It expels all poisons, stimulates the
internal organs, cleanses the system and
purifies the blood Such is Hollister's
Rocky Mountain Tea, the most effective
preventative and cure of bad blood, con
stipation and sluggish liver. Nick Doff

NEVER TOUCH THE SURFACE
What Happens When Drops of
Water Are scattered on Top of
a Hot Stove.-
It is Impossible to throw a few drops
of water on a redhot stove. The water
can never touch the stove at all. What
is seen is a few drops rolling rapidly
over the surface, gradually getting
smaller until they disappear. If the
drops are on a perfectly level place
one can see under them to the other
side of the room, thus proving that
tn67 are not in contact with the stove
Itself.
What actually happens is that the
bottom of the drop changes at once
to steam or vapor on coming close to
the hot surface, and this vapor is sup
plied by the drop'as it gradually goes
away. So the drop rests on a cushion
of vapor until It Is entirely dissipated,
This state of water Is known as the
spheroidal state, and Is of interest on
account of ita peculiarity and seeming
ly paradoxical behavior.
The reason why the drop 1b not im
mediately evaporated or changed to
steam Is also very interesting. The
water vapor that Intervenes between
its under surface and the redhot stove
is a very bad oooductor of heat and
consequently the full Intensity of the
heat cannot get Into the water itself,
only the amount transmitted through
the vapor being available for this pur
pose.—The Sunday Magazine.
Mr. London writes: ''If owned your
Tea, I would Kiiarnntee a cure or refund
their money. I sav it's Nature cure and
the only one for the blood." Hollister's
Rocky Mountain Tea cured him where
other remedies failed, Try it with your
self. Nick Doffing.

If we wenld esteemed for wisdom be

Six months from now we'll wish that
we could see a flake of snow
And tread upon the icy pond and

Six months from now we'll yearn

That sparkle like great jewels in

Six months from now we'll view the

And wail because the mercury goes

One day while resting neath a tree,
To dodge the noontide heat,
A wondrous bird camped down by me
Upon the garden seat.
I was not satisfied to gaze
Upon its wings of gauze,
I felt that I its form must raise
And hold it in my paws.
I was not satisfied to view
It's beauties from afar
I was like grown up people, who
Must dig into a star.
And so I seized it deed of shame!
And there was none to cheek!
And then a streak of lightning came
And hit me in the neck.
They put me in my little bed
And doped and poulticed me

"Was but a bumble bee. ,.
One more week is softly closing,
One more week of toil and care,
And I'm Bitting, gently dozing
In my good old rocking chair,
Thinking of the week behind me,
And the thoughts that through
me creep,
With their little prods remind me
That I'm pretty small and cheap
I've been fussy, mean and cranky
And my heart is full of guile,
I denied the kid a "thankie"
When he hoped to earn a smile
I've been finding fault and snarling
At my good irau sitting there
If she wasn't just a darling
She would hit me with a chair.
Had I licked some fellow mortal,

I have nagged at those who love me,
And I need a good swift kiek.

The princess will be obliged to
choose her own partners from the
young officers of the crack regiments,
as no civilian is ever allowed to dance
with an imperial princess. Moreover,
the princess must not choose the
same partner more than once nor at
two successive ballB, in order to avoid
gossip.
The officers she ought to choose are
indicated by her ladies-in-waiting. Tfae
choice goes by rank and title. Though
the princess may lose her heart to
any officer she will not be permitted
to marry one not of royal birth. Her
first season, bound about with all this
red tape, is likely to prove some
what less happy than that of de
butantes who are not of royal state.
Emperor In Role ef Good Samaritan.
Emperor William acted the good Sa
maritan in his walk Thursday after
noon, says a dispatch from Berlin.
While returning to the castle
through the tiergarten afoot, accom
panied by an adjutant, after visiting
the hunting exposition in the zoologi
cal gardens, his majesty found an un
conscious man lying in a lonely spot.
He Immediately knelt and tried to
revive the man, at the same time send
ing his adjutant to fetch a c*b. Whe.n
the vehicle arrived, the emperor and
adjutant lifted the still senseless man
Into It, ordering that he be driven to a
hospital.
The emperor continued his walk and
later telephoned to the hospital and
learned that the man had recovered.
He was one of the unemployed and had
fainted from fatigue and hunger. His
majesty ordered that the man be kept
at the hospital, and promised to help
him find work.

Cresson, Pa.—" Five years ago I had a bad fall, and hurt
myself inwardly. I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks,
and when I stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a bottle of
Ijydia ID. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it as directed,
and now I am a stout, hearty woman."—Mrs. Ella E. Aikey,
Cresson, Pa.
Baird, 'Wash.—" A year ago I was sick with kidney and
bladder troubles and female weakness. The doctors gave me
up. All they could do was to just let me go as easily as possible.
I was advised by friends to take Ijydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier. I am completely cured of my
ills, and I am nearly sixty years old."—Mrs. Sarah Iieighton,
Baird, Wash.
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E,.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after
reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged
to try this wonderfully helpful remedy.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit.
