Common Talk with Women If a person is ill and needs a medi cine is it not wise to get one that has stood the test of time and has hun dreds of thousands of cures to its credit ? A great many women who are ill try everything' they hear of in the way of medicine, and this experimenting' with unknown drugs is a constant menace to their already impaired health. This seems to us very unwise,- for there are remedies which are no ex periments and have been known years and years to be doing only good. Take for instance Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound ; for thirty years its record has been one un broken chain of success. No medicine for female ills the world has ever known has such a record for cures. It seems so strange that some people will take medicines about which they really know nothing, some of which might be, and are, really harmful ; while on the other hand it is easily proved that over one million women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. We have published in the news papers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine. All 'this should, and does, produce a spirit of confidence in the hearts of women which is difficult to dislodge, and when they are asked to take some thing else they say, " No, we want Lydia E. Pinknams Vegetable Com pound, which has been tried, and never found wanting, whose reliability Is established far beyond the experi mental stege." We have thousands of letters like the following addressed to Mrs. Pink ham, showing that Monthly Suffering Is Al ways Cured by Lydia Em Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, also Back ache and Bearing-down pains. "I suffered untold agony every month and could get no relief until I tried your medicine; your letter of ad vice and a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have made me the happiest woman alive. I hall bless you as long as I live." Miss Joie Saul, Dover, Mich. " Four years ago I had almost given up hope of ever being well again. I was afflicted with those dreadful head ache spells which would sometimes last three or four days. Also had backache, bearing-down pains, leucor rhoea. dizziness, and terrible pains at monthly periods, confining me to my bed. After reading so many testi monials for your medicine, I concluded to try it. 1 began to pick up after taking the first bottle, and have con tinued to gain rapidly, and now feel like a different woman. I can recom mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the highest terms to all tick women." Miss Rosa Heldeh. 126 W. Cleveland Ave., Canton, G. Two Letters which Prove that Lydia Em Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Will Remove Tumor and Cure Other Female Weakness. " Two years ago I was a great lufferer from womb trouble and pro fuse flowing each month, and tumors would form in the womb. I had four tumors in two years. I went through treatment with doctors, but they did me no good, and I thought 1 would have to resort to morphine. " The doctor said that all that could help me was to have an operation and have the wo.jb remosed. but I had heard of Mrs. Pinkhanrs medicine and decided to try it, and wrote for her advice, and after taking her Vegetable Compound the tumors were expelled and I began to get stronger right along, and am as well as ever before. Can truly say that I would never had fotten well had it not been for Lydia !. Pinkham's Compound." Mart A. Stahl. Watsontown, Pa. " After following the directions given in your kind letter for the treat ment of leucorrhea, I can say that I have been entirely cured by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies, and will gladly recommend them to my friends." A. B. Davids, Bingham ton, N. Y. Another Case of Womb, Kidney and Bladder Trouble Cured by Lydia Em Pinkham's Vegetable Compoundm " Dear Friend Two years ago'l had child-bed fever and womb trouble in its worst form. For eight months after birth of babe I was not able to sit up. Doctors treated me, but with no help. I had bearing-down pains, burning in stomach, kidney and bladder trouble and my back was stiff and sore, the right ovary was badly affected and everything I ate distressed me, and there was a bad discharge. " I was confined to my bed when I wrote to you for advice and followed your directions faithfully, taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, Liver Pills and using the Wash, and am now able to do the most of my housework. I believe I should have died if it had not been for your Com pound. I hope this letter may be the result of benefiting some other suffer ing woman. I recommend your Com pound to every one." Mrs. Mary Vaughn, Trimble, Pulaski Co., Ky. JOHN POOLE.

Once, after exposing the ridiculous blunders of the editor of certain pld plays, James Russell Lowell concluded with the remark, "In point of fact, we must apply to this gentleman the name of the first King of Sparta." No one remembered, of course, what this was, but when they looked it up they found it was Eudamidas. As Horace Mane sat In his study one evening, an insane man rushed into the room, and; after abusing him for all kinds of fancied grievances, challenged him to a fight. Mr. Mann replied: "My dear fellow, it would give me a great pleasure to accommodate, but I can't do it, the odds are so unfair. I am a"Mann by name and a man by nature two against one! It would never do to fight." The Insane man answered: "Come ahead; I am a man, and a man beside myself; let us four have a fight" Prince Bismarck and Bancroft, the historian, at one time minister to the court of ' Berlin, were one day dining with Herr von der Heydt, who prided himself on the quantity and quality of I the food which he furnished to his ! guests. In those days (1868) Bismarck , was still'in possession of his wonderful ! appetite. Bancroft, at first amazed, be came at last anxious on seeing his friend twice partake largely of the first courses. "Dear Count," he remarked I with a world of anxiety in his voice, , "I believe there is more to come." "I should hope so," replied Bismarck, Joy fully; and renewed his terrifying prac tice at the next course. It was once usual for Highland shep herds to take their dogs into church and leave them outside the pews. Two shepherds at enmity sat on opposite sides of the aisle one Sunday, and, soon after the sermon began, the dogs one a collie and the other not seemed to enter Into their master's quarrel. The shepherds' egged on their dogs in un dertones, and soon there was a real fight in progress. Most of those in the immediate neighborhood craned their necks over the pews to see how the en counter was coming out, and not a few were standing up. The minister's pa tience was ultimately exhausted, and so he called to his "hearers" and said: "Ah, weel, my britherin, I see ye are more interested In the dog-fight than In my sermon, and so I'll close the buike and I'll bet half a crown on the collie!" Capt. Hans Miron, who lost his life at his post of duty on the burning Saale at Hoboken, a few months ago, was fond of telling of his early introduction to the stern realities of his chosen ca reer. He had but Just come on board the schooner where, as cabin-boy, he was to serve his apprenticeship to the sea, and was still staring about him with boyish interest and inquisitive ness, when the skipper approached and ordered him to assist in washing down the deck. He put down his bundle and started awkwardly to do so, when a second order, acompanied by emphatic expletives, was given him to take off his shoes and stockings. He was per fectly willing to oblige, but at home he had not been permitted to wet his feet. "No," he answered Innocently, with an engaging smile, "I should not mind, but my mother does not allow it." The skipper was a rough old sea-dog, who did not appreciate obedience unless it was rendered to himself, and his reply was a stunning blow that flung the boy across the deck. "But after that," Capt. Miron. would say, with a great laugh and not a shadow of resentment, "I knew who was captain of that schooner, and it was not my mother." TUNING A PIPE ORGAN.. , Tt Takes Tw or hree Pays and Ta a Nerve-Trying- J b. "The misuse which many pipe organs suffer Is a wonder to me," said a vet eran organ tuner and builder. "Church organs cost from $1,000 to $10,000. They are very sensitive to changes of tem perature and yet many are heated and chilled once a week all winter aud al lowed to get damp soaked in summer. The same people who neglect an organ will take good care of a piano costing a tenth or twentieth as much. "An organ is a good deal like a hu man being when It comes to changes of the thermometer. Sudden drops put a man out of tune and it's the same with the instrument. It needs an even, moderate temperature during the win ter instead of a roasting on Sunday and a freeze the rest of the week. In summer a stone or brick chuich gets damp. A slight fire once a week will keep the organ dry. "A pipe organ requires tuning at least once a year and the best instru ments are looked over two or three times in that period. It is a two or three days' Job and needs two men. : Besides the tuner up in the organ an assistant must be at the key board to hold down the keys. Temperature has ito be considered even In tuning. All the pipes must be brought to pitch at i 'about the same degree, and this degree ;should be that which the organ usual ly has when in use. I "I believe that pipe organ tuning is the most nervous work one can tackle. In fact, after long experience I have icome to believe that I tune with my nerves. No, I don't refer to the nerves I :of hearing. I get my impressions that 1 way, but T tune with my nervous sys jtem. My assistant strikes the chord. If it is not true I feel a nervous stress land strain. As soon as the chord is '.true my nerves become narmonious, I too. It sounds funny, but it's so. "Two or three days may seem like a Hong time to take to tune an organ, but , ! when you stop to think of the 1,700 ; 'pipes in a large modern Instrument, it isn't so long. A large organ will have ;a compass of five octaves or sixty -one 'keys. These instruments have twenty eight registers and a pipe to each key ana register brings the number to J J08. Not every key and register has a pipe. but as some have two it amounts to i -that. The pipes are of all soits and 'sizes, most of them wood, but many of metal. A small number of the large and long wooden pipes never get out of tune. They are too long. For many years the fancy pipes at the front of aa organ were only ornamental, bnt nowadays these sound as well. "I find that pipe tuning Is a mystery to most people. They can understand how the piano strings are tightened and loosened. But changes in the pitch of pipes queer them. It isn't strange either, for the average organ has five kinds of tuning. Of course, the pitch depends on the length of tne pipe. The pitch may be raised by shortening the pipe or by stopping the open end. A number of the wooden pipes are stopped by wooden slides. Handles are attached and the pipe is tuned by moving the slides up or down. Other woods hare set In the top a piece of metal which Is rolled or bent oyer par tially to stop the pipe. "Ribbon strips are cut In the sides of the tall metal pipes and rolled down. These break the column of air and act the same as cutting off the top of the pipe. Another kind of pipes, the reeds, are on a different principle. The length of the reed controls the pitch. A wire presses tightly against the reed and is moved to lengthen or shorten the Vi brating length." New York Sun. WAS PEACHES AND CREAM. General Starr Always Glad to Meet Young West-Pointer. A gallant old American soldier who at one time was well known In Kansas had many Idiosyncrasies, not the least of which was an Irrepressible dislike for young lieutenants when first sent out from West Point The name of this old soldier was General Starr, and at the time of which we write he was a major in the Sixth United States Cavalry, though daring the civil war he had been a brigadier general. In 1874 General Starr was in com mand at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with the message that Lieutenant Morrison, Just from West Point, was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty. In response to this message the old gen eral was starting for his office, when his. wife, a motherly old soul, plucked him by the sleeve and said: "Now, general, promise me that you won't be rough with that young man." "Rough?" said the old man, smiling amiably upon his matrimonial compan ion. "Why I'll be peaches and cream unless the young dog riles me.' Reaching his office the general was confronted with a dapper little fellow, as spick and span as though he had Just come from the hands of his barber and tailor, while he had the half-supercilious air that seems inseparable from the first stages of military educa tion. Looking the young lieutenant over for half a moment the old general said with great dignity: "How do you do, Mr. Morrison? I am pleased to-see you." Then, as a flush gradually mounted over his weather-beaten features, he added: "I am always glad to see you young men from the military academy. You you (here the general ended with a roar) you think yourselves so smart!" Kansas City Journal GERMAN MASK INDUSTRY. How Paper and Ga xe Masks Are Made and What 1 hey Coot. Paper masks are made by doubling one sheet of a specially prepared paper, wetting it, and molding it by hand over a face form; it is then dried by artificial heat and cut oft to form, according to the Consular Reports. Openings are cut for eyes, nose and mouth, and it is painted and decorated by hand as de sired. The paper used by Sonneberg manufacturers is made in Oeslau and Schleuslngen and costs at present about 1.40 marks (33 cnts) per 480 sheets. One sheet makes three of the common masks. The painting of cheap masks costs about 50 pfennigs (12 cents) per gross; the molding of face costs about 60 pfennigs (14 cents) per gross. Pack ing is figured at about 3 per cent, as the masks are rolled in brown paper, the ends being folded hi to save string. The expenses are estimated at about 15 per cent, leaving the net profit 20 to 22 per cent, as the complete article sells at present at about 1.80 marks (42.8 cents) per gross. Wire masks are made by stamping a piece of wire netting about one foot square over a face mold in a large machine, inclosing the rough wire edges In a narrow strip of lead and painting. The latter is done by hand in oil colors. Gauze masks are made by molding over a clay face form a doubled piece of cheap linen gauze that has previous ly been soaked In a starchy paste.- The sticky linen is made to adhere to the form, and this is set on a stove and dried for about twenty minutes. The linen is then taken off and openings cut for the eyes, mouth and nostrils. It is painted as desired, and makes one of the most practical masks known. The gauze mask is used considerably In the United States, but the larger portion of them are made therein by machines owned by two firms, one in New York and the other in Findlay, Ohio.
