I was so run down that I could not sleep at night, had no appetite and felt tired in the morning. “/ tried many tonics, but Peruna was the only thing which helped me in the least.

OWL1SC1EHT _ — — At no season of the year do the Shops have a more attractive display of crockery and table furnishings than just now. Many of the satisfactory standard patterns in breakfast, dinner and tea sets are being shown, and as they are all carried in what the deal ers call open stock, they may be pur chased in any quantity, from a tea cup or a plate to complete a broken set to as many dozen pieces as may be need ed. One of the new patterns to be seen this year is the Yorkshire ware, particularly suitable for clubs or houses where everything is on a very large scale. The background is rather a deep cream, almost yellow, with dec orations of flowers in conventional de signs done in deep red and blues and greens, the whole effect being so strik ing that it requires space, and for that reason is much more suitable for din ing rooms of large dimensions than for small rooms which Tequire fittings of daintier design and color. A design particularly suitable for these smaller dining rooms is Dresden ware, with a cream background and a clearly defined pattern of flowers in a medium blue, or Bedford ware, the de sign of which is similar to the old wil low pattern, except that the colors are red and blue instead of blue only. French faience is a comparatively new ware, having many attractive pos sibilities. Like most things French, it is dainty in both color and design, the figures being slightly raised and the surface rather highly glazed. The fruit plates shown in the above illustra tion are of this ware and as will be seen the edges are irregularly scal loped instead of being perfectly smooth. Welsh rabbit sets in this ware include beside the plate of deli cate green with delightfully vague lit tle rabbits hopping about on them, beer mues to match of a most fasci nating shape, and the whole set of twelve plates and mugs comes in a case which is a clever imitation of a huge Edam cheese. Following out this same idea there are sets of orange plates, the decorations of which are oranges in pale misty yellows, with a gigantic orange for a case, and water melon plates whose decorations are only equaled in lusciousness by the big watermelons that holds them. Among the styles of china ware particularly suitable for summer time foods are the well known but very ap propriate salad sets, consisting of a deep bowl and plates of green ware resembling lettuce leaves. These sets have two good qualities; they are at tractive to the eye and they are very reasonable in price, and while not so much of a novelty as some other large designs, their good qualities are last ing. The newer salad bowls have per forated bottoms and are set in deep plates. These perforations allow any moisture to drip through, so that ice may be placed in the bowl and the salad kept cold and crisp without be coming too wet. An ice bowl made with this same improvement is also shown in the illQstration. Other novelties which seem to be growing in favor are grape fruit glasses and caviar sets. These, as seen in the illustration, are long stemmed glasses filled with crushed ice, into which the smaller glasses holding the caviar or grape fruit are placed. Some of these glasses are of the most elaborate designs of Bohem ian glass, with raised gold decorations and are correspondingly expensive, but they also come in plain glass at more reasonable prices. A breakfast set is shown above in the new Cauldon ware, whose plain white surface, relieved only by wide bands of silver, makes it most accept able for summer use, particularly in a house the object of whose general col or scheme is to give an effect of cool ness and airiness. Washstand sets, as well as table ware, are also to be had in this white and silver design, and in an all-white bedroom a set of Caul don ware carries out the general ef fect in a way that is most satisfac tory. Especially attractive to those who admire the old fashioned Wedgwood j ware are the tea sets now shown in brown wedgwood. The old blue and JUST A TRIVIAL OVERSIGHT. Young Lady Typewriter Had Forgot ten Only One Thing. Edward Moffett, the labor editor who has gone with Chairman Shont; to Panama, was talking one day Iasi month to a reporter. “Qood labor, skilled labor,” he said •will always command a high wage It is in good, skilled labor’s interesl that I am going to Panama, and wbal I find out there will be, I believe, ol benefit equally to the canal commis sion and to the men I represent. “The men I represent,” said Mr Moffett, “are skilled men. They are not like the young lady typewriter whom a Camden politician hired. “This politician was preparing tc deliver a four-hour speech on munic ipal corruption or some such topic He spent a week in getting his notes together and reading up articles Then, one hot afternoon, he sat down with the young woman typewriter and began to reel off the speech as he was to speak it at the meeting. “She didn’t take shorthand notes, She said she didn’t need to. Instead, she took the speech direct on tbe ma chine. “So on and on he spoke, fingering his notes thoughtfully, and clackety clack-clack went the typewriter, keep ing up with him bravely. “The sun rolled westward and sank a red wafer and golden flame as this lengthy ended. “Then the politician sighed with re lief, got up and lit a cigar. He was glad to be through. “But the young lady typewriter said in a calm voice: “ ‘Would you mind repeating that speech all over again? I forgot to put any paper in the machine.’ ”—Phila delphia Bulletin. Unlucky Friday. Bishop McCabe relates the following story: “Once upon a time I was in a rail road accident. It was one of the only two I have ever experienced, and I have traveled over 750,00 miles on trains and steamers, three times as far as from here to the moon. "A broken wheel threw the train off the track. The car I was in was shat tered very much. Seated just ahead of me was an elderly lady who was suffering from rheumatism. It was nesessary to change cars. I helped her off the car, carried her valise, and gave her the support of my arm. Be hind us came a noble looking English lady with her husband by her side. “She was scolding him well for starting on their journey on Friday, ‘I told you, James.’ she said, ‘something would happen if we should start on Friday.’ “Madam,” said I, “do you know that Columbus set sail to discover Ameri ca on Friday?” “She looked at me with indigna tion and said: ‘Sir, in my opinion it is a great pity America was ever dis covered at all.’ ’’—Northwestern Chris tian Advocate. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Home. The house in which Harriet Beech er Stowe lived for a number of years in Hartford is now being torn down to make room for the advancing fac tories. From Earth’s Far Corners —* *_._ Shipping from All Over the World Brings Merchandise to the Harbor of New York to Find American Market. To present to the mind an easily conjured picture of New York harbor one might make the comparison of the upturned right hand, with the long, straight forefinger for the lower stretch of the Hudson, with the thumb, joint turned out, standing for the bent East river and the palm of the hand representing upper New York bay, says Harper’s. The three together make up the harbor of New York. As Hudson river shelters most of the North Atlantic liners while in port, so does East river harbor those that go to make up the truly foreign fleets. Here they are. pier after pier of them—the steamers that go to the far countries. Mind the roll—Brazil. Argentine, Chile, Peru, west coast of Africa, Australia. India. China, Japan. And hark again to the call of the ports —Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, Valpa raiso, St. Paul de Loanda. Cape Town, Tamatave, Sydney, Singapore, Hong kong, Yokohama. And the strange stuff of their cargoes—rubber from the Amazon swamps—see the naked Indians tapping the trees and the slimy reptiles in the shadowy ooze_ horn and tallow from the pampas— mark the centaur-like vaquero and his whirling riata—gold dust, ivory, palm oil from the west coast. Dreams for you there! Palm oil and gold dust and ivory; elephants and sacrificial fires and trains of captive slaves; temp, tea, silks and smuggled opium and do not believe that opium is not smuggled into New York harbor to this day. You think of all that and your imagination flames. The gentlemen in the pilot houses are not always in placid moods. Wild eyed men glare from their pilot houses aloft, like eagles from their eyries, and pass the time of day. Says one: • Where d’ y’ think you’re going? Back will you!” And the other: “Back? Me back’ Me?” "You! Yes, you, you slop-eyed, slack-mouthed, spine-twisted, fresh water goob—you square-head, father less—’’ And so on, detailing irreme diable flaws in the geneology, after which both back down and avert the impending collision. Expressions Little Understood. By the way, how odd it is that good ladies are shocked at hearing a “tin ker's dam” nsed in this reckless man ner. The fact is ’tis not a “cuss” word. A tinker’s dam refers not to the spiritual future of the tinker, but to a small dam of clay used in an old-fashioned tinker’s outfit; hence tinker’s dam, something very inconsequential. And while we are on’t, probably the most idiotic expression in the world is: “The exception proves the rule.” Now the exception to the rule dofes not prove the rule; a rule with an excep tion really is no rule at all. The expression really means that the legal exception (to the ruling of the court) proves (i. e., tests old meaning) the rule of the court when the appeal is taken.—Los Angeles Times. Noble Example. A little touch of noble life, like this described by the New York Commer cial, ought to have a wide icfiuence: "A story is told by Robert Ogden, * about a friend of his, not long dead. who held securities in a certain rail road. Being told, and from a source to leave no doubts, that the road was about to collapse, he refused to sell, j not wishing to shift the loss upon a , purchaser. He had no large amount j of money, but he was rich in some- : thing better. With all the venal trick- j ery that is being exposed, it is refresh- i ing to believe that men like this exist iu America in larger numbers to-day than they did five, a dozen or twenty years ago.” Agreed About Argument. Abe Gruber tells this on himself: In the course of the last campaign he ac costed a Democratic friend on the street, and enteied into a discussion., maintained principally by Mr. Gruber, on the merits of the two candidates. After Mr. Gruber had attempted un successfully for half an hour to elicit an answer from his friend, he finally said: “Well, what do you think of my ar gument? Don’t you think it sound?” "Yes,” responded his friend thought fully, “that's exactly what it is— sound.”—New York Times. The Guest and the Waiter. A dainty stranger wafted into the dining room of a hotel in Smith Cen ter, Kan., the other day, and as the chair was held back for him pulled out his handkerchief and dusted the seat carefully. Pulling up his trousers, he seated himself, wiped the knife, fork and spoon with a napkin, worried a few crumbs off the table and heaved a sigh of relief. Without hesitation the girl who stepped forward to take his order deftly wiped the stranger’s mouth, which had been drawn into a pucker of dissatisfaction at the imagin ary untidiness abounding, and planted a kiss thereon that was plainly heard in all parts of the room. The dainty stranger when he recovered ordered meekly, ate hurriedly and left quickly. —Kansas City Journal. Expensive Naval Target. Probably the most elaborate and costly target in the world has just been launched by the New York navy yard. The tarket is almost an exact duplicate of a section from the hull of a battleship and is estimated to have cost $50,000 j PERFORATED Jw ICC BOWL ,j and water ' CRESS MSH the more delicate shades in Wedg wood are, of course, well known, but the brown seems to be rather a novel ty, and is decidedly pretty, the white figures standing out clearly against the dark background and forming a unique contrast. The teapot sugar bowl and cream pitcher are, however, more satisfactory for general use than the cups, as it does not seem quite ap petizing to drink out of a cup of so somber a shade as brown. Among the novelties recently seen in glassware there was an opalescent flower vase of unusual design. The vase proper was in the form of alily, and the delicate colors in the glass, with the opaque base representing a leaf and the branches formed by the buds, make a most effective decora tion for the center of the table. For use in a low, flat bowl, to be filled with short-stemmed flowers that have a tendency to slide out of sight, there is a clever arrangement that looks like a coarse wire netting, which fits into the bowl, through which the stems of the flowers are to be thrust. By us ing this the same effect of a mass of flowers can be obtained, and only about half the quantity of flowers need be used. A number of new and pretty designs in cut glass bonbon dishes are exhib ited. one of the most attractive being in the shape of a three-leaf clover; and speaking of clover, there was seen in one of the lgrge crockery shops the other day an ice tub of some sort of white ware, with decorations of green clover leaves, one of the coolest and most summery looking articles imag inable.

STOP, WOMAN 1 AND CONSIDER ^ THE ALL- £| IMPORTANT FACT ^3 That in address ing Mrs. Pink ham you are eon fidingyour private ills to a woman— a woman whose experi ence with women’s diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private trou bles to a man— a besides a man J^X uwo UVU U UUCi * stand—simply be cause he is a man Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assist ance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them selves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a wo man whose knowledge from actual ex perience is great. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. 8urely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinl* ham. Lynn. Mass., for special advice.
