A story is told in the India Ilttbhcr World of a meek-looking stranger, with a distinctly ministerial sir. who applied for permission to look over a large ruli ber factory. lie knew nothing at all about the rubber business, he said, and after a little hesitation he was ad mitted. The superintendent showed him ab ml In person, and the man's questions and comments seeuicd to come from the densest Ignorance. Finally, when the grtudlng-rootn was reached, he lingered a little, and asked, In a besltatiug way: "Couldn't I have a specimen of that curious stuff for tny cabinet?" "Certainly," replied the superintend ent, although It was a compound the secret of which was worth thousand! of dollars; "certainly, cut off as much as you wish." With eager step tbe visitor approach ed tbe roll of gum, took out his knlfa, wet tbe blade In hU mouth, and "Stop right where you are!" said th superintendent, laying a heavy hand upon the stranger. "You are a fraud and a thief. You didn't learn In a pul pit that a dry knife won't cut rubber.'' So ssylng, bn showed the Impostoi to the door, and tbe secret was still safe.

A LETTEIt TO WOMEN From Mr. Jsuns) Oonirau I?or seventeen years I hare suffered. Periods were so very painful that I would have to go to the doctor every month. Be said that I had an enlergemeutol the womb, and told my husband that I must undergo an operation, as I hi 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 troubl with, the leu corrhara a great deal. I also suffer ed with the sick headache, vomiting spells, back ache all tbe time, terrible pain in my left side, chilis, loss of appetite, and could not sleep nights. After taking several bottles of Lydia E. l'iukham's Vegetable Cora pound, some Liver Tilts, and using your Sanative Wash, I recovered. I can eat well, and every one that sees me tells me I am a different per son. I can do all my own work, sleep well and feel well. I am growing stronger every day, and am able to go out and enjoy a walk and not feel all tired out when I return, as I used to. I doctored for sixteen years, and in all those years I did not feel as well as I do at the present time. I wish that every woman that is troubled as I was, would try that medicine. Oh! ft is so good to feel well, and it is all owing to Mrs. Pinkham's kind advice and medicine. Mrs. James Corrioan, 284 Center St, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Very few, probably, are aware that the fur, or vegetable down, of the cat tail l a marketable article, superior to feathers or cotton for many purposes. It Is not quite so valuable i,r useful as eiderdown, hut it approaches It very t loeu'ly, and Is cheaper thau any of the three. As a matter of fact, a great l 'any people are to-day usiu' articles covered with cat-tali product? who have uo idea where the mater jil comes from. It Is a vast exteut of country, com paratively speaking, from which the eat-tall i gathered. It comes from the swamps along tbe numerous creeks that put In from the Delaware Hay. from Morris Itiver to Cape May. The average amount gathered in the sea sou 1st a ton a day. The work of gathering and transporting if. and then weaving It into tbe many forms which it must lake before becoming-salable, consti tutes a considerable Industry. One of the most elaborate uses to1 which this material Js put Is that of covering sof.'ia. Very many of the sup posed plush-covered divans are really covered with a fabric of cat-tail. It wejrs better than the plush, and is In finitely cheaper. The same argument that applies to the Hjfa is applicable to the pillow. Very often, however, such pillows go by another name. Sofa pillows, also, are made of cat tail, because a pillow avowedly cov ered with cat-tail would probably be regarded with contempt. Call It Alas kan plush, however, or Shetland wool that bn leen treated by a new process, and It will sell readily enough, and give good satisfaction, too. The family album which graces the center table In tbe parlor of so many farm hoiaxca Is also In many Instances adorned with cat-tail covers, although tbe housewife cannot be cinv'n ed they ire not plush. She has doubtless iwtld almost a much n-s If they were what she supposes, and naturally she scoffs at any person who hiuts that he has been victimized. It Is Incoming a prevalent custom to v it-tall fur on tbe back of hand hiu tors and brushes, which have here tofore been backed with phwli. Some say that the substitute is really proving better than tbe original. The bead rest, too, seen on the i asy chair, Is often of cat-talland It Is none the lews com fortable for tht. Another article for which the cat-tail Is used Is the bed iiuilt. The eiderdown quilt Is au old-time article of luxury. The cat-tall quilt is every whit as com fortable, and coslM about otie-quai'lcr as much. In New Jersey, at least, the housewife fully appreciates the value of the cat-tall quill, however much her less well-informed sisters may scoff at the idea. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
