For eight years I had female trouble, falling of the womb and other complications.

I became interested: I bought a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and was helped; I continued its use and in months was cured, and since thai tiino I havo had perfect health.

Here is a new and amusing experi ment which any one can try, as th only materials required are a tumbler, a cork, some cardboard and a small piece of paper. If you place some cardboard over a glass filled with water you wilt notice after a little time that it has become raised, especially iu the middle. If no such change has taken place, the rea son Is either because the rim of the glass was not entirely dry or because the cardboard does not completely cover its surface, and, therefore, be fore beginning the experiment atten tion should be paid to these two points. You may next place on it a small cork, intended as a seat for a little frog, that you can easily cut out of the paper. After a few minutes the card board will become depressed as the result of moisture, and this quick transformation will cause It to expand so greatly that the frog and cork will be sent flying into the air. This simple trick is becoming a favorite In many homes, and never fails to evoke a good deal of laughter. —New York Herald. Honest I.lttle Dick. In all my life I never saw so honest a little eat as our Dick. He aot only never stole himself, hut he would not allow any other cat to steal if he could help it. The dear little fellow, how ever, was strongly tempted once, and came very near to losing his good name. One day the cook carried out a pail of nice little frost fish, and set it down In the yard. Dick was there. Dick always was near by when there were good things to eat. The cook went back into the house, and Dick sat down to wait for her return; and two of his especial friends were at the window upstairs to see what "honest little Dick" would do! The cook was a long time coming back to dress the fish; aud all the while Dick kept watch—now on the pnil, now ou the kitchen door. At last he went somewhat nearer to the pail, then nearer, then nearer. Ah! frost fish smell so good. Dick's little nose almost touched them! And then he sat down aiul cried at the top of his voice for cook to return quickly and save him from becoming a thief! Still she did not come. At last Dick put his fore paws on the edge of llie pail. Then he looked at the kitchen door and cried again. But the door did not open. So slowly, softly, a paw reached down into the pail. But, be fore It had gone down as far as the fish, it came back with a jerk empty; and its owner ran around the corner of the house where he could not see or smell those nice frost fish any more. He did not want to be a tiiief; and we believe that the little fellow never came so near it again.—Little Folks. Vegetables Whittled. If the reader ever amused himself by constructing a turnip lantern he must have observed how readily the vegetables yielded to his knife. Tur nips, carrots aud apples are capital things for the youthful sculptor to exercise his skill upon, and with pa tience he may succeed in turniug out some very interesting objects. We have seen a bouquet of imita tion flowers, formed of carrots, beets and turnips, that presented a most natural appearance. A chrysanthe mum may be carved out of a carrot, a camellia out of a small white turnip, and a damask rose out of a beet. Other natural objects may lie Imitated in carved fruits and vegetables by an ingenious lad, and if he lias a taste for the grotesque he may try his plas tic skill on caricatures of his frieyuls. l'eorrtje.

Longworth of the "Sphinx" newspaper, Cairo, Egypt, who is now in England, brings the warning that the wondrous marvel of the ancient world, the Egyptian Sphinx, is rapidly decaying. It will not now, he says, be able long to withstand the altering climate of Egypt, due to the irriga tion of recent years. A few yeais ago an hour's downfall of rain once a year was a novelty in Egypt. The natives regarded it as some dire message of reproach from the gods. The irri gation and the many trees about the Delta has changed this. Fifteen to 18 days' heavy rain falls now every year on the head of the Sphinx. The se vere "Khamseem" sandstorm follows and cuts into the soddened limestone of the ancient monument, literally whittling it away all over the surface. Proper Way to Exercise. Instead of wearing out their strength in contortion machines, relief-seekers should flee to the woods and the mountains, should pitch their tent 3 in some neighboring wooded high lands and share the fun of hoeing out a trail to the next spring; should gather raspberries in the deep clefts, and climb trees in quest of squirrel's nests; should fetch their own fuel from the pine-knot bottoms, and arrange expeditions to the highest peaks of the neighborhood. In that manner, a two weeks' camp in Elysium will suffice to lay in a reserve store of health for several months of town life; and, j besides, experience will prove that j with a practical purpose and the stim ulus of visible results enables an inva- : lid to beguile himself into an amount of exercise unattainable by the man ual of the horizontal bar. A Prize for Matches. The Belgian government offeted several years ago a prize of 50,000 francs for the invention of a paste for matches that did not contain white sulphur. Many products wotc submitted, but the judges recently re ported that none of them fulfilled the required conditions. They were ei ther defective in inflammability or ignited with friction on ail surface alike. Some of them gave off in flammable gases of a poisonous na ture. Vegetables in Cuba. In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh as much as 20 pounds. All vegetables do well. Raddishes may be eaten from 14 to 18 days after sowing, while corn produces three crops per year. Sweet j potatoes are perpetual. The natives dig up the tubers, cut them off and plant the old vines, which produce a new crop in three months.

Nervous prostration Is so frequently associated with systemic catarrh that some doctors do not distinguish be tween the two. In systemic catarrh the disease has pervaded the whole system and there is a constant loss of vital fluid* from the mucous mem branes.
