Coni In China.
The greatest coal field of the old world is
that of northern China. Although not yet
known a* to its limits and quality, it is con
sidered better than all the others put to
gether. This same statement also can be
truthfully made in regard to the merits of
Hostetler’s Stomach Hitters, it being the
best medicine in the world for indigestion,
dyspepsia, nervousness, insomnia, and ma
laria, fever and ague. A trial will convince
you of its value.

“I don’t quite know what the lady
meant,” says an elderly physician, "but
whatever it was, she meant it hard. She
came to my office last Tuesday, and alter
considering her case I wrote a prescription,
which was to be put up in capsules of very
large size. 1 explained the why and where
fore of this to her, and asked her if she couid
swallow anything so big. She looked at ine
in an acidulous way.
" ‘Swallow it!’ she said. ‘Why, my hus
band belongs to two whist clubs and more
lodges than yon could count. Swallow it!
Humph! 1 reckon 1 haven’t been married
ten years without learning to swallow big
ger things than that.' ’’—Washington Post.

MISS VIRGINIA GRANES
Tells How Hospital Physicians
Use and Rely upon Lydia E.

pound. _
“ Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam : — Twelve
years continuous service at the sick
bed in some of our prominent hospi
tals, as well as at private homes, has
given me varied experiences with the
diseases of women. 1 have nui'sed some

most distressing cases of inflammation
and ulceration of the ovaries and womb.
I have known that doctors used Lytlia
E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com
pound when everything else failed
with their patients. I have advised my
patients and friends to use it and have
yet to hear of its first failure to cure.
“ Four years ago I had falling of the
womb from straining in lifting a heavy
patient, and knowing of the value of
your Compound I began to use it at
once, and in six weeks I was well once
more, and have had no trouble since.
I am most pleased to have had an oppor
tunity to say a few words in praise of
your Vegetable Compound, and shall
take every occasion to recommend it.”—
Miss Virginia Cranks.—$5000 forfeit if
above testimonial is not genuine.

Everything was in readiness. The groom,
best man and the minister were gathered
in the vestry. The organist began to play
and the minister started for the door.
“Wait one moment, doctor,” called the
nervous groom. “Is it the right or left hand
the ring goes on?”
"The left,” hurriedly replied the min
ister.
“And, doctor, is—is it kisstermary to cuss
the bride?”- Philadelphia Times.
Veracity Indorsed.
Deeder—Have you ever had any dealings
with Brooks?
Pleder—Yes, indeed.
"Well, what do you think of him? Is he
a man of Isis word?”
"Strictly so, according to my experience;
I won a case for him several years ago, and
in his enthusiasm he said he could never
pay me for what I had done for him; and he
never did.”- Richmond Dispatch.
Of Course;
“I note,” said the editor, “that you speak
of Nero as running his hand through his
long, (lowing locks."
“Yes,” answered the author. "There
is nothing remarkable in that.”
"How do you know that Nero had long
hair?”
“My dear sir! Aren't you aware that
X'ero was one of the most celebrated tid
dlers of his day?”—Washington Times.

"Do we bombard the city this after

board the Colombian warship.
"No,” responded the captain, wearily.

would annoy him. But he says we may do
so to-morrow if the day is sunny enough
for him to take pictures of the attack with

"So you resigned your situation again, I
hear," said the old gentleman to his son.
"Yes,” said the gay youth, "it was too

A Car liunil of Himes.
One would naturally think that the pack
age dye business was a small industry, but
there is more than one million dollars worth
of package dyes sold in the United States
every year.
One of the largest package dye factories
in the world is that of the Putnam Fadeless
Dyes Co., Unionville, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To
put up this amount of dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes, think
of it, seven millions of envelopes laid length
wise would reach a distance of seven hun
dred miles; if laid one upon the other they
would make a pile of Putnam Fadeless Dyes
miles high. As each envelope has to be
handled live times before a package is com
plete, the completion of three millions of
packages requires that they be' handled
thirty-five million times. This of course
gives employment to a number of people,
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Conqiany-alone
employ almost a hundred people, 90 per
cent, of whom are young Indies.
As each package retails for 10c the weight
of the retail price of the three millions pack
ages in dimes is 18,000 pounds, or almost
a car load.

W. Monroe street, Chicago, 111.:
“ Several of the officers of our sta

which it seemed impossible to throw
off until one of them tried Peruna,
and found the fin
