TRY IT Women suffer ing from female troubles and weakness, and from irregular or painful men .ses, ought not to lose hope if doctors cannot Ihelp them. Phy sicians are so busy with other diseases that they do not un derstand fully the peculiar ail ments and the delicate organism or woman, wnat the sufferer ought to do is to give a fair trial to BRADFiELD'S Female Regulator which is the true cure provided by Nature for all female troubles. It is the formula of a physician of the highest standing, who devoted his whole life to the study of the dis tinct ailments peculiar to our moth ers. wives and daughters. It is made of soothing, healing, strengthening herbs and vegetables, which have been provided by a kindly Nature to euro irregularity in the menses, Leu eorrhoea, Falling of the Womb, Nerv ousness, Headache and Backache. In fairness to herself and to Brad* field’s Female Regulator, every suffering woman ought to give it a trial. A large $i bottle will do a wonderful amount of goad. Sold by druggists.

New York Mall and Express: "Did you ever have a big piece of pure luck when you really needed it badly?” said one who is at present a high rail road official. “I did once, and never again. It happened in Denver in 1882. I was broke. I had just come out of the hospital after a long tussle with pneumonia and I was unable to do manual labor, which was the only thing I could find. One afternoon, when things were at their very worst, I was sitting in the old Charplot hotel ! and overheard two men talking very secretly about a big strike in some mine. I inferred from thrir conversa tion that it was somewhr e in the San Juan distiiet, but they didn't mention the exact location or the name of the property. When they wcrt out I noticed a tiny piece of ote laying on one of the chairs, whne it had evi dently been dropped w.iile they were examining some speeinit us. it was brown quartz, literally full of gold. It was ore that made a fellow's heart Jump just to look at it, and while I was turning it between my fingers it all of a sudden flashed into ;ny mind ;hat it must have conn from the Lady Alice. They had taken stuff from it onre, but the vein had ‘pinched out.’ and the property was supposed to be N. G. Its stock had dtopped to noth ing. Of course, it was or.iy a guess,” continued the speaker, "and there were several hundred chances that it wasn’t the Alice at all. 1 did some quick thinking. There was a banrer up town who owned a lot of Alice stock, and in two minutes I was on my way to his office. ‘Look here,’ says 1, when I finally got into his den, ‘I have in formation worth a lot of money to you; what is it worth to me?’ ‘Not a cent down,’ says he, promptly, ‘but 10 per cent if I get it.’ I handed him the piece of ore; it was about as big as the end of my thumb. ‘TEey’ve struck that in the Lady Alice,’ says I. To my sur prise he turned pale as death and yelled for a clepk, 'Run after Smith!* he bawled, .‘and bring Mm back with that stock!’ Smith, it turned out. was the messenger, and he was then on his way to deliver a bundle of Alice stock for which the banker had just been offered a couple of hundred dollars. He had thought it a good trade until he saw my ore. Smith came back and the banker tried his best to pump me, but I wouldn't tell him any more. If he had known I was only guessing he would have kicked me out, but the fates were with me. The next day the news of the discovery got to the pub lic; it wa3 Alice, sure enough, and the stock went scooting skywaid. Mean while the fellows in on the secret had bought up all they could. My banker scooped in a big pot of ™oney and I got $2,500 for my share." The Scent t ui..' Interesting experiments with the odora of herbs have from time to lime been made, and it has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various tmells. The odor of clove:* has been ki-.own to destroy microbes in thirty iive minutes; cinnamon will kill some species in thirty-five minutes; thyme in thirty-five. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the ouor of mint has destroyed various foims of microbes in fifty-five minutes, ;,..J it is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is i.-.v be lieved that herbs which have been found in Egyptian mummies were placed on the bodies more for their antiseptic properties than as mere or naments or objects of sentiment. Kaya Ifiucl t'al»w Teeth. Albert tlrown, uu aged ana paralytic citizen of Paterson, N. J., was out and in a set of false teeth for two days. He swallowed them bunday, ana as he could not speak the wheieabouts of the artificial grinders was a mystery. It was decided that since he could not have walked away with tuem and couid not have thrown them away be cause of his paralyzed condition, he must have swallowed them. rr he X rays discovered the missing set of mouth upholstery snugly reposing in the upper part of the esophagus. They were successfully removed and damp ed to their proper position.—New York Toiirnal. A NICE LINE OF SAMPLES IN WALL PAPER FROM 8c TO 1 A ROLL. AWAY SUPERIOR IN QUAL.TY.

COURT OF THE MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING ' ^ COFntlBHf; IB99, BY FAff-AMERICAN tAFOSITTON If* The Court of the Machinery & Transportation Building of the Pan American Exposition, which will be held at Buffalo, N. Y., on the Niagara Frontier, during the summer months of the year 1901, presents an interest ing treatment of cloister work. The Machinery & Transportation Building itself forms a hollow square, with this Court in its center. It is 200 feet long and 100 feet wide, the east and west ends opening respectively to the great entrances from the Grand Canal and the Court of the Fountains, while the great exhibiting rooms of the Mall side of the building, and the two ex hibition rooms and great entrance court from the Court of the Fountains side of the building. lie on either side. Along each side of this Court, and extending the entire length, are roof covered arcades under which the visi tor may find rest on the comfortable benches. The pool itself is 175 feet long and 27 feet wide. It is placed in the cen ter of the Court. The bank is sodded and planted on all sides, forming a pleasing frame or border effect; the water is low so as to receive the re flection of the growth around the pool. The fountain is an • important fea ture, placed in the center of the pool, and giving life to the scene and fresh ness, to the atmosphere. Throughout the Court are pleasant walks and paths, bordered with low-growing shrubbery and plants, and at intervals at axis-points with the arcades.rare plants.are placed in great vases, mak ing a truly architectural landscape ef fect. The entire scheme gives the ef fect of an admirable enclosure of .a mission cloister, and is planned as one of the many little oases for the re freshment of the weary sightseer. < This Building and Court have been • designed by Cveen & Wicks of Buffalo.
