r I Feel So Tired. How often do we hear this and similar expressions from tired, overworked women and weary men, who da not know where to find relief. For that intense weariness, so common and so discouraging, we earnestly recommend Vogeler’s Cuiative Compound. It is not a stimulant but a true blood purifier and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure, which will gradually build up all the weak organs in such a way as to be a lasting benefit. A fair trial of a free sample bottle ■which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd., of Baltimore, Md., will send you for the asking, will con vince anyone ol its wonderful medicinal value. It will drive all impurities from the blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a new being. It creates an appetite, makes one sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not forget that Vogeler’s Curative Compound is made from the formula of a London physician, who has given years of study to same.

A Precious Little Woman. Mrs. Anthony Woeckener, formerly Miss Espersona Cenda, has just had her life Insured for $500,000, says the Chicago American. This is the largest risk ever written on any woman in the United States. Mrs. Woeckener is known to fame as Chluuita and is the smallest woman in the world. She is thirty-two years old, and only eighteen inches tall. The big policy on her life was issued through a Boston manager. The midget was carefully examined by three distinguished physicians who found the little woman to be absolute ly normal except as to size, and in per fect condition. He is “The $30,000 Pink” Man. Thomas W. Lawson of Boston who is having a yacht built to compete for the defense of the America’s cup, is. like Sir Thomas Lipton, a self-made man. He made his fortune in specu lation, but has an eye for art and owns a fine collection of pictures. He is, however, best known for the '‘Law son pink,” which bloom cost him $30,000 to produce.

No one was ever made a fool of without his help. I am sure Plso's Cure for Consumption saved my iife three years ago.—Mrs. Thor. Robbing, Maple Street, Norwich, N. Y., Feb. 17, 1900. Truth is the simples of all virtues; it requires neither study nor art. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things ot everyday use’in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of De fiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guar anteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but be cause each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds con tain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Don’t stop the way of a bull or of a current of air. Superior quality and extra quantity must win. This Is why Defiance Starch is taking the place of all others. Every man who is long on vanity is short on common sense. IRON1KO A SHIRT WAIST. Not infrequently a young woman finds It necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home ser vant cannot do it. Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and roiled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso lutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. A fool is as happy in his folly as a wise man in his wisdom. THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED IT will u*e no other. Defiance Cold Water Starcli^iaa no equal In Quantity or Qual ity—IB or for 10 cent*.

They also have a whis tle with them, with which they pro claim to the non-sleeping inhabitants and to prowling men and beasts what o’clock it is. It is only a very few years ago that the large cities dropped their “night watchmen,” but many of the smaller towns in the provinces still employ their services. At a town in Posen, near the Silesian frontier, one of these old worthies had ceased to blow his whistle when the clock Bounded the hour. The burger meister could not comprehend the negligence, and the delinquent was Bummoned to his presence to account for it. At first he was at a loss what excuse to make, but on being pressed he declared that a few days before his last remaining tooth had dropped out, and that consequently he could produce no sound from his beloved whistle. The burgermeister could think of no remedy, nor could he punish the t-r r rrrrrw-rrwr** watchman. A council was called to deliberate, and the subject for dis cussion was laid before the meeting. At first profound silence reigned. Finally one of the members of the council rose and said he had heard of the possibility of replacing human teeth by artificial ones; adding, that to the best of his belief there was a man in Breslau who undertook to do this. He said he could not vouch for the truth of what he had heard, but he really had been told that this was the case! A long discussion ensued, with the result that the watchman was told to go to Breslau to gft a new set of teeth. In due course the old man returned to the scene of his du ties provided with the needful. The following night the burgermeister sat up to hear the result. To his astonish ment there was no sound of the whis tle at 10 o'clock, nor at 11, nor even at midnight! The next morning he summoned the W'atehman. to whom he expressed his indignation. “You have got your teeth now," he said; “why do you not whistle as before?” In a voice of humility the old chap replied: “Yes! I have got a new set of teeth, but the doctor told me 1 was to put them in water overnight." •V\V\V\WWW'V\WV\WV\V\* $ LOVE’S IDEAL SHATTERED i iP Young Girl’s Affection Vanishes Before Chance Revelation of His ^ ^ Unworthiness. f She stood at the top of the broad Rtairway, looking down over the heads of the dancers, until her eyes found him, and then sparkled with pride and joy. "My ideal!” she murmured. ‘My ideal!” The band was playing the new waltz, the lights were blazing through out the house, color and brightness were everywhere.and the heart of one woman was light with joy. in a little group in the corner of the ballroom stood a man. He was tall and handsome. His features were se rious and severe. The rest of the little group laughed r.nd joked. He seemed cut off from them in his deep abstraction, and the woman coming down the stairs, with her cloak on her arm. saw him and felt happy, for she held in her consciousness the memory of his caress and his words of tender love a few moments before. Her father stood waiting to con duct her to the carriage. The serious man lookekd in her direction, and smiled a rather calm goodby, which the joy in her heart interpreted into meaning more. All night long she tossed in her bed. All night long she dwelt on the bliss of those moments In the conservatory, till the gray dawn lulled her to sleep, and she fell into a gentle slumber, softly whispering to her pillow, "My ideal!” It was "ladies' day” at the club, and the next day the woman dressed her self with fastidious care, for she knew he would see her. The halls and lunch-rooms were filled with guests, the heat was stifling, and she left her chaperon and found herself wandering alone through a little narrow corri dor. He was in her mind, and she won dered why she had not seen him yet. She paused before a door, which was open. A group of men were around a table, with a generous supply of bot tles and glasses decorating its surface. She listened spellbound. She heard the coarse Jests that came from the lips of the man she loved. She saw his stupor. She saw his bloodshot eyes and his neglected raiment. With her heart frozen almost stiff within her, she heard him joke about his “love affairs.” She hated the other men for laughing at them, and slowly walking back to join the crowd she murmured in bitterness, “My ideal! My ideal!’—New York Press. ^ vjv >*» vjv >;» >;v v*» v;» v;» vj» >*» <;» v; vj<> vjv >j» >p >{< v(\ vjv v*» '<;> >f« >t* '»*» ^ » COST OF MODERN WAR j & _ 'i 5 Military Borrowings of Great Britain Are Much Larger Now Than ^ 6 They Were in 1812. $ • >♦<> >}» «*» «!< <!» »{' jk .*!*. >I£« So far as government borrowings are an indication, says the New York Evening Post, Ihe annual cost of the Boer war to Great Britain has been nearly double that of the wars against Napoleon. 100 years ago. In the period 1792-1802, when England was fighting incessantly in almost every corner of the globe, and w’as in addi tion subsidizing half a dozen continen tal states, the principal of the British debt increased £297,989,587—an aver age annual increase of £29,789,000, Between 1802 and 1815, a period which covered the Spanish campaign, the American war and Waterloo, the debt increased £323.386,041—an annual av erage of £24,875,000. Loans raised by the exchequer dur ing the two years following the Boer war outbreak in October, 1899, foot up £114,000,000 They include the £30, 000,000 war loan of 1900, and two is sues of £13,000.000 exchequer bonds in the same year; £60,000,000 consols in 1901, and £11,000,000 exchequer bonds. The above list does not include the temporary treasury bills issued in 1899 and 1900, or the £14,413.000 of the same bills issued after the consols loan of 1901, and still outstanding. MS >JS MS MS MS MS MS .'IS MS MS MS MS ' Neither does the above list include loans issued by the exchequer for other than war purposes It will appear, therefore, that, dis regarding the amount raised by in creased taxation in this war or in the Napoleonic contest, the Boer war has cost the British government an aver age of £57,000.000 per annum in loans, against an average annual cost of £24,800,000 to £29,900,000 per annum in the Napoleonic contest. The much greater cost of supplies, ammunition, transportation and equip ment. as compared with 1802, and the fact that there have been and are still more British soldiers under arms in South Africa than were commanded by Wellington in 1815, sufficiently ac count for the heavier outlay. It must, however, be remembered that the Brit ish war loans of the Napoleonic period were issued at very heavy discounts, being put odt at prices as low as 00, and with interest as high as 6 per cent, whereas the lowest price of the recent loans has been 941^ for a 2% per cent loan.

Ignatius Sullivan, sat at the banquet table of the Business Men’s Association of that city a few nights ago, says the New York Times. Sim eon Ford was one of the speakers.

He has work and worry before him for the next two years tnat will wear him to skin and hones. He doesn’t know what he is up against. I have met but one man who showed more real grit. Right after the explosion at my hotel, when the place was a wreck, I went into the restaurant. It was strewn with broken glass and debris. People were running about with bloody faces and torn clothes. In the corner sat a soli tary guest eating his luncheon. I think he was a Hartford man. Every one else was panic-stricken. 1 con gratulated him upon bii coolness. He said: ‘I am a man who has faced dan ger in every form. Death has for me no terrors. I was eating corned beef hash when the explosion occurred.’ “He is the only man I ever met whose nerve was stronger than Mayor Cullivan's.” Ilig Tank at Ann Arbor.
