How many American women in
lonely homes to-day long for this
blessing to come into their lives, and
to be able to utter, these words, but
because of some organic derange
ment this happiness is denied them.

subject should know that prepara

LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S
VEGETABLE COMPOUND
Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West

when Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

to perfect health, but I am now a proud
mother."

The Human Molodeon.
We have all heard of musical chairs,
but have you ever heard of a human
melodeon? To prepare for such a
melodeon for an evening's entertain
tnent, select eight boys or girls who
can remember the notes assigned
them. The player plays on their
heads as they kneel In a row, exactly
as If they were notes of a piano, ex
cept that to the audience the scale
appears reversed. The tunes must be
in the key of C, with no sharps or flats.
As each head is struck with a mallet
made of a ball of soft cotton on the
end of a thin stick, the human note
must sing his note, using the syllable
"la." If his head is struck twice, he
must repeat his note.
"The Last Rose of Summer," begin
ning ou lower C, is a good piece to
play on this odd instrument
Squaring the Puzzle.
?On cardboard draw an equilateral tri
angle, the larger the better. One of
four inch side is a convenient lize.
Then cut it out and divide it by
straight cuts into pieces that when re
arranged will form a square.
Cow That Turned a Faucet.
On the Portland (Ore.) poor farm is
said to be a cow that turned the faucet
of the hydrant in the back yard and
gave herself a drink when she wanted
it As she did not turn the water off
when she had enough, it became neces
sary to put on a different kind of fau
cet, and when bossy came next day
she was puzzled, but she did not have
to go to the river for a drink, for the
matron, who had watched her, had a
watering trough made. Into which a
small stream of cold water ran all the
time.
The Broken Octagon.
Cut out In stiff cardboard four pieces
shaped as Fig. 1. four as Fig. 2 and
four as Fig. 3. taking care that they
are all exactly true In shape and pro
portion to one another.
Now see whether you can put the
twelve pieces together so as to form a
perfect octagon.
Concerning Bells.
Bells are understood to have had
their origin iu China, but at so remote
a time that no precise date can be
given. Their first use was to clear the
air of evil spirits and to drive off the
storms. Old European records tell bow
Nie tolling of bells kept the devils from
assaulting believers; hence their con
nection with churches. Bells may be
traced in Europe back to the sixth cen
tury, but were not generally introduced
Into the western church much before
the eighth century.

Learning Honesty.
In a little town a few years ago
there was a shiftless negro boy
named Ransom Blake, who, after be
ing caught in a number of petty
delinquencies, was at last sentenced
to a short term In the penitentiary,
where he was sent to learn a trade.
On the day of his return home ho
met a friendly white acquaintnee,
who asked:
"Well, what did they put you at
In the prison, Ranse?"
"Dey started in to make an honest
boy out'n me, sah."
"That's good, Ranse, and I hope
they succeeded."

First Dining Car.
'".Tuut forty years ago," said T. C.
Newton, a Chlcaro railroad man,
"the Chicago & Alton Railroad put
on the first dining car ever operated
on any railway train in the world.
This was on the run between Chlca
g( and St. Louis. If that car could
be exhibited now it would create uni
versal merriment. It had oilcloth
table covers, the seats were screwed
to the floor, and its Illumination de
pended on candles. Think of the
contrast between that primitive af
fair of 18C8 and the modern, dining
car finished in solid mahogany, with
gorgeous furniture, and a menu as
elaborate and cookinr as dainty as
that supplied by any of the foremost
hotels of America. Verily, we have
been 'going some' in the four decades
that have gone by since the Alton's
first crude experiment."?Baltimore

Norwegian Wives Half Fare.
Under a new Norwegian railway
regulation, when husband and wife
are traveling together the wife need
only pay half price. The Idea may
Bimply be to encourage family ljf-e,
on the theory that a Norwegian who
normally leaves his wife at home
will be tempted take her along at re
duced r;.tes. It will, of course, be
necessary when taking a husband
and-wife ticket to display one's mar
riage certificate and make an affi
davit that the lady is one's wife, in
order to prevent collusion at the
oooking office between perfect strang
ers.?Kansas City Journal.
A Knotty Question.
In a close-woven rug, like a Kir

eight feet, there are four hundred

labor would be required on such a

Oiiijr the Rabies Have a Better
("li.nce to Survive Now.
In w of all *hat has been said
about the fall in thi death rate it
seens strange to realize, Bays Health
Culture, that we are not living so
long as our grandfathers and grand
mother's did. More babies live to
grow up nowadays than formerly,
but people "in-later-life die younger.
Once arrived to adult age the aver
age man or woman has fewer years
of survival to expect. This seems
on the face of it so surprising a state-'
ment that in order to be accepted it
Bhould be backed up by data authen
t : and indisputable. Such data are
furnished by the figures of the In
surance companies (which all agree
on the point), but it is easier to le
fer to the Government census re
ports, which tell the tale in simple
and convincing fashion. Even in
the last fifteen years the death rate
among all persons over 55 years of
age of both sexes has risen very con
siderably.
Lion9, Tigers and Leopards.
Mr. R. Lydjkker, the English nat
uralist, calls attention to the obser
vations of Mr. R. I. Pocock on the
significance of the spots on lion cubs
as indicating the close relationship
of lions, tigers and leopards. On
lion cubs the pattern of the markings
is Intermediate In character between
the stripes of the tiger and tho
rosettes of the leopard, but inclines
more toward the former. East Afri
can lions retain more or less distinct
traces of these early markings even
when they reach maturity. A dis
tinct tlger-IIke feature of the lion
cub Is a white patch over the eye,
which disappears in the adult. Puma
cubs show a pattern quite unlike
that of the lion, tiger, leopard and

Not All Hawk* Chicken Thieves.
The hawks have aB bad a reputa

called "hen-hawks" by those who are
Ignorant of what they do live on, but
the majority of the hawks do not live
on poultry by any means. A great
many live on insects and mice form a
a large item in their bill of fare.
The sparrow hawk is the one that
is to blame for the hard name given
to his brethren, and It is he who kills
the chickens and hens. When hard
pressed for food other hawks rarely
may carry away a hen or chicken, but
this is the extreme rather than the
average case.?Maine Woods.
Bank of England Notes.
When the Bank of England note
returns to the bank it is never reis
sued. It is cancelled by having the
signature of the chief cashier torn
off. After the signatures are torn
ojf. the notes are pricked off in the
register and sorted into the dates of
issue. They are then placed in
boxes in the vaults where they are
kept for five years, after which they
are burned in a furnace in the court
yard.
Frozen Butterflies.
It Is a common experience among
mountain climbe>e to find butterflies
lying frozen in the snow, and so brit
tle that they break unless they are
very carefully handled. Such froz
en butterflies on being taken to a
warmer climate, recover and ?iy
away. Six species of butterflies
have ueen found within a few hun
dred miles of the North Pole.
Typhoid and Flies.
"Typhoid is an autumnal disease,
appearing most frequently in Octo
ber; and looking back it will be found
that flies were most prevalent at the
time of its Inception." So declared
John B. Huber In an address to the
fcod Investigation committee of the
Chicago Consumers' League.
Value of Salt.
Wissen Feur Alle had a sympos
ium to discuss the value of salt in
digestion. One of the physicians
wrote that, while salt in moderation
is good for the stomach, and often
absolutely necessary, it ought to be
taken apart from the meals in much
the same way as medicine.
