Tho passions kill men sometimes,
even suddenly. The cpmnion expres
sion, "choked with rage," has little ex
aggeration In It, for, even though not
suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten
life. Strong-bodied men often die
young, weak men live longer than tho

Tho Inferior animals, which llvo tcm

guinea pig G or 7.
Tho numbers all boar proportion to

ono that seldom comes up to tho aver

DISHRAGS FROM THE SOIL.
Women who work, whether in the house,;
store, office or factory, very rarely have the
ability to stand the strain. The case of
Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is
interesting to all women, and adds further
proof that woman's great friend in need is
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
"De.ii Mns. Pin'kham: I suffered misery for several years. My back
ached and I had bearing down pains, nnd frequent headaches. I would often
wako from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would bo hours beforo
I could closo my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I
could do no work. I consulted different physicians hopinrr to got relief, but,
finding that their medicines did not euro mc, I tried Lydia JE. Pinkham's
Vopotablo Compound, as it was highly recoraended to mc. I am glad that
I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very 60on I
was rid of -ry ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid,
havo a nno appetite, and have gained in weight a lot." Miss Fhankie Onsen,
14 Warrontou St., lioston, Mass.
Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, sick and discouraged,
and exhausted with each day's work. Soino derangement of the
feininino organs is rcponsiblo for tliis exhaustion, following any
kind of work or effort. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
will help you just as it has thousands of other women.
The case of Hrs. Lennox, which follows, proves this.
" Dear Mns. Pinkham : Last winter I
broke down suddenly and had to seel: tho
advice of a doctor. I felt sore all over, with
a pounding in my bead, and a dizziness which
I had never experienced before. I had a
miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, nnd
gradually my health broke down completely.
The doctor said I had female weakness, but,
although I took his medicine faithfully, I
found no relief.
" After two months I decided to try what
acbange would do for me, and as Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
strongly recommended to me I decided to
try it. Within three days I felt better, my
appetite returned, and I could sleep. In
another week I was able to sit up part of
the day, and in ten days moro I was well.

In California tho houscwifo is not
compelled to use her old towels for.
liBh rags. Sho simply goes to tho gro'
ccr's nnd buys as mnny as sho needs
purely vegetable dish rags they aro,
But ndmlrably suited for her purposes.
Tho raising of thoso necessary arti
cles is being exploited by a number
of southern California horticulturists,
who received tho inspiration for tho
scheme from Chnrlcs Richardson,
whoso gardens in Pasadena aro becom
jng famous for their remnrkablo pro
iluctlons. Mr. Richardson has success
fully raised many growths new to
American soil, and this year is exceed

ing thousands of dish rags.

'inches In length, created n stir, but
dish rag vines, which, with their pen
dant dish rags twine about orango
trees, palms, evergreens and . poach
trees, and peek In at the top story win
dows, bid fair to win tho championship
from tho beans.
Thcao dish rags, or vegetable
sponges, as they aro sometimes called,
are Indigenous to Africa, but now It
has been demonstrated that they will
thrive in this country they are bound
to become a popular production.
Tho graceful, well folinged vinos nro

to stretch out an arm and pull ono in.
Such nn arrangement would be much
easica than going to tho ragbag or buy
ing dish rags at stores.
Thoso curious vegetables assume tlio
form and appearance of cucumbers,
nnd hang on tho vines until their green
coats become brown and dry like parch

to harvest. After they aro picked tho

Experimenters Try Their Haud a
Urecdliitr Vuricgutcd Cuterplllura.
Some audacious experimenters have
been endeavoring to make tho silk
worm spin colored silks. Primarily
they were endeavoring to ascertain if
the green color of some natural silks is
produced In any way by tho leavea
Upon which the worms feed, but tho
work suggests the possibility of secur
ing beautifully tinted raw silks.
Several lots of caterpillars wero fed
from their birth upon leaves Impreg
nated with a red dye. They ate their
livid meals without any show of re
pugnance, and soon began to take on a
reddish tint throughout the body.
When allowed to spin on freshly col
lected natural branches these worms
produced a red-tinted silk, the wholo
cocoon presenting a beautiful red col
oration. Certain colors, notably blue,
wero not so apparent In their effects
and tho worms did not seem to-relish
tho blue leaves as well as the red ones.
Ono of the questions that, naturally
presents Itself to the inquiring mind is
whether selective breeding of such ar
tillclally stained caterpillars would not
result in a race in which tho colora
tion became permanent. The fact is
clearly established that the dlgestlvo
tube has a marked influence on tho
Silk. As a French writer declares In
green silks it Is tho cholorphyl of tho
leaves that wo observe, and In yellow
ish silks tho pigment comes directly
from the mulberry leaves, with which
it is identical.
