The Time of Births and Dcnthn.
According to the British Medical
Journal , Rascrl , vlio has analyzed 2. > , -
474 cases of death and 30,515 of birth ,
where the exact time of day was noted ,
finds that the maximum number of
deaths occur in the early afternoon (1 (
to 7 p. in. ) , and the -minimum in the
last hours before midnight , while the
maximum number of births occur in the
early hours of morning , and the mini
mum in the early hours of the after
noon. As regards the cause of this , he
points out that the hours of the maxi
mum number of deaths are precisely
those when the pulse rate and tempera
ture are at their highest in health , and
when there is a febrile ercerbatiou in
-illness.
Left No Stone Unturned.
A Welshman who was in London a
couple of weeks ago lost his watch , and
told the Scotland Yard people about it.
They said they would leave no stone
unturned to find the watch.
The other day the Welshman went
up again lo London ; he saw street after
street turned up , and was told that in
all thirty-six miles of roads were in the
same condition.
lie rushed down to Scotland Yard ,
and said , "I didn't think I was giving
you all that trouble. If 3011 don't find
the watch by Sunday I wouldn't break
up any more. " Scottish Leader.
Thej Knew Ma.
The train had stopped for a few min
utes at a station out on the plains , and
two or three barefooted little boys and
girls had their backs against the depot
and their fingers in their mouths , while
they stared at the passengers.
Suddenly a boj' of about JO years
dashed round a corner of the station
and called to his brother and sister :
"You . ! Ma ' if an'
, .loey saj's you Mag
gie don't come right straight home
she'll she'll well , I forgit what , but
she'll do it , sure , for you know what
ma is when she gits started ; so you'd
better git home straight off ! "
Joey and Maggie evidently knew
what ma was when she "got started , "
for they started homeward as fast as
their bare little feet would carry them.

Eiderdown from Norway.
The rearing of eider ducks for their
down is a novel industry on the Norwe
gian coast islands , which are owned
by private individuals. The birds are
naturally wild , but , being fed when
necessary by the keepers , who also pro
tect them from the ravens and eagles ,
lose much of their shyness and come at
feeding time in great numbers , attend
ed often by a train of gulls and wild
ducks of many varieties. The industry
is highly profitable.
f i AHERE are women everywhere who suffer almost constantly -
stantly because they cannot bring themselves to tell
all about their ills to a physician.
Such women can surely explain their symptoms and their
suffering by letter to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn , Mass. , for the con
fidence reposed in her has never been
violated. Over a million women have
been helped by her advice and medicine.
Mrs. Pinkham in attending to her vast
correspondence is assisted by women
only. If you are ill , don't delay. Her
reply v/ill cost you nothing and it will be &
practical help as it was to Miss ELLA E.
BRENNER , East Rochester , Ohio , who says : "I shrunk from
the ordeal of examination by our physician , yet I knew I must
have treatment. My troubles were backache , nervous tired
feeling , painful menstruation and
leucorrhoea. I am so grateful
to you now that I am willing to > ISf tagaitETiwaa.\'j& : \ ' uw { f foa- . ' . .
have iny name published to help
other girls to take their troubles
to you. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound used as you wrote
me has made me entirely well
and very happy. I shall bless
you as long as I live. "
Mrs. Pinkham receives thou
sands of such letters from grate
ful women.
Miss NELLIE RUSSELL , of
138 Grace St. . Pittsburg , Pa. ,
in a letter to Mrs. Pink-
ham says : ' ' From childhood - <
hood I suffered from kidney _ _ _ _
trouble and as I grew older
my troubles increased hav
ing intense pain running
from my waist to my womb and the
menses were very painful. One day ,
seeing your advertisement in one of
our 'papers , I wrote to you.
"When your reply came I began taking
your Compound and followed your advice
and am now in perfect health , and would ad
vise any lady rich or poor to take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , which I can praise above all
other remedies. It is a wonderful help to women. "

ASK YOURSELF
A FEW QUESTIONS
If Deering Ideal Harvesting Machines are not
the best in the world , why is it that the Deering
works are the largest in the world ?
If there is not a greater demand for Deering machines than
for any other make why is it that the Deering works employ over
six thousand five hundred skilled mechanics more than twice as
many as any other reaper plant in the world ?
If Deering machines have not earned the right to universal
approval why is it that the Deering works are increasing the output
for 1899 by 50,000 machines as against the product of 1898 ?
IV Deering ball and roller bearings are not applied to binders
and mowers in the only correct way why is it that competitors are
at their wits' ends to make their machines as light draft as the
Deering Ideals ?

RECENT INVENTIONS.
One of the neatest-looking gear cases
on the market is formed of an endless
flexible tube slitted along its inner face
and stretched over the chain , complete
ly inclosing it between the sprocket
wheels and opening par Kally for pass
age around them as it revolves with the
chain.
To cleanse the dust from railway
seats and other uphblstered cushions a
new device is formed of a suction pipe
entering a casing having an open bottom
tom , the latter being drawn over the
cushions or used to beat them to dis
lodge the dust , which passes off
through the pipe.
In an improved letter box for the de
livery of mail matter the entire face of
the box is opened by the carrier , dis

scribers can open their private boxes
with a key.
An improved car brake is formed of
two semi-circular bands surrounding
friction plates attached to the wheels ,
one end of each baud being attached
to the car frame , while the other is con
nected to a beam operated by the brake
lever to tighten the bands around the
disks.
For use in excavating for the founda
tions of bridge piers and other work
under water a wooden caisson is fitted
with an air chamber and weighted to
sink it to the bed of the stream , jets of
water being used to dislodge the dirt
and cause it to flow toward a suction
pipe to be pumped out.
Bohemia's Stranjje Minerals.
Not far from Trebisch , in Bohemia ,

which the name raoladivites has been
given. Professor Suess , of Vienna ,
from a recent study of these curious
minerals , concludes that they are real

the list of foreign bodies that have
found their way to the earth's surface
by falling from space.

Wealthy-Monomaniacs.
It is well known that many rich men
are haunted by the fear that they will
become poor , the dread being so strong
'n some cases that it amounts to a
mania. An Englishman whose income
's twenty thousand pounds a year Is
aow impressed with the belief that he
lias not enough to live upon , but is
comforted by finding on Lis plate at
the breakfast table each week-day
morning a sovereign , of which , most
likely , he is careful not to spend more
than a half , or perhaps one-fourth.
Some few years ago a rich man. who
had devoted all his life to making a
fortune which he fancied that he had
lost was employed in his own garden
at one pound a week , and attained a
great age , with perhaps as much hap
piness as he had ever enjoyed. After
all there is not much need to pity such
men. and no especial reason to blame
them. They had no opportunity in
their young days of learning how to
enjoy recreation , and they never knew
the duty of having a hobby.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application1 : , as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness , and that is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result ; and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition , hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
he mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness ( caused by catarrh ) that can
not be cured by Jlall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

until it reached my body. I grew thin , appetite poor and did not relish
my food. 1 became unable to move about. Consulted several dis
tinguished physicians , one telling me I had locomotor atazia , another ,
creeping paralysis. I took their medicines but continued to grow
worse. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. Before I had finished my first box I found that they were
benefiting me. I used twelve boxes and was perfectly cured. Although
over six months since I used my last pill there has been no return of
the disease , lly appetite is good and general health better than for
many years. "
