The Pioneer Medicine
is Ayers Sarsapartlla
Before sarsaparillas were known ,
fifty years ago , it began
its work. Since
i then you can count
# : tlie sarsa
parillas
by the
thousands
with every
variation
of imita
tion of the
original , except -
cept one.
They have
never been
able to im
itate the
quality of
the pioneer.
" " When you
see Aytfs on
a bottle of sarsaparilla -
parilla that is
enough ; you can
have confidence at once. If you want an
'experiment , buy anybody's Sarsaparilla ; if
you want a cure , you must buy
[ The Sarsaparilla which made Sarsaparilla famous ]

HARNESSING THE NILE.
Sohanio Worthy of it Kninesus or n
1'hnrnuli.
Engineering skill Is to rearrange nn
turc's surface on the Egyptian frontier ,
nntl pond bnck Into Nubia a body ot
water 140 miles long , crossing the tro
pic of Cancer nnd extending Boutlnviml
nearly to Korosko a goodly step on
the journey to Abu-Shnbol and Wady-
Halfa by means of a lyreat clam across
the Nile at Assunn , says the Century.
The pyramids and the Sphinx have
born testimony through the centuries
to the grandeur and power of execution
which dwelt within the Nile valley ;
and what more fitting now that the
same valley bo the theater of n gigan
tic exploit , audacious perhaps , but cer
tain of success , and ministering to
man's necessities , rather than to his
vanity ? As n building achievement
the scheme is on n scale worthy of n
Rameses or a Pharaoh. To create in
the heart of the African desert a lake
having from two to three times the su
perficial area of Lake Qonova , in Swit
zerland , nnd control It with scientific
precision , so that the Impounded llooli
may bo turned Into distant channels
nt will , is n stupendous undertaking.
But the engineers claim that their
plans can bo carried out to the letter ;
they have estimated the exact coat of
the dam , .computed almost to the gnl-
lon the volume of water that will bo
imprisoned , and figured the necessary
resistance to be provided at every point
of the masonry. In Cairo , the experts
of the ministries of public works nnd
finance , likewise , have calculated to a
nicety the sum from taxation that will
come into the public treasury through
the country's augmented productive
ness. Subordinate to the great dam , a
smaller one , not unlike the barrage at
the apex of the delta , ten miles north
of Cairo , is to bo made at Asslut. Tts
functions will' bo to give a sufllcient
head to the river to force the water
into the system of irrigation canals
that vein hundreds of thousands of
acres between Asslut and Cairo. The
completion of the Cairo barrage ( it was
begun by Mehemet All Pasha , from
the plans of a French engineer , but not
made effective until England took the
country in hand ) so developed cotton
culture as to add to the public revenue
of the country at least $10,000,000 annu
ally. It may bo safely concluded that
the Assuan reservoir Is but ono of a
series which will in time bo construct
ed southward to the Victoria Nyanza.
The re-establishment of khedlval au
thority at Khartoum will dotermlno
this.
FROLIC OF THE TORPEDO BOAT.
In the earlier clays of the war , while
the excitement of the now condition of
affairs was still at its height , the com
manders of the different craft engaged
in the blockade of Havana were rest
less under the monotony of their du
ties , and sometimes did things that
were not ordered by the commander-
in-chief. So writes a naval corre
spondent of the Companion , and he
proceeds to narrate a pretty lively ad
venture as a case In point.
One particularly dark night the cap
tain of a torpedo-boat decided to take
advantage of the darkness and run
well In toward the Morro. With all
lights doused , the boat steamed slowly
toward the entrance of the harbor until
her crew could hear plainly the surf
breaking on the rocks under the 'cas
tle. " While the boat rolled lazily in
the swell , the officers tried to make out
the guns and the fortifications at the
harbor mouth.
Suddenly , as the boat gave a heavy
roll , the switch which turned on the
private night signal was moved , and a
blaze of red and white lights Illumi
nated the entire boat. Every ono made
a dash to break the connection. In the
rush the colored cook managed * o roll
overboard , and as ho went over the
side he grabbed at everything handy.
Among the things ho took hold of , un
fortunately , was the whistle rope.
If the boat had been foundering ,
nothing more could have been done to
attract attention. The big search-light
on the Morro twitched around In an
uncertain manner , and turned slowly
toward the boat. Before it reached
them the people on the torpedo-boat
managed to turn off the signal ; the
spasmodic shrieking of the whistle
stopped when the cook was hauled
aboard , and the boat escaped In the
darkness without a shot being fired at
her.
The next time his boat wont In , the
captain took In his private night sig
nal and the cook had orders to stay in
the galley.
Htcmiislilp StatlHtln.
There arc fully 1,000 tons of piping
of various kinds In the average Atlan
tic liner. The furnaces will consume
no less than 7,500,000 cubic feet of
air an hour. The boiler tubes , If placed
In a straight line , would stretch near
ly ten miles , and the condenser tubes
more than twenty-five miles. The to
tal number of separate pieces of oteel
In the main structure of the ship Is
not less than 40,000 , and the total num
ber of cubic feet of timber used In the
construction Is more than 100,000. The
total number of rivets Is not far from
1,250,000.

ho became general freight agent , awl
eight years later was appointed freight
trnttlo manager. Mr. Johnson began
his railroad career In 1871 as station

wnrtt went through the positions of

The recent order of the Baltimore &

The locomotive purchases during that
time have been 210 , of which about 20

William C. K. Wilde , the younger
brother of Oscar Wilde , who tiled In
London several days ago , came to Now
York after marrying . rs. Frank Les
lie In 1S91 with the intention of writIng -
Ing for publication. Ho had been con
nected with various English papers In
a desultory fashion for several years ,
but had never displayed any marked
ability us a writer. Mr. Wilde was
tall , young and of pleasant address.
Ills style of writing did not commend
itself to any of the Now York news
papers , and during his stay In Now
York he WOH apparently a man of leis
ure , spending most of his tlmo at the
Lotus club. The divorce which freed
Mrs. Leslln from her English husband
was not unexpected by the men who
knew him.
bomo men's charitable contributions
are confined to suggestions.
The average man Is bettor at con
fessing the irlstakes of other people
than ho is at acknowledging his own.

Is woman's natural destiny.
MOTHERHOOD arc dented the happiness of children
through sonic derangement of the generative organs.
Actual barrenness' is fare.
Among the niany'lriumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the overcoming of cases
of supposed barrenness. This ! great
medicine is so well calculated to regu
late every function of the generative or
gans that its efficiency is vouched for
by multitudes of women ,
MKR. En. WOI.KOUD , of Lone Tree , .
Iowa , writes :
"DuAuMus. PiNKitAM Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I had ono child which lived only six
hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment
while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during preg
nancy. In time I conceived ugain , nnd
thought I would write to you for advice.
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel
towards you for the help that your medi
cine was to me during this time. I
felt like a new person ; did my work
up to the last , and wab sick only a
short time. My baby weighed ten
pounds. Ho is a fine boy , the
joy of our home. He is now six
weeks old and weighs sixteen
pounds. Your medicine is cer
tainly a boon in pregnancy. "
MRS. FLORA COOVUR , of
Doyle , S. Dak. , writes :
" DUAU MRS. PINKIIAM
Ever since my last child I
Buffered with inGammation of
the womb , pains in back , left
side , abdomen and groins. My
head ached all the time. I ,
could not walk across the floor
withoutsuffering intense pain.
I kept getting worse , until
two years ago I wrote to you
for advice , and began taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
I had not finished the firtu bottle before I felt bettor. I took
four bottles , and have been strong nnd perfectly healthy ever
since , and now have two of the nicest little girls. "
