It quickly calls attention to trouble by aching. It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S Notice.

Mrs. Will Young,/qf 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me., says: " I was troubled for a loug time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I re;< J what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had done for others and decided to tr\' it; after takiug three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. ?Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. L\-dia E.

Famous Signatures "Which Show Strange Lines When Folded, Nobody can deny that a person's character leaves innumerable frrle trr.h'.? trrtres cf it;: ?.vjrkihia u..oq the oo.ly, the face, the dress, and ad material surroundings. One need not be a Sherlock Holmes to divine, ?upon entering a man's room and find ?Ing pictures of chorus girl's arranged along the walls, that the occupant has no prejudice against the theatre; nor is any very deep insight neces sary to discover, when all ths chairs in the living room are arranged in mathematical order and nothing is ever out of place, that there are not several small boys in the household. Whether these small indications of character can be classified scientifi cally?whether the lines of the hand, the bumps on the head, the form and relationship of the features can be so studied as to afford a definite and true indication of the owner's char acter is a question in which every oody is more or less interested. The illustrations herewith repro duced represent a new cult of char acter-study?what may* be^ cal'od spirit autographs. How far these weird little figures reveal the truth about the spirits who traced their skeltonlike out lines time and study may show. There is really no reason to suppose that every trait in the c h a r a cler, every motion of the heart, every thought of the mind does not some how register itself in a corporeal form. A well-known Washington cartoon ist once advanced the theory that the two sides of a man's face revealed his public and private character re spectively. Placing a card over one side of the face of a well-known pol itician, he proceeded to prove his theory thus: "Here, you see, is a half-closed, crafty, watchful eye, a determined mouth, a firm jaw?that's what this man is in Congressional debate. Now look at the other &!de. The eye opens frankly, the mouth almost Emiles, the whole expression is that of decision tempered by geniality and good humor. That's what he Is in the bosom of his family." In his recent novel, "The Heart Line,". Mr. Gelett Burgess makes his hero, a palmist, say: "Everything that is distinctive must be significant, if only we have the power of interpreting it.' In some way or other we are all students of physiognomy. We all ha-re our likes and dislikes, based on ^ some physical pecul iarity. One man will not trust a person whose eyes are very near together; an other has no faith in a pointed chin; an other objects to stooping shoulders. Generally speaking. however, we no j4 ff sooner make up /pf, _ our . minds that ^ JaAs+C<Jt&' a certain lo gical attribute goes with i. certain char acter than we find excep tions to the rule, q The old adage about red-haired, people having bad tempers may owe its force to the Vfact that a child continual ly tormented about red hair would be likely to be rather hot tempered in any event. The truth is that every human trait has its good side and its bad side. The French recognize this in saying that a man has "the defects of his vir tues." Your masterful man who can lead men to victory in an emergency may De a tyrant in ordi s?s y nar-v lif*- Some <sr c?*=n-?'<? ? p h y siogomists think that a arrow th eyebrows sloping upward from the nose, indicates fanaticism, or the.ca pacity to devote the whole energy to an abstract idea. Clearly, the pos sessor of that sort of face may be come a martyr In the cause of relig ion, or a half-crazy assassin, accord ing to the possession of other ele ments in his nature which direct his energies rightly or wrongly. Astrology is another of the alleged sciences which deal with the relation between the spiritual and the mate-, rial. Each sign is supposed to give the person born under it certain general characteristics, which are ! modified more or less by the influ ence of the various planets. Presi dent Roosevelt for example was born under the sign of Scorpio, which is the most dynamic of all influences, and the position of the various planets was such as to indicate extra ordinary political activity. It would seem, therefore, that the expression "Roosevelt luck" is more Uiuu a jest. There are people who read charac ter in the way a person wears out shoes. There is an old rhyme about this: "Wear at the toe, spend ;:s you go.

Our bitterest necessity may be but love driving us to our largest pros perity. innumerable. Certain definite In ferences may be securely drawn '.Vhen you get a letter addressed Id a neat, clear, graceful feminine band, it is safe to say the writer is a woman who writes a good deal but does nrt grow careless :n the delays uf her affairs. It Is not hard to dis tinguish the rugged individual signa ture of the business man who rare ly writes anything but his name from the scraw] of the professional scrib bler, or the neat hand of the clerk. The new art of spirit au tography, of which exam ples are here shown, is akin to the science of in terpreting the autograph. For the benefit of those who may wish to practice this art?which needs neither complicated appar atus or long study?it may be explained that any one can do it with a sheet of smooth paper, ?a rather coarse pen, and ink which flows freely. For complete and swfft success with the spirit autograph, sit down at your desk In a calm and untroubled frame of mind and fold the sheet of pa per once. Then open it again,* write your name quickly upon the line made by the fold, double the pa per and hold it for a min tite. When it is opened the spirit autograph will appear. The Jokes of the Sea. The rays and skates are the jokes of the sea. Their bodies are as flat as the pancakes made by the man in white on a gridddle in the window of a "beet'-and" restaurant. Their eyes look upward and they have tails; as slender and tapering as a whip of a ringmaster of a circus. In the United States the most common rays are called "skates." The whip-tailed rays, becausj of SPOTTED STING-RAY. their long, slender tails with their erectile spines at the end, capable of Inflicting . severe and dangerous wounds, are frequently called sting rays. The common sting-ray feeds on oysters, clams and other valuable mollusks and in the Atlantic waters Is known as the "clam-cracker." Of the skates, the commonest as well as the smallest specL's on the Atlantic coast is known as the to bacco-box; the largest is aptly called the barn-door. On the Western coast of the United States is found the big skate, whieh reaches a length or six feet, two feet larger than its Eastern relatives. ? COMMON SKATE. Because of its habit of rolling it self up when caught '..he common skate has been called "bonnet skate." It is also known as the "hedgehog ray." On the New Jersey coast the trawl fishermen cut off the broad, fleshy "wings,' and they are sold for "sad dles," sometimes bringing five and even ten cents a pound. These men call the fish "possum," "sea pos sum," and "bob-tailed skate." As a rule anglers throw the fish back into the water as being of no value. A Valuable Invention. An Industrial novelty of excep tional interest is a new substance, "cehite"?so named by its inventor. Dr. A. Elchengrun Elberfeld, who described It in a recent lecture de livered before a scientific ascocia tioii at D?sseldorf. While resem bling celluloid in some respects, it Is di tinguished in being non-combusti ble. Moreover, it is available not only for the manufacture of hard finished, articles of all descriptions, but for elastic utensils. In all eases the things made of cellite are tf :in-.-j;3rent as glass, not breakable, and not affected by water. The in ventor Is convinced that ddlite will be substituted in many cases for glass, gelatine, celluloid, leather, and rubber. First, however, means must be found for reducing its cost. In Afghanistan. The primitive "eye for an eye" cede would still .seem to be in force in Afghanistan, where the Amir threatens to tear out the tongue cf every one of his subjects who shall preach war against India, and cut off the f<?et of every on ? wh i shall cross thv frontier. Trust promoters in Afghanistan are probably strangled. The women oC Bermuda, eating onions plentifully, have the finest complexions in the world. Northwest Australia develops very elowly.

Dr. Curebody, th<? family physi cian in order to maintain wholesome j a.r in .Eiccyihg looms, laid in a j large stock of thermometers. Ther-e j be distributed among the patients in tliost households whtre he consid ered they were most reqa'rcd. He took particular pains to point out to e"ch family in turn just hew the thermometer would invcate the proper decree of tempe.ature. "It is -so simple," he informed good Mrs. Robinson, "that a child could understand it." Two days later he called again at Mrs. Rohinson's house and observed his thermoiseter proudly upon the wall, hanging upon the end of a string. "Well, ma'am," inquired Dr. Cure body, "have you followeo. my in structions?" ."Yes, sir," answe-ed the worthy dame. "I'm very careful about that 'ere temperature. I watch the thing all days long it hangs there, just to see if all is going well." "And what do you do when the temperature rises above ' sixty eight," asked the doctor. "Why, sir," answered Mrs. Rob inson with perfect sell-assurance. "I take it down and put it outside till it cools off a bit!"?World's Wit. WHAT'S IN A NAME.

Slocum-on-the-Podge v/as looking up. The mayor was a clever person, vho won limericks and things, and some of his talents he turned to the enlightenment of his fellow townsmen. His first Berlous efort in this di rection was a lecture on the ser., this subject being chosen probably because Slocum is an inland tow-*., and it is highly unlikely-that more than one per cent of its population will ever have anything to do with the briny?except e-tlng fish. "The?-e are depths in the sea," de clare 1 the mayor, "where the loft iest mountain ranges could easily be hidden from view!" Up rose the local wit. "May I ask a question?" he haz arded respectfully. "As many ?s you like," Bald the mayor, for he felt that he knew his subject. "One will do," repl'ed the wit. "How will you irove the mountain ranges?" The cate of th* next lecture has not been definitely fixei.?Birm ingham World. , The Chilly Congressman. There is a member of the House or Representatives, whose manner is so habitually frigid that it has been declared to give one a cold to shake hands with him. One day Hemenway of Iowa ob served to "Uncle Joe" Cannon that he thought the man under discus sion was certainly a "cold proposi tion." "Yes," assented Cannon. "Why, I understand that it's the custom in his town when you give that chap a dinner party to ice the claret to keep It at the same temperature as tha dining room." Diplomacy. "T always endeavor," said the matrimonial philosopher, "to take the wrong side of an inconsequental argument." "With what object in view?" he was naturally asked. "It gives my wife a chance fo prove me wrong, and this so de lights her that I find her generous ly tractable in all the more im portant matters."?Chi. dgo Post. Blame the Make-Up Man.
