A LETTER TO WOMEN
From Mrs James Corrigran
For seventeen years I have suffered
Periods were so very painful that I
would havto go to the doctor every
month
He said that I had an enlargement of
the womb and told my husband that I
must undergo an
operation as I had
tumors in the
womb and it
was a case of
life or death
I was ope
rated upon
twice but it
did not seem
to do me any
good it made
me very weak
I was troubled
with the leu

CLOCK WITHOUT WHEELS
ft Runt 24 Hours nnd Works by the
Law of Gravity
A mysterious clock was found In a
private collection by Director Davy of
the observatory of Montsouris France
lit dates from the time of Henry III
and is described in a treatise on clocks
published in tho seventeenth century
by Father Alexander a Benedictine
monk The clock on the outside looks
like a little wooden cabinet on the
right side figures are carved along the
edge In a vertical line representing the
TIIE GRAVlTr CLOCK
hours from 5 a m to 12 midnight A
small metal cylinder with a rod
through Its axis is supported by two
pieces of string and by turning the
cylinder up the two pieces of string will
roll up on the rod The interior of the
cylinder is divided into eight compart
ments of even size These compart
ments communicate by very small
apertures I II 12 etc with those
next to them and by canals R with
those on the opposite side of the cylin
der The working power is simple A
specially prepared fluid is filled into the
Cylinder up to the line M N When
the cylinder is rolled up and the fluid
THE CYLINDERS INTERIOR
allowed to settle the cylinder will not
fall down but work its way down with
a slow and steady movement Each of
the compartments in turn is slowly
filled and emptied in that slow running
motion and the rod on the outside
shows the time as the downward mo
tion of the cylinder procceeds
Oldest of the Old
The oldest inhabited house in the
kingdom is Dunvegan Castle in the
Isle of Skye the seat of the MeLeods
of McLeod part of which dates from
the ninth century or a couple of hun
dred years before the conquest by Will
iam the Norman
The castle is built on a promontory
at the head of a loch and must have
been a place of great strength in the
days when the MeLeods and McDon
alds were at constant warfare
Sir Walter Scott spent a night there
in the fairy chamber his experiences
furnishing matter for one of his Let
ters on Deinonology
The oldest family in the world is that
of Mutsu Hito the Mikado of Japan
the throne of that empire having been
filled by members of his family for
more than 2500 years The present
Mikado is the 122d of the line The first
one was contemporary with Nebuchad
nezzar 66G years before the Christian
era
The oldest family in Europe is the
Austrian house of Hapsburg of 952
Mahomet was born in 570 his descend
ants are registered in a book kept in

There are two kinds of sarsaparilla The best and the
rest The trouble is they look alike And when the rest
dress like the best whos to tell them apart Well the treo
is known by its fruit Thats an old test and a safe one
And the taller the treo the deeper- the root Thats another
test Whats the root the record of these sarsaparillas Tho
one with tho deepest root is Ayers The one with the richest
fruit that too is Ayers Ayers Sarsaparilla has a record of
half a century of cures a record of many medals and awards
culminating in tho medal of the Chicago Worlds Fair which
admitting Ayers Sarsaparilla as the best shut its doors against
the rest That was greater honor than themedal to bo the only
Sarsaparilla admitted as an exhibit at the Worlds Fair If you
want to get the best sarsaparilla of your druggist heres an
infallible rule Ask for tho best and you U get Ayers Ask

TRUMPET CALLS
Rums Horn Sounds a Warning Note
to the Unredeemed
HERE are al
ways three pres
ent when two of
Gods children
meet
Make it right
to sell whisky
and nothing else
can be wrong
pjvery man
who thinks he
can deceive God
iftrs has already de-
ceived himself
The man who minds his own busi
ness will always have something to do
Step where God tells you to and you
will find your foot planted on the rock
Theprajer that comes from a broken
heart goes straight to the heart of God
The more grateful we are for our
blessings the smaller our trials will
look
If God gives us much to do or endure
it means that he will also give us much
grace
If we do too much for our children
they will never be able to do much for
themselves
It is hard to convince some preach
ers that theyare not needed most
where the pay is the best
It would puzzle an angel to make out
what some people mean when they
say Thy kingdom come
Heavens windows are still waiting
to fly open for the man who will take
the last tithe to the storehouse
There is nothing in the Bible to en
courage anybody in thinking that he
can be saved by his own good works
The preacher whose only usefulness
lies in his ability to cure insomnia in
his hearers has misunderstood his call
There is much praying done in pub
lic and private that falls short of a
genuine calling on the name of the
Lord
Men have no patience with the man
who fails at a vital point but God
bears with him and gives him another
chance
One of the biggest fools in the world
is the man who thinks the devil wont
get him because his wife belongs to
church
Many a man who begins what he
considers a promising journey in tho
Jericho road meets the robbers at the
first bend
There is something wrong with the
man who goes home from church mad
whenever the preaching is aimed
squarely at the face of sin
REMAIN UNCHANGED
Goldbeaters Tools and Cooks Caps as
They Were in Ancient Times
In almost every kind of trade known
to man the years have brought mani
fold charges in the way of tools im
proved machinery advanced ideas as
to the manipulation of material and
numberless aids from the fields of
science the workshop of the chemist
the inventor and the artist But there
is one trade in which no advance has
been made and that is in the goldbeat
ers trade The same tools and the
same appliances are used now as in the
days when Solomon built his temple
and the art flourished in ancient times
When Tyre and Sidon ruled the seas
when Carthage disputed with Rome the
supremacy of the world the goldbeat
ers of those days worked with the same
implements as those used nowadays
It is a very singular thing that in all
this endless change this rearranging
and shifting the goldbeaters trade
should still be conducted on its ancient
basis and stand primitive in relations
to the other trades and arts that have
progressed so steadily and importantly
Another curious feature of the trades is
the badge of the cooks cap It is the
same cap nowadays as the cap worn
by the cooks wiio served up nightin
gales brains for Lucullus Vitellius and
the Roman epicures The cooks of the
days of Shakspeare of Charlemagne
of all ancient time wore the same
shaped headgear the inevitable cooks
cap that the chef of a fashionable mod
ern hotel wears The times change and
people change with them but in this
labyrinthian moving and changing it
must be remembered that there still
exist two symbols sent down through
the ages as they were in the beginning
Smartness Accounted For
In these days of new and improved
educational methods it is not surpris
ing that the children are becoming
wiser than their fathers
Up in the North Carolina mountains
says the Washington Star an old man
has a cabin which is a resort for hunt
ers He has a grandchild of whom he
is veiy proud She is a pretty golden
haired girl and a pet of the hunters
who warm the cockles of the old mans
heart by singing her praises
On a recent trip one of the hunters
after a little skirmish with the child
went out to the old man who was do
ing some work about the cabin and
said
I say grandpop Nellie is smarter
than ever
Yes responded the old man proud
ly When she was in the citj a-visit-in
of her aunt she went to one of those
MeKmley garten schools and learned
a heap
American Feet Are Small
American women will be gratified to
learn that an experienced Parisian
saleswoman considers that after the
-women of Madrid Peru and Chili they
have the smallest feet of any nation in
the -world The best shaped feet in
Northern Europe are in Sweden

RUTHLESS WAR
Horrible the Cruelties Once Practiced
by the Spaniards in Uollntid
No page of the worlds history is more
replete with tragic horror than that
treating of the revolt of the Nether
lands against the oppression of Spain
Ir was jJays Motley a war of wolf
sh malignity wherein every man seem
ed inspired by a spirit of special and
personal vengeance Fortunate in
deed were such as fell In the heat of
battle for in the eyes of the victors no
of punishment was too ap
palling Cruelties too monstrous for de
scription were daily perpetrated men
saw their towns converted into
and solitudes while they
themselves were torn limb from limb
crimped alive like fishes hanged
starved roasted before slow fires
pinched to death with red hot tongs
flayed alive and broken on the wheel
The women a worse fate befel But
while we execrate the ruthless cruelty
of the Spaniards we cannot hold their
opponents blameless for when occasion
offered they often retaliated with a sav
age reprisal priests and other noncom
batants falling victims to their merci
less rage To calculate the number slain
during this war is impossible At the
instigation of Alva alone 18G00 were
executed while the number of those
who perished by battle siege starva
tion and massacre defies computation
The Popular Sweet Pea
The sweet pea which has become a
very popular flower was first cult rat
ed in Sicily about the year 1700 and
of the four original varieties two came
from Sicily and two from Ceylon The
time to plant the sweet pea is as soon
in the spring as the soil can be turned
without clogging
