, M rs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member
of a Chicago Woman’s Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with
out a Surgical Operation. She says:
“ Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute
there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them; one
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and
agony, and often death.
| “ I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E. IMnk
Iiam's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com
pound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana
tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
I* were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
w'ould occur.”—Mrs. L. A. Harris, 278 East Cist St., Chicago, 111.
$5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the
womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, back
ache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous
frustration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,
assitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
“all-gone ” and “want-to-be-left-alone ” feelings, blues,and hopelessness,
they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
l’inkhum’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.

j AMERICAN RIVER
| :
J L»ittle Hitherto
Written about the
Great Orinoco ♦
> t
One of the greatest rivers of the
world, the Orinoco, is also one of the
least known to Europeans. Its sister,
the Amazon, has often been described,
by Wallace and Bates, among others,
but Humboldt remains practically the
only real authority upon the great
stream, which, rising on the frontiers
of Brazil, runs for 2.000 miles through
Venezuela, receiving in its course such
immense tributaries as the Mela and
A pure, and discharging Itself by a
hundred mouths into the South Atlan
tic opposite the British island of Trini
dad, says the Caracas Herald.
The principal entrance and the only
one available for sailing vessels is
the Boca Grande, to the south, into
which flow, among other tributaries,
the Aratura and the Amacura, the
latter almost coinciding in its course
with the Schomburg boundary line
between British Guiana and Venezuela.
But most of the traffic of the Orinoco
passes through Trinidad, where pas
sengers and goods are transferred to
steamers almost flat-bottomed, and
reach the Orinoco by the mouth known
as Macarao, the open sea being avoid
ed. It was by that route that the
writer started in the Apura, chartered
for the occasion, on a trip of 500 miles
up the great river, forming probably
the first, and certainly the largest, par
VVVVNAAAAAA^VVVVVWVVVVVVVNAA/
ty of tourists which had ever ascended
it.
Six hours after leaving Port-of-Spain
the entrance of the Macarao was
reached and for fourteen hours we
navigated a deep channel, perhaps
half a mile wide. Well-nigh impene
trable forest and undergrowth hide
ground which is for the most part
ooze, covered for half the year by
water. But the passerby sees none ol
the horrors of this great swamp. They
are concealed by magnificent tree?
growing to the water's edge, whose
branches may sometimes he touched
from the steamer, when she is steered
close to the shore in order to avoio
the current. Sometimes that splendid
parasite, the matapalo. has wrapped
in its deadly folds several trees, and
theseperishing.it standsalone showing
walls of green, and resembling a large
ivy mantled tower. Upon this and
upon the tops of the tallest trees otbei
parasites fling masses of blossom. A
flock of flamingoes makes a brilliant
scarlet patch here and there; the sun
flashes from parrots of many sizes and
various hues; snow white cranes gaze
stolidly from the banks; macaws
green and yellow, or deep crimson on
head and breast, fly heavily past; and
smaller birds, of every color of the
rainbow, scream or chatter and sing
among the trees.—New York Press.
MOUNTAINS IN
CONSTANT MOTION
£ Science has Proved
^ That the Huge
$ A\asses Gravitate
s
Mountains are not tho stolid, im- !
movable things they are eridited with
being in the popular mind. Scientists
aver that a mountain in motion is
just as common as the existence of
mountains. They all move slightly,
and, to the untrained or unassisted
observation, imperceptibly, of course,
but move they do, nevertheless.
Railroad constructors find from ac
tual experience in maintaining tun
nels, bridges and tracks in mountain
ous regions that these huge bulks are
constantly in motion.
Drive a stake in the side of a moun
tain, take the location with the great
est care and return in six months!
The stake is not in the same place.
The whole side of the mountain has
moved. This experiment has often
been tried, and always with the re
suit of showing that the mountain is
ever shifting, ever restless.
In quite a number of mines located
on fissure veins or between high tilt
ed strata, movements have been for
a long time observed, and sometimes
of so pronounced a nature that the
shoring requires rebuilding. These
movements do not seem to he the re
sult. as in coal mines, of a sinking
from excavation of material, but ac
tual slipping movements of the moun
tain itself along certain lines.
The Smuggler Mountain at Aspen,
Colo., has mines in the deep workings
of which timbers two feet thick and
eight to ten feet long placed across
the slopes are snapping in two like
reeds, and having their ends broomed
up by the overwhelming pressure and
slipping movements of the walls.
Railway in Alaska
Company Has Been Incorporated for Such
an Undertaking
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
In the state of Washington the
Trans-Alaskan Railway company has
been incorporated with a capitaliza
tion of $50,000,000. Its projectors say
they intend to build a line of railway
in Alaska to connect with the trans
Siberian system by a steam ferry ser
vice across Behring Strait. It may
safely be predicted that many a year
will pass before the $50,000,000 will be
raised for such a scheme, before the
new company’s cars and ferryboats
will be running and before dividends
will be paid on the stock. It is not
likely that the promoters of this am
bitious enterprise will succeed in ob
taining large subscriptions from con
servative investors.
The Russian government had what
it considered good and sufficient rea
sons of its own for constructing the
►♦♦❖♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<»❖♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
line across Siberia. Not for many a
generation would private capital have
embarked upon so colossal an un
dertaking in so vast a region, so. thinly
settled and in the face of obstacles so
stupendous. Unless the population of
Siberia increases enormously, the
railroad through northern Asia must
inevitably be operated for an indefinite
period at a heavy annual loss. But
its possible value to the huge Russian
empire for military purposes may, per
haps, be incalculable in later years.
Where could the proposed trans
Alaskan trunk line secure passengers
and freight enough for its cars and
it steamships to pay even the most
modest profit?
In several Belgian towns dogs are be
ing made use of by the police.
MONOCLE DISTORTS THE FACE.
Expert Opinion on the Increasing Fse
of “Window l’anes."
Manufacturers of eye-glasses state
that the wearing of monocles has
again become a “fad" among the fol
lowers of fashion, and the optical
trade papers are discussing the ques
tion from a practical point Of view.
The editor of the Dioptric and Oph
thalmometric Review, under the head
ing of “Straight Talks” writes: “To
the provincial and sensible optician it
seems a difficult task to realize to
what an extent the wearing of mon
ocles is in evidence in London, for,
apart from its aniso-refractive quali
ties, it has a disastrous effect in dis
torting the muscles of the face.
“Wearing monocles,” continues the
editor, “is a habit; it may be like
others, an acquired taste; or it may
have grown on one, like drink. I
even know one or two opticians who
wear them; they are thoroughly
ishamed of them, but they cannot
help it.
“At the best of times It is a difficult
ask to make an eyeglass stick in one's
ocular, as It is not everyone who is
gifted with the superfluous adipose
‘.issue necessary to keep the lens in its
place. I have heard It recommended
;o beginners that it is well to open
'.he mouth, or rather to drop one's
•hin inside one's collar, put the lens
>n position, and then let your chin re
lume Its natural position."
From the above remarks It will
easily be seen that the editor of the
optical trade organ does not favor the
"window pane” affected by Algy in
Piccadilly. It is Improbable that
monocles will ever be popular with
business men who have to really work
for their living.—London Express.
And Then the Hell Kang.
Once Congressman Palmer of Penn
sylvania was retained to defend a rail
road company in a suit for damages.
The plaintiff had been injured by a
passing train and claimed that the
crossing bell did not ring. The de
fense insisted that the bell had rung,
but that the injured man had not
heard it. “It is a very common thing,”
argued Mr. 1 aimer, "for a man to be
come so accustomed to a sound that
he does not hear it. For instance, how
many people know that the bell on
this courthouse rings the hours and
half-hours?”
“Preposterous!” exclaimed the
plaintiff’s attorney. “The courthouse
bell never rings the half-hours.”
“There you go,” answered Mr. Palm
er, "making an assertion which proves
my case. You have lived here twenty
years, and yet you never noticed the
bell ring every half-hour. It is now
three minutes of 11:30. If the bell
doesn’t ring I will drop my case right
here. If it rings I think the jury can
settle the case without leaving the
box.”
The attorneys agreed. Everybody
took out watches and waited patiently.
At precisely 11:30 the great courthouse
bell sounded, “Dong.”
"There,” exclaimed Mr. Palmer,
triumphantly, “1 told you bo.” And
a moment later he had the satisfaction
of hearing the jury decide against the
plaintiff.
They do say Mr. Palmer had a man
up in the tower who hit the bell a
resounding whack with a sledge ham
mer, but this, of course, is a mere ru
mor and ought not to be believed.
