America's Low Birth Rate. Recent census figures, according to an article In the Philadelphia Medical Journal, seem to establish beyond question of a doubt the fact that the birth rate in the country is lower than that of any European country except ing France; that the birth-rate of the American-born population is much be low that of France, and that the fe cundity of the American woman is iewer than that of any other country. France is alarmed at her condition; we are indieffrent, for we are con stantly recruiting our population from Russia, from Sweden, from Germany, j from Ireland or from Canada. Senator Hoar's Worcester Heme. Senator Hoar’s house in Worcester was purchased by him some forty years ago when property was cheap, and is, therefore, a very large plot of ground, almost in the center of the city. It used to belong to John Han cock of revolutionary fame. The house is a roomy but unpretentious building, and is chiefly remarkable for its enormous library. Thousands ot volumes are piled ceiling high in tnis great room, and Mr. Hoar spends hours and hours among his books. Lost Twenty Years. Kokomo, Ind., Dec. 1st.—Twenty years is a long time to take out of one person’s life but that was the fate of Anna M. Willis of this place. For twenty years she suffered all the torments of Kidney Trouble, and any one In that state is not living, but simply existing. Now Anna M. Willis is fully recov ered. She appreciates the pleasure of living again and never forgets to tel! you that it is all because a friend advised her to try Dodd’s Kidney Fills. In speaking of her wonderful cure she says: "For twenty years I suf fered from Kidney Trouble. The dis ease was terrible in itself and It was all the more terrible because I could get no relief and my case seemed hopeless. "But one day I got six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and by the time l had taken five boxes my pains had left me and I was a free woman.” The average man doesn’t amount to much when measured by his neigh bor’s standard.

Unchecked by the Govcrrmei t, Fight ero Under the Black Flag Practice Their Vocation Off the Fukien Coast of China—Slav all Who Op pose Them. Mail advices report that pirate craft are now thicker than ever olt the Fukien coast of China, which is at the present day a most dangerous highway for junks traversing the coast between Canton. Swatow and Amoy. Piratical junks, well manned and well armed, cruise about the Tunganhsien coast in squadrons of threes and fours, lying in wait for trading junks laden with rich cargoes bound from Amoy and neighborhood to Swatow or Canton or vice versa; In some cases stripping the merchant craft of all their cargoes, sails, rig ging, food supplies, armament, etc., and leaving the crews just so much as to enable them to navigate their junks to the nearest seaport, while jn other case3 landing the crews at some spot on the coast, and taking away tho junks and all that is in them. Resistance means death at the hands of the pirates, who seldom massacre the trading junk crows, un less the junks show fight and cause severe loss to the pirates. Then there is no mercy shown; every sur viving member of the trading junk s crew being thrown into the sea. Hence, unless well armed and strong ly manned, merchant junks seldom show fight to a superior force ol pirates, preferring to show their sterns to the latter, if they can. If, however, the forces are equal, two to two, or three to three, a battle often ensues, and if the resistance bo a stubborn one, small chanco is left to the junk's crew to survive tlie con flict should they be worsted by the pirates. I tie cusiom, mereiore, ib iu buow fight, and if the pirates persist in fighting to a finish, the traders gen erally heave to and prudently allow tne pirates to board them and “do whatever may seem best in their tight,” for more often than not rein forcements for the aid of the enffany sail in sight not long after a bottle i? commenced. This, has, therefore, encouraged the pirates of the Fukien coast, between Amoy and Swatow, to make that place their constant ground, so that unless It be stopped, the junk trade between Fukien and Kuangtung provinces will soon be a thing of the past, so great is the ter icr inspired by the pirates in the crews of trading junks. The cause of all this is the absence of government ships and war junks. Before the war with Japan (1894-95) (here was a respectable number of war junks quite able to cope with the formidable sea pirates, but since then “retrenchment” has been the motto of the Fukien officials, and a cruising squadron of war junks on the Fukien coast has of late years been rather the exception than the rule—except the- annual cruise (in a steam sloop) of the “admiral” of the Fukien prov ince, t,hose headquarters are at Amoy—and he usually cruises away from the pirates’ preserves.—Port land Oregonian. Comparisons of "Society.” In an article on “Vulgarity in Wealth” Marie Corelli attacks the American millionaire in a way that shows she would be a valuable acqui sition to our political stump forces. The assertion that English society has been damaged by contact with Americans is rather surprising, how ever, to anyone who has given any attention to the actions of English society for the last few hundred years. American society may be measured by the dollar, but the only society in this respect is that the lat ter is weighed by the pound. We may have our stock brokers, railroad ; kings and trust barons, but England ha3 her brewers, tea merchants et al. To be sure we haven’t families who trace a native ancestry back into the dim past, but surely a land ruled over by Edward VII. oughtn’t to sneer at us for this. Shot Gun Moral. Out In an Iowa town a husband whose wife had not arisen at the usual hour demanded that she get up and get his breakfast. The wife did not immediately appear, so the im patient man secured a bucket of cold water and drenched the sleeping spouse. At this the latter arose in wrath, and hunting up the family shot gun, she discharged the same at the inconsiderate husband, and he passed over the border land to the unknown regions, perhaps where cold water is very scarce. Moral—Some men should occasion ally get their own breakfasts.—Oil City Blizzard. Hebrew in High Office. Sir Marcus Samuel, who became lord mayor of London on Nov. 9, enters on his high position in order of seniority on the aldermanic bench, having received election by the liv ery men of the city of London recent ly, according >o time-honored custom. He served the office of sheriff seven yearB ago. He is forty-nine years of age and is associated with firms of Japanese silk and oil importers and Japanese merchants. His sucesssion to the civic chair is interesting for the fact that he is another instance of the Hebrew faith attaining the highest municipal dignity in Eng land. SUBSTITUTION. Please listen to a short talk upon a most vitally Important subject—one which Is greatly disturbing the busi ness world to-day. You have doubtless heard- of the word “substitution." You have prob ably read that “substitution is fraud." Tack that saying firmly in your mind and keep it thpre. It is worth some thing. It Is true—almost invariably. You call at a store and ask for an article of a certain brand or manufac ture, one which has been thoroughly advertised for years, and which has earned an excellent reputation. The dealer says “here's something just as good for lets money." That dealer thereby usually tells a direct false hood. He knows that the article which he ofTcrs you at a lower price is Inferior, but the point is that it yields him a greater profit; hence hi3 desire to substitute. You may ask if an article is superior just because it is advertised. Yes, it Is, and here's why. The many well known houses which spend millions of dollars every year in the good pub lications of the country arc managed by men of brains and wide business experience, and thc;;o men know only too well that unless an article has merit there Is absolutely no business sense in spending good money to ad vertise it. It does not pay to adver tise any article of general use for a short time only. Every advertiser must wait some time before his adver tising has created the desired Impres sion and while he is waiting his goods must have time to prove whether or not they are good. If they are good, they stick; if not. they do not, and If they were not good and did not stick, would this experienced business man continue to spend good money adver tising the goods—throw good money after bad as it were? Never! He has too much business sense. The average article which you see advertised month after month in good publications is itself good. Buy an advertised article. It is the true Eafo way. When you are buying ask for what you want and get what you ask for. Remember! “Substitution is Fraud." —Pearson’s Magazine. Henry Rebuked by His Porter. Prince Henry of Prussia, who re cently bought an estate at Burg Rheinstein, had an amusing experience in reaching hi3 new home at an un conventional hour. The new lodge keeper had never seen his master, and when Prince Henry asked the keeper to unlock the gate he was greeted by the sleepy doorkeeper with the abrupt question: “Who in the name of good, ness are you? Wonder some people don't choose better hours to pay vis its.” It was only after explaining that he was the brother of the emperor that he was allowed to enter his own castle.

An American gentleman who was Spending the winter in Naples had taken a flat in a palazzo the first, floor of which was occupied by a noble fam ily in somewhat reduced cirqumstftu ces. He noticed, to his surprise, that every day he met a servant going up or down the stairs carrying a pair of carriage doors. At last the mys tery was explained. The noble family shared a carriage with some otherfam ily, but each had its own doors with the family coat of arms, to make their friends believe that they all had car . riages! I !

'// mi \it Fibroid Tumors Cured. ® A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. M rs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes’ First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkha:n for Help: “ Df.au Mrs. Pinkjiam: — I have been under Boston doctors’ treat ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap petite is not good. I cannot walk or l>e on my feet for any length of time. “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac curately deseriljo my case, so I write to you for advice.”—(Signed) Mrs E. F. Hayes, 232 Dudley St., (Iloxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine — which she knew would help her — her letter contained a mass of additional instruc tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. “Dear Mrs. Finkham: — Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day 1 am a well woman. “ The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. “ Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dol lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.”—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St., (Itoxbury) Boston, Mass. Monntainsof goldcould not purchase such testimony— or take ♦be place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Finkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don’t for j get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else. ^rnnn forfeit we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of ciniiifel] tOitlmotUls, which will pro?e tlivir absolute genuineness. yvVvV Lydia 1£* i’inkli&m Alediclue Co*, Lynn, Mass. -DREWS JUNIPER BITTERS It»!l(‘Tc« AU Dl»tre»» ol the stomach ami Perludh cal Dlaordcra.
