MRS. PETERSON'S STORY. I have suffered with womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlargement and displacement of the womb. The doctor wanted me to take treat ments, but I had just begun taking my h\:sband stantly, also headache, and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times choking mc. I could not walk around and I could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast 1 would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. I was so weak I could not do anything. I have now taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink ham's medicine had not helped me.— MRS. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St., Warren, Pa.

An important source of heat in th* body is du<' to the friction of the blood as it circulates In its vessels. All ol this resistance, which is overcome by the heart, is transformed directly into heat. We may calculate the amount approximately. If we suppose that 18C j ccs. of blood are expelled front the left ventricle at each stroke, under a pres sure of one third of an atmosphere, this j would correspond to .0102 kilogramme- I metres at each stroke, and at 72 strokes a minute, this would give 44.3124 kilo gruramemetres per minute. If we sup- j pose that t lie right heart does one-quar | ter the work of the left, or about 10 kilogramme-metres per minute, we ; have for the total work per minute \ 54.312 kilogramme-metres, which cor- j responds to 128 calories per minute. This is perhaps a rather high esti- j mate for ordinary conditions, but where the heart is forced to pump a 1 much larger quantity of blood in order to maintain the normal temperature, j this estimate is probably much exceed ! ed at times. Since this friction takes j place largely in the most constricted portions of the circulation, it would be j natural to expect that the blood which ; had been driven through the capillary | system of a gland would issue much warmer than it entered, and such we find to be the case. Thus the blood of the hepatic vein has been observed to be 40.73, while that In the right heart wns 37.7. In the muscles no contrac tion can take place without an in j creased flow of blood through them with a simultaneous constriction of the capillaries, which would naturally give rise to a considerable production of heat—a fact constantly observed.—San- ' itarian. The Sequence Car. Freight car numbered 12345 of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad passed through Darlington, j Fawtuckeit, one day last week on the branch railroad. What that ear con tained, where it was from, or where it j was going is of no consequence. The i number of the ear, 123-15, is all that is j of special interest. This number on freight cars is the fortunate number to find. A few years ago, and perhaps until to-day, commer cial travelers and whoever else was traveling much, or was much about the railroad, were all the time looking for this magic number, in the belief that to see it was a good omen, and wonder- , fill were the stories told of the good fortune which fell to those who were so happy as to see it. It is a simple j matter, and yet it is not often a car with this number comes into view. It Is very likely that had any other par ticular number been chosen it would have been as difficult to find It. A gentleman who saw this car last week had been looking for If eontinu ally for more than half a score of years, and during that time had traveled thousands of miles, but his eye had never been blessed with a sight of it until Tuesday. He is not so supersti- [ tious as to fancy that his fortune is to change because he lias seen the cat wi't-h this number, but his curiosity is gratified after so long a search.—Provi dence Journal. A Famous Pistol. Capt. Wm. P. Hogarty, of Kansas City, Ivan., has in his possession an old dueling pistol which was originally owned by Josef Maria Graf von Dunn, who was commander-in-chief of the j Austrian army during tlie Seven Years' War, and one of Austria's greatest heroes. The pistol is in an excellent state of preservation, although it has been little used since its owner in 1757 | drove Frederick the Great from | Prague and forced him to evacuate Bo hemia. Josef had two of these pistols, and after his death one passed to each ' branch of his family. William Theodore Maria von Dann, a grandson, who was banished from Austria in 1848, brought one of them to America, nud before Ids death at Quindaro, a few years ago. he gave it to Capt. Hogarty. It is in laid with gold and silver and artistic ally carved. Capt. Hogarty prizes it I j very highly. He is himself something of a military hero—having been decor ated by Congress for his" distinguished bravery in the battles of Antietam ■ and Fredericksburg—hence it Is a j pleasure to him to own a pistol which ! was carried by such a great military character as Josef Maria Graf von j Dann.—Kansas City Star.

World ain't like It used to bo—colder skies in May; Summer ain't so sweet to me: The little one's away! Wish the birds n-singing eould roach the ones that roam; Wish the sweet bells ringing oould ring my darling home! Bit here in the sunshine, solemn-like, and see Morning-glories peeping in where once she used to ho; They loved her little window, with the blossoms and the lights; Gave her glad good mornings, kissed her sweet good nights. Bit here in the darkness, when no winds tho maples stir, And hear the Silence siuging a sad, sweat song of her; I know the lilies dream of her, with her the roses roam, And sunflowers shino like stars of gold and leau to light hor horno. World ain't what it used to bo—skies are eold and gray; Summer ain't as sweet to me: The little one's away! Wish the sweet birds singing could reaeh tho ones that roam; Wish the glad bells ringing oould ring my darling home! F. L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

Three squares to station and about half a mile to electric oar line, now in course of construction, and which will pass plaoe. ltent ®so per month. Apply on tho premises, Ciovor syde, St. Louis County. I am not a college-bred man, just a plain "readiu' writin', rithmetic" sort of a mortal, not given to beat ing about tho bush, but trying with all my heart to speak and write so as to be plainly understood. And so, when, after writing this advertise ment, I looked it over, it seemed to express in a fairly intelligent way the desire that moved me to its composi tion and tho subsequent expenditure of coin necessary to secure its publi cation iu the Republic. I desired to secure a tenant for my property. The premises and the location were de scribed with sufficient attention to de tail and accuracy to enable the reader to arrive at a decision us to whether that was such a plaoe as he or sho might have iu view for residential purposes. The rental was set out as distinctly as my knowledge of the English language would permit me to state in words or figures. Those pre liminaries disposed of, there remained for me nothing to do but reflect upon the bereavement by which I, a con firmed bachelor, found myself in pos session of something l'or which I had no earthly use, and to trust to the power of tho press for a measure of assistnuce in the preservation of that possession or its disposition in a man ner satisfactory from a financial and personal standpoint. It was plain that city raised as I had been I could not reside content edly in such a place. I was ignorant of the management of a house or the control aud guidance of a corps of servants. The location was against my taking up my abode there. It was too retired aud quiet, decidedly. The ten days I had spent there while the carpenters, painters and decorators were putting the placo in shipshape, were the most lonesome and dismal in all my experience. The nearest neigh bor was about two blocks distant, but had he been next door it would not have relieved the isolation, for he and his family extinguished tho flights and retired at 9 o'clock, "leaving the world to darkness and to me." In an old-fa3kioued rocker I would sit for hours, my reverie only dis turbed by the rattle and roar of a pass ing train and the accompanying bark of every dog on the circuit, these dy ing away and intensifying the solitude aud loneliness. I havo Baid that I was a plain speaking man and a plain-writing one. Perhaps, in tho interest of truth, I should qualify that statement by add ing that I thought I was until the re sults of my rushing into the want col umns of n metropolitan newspaper disabused my mind of tho idea. My appeal to house hunters met with "a generous response. They came singly, in pairs and quartets, in crowds. Every train bore a delegation of them. Not all house-hunters are demented, not by any manner of means. But a goodly percentage of those who fav ored Cloversyde with their presence on that beautiful Sunday just a year ago to-day were, I am bouud to think, weak mentally. Either this, or there was a gigantio conspiracy among the guild to harass and annoy me, and thus add to the embarrassment of the predicament in which I found myself through this sudden acquisition of landed property. To particularize; The first person to call was a pudgy, red-faced gentleman, who, after he had toiled up the hill nud relieved himself of a snort or two, requested to be shown over the place. When we had returned from tho inspection my caller protested that there was no sewer connection. How under the shining sun there should be suoh a thing with the near est sewer five miles away is beyond my feeble comprehension, but that he did expect it aud came out there pur posely to realize his expectations, the manner in which he mopped his bald head aud grunted left no margin for doubt. As he hade me good day and waddled down the hill to take the next train cityward I fancied I could detect phantom sever connections in the heated atmosphere above his head. The next train landed half a dozen cranks, who jostled each other in their anxiety to reach me. As they wedged their way through the gate and along the gravel walk there was lire in their eyes. Another tour of inspection and then the jargon commenced. An old iellow in glasses expressed his astonishment of the discovery that tho house wns a frame and not a brick structuro; a man who snapped his words with a metallic rattle was startled because there was no city water; another, with a blood red scarf and green shoes (I would not have had him for a tenant under any circumstances), mourned the absence of gas; still another was sorely disap pointed because there was no street oar line within easy walking distance. During that and the succeeding four days they came out, trotted me through the inspection racket and then completed the torment by firing their alarming discoveries and objec tions at me. Summarized, I learned that the place was decidedly objectionable, be cause the rent was too high; there were no speaking tubes in the house; the oellar was not cemented; the house had been built to be heated by fur nace, and was therefore beyond the reach of thoso of moderate means; there was not room enough; there was too muoh room; the rooms were too large aud would require acres of enr pet to cover the floors; the grounds were so extensive that the employment of a man to care for them would be necessary; there was no sidewalk; trains were not sufficiently numerous; it would all be nics enough for sum mer, but when winter comes what's a body to do?—and so forth. Of course the advertisement expressly described this as a framo house of nine rooms, the grounds of about three acres in extent, the water supply as coming from a well and cistern, the railway station as three blocks nway, aud tho rental as §55 a month. Aud yet scores of men aud women who were in search of a brick house of six rooms, with city water, sewor connections, speaking tubas, gas and bath, on tho line of a street railway, came out to inspect my property and annihilate me with their ohjections to it. I thought I was a plain-speaking, plain-writing man. I am not. Tho week passed and tho house was still on my hands. It was Saturday, and I had reached the conclusion that I would lock up the place that even ing, return to my bachelor apartmonts in the city, and let some agent sell the property to the first bidder and re lievo mo from a strain that was fast putting gray hairs into my head. I had disposed myself in the rocker on the veranda when I noticed that tho early afternoon train deposited three per sons 011 tho station platform, who im mediately took the path leading up to the stretch of grassy hillside and ter minating at my gate. As they drew nearer 1 was ablo to distinguish that one was an elderly gentlemen with snowy hair and mustache, another a man in middle life with a sandy beard and mustache and tho third a lady of about twenty. They came direct to the gate, passed through it, and were mov ing slowly up tho walk when I ad vanced to meet tkein. Tho young lady was the spokesman. At least she opened tho interview by referring to the advertisement as the moving cause of their visit. I caunot for the life of me explaiu why I thought so, but instantly it fixed itself in my mind that my tenants stood before me. I wns just a bit nervous, but I gathered myself together, and in five minutes' time we were walking together through the house and talking pleasantly about its arrangement, conveniences and such like, nud then made a tour of the grounds. When we returned to the veranda I tendered the rocker to the young woman, while tho gentlemen— one, as I learned, her father, the other her brother—and myself sat on the steps. There would be no train to the city for an hour, and we had am ple time to discuss the object of their visit and, incidentally, such personal affairs as are wont to develop under such circumstances. It was thus that I learned that the old gentlemen was a Virginian, upon whom the results of the war had fallen rather disastrously, and whoso troubles from this source had been augmented by the death of his wife. His son was a member of one of tho professions and amply equipped mentally and financially to provide for the family, while the daughter, reared in true Virginia fash ion, was to be housekeeper or general charge d'affaires. We agreed upon terms, and it wns arranged that Colonel Kirby was to assume possession on the following Monday. I accompanied the party to the station, gave them a cor dial goodby (I confess it was a reluc tant goodby I gave the young lady), the train sped nway toward the smoke wreathed spires of the city, and loft me to my rocker and my reflections. Bright nud early Monday morning a procession of vans invaded Clover syde and while the sturdy help was bus ily engaged in the work of transferring the contents to the house the Colonel and his daughter reaohed the place by train. An exchange of a few compli ments pertinent to such an occasion ensued when I abdicated and left the quiet country cottage to resume life in town. At the end of a month I made my debut as a landlord. There was a noticeable improvement in the appearance of the place. The grounds looked clean, and flower beds at odd places and bordering the walk, gave evidence of womanly attention. The house wore a home-like, hospitable air, and just where I had left it sat the old rocker. These things I noticed at that lirst call, a brief one. Subse quent visits gave opportunity for extended observations, which only em phasized my first impression that a model housekeeper was directing mat ters in a certain habitation in Clover syde. Gradually I became conscious that a change had taken place in my self. Town life was fast losing its attrac tiveness; my thoughts turned with an indefinable longing to woods crowning the uplands through whose leafy branches the Southern breezes played, to rivulets springing from groves, play ing along the slopes awhile, prattling into groves again and dancing nwny in the shaded distance. And I philoso phized, too. No man is a bachelor from choice. Either his lonely condi tion is a case of it-might-have-been, or he has not yet looked into eyes that have answered his heart. Love is magnetism. The eyes have it. When the ordained eyes meet, then and there the bachelor ceases to exist and one more township is added to Paradise. I made this discovery when my eyes met those of Rhody Kirby, and though I have looked into those same dear eyes thousands of times, and though they have been my inspiration, my very life, yet to save mo from perdi tion I cannot describe them. I know the regal rose, the modest violet the loyal sunflower, but to attempt a de scription of either would be a task en tirely beyond me. And so with Rhody's eyes. I only know they are the most beautiful this side the shining stars, that she herself fills up the gracious mold of modesty and that I am desper ately . Rut I anticipate a little. I developed an extraordinary inter est in my property in Cloversyde, so that it was not unusual for me to drive out there every week. Mypretextwas that the place needed looking after, the fences and buildings requiring a deal of attention to save them from failing into decay. Miss Rhody was my companion over the grounds, mak ing suggestions here and there and tilling mo with a fear that I should one day drop dead at her feet from an at tack of heart palpitation. But all things must have nil end, and I re solved tol talk seriously with Rhody when next I put foot on the place. It was the first day of Juno aud early morning. The budding roses were bathed in dew, the birds twitted tune fully in the trees, the air was soft and deliciously fragrant, and Miss Rhody was as delightfully sweet and captivat ing as it is given to any mortal to be. Wo walked about the place, our con versation confined to matters common place, and my stay had been prolonged to a length where I could find no propriety ill longer detaining her. As I was about to take my leave I said: "I am not going to call any more for the rent." Theie was an enormous lump in my throat. "Have you placed tho property in an agent's hands?" she inquired. "No, Rho—Miss Kirby." "Then you have disposed of it?" "Not exactly; I think I am on the point of doing so, however." "We shall feel very grateful," she said, "if it passes into the possession of so kindly and considerate an owner as yourself." "I am satisfied," I said slowly, "that the new owner will prove my superior in that regard. In fact, Rhody, that person is to bo no other than your own sweet self. Since I first saw you every day has increased my admiration, until I find love takes the place of admiration. I have dis covered that it is possible for a woman to possess sense without vanity, and beauty without affectation." I had taken her hand in mine while I spoke. "May I ask you to take this place and with it me into your dear keeping for life?" She was a sensible woman. Obser vation had impressed me with that idea, and my numerous visits con firmed that impression. "I cannot pretend to indifference," she said, "and therefore own that what you have told me makes me ex tremely happy," That settled it. I was in an ecstasy of joy. Did I kiss her? lam n man given to plain speaking, plain writing. I did. Could I linve done otherwise? She said other things; so did I, but it is not necessary to repeat them here. She is to-day the owner of the place in Cloversyde, with all the appurten ances thereunto belonging, including myself, and as I sit in the old rocker on the veranda and write these lines, I am the happiest man on this whiz zing ball."—St. Louis Republic. llow Stolen Kico Thrived.

I From the Nero Era, Greensburg. Ind. The St. Paul correspondent for the New Era recently had an item regarding the case of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered , from a serious illness of rheumatism an ( l nervous trouble, and was able to be out for the first time in three months. The letter stated that it was a very bad case and her recovery was considered such a surprise to the neighbors that it created considerable gossip. Being anxious to learn the absolute facts in the ease, a special reporter was sent to have a talk with the girl and her parents. They were not at home, however, being some distance away. A message was sent to Mr. Stevens, asking him to write up a full history of the case, and a few days ago the following letter was received from Mrs. Stevens: "ST. RATM, IND., Jan. 20, 1597.

She was going to school, and had to walk about three quar ters of a mile each day, going through all i kinds of weather. She was thirteen years old and doing so well in her studies that I disliked to take her from school but we had to do it. "For several months she was confined to the house, and she grew pale and dwindled down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms were drawn un and tier appearai was pitiful. Several doctors had attended her, but it seemed that none of them did her any good. They advised us to take her to the springs, but times were so hard wo could not afford it, although wo finally managod to got her to the Martinsville baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker, and st seemed that she could not stand it. but sbo became better, and it seemed that she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew worse, and we had to bring her home. "She lingered along, and last winter be came worse again, ami was afflicted with a nervous trouble almost like the St. Vitus' j dance. For some time wc thought she would die. and the physicians gave her up. When she was at her worst a neighbor came I in with n box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for ' Pale People and wanted us to try them as they Were advertised to ba good for such cases, and her daughter had used them for nervousness with such good results that she thought tiiey might lieip Mabel. "We tried them. The first box holpod her some, and after she had taken three boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When she had finished a half dozen boxes she was able to be out and about. She lias taken about nine boxes altogether now, and she is as well as ever, and going to school every day, having started in again three weeks ago. Her cure was undoubtedly due to these pills.'
