus
making a throw of seven miles up cr
down the river, as the case may be.
This is the true state of the ease.

A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE

When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted

she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor lias made a mistake.
She lias lost faith in him ; hope \nn
ishes; then comes the brooding, mor

Her doctor, if lie knew, should have
told lier and cured her, but lie did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. Ry
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkliam's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass., for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
healtli returned.

powers in all those peculiar ailments
of women. It has been the standby

WOMEN'S VOICES.
Tho voice of the average woman
about us is not pleasant; it is not
round aud ilute-like. A harsh, strident
quality is taking the place ot the low,
soft, rich quality which belongs to
them, and which all might have if
they sought it. One reason is the
lack of proper training as girls grow
up, and another is tho odd habit many
havo of taking each other down, not
waiting for the completion of sen
tences, hut piling up unfinished sen
tences and uncouscionsly raising tho
voico in tho effort to do so.—Detroit

A PLUCKY BICYCLIST.
Au Englishman, now in Washington,
tolls tho Washington Post that
bicycling is even more prevalent in
that country than in this. "To get
possession of the coveted wheel," he j
says, "our young womon havo been
known to make uncommon sacrifices.
The daughter of a clergyman, a very
intelligent and popular }*oung girl, |
quite a belle in a highly respectable !
set, hired out as a waiting maid in a i
part of the city remote from hor home,
and by saving her small earnings man
aged to buy a machine. By tho
merest accident her identity was dis
covered, and tho story was made pub
lic, but the young ludy did not lose
canto by the expose, and her friends
complimented her on her pluck."
now FURS-WILL BE WORN.
This season one has a fine opportu
nity of using advantageeusly ull the
furs, new aud old, in one's wardrobe,
fur tho fashion of combining two kinds
of fur on oue garment, added to the
fact that many furs formerly out of
stylo ure again in high favor, makes it
an easy matter lor the maid who has
kept these valuable accessories of win
ter toilets in some place where moths
did not corrupt. These may bo gath
ered toge'ther, sent to a fashionable fur
rier and returned completely meta
morphosed into wraps both beautiful
and usoful
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, seal
skin and mouffioD, which is light gray
in color, are tho most fashionablo
furs, but all tho cheaper varieties
seem to havo their uses. Chinchilla is
combined with seal this season, and
short capos of sable uroused over long
ones of seal. The fur boleros will be
a useful fashiou for thoso who havo a
small amount of fur to bo trausformed
into a l'rtshiouuble g irment. These ure

THE SMALL IWI3T.
One of New York's leading dross
makers saj's: Tho small waist is no
longer fashionable; I have just re
turned frcu Paris, and the|most mod
dish costumes thero provide for a
waist about twenty-five iuches around.
Of courso the American women, who
follow tho French closely, aro adopt
ing tho now style. Thoso who aro ex
tremely fashionable aro determined to
have a waist twenty-fivo inches, irre
spective of what their normal waist
measure may be. Personally I don't
believe that tho style will bo a becom
ing one, although the gowns will bo
made eo as to make it as attractive us
possible. It will be so much more
comfortable, liowovcr, thau tho small
waist, that 1 think it will he more last
ing than fashions usually urc. The
active, out-of-door life fashiohahle
women arc now leading makes tho
small waist almost au impossibility.
But dame fashion is never altogether
sensible. She particularly offsets her
favor of the largo waist by the discard
ing of tho puffed sleevo-, which every
body will admit are very much moro
com ortable than the tight sleeves
which will bo worn by modish women
this wiu'er. —Demorest's Magazine.
A MOUNTAIN FXIINCB3S.
The marriage of tho Crown Prince,
Victor Emmanuel of Italy, to Princess
Heiene of Montenegro, which has just
been .celebrated, is somewhat out of
the beaten path of royal alliances,
und, indeed, has some admixture of
romance. Prince Victor might havo
chosen a bride from any of tho great
Catholic courts of Europe and received
a royal dowry with her. He turned
| from these and made a love match,
choosing a princess boru amid tho
mountains, unaccustomod to tho splcu
dcr of courts, and whoso only dowry
is a wealth of physical beauty un
equaled in tho world. From one point
ot' view the Prince has choen wisely,
for he himself is of delicate frame,
and an admixluro of mouutain blood
may save his dynasty.
From the Montenegrin sido the
alliance is a great oue, for the father
of thu future Italian queen rules u
domain but little larger than our own
State of Delaware, containing scarcely
200,000 people. Rude mountaineers
that they are, with but few of tho con
veniences and none of the refinements
of modern times, they have a history
which in its relation to freedom is tho
greatest in Europe. No Nation can
point to such a past nor tell such a
tale of battles for liberty gained and
■ kept as that little principality of moun
taineers.
And so this mouutain Princess car
ries with her from Cettinje (The Fal
con's Nest) to the city ot the seven
hills a magnificent and romantic past
and a noblo lineage, while her own
beauty and charm of character will
lend now grace to the Roman court.

The Scaly Ant-Eater.
An animal made of tin-plate, of tlio
shape of an elongated fir cone, about
three feet in length, which crackles
and rustles with every movement, is
one of.the latest acquisitions of tho
Zoological Society of London. Its
name is tho pangolin, or scaly ant
eater, and it belongs to the same fam
ily group as the armadillo and platy
pus. It has excited groat attention at
the "Zoo," for it is—if wo are cor
rectly informed—tho first animal of
the kind which has been exhibited
there. Its home is where the termites,
or white ants, aro found J for the ani
mal feeds on those destructive crea
tures, nnd possesses clows which nro
designed to break down their strong
holds. The claws are also necessary
for burrowing in the ground, for tho
pangolin excavates a cave for himself
and his mate eight feet or so below tho
surfaoo of the earth, and iu this strnngo
homo one or two young nro produced
every year. The pangolin ut present
at tho "Zoo" is fed upon ants and
their eggs, nnd also exhibits a partial
ity for cockroaches roaldod iu milk.
Tho scales with which its body is
covered are hard and sharp ns steel,
and it can give a terribly cutting blow
with its powerful tail. It can roll its
body np into a hall like a hedgehog
when it so wills.—Public Opinion.
Moving a Running Factory.
A remarkable fent which was re
cently accomplished, moving of a fac
tory in which the machinery was
maintained iu operation is described
in tho American Machinist. The shop
referred to is situated in Boston, and
was moved to make room for the work
being done in tho elevatiou of tho
tracks of tho New York, Now Haven
nnd Hartford Railroad. The move
ment of the shop was about three hun
dred feet in one direction and iilty
feet in another, and was effected with
out suspending work, the shop beiug
operated just as if uothiug uuusual
was going on.
The building is of briok, 35J by fif
ty feet, about one-half its length is
three stories his U and the rest two
stories. Electric motors were at
tached to the shafting to supply tho
power, they receiving their power by
wires run from a generating plant
pnt up for the purpose. Tho shop
was thus moved bodily a distance of
350 fcot and kept in operation during
the transition, which was particularly
desirabio on account of rush of busi
ness.
Sea Signaling by Flags.
Tho flags to ha hoisted nt ono timo
in signaling at sea never exceed iour.
It is an interesting arithc-tnoticnl fact
that, with eighteen various colored
flags, and never more than four at a
time, no fewer than 78,842 signals can
be given.—Cincinnati inquirer.
Home Humors or Marriage.
Scarcely a week passes without bring
ing news of some couple who bnve
found It necessary to emigrate tem
porarily generally Into Wisconsin, hut
sometimes Into lutliana, in order to get
married.
It is one of the curiosities of the law
that In one and the same place—here in
Illinois, for example—it arrays all sorts
of difficulties about the process of get
ting married, while leaving the way to
getting unmarried comparatively unob
structed.
Beofre a youthful couple who sigh
profoundly for an opportunity to be
come disenchanted with each other can
enter upon the disenchanting process
they must, If of less than a certain age,
get the consent of their parents and
comply with certain conditions about
license or banns, and all this at the cost
of some money and trouble and cm bar
rassment. It's all well enough. The
law ought to stand guard over mar
riages, only It might well take more
pains to see that they are prudent. It
docs nothing In that way now. But it
pays so much regard to the prejudices
and obstinacy of certain people who are
not directly concerned at all as to drive
the Industry out of the State Into com
munities where the theory seems to be
that marriage concerns nobody but the
contracting pair.
The oddest part of the whole affair is
that parents should persist In the obso
lete notion that they have a right to
say something about It. They ought to
have learned by this time that there arc
somo things which wc can do for others
and some things which each one of us
can do for himself or herself alone.
They ought to have found out that It
Is no more possible for them to choo6t
or reject a wife or a husband for thelt
sou or daughter than it is possible fot
tbem to digest the dinner that 6on ot
daughter may eat.
As to having their consent asked ot
being consulted about the matter In ad
vance, why—that's preposterous. They
should be grateful If they learu about
It In time to provide for themselves
proper wedding garments.—Chicago
Chronicle.
Feared the Bicyelo Fever.
The salesman In the bicycle store
stepped forward to greet the prospective
customer.
"Can I show you anything In wheels
that Is right up to date?" he Inquired.
"Yes," was the reply, "and what's
more, you can sell It to me, If you work
It half way right. I've held out as
long as I could. I've vowed I never
would make a spectacle of myself for
the neighbors to scoff at; but I've
caught the infection. I want to go
spinning along with the rest of tliem."
"Everybody comes around to It In
time," said the salesman, with an en.
couraglug smile.
"I know It. I've seen strong-alnded
men whose Intellects are fitted to grap
plo with tho problems of our social sys
tem get excited In discussing whether
rat-trap pedals are better than the
other kind. And when I find myself
weakening so far as to want to ride
one of tho things I'm worried half to
death pondering how far the attack Is
going. So, before we go any further
with this transaction I want you to
promise mo something."
"We will give you auy reasonable
guarantee."
"Let me feel your bleeps. That's a
pretty good muscle. 1 hope I'll .nevet
have to call on you, hut, as I said,
there's no telling how severely the mal
ady may strike in on the best of us.
What I want you to agree to Is this:
If you ever see me coming up the street
in light-colored knickerbockers and a
red sweater, with a big collar that
folds over the back llko the one on n lit
tle hoy's sailor suit, you are to take a
club, and, without saying n word about
It, chase me right off the bicycle Into
the nearest ambulance."—New York
