“ Dear Mrs. Pixkham : —When I
passed through what is known as
‘ change of life,’ I had two years’ suf

chills would pass over me ; my appetite
was variable and I never could tell for

a day at a time how I would feel the
next day. Five bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
changed all that, my days became days
of health, and I have enjoyed every day
since—now six years.
“We have used considerable of your
Vegetable Compound in our charitable
work, as we find that to restore a poor
mother to health so she can support her
self and those dependent upon her, if
such there be, is truer charity than to
give other aid. You have my hearty
endorsement, for you have proven
yourself a true friend to suffering wo

foolish if you don’t.

ITALY'S OBSOLETE STAMPS.
Uncle Sam Reaps a Rich Reward from
Peculiar Postal Regulations.
As a result of a somewhat peculiar
postal regulation in Italy, the United
States government is reaping some
revenue on letters from that country
improperly prepaid as to postage.
No less than GOO letters were received
by the Boston post office one day re
cently. It appears that after the
deal'll of King Humbert, about two
years ago, postage stamps bearinghis
features were declared obsolete by
the Italian government, and though
the poor peasants may have paid out
their hard-earned cents for the old
issue, this is repudiated.
A regulation of the international
postal agreement provides that let
ters bearing no postage will be trans
mitted to their destination, and dou
ble the amount which it would have
cost the sender for the proper postage
shall be collected, before delivery.
Some of these Italian letters bear
the crude red penciled letter “T,”
meaning tax, so marked by the Ital
ian postal authorities, and such, on
being received in New York, were
stamped by the neat machinery of the
United StateS authorities, “Due ten
cents.” But a considerable propor
tion of these fiOO letters here no “T ”
nor any “postage clue,” although
the only stamp affixed was of the
repudiated issue. It looked as if some
of the Italian postal clerks had been
careless, because in a batch of let
ters from Salerno half were marked
“T” and half came through without
it.
The New York post office had let
all without the “T” pass without
the “postage due,” and the Boston
authorities decided to take similar
action, and allow all such letters be
delivered to the addresses without
any additional stamp. The postal
authorities here had no doubt as to
their duty concerning all which were
stamped “postage due” letters.
Clearly, the amount due must be col
lected. They took the position,
which seems cpiite rational, that they
should follow the order of the origi
nal office through which the mail
passed. Tins, in Boston, will give
the Italian colony the benefit of the
doubt, and ten cents is quite a good
deal to a poor man. The Italian gov
ernment is reaping no benefit in the
case of this great number of letters
sent to their citizens abroad. In
stead, the United States government
is deriving the revenue of ten cents
for each “obsolete” stamp.:—Boston

TELEPHONE AND SURGERY.
Tells Operator When His Probe Comes
in Contact with Bullet.
According to a London medical
journal, several London hospital sur
geons are now using the telephone
whenever they have occasion to probe
for bullets or other metallic objects
imbedded in the body of a person.
The receiver of the telephone is
placed on the head of the operator,
and the patient is placed in the usu
al manner, in contact with a plate,
the general medium employed being
a wet sponge or some paper saturated
with a saline solution, which is spread
over the plate. The latter is con
nected with a telephone by wire,
and the probe, after it has been in
troduced into the body, vibrates as
soon as the foreign metallic substance
comes in contact with it. The probe
is also connected with the telephone
by a wire, and thus no such blunder
is possible as sometimes happens
when an ordinary battery is used.
When a telephone is used in this way,
the plate acts as one pole and the
■r»rr»l»n nc fno rvtltor "\Tr»r»n 1 •' Vml_
lets, grains of shot and pieces of steel
and copper have been easily located
by use of this simple method. The
only instances when the telephone
does not work satisfactorily are when
the objects to be located are of the
same metal as the probe. French
and German surgeons have been fol
lowing these experiments in London
with the intention of introducing
the same method into the hospitals
of Berlin and Paris.—Scientific
American.
An Important Discovery.
An important archaeological dis
covery was recently made at the Rom
an forum under the Via Sacra front
ing the temple of Antonius—ra pre
historic cemetery, which must have
been the last resting place of the Sa
bine shepherds who lived on the
northern bank of the morass destined
to become the Roman forum. It
(consists of rudely constructed graves
tenented by fragmentary skeletons,
which must be more than 26 centuries
old, and will surely prove an inter
esting study to anthropologists. The
bones, especially the skulls, have been
photographed and then carefully col
lected
RECORD OF THE PAST,
The best guarantee of the future is
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testified
that Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured
them of numerous kidney ills, from
common backache to dangerous dia
betes, and all the attendant annoy
ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to stay
cured. Here is one case:
Samuel J. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third St., Goshen.
Ind., says: “On the 25th day of Au
gust, 1897, I made an affidavit before
Jacob C. Mann, notary public, stating
my experience with Doan’s Kidney
Pills. I had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered excruciat
ingly. J took every ipedicine on the
market that I heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. I began
taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, and the
results I gave to the public in the state
ment above referred to. At this time,
an the 19th day' of July, 1902, I make
this further statement, that during
the five years which have elapsed T
have had no occasion to use either
Doan’s Kidney Tills or any other med
icine for my kidneys. The cure effect
ed was a permanent one.”

medicine which cured Mr. Taylor will

by the action of a young author who bad

say something nice of Howells. On one
bccasion the younger author made an ad

RUNG UP HUSBAND'S WAGES,
The CoinInetor’K Wife Mnkes a Fine
Tissue Paper Lamp Shade with
HIn Punch.
Mackenzie is a conductor on an owl
train on tne “L,” consequently he does
his sleeping in the daytime, says the
Chicago Kecord-Herald.
Now, as everyone, knows who lias
had occasion to use the elevated after
12 o’clock, the fares, after passing cer
tain points on the line, are collected
by the conductors, who for the pur
pose of registration, carry the little
hell punches once so familiar on the
surface lines.
One afternoon lately he was roused
from liis diurnal slumber by his indus
trious little wife, who brought out for
his admiration a lamp shade made of :
colored tissue paper. She made it t
with her own pretty hands, and its j
scalloped border was perforated with •
innumerable little holes, through ]
which the light of the parlor lamp -
would fall on the table. 1
“Tell me if you think it pretty,” de- 1
founded Mrs. Mackenzie, holding the j
shade out for her husband to in- j
spect it. j
“It looks lovely,” began Mackenzie; j
but as he scrutinized it more closely j
he turned pale and said, hoarsely; i
“You made those holes with my bell j
punch.” •
“Yes. clear.” said his dear little wife, j
blithely, “while you were asleep. 11 ■
was so convenient to punch holes with. ;
Rut what makes you speak that way?” I
demanded the little woman, greatly :
alarmed at the sudden change which ■
had come over the unfortunate Mac- ]
kenzie.
“Oh, nothing,” he replied, “only
you’ve rung up enough fares on that
lamp shade to use up six months’sal
ary. Every one of those holes will cost
me five cents, that’s all.”
And the unhappy Mackenzie, in the
agony of his spirit, groaned aloud.

The kaiser is credited as saying that
to him the most miserable spectacle

he has educated his sons on the same
