' Desmand for 19ore Battleships.
When the Secretary of the Navy recently
demanded more battleships, Congress con
sidered his recommendations favorably, and
authorized the construction of several power
ful warships. Protection is what our se
ports require, and fortifications will not adu
quately supply this. Defense against all dis
orders of the digestive organs, such as dyspep.
sin constipation, blliousness, rheumatism
and nervousness, is adequately afforded by
that efficient remedy, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Try it.
Within the lastfive years 480,000 stands
of rifles have been exported from Ger
many to China.
Sarah Grand says that the "average
man" is the hope of the nation; but
here comes a' Chicago pulpiteer, the
Rev. Johnson Henderson, with the re
marl: that he is the "most uninterest
ing mortal on earth." "His very work.
by reason of its commonplace charac
ter, is a dead weight and a drudgery.
The great curse of society to-day is the
sinking into helplessness and inactivity
of the average man." Yet he knows
more and accomplishes more than
many of his forefathers who were ac
counted great men in their time. The
standard of achievement is higher now
days.

New England Women
Have an Abiding Faith in Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
After yeas of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a itrm
and steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth,
good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genu
lae satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the
merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings.
Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and all over America,
and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound greater
than in New En'land. its home. Merit. and merit alone, can rain this.
ORGANIC INFLAMMATION.
DsIAs MEs. PINKHAM :'- I was
troubled very badly with inflamma
tion of the bladder, was sick in bed
with it. I had two doctors, but they
did me no good. A friend gave me
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it helped me. I have now
taken three bottles of it, and I am
entirely cured. It is a God-send to
any woman, and I would recommend it
to any one suffering as I was. I think,
If most of the women would take
more of your medicine instead of
gin'g to the doctors, they would be
better off. The Compound has also
cured my husband of kidney trouble."
Mas. MABEL Ooonrx,
Box 160. Mechanic Falls, Maine.
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
"For two years I suffered from
nervous prostration, the result of
female.weakness. I had leucorrhoea
very badly, and at time of menstrua
tion would be obliged to go to bed.
Also suffered with headaches, pain
across back, and in lower part of
abdomen. I was so discouraged. I
had read of Lydia E. Pinkham's Com
pound, and concluded to give it a trial.
I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received
a very nice letter in return. I began
at once the use of her Vegetable Com
pound and Blood Purifier, and am now
ueeling splendid.. I have no more pain
at monthly periods, can do my own
work, and have gained ten pounds. I
would not be without your Vegetable
Compound. It is a splendid medicine.
I am verythankful for what ithas done
for me.' -Mas. J. W. J., 76 Carolina
Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass.
PAINFUL PERIODS.
"I cannot help but feel that it is
my duty to do something in regard to
recommending your wonderful medi
cine. I must say it
is the grandest
medicine on earth.
and have advised
a great many if
fering with female
troubles to take it.
I tell people I wish
I. could go on the
platform and lec
ture on it.
H. . " My trouble was
painful menstru-
ation. The suffering I endured pen
cannot describe. I was treated by
one of our most prominent physicians
here for five months, and found myself
getting worse instead of better. At
the end of the fifth month he told me
he had done all he could for me, and
that I had better go to the hospital.
" My sister advised me to try your
Vegetable Compound, as it cured her
of backache. I did so, and took it
faithfully, and am now cured of my
trouble, and in perfect health, many
thanks to your medicine. I cannot
praise it enough, and would recom
mend it to all who suffer from any
female weakness."- Mhs. H. S. BALL,

not you-you cannot tell until you try it. If you are ill, and really want to
get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk persuade you

BROKERS OP LONDON.
A Modest Clas Who Do Not Advertlie
Their Business.
Speaking of stockbrokers in London
the Daily Mail says they have little in
common but a desire to avoid public.
ity. The individual member must not
advertise his business, and he shrinks
from advertising himself. The New
York'broker rejoices tosee his name in
print, but the London broker, before
vouchsafing the barest information to
a newspaper reporter, insists upon s
promise that his name shall not be
mentioned. This modesty, however,
only holds good so far as the stopk ex
change is concerned, and it is doubt
less due largely to that mysterious fear
of the autocratic committee, which
only finds parallel in the schoolboy's
awe of his master, or in a Russian ed
itor's deference to the censor. He
likes to see himself mentioned it so

of occasionally seeking this- and he
enjoys the publicity that comes from
sport, speechmaking, subscription lists
and prospectuses. He used to be con

which now some of his clerks would

vestors, and by cold-watering speculae
tore-especially speculators in a small
way-he did much to encourage the
bucketshop, with its tapes, its covers
its knavery and its false hopes. All
that is now changed. Stockbrokers
have more than doubled their number
and competition has brought dows
their commissions. They encourage
their clients to speculate by all legiti.
mate means, and they frankly confess
that they cannot live by investment
alone.

For Polished Floors;
In oiling your floor with linseed oil
use a half gallon of boiled linseed oil,
mixed with a quarter of a pound of
burnt sienna, and rub it on the floor
with a large woolen rag. A strong de
coction of the inside of red oak bark,
set with copperas, makes a nice dye
for floors. After rubbing it in thor
oughly, and letting it dry, rub the floor
with a waxed brush, which will give
it a pretty polish.
True Living Rooms.
Have nothing for show, writes Julia
Ward Howe, in Good Housekeeping.
Let your rooms look as If they were
lived in. Provide convenient cases
for your books, comfortable chairs to
sit in, tables or desks at which one can
write with comfort, pleasant pictures
or engravings to look at. Do not envy
the melancholy splendor of superflu
ous apartments, rarely opened, and
full of ghostly shadows. The time
and money expended in the care of
these possessions are out of all propor
tion to any pleasure that can be de
'ived from them.
How to Treat an Umbrella.
When you come in out of the rain
don't plump your nice umbrella ferrule
down into the umbrella stand, unless
you want to ruin it. That lets the
water and the tiny specks of "grit"
run down into the lining under the
iron ring that secures the ribs, and it
stays there, making the silk tender,
and rotting it. Neither should you
leave the umbrella open to dry, as that
stretches the silk and makes it stiff,
and it will soon split. Shake it well,
then close it, and stand it, handle
down, where the water will run off.
Never set an umbrella or parasol away
tightly folded; it will split out just as
soon again. Leave -the folds to lie
loosely.-New York Mail and Express.
The Houseworker's Hands.
"Housework is rather hard on the
hands, but there are some precautions
which, if taken, will add greatly to the
comfort of the worker and the appear
ance of the hands," writes Maria Par
loa, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"Among the things which rough'en and
blacken the hands the most important
are dust, soap, fruit, vegetables and
neglect to properly dry the hands.
Wash all vegetables before. paring.
When the hands are stained by fruit
or vegetables be sure to remove the
stains before the hands come in con
tact with soap or soapy water. Re
move the stains with an acid, such as
lemon, vinegar or sour milk, then wash
in clear water. When using soap and
water for any purpose be sure to rinse
off all the soap before wiping the
hands. Always wipe the hanus per
fectly dry. Do not change soaps if you
can avoid it, and always use a good
soap. When sweeping and dusting
wear loose-fitting gloves. Have a pair
of rubber glovqeaor use when it is
necessary to have the hands in water
a great deal. Grease spoils rubber,
therefore the gloves must be washed
perfectly clean and smooth after dish
washing or any other work that rough.
ens them. With a little practice one
can wash dishes as well and as quick
ly with a dish-mop aswith a cloth and
the hands. There should be two mops,
one for the tableware and one for the
cooking-dishes. For washing floors
have a self-wringing mop. To soften
and whiten the hands use some sort of
cream on them at night, then powder
them with cornstarch and put them in
loose gloves kept for this purpose.'"

parsley and mix it in a stewpan with
two ounces of butter, two ounces of

Abraham Jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on a
chaip of larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal The namesake of Abraham
and Jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
restaurant man, a curiously made
buckskin coat, which was formerly a
possession of the bloodthirsty Apache
ekief, Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court, is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork, and a
striking commentary on the character
of old Geronimo. It is festooned with
forty or fifty long tufts of hair, which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
onimo must have had a particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair,
or a penchant for that kind of decora
tion for his coat, for, with one excep
tion, all the hair is of that color. The
exeeption is a very light brown, which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair is long. It is attached in hit
or-miss fashion to all parts of the
coat's exterior, and hangs down the
back so thick as to almost conceal the'
highly colored painted figures which
constltute the rest of its ornamenta
tion. As a curio the coat was worth
about $500.
