For years he struggled along with limited means, striving with all his powers and at times despair ing of success, but at last established a living, paying business, and made the name "Dr. Ward's" a household word in thousands of homes. Dur ing all these long years of toiling and waiting, Mr. Watkins little thought that men could be found so lost to every principle of right and justice as to undertaketodespoil him of his bus iness, and themselves to attempt to harvest the fruits of his life-leng labors. However, in this matter, he learned that lie was mistaken. In various parts of the country, sprang up bogus agents offering medicines said to beDr. Ward's or "just as good as Dr. Ward's," frequently leading customers into thinking they had the genuine article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi ness and the public from being imposed upon, Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the world-wide right to use^his name as a trade mark for a full line of medicines, and caused the same to be registered in the u. S. Patent Office NO. 23585. _t All customers are hereby cautioned to see that R.

In 1786 congress provided for the is suing of four coins—a $10 goldpiece, a dollar of silver, a 10 cent piece and a copper cent. Sir Henry Bessemer has paid upward of $50,000 in patent stamp duties alone on his various inventions, according to an English exchange. The fern is indicative of fascination.

A recently opened guano cave in Georgia was found to be inhabited by great swarms of white flies, with yel low legs and pale pink eyes.

The bank statistics of Ireland for 1895 are the most satisfactory ever recorded and show that Ireland has but to be let alone to attain a thoroughly sound eco nomic condition.

If the patient recovers, the physician keeps the money if the pa tient dies, the money is returned to the family of the deceased. The statistics of life insurance show that in the last 25 years the average woman's life has increased from nearly 42 to nearly 46, or more than 8 per cent, while man's life average has in creased from nearly 42 to 44, which is 5 per cent. The camel's foot is a soft cushion, pe culiarly well adapted to the stones and gravel over which it is constantly walk ing. During a single journey through the Sahara horses have worn out three sets of shoes, while the earners feet are not even sore. An old historian tells that a people living in Asia used to draw socks over the feet of the horses -when the snow lay deep upon the ground, and away off in Kamchatka they cover the feet of the dogs in the same way. It seems as if all ancient shoes were put on the horse and held there by some sort of lacing or strapping. In an inventory of the effects of Sir John Fastolfe, drawn up in 1459, is mentioned "one hat of beaver, lined with damask gilt, and also two 'straw en' hats." The plume of feathers, however, was the chief mark of rank. Henry VIII -had one- plume, consisting of eight Indian feathers, which he con sidered almost invaluable. The Hebrews originally made their shoes of roughly prepared skins and afterward of papyrus and cloth. Later on they were made in many styles and more elegant. The chief styles men tioned by the ancient books are the mil itary (ornamented with brass and iron) and the religious (covering the whole foot, and thus distinguished from the sandal worn by the common people). The ancient Celtic population of Eu rope and that in the British islands very probably wore either no head cov erings at all or such only as were of a very simple kind. "If their heads were covered at all," says Mr. Planche, in his work on British costumes, "it was by the 'cappan' or cap, from the Brit ish 'cab,' a hut, which it resembled in its conical shape, the houses of the Britons being made with wattles stuck in the ground and fastened together at top."

Breadth appears to be a feature in hats as well as bonnet^ ami trim- MIDSUMMER BAT. ming placed on both sides carries out this idea. Among the later favorites come the high crowned straw hats, which are appropriately worn with gar den party toilets. For indoor entertain ments toques and bonnets are the rule, huge hats being out of place for such occasions. Many women wear veils with the large hats. The newest thing in this line is a wide tulle veil, tied loosely about the hats, with the ends brought round again from the back to tie under the chin. A popular veil is of cream col ored net, with small white or black dots. Wrinkled waistbands are now fash ionable. These are very wide. Some are of black satin and can be worn with any gown, while others are of the same color as the gown. These bands, of whatever material made, are cut bias and wrinkle gracefully and fit perfectly. Garden party gowns are now in order. A very charming model is made in grass lawn over pale blue silk. It is trimmed with fine lace insertion and frills of black lace.

Ribbons, by the way, are a conspicuous feature of dress trim mings. Maltese lace is another popular dress trimming. White alpaca is made up in a variety of ways, the most popular, perhaps, be ing the coat and skirt style. As to grass linen gowns and linen crash suits, these are endless. They have proved a boon during the hot, sultry days. The Tea Cigarette. The tea cigarette has already been in troduced as an after dinner entertain ment in fashionable circles, where it is said to be very welcome, since it enables the ladies to keep their husbands com pany in their after dinner smoking. The tea cigarette is about three inches long and of the size of a lead pencil. The New York ladies are making presents of boxes of tea cigarettes to one another, as they formerly presented bonbons. Tea smoking was introduced from Paris into New York city. As theine, the poison of tea, is volatile, like the nico tine of tobacco, when tea is smoked like tobacco, Good Health says there will soon be a new series of nervous disorders added to the already long list of human ailments. Here and There. Miss Jennie Hilton, an Ohio woman, prospects in the Arizona mountains and finds the gold she seeks. That bright little English woman, Agnes Slack, who recently arrived in this country, is the honorary secretary of both the World's and British Wom an's Christian Temperance unions. A certain horticultural college in Eng land has tried the experiments of train ing women for gardeners', and the result is that it cannot turn out women gar deners fast enough to meet the demand for them. Among the many blessings that have followed the higher education of women, the New York Tribune says, "none is to be more commended than the depar ture of the sentimental woman as ideal."

PITTSBURG, NOV. 10.—The town of Spencer, W. Va., has been almost de stroyed by fire. Thirty-nine stores and houses were burned. The fire started in a room over Simmons & Co. 's gen eral store and swept along the main business street, leaving destruction in its path. The people were terror stricken, and thrown into a panic. The fire started at 11:04 p. m. and burned until late in the morning. 'The total loss is estimated at $200,000. The asy lum building, beiug across the creek from Spencer, was out of danger, but the fire could easily be seen by the in mates and the attendants had their hands full in handling the patients who were greatly frightened' and terror stricken. ALABAMA ^SENATORSHIP. Fight Now on for a Successor to Seuator Push. MONTGOMERY, NOV. 10.—The general assembly of Alabama convenes Tuesday. The first two weeks will be devoted chiefly to the election of a senator to succeed Senator Pngh. Governor Oates, Congressman Bankhead and General E. W. Pettus are the candi dates and they are showing about equal strength. Four-fifths of the legislature were elected as Democrats and more than two-thirds of them are silver ad vocates.
