Her case is a typical one. She says : "For six months after the birth of my baby , I suffered from sick , dizzy head aches , which seemed like a rush of blood to my forehead , just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so I could hardly see and black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought on this sickness. My appetite was poor and I was often sick to my stomach. "If I tried to work my feet coon be came swollen , paining me terribly. I had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. I was so thin 'that I weighed only 95 pounds. "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills instead. I soon noticed that my headache was dis appearing and my nerves gradually grew stronger. The pills gave mo a hearty appetite and I now weigh over ,130 pounds. I believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder a woman can take , as they certainly helped mo when my condition was critical and I have never been seriously ill since.

Leslie's Weekly. * ! . A , t J * * Jennie always spoke so casually about the collection toward her house keeping outfit that every one accepted it as a matter of course. It was when she was only 16 that Jennie's mother , finishing hemming the last of a dozen new napkins , remarked : "There I Those are ready to go into the chest" Quastioning brought to light the further information that the chest was to be filled with things for Jennie. "Of course she'll get married some day , " said her'mother ' , "and it's lots handier to be making things along in stead of rushing at the last minute. I'm doing table linen now. " By the time Mrs. Markham had fin ished the set of kitchen towels and had begun on china every one took it with out comment When Jennie was 18 the chest was full and a big dry goods box was called into requisition to hold things. Not that Mrs. Markham was anxious for her daughter to marry and leave her. On the contrary , she often dropped a tear on a completed doily or bureau scarf as she laid it with the rest of the collection. Adding things to Jennie's store grew to be a habit Christmas gifts of an attractive nature were ruthlessly sacrificed to the box. "That'll be nice when you have a house of your own , " was the requiem Jennie heard sung over numberless things snatched from her before she had a chance to use them at the mo ment All her friends knew about her col lection and by the .time Jennie left school the older women had begun to say it was lucky that Mrs. Markham bad' been so far-sighted , for in case anything did come of Ross Whipple's devotion to Jennie all her trousseau ex cept mere clothes would be prepared. Ross Whipple certainly had a bad case of young love. He haunted Jen nie. All the other girls and boys of their age spoke of them as engaged. Their parents said they were too young , but Ross told his chums with glowering brow that he could wait years if he had to , while Jennie rehearsed to her en vious intimates the contents of the chest It was practically settled that Jennie's store of linen and china and knickknacks would come in very handy tolerably soon. Then Ross went away to college and In six months his ttffair with Jennie was broken off. He had fallen in love -witli a college-town girl. Jennie bore up well. Perhaps the fact that young Lauderback was calling frequently assisted her to a satisfac tory stite of mind. Young Lauderback had a high brow and Jennie began to read thick books. Also she took to signing her name "Jane. " She said it was more dignified. Young Lauderback certainly had se rious Intentions , for he brought his ventilating apparatus fitted above the ceiling was too heavy for the beams. Had the accident happened during a sitting only the ministers , a few Polish Deputies , some members of the1 extreme right and the journalists would have escaped. The acciSent created a great sensation in Russia. mother and sister to call on Jennie and her mother and Jennie frequently was asked to the Lauderback home for Sunday night ten. Again people re hearsed the contents of the chest and the dry goods box and decided on what extra things Jennie could buy with the money which otherwise she would have had to spend for a bride's usual linen and household outfit Nobody ever quite knew what caus ed the trouble between Jennie and young Lauderback. She carried her head high for a time , while he looked depressed and blue. Before he recov ered she was enjoying immensely the visit of a young doctor who had grad uated in the same medical class with her brother. He was good-looking and so was she. He had not been at the Markham home for a week before ev ery one was talking about how desper ately in love with each other they were. "It was at first" sight , " said Mrs. Markham to her best friends. "Of course Jennie has had fancies like all girls , but this is genuine. His father is rich. Not that that has anything to do with it , but Jie won't have to strug gle And I think that Jennie's outfit is good enough for any home that even ho can give her. " 'Jennie was invited to visit the young doctor's family later and she went She had a glorious time and came home to find her mother feverishly hemming a large tablecloth. "I thought you needed another three-yard one , " she ex plained. After Jennie had broken her engage ment to the young doctor because she was tired of writing letters to him she went in for social-settlement work for- a year or so. She came near marry- 'ing a professor of something or other HER HOUSEKEEPING OUTFIT. who had classes down there , but she changed her mind. When Henry Smith , a confirmed bachelor , took to calling on Jennie Mrs. Markham cheered up again and hem med a dozen more tea towels. But he drifted away without having commit ted himself. "Anyhow , " said Mrs. Markham , tak ing new comfort in the thought , ' 'here isn't another girl who has the oufit you have. " The years sped on. Admirers were not so plentiful , but Mrs. Markham occasionally added a doily to the store. The boxes were so full that there was no room for more linen. The friends of the family began to smile pityingly about Jennie's immense .stock of house hold goods. Jennie was nearing 30. Then of a sudden Jennie married a theatrical man. Now she travels with him everywhere , so she has not the re motest need of the contents of the chest and dry goods box in the attic , at home. She lives at hotels the year round. But Mrs. Markham hopefully tarns over the pieces of linen and rubs up the china from time to time. She gets a"grcat deal of comfort out of the fact that there's a fine household outfit all ready and waiting for Jennie if she ever should need it Chicago Daily News. GALUSHA A. GROW. Deaili Claims Father of the Home stead Imvr Idea. Former Congressman Galusha A. Grow , who was in his Sith year , died of the diseases incident to old age at his home in Glen- wood , Susquehanna County , Pa. , after an illness of three years. Mr. G ro w was the last sur viving member of a family .of six chil dren. He was never married , and his only survivors are four nieces , I' . a I livinnr in GALUSIIA A. GROW. tMlj ( x Y. , and MrSL W. T. Kellogg , of'Syracuse. A man of the highest honor , Mr. Grow , after long years of public''service , left an estate of only $50,000. Galusha Aaron Grow , who was speaker of the House of Representa tives in the first year of the Civil War and the youngest man ever elected to preside over that body , was a striking figure in the political history of the country during the last half century. He was born at Ash ford ( now East- ford ) , Windham County , Conn. , Aug. 31 , 1S2-1. His father died when he was still a child and when he was 10 years old he went with his mother and elder brothers to Susqticuamia County , Pennsylvania. As a boy he worked on a farm in summer and welit to the common schools in winter. He was graduated from Ainherst Coljege in 1S44 and ad mitted to the bar three years later. He entered Congress in 1851 and was the youngest member of that body for ten years.At the beginning of each Con gress he introduced in the House a free homestead 'bill. It became a law in 1802 and did much to develop the West , for it opened many million acres of farm lands to settlement by home steaders. Mri Grow was elected speaker of the Thirty-seventh Congress in 1SG1. In 18G4 he lacked one vote of being nomi nated for Vice President instead of Andrew Johnson. He retired from Congress in 1SG3 , and declined the mis sion to Russia which President Hayes offered him in 1S79. Mr. Grow was elected as Congressman-at-large in 1894 , and was re-elected in 1S9G by a plurality of 197,44(5. ( the largest ever given then in any State to any candi date for any oflice. Ho retired from . Congress voluntarily in 1903. Stn& limit in i Street. A terrified stag , with blood flowing from several cuts on its body , suddenly appeared in the main street of Win- dlesham , Surrey , yesterday , and , dash ing up a side lane , collapsed. A party of men went to its aid , and , tying a rope round its neck , were lead ing it to a neighboring stable , when the beast detected the sound of the approaching preaching hunt , and in its frantic strug gles to again get free strangled itself. The members of the Berks and Bucks Hunt when they appeared were treated to an uncomplimentary demonstration , which threatened to become absolutely hostile. London Mirror. ? Rapid "Fare , please.

Aside from the temporary effect of un seasonable weather the prevailing condi tions impart sustained' strength to busi ness. No interruption appears in pro duction of the leading industries , new demands come forward steadily and , "with the resumption of navigation to lower lake ports , transportation of freight is more extended. Commercial loans exhibit the greatest aggregate yet attained here , but , while the tone is easier , the discount rate may not decline appreciably until there is a further gain in deposits. Advices testify to spring merchandising equaling expectations at most interior "centers , farm work well forward and at tention turning to extensive improve ments. Distributive trade generally is upon an encouraging basis here and in the West and there is yet much activity in the jobbing branches upon demands for textiles , footwear , clothing , furniture * and hardware. Some delays occur in forward- vng general merchandise , due to scarcity in first hands , and road salesmen obtain. good orders for summer staples , indicat ing that buyers have no loss of confi dent in the future. Manufacturing progress is unabated. The capacity of most plants is exerted to the limit , and the machinery and labor employed exceeds all previous experience in iron and steel , power , car and forge work. Failures reported in the Chicago dis trict number 11 , against 13 last week and 2G a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade. NEW YORK. Trade and manufacturing 4onditions are in high degree favorable , despite the lull in demand usual at this stage of the Si/rlhg season. Some odd cross-currents are visible because of the scarcity of stocks in so many lines , necessitating buying in other markets to eke flut sup plies Sdcl ahead some time ago. In re tail trade cold weather and bad country roads are a bar to fullest activity , but the volume of business as a whole exceeds the corresponding period in other years. Business failures for the week ending April 11 number 194 , against 137 last week and 1G1 in the like week of 1900. Canadian failures for the week number 28 , against 29 last and 15 in this week a year ago. Wheat , including flour , exports from the United States and Canada for the Week ending April 11 aggregated 1,831- 105 bushels , against 3,400,872 last week and 2,302,347 this week last year ; for the last forty-one weeks of the fiscal year. 135,883,022 bushels , against 107- 500,919 in 1905-00. Corn exports for the week are 1,475,719 bushels , against 2- , 917,004 last week and 1,725,799 a year ago ; for the fiscal year to date , 50,059- 579 bushels , against 99,099,135 in 1905- OG.

The McDonald engineering building at McGill university at Montreal , was de stroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at between $500,000 and $750,000 , insurance 420,000. The negro longshoremen of the Mer chants and Miners' Transportation Com pany and the Old Dominion Steamship Company , who have been on a strike for an increase of 5 cents an hour in wages , have been notified by the companies that they need not return to work. All men have been withdrawn from the underground workings in the Homestake mine at Lead , S. D. , in consequence of the presence of carbon dioxide gas caus ed by the fire that has been burning in the mine. There has been no loss of ife , but many men have been overcome a by the gas. The Evolution of Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine tmsi-i ness is the natural outgrowth of thaf old-time household remedies. In the earlyhistoryof this country , EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas , bitters , laxative andtonicswere to be found in almost every house , com- poundedby the housewife , sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra , which was aloes # nd quassia , dissolved in apple bran < . Some times a hop tonic , made or whiskey , hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular , home-made remedies were thus compounded , the formulae for which were passed along fromi house to house , sometimes written , , sometimes verbally communicated- The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some , old-time custom. In the begin ning , some enterprising doctor , im pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies , would take it up , improve it in many ways , ; 'manufacture it on a. large scale , ad vertise it mainly through almanacs for the home , and thus it would be come used over a large area. LAT- TER-LYTHE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC ! FORM. Peruna was originally one of these1 old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites , of Pennsylvania , ' before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman , THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDED OF PERUNA , is Mennonite origin. First , he pre scribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased , and at last he established a manu factory and fuTSJfched it to the' general drug fraoe. " " . § s Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments , such as coughs , colds , sore throat , bronchitis and catarrhal diseases generally ? THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE ! LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNAl and its value in the treatment ofi these ailments. They have learnedl to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman7s ( judgment , and to rely on his remedy , Peruna. MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE CREAM. Cottonseed Oil Used Instead of the Ordinary Ingredients. "When Prof. Stillman of Stevens In stitute gave a dinner to two friends , at which most of the viands were made artificially by chemical means , " writes Lawrence Perry in the Technical World magazine , "he had small .Idea of the- furore his efforts would produce. But he has received hundreds of letters asking how different dishes were produced - * duced so many that he has not had time to answer many of 'them. "The chemical processes which ho- employed were some of them simple- and some quite complicated. To make vanilla ice cream by artificial means , for instance , the alchemist took some * triple refined cottonseed oil and placed , it In a centrifugal machine which re-n volved at a velocity of 3,000 revolutions } a minute. A beautiful emulsion wasp thereby produced , which was then iroz- en , chemically , of course. The flavor was obtained by the addition of vanlP Hn , glucin and nitrobenzol. They say that ice cream composed as above Is sold in inany Southern States wherai cottonseed , oil is more plentiful and ) consequently cheaper than milk or cream. It Is far from harmful , taste * good and does not melt as quickly a * the genuine ice. " "Worse than an Insult. "Did he offer you the : nsult of a bribe7 asked the new Alderman. "Catch him offering anybody a bribe I * exclaimed the Alderman from the 'Steenti ! ward. "The dirty tightwad wanted me to do it for nothing ! " APPENDICITIS. Not at All Necessary to Operate ia 3Iany Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch Is hard to digest and clogs up the digest ive machinery also tends to form cakes in the cecum. . ( That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix. ) A X.
