The following letter was written by Mrs. Kellogg, 1628 Lincoln I Ave., Denver, I Col.,to Mrs. Pink f ham.Lynn.Mass.: ' Dear Mrs. Pinkham ; " For five years 1 was troubled with a . - tumor, which kept Mrs. Sarah ne HogS growing,causing me intense agony and meat mental depression. I was unable to at tend to my house work, and life became a bur den to me. I was confined for days to my bed, lost my appetite, my courage and all hope. "I could not bear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to sick to give it a trial I felt so discouraged that I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. " The Compound continued to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorlied, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a wpll woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter In newspapers, so other women may know of the wonderful curative powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."

Kira* the Soil Must Receive Alten, tic«, Then Cover Unsightly Fence with Lovely Vines. The first gardening problem to tackle in an ordinary back yard is the soil, and it is generally tue last to receive honest attention and a "square deal." It is probably full of brickbats and other builder's rubbish and almost devoid of available plant food. The first year or two a part of the garden allowance snould surely be put into compost, which should be thor oughly mixed with the soil when it Is spaded. Don't give up the most stubborn, sour-looking soil. If it will glow a pig weed the chances are that it will grow something more desir able. The finer the soil is made the blitter. Wood ashes, lime and manure will all help the soil in texture as well as in the line of plant food. Next, the ience and ugly outbuild ings must be hidden. Vines will do this. The rear elevation of the house deserves the same careful treatment. Oi the permanent vines Boston ivy is best for stone and brick. Virginia creeper for wood. Wistaria is excel lent for great cities, but seldom, If ever, blooms there. Its foliage is worth the cost. It needs iron rods for support. Annual vines of many sorts will cover the fences the first year or so and pay their way In cut flowers. Nasturtiums, scarlet runners, wild cu cumbers, morning glories, are all good ana cost little. There are more seeds in some packets than you can use. Divide with your neighbors. Hall's honeysuckle can be grown from seed If necessary for economy's sake, but nursery-grown plants give quicker re sults. They eventually climb high on verandas and will make beautiful hedges If they have a framework of woven wire fencing. Their white and straw colored blossoms make fragrant and graceful table decorations. WILHELM MILLER. EGG-PLANT RECIPES. There Is No More Tender Vegetable Nor More Toothsome When Properly Prepared.

"I wish to inform you that the Cuticura Remedies have put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot, and treated with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. same Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. Dur ing the day It would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, Inflamed and badly swol len, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering it ly breaks my heart, could be heard down stairs. The suf fering of my son made me full of misery. I had no amhitlon to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's incurable, and gave it up for a bad Job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cutl cura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cutlcura Ointment is worth its weight in gold; and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resol vent, my child was cured.

It But There Was a Doubt as to Whether He Had Ever Caught the Office. A main from Pennsylvania went to Vineland on a business errand. The town was strange to him, and he was unacquainted with the man (a lawyer) he had gone to see. The directions he received were so Indefinite that he found himself on the elge of the town without having come to the house be sought. Then he met an old negro and asked the way of him and learned that the house lay about a quarter of a mile farther down the road. "The man I want to see is a law yer," he said to the old man. "Is this Mr. Dash down the road a lawyer?" "He ain't no lawyer that I ever heard tell of," answered the negro. "Y<m're sure?" The old negro scratched his head In deep thought. Then a gleam of re membrance lighted his eye. "Now I think of It, boss," he said, " 'pears like I do recollect he ran for lawyer one time." $100 Reward, $100.

The symptoms of stomach trouble vary. Some victims have a ravenous appetite, others loathe the sight of food. Often there is a feeling as of weight on the chest, a full- feeling iu the throat. Sometimes the gas presses on the heart and leads the sufferer to think he has heart disease. Sick headache is a fre quent aud distressing symptom. A weak stomach needs a digestive tonio and that there is no better tonic for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is shown by the statement of Mr. A. O. Merrill, a mining man, of Oueals, Calif., a veteran of Battalion O, Third U. S. Regular Infantry. " I had never been well since I left the army," he says, "always having had tronble with my stomach, which was weak. I was ran down and debilitated. Could keep nothing on my stomach, aud at times had sick headache so bad that I did not care whether I lived or died. My stomach refused to retain even liquid food and I almost despaired of getting well as I had tried so many kinds of medicine without relief. Then I was bitteu by a rattlesnake and that laid me up from work eutirely for a year, six months of which I spent in bed. •* One day a friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me and I began taking them. They cured me when all other medicine had failed. I have recommended the pills to a great many, for during my recovery every one asked me what was helpiug me so and I told them Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I can not speak too highly of them."

Geneva is only one of the universi ties of little Switzerland, according to Charles F. Thwing, In Harper's Maga zine. Base], founded In 1640; Laus anne, founded as an academy In 1637, and as a university In 1890; Zurich, founded in 1832; Bern, founded In 1834; Freiburg, founded in 1889—have each secured a high educational place, though in its historic impressiveness Geneva is unique. But Geneva and her five companions are noble illus trations of the spirit and power of democracy. Their support Is derived largely from the cantons in which they are located. Although the constitution of 1848 authorized the federal government to erect and to maintain a polytechnic School and university, the university has not been established. The can tons support their universities with a willingness which is as great as ob tains in the state of the American union touching their respective state universities. The University of Zu rich is maintained by a common wealth of only 50,000 people, and with in an area of less than 700 square miles. Basel, with a population ot less than 100,000, supports its uni versity. They are examples of the power of an enlightened democracy which interests itself in the highest education. This interest is not con fined, either, to the cause of liberal learning. For the technical schools of Zurich are among the best of the world. POPULAR SONG TRAVELED FAR "Bill Bailey" Listened To by Pilgrime in India. Popular songs travel far these days, especially when they are engraved on ''the record cylinder of the common phonograph. Sidney Low, describing the Kumbh Mela, or pilgrim fair, held once every twelve years near Allaha bad, says that he entered a large open pavilion where worship was going on. Men sat In rows while a reader re cited passages from the "Granth," the sacred volume of the Sikhs. "There is an instrumental accompaniment," Mr. Low writes. "One man beats a small tom-tom, another performs on a kind of concertina and the brass bell mouth of a phonograph yawns be side him. "It is thought the visitors might like to hear the phonograph. The reader stops and the machine—a very bad one—grinds out what I presently discovered to be an English lyric, painfully familiar. 'Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?' asks the wheezy phonograph in a cockney accent. "The old priest leans on his stick and beams with pride, and the black bearded Worshipers look on with un relaxed features, thought they were listening to a de votional melody." Perhaps they Fish Cheap in Florida and Cuba. Commissioner George W. Bowers of the Bureau of Fisheries returned the other day ' from Florida and Cuba, where he went to study the culture of spqnges and the marketing of fish In that community. "I have always held," said Mr. Bowers, "that the old woman who raised chickens and the Bureau of Fisheries were the greatest benefac tors of mankind. As long as chick ens and fish are to be had all the beef trusts in the world cannot run the meat market up unreasonably, be cause the masses of people will then eat chickens and fish." Mr. Bowers stated that the fish mar kets of Havana were a model of ef ficiency and thoroughness. This con dition is probably due to the large number of Catholics who are heavy consumers of fish. In Florida Mr. Bowers found that fish were generally eaten and were remarkably cheap. The negro fisher men bringing in shad and other fish from the St. John River and other streams, where they are plentiful, sell them to the dealers at three cents each, and consumera can procure fish weighing from two to five pounds each for a nickel. This assures the poor people an abundance of cheap food.—Washington Post. Superstition That Hurt. Senator Foraker In discussing a rpther unfair attack that one states man had made upon another said: "This reminds me of the young man from the country who went to New York to take a course of boxing les sons. "He chose for his instructor a not ably hard-hitting heavyweight. The heavyweight said to him as the first lesson began: •" 'Now, I may hurt you a little, but you mustn't mind. And you in re turn hit me Just as hard as you can. Don't be afraid. I shan't bother.' "And he smiled maliciously. "And the malicious smile still linger ed on his lips ae—bang! — with a crashing blow on the jaw the heavy weight went down. "He rose painfully.
