One day a wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen'a wife of the famous arctic cxnlorer home at steel with which to enforce their cruel 1 chrlstianla. Instantly the window dem.'inds.

Sometimes I forget it. and then- there's a wild squabble. Frequently she wakes me up In the night and asks me to pee if It Is open. If I don't she nags at me until morning. A night or two ago I resolved to give her a hard scare. I rolled up a lot of old newspapers Into ft long bundle and laid the package flown by the window. - Of course, she tvas asleep and didn't hear me. Then I opened the window a little ways and crept Into bed. Some time after midnight she nudged mo and said: Jim. I'm sure you didn't oien that window. It's like a bake oven In the room. Get up and see. So I got up. Went to the window and threw th? sash as high as It would go. As I did so I gave a little shriek and then flung my bundle down to the walk below. It struck with a dull thud, nnd I dodged behind the curtain to await developments. The room was very dark, and I couldn't see my wife, but I heard her raise herself to a sitting posture. Then she spoke. 'Poor old Jim,' she quietly said, 'he's tumbled out of the window In his raggedest nightshirt. What a spectacle he'll be when they find him In the morning:' Then she lay down again ami went to sleep." "What did you dor' "Stood there like a fool for a minute or two and then sneaked into bed."

Other men will buy not more than one a year, and that will never lose Its deep und brilliant gloss. "I'll tell you why !t Is." said one of the best dressers In town the other day. "It Is because one man brushes his hnt with a stiff bristled whisk, and the other r :I.s has softly with a piece of woolen cloth. The felt of a hat Is such a delicate stuff that a stiff whisk applied to It lias pretty much the effect that a currycomb or a rake would have on n suit of clothes, lt wears the nap off. exposing the bare gray foundation In short order. "A piece of woolen cloth, rubbed over a hat with a circular motion that conforms to the grain, doesn't rub off the nap at ell. but keeps it lustrous and firm and of good color.

Over the island, which is alout three miles In circumference and which rises between SOO and D00 feet above the sea. floats continually an Immense cloud of vapor attaining an elevation of 10.000 feet. In the center Is a boiling lake of acid charged water covering 00 acres and surrounded with blowholes from which steam aud sul phurous fumes tire emitted with preat force and noise. With care a boat can be navigated on the lake. The sulphur from White island Is very pure, but little effort lias yet leen made to pro cure lt systematically. A Telejrrain That Talked. At one time when the late tJeorgle Drew Ilarrymore was playing In San Francisco a fabulous sum was offered her by a local theater for her services for a few weeks. The offer was ex ceedingly tempting, but her contract with Charles Frohman stood In the way. However, on tne notiunz ven ture nothing won theory, she tele graphed a detailed statement of the offer she had reeefved to Frohman In New York, explained how anxious she was to accept it and wound up with the plea. "Will you release me?" In due course of time she received the following telegram In answer: Sirs. Georgie Drew Banymore, Palace Ilotcl, San Francisco : No: Charles Fboiikux. Albeit disappointed, Mrs. Barrymore at once sent this characteristic reply: Charles Frohman. Sew York Citv: Oh! Geobhie Phew BaBiituoee. New York Tribune. r1 l'p the Price. Senator Frye of Maine was once of- rereu iou to write an article Tor a leading magazine, but refused, saying the figure was not large enough. "How much would you require?" asked the editor.

"I couldn't have written tbe article anyhow." A Mlrhty Old Table. A wealthy man was once exhibiting proudly to a younger acquaintance a table which he had bought. He said it was 500 years old.

When a physician tells a woman suffering with ova rian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. The very thought of tho operating tablo and the knife strikes terror to her heart. And our hospitals are full of women who are there for ovarian and womb operations ! It is quite true' that these troubles may reach a stago where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Mrs. Pinkham's med icine after the doctors had said the operation must be performed. Iijdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. In fact, up to tho point where the knife must be used to secure instant relief, this medicine is certain to help. Ovarian troubles are easily developed from" womb troubles, and womb troubles are so very common that ovaritis is steadily on the increase among women. It is, nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend wrong treatment for it is a crime for which there cannot be too deep a penalty. It is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicine to cure it, that we present for ovarian and womb trouble Iiydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day. Any person who could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham's files at her office in Lynn, Mass., would be convinced of the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham's Compound. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who have escaped the operat ing table by tho uso of this medicine. Let any woman suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pinkham's advice. If you are beyond tho reach of the medicine, you will be frankly told so, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully and kindly advised. The most serious of all the diseases of women, as well as the minor ills, are promptly overcome by Earnest Words of Gratitude. WRS.F.M.KMAPP " Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam : After my child was born, blood poison set in, which left me with granulated inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I had suffered from suppressed and painful menstruation from a pirl. The doctors told me the ovaries would have to be removed. I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still re mained in miserable health in both liody and mind, expecting1 to part with my reason with each cominjf month? After using1 one bot tin of the Compound, I became entirely rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to use your remedies until cured. The last nine months have been parsed in perfect pood health. This I owe entirely to Lydia II. Pinkham's Vege table Compound.' MliS. P. M. KNAPP, 1528 Kinnickinnic Ave., Milwaukee, Wis. "Dear Mrs. FTnkham: Your Vegetable Compound has completely cured me of the worst form of womb trouble, and made mo a strong, healthy, robust woman. Before usinj Lydia H. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I suffered with severe pains in back and side, headache and nervousness. Menses would sometime: occur every two weeks, and once I had a se vere hemorrhage which lasted a month. I wns confined to my bed nnd the attending physi cians told me I would have to undergo an oper ation as soon an I was strong enough. I read in one of your little books several testimonials from ladies who were cured by your Compound after having been told by their doctors that an operation was necessary, and I made up my mind then and there to commence taking your Compound. I did so and it has completely re stored me to good health. I have gained twenty two pounds since taking it and toy flesh is ;is solid as a rock. My friends remark about Iho chnnge in me. I am a living advertisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can do, and have in fluenced many of my friends to try it. which has proved very gratify ing in its results.

Before undergoing it, however, I 'determined to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. I am so glad I did, for it cured me. I nm a well woman now and can do any kind of work.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has had on my health. I was suffering to such an extent from ovarian trouble that my physician thought an operation would be necessary. Yonr medicine having been recommended to me, I decided to try it. After using several bottles I found that I was cured. My system was toned up and I suf fered no more with my ovaries.
