w Wearying , ceaseless backache. Dull , exhausting and constant pain. i No comfort by day. No rest at night. Aches in the small of the back , pain low down in the side. No spirit for any taslc , no hope for relief. Great numbers of women are not free from backache from one year's end to another. Among Mrs. Pinkham's victories there is none more complete than that over backache , and the evi dence of thousands of women prove that she is its conqueror. Mrs. C. Klenk , of Wells , Minn. ( Box 151) , writes : DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I suffered for years- with a long list of troubles , and I want to thank you for my complete recovery. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a wonderful medicine for women. 4I had severe female complaints , causing terrible backache and nervous pros tration ; was dizzy most o > the time , had headache and such a tired feeling. I now have taken seven bottles of your Compound and have also used the Sanative Wash and feel like a new woman. I must say I never had any thing help me so much. I have better health than I ever had in my life. I sleep well at night , and can work all clay without feeling tired. I give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all the credit , for I know it has cured me of all my troubles. I would not do without your remedies for anything. " When a woman has severe back ache she has some serious trouble that will sooner or later declare itself. Mrs. E. Furton , of H Hich. , found that her I ache v/as caused by a tumor , which ] three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound expelled. This is Mrs. Furton's ' letter : DEAR MRS. PINKHAM Two years ago I was troubled with constant backache and headache , and was very nervous. ieade , back //I / i resolved to try your medicine and took two bottles ' R ( / of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and on ' \ * taking the third a tumor was expelled. I was a little frightened and sent for the doctor ; and he said that it was fortunate for me that it came away. I got quite well after that and have your Compound alone to thank for my ' " recovery. The safe way to guard against trouble is to get Mrs. Pinkham's advice when the back ache first appears. A letter to her at Lynn , Mass. , describing your case fully will receive a prompt reply without charge. fe DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I wish to tell you the great good your medicine has done me. I do not feel like the same woman. I hare suffered terribly. Had womb and kindey trouble , leucorrhcea , very severe pains in hips and sides of abdomen , headache , was nervous , menses were irregular. ( I have now taken four bottles of your Vegetable Compound , and the backache has left me , menses are regular , can sleep a well , and awake in the morning feeling much rested. Your medicine is indeed a friend to women. I wish that I could tell every woman what a wonderful medicine it ; s. I cannot praise it enough , " firs. Anna J. Fenstermaker Pine 5 u mm it. Pa. Lydia E.

An Ancient Economist Who It Would Ruin the Country. The New York Telegram notes that the lirst stage coach seen in England was about the year 1533 , and another 120 years passed before stage coaches began to run ; they were not received with much favor. In 1G73 a treatise was published in London by "A. Lover of His Country , and Well Wisher to the Prosperity Both of the King and Kingdoms , " in which were used many elaborate arguments and violent ti rades against them. "These coaches and caravans , " said the writer , "are one of the greatest mis chiefs that hath happened of late years to the kingdom , mischievous to the pub lic , destructive to trade and prejudicial to lauds. " lie laments the decay of good horse manship , which would follow if every body rode to London in a coach. He calculates that a coach from York , Chester or Exeter would have forty horses on the journey to the capital and carry eighteen passengers a week. In the whole year it would carry about 1,872. Suppose there were returning passengers there Avould be 93G , and for these forty horses would be sufficient ; but if people traveled in the good , old- fashioned way , then at least 500 horses would be required for the work. The use of so many horses would give em ployment to many who were by the stage coach thrown out of work , such as cloth workers , drapers , tailors , sad dlers , tanners , curriers , shoemakers , spurriers , lorimers and fellmakers. The inns would also suffer , for the stage coach stops only at a few , but when gentlemen traveled on horseback , ac companied , as they usually were , by two or three servants , they stopped at any and a.s often as they liked , and thus encouraged trade. Farmers will be ruined , lie says , by the stage coach ; for how can they dis pose of their buy , straw and horse corn ? Moreover , the influence on health would be bad ; men called out of their beds before daylight , hurried from place to place until far on into the night , in the summer stilled with heat and choked with dust , in the win ter starving and freezing with cold or choked with liltliy fog , obliged to ride all day with strangurs and with sick , ancient and diseased persons and with children crying , poisoned with fetid breaths and crippled by the crowd of boxes and bundles. Besides all these troubles there were accidents arising from the rotten coaches and foul roads. In short , the writer is fully convinced that if stage-coach traveling becomes popular the country will go to ruin. Had he lived to see the railway he would have been bereft of his senses.

B. WILLIAMS. COLUJIHUS , OHIO. W. H. B. Williams , publisher of The Farmers' Industrial Union , in a recent letter to Dr. Ilartman says : "I have used Pe-ru-na as a family medicine for several years. I tind it of especial use for my- self. I have had several tedious spells with systemic catarrh and before using Pe-ru-na I had tried several other rem edies with little or no success. But in Pe-ru-na I found a prompt and sure cure , I always keep the remedy which promptly relieves any attack of the same malady. My wife also uses Fe-ru-na. She finds it of especial use for severe spells , to winch she is subject. We always keep it in the houve as a family medicine. We think it an excellent remedy for the vari ous ills to which children are subject , especially - pecially climatic diseases.

The corpse is tightly wrapped in matting a Ml placed in a coliiu hired for about a shilling. One or two natives , as the case may be , place the coffin on their heads and go at a trot to the grave , where the body is interred and the coffin is then returned. An Opinion from St. Lionis. The St. Louis Republic says that Alalo bastiue bids fair to give Grand Itapids , Mich. , even more fame than her huge furniture factories. This is a covering for walls and ceilings , and takes the place of kalsomines , which are very objectionable and even dangerous on account of the constantly decaying auiw mal and vegetable matter which they contain. Alabastiue makes a pure and permanent covering , that can be re- coated. It sets on the wall , growing hard with age. Now JBxperirncc.

" "Tommy Atkins" the slang name of the British private is not noted for his politeness , but for his obedience to orders. Years ago in a seaport town in En gland a general and an admiral were neighbors. The general's house was fronted by a grass-plot , on which he pastured ; a cow. One day his wife com plained to him that the supply of milk was falling short. The sentinel accounted for the defi ciency the public trod down the pas ture. , Thereupon the general gave or ders tba-t no human or other animal ex cept his cow should be allowed on the grass-plot. He added that if this rule was infringed the sentinel should be flogged. Soon after , the admiral's wife , in haste ; to keep an engagement , took a short cut over the piot , disregarding the sentinel's order to keep off the jrrass. "Common soldier , don't you know who I am ? " ejaculated the offended lady. "All I knovr is that you're not the general's cow. " How's This !

Remarkable Feat of Penmanship. To write a long chapter of Genesis on post card , in addition to selections ' from Shakspeare and Dickens , and the whole of "Home , Sweet Home , " is a feat of penmanship of which anyone might be proud. This was some time ago accomplished by a bank clerk , with a fine steel pen and with HO aid from magnifying glasses. In all , there were more than 10,000 words , while BO beautifully was the work done that many people have been able to read the writing with the naked eye.A i Traffic Over London Bridge. It is computed that about 200,000 pe destrians aud 20,000 vehicles cross Lon don bridge every day. Each leaves be hind a little shoe leather or a little iron just a tritle. But when litter and dust are added to these minute losses the whole tills between three and four carts. The most surprising fact of all , however , is that the incessant tratlic across the bridge reduces to powder about twenty-five .cubic yards of gran ite every year. Vacation Tours.
