Do Ye Want tO'Kmw
What You Swallow?
There is a growing sentiment in this
country ia favor of medicines of knows
composition. It is but natural that one
should hare some uterest in the compo
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
' medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the psblic, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation of his med
cines. Dr. It. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it
were, and is publishing broadcast a list
of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" the iopular liver invigorator.
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip
tion" for weak, over-worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free to any one de
siring to learn more concerning the valu
able, native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition of Dr. Pierce's med
icines. Address Dr. Pierce as above.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny, sugar
coated anti-bilious frranulev. They retaliate

Black Snake a Fighter.
A writer has described the common
black snake as the most pugnacious
of all the reptile family. "He is al
ways ready for a fight," he said, "and
the man who doesn't understand his

gize before the first blow is struck."

Ducks Like Men.
"Bucks, their characters, virtues
and history," are the subject of an

to point the remark. "A drake was
suspected of murdering a meritorious
hen. solely because he objected to hei
rolor. It was unlike his family's, ,sc
he slew her."
Table Manners.

they are declared to be obsolete, and

SIGNIFICANCE OF MONEY SIGNS.
English Terms Derived from Latin
Words Dollar Marie
They were discussing the other af
ternoon the question of currency sym
bols. The discussion had started by
some one making a casual remark
about "L. S. D.," referring, of course
to "pounds, shillings and pence," says
the Washington Star. The question
arose why some of the coins-were de
noted by letters that had nothing at
all to do with their selling, and there
was not one in the crowd, though
there were some nominally well-informed
people present, who could tell
the significance of the letters till the
question was looked up. It appeared
that the pound sterling mark was
simply a capital L. with a. line drawn
across the stem. It came from the
Latin word "librae," meaning a pound.
The "d" used for the penny came also
from the Latin, meaning "denarius,'
originally a small Roman silver coin,
but later having developed into a
generic term for money and specifi
cally for a small copper coin of in
significant value.
The "lb" mark, also used for the
avoirdupois pound, came from the
same word "librae" as in Saxon
times the pound avoirdupois was the
same weight as a pound sterling of
silver and the shilling was one-twentieth
of this, making the old shilling
about three times the size of the
present one.
When it came to the dollar mark,
"$," there was more discussion, there
being half a dozen explanations for
this sign. But the most likely seemed
to be that it was simply a modified
figure "8," there having been eight
silver reals in the old Spanish dollar,
or "piece of eight," in use in this
country long before the introduction
of American currency.
HIS COMPARISON OF FATHERS

Old Ben Baker was a lifelong resi

Angora cats, collie dogs, canaries and
rabbits, all of which had the indiscrim

shack he and his son Ben lived in.
He had a peculiar habit of using big
words, and invariably got them twist

Ben as other than a child, and would
take him to account whenever he was

23 years old. and came home about 11
o'clock one night, the old man com

Made a Speedy Recovery.
On one of the visits of the Amer
ican fleet to English waters. Admiral
Erben, now retired, was in command,
with Capt Alfred T. Mahan, the
writer on naval affairs, as his flag
captain.
One morning Capt. Mahan came to
his admiral with an invitation to dine
with a duke.
"I can't accept this," said Capt.
Mahan, "as they forgot to invite you."
"I should say you couldn't," growled
the admiral. "I'll answer for. you."
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
"Admiral Erben, U. S. navy, regrets
that Capt. Mahan, his flag captain,
cannot accept the invitation of the
Duke of Blank. Capt. Mahan is on
the sick list."
An hour or so later a messenger
from the duke returned with invita
tions for the admiral and the captain.
Whereupon the admiral wrote again:
"Admiral Erben accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Capt. Mahan and
himself. He wishes also to advise
the Duke of Blank that he has taken
Capt Mahan off the sick list." New
York Tribune.
Educating Children.
Forcing the youthful mind Is n.
practice no longer obtaining in schools
of the best standing but not yet ob
solete in many of the common
schools. In schools which represent
the dominant ideas of education to-day,
stimulation, interest, suggestion
prevail, and driving is avoided. If
there has been some leaning toward
the prosaic, there is now a fresh in
terest in stimulating the emotions,
and a full realization of the need of
many things conventionally not class
ed among the useful, says Collier's
Weekly. The greatest problem of ed
ucation unsolved to-day relates to
girls. Heretofore their education has
been a mere copy of that long ago
established for boys. Some day a
genius will come along and conceive
thoughts that shall form the basis of
an education which shall help girls to
all their best possibilities, without
dissipating their strength on lines of
effort established for natures in some
respects entirely different.
The Maiden Love.
The meadows hide their summer greea
Under a ell of gray;
A mist rolls o'er the sunny sheen:
It Is a drear, dull day!
The dewdrops tip the blades with beads.
That shine like costly gems;
The roses hang their blushing beads
'Neath glittering diadems.
But. hark! a sound of silver bells.
Echoing o'er the woody dells.
A little laugh, a sweet clear voice
Which makes my beating heart rejoice!
She comes, a iairy irom aDove.
'A little maid, whose name Is Love!
Th morning m!t now rolls away.
The sky is bathed in light,
A golden sunshine crowns the day,
ilv loved one Is in sight!
The" birds sing out their songs again.
The flowers- all tloom anew.
And music swells in joyous strain
From out the heavenly blue.
She comes, and everything is bright.
She comes amid the golden light.
All nature once again is gay.
It is the brightest summer day!
She comes a fairy from above,
A little maiden whoseTiame Is Love!

HAD HEART PAINS
f
A Critical-Case of Rheumatism Cured
By Dr. Williams' PJk Pills.
. While Mr. TV. S. Geisel, of No. 125
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo., was
steadily working at his trade iu a foun
dry at that place, he became the victim
of au attack of rheumatism, aud his ex
perience is that of thousands who are
compelled to work iu similar snrrouu1
iugs. He describes bis bituatiou as fol
lows: "I had been at work for a long time
in a fonudry where' I was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
laid to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally I could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble aud I grew very pale
and weak. I began to have pains about
my heart and it flattered a great deal.
I became greatly alarmed about my con
dition. My mother knew alxmt the vir
tues of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as they
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu
matism too, she began to give them to
me about a month after I was attacked.
That was iu the early part of March,
1903, and by Juue they had driven away
the pains and swelling aud bad restored
my appetite and color. Then I felt
strong enough to take np a line 01 out
door work and now, iu Oetolter, I re
gard myself as entirely well aud I am
about to go into a fonudry again at St.
Louis."

Thank Cod for Gifts.
The Mohammedans have the cus
tom, when they receive a present, of
thanking God first, then the giver. If
you do them a favor, they will say:
"I thank God for your kindness to
me." Some may comply rather
thoughtlessly-with this custom, which
they have inherited from their fathers.
But many certainly say it with their
whole heart.

CALLED CONDUCTOR A TYRANT.
Son of Italy Saw Freedom Rapidly
Disappearing.
There is a little horse car that runs
through a lower East Side street. Up
to a few days ago it carried, besides
passengers, baskets, boxes and nu
merous, other things that took up so
much room as to be in the way of
people getting on and off the car. An
inspector noticed this and reported it
to the office of the car company. The
following day the conductors were
notified that no person was to -be per
mitted to ride upon the car with a
package too large to be held upon the
lap. As a result a great deal' of
trouble to the conductors ensued.
The climax was reached when two
Italians attempted to board a car with
a huge oblong box about six feet high.
They had almost succeeded in getting
it on the back platform when the con
ductor, who, at the time was collecting
a fare in the front of the car, noticed
them. Running back, he ordered the
Italians to remove the box that it
was against the rales of the company
and they could not ride on the car
with It
The Italians remonstrated and said
they would pay an extra fare for the
box. The conductor refused. The Ital
ians insisted and quite an argument
started. -Finally, amid the loud curses'
of the Italians and the cheers of a
crowd that had gathered, the conduc
tor succeeded in getting the dark
skinned fellows and the box off the
platform and rang his bell twice.
As the car drew rapidly away one
of the Italians exclaimed in disgust:
"You calla dis a free country a free
country and dey won't even let a dead
man ride on da car." New York

ORIGIN OF SOME SALUTATIONS.
Are Not by Any Means Result of
Mere Formality.
"The bow," said an antiquary, "or
riginated in a cower. The weak sav
age, to save himself from being
knocked down by the stronger one
when they met, groveled upon the
earth, and thus the bow arose.
"The lifting' of the hat Is of much
later date than the bow. It is derived
from the time when men wore armor.
When two armor-clad knights met in
those days and fell into talk they took
off their helmets as a sign of mutual
confidence. They exposed their heads
to show that they respected and trust
ed each other, to show that neither
were afraid of being brained. Hence
the modern lifting of the hat, a saluta
tion whose meaning is:
"I hold you in such reverence that
without fear I place my life in your
hands."
"On the same principle is the fash
ion of wishing health when drinking.
In the olden days it was a favorite
trick to hand a man a drink and
plunge a knife into him wlfen his fea
tures were hidden by the uplifted cup.
So our ancestors hit upon the scheme
of pledging each other that there
would be 'nothing doing' while enjoy
ing a mutual drink. From that comes
our familiar 'Here's to you,' 'Happy
days,' etc."
Polite, But Busy.
Not long ago a delegation of women
appeared at the Capitol to solicit the
support of a certain member of Con
gress for a bill in which they were
interested. This member is notorious
ly energetic, and, appreciating the fact
that his time was pretty well occu
pied, the spokeswoman said:
"Now. sir, if you would prefer, we
will call at your hotel in the evening
and see yon about this matter."
"Oh, no; I will be glad to hear you
now," he said courteously.
"But we have a great deal to say
on the subject.
He bowed politely.
"Ladies," he said, "I shall be de
lighted to hear you, no matter how
much you have to say, if you will only
put it in a few words."

upon women ia'

More than three
fourths of the
patients lying
on those snow

are awaiting or recovering from operas

Every one of these patients had
plenty of warningin that bearingdown

dizziness, flatulency, displacements or
Irregularities. AU of these symptoms

MissLnella Adams, of Seattle, Was
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham J
"About two years ago I was a great ssfr
f erer from a severe female trouble, pains and
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and
finally told me that I had a tumor and rauat
undergo an operation if I wanted to get welL
I felt that this was mv death warrant, but I
spent hundreds of dollars for medical help,
but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately X
corresponded with an aunt intheKewFnglandU
States, and she advised metotakeLyuiaK.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was
said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately
began to improve in healthyand I was entirely
cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, with
out an operation. I wish every suffering
woman would try this great preparation.''
Just as surely as Miss Adams was
cured of the troubles enumerated ia
her letter, just so surely will Lydia E.

male troubles, inflammation, kidney
troubles, nervous excitability or ner

Mrs. Pinkham invites all younjj
