women to rely, as she old, up
on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound.
" Deak .Miis. Pinkhav : Your med
icine i- indeed an ideal vroman's medi
cine, and by far the best I know to
restore lost health and .strength. I
fcuffered misery for several years, beinff
troubled v.ith Menorrhagia. My back
ached. I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I would oftra
wake from restful slet'p. and in such
pain that I suffered for hours efore I
could go to slerp again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians.
Loping to get relief but finding that
their medicine did not eem to cure me.
I tried your V-rt:ilil Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the East who lias visiting me.
" I am glad that I followed her ad
vice, for e'.-ery a he and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a
fine appetite and have gained in flei.li.

Present Day Amber It Resin.
According to the best modern au
thorities the so-called amber found in
Syria. India aad Madagascar is not
amber at all, bnt a resin, nearly al
lied to copal, which is the product ot
leaf-bearing trees growing at the pres

acicular trees long since extinct, and
there is a good deal of conflict among
scientists as to which geological per
iod it belongs to.
Flight Through Frozen North.
The 1-apland limited is perhaps the
most curious of through express trains
in that it carries fewer passengers
and runs over a longer distance than
any other train. This flyer leaves

straight through to Narvik, a Norwe

The distance is 1,0G miles.
Pension Consumptives' Families.
In Germany, when a person breaks
down with consumption, he is sent
to a government sanatorium, where
he is kept until he recoyers or dies.
In the meantime his family receives
a weekly pension from a fund to
which the patient himself contributed
when he was in good health. By this
means the risk of spreading the dis
ease is avoided.

ingredients. Put together, grind into
a )ovder and put in little bags among
your clothes.
Time of Lighting Flash.
F. II. Glew of London has calculated
the time of a lightning flash to be one

Stamps Not Historically Correct.
On some of the postage stamps ol
St. Kitts-Nevis. England, the authori

a matter of fact, telescopes were not
invented till over luJ years after
Columbus was born.
Peat Supply of-Sweden.
Sweden's supply of peat seems In
exhaustible. In the province of Norr
botteu alone there are S .04 8.000 acres
of moss land, and the total quantity
of peat is estimated to equal a supply
fur two centuries of the present coal
import to Sweden.

Down-Trodden Man Eager for Satis

Aboard the great ship the silence of
despair reigned. She had struck on an
uncharted reef, and owing to the heavy
sea the boats had either been stove in
against the ship's side or swamped in
the attempt to lower. A stalwart pass
enger stole up to the captain's side.
"Do you think, captain." he asked,
"that there is the slightest chance of
our being saved?"
"Look here," said the skipper, in
tones of disgust, "that's the fourth
time you've asked me that question.
Why. you great lubberly brute. I be
lieve you're the greatest coward
aboard ! "
"S-sh: Xo. I'm not." said the burly
passenger. "But look here. You see
that old buffer standing by the rail?
Well, he's my rich uncle, and all my
life I've done nothing but put up with
his cantankerousness and humor him
every way I could. But if the ship's
going down, and there's no hope. I'd
like time to give him just one gid
sound kick for all the trouble he has
put me to!"
Just then the ship of rescue hove in
sight, and above the shout of joy the
raucous voice of the old man by ae
rail was heard, commanding his duti
ful nephew to fetch his bed-socks and
hot-water bottle from his water-logged
stateroom.

to a London firm that he would call
upon them on the next Wednesday at
10:30 a. m. Almost on the minute hi
arrived and talked to the senior part
ner for twenty minutes at a rate that
almost gave the Londoner heart fail
ure. Next day he came again, and in
thirty minutes had closed a deal that
meant a good many thousand pounds
a year to the I-ondon firm, and on Sat
urday was on the ocean again, bound
for New York, leaving the partners in
a daze, which was dispelled only by
contemplating the signature on the

story at the expense of the modern
craze for specialization in the medical
profession: A poor woman from the
East Side of New York went to a
near-by dispensary to ask aid for het
little son. who had one of his fingers
smashed with a baseball bat. At the
first room where she applied she was
told by a curt attendant that the boy
could not be treated there.
"Wrong place." he explained, "this
is the eye and ear department."

"There isn't a house within a milt
of the lot I bought."
"Well, who said there was?"
"You. sir; you did."
"Why. my dear sir. you must be

"Didn't I ask you if there were any

Arriving at a Verdict.
Kushequa. Pa.. Aug. 1. (Special)
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as " Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows 'from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
"I have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine I have ever taken.
1 was also bothered with Lame Back
and I can only say 'that my back
hasn't bothered me since I took
Dodd's Kidney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Davison only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered won
derful if it were not that others are
reporting similar results daily. Kushe
iua is fast arriving at a verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism."
Anomalous as it may seem, it is
sweet to suffer when the suffering is
for those we love.

JAPt FOND OF SWORD PLAY.
Ancient Pastime la Again ecoming
a Popular Diversion.
In tbe old days, when Japan was
still under the feudal system, -every
castle bad its shobuwan or fencing
school. 'With 'the disarming of the
nobility this institution died out. but
ic is now reviving again everywhere,
even in the small villages of the
mountainous districts. The defensive
armor consists of three portions
the omen (mask), the okote (padded
gauntlets) and the odo (cuirass or
body piece). The sword is put to
gether of four pieces of flat bamboo.
The handle is covered with leather
and the guard is a very thick and
stout piece of the same material. At
the other end a small leather button
connected with the handle by a string
distinguishes the back of the weapon
from the edge.
This bamboo sword is two-handed
and the fencing is of a spirited char
acter, each combatant, as a rule, do
ing his best to come to close quar
ters. Beginners are not allowed to
try to defend themselves until they
have thoroughly learned how to at
tack. Whenever a hit is made the
successful fencer shouts "Omen!" or
"Okote!" according to the part on
which he has planted his blow, while
his antagonist makes acknowledg
ment with a low bow.
It is customary to place a number
of large flat china vases beneath the
floor in order to intensify the noise
ot the fencers trampling. The din
thus created, together with the com
batants' loud cries, has the effect of
redoubling their excitement.
CORN A VERSATILE PRODUCT.
Innumerable Uses to Which It Can Be
Put.
Probably few things that grow are
capable of so many uses or are as
completely used as corn. Tbe grain
is used for food both for human beings
and cattle, while the stalks are used
as cattle feed. The pith of the corn
stalk is used in the manufacture of
smokeless powder, in the manufacture
of high-grade varnish, and in the man
ufacture of paper. The woody por
tions are used in the manufacture of
a cheap quality of paper.
As a food corn is supplied in many
forms. The most familiar are as meal,
hominy and grits. Practically all the
starch tbat is used in the United

.piautities are also used in the manu
facture of glucose, which, among other
things, enters largely into the manu
facture of beer, as a substitute for
malt.
A large quantity of corn is used an
nually in the manufacture of whisky,
and nearly 15,0OO,0uu bushels are used
every year in the manufacture of co

manufacture of these products nothing
is lost. The glutinous and other resi

First Briton in India.
The fiist Englishman who is known
for certain to have gone out to India
was. according to a recent correspon
dent in an Indian paper, a certain
Thomas Stephens, a member of a well-to-do
Wiltshire family and an Oxonian,
who landed somewhere near Goa about
the year 1579, and spent forty years in
Jesuit missionary work in Goa and the
neighborhood. Stephens not only suc
ceeded in mastering Marathi and Kon
kani. which were the languages spoken
by the majority of the people on the
west coast, but left behind him among
other works in Marathi of literary
merit the "Purana," an epic; and it is
in his capacity as the author of this
that Stephens' name is bet known
among the West Coast inhabitants.
The poem contains over ll.t(0
strophes of four lines each. It nar
rates in a lofty style the events that
led up to the establishment of the
Christian religion, and from the crea
tion to tbe ascension of our Lord, who
figures as the hero of tbe epic. A
new edition of the "Purana" is to be
published in Mangalore, no printed
copy of the work being now available.
The Athenaeum.
Consider Himself Dead.
Mr. L.. a good-natured German, was
the proprietor of a clothing business in
l country town. He had in his em
ploy one John S.. whom he had ad
vanced from cash boy to head clerk.
Since his promotion John Had several
times asked for an increase of salary,
and each time his request bad been
granted. One morning he again ap
peared at the old merchant's desk
with another request for an increase
of $10 a month.
"Vy. Shon." said Mr. L., "I dink I
nays you pooty .veil alretty; vat for I
oays you any more?"
"Well." replied Joha, confidently. "I
am your principal help here. I know
every detail of the business, and, in
deed, I think that you could not get
along without me."
"Is dot so? Vy. Shon, vot would I
io suppose you vas to die?"
"Well, suppose that you would have
to get along without me then."
The old Teuton took several whiffs
from his big pipe and finally said:
"Veil, Shon. I guess you petter gon
iider yourself dead." Youth's Com
panion. What She Would Have Lost
A class of Normal School girls were
isked to pretend for one day that
they did not know how to read, in or
der to bring home to them the import
ance of reading in education. They
were asked to make a list of the things
that they would have been prevented
from doing, during that day, if they
had not the ability to read. The lists
were read in class the next afternoon.
Some very properly said that they
could net have learned their lessons
for the next day, could not have read
the papers to find out the hour for the
musicale the night before, could not
have read the catalogue to find out
what the pictures were at the art ex
hibition, etc. But the eternal reml
nine finally cropped out in one list
which concluded with. "I could not
have read the sign in M. 9c G.'s store
saying that they were holding a bar
?ain sale in shirtwaists and would
lave missed buying a dandy at a very
.ow price."
The Land of Long Ago.
The Land ot Long Ago.
Where happy hours sleep.
Where languid rivers slide.
With stately flow and deep;
Where fadeless roses blow.
And Love sits azure-eyed.
There come no frost, nor snow.
But balmy breexes sweep
O'er gardens fair and wide.
And slow tbe waters creep
Through blossom bending low
Above the charmed tide.
How sweet to rise and go
From ways where mortals weep.
From love so Ions denied.
To dreams that roses heap.
Where crystal waters flow.
And golden day abide.

CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED.
Newberry, S. C W. H. Harris,
Chief of Police, of Newberry, says:
"I suffered for a number of years with
kidney complaint. There was a dull
aching across the small of my back
that was worse at night and
made me feel miserable all tbe time.
The kidney secretions were dark and
full of sediment, and lack of control
compelled me to rise a number of
times during the night. Between this
annoyance and the backache it was
impossible for me to get much sleep
and my health was being undermined.
I tried a number of remedies, but
nothiug helped me until I got Doan's
Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy
according to directions promptly
brought about a change for tbe better.
After using two boxes the backache
all ieft me. the kidney secretions
cleared up and the action of tbe kid
neys became normal."

ris will be mailed to any part of the

BUNCH TOGETHER
Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.
Ails that come from coffee are
cumulative, tbat is, unless the coffee
is taken away new troubles are con
tinually appearing and the old ones
get worse.
"To begin with." says a Kansan, "I
was a slave to coffee just as thou
sands of others to-day; thought I
could not live without drinking strong
coffee every morning for breakfast
and I had sick headaches tbat kept
me in bed several days every month.
Could hardly keep my food on my
stomach but would vomit as long as
I could throw anything up and when
I could get hot coffee to stay on my
stomach I thought I was better.
"Well, two years ago this spring I
was that sick with rheumatism I J
could not use my right arm to do any
thing, had heart trouble, was nerv- t
ous. My nerves were all unstrung
and my finger sails and tips were
blue as if I had a chill all the time
and my face and hands yellow as a
pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart
disease and rheumatism and my
neighbors said I had Bright's disease
and was going to die.
"Well, I did not know what on
earth was the matter and every morn
ing would drag myself out of bed and
go to breakfast, not to eat anything,
but to force down some more coffee.
Then in a little while I would be so
nervous, my heart would beat like
everything.
"Finally one morning I told my bus
band I believed coffee was the cause
of this trouble and that I thought I
would try Postum which I had seen
advertised. He said 'All right so we
got Postum and although I did not
like it at first I got right down to
business and made it according to
directions, then it was fine and the
whole family got to using it and I
tell you it has worked wonders for
me. Thanks to Postum in place of the
poison, coffee, I now enjoy good
health, have not been in bed with sick
headache for two years although I had
it for 30 years before I began Postum
and say nerves are now strong and I
have no trouble from my heart or
from tbe rheumatism.
"I consider Fostum a necessary ar
ticle of food oa sty table. My friends
who come here aad taste my Postum i
say It Is delicious." Name given by
