In Love with Senator Frye I
They arc telling this story at Poland
Spring on Senator Frye. Many years
ago Frye was attorney for a brother of
Sister Aurelia, the Shaker sister?saintly
woman of such sweet and serene life.
SAter Aurelia has never forgotten it
and a friendship has been lifelong be?
tween thc senator and thc Shaker.
The other day Sister Aurelia came over
to Poland Spring for her usual sale in
the hotel office.
One of the first callers was Frye, who
thought to crack a joke in ihe presence
of a few friends on the-blushing sister
of close to three score and ten years.
"Sister Aurelia," said the senator,
"now tell us truly?no joking?were you
ne\cr in love with any mau?''
The sister looked up quickly and with
? pretty twinkle under thc gray bonnet,
laid:
Alt I ever was in love with any man,
it was with Senator Frye."
The laugh went around the company,
.-md pretty soon every one at Poland was
trllirur the storv.

A Story About Shelley, the Poet.
The poet Shelley called one afternoon
upon Mrs. Sonthy and was offered a cup
of tea, which he accepted. Then a plate
of tea cakes was handed him, hut these
he declined.
A slice of bread might have been wel?
come to the Spartan youth, hut hot tea
cakes, heaped up in a scandalous pro?
fusion, blushing with currants, shocked
him. He watched Southy, who was hun?
gry and liked tea cakes, clearing his plate
with evident enjoyment, and at last said:
"Why, Southy, I am ashamed of you!
It is awful to sec such a man as you
greedily devouring this nasty stuff.''
Mrs. Southy listened in angry amaze?
ment.
"What right have you, Mr. Shelley, to
call my tea cakes, which I made myself,
nasty? Yon ought to be ashamed of
yourself!"'
Mr. Shelley immediately took up a
cake and, finding it good, began to eat as
greedily as Southey himself.
Mrs. Southy was pacified and promised
the recipe to the poet, who declared that
he intended to have hot tea cakes every
evenina "forever."

Mrs. Anderson, a prominent society

"?^Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
1 De ak Mus. Pin-mam: ? There aro but few wives and mothers who
have nott*,times endured agonies and such pain as only -women know.
I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any
ever knew and thoroughly reliable.
J* I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma?
nent, who were cured in less than three months after taking your
'io Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable
it cured, happy, and in perfect health.af ter a thorough tveat merit
with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great
benefit. A few doses restores mv strength and appetite, and tones up
the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, henco
I fully endorse it." ?Mrs. li. A. Anderson, 225 Washington St., Jack
Bonville, Fla.
Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says:
"Dkar Mas. Pinkham: ?I feel it my duty
to write and tell you the good I have received
from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com?
pound.
"I have been a great sufferer with female
trouble, trying different doctors and medicines
with no benefit Two years ago I went under
an operation, and it left me in a very weak
condition. I had stomach trouble, backache,
headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very
nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find
yours is the only medicine that reaches
-? such troubles, and would cheerfully rec
I ommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to all suffering women."
When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak?
ness, leu'jorrha-a, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down
feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility,
indigestion, and nervous prostration, thev should remember there is one tried
-inri true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
The experience and testimony of some of the most noted
women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at
once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy
and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs.Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, as thousands do. Her advice is free and helpful.
No other medicine for women in the world has received such wide?
spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a
record ol' cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any .substitute.
FORFEIT it we cannot f?Uhwith produce the original letters an'J signatures of
ubyve testtkluuiaJd, which will prove their absolute seimineneaa.

Levied on the Corpse.
While the dead body of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the playwright, la?
in state in the residence of one of
Ins old friends in Loudon, some of his
old time acquaintances called to taku
j a lai;t look. With them was admitted
j a person in deep mourning, whe
| craved permission to see for the last
time one whom, he said, he had rev
. erently admired. No sooner was th?
I body exposed to view than the mau
; produced a writ and a bailiff's wand
i and said: "I arrest this corpse in the
i king's name for a debt of ?500." Can
nlng and Lord Sidmouth, who were
present, each wrote a check for ?250
before the fellow would consent to ro
lease the corpse fruin pawn.

1. Strong drink causes poverty (vs. 1,
20, 21). 1. "A mocker." Rather, a scorn?
er. The thing is personified in its victim.
The scorners appear as a class of defiant
-free thinkers in contrast to the "wisc."
They are proud, self-sufficient, and have a
contemptuous disregard for God and man
(Prov. 21: 24). lt is imporsible to reform
them, for they hate reproof nnd will not
seek instruction (13: 1; 15: 12). If they
seek for wisdom they will uot (md it (14:
6). It is follv to argue with them (9: 7, 8).
Thev are generally detested (24: 9), and in
the'interests of peace must be banished
from society (22: 10). Divine judgments
are in store for them, and their fate is a
warning to the simple (3: 34). "Is de?
ceived?erreth." "Keeleth." "Not wise.
It is the height of folly for a man to de?
grade himself by using strong drink.
20, 21. ?'Wiiiebibbers.'' Much of this
chapter is spent in giving directions con- j
cerning eating, drinking and entertain?
ments in general. Thc reasons for giving
these directions were. 1. The danger of
contracting irregular habits and of being
induced to lead a voluptuous and effemin?
ate life. 2. The danger from bad company.
3. The waste of money and time. "Glut?
tonous eaters." Luting more than is neces?
sary. "Drowsiness." Which comes as a
result of excess and gluttony. "With rags."
Such a course will not only bring poverty
and lags, which it is sure to do. but will
unfit a person for work, so that ne cannot
be trusted, nnd he will be no longer caps*
hie of providing for himself and for those
who may be dependent noon him.
IL [Strong drink destroys happiness (vs.
29. 30). 29. "Who." A divine commission
to every man to investigate the prevailing
cause of woe and strife, and thus be de?
terred from taking thc wrong course in
life. Robinson calls this lesson the drunk?
ard's looking glnss, set before those whose
face is toward tho drunkard's habits, so
that they may see what they will be if tiny
go on. "Hath woe." What space would be
needed to record the names of all who
could truthfully say "J'' to this question!
"Who hath sorrow.-' The Hebrew mean*.
first, poverty then misery. The drunkard
has sorrow of his own'nmking. "The cup
contains more than one woe; a single sor?
row is not all. These me so numerous BS
to call foi th a constant and long continued
cry of anguish." "Who hath contention*."'
rheas who responded to the first two
questions will also respond to this. Nine
tenths of all the brawls and fights, quar?
rels and misunderstandings are traceable
to drink. "Who hath babbling." This re?
fers to thc tendency of strong drink to
foolish and incessant talking, revealing se?
crets, vile conversation and noisy demon?
strations, which are common in different
.stages of drunkenness. "Wounds without
cause." Wounds received in wholly un?
profitable disputes, <aich as come of the
brawls of drunken men. Drinkers arc es?
pecially exposed to accidents and diseases
which temperance would have prevented.
"Redness of eye<.'' Bloodshot, blurred Ol
bleared eyes. 'Hie traveler in the drunk?
ard's broad road to death bears a great
bundle of woes. Among them are losses of
time, of talent, of purity, of a clean con
ecience, of self-respect, of honor, of relig?
ion, of the soul.
30. ??They thai larry long." This an?
swers the above questions. He who begins
to drink continues to drink, tarrying often
a whole night, and from that to day and
night. "They that go." To places or
among people where intoxicating drink*
nre made or stored or need. "Mixed wine."
Spiced, drugged, medicated wine, the in?
toxicating power of ?which is increased hy.
the infusion of drugs and spices. Bach
men drink the cup of a costly death.
III. Strong drink ruins character (va,
31-35). 31. "Look nor." This prohibit!
moderate drinking. Do not put yourself iu
the way of temptation. He who goes in cly
into temptation i> already more than half
fallen. "When it i-; red." The bright'
color of the wine gives it an attractive look
and adds to its fascination and its danger.
"Its color." Literally, its eye. thc clear
brightness, or the beaded bubbles, on
which the wine-drinker looks with pleas
ore. "Whan it goeth down smoothly."
This verse pictures the attractive side of
>vine, when it seems perfectly harmless to
sip a little, when it is bright and inspiring,
thrilling the nerves with delight, promising
nil joy nnd freedom, it is the shining side
sf evil that is so dangerous.
32. "Af last it biieth." The pleasure
will be attended st last with intolerable
pain*?, when it works like so mach poison
in thy veins nnd casts thee into disease*
as hard to cure ss thc biting ol' a serpent.
Its effects nre opposite to its pleasures. lt<
only beauty is when it sparkles in the cuni
Jt can only hann the one who ventures to
enjoy its pleasure. Then it bites; send- ir-s
poison beyond your reach. Its only end
nnd purpose is ruin. Its sting is the sting
bf death.
i 33. "Eyes shall behold." Thc lorine.
wife will be forgotten and her gondue=- de?
spised*, nnd evil desires spring np io till her
place with others, or to go From lau* with
j others who hare fallen into ths same pit i ?'
j drunkenness. Homes av-- broken up. The
j tears and pleadings oi the devoted K*iie are
! spurned, and thc dance hall '? nought,
! where women ure dressed lo suit the eves
i of wicked men. where naturi I affection is
: overthrown and cruel lust rules. "Titer
1 perverse things.-' When men or women
1 indulge in the use of strong drink they let
| down thc bars to every sin that follow-; in
: the train.
34. "In the midst of the sea." To make
one's bed on the wares of the sea Mould be
to be swallowed up in death. So i- the
drunken man. Or as u pilot who hus gone
to sleep when his ship was in the troughs
of the sta, allowing the tiller to slip out
of his baud, and his ship to be swamped
with the waves which he might have out
iidden. "lop of a mast." The drunkard
is utterly regardless of life. He ij as ono
falling asleep, clamping the masthead,
whence in n few minutes lie must cither
fall down upon the deck and be dashed in
pieces, or fall into the sea nnd be drowned.
35. "1 was not hurt." With consciences
seared and self-respect gone the drunkard
boasts of the things which should make
him blush with shame. Because he did not
feel the hurt of his wounds he cares hot
for the sears. "I felt it not." Angry com..
ianions have done their worst to end my
life, says he, but their blows did not affect,
me. "When shall I awake? I will seek it
again." Rather, when i shall awake I will
(seek it again. Self-control is ali gone. The
drunkard is a slave to appetite. He is as
insensible to thc pleadings and warnings
iif thoscwho seek his salvation ns he is to
the beatings of his comrades when he ia de

Imported Precious Stonei.
The value of jewels and precious
stones imported into the United States
is often said to be the best barometer
of the country's prosperity. If this be
admitted one must acknowledge that the
fiscal year which ended with the first
halt of 1903 was the most prosperous in
the history of the country, for the value I
of thc precious stones imported during
that period was far in excess of any?
thing previously recorded. According to
the compilation of thc government of?
ficials which has just been completed,
diamonds and other precious stones of
a value exceeding thirty million dollars
were brought into the United States be?
tween June 30, 1902. and June 30, 1903,
and even this enormous total is prob?
ably below thc actual value, for figures
are taken from the invoices of the im?
porters, who arc not likely to overvalue
packages on which they must pay a high
import duty.
Harvels of Radio-Activlty.
Thc interest in the strange property
possessed conspicuously hy such sub?
stances as uranium, thorium and radium
of giving off spontaneously radiations
that penetrate solid bodies and efTect
photographic plate is kept at a high
pitch by frequent new observations and
discoveries. Professor E. Rutherford,
of Mcdill University, has enumerated
three distinct types of radiation emanat?
ing from the substances in question. The
first he calls the alpha rays, which con?
sist of flights of material particles carry?
ing a positive electric charge and having
a very high velocity; the second are the
beta rays, apparently the same as the
cathode rays of ordinary vacuum tubes,
but traveling falter; and the third the
gamma rays, which are very similar to
X-rays. In addition, some of the sub?
stances, as thorium, give off a fourth
emanation, which appears to be matter
in the gaseous state and can be carried
along by air streams.
Tho Tallest People.
In a comparative table of stature, ar?
ranged according to nationalities, thc
United States Indian stands higher than
any other race of thc world, though thc
Patagonian runs him very close. The
white citizen comes next. The United
States negro ranks fourteenth in thc
scale, and of all the countries of the
world considered, the Portuguese are
found to be the shortest. It has always
been proverbial among anatomists that
blond nations are greater than their
darker neighbors. This is due to thc
geological position of the blond races.
They are characteristic of the North, and
nn account of the lower degree of tem?
perature are induced to take more exer?
cise, which throws them more in thc
open air. At the top of the list of coun?
tries, arranged in order of stature, thc
first seven after thc United States white
men are Norway, Scotland, British
America, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark and
