BLOOD WILL TELL A THEORY SUPPORTED BY FRESH, CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. A Recent Instance Proves That a Woman’s Happiness Is Largely De pendent on the State of Her Blood. When the blood is disordered every organ of the body is afTected unfavor ably and fails to discharge its func tions properly. In the case of every woman nature has made special pro vision for a periodical purification of V ^e blood, and so long as this occurs ^ her health and spirits unfailingly re ■£l veal the beneficial results. So slight a cause as a cold or a nervous shock may produce a suppression of this vital function, and until it is restored she is doomed to misery. The remedy that has proved most prompt and effective in all disorders peculiar to the female sex is that which brought such great relief to Miss Mattie Griggs, of No. 807 Indiana street, Law rence, Kansas, concerning which she speaks as follows: “In the winter of 1092, from some unknown cause, thert w»s a cessation of functions pf'/ill^r my sex for a period oi f_ar months. I became very weak and could not get up stairs without help. I had nausea and pain and a constant headache. I was un der the care of a physician for three months, but he did not succeed in cur ing me. Then a lady friend told me about the merits of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which she had used in her fam ily, and she induced me to try them. It was in May when I first began to use them, and in June I had fully recovered my health, and have since remained perfectly well.” In all cases of delayed development of young girls; in anemia or weakness due to impoverished blood and show ing itself in pallor, lack of ambition, despondency and nervousness; also in the great constitutional disturbances attending the period known as the change of life, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are invaluable for women, wThose health is always closely dependent on the state of the blood. They are sold by all druggists. A booklet of valuable k information relating to the care of a ' woman's health at all important peri ods, and entitled “Plain Talks to Wo men,” will be sent free in a sealed en velope to any one who chooses to write for it to the Dr. Williams Medi cine Company, Schenectady. N. Y. Occupied Queer Pulpit. | A curious pulpit was that used by Bishop Bickersteth, who once occu pied the lantern-space of a lighthouse in which to deliver a short address to a small gathering of visitors and the lighthouse men themselves. On an other occasion the saintly old man preached in the operating theater of a hospital to a congregation of pa tients. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch because they have a stock in hand of 12 oz. brands, which they know cannot be sold to a custo mer who has once used the 16 oz. pkg. Defiance Starch for same money. A young man likes to have a girl sit up with him till midnight during courtship, but after marrage he does not want her to sit up for him that late.—Chicago News. No ehromos or cheap premiums, but a better quality and one-third more of Defiance Starch for the same price of other starches. If a girl wants to be kissed a young man doesn’t have to waste much time looking for an opportunity. u Save i on Drugs write for our 100-page catalogue, _ j showing 10.000 articles at cut prices.

An unsuccessful effort has been made in France ip revive the fair of Beaucaire on a scale comparative to that of the good old times. These fars began in the thirteenth century, and gradually rose to such proportions that in 1790, for instance, the busi ness transacted amounted to 40,000,* 000 francs. Before the middle of the last century, the railway changed all this, and today the fair is a mere shadow of its former self. . _ Great Country for Wheat. The delta of the Tigris and the Euphrates, now partially a desert and partially a swamp, contains over 5, 000,000 acres of land. Perhaps no re gion of all the regions of the earth is more favored by nature for the pro duction of cereals. It is claimed that wheat in its wild, uncultivated state has its home in the semi-arid regions, and that from here it has been trans ported to every quarter of the globe. i Oaks Named for Drttish Queen. Many English queens have chosen oak trees in Windsor forest whereon their names, with the dates of their choice, have been commemorated hy means of brass plates. In different parts of the forest, with seas around them, are oaks bearing the names of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Caroline, Queen Charlotte find Queen Victoria. London’s “Little Italy.” Reporting upon the “Little Italy” one of London’s most crowded dis tricts, the health officer of the dis trics says that the Italians are “gen erally superior” to the English per sons who are their neighbors. They also take more care of their children, among whom the death rate is low, and they are sober. Source of Petroleum. Until recently it was almost nni- j versaily believed that petroleum was. j like coal, derived from fossil vegeta tion or possibly from animals or fishes of some long past age. ?iow it is as serted by many scientific men that it may not be of any organic origin, but may be due to subterranean chemical action. Popular Taste Changed. Two generations ago an author could not make his heroine success i ful without constantly calling the slen derness of her waist to the attention ot the reader. For certain small mercies let us be duly thankful. The eighteen-inch waist is no longer the basic motif of the popular novel. Church on Mountain Top. It is proposed to build a small con crete church on the top of Croagh Patrick. County Mayo, Ireland, for the celebration of the annual pilgrimage mass.

With a flush on his warm little cheek, rose-red, And a shake of his tresses sunny, “Before the rainbow had faded away. I climbed to the top of the hill to-da>. To dig for the pot of money. “I parted the grasses that grew on the knoll; And dug and dug such a deep, deep hf'.e. Bu/ I wish my hands were stronger. I’m s:;re that the rainbow touched the ground Just there, and I might have found The gold if I d waited longer. "But I grew so tired and hot pretty soon. That, when all the bes were ringing for noon.

I don't much think, after all—do you The story they told me can be quite true; But, please, oh, please, not to mind it. “For look what I gathered and brought you instead.” . . With a dimple in each round cheek, he said: “I think they are just as splendid— A posy as big as my hand would hold. Of buttercups shining and yellow as g< -d; That grew where the rainbow ended. He poured the gay blossoms out over my knee. And lifted a pair of red lips to me, With a kiss that was sweeter than honey; And never was treasure so fair in my sight, Nor would I give one of his buttercups bright. For a pot running over with money! —Margaret Johnson. NEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD. Items of Interest Gathered from Many Sources. Thomas Neal of Chicago was re elected treasurer of the United Broth erhood of Carpenters and Joiners by acclamation. A State Federation of Labor has been organized in Utah, and efforts are to be made thoroughly to organize the workmen in that territory. The ten leading laundries of To ledo, Ohio, have declared “open shop," and as a result 200 men and girls belonging to the Laundry Workers' union are on a strike. The Monongahela works of the American Sheet and Tinplate com pany have resumed operations, giving employment to a large number of men. Efforts to bring about peace be tween the cotton manufacturers ana their employes were given a slight setback when 1,200 striking weavers held a mass meeting and by a unani mous vote decided not to return to work. At its recent convention the Work ingmen’s Federation of the state of New York decided to send a commit tee to wait on President Roosevelt and urge him to appoint William S. Waudby of Rochester, N. Y., as the successor of Carroll D. Wright. The paper mill employes of the Fox River Y’alley district in Wisconsin have sought aid from the State Fed eration of Labor in a plan to purchase and operate a mill on the co-operative plan. The union workers in the '‘trust’’ paper mills have been locked out for several months. The Chicago Sausage Makers’ union, comprising 1,000 members, which re cently seceded from the Butcher Workmen’s union, has decided to re turn to the parent body. At a meeting a vote was taken in favor of keeping within the fold of the organization of which Michael Donnelly is president. Correspondents in The Telegrapher, the official organ of the Order of Rail road Telegraphers, suggest that a general demand for a $2 a day mini mum rate of wages east of the Missis sippi river, and $2.50 a day minimum west of that stream, be adopted for all telegraphers, agents and levermen. One of the newest international unions to show rapid growth is the Brotherhood of Foundry Employes. Jurisdiction has been granted this or ganization over the cliippers, cupola tenders, grinders, mill men, handy men and helpers. Chicago has a large quota and they are enthusiastic union members. n 1 » 11. . n _111 / T_ « % £iUi^MUJCO UL IUC OUUUiilU mine, to the number of 150, struck because the miners were not per mitted to select their own ‘buddies,” or fellow-workmen. Three mines of the Island Valley Coal company are shut down because of the company’s refusal to give the night firemen an eight-hour day. The United Typothetae of America, the organization of the employing printers of the country, at its conven tion recently, threw down the gauntlet to the union printers by the adoption of resolutions “That the United Typo- [ thetae of America declares that it is opposed to any reduction of the fifty four hour week” and “that the United Typothetae of America will resist any attempt on the part of the Interna tional Typographical Union to reduce the present hours of labor.” The “readjustment” at the Joliet plant of the United States Steel cor poration has resulted in a sensational reduction of wages. Nearly all of the 4,000 men employed at the big plant are affected, and in many cases the decrease amounts to 50 per cent. The tonnage system has been eliminated and all have been placed on a flat sal ary rate. The anger of hundreds of the skilled hands is at white heat, al though many have remained at their posts, with the intention of submitting until after election. Efforts to bring about closer alli ance between the printers and the commercial telegraphers’ unions have met with fair success during the con ventions of the past summer. Now the railroad and commercial telegra phers’ organizations are talking nego tiations so that a close affiliation may result. The reports in the Commer cial Telegraphers’ Journal, a very bright paper, predict a meeting later at which an agreement between the two unions of wire clickers will be made. A wonderfully interesting value of 800 pages is a report of the census bureau dealing with the occupations of the people of the United States. It shows that in 303 specified occupa^ tions there are employed in tho United States 29,073,233 persons, of whom 10,381,765 are engaged in agri cultural pursuits, 1,253,538 in profes sional service, 4,766,904 in trade and transportation, and 7,085,309 in manu facturing and mechanical pursuits. In the professional service there are more teachers than physicians, more physicians than lawyers, and more lawyers than clergymen. The Structural Building Trades Al liance, composed of the principal in dustries in the building trades unions, is designed to regulate the organized building trades as to bring about har mony between employers and work men throughout that industry* to en courage the investment cf capital in the structural operations, to substi tute arbitration for strikes and lock outs. and to mak*e impossible any where such a situation as has existed until of late in the building trades in New York city. The lowest wages in Germany pre vail in the purely agricultural districts in the eastern provinces, adjoining Russia. The highest wages are paid in the German seaports and in the industrial centers. The hours of la bor are never less than ten a day, and are frequently twelve. “When it is borne in mind that the necessaries oi life, like meats and breadstuffs. are as high and even higher than in the United States, and that rents oi houses are nearly if not tfuite as high, the wages of unskilled laborers seem very low to an American,” says United States Consul Guenther, who is sta tioned at Frankfort, Germany. “Do you want the eight-hour day.’ That is the question now agitating tht printers under the jurisdiction of th< International Typographical union The membership all over North America is voting on the question ci indorsing the plan to inaugurate the eight-hour day in the book and jot offices of the country on Jan. 1, 1906 Reports received at the headquarters of the parent body in Indianapolis indicate that nearly 200 chapels ir New York and Chicago have indorsed the measure, and the local unions have been instructed to take a refer endum vote, completing the vote noi later than Oct. 21, and sending the result to the International officers be fore the expiration of the month. The premium system so strongly advocated by the National Metal Trades Council and other anti-union associations of employers is not likely to find much support among the Brit ish trades unionists. By agreement with the Employers’ Federation the Amalgamated Society of Engineers some time aao decided to give the system a trial. The trial proved sc satisfactory to the employers that they endeavored to extend the opera tion of the system. Thereupon the Engineering and Shipbuilding Trades Federation, which includes twenty seven unions—practically the whole engineering trades outside the A. S. S. —promptly appointed a committee to consider the matter. That committee has now reported and condemned any attempt to make the system general. By a vote of 8,759 to 4,135 the Brick layers and Stonemasons’ union has decided not to affiliate with the Struc tural Building Trade Alliance. The Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, at their recent convention, submitted the question of remaining affiliated with the alliance to a referendum vote. Altogether it looks as if the “basic” building trades conglomera tion launched by George Gubbins, “Bill” Spencer, Frank Duffy and Frank Buchanan is having a hard time to keep its head above water. It is really too bad. because it furnishes a position for Spencer at $l,5u0 a year and allows Frank Buchanan to be the head of a real federation of labor. What's the difference if it is about as much needed as a fifth wheel to a wagon?—Chicago Inter Ocean. The semi-annual report of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorator? and Paperhangers has just been senl out to the local unions from head quarters at Lafayette, Ind. While the decreased activity in the building in dustry during the year has resulted in a loss of membership of building trades organizations, the brotherhood is an exception. In the six month? covered by the report 7,412 new mem bers were added to the roll and 4,244 were reinstated, a total increase oi 11,656. During this period, however 10,154 members were suspended, mak ing the net increase in membership 1,502. Charters were issued to fiftyj one new local unions. According to the financial statement the balance on hand Jan. 1, 1904, was $18,977.04, and the receipts for the six months amounted to $7d.195.32 and the expen ditures to $81,S67.06. leaving a balance) in the treasury of $12,305.30. The death and disability claims paid foi the six months aggregated $21,925, and the total amount paid by the brotherhood from March, 1887, amounted to $179,075.15. James O'Connell, president of the International Association of Machin ists, sends out a warning to local unions to be careful in their selection of officers, because of the detective system through which employers are seeking to destroy the organization. He says: “I know of no organization that has been so infested with spies and spotters as the International As sociation of Machinists has been, and is at the present time. Why our em ployers should be so persistent in their efforts to employ so-called detec tives to secretly report the business of our association is beyond my com prehension. Machinists are employed by several detective associations with the understanding that they must hold membership in our association They are advised to go into our local lodges, make themselves active in the work of the local, and whenever pos sible secure appointment or election to the position of recording or finan' cial secretary, or president—record ing secretary being preferred—in or der that they might be in a position to secure all correspondence between the local and grand lodges. I take this opportunity of warning our mem bership against the policy of selecting those with whom you are not thor oughly familiar and acquainted to fill the official chairs in the local lodges. I have every regard for the traveling brother, but believe that the officers should be chosen from the permanent residents in the locality where the lodge is in existence.” Character. The habit of industry can be ac luired as easily as the habit of idle ness. But it is always the naan or boy of character who intrenches him self with good habits, and it is always the moral weakling, the characterless person, who becomes the slave of evil habits. Accomplishments are either helps or hindrances to genuine suc cess. High qualities of character alone can make them worth wrhile, mighty, and enduring. Virtues of the Amethyst. The amethyst, in days of chivalry, was believed to have great power for good in battles. The wearer wTas ren dered brave, far being and honorable. The amethyst was also said to destroy the craving for lquor, which was as prevalent in those days cs it is in this. Many Days Without Sleep.

The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. “ If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold afc this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished consider ! ably.
