NATURE UND A WOMAN'S WORK Nature and a woman's work com bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world lias ever known. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs cz the lield to cure disease and mitigate suffering. -The Indians on our "Western Plains to-day can produce roots alid herbs for every ailment, an'd cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who halve spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkliam more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., LouLsiaua, Mo., writes: , " Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. ' "For twelve years I had been suffer ing' with the worst forms of ferrale ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help: Iso tongue can tell what I suffered, and nt times 1 could hardly walk. About'two years ago I wrote Mrs. Ptukha'm for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." . - What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did fqrS^Irs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women.'

A practical and very useful de vice Is a meat holder, the- Invention of a Texas man. Almost everybody Is more or less familiar with tha difficulties attending the carving of a ham or other large piece of meat. The object of the meat holder shown in the illustration is to overcome, these difficulties and render (he car* vlng an easy ma?ter. The base con sists of a wooden platter, which can 1 HOLDS MEAT FIRMLY. be readily washed. It is made large enough to accomodate au ordinary ham. Along two opposite sides are shafts on whlcb are secured a num ber of pointed clamps. The latter are operated by means of a lever at the end of one of the shafts. After the piece of meat has been placed on the platter the holders are tightly clamped.in position. The carver is thus able to use both hands freely and cut the meat to best advantage. Kassian Students. Nowhere Is the university and no-* where the students held in such high esteem as in Russin. For the aver age educated Russian a university professor is not merely a scholar who teaches chemistry or mathematics or law to a number of young men. This is all very well for a teacher in a lyceum, but much more Is expected of a professor. The latter, if he keeps true to the good old traditions, must be an en thusiast and a philosopher In his subject. He must possess a spark of, the dlviue lire, so as to be able to inspire his students with the wor ship of science and truth: and, above all, he must be a man of ad vanced thought?one of those who make history, and not one of those who let themselves be dragged along by historical events. As to the student, he too must not. merely be a young man who studies certain matters In order to become In due time a doctor or a lawyer, so as to ge: ea: nings *jo much higher than those of an arti sau. This might do for the meu whose one aim is to make a success ful "career," and of whom of course, there are o number in each univer sity, but the true student must be a worshipper of science and art?a seeker of truth, one of those whom the great philosophical questions of human understanding interest and perplex more than the miserable, petty questions concerning personal welfare, and one who has come to the university to And there a reply to these questions?Windsor Maga zine. An Extinct Trade. The leeches' like hairless black caterpillars, clung to slim reeds that protruded above the water in tha aquarium. They were torpid, as though hyp noticed, but when the dealer put one on his finger it fell to work as busily as a Barataria mosquito, it could be aeeu swelling and flushing. "That'll do, you little rascal." And the dealer removed the leech hurriedly, then sighed. ' Mine is an extinct trade," he said "like that of the armorer or the sundial maker, and I can't make a living out of It any more. But in the past?why, groat Scott, In the past, leeches were so much used by doctors that a doctor used no b? called a leech. "I used to sell to onn hospital Id this town 50,000 leeches a year. That hospital now takes fifty or'sixty yearly. I had or. my books 200 do'c tors, each of whom I supplied reg ularly every morning with a dov-eu leeches.

A man who had often seen on th? side of a building that he passes lq his rounds down town a sign reading "Cement Coatel Nails," and who had wondered what cement coated nails could be used for and made 'up his mind that they must be for use in wharf building or something liko that, under water, where the cement on them would protect them against rust, learnel upon inquiry that the cement on the nails did indeed have a protective purpose; -but this pur pose turned out to be one quite diff erent from that which he had Im agined, says the New York Sun. Eor the coating on cement coated nails Is designed not to protect tho nails themselves, but the goods In the boxes In which the nails may bn driven; and this in a manner that to the man of inquiring mind seemed quite novel and remarkable. The cement coated nail is a wire nail. In these days there are more wire nails used than cut nails, be cause wire nail3 are cheaper; they cost about the same by weight, but there are more wire nails to* the pound, and so wire nails have come into wide-apreal common use for many purposes, one of them being found in the nailing together o* many sorts of boxes. A wire nail can be drawu more easily than a cut nail and bo with less likelihood of injury to the box, and this might seem only another recommendation of tho wire nail lu such use, as it reasonably might be if on); of the chief considerations were the preservation of the box; but the primary consideration is, of course, the' protection of the box's contents, and .here is where the ce ment coated nail comes In, and in the manner that seemed novel and remarkable. With time and the opportunity tho cover of a light box wire nailed could be lifted and replaced and the nails redriven without showing any marks on the box, and 'thus there was the possibility of the abstraction of goods from such boxes in tran slt. For Instance, a pair of shoes might be taken out of a shoe case, and the coyer put back without showing any .signs of tampering. And with this requirement for it along comes the Inventor of the ce ment coated nail, which Is simply a wire nail covered with a very thin coating of material ihat makes the nail, once driven, stick so tightly that not only does it hold more securely but it can't be drawn with out marring or breaking the box. .Meat Tenderer and Cleaver. With the aid of an implement de vised by a New .Jersey man iL now becomes possible for the butcher to chop the meat and at the same lime add to its tehdernens by pounding with a combined cleaver and meat tenderer. 'The cleaver, as shown In the illustration below, is similar to those commonly used. On one cor ner, opposite to the blade, a series of teeth are arranged at an angle. These toeth are used in tendering MEAT TENDERER AND ('LEAVER the meat. The advantage of placing the teeth at au angl? will b? obvious. If they wer?? placed parallel with the upper edg? of the cleaver lr would he impossible to man ulpu late the teudercd without knocking the hand on thH table. By placing the teeth at an angle the handle is re moved from the table when either the blade or teeth are being used, preventing injury to the hand. Rivals in TelogravwY.

If you can't kill bugs with stick? flypaper or poisonous powders, try electricity. This electrocution of in sects la the recommendation of a New York man, and has been offi cially approved by societies to pre vent cruelty to animals. He has in ELECTROCUTES FLIES, vented a contrivance entirely effi cient for Ulla purpose, which is sim ple and durable, with no complicated mechanism to get out of order. As shown in the accompanying illuntra tion, the invention embodies a grid or screen of parallel wires alternate ly postive and negative and charged with electricity. A fly alighting on th z'oi or attempting to walk upon and touching the adjacent wires will be. electrocued as It were, and fall dead from the trap. The device Is composed of two bars of wood, be tween which extend strips of brass. Live wires connect with a source of elect rlcley of sufficient power to effect the electrocution of insects. Th common house fly Is readily at tracted to anything bright or shiny, avoiding dark and dull objects. Hence it may be found advisable to place the traps near a window. Old-Time Smokers. All hough the present universal habit of smoking Is of comparatively recent date, t?h* use of tobacco was carried ou to a great excess when ii was first Introduced. The old time citizens smoked even In church. All such offenders were solemnly ex j communicated "by Urban VIII. in j ] i '4 an again by InnocentXII. in .1690, when the practice seems to I have extended to Rome Itself. There was William Breedonft too, vicar of Thornton. England, "a profound divine and absolutely the most po lite person for nativities in that age," of whom the astrologer Lilly says that 'when he had no tobacco he would cut the bell ropes and smoke them.'.' Prohibitions of the custom were frequent. "Item, you shall not utter," enjoins an alehouse licence of the time of James I., "nor willingly suffer to be uttered, drunke or taken, any tobacco within your house, cellar or other place there unto belonging." The mien of Chigwell school (1 629) provided that lb* master must be "no puffer of tobacco" and Charles II. sent a letter to the Uni versity of Cambridge forbidding the members to wear periwigs, smoke tobacco or read their sermons. A writer has recorded a visit to an Essex church about 1830, on which he saw not only pipes stowed away In various nookt ready lor use on the following Sunday, but also spit toons in many of the pews. j Carrying Out Death rienteneea.
