One day Mistress MacPhairson was trotting home from her grocer's with some spiritual comfort tucked under her apron, when she ran up against her friend, Mistress Macleod, and felt called upon to explain. "I waur just beyont at Muster MacTavish's store. He keeps th' very best liam in a' th' land. Our John loves a bit o' guid ham. ye ken, and Is ay yammerin' aboot th' ham at ither shops bein' ower fat and saut." "Oor Tam th' same," said Mistress Macleod, "and so I'll gang and gie MacTavish a trial now." Five minutes after that Mrs. Macleod went to the obliging grocer and asked for "a pund of ham." "What kind o' ham?" inquired Muster Mac- Tabish. "Oh, gie me the same kind that Mistress MacPhairson always gets here." "A rieht," returned the grocer, with a cunning leer. And then, bend ing over the counter, he said in a high ly significant whisper. "Whaur's yer bottle?"— Weekly Telegraph. THEY WANT TO TELL These Grateful Women Who Have Boon Helped by Mrs. Pinkham. Women who have suffered severely and been relieved of their ills by Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine are constantly urging publication of their statements foi the benefit of other wo men. Here are two such letters: Mrs. LIZZIK BEVERLY, 258 Merrimac St., Lowell, Mass., writes: 44 It affords me great pleasure to tell all suffering women of the benefit I have received from taking Lydia E. Pink hain's Vege table Compou nd. I can liard ly find words to ex press iny gratitude for what she has done forme. My trouble was ulceration of the womb. I was un der the doctor's care. Upon examina tion he found fifteen very large ulcers, but he failed to do me good. 1 took sev eral hot ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, also used the Sanative Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's medicine saved my life, and I would recommend it to all suffering women." Mrs. AMOS TKOMBLEAY, Ellenburgh Ctr., N.

One day a lady came to see me and told me of the benefit she had derived from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad vised me to try it.

The phenomenon of certain species' of flowers opening aud closiug at par ticular hours has been utilized by an Ohio landscape gardener during the last summer to add an unique decor ation to the grounds of John D. Rocke feller's country seat at Tarrytowu, N. Y. It consists of a flowerbed which can be used as a clock. The bed is circular and divided into twelve parts. Each part contains a figure composed of a flower, whioli opens or closes at the corresponding hour. Thus the two-space is occupied by an 11, made of kawkseed, which closes at 2 p. m. precisely. The bauds, o! course, are stationary aud merely or namental. They are composed of the common yellow dandelion, which opens at 5.30 a. m. and closes at 8.30 p. in. They point to arrangements o! flowers representing these figures. There has been difficulty in finding flowers to suit the various honrs, and in some cases the figure has been made up of more than one flower. Among those that have been used are the snow thistle, that closes at 1 p. m.; the sow thistle, that opens at 5 a. in. and begins to close at 11, but does not fully close until noon; the yellow goat's beard, which opens at 4 a. m. aud closes at 4 p. in., with such accuracy that in some of the poorer districts of Scotland—where there are no clocks—the children are dismissed from school by it; the bine chicory, which opens at 4 a. in., turns white at sunrise and closes at noon; the morn ing glory, poppy, water lily, pimper nel and marigold opening at 5 a. in., 7 a. m., 8. a. m. and 9 a. m., respec tively; the star of Bethlehem, which closes at 11; the passion flower, which opens at noon; the beauty of night, which opens at 5 p. m.; the evening primrose, which opens at fi; the white lychnis, opening at C, aud the blue convolvulus at 2 a. m. The clock is so arranged that from a distance it looks like an ordinary flowerbed, but on close inspection none conld mistake it for anything other than what it is. SCIENTIFIC MjSCELLANY, It has long been known that the eyesight of savages is from twice to six times as keen as the normal Euro pean's. Recent examinations of nearly 50,000 school oliildreh is Bres lau by Professor Colin has shown that thirty-two per cent, could see twice or three timeß as sharply as the others. On Armish Book, in the Hebrides, a lighthouse without auy light has been established. It is some five hundred feet from shore. On the shore a light is established, and its rays are projected to the structure on the rock. There they are reoeived by a mirror whioh reflects them in tlie desired direction. From its first appearance in India to the present time—a period of two years—plague has claimed over 100,- 000 victims, but cholera in 1890 alone caused 471,779 deaths, smallpox car ried off 141,443 people, and "fevers" showed the enormous mortality of 4,578,944. Dysentery and diarrhoea are entered for 240,189 deaths, and while a separate return is not made for phthisis its prevalence nnd fatality are known to be extreme. Professor Noevius, in Wiedemann's Aunulton, claims to have discovered still another gas which is present in the atmosphere. The evidence is not very strong and is entirely spectro scopic, but should stimulate further investigation in the same direction. After eliminating all lines due to electrode matters, a number of lines common to the blue argon speotrnm and also to the nitrogen spectrum were discovered, and the supposi tion is advanced that they are due to an unknown gas which remains as an impurity in the preparation of argon and also in the preparation of nitrogen. A coincidence with one of the lines of crypton was noticed, but in other respects the lines seemed to be unlike any previously noted. Leprosy is a disease of the Chinese, according to the results of an im portant investigation in China and the Pacific Islands by Mr. Sidney B. J. Skertchly, und the black races are quite free from it. In no place has it been found where there had been no Chinese lepers to introduce it. It is not distributed throughout China, whole provinces being free from it, but it has its centre in Kwantuug and Fokieu provinces, spreading with diminishing intensity in all directions, and in Hawaii it has a new form of unparalleled virulence. Neither to pography, climate nor geological con ditions appear to influence its distri bution. It has followed coolie emi gration, and its spread can only be stopped, so Mr. Skertchly believes, by suppressing the coolie traffic from the infected provinces. The Grocer's KOOICR, "That's the way I've kept my accounts all my life, and my aunt be fore me," said an illiterate grocer to a county court Judge recently, while holding up a slate upon which were chalk marks which conjured up memories of our earliest school days, with noughts aud crosses. "The circlos are shillings, and a stroko is sixpence; whon the money is paid I rub the marks out." "It looks," re marked the Judge, "like an Egyptian inscription. And in this way you have kept your accounts on the door?" "Ye 3," promptly replied the litigant; "and 1 have never before had a dis pute over a sixpence." In giving judgment for the plaintifl", the Judge remarked that people should deal at shops where accounts were kept in a more orthodox fdshfct, and then dis putes would not arise.—Chambers's Journal. SHE ORIVES A MAIL COACH. A Pretty Western Girl WXio Prefer* I'Hlllnc to Teaclilnc School. Three times n wefek a backboard comes into Andrews, Oregon, carrying a United States mail poucli and driven by a young woinaD. Horname is Rose Sturgeon and she makes the lliirty-tive mile trip between Andrews and l)enio and back on alternate days. She is one of the few women who serve Uncle Sam by carrying his mail over lonely roads in the West. The road she travels daily leads down through a big. barren valley in Southeastern Oregon from the village of Denio to Andrews, where the stage couuects with the road run ning from Burns south to McDermitt, Nev. It is very lonely and unfre quented and one may ride along it for hours and see not a human being. There are borax mines in the region and a few lono ranches , and mining camps lying back from the road. Miss Sturgeon is barely twonty years old, a wholesome and healthy looking girl and a fair type of the best fem inine product of the W istern moun tains, She is tanned, a I Kipling has put it, "with the tan of the girl who doesn't care," but the brown face which looks out from hor sailor hat or her fur cap is good and pleasant to see. Asked how she happened to take up so unusual an occupation, she re plied: "Why, I needed to do something to earn money, and a friend of my father asked me in fun one day how I would liko to carry the mail to Andrews. I considered it a joke at first, but after ward I got to thinking about it and I concluded I'd rather do that than teach school, which I had been planning to do. I've always been used to horses and to driving and I'm not timid about being alone, and so I asked him to get the job for me if he could, and he did, and I've been driving the mail stage now for almost a year. "I don't mind its being a little bit lonely. You see, I was born in this country and I've always been used to the mountains and the big, barren plains and the wide valleys and to not seeing many people, and so I suppose I don't mind driving along alone as a girl might who had lived in a big town or a city. Sometimes I have a pass enger on the stage, or maybe two or three, and I have had as many as lial£ a dozen, but most of the time I go alone. "I am fond of horses and my team is company for me, and I like being outdoors so well that I don't think I'd ever feel lonely as long as I could see all outdoors aud the sky up above. Afraid! Why, no! Whatever should I be afraid of? Nobody could possibly want to hold me up because there's never money enough in that mail bag to warrant any road agent in taking the risk. "I don't carry arevolver or anything of the sort. I did at first because my mother wanted me to. But the thing was always in the way. There wasn't any place to put it and I didn't want to buckle it around me because it looked so—so sort of mannish, you know, and it would slide out of the scat, and so after a few times I quit carrying it. "I've had to face some pretty bod weather sometimes when it would have been plcasanter to stay at home. Last winter there were bad storms of snow and wind and sleet, but I wrapped np warm and drove fast and it wasn't so very bad. In fact I rather liked the storms. It's pretty good fun to come rattling along through the rain or snow as fast as your horses can travel. It makes you feel alive clear through. More so than the hot and dusty days last summer did. But it wasn't any hotter on the road between Deuio and Andrews than it was anywhere else and not nearly as uncomfortable as it would have been inside a schoolhonse. "I think I've got a pretty nice job. I like it bettor than anything else I could possibly do and I mean to hold on to it just as long as Uncle Sam will let me." Watching; th© Stomach. Tbo applications of the Roentgen rays, especially in the domain of medicine and surgery, are of constantly widening usefulness, although oue hears less of them in the daily press, now that the keen edge of the novelty has been blunted by a world's ap preciation. Two fields of exploration made possible by the fluoroscence of vacuum tubes, and recently entered, are of noteworthy promise. One is the examination of lung tissue in the case of consumption. The healthy lung gives comparatively little shadow in the sciagraph, while the diseased tissue has a much darker ap pearance iu the picture. It is thus possible to ascertain exactly the part affected, and to attempt palliative or remedial treatment accordingly. The other recent use of the Roentgen ray of especial valfle is in observing the movements of the stomach and its contents in the preliminary digestive process. By mixing subnitrato of bismuth, which is said to be a harm less powder, with the food, the move ments of the stomach may be seen by means of the fluoroscope under suit able conditions! The knowledge thus gained is of great importance f o the physiologist and the physician, as many facts hitherto unknown are re vealed. It is not strange that an English writer playfully remarked that the X ray may yet be employed to read the riddle of the Sphinx. It is certain that Professor Roentgen gave to the world a discovery which is bringing to mortal gaze many of the deep-hidden mysteries of nature.'—Western Elec trician. , • Indiana possesses half oßlie window glass producing facilities of the nation, produces, over one-third of tjje plate glass and a fourth of the flint and green glass, and stands first among the seventeen glass-producing States of the Union.

A remarkable thing in connection with warfare is that tho ratio of casu alties is constantly decreasing, the only exception being the American Civil War. The following gives the names ar.u dates of some of the princi pal battles, together with the style of weapons used and the number of killed to every 101)0 of the combatants; Cannae (13. C. 216); swords and bat* tleaxes; 500. Hastings (A. D. 1066); swords and battle-axes; 170. Bannockburn (A. D. 1314); swords and arrows; 300. Crccy (A. D. 1316); swords and ar rows; 330. Italian troubles (A. D. 1859); muz zle-loading rifles; 90. American Civil War, muzzle and breoch-loading rifles; 70. Franco-Prussian (A. D. 1870-71); breech-loading rifles; 50. British-South African (A. D. 1879); breech-loading rifles; 64. British-Egyptian (A. D, 1885); breech-loadiug rifles; 1. In the Crimean War the British fired 15,000,000 shots and killed 21,- 000 Russians, or oue man to every 700 shots. The French forces in the same war fired 29,000,000 shots and killed 51,000 Russians, or oue man to every 590 shots fired. The Russians, on the other hand, fired 45,000,000 shots, at both English and French and sue- ; ceeding in killing 48,000, or one sol dier to every 910 shots which thev fired. War, after all, is not so dangerous a , game as the majority of people im agine. The bullets of oue army hit the enemy iu safe places 80 times out of every 103. Of every 103 shots which strike some soldier 43 will lodge in the legs (from the hips down to the feet); 33 shots will lodge in the arms (from the shoulders to the tips of the fingers); the abdomen receives 11 bullets, the chest and back 11, the neck one bullet and 11 shots strike some part of the soldiers' heads. It is further proved by official fig ures that when a soldier has been wounded, even seriously, his chances of ultimate recovery are very high. On the basis of a table compiled by the German War Department, out of every 116 American soldiers wounded in Cuba or Porto Rico 99 wiil eventu ally get entirely well. Of the remainiug 17 out of the 116 wounded soldiers, 6 are found to die of their injuries on the ground before they can be removed, and an average of 11 die after reaching the hospital. So that the chances of the woundod American soldier returning home alive were 99 out of 116.—London Daily Mail. The CJolf Rail Industry. One of the interesting things about the golf ball industry is the ingenuity shown by manufacturers in shaping the ball so as to offer the least resistance to the air. It has been found that the markings or grooves on the surface of these little spheres have a good deal to do with their flight, and ever since gutta-percha has been employed iu their manufacture the problem has been to make these grooves as effec tive as possible. Some have at tempted to reduce the outside resist ance by flattening out countless little | squares on the surface of the ball. A | London a):tper in speaking of the mat- I tor to say: "Provided the gutta-percha be good and properly j seasoned there seems to be no reason I for the very deep markiug > which are | to be seen on inauy balls; while it is j obvious that the undue number of lines must decrease in size, aud, con sequently, the resisting power of the points left exposed to the blow. If the material be hard a very shallow groove is all that is necessary to de tach the points of impact, and to sus tain the blow." The same paper, in referring to the importance of the golf ball industry, says that from 10,000,- 000 to 12,000,000 balls are turned out annually in Great Britain. A large part of that number probably comes I to this country, for, although Ameri can manufacturers are lioldiug their own in club-makiug, they are still somewhat behind their English rivals in the matter of golf balls.
