A MEDICINE : THAT CURES
Can we dispute
the well - knowi
fact that Americar
women are ner
vous ? >
How often do w <
hear the expres
sion , "I am so ner
vous , it seems as iJ
I should fly ; " or ,
Don't speak tc
make you irritable ; you can't sleep ,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
' The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tcoths of the
- nervous pros
tration , nervous debility , the blues ,
Sleeplessness and nervous irritability
ariso from some derangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected , so
that one minute she laughs , the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice ;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at theisast provocation. . All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shot well , of 103 Flatbush
Avenue , Brooklyn , N. Y. , writes :
"I cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration , back
ache , headache , loss of appetite. I could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
" I had three doctors and got no better , and
life was a burden. I was advised to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ,
mod it has worked wonders for me.
" I am a well Troman , my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say I look ten years
younger. "
Will not the volumes of letters from
Women made strong by Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues ? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged , exhausted each day ,
when yon can be as easily cured as
other women.

tricks.

"How much did you say there was in
this piece ? " she asked , pointing to one
she had selected.
"Fifteen yards , madam , " replied the
sx-boomer.
"Oh , but that is entirely too much , "
she protested. "I only need half that
liiantity. "
"Madam , " said the clerk , lapsing into
: he familiar vernacular of his former
calling. "I am offering you a bargain ,

HUGE MINE IN FLAMES.
Mountain of Coal in Colorado Burning
and Mania Helpless.
The town of Newcastle , Colo. , when
President Roosevelt left the raihraj
train to plunge into the wilderness , h
celebrated as the location of a subter
rancan fire which , is gradually consuming
a mountain of coal one of the most val
uable deposits 5u the Rot-ky Mountains ,
writes William E. Curtis in the Chicagc
Record-Herald.
There are many burning mines in the
United States coal banks that have
caught fire and cannot be extinguished.
There used to be one within the city lim
its of Fittsburjr. which had been burning
for a generation when I last heard about
it , and may be burning yet. The coal
originally caught fire from a gas explo
sion and the operators were not able to
put it out. There are several burning
mines in the anthracite region , also.
Some of them are situated so that they
cannot be Hooded and others are allowed
to burn because they are not worth
enough to justify the expense of putting
the fires out.
Noar" Marshall , BouUlcr county , Colo. ,
a 300-acre furnace has been burning since
the early 'GOs and millions of dollars'
worth of coal has been consumed. Many
thousands have been expended in trying
to extinguish the flames during the last
forty years that they have raged , with
out avail. All efforts have been unsuc
cessful and the owners have now aban
doned the property to burn itself out.
Up in the Bad Lands of North Dakota
in the Little Missouri valley several
seams of lignite coal have been burning
for years. They were on fire when the
first white man went into that country
and there is no way to quench the flames.
In the Bull Mountains , north of Billings ,
Mont. , is another big fire that has been
burning for thirty years or more. But
none of them is so important as the
burning mountain at Newcastle , Colo.
You can see the fire on the hillsido if
you pass that way on the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad. The porters of
the sleeper. ? usually notify passengers on
night trains when they approach the
place.
"The coal goes into the hill , dipping at
an angle of forty-five degrees , " said E.
H. Parker , the coal expert of the geo
logical survey , "and the mining was done
by a shaft which passed through several
seams. Five of them were of workable
thickness , respectively , five , eight , twelve ,
twenty-two to twenty-four , and from
forty to fifty feet in thickness , all clean ,
good coal ; but it was very gaseous and
when it slacked off and gathered in little
piles , the columns that were left to sup
port the roof , chemical decomposition oc
curred , which generated a high heat and
finally spontaneous combustion. This
was about five or six years ago aud final
ly the company , beins unable to control
the fires , was compelled to abandon the
property. "
DISMISSES BOWEN IN DISGRACE

levoted himself" to hunting up scandal
nd gossip until it became a monomania
nd caused him "to show complete dis-
ayalty" to the country he represented.
Ma Taft says there was nothing dis- '
onoaable in the transactions in which '
Ir. Loomis figured , but that he was not
iscreet , and that Mr. Loomis was not
ustified in becoming personally interest-
d in any of the schemes , either with a '

The Frugal Crow.
A correspondent sends to the Pioneer
( Allahabad ) the following notes on the
fact that a ca'se has been reported of a
crow's nest having been found which
was made out of telegraph wire : "Any
thing resembling a twig is pressed into
service. In the days of old , before
glass-stoppered bottles came into use
for soda water , many nests were made
of the wires used to keep in the corks
of such bottles. A nest constructed
out of brandy bottle wires was once
taken in a palm tree outside of Mad
ras. Another nest was found composed
of bits of tin stolen from the tin ba
zaar in Madras. One pair of crows
constructed a nest out of gold and sil
ver spectacle frames purloined from
the factory of Messrs. Lawrence &
Mayo , in Bombay. The materials for
this nest ( of which the value was
400 rupees ) were stolen by the wily
crows during the luncheon hour. It
was noticed that the spectacle frames
were disappearing from the factory in
a mysterious manner , but it was some
time . before the thief was discov
ered. "
