PAINS
AMERICAN WOMEN FIND RELIEF
The Case of Miss Irene Crosby Is One
of Thousands of Cures made by Lydia
K. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
How many women realize that
St is not the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely.
Thousands of American women, how*
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering'by taking1 Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. It cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes:
“ Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetnLle Compound
is a true friend to woman. It has been of
great benefit to me, curing me of irregular
and painful periods when everything else bad
failed, and I gladly recommend it to other
suffering women.”
Women who are troubled with pain
ful or irregular periods, backache,
bloating (or flatulence), displacement
of organs, inflammation or ulceration,
that “bearing-down” feeling, dizzi
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri
ous consequences, and he restored to
perfect health and strength by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, aud then write to Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn, Mass., for further free ad
vice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia
E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years
has been advising women free of
charge. Thousands have been cured
by so doing.
FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.
The sum of 720,000 marks has been
raised by the German army for the
Moltke monument in Berlin.
There were 11,SS5 fewer deaths in
London in 1905. emling with the Sat
urday before Christmas, than for the
average of the last ten years.
An amateur society has been formed
for the “diffusion of the cult of the
bagpipe.” not only in Scotland, but in
England. A set of pipes costs from
$25 to $250. according to finjsb and
embellishments.
The Only Way.
“The world owes me a living.”
“That’s so.”
“You agree with me, do you?”
“Sure; and I'll bet that if you sail in
and work hard you can cullect the debt.”

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Actually
Make New Blood and Good
Health Follows.
The evil effects that follow many dis
eases — particularly the grip and the
wasting fevers, such as typhoid aud
malaria, are caused by the bad condition
in which these diseases leave the blood.
As a result, the flesh continues to fall
away, the sufferer grows nervous and
irritable, and even slight exertion causes
shortness of breath. These are danger
ous symptoms and indicate that the
system is in a state that invites pneu
monia, bronchitis or even consumption.
What is needed is a new supply of rich,
red blood to carry health aud strength
to every part of the body.
“ I was all run down from the effects
of the grip,” says Mrs. Amelia Hall, of
No. 5 High street, Norwich Conn., “and
could not seem to get strength to walk ;
could not eat a full meal, my stomach
was so weak, and I was so nervous t hat
I could not sleep. I could only stay in
bed a few minutes at a time, either night
or day. The least little thing would
startle me. I had difficulty in breath
ing and had frequent fainting spells.
“ My g mend health was completely
wrecked and I had ueuralgio and rheu
matic pains, dyspepsia, constipation,
and female weakness. My physician at
tended me for [ho grip and again for
the condition that it left me in, hut I
got no strength from the tonics ho pre
scribed. In fact, nothing helped me
until I tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
and they cured me.
“ I grew stronger and gained flerh
from the time I began taking them. I
am satisfied that the pills are all that is
claimed for them and I shall do all I can
to make their good qualities known.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure ner
vous disorders of every kind, check
wasting diseases and bnild up strength.

HIS LETTER TO HER.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 15.
My Dear Madge: Here are the
snap-shots I promised you. I devel
oped them the day I got back. I hope
you are all right. I enjoyed my holi
day at Christmas very much, thanks
to your keeping things lively all the
time. The only part I didn’t like was
being chaffed about Mollie’s engage
ment. Of course I laughed and tried
to take no notice, but I did mind.
Especially mother's saying that she
thought I was so devoted to Mollie,
and wondered I took it so calmly.
So I was. and so I am now, and I’d
give anything to see that fellow out
of the way.
The other day I was reading one of
her letters through, and I must say
I blame her a little. Anyone would
say if they read them that she not
only encouraged me, but led me dis
tinctly to understand that she cared
about me. I am sure all her people
thought so too, for I was the first to
be told of her engagement.
Although I care so awfully for that
girl. I think she has treated me rather
Ko Jbr oltrova ooi.l olio u’Qc Q flirt
but I didn’t think so. However, it’s
all over now. “Once hit, twice shy”
is my motto, and I shall never give
myself the chance of loving another
girl. I don’t know why I am telling
all this, but I know you were an ad
mirer of Mollie’s too, and then you’re
so jolly sympathetic, and always seem
to understand a fellow.
Sid told me that last year, before
I went to Bar Harbor, he and Mollie
used to have long talks on the beach,
but she always led the conversation
round to me, and seemed very keen
on my going down there.
I shall almost hate to meet her if
we go down there this summer.
You’re coming though, aren't you?
Uncle Fred said something about tak
ing the cottage next ours.
I’d better shut up now. The one
thing I ask you, Madgie, is please,
please don’t say anything about this
to anybody. ’ Sid is the only one wrlio
knows. Believe me, your affectionate
cousin,
BILL TREVOR.
HER LETTER TO HIM.
New York City, Jan. 20.
My Dear Billy: Thank you ever so
much for the photos, which look so
nice in my book. The one of you with
the puppies isn't half good enough,
though.
Of course I’ll never say a word
about what' you told me regarding
Mollie. I am so sorry about it, and
I was awfully surprised, too, at her
engagement. I never met her fiance
but Maude told me he was exactly like
a “pink soap baby.”
Well, there’s no accounting for
tastes, but personally I can’t under
stand anyone preferring a creature
like that to a manly man.
Oh, by the way, what do you think,
the other day at the Fitzhugh’s par
ty, I met a Mr. Harry Grantham,
who was at the academy with you and
Sid. He was so interesting, and ha3
asked Maude and mo to tea at his
rooms next Saturday. I remain, your
affectionate and sympathetic cousin,
MADGE.
P. S.—I am glad you think so. I
rwillv mprin svmnathetif*!
HIS LETTER TO HER.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 27.
My Dear Madge: Thanks ever eo
much for your letter. You are about
as nice a little cousin as any fellow
could have, and better than a sister.
They are beyond my ken personally,
but men I know, who have them,
say they’re always giving a fellow
away before other girl?, but I could
trust you with anything.
But, I say Madgie, there’s some
thing else I want to speak to you
about—and that’s Harry Grantham.
He was at school with us, but neither
of us was at all chummy with him.
and nobody thought he was very great
shakes. In fact he is not a fellow
I should care for you to know well.
So no teas at his rooms, Madgie.
please, you must promise me this
If you’d got a brother, he'd put his
foot? down at once about it. Uncle
Fred is so busy plugging away at his
old books he doesn’t half know how
to look after you girls. Grantham i3
just the sort of fellow who, if you
gave him an inch of encouragement,
would get “fresh” and become a nui
sance. You take it from me. I re
main. your affectionate cousin,
EII.L.
HER LETTER TO HIM.
New York City, Jan. 27.
Dear Bill: I think it is perfectly
horrid of you to write to me like
that. You might know your little
cousin better than to think ^be would
allow anybody to “become a nuisance,”
if she didn’t want them to. And I
don’t see what right you have to inter
fere in my arrangements, and I’m very
glad I haven't got a brother if they
are so stuffy and disagreeable, and as
far as going to tea at people’s rooms
are concerned, why, Mollie used to be
fore she was engaged, she often told
me what fun she had at Harvard, so sure
ly if she did—-well, I shall write and ac
cept Mr. Grantham's invitation to-mor
row. Your affectionate cousin,
MADGE.
HIS LETTER To TIER.
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 28.
My Dear Madge: I’m awfully sorry
I’ve made you so angry, but look here,
little girl, 1 must know more about
l
\
men than you do, and really I only
meant It for the best when I advised
you to give young Grantham plenty
of room. As for going to tea with
fellows and that, 1 shouldn’t have
thought that Mollie’s was an example
you’d want to follow after what has
happened. I don’t w'ant to be mean
about her, but I’d thought jj»u were
rather a different sort of girl.
As it happens I’ve got to come to
town on Saturday morning to see
about some new tools. Couldn’t you
give up an afternoon to me, instead
of to Grantham? Let’s go and do a
matinee together. Daly’s, or anything
you like, as per old times. Do,
Madgie, to show me that you have
forgiven ine for the bit of straight
advice in my last letter.
I hope this will just catch.you in
time. With love from your affection
I ate cousin,
BILL.

AS ENGLISH IS WRITTEN.
Efforts of a Portuguese Hotel Keeper
and a Frenchman to Use the
Language.
brought out in Portugal bearing the
title “English as She Is Spoke’’ hals
for a long time enjoyed a worldwide
reputation. Tourists on the continent
of Europe sometimes come across ex
amples of English quite as curious as
that of the Portuguese author.
In the bedroom of a hotel at Genoa
the following notice was found: “The
lamentations of the tvaiters are obliged
to be made at the bureau.” It was in
a hotel also, not a church, that the
following request was made in writ
ing: “Visitors are prayed into dinner
when the bell rings, that they may not
disturb the order of the service.”
There is a hotel advertisement in
Calais station to the following effect:
“Quite a peculiar animation resides at
this fashionable spot of Paris. In the
rear the grand opera of a splendid ar
chitecture on one side of the Grand
Hotel, entirely made afresh and in a
more extensive way is the meeting of
all strangers of distinction.” Finally,
this curious legend has recently been
seen on a notice board on a garden
wall in Jersey, one of the Channel
islands: “Any dog found in this gar
den tne proprietors of the dog paid
one pound sterling for each times.”
Dentist Not Owner of Tooth.
At Gera, in central Germany, a gen
tleman who had been suffering from
toothache made up his mind to have
i a tooth out. The stump proved a diffi
cult one to draw, and when it was
taken out was of such curious
shape that the dentist declared
that he would keep it as a curi
osity. His patient thought he
would like to keep it himself, and
claimed it; but the dentist, on the
ground that a tooth, when drawn with
the free consent of a patient, is owner
less property as soon as It leaves the
jaw, refused to give it up. The patient
entered an action against the dentist,
who has had to deliver up the molar.
Damages.

IN A HAUNTED CHAMBER
Readable Tale of the Transformation
of an English Butler’s Fat
Calves.
This, relates the New York Sun, is the
tale she brought home of the haunted
chamber of the English country house:
“It was late in November,” she said,
“when I went to stop for a few days
with Lady G-, in Kent. The Pinas
was a renowned old place both for hos
pitality and picturesqueness.
“The house, a two-story rambling
structure which stood in among tho
great pine trees and was almost covered
with ivy, was haunted, so every one
said. Two little girls had been brutally
murdered some hundred years before;
their cries could be heard at twilight,
and sometimes the little figures were
seen in the library, also hurrying
through the corridors.
“The servants were afraid to pass the
library at that hour. As I am not a
nervous person, 1 had no fear, although
Esther had told some thrilling tales as
she combed my hair in the morning.
“It happened on this particular after
noon of which I am writing that Lady
G-- took her guests out riding. I
pleaded headache—I do not ride—as I
had some important letters to write
and it seemed the only opportunity. The
letters written, I sank into one of those
great-grandfather chairs to doze.
“A splendid log fire burned on the
hearth, and the crackling sparks chased
each other up the wide old chimney.
The weather was quite chilly, and the
ui cm iy ai 1.1110 liuio ui
year. I lost myself in slumberland.
“Presently, for it seemed only a mo
ment since I sat down, I awoke with the
terrible feeling of some unknown pres
ence being near. The room was almost
dark. A few embers still glowed on the
hearth and shed a faint light.
“I pluckily peeped through my half
closed lids, for, really, I was afraid to
open my eyes, truly afraid—of what? I
knew not. Esther’s stories seemed to
burn themselves into my brain in an in
stant.
“At this moment I discerned two
little figures dressed in white flitting
across the room. ‘The spirits!’ I
thought. Unable to bear the agony
any longer, I screamed.
“ ‘Pardon, mum,’ said Simmonds,
the butler, ‘I am just going to light
the lamps. I have brought the after
noon tea.’
“Now I
perfectly,
stockinged
understood the situation
Simmonds’ white silk
calves were the figures I
had seen moving aliput as he put th9
tea things do^vn, and thus ends my
belief in the Aales pi haunted houses.”
THpsr EX
pjjlar ij M
?NDED FINGERS
Po
Misconception of Long
standing at Last Cleared
Up.
A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded
as an affectation of gentility, as found
in the manner of holding a drinking
glass when drinking from it, is not
an affectation at all but really an un
conscious automatic act, says the New
York Sun.
A XIAO 11 UUVl.bUUUll VU1UJ1U 1 11
extending the third and fourth fin
gers of the hand clear of the glass
when it is lifted and tipped forward
with its brim to the lips and while
the glass is held there in the act of
drinking. No doubt it would common
ly be considered that people do this
for the sake of greater elegance, or
at least from an instinctive desire to
give to the hand such an appearance,
which it would not possess if they
closed the entire band around the
glass—if they clutched it, so to speak,
a manner of holding that would seem
to savor of rudeness.
But this observers says that really
people hold tbosfe two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient. If,
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
ly around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass so held re
quired more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fin
gers would then be called into use.
Whereas if the person drinking holds
the glass between the thumb and the
first two fingers he not only relieves
entirely the tension on the muscles
of the two other fingers, but also in a
way he pivots the glass and makes it
easier to tip on that account. Thus
the separation of the two fingers from
the glass is a perfectly natural act.
This philosopher concedes that the
act.may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adorning them, and he
concedes that sometimes when we see
eur fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
or curves of greater grace, and so he
concedes that in some cases the rais
ing of the fingers in lifting the glaS3
may show affectation in some meas
ure; but his point is that in its origi
nal inception and in its practice by
the many the elevation of these two
fingers is not an affectation, but ah act
quite unconscious and automatic.
Adulterated Oil.
Hitherto cotton seed oil, both the
summer and winter grades, h.»3 been
regarded as the cheapest possible oil
used for purposes of ood, but unscrupu
lous manufacturers and dealers saw a
way of doubling profits by the use of
corn oil and eagerly grasped the op
portunity. It was declared that prac
tically all of the cheaper and medium
grades of what is sold as salad oil or
olive oil now on the market is com
posed of cotton seed oil as the base
I and adulterated with from 25 per cent
to 50 per cent, of corn oil.
