Expert Ocean Mail Sorters.
One of the most interesting perform
ances of modern times is the handling
of the mails in great ocean steam
ships. Some of the men become so
expert at sorting that they work al
most automatically, many of them be
ing able to put their finger on any
particular town marked on the rack
blindfolded. On an ordinary western
trip they carry on an average about
250,000 letters and some 10,000 regis
tered packets. The latter have all to
be written up iu detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The
officials do not always manage to fin
ish the work by the time they reach
port, and when such is the case they
accompany what is left to the general
post office and complete the job there.

Tibetan Printing.
Great printing works are estab
lished at Nartang. in Tibet. A corre
spondent says: 'There are thousands
and thousands of blocks at Nartang,
comprising matter in type equivalent
to numerous different volumes. Each
wooden block is about 24 inches long
by 12 inches wide, one face having
oarved upon it a complete page of
lettering. The method of printing is
primitive in the extreme and consists
of laying the paper on a flat surface
and levering the block upon it with a
long handle much as the village black
smith works his bellows."
Revolt Against Trading Stamps.
"No more trading stamps," is the
slogan of a campaign which English
grocerymen are carrying on. One of
them, whose shop is in East London,
says: "There is not a small grocer in
England who earns 15 per cent on his
capital. Ten per cent is average profit
and the cost of trading stamps leaves
him only about 614 per cent.

TIERE are a host of petty ailments

weather.
This is more true of the excessive
beat of summer and the intense cold
of winter, but is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether it be a cold or a cough,

whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.

WHAT HE VALUED MOST I
By Ralph Henry Barbour
(Copyright, 1906, by Joseph K. Bowles.)
One afternoon she had heard
.lovers in the hall, and knew that
he fourth-floor studio had been taken,
"'he next morning unfamiliar sounds
ell from above—a man’s voice, deep
,nd musical, leaping up and down the
•eale. a cheerful, companionable tor
ent of melody that brought a respon
iive smile to her face.
Next day she had learned his name,
seeking’ letters from the pile in the
ower hall, she had found a colorman's
atalogue addressed to "John Tim
■•on, Esq.” She had smiled a.t the
tame; Timson was so unusual and
tuaint and—funny! John she liked;
icr father's name had been John. All
he morning, as she worked at her
•opper bowls and candlesticks, she
strove to picture a personality be
itting the name of John Timson.
A week later she saw him.
After that they bowed, and then
-poke. Meetings became frequent.
Aside from the little weazened
iealer in old ivories and curi
isities on the first floor, they were
he only occupants of the house
.vho made it their home. That served
is a bond of sympathy, and they soon
.tiscovered others. They were both
orphans, and both without near rela
tives; they were both struggling for
■ecogDition—he as a painter of land
scapes in oils, she as a worker in
netals. And then there were minor
sympathies born of similar tastes and
views which came to light in the first
rear of their friendship.
It became his custom to drop into
acr room for a moment on his way
up and down stairs, and then in the
evenings for long, enjoyable talks,
while he sat in her one easy-chair
ind smoked and she worked away at
an order or did her mending. Once a
week he descended ceremoniously,
mmaculatcly clean, hut diffusing a
strong odor of paint, and took lunch
with her, gravely marveling at the
iisplay and pretended alarm at her
recklessness.
Once he had returned her hospital
ty—he had sold a small canvas—and
.hey had dined sumptuously at one
;nd of the paint-stained table on lob
ster cutlets and French peas and as
paragus, sent in chilled, but appetiz
ing, from the cafe across the square.
And he had made marvelous cofTee
in an old copper kettle, and had pro
juced a bottle of olives, which, he sol
emnly declared, had been two years
awaiting the occasion.
Usually he called for her at the
nstitute in Brooklyn—she still at
ended an evening class three times a
week—and brought her home.
Once they had walked back across
he bridge on a brisk winter night,
‘he white stars above them, the pur
ple lamps advancing and meeting
‘.hem along their path, and the lemon
ind red and green lanterns twink
ling up from boats ana pier neaas.
That night she had heard his story.
He had told her of a boyhood spent
!n a little town in western Missouri,
his first dim dissatisfaction with
his lot and his growing hatred for
toil in his father's squalid "general
store;” how at his father’s death—his
mother he had never known—he had
lone to St. Louis, where he had
clerked by day and studied art by
night, until, with $2,000 saved, he had
come to New York and entered the
league. He had spent three years
chere, and then had buried himself
In the Jersey woods, living like a her
mit, in a hut of his own building, and
uainting from dawn to dusk, fair days
and foui.
“And now,” he had ended, “they're
beginning to know me. I’ve sold a
'ew canvases, mostly through Ruy
ter. Ruyter believes in me. The
hing I'm working on now is for the
academy. It’s going to take a year;
but it’s good, it's the best I have in
me—and it's going to be hung.”
“Oh, I do so hope so!” she had said,
earnestly.
"I’ve never doubted it,” he had an
swered, simply. “It's a big stake,
but—I’m going to win!”
And so that first year had passed,
and the second of their friendship
was three months old.
One afternoon—the morrow was the
•ast day for receiving canvases at the
academy—he entered her room, and
sank silently into his accustomed
ehair. She looked up questioningly
from the silver buckle on which she
was working.
“Finished,” he said, gloomily.
“Does it go to-day?”
“To-morrow; it isn’t quite dry yet.
I suppose I ought to be glad, but—”
he smiled forlornly—‘I only feel rath
er lonesome.” He filled and lighted
his pipe. "Do you care to see it
again?”
“Oh. yes,” she answered, eagerly.
Upstairs he drew aside the yellow
sh cloth, and laid bare the canvas on
which he had toiled for almost a year,
•t was large, six feet by four, and
undoubtedly an ambitious efiort for
what might be called a first picture,
yet the result was so splendid that
‘.he artist's faith in its success seemed
justified.
He had called it “August”—a wide,
far-reaching expanse of salt-marsh
ribboned with blue, breeze-ruffled wa
:er; along the horizon a dim purple
haze, a suggestion but no more of
the city; against the clear sky great
white thunder-ciouds rolled high upon
each other in majestic grandeur.
“It’s glorious!” she whispered,
finally.
iuu unc 11 . uc uonvu, aiuii/av
eagerly.
“I love It! But—” she sighed—
“how It makes one hate the city,
doesn't it?”
His eyes lighted. “Yes; and we're I
going away from the city,” he said, J
with a ring in his voice. "We’re
through work to-day, and we’re going
—there! Get your things on.”
That day was a day of days. Win
ter reigned kindly. They crossed the
river, and spent the afternoon in the
woods and along the edge of the
marshes, returning long after the city
i was aglow. They had dinner at a
cafe, for when one has finished a pic
ture that is to bring fame and wealth,
economy is a sinful thing. Back in
her studio they talked until late.
The windows were gray with the,
cold dawn when he awoke suddenly,
and stared about him. In a moment
he was out of bed and had thrown
open the hall door. Smoke, thick and
stifling, drifted in. At the bottom of
the staircase-well orange light danced
and glowed. Throwing his clothes on.
he lifted the picture from the easel,
and staggered with it down the first
flight. The smoke made him choke
and gasp. The next flight was miles
long. At the bottom he dropped the
picture, and as it toppled against the
baluster he leaped to Beth's door and
knocked loudly.
"Who is there?” came the question
at once.
“It is Mr. Timson. The house is on
fire. There’s no danger, of course,
but you must come quickly.”
“Yes," she answered, faintly.
He buried his face in his elbow,
leaning against the wall. Once he
started impetuously toward the pic
ture, only to turn back. The crack
ling of the flames drowned now even
the noise at the door. Then Beth
stood before him, white-faced, anxious
eyed, but unafraid.
“Down the stairs, quick!” he cried.
“I’ll follow you.”
“You mustn’t stay!” she cried, fear
fully.
"The picture," he answered. “Go,
please.” He seized his burden again,
and staggered down the hall, gasping
and lurching. There he found her
He Seized His Burden Again.
crouching on the top step. He put
the picture aside, and caught her in
his arms.
"Hide your face," he said.
She struggled, sobbing. "No, no!
Let me go! You mustn’t leave it!”
“I’ll come back for it,” he answered,
quietly. "Courage, little girl; it’s just
for a minute.”
Then he plunged down the stairs,
past -writhing tongues of flame. Set
ting Beth upon her feet, he led her
across the street. On the stoop he
turned. "I must go back,” he said,
gently. "I won’t be long.”
She waited and watched, fearful
and wretched for his sake. Presently
he returned empty-handed.
"It was no use,” he explained. "The
halls are in flames.”
"Oh,” the moaned, "I wish you had
never seen me. It's gone—all your
work—and hope!” She glanced up
miserably, to find his grave eyes smil
ing.
"Hush, hush," he whispered, ten
derly. “I ve saved what 1 valued most,
dear.”
The color flared into her white face
and she swayed dizzily until his arm
went out and drew her to him.
"Beth,” he whispered.
She raised her eyes slowly to his.
They looked, he thought, like pale
dew-wet violets. He bent his face,
her lids fluttered dow n, and their lips
met.
“Little girl,” he said, presently,
“we’re pretty well cleaned out, you
and I, aren’t we?”
“Yes,” she answered, softly.
“It wouldn't matter, if only you
could have saved the picture,” she
said, dolefully.
“Never mind the picture,” he re
plied, steadily. “I’ll do it again, and
better.” Then he whispered: “Look.”
Above the sleeping city, toward the
east, a faint rose flush was dispelling
the dawn's gray gloom.
“A new day out of the embers of
the night,” she said, softly.
He bent again and kissed her. "And
for us, dear, a new life out of the
ashes of the old.”
TOOK THE SOVEREIGN.
An automobllist who was touring
through the country saw, walking
ahead of him, a man followed by a
dog. As the machine drew near them
the dog started suddenly to cross the
road; he was hit by the car and killed
immediately. The motoist stopped his
machine and approached the pedes
trian.
"I'm very sorry, my man, that this
has happened," he said. “Will a sov
ereign make it all right?”
"Oh, yes,” said the man; “I sup
pose so.”
Pocketing the money as the car
disappeared in the distance, he looked
down at the dead animal.
“I wonder whose dog it was?” he
said.

fall?’ asked his neighbor.
“Purty fair. Sowed 11, got 7,” was
John’s laconic answer.

NATURE PROVIDES
FOR SICK WOMEN
a more potent remedy in the roots
and herbs of the field than was ever
produced from drugs.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers few drugs were
used in medicines and Lydia E.
Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., in her
study of roots and herbs and their
power over disease discovered and
gave to the women of the world a
remedy for their peculiar ills more
potent and efficacious than any
combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value, i
During its record of more than thirty years, its long list of actual
cures of those serious ills peculiar to women, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidence of every fair minded
person and every thinking woman.
When women are troubled with irregular or painful functions,
i weakness, displacements, ulceration or inflammation, backache,
flatulency, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they
should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
No other remedy in the country has such a record of cure9 of
female ills, and thousands of women residing in every part of the United
States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable compound aDd what it has done for them.

HEALTH AND SPIRITS
Are Restored by Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills in Cases of Debility and
Despondency.
General debility Is caused by men
tal or physical overwork with imper
fect assimilation of nourishment, or
by some acute disease from which
the vital forces have been prostrated
and the entire organism weakened so
as not to easily rally. To restore
health it is necessary that the blood
should be purified and made new.
The ease of Mrs. E. M. Spears, of
92 Mt. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass.,
is a common one and is given here in
order that others may be benefited by
her experience. She says: “I had been
sick for a year from indigestion an.l
general debility brought on by over
work and worry. I had tried many
remedies, but found no relief. I suf
fered from swelling of the limbs, loss
of appetite and dizzy speiis, which be
came so severe towards night, that 1
sometimes fainted away. I was bil
ious and my hands and arms would
go to sleep for an hour or two at a
time. 1 was so sleepy all the time
that I could hardly keep awake. )
had frequent cramps in my limbs and
severe pains at the base of my head
and in my back. My blood was ira
| poverisbed. I was afraid to give up
| and go to bed fearing that I would
i never get well.
“About this lime Dr. William's’
Pink Pills were recommended to me
by a friend in South Vernon, Vt. 1
felt better soon after beginning tbe
treatment and continued until I was
entirely cured. I consider Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills a grand medicine
for weak women.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold
