nave an Abiding Faith in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. After rears of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm and steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth, good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genu ine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings. Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and all over America, and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound greater than in New England, its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this. ORGANIC.

P’ukham's Vegetable Com pound, and it helped me. 1 have now taken three bottles of it, and 1 am entirely cured. It is a God-sond to any woman, and I would recommend it to any one suffering as 1 was. I think, if most of the women would take more of your medicine instead of going to the doctors, they would be better off. The Compound has also cured my husband of kidney trouble." blits. Marei.

Ut» iCBtJEL TO ANIMALS, MANKIND IN MEAN AND DE SPICABLE LIGHT. (Voruen ■* Well a* Men f igure in the Disgraceful Record—Mnn Strlkot Home with rickuz—Woman Throw* Dog from High Window Tn its annual report the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gives a list of more important cases of cruelty with which it lias dealt in the course of the year, says the New York Press. It Is anything but a pleasant record and shows mankind in about as mean and despicable light as can be imagined. Horses seem to be the animals most frequently abused, and in many cases it seems to be sim ply a fiendish love of cruelty for cruel ty’s sake which incites the evil-doer. Some of the eases mentioned the last report are as follows: An Italian was arrested for carrying four young goats in a bag, their legs tied together and the animals packed in like bundles of Wood. When brought, before Judge Fleming the prisoner said that it was the custom in Italy to carry young goats in that manner, and that he had no idea that it was against the law here. The judge told him that, “ignor ance of the law is an excuse to no man,” and that in tills country the law prohibited cruelty to animals. It cost the Italian 510 to learn the differ ence between sunny Italy and humane America. A man in New Rochelle wanted to move bis horse from one ‘ side of the stable to the other, so he grabbed the animal by the tongue and pulled him across, thereby much In juring the horse. He was lined 55. A ; truck driver in Brooklyn drove a | wheel of his truck over the hind leg ; of a horse standing near the sidewalk, j injuring the animal’s leg severely. He j had plenty of room to drive in and 1 need not have done the cruel act. He had the choice of thirty days in jail or j a fine of 550. A man up in Oneonta left his horse out in the ro&cr.vay with out food or water for nearly twenty four hours in inclement weather. He was let off with a fine of 513- A par ticularly cruel case was that of a man who struck his horse with a pick- i ax. He was putting the harness on the ' UUIW wucu Hit? ilIIUll.ll Uf* illiu* ie-3* I tive. This so angered the ownpr that lie went into the yard, get a pickax, came back to the barn and drove it into the horse several times. He in- | flicted wounds two inehes long and five inches deep. After thus cruelly ' wounding the animal he paid no furth er attention to it, hut the neighbors re ported the ease to the society and the man was arrested. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 or tie imprisoned three months in the penitentiary. Another case was that of the driver of an ice wagon. He drove a fine pair of horses, and one of them, a magni ficent gray, angered the driver in some way. The driver in a fit of anger seized an “ice shaver," a four-pronged implement uf steel, measuring four inches across and with a handle three feet long. With all his force he drove the ice shaver Into the horse's flank, making a wound about four inches deep and the width of the implement. A veterinary surgeon put more than a dozen stitches in the wound, and the horse was unfit for work for several weeks. The man got off with a fine of $100. Women as well as men figure in the disgraceful record. One woman picked up a dog and threw it through a third-story window to the ground, breaking its back. She was lined $25, with an aleruatlve of ten days' impris onment. She could give no excuse for j her inhuman action. A beautiful St. Bernard dog belonging to the Suburb an Driving club was found dead in its kennel. Marks on Its body showed that it had been stabbed to death. A trail of blood was traced from the ken nel to a shanty about a mile distant, where a man lived alone. Evidences of struggle and of bloodstains leading to the entrance of the shanty were ai-o found, in the shanty there was found a large jackknife, with an edge on it like a razor. It was covered with dried blood. It was proved that on re turning from his work the man who lived in the shanty had found the dog roaming about, and had caught him and stabbed him with repeated thrusts of the knife. Then he let the animal go. The poor dog had strength enough to reach the side of his kennel, where : he fell down dead. The man got six months in the penitentiary. ____ Itaer* I.tko “IVniKVlv iiiia DuMhmd," President Schwab, of the Carnegie Steel company, is a fine type of the “Pennsylvania Dutchman.” These sturdy and thrifty Pennsylvanians are what the Boers of the Transvaal might become in a more favorable environ ment.

Things of the nineteenth century have hardly been known in the Phil ippine islands until very recently. The people there got along with eighteenth century methods and materials until American occupation made them real ize that the twentieth century was here. While living over rivers of oil they had a scanty supply imported from Russia. Now wells have been sunk and the natives are getting a little light on their former ignorance. Ships are landing on the islands ma chinery that truly astonishes the na tives. Where they have been scratch ing the soil to raise poor crops they are now plowing deep furrows and getting something near the value of a productive soil. Edged tools without edges and with temper uncertain as that of a Spaniard have been set aside for axes, picks, chisels, drills, saws aud shovels that mean much more and bet ter work with less expenditure of hu man effort. The worst known appli ances that boasted of the name "tools" are being replaced by the very best instruments of labor known to our highest civilization* Steam power In its most perfect forms is being ap plied where it was no more known than it was with us a century ago. The people are learning for the first time that the hills can be cut down and val leys filled up to make roads more level, so that larger loads can be hauled with much less effort than before. The steam shovel that .nth one motion of its iron jaws takes up more materia' than a dozen natives could shovel out in an entire day is an object of abso lute wonder. In fact, the Filipinos are only beginning to learn that the world has been actually moving since Ma gellan landed on their shores and gave them the name of "robbers. —Chicago Chronicle. Fain tine. Fainting may be the result of shock, excitement, or severe pain in school. The action of the heart is suspended momentarily or diminished greatly. The symptoms are: Faint, shallow and sighing breathing, peculiar blanched face, feeble pulse, the person falling to the ground motionless. Th< person should be placed Hat on the back, with no support under (lie head. Those not in immediate attendance should keep at a distance, and fresh air should be admitted fieely. The clothing should be loosened about the neck and waist, the face should be fanned, and respiration should he stimulated by Hipping a few drops of cold water on the face and chest. The Lare i hest and arms may also he slapped with a wet towel. Smelling salts may he held cautiously under the nose, or a few grains of pepper blown into the nostrils. Smoke from brown paper or tobacco blown into the face will also revive the person from the fit, though care should be used in this last remedy. Takes ilrnvyweight Honor*. A full-grown whale weighs 100 tons, or 224,000 pounds. That is to say a whale weighs as much as about 80 elephants or bears. Of course some run larger than this. There are tales among old whalers of whales 110 feet long, and weighing at least 150 tons, lbit such are not seen in these days. A 70-foot whale is a big one now. Still, it may give some idea of what monsters arc occasionally killed when we mention that a ton of oil has been extracted from the tongue of a single whale. Spurred to ^Success | BY LOSING HIS HANITS AND \ FEET. J i.... 2®$®<.t&stm That a man need have neither hands nor feet to be a success in the world is shown by the career of Michael Jo seph Dowling, speaker of the Minne sota house of representatives, A ter rible experience in a hi izzard when a boy brought out tho latent possibilities in the youth as nothing else that could happen to him might have done. Forty years ago Dowling was born in Yel low Medicine county, Minnesota, the son of a poor farmer. Early in De cember, 1KS0, as is told by a writer In the St. Louis Republic, a liard bliz zard set in in Yellow Medicine county, and in a short time provisions were low. It was unsafe to venture out of doors, and every effort was made to make the food in the Dowling family last until the blizzard should have spent its fury. Hut the blizzard lasted for an unusually long period, and it became necessary to get more food or starve. The elder Dowling was ill. and the young man started on foot for the village, three miles distant, to get. provisions. He reached ttie village j grocery store with less difficulty than he had expected, and was soon on his i return laden with flour, meal and oth'W stores. He soon found that the trip homeward was not as easy as the first half of his journey, hut lie plodded on with head down to protect his face ; from the blasts of wind and snow. ; Suddenly lie discovered that he was off the road. He tried to find it. but was unsuccessful. The wind was get ting colder and colder. He became j more and more bewildered. With | dogged determination be trudged on | ^ind on holding Ills precious bundLs j of food nearer t> him. In the storm be could not find a single familiar landmark. After hours of aimless wandering night fell, and the farmer s son was still struggling through th»* ; snow. The next morning dawned bright ! and clear. The blizzard had passed , [ on toward the Great Lakes. Dowling found himself within a hundred yards of his own home. Hut lie could not walk further, and nis voice could not he heard five feet away. He rank down exhausted, almost within reach of his home and gave up all hope of reach ing it. But his mother saw him fall onjj on w n *n Jjiji !.*lp 1lPIT\ he reached the house. It was found that his face, hands, feet and legs were badly frozen. A doctor was summoned and declared it was neces sary to amputate the boy’s hands and legs. This was done, and barely twen ty-four hours after lie had left homo to go to town he was a helpless crip ple. One leg was amputated above tho • knee, the other above th“ ankle, his left arm at the elbow and all the fin gers of the. right hand. When tho doctors left all that remained of the hoy’s ten lingers and ten toes was tho stump of one thumb amputated at tho second joint. Dowling's father was a poor man and to the young man no future wai apparent but a useless existence, a burden and an eyesore to all about him. But worse was in store for him. He soon became a public charge. Tho three commissioners of Yellow Medi cine met to decide as to his fate. The close-fisted commissioners made him sign an agreement not to return to Yellow Medicine county after being supplied with artificial limbs and a year's schooling. They congratulated themselves for thus saving the county the expense of caring for a helpless cripple indefinitely. But Dowling was determined and ambitious. He got a good education, became an adept on artificial limbs, returned to Renville, a county ndjolning the one from which he had been banished, was elect ed to a small local public office, work ed into tlie ownership of a weekly newspaper, tin n appeared in the ses sions of the state elgisulture as a clerk and next became secretary of a nation al political organization, being nomi nated to that position as the “Frozen Son of Minnesota.” He secured recog nition as a man of executive ability and a good campaigner. He was next heard of as a newspaper correspondent in the Philippines. Returning from the Philippines Dowling reached tho United Suites in time to attend tho national convi ntion at Philadelphia. His peaked Philippine hat was one of the sights of tlie convention. I-ater lie became a candidate for the legis lature, won easily, and immediately an nounced bis i indidacy for the speak ership. An Illuminat ing Mineral • \ ONLY SUBSTANCE OF J) THE KIND IN THE • WORLD DISCOVERED ; IN IDAHO % <91I*t«X« X•x•.•) A mineral possessing illuminating power lias been discovered in Idaho. The people of Boise City are very much excited over the event. Assav isfs have been unable, as yet, to de termine what the strange substance is. The discoverey was made by George F. Ayres, a well known mining man of Boise, several weeks ago, in one of his claims, about sixty miles from the city. At the time he did not think much of the matter and therefore paid no attention to it. The further he went into the mine, how ever, the brighter the light became, until, aftr a few feet had been worked, it was not necessary for him to use a lamp. It was then that lie took some of the mineral to Bois“, and had it ex amined by an assayer. Terry I>. Williams of Boise, who is interested with Mr. Ayres, was in Ta coma, Wash., recently, and had a piece of the mineral with him. lie will have an assay of it made and expects that its true worth will be determined. "So far we have not been able to find nny person who is able to tell -what kind of a mineral it is." he said, when exhibiting it, “and it is for .'hat pur pose I have brought it here. There Is a large body of it at the mine where this was taken out about sixty miles from Boise City. Mr. Ayres, owner of the mine, found it four weeks ago at a depth of 300 feet from the surface. He was running a moss cut tunnel to tap his ledge at this depth, when lie struck this deposit. At first it attracted his attention by giving forth a dull light. As ho worked further in the light be came brighter, and at the end of three days’ work he was able to go ahead without the aid of a lamp. Then tho mineral became a curiosity and some of it was taken to Boise. It was ex amined. but there has been no one who is able to tell Just what It is. ' Mr. Ayres took a piece of it to his cabin, and after night tried to make it show a light, hut it was not so bright as it had been in the tunnel. This is at tributed to the atmospheric conditions, and is undoubtedly true, for in the ex periments that have been made with it in Boise we have been able to re produce the atmospheric conditions in water that prevail where the mineral is found, and therefore it is not thought that we will have any trouble in getting the desired result. "So far as we have been able to learn, this is the first of the mineral ever found in the world. All assayers to whom we have shown it say they never heard of it before, and they are not able to tel! what it is. We will go ahead and try to put it to some us®, and even at the present time are rea sonably sure of success. If it does come out as we expect, the mine will be more valuable than we ever ba lieved. "There is a large body of the deposit, and the farther we go in the stronger becomes the light. Another thing that we are convinced of is that, if we can make it practical, it will be a perpetual light, for in the throwing off of its rays there does not appear to be any waste of tiie mineral. Since the discovery there has been a largo number of visit ors to the mine, and the outcome Is being watched by nil In the vicinity of where the deposit was uncovered.” ONE OF EYflRTS* JOKES | m m . m , m m • l • l «Y5 I • » •/•Y« »'• /• {% (% I •'■ 9 t • .• <•Y #Y# I • <*• , •Y£Y« Imi mYrnYi ^ The late Secretary Kvarts liked fun. and there was a dry wit in his public utterances at times that nearly con vulsed those who dearly understood his meaning. It was almost Impossible for him to avoid being deep, even in humor, and many a good fling at po litical opponents was lost, because he talked above the heads of his audience, or becauea his sentences were too in volved. At the time when the mug wumps were just beginning to show their teeth, he delivered one of his long political speeches from the stage of the Grand opera house. New York, and in the course of it remarked that lie believed the republican party need not fear the mugwumps as the latter were a lot of ‘ marsupials.” Some 3,500 men heard the word, and after the meeting groups got together to discuss the meaning of the word and its ap plication. Sonn went home to look at their dictionaries, while others called on Mr. Evarts for an explanation. "Marsupials,” said he, "are horn ex tremely small, imperfect and quite helpless, and have to bo carried in pouches on the bellies of their moth ers.” Wt’igiifpg Fowl for Cnftlr.
