The Genuine vs. Counterfeits. The genuine is always better than a counterfeit, but the truth of this state ment is never more forcibly realized or C more thoroughly appreciated than when you compare the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve with the many coun terfeits and worthless substitutes that are on the market. W. S. Ledbetter of Shreveport, La., says: "After using nu inerous other remedies witheut benefit, one box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me." For blind. bleeding, itching and protruding piles no remedy is equal to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Sold Eby The R. B. Loryea :Drug Store. PIT BROW WOMEN. hard Lot of Female Workers About English Coat Mines. Pit brow women are among the most C_ remarkable women workers in the world. They work as hard as men and dress almost like them. Five thousand of these women find employment in Lnncashire, England, In the coal mins. Their work lies on the pit brow at the surface and not down below. Once wo men were employed in the coalrseaft, but in 1842, in the face of great oppo o sition from colliery owners, an act )vs passed prohibiting women and children from being employed below the surface in coal mines. At present the duties of the pit brow women consist in dealing with the vol as it comes up the shaft to the pit head. When the cargo reaches the'top they haul out the wagons, which contain several hundredweight of coal eqcb, and run them on the rails to a sort'of WE tipping machine. which shoots the coal down below to the screen of the rid dling machine. Among the other du ties of he women is the leveling of the coal on 'he wagons which receive It as it drops from the screen. -- tart work at 6 o'clock in the morning an =,h at 4 In the after noon. They receive -' less a. Eday, and men that do the same w get 4 shillings. Their costume consists of trousers and clogs and often enough a cape which has at one time been worn by a brother. When going to and from work the girls and women wear petticoats, which they roll up around the waist while engaged on the pit brow. The hair is closely cov ered with a handkerchief, on top of which Is a soft bonnet. A Valley of Death In Bolivia. There is a valley in Bolivia, South America, which might well be called E the Valley of the Shadow of Death. It has been inhabited for an indefinite period of years by the Kanaa Indians, who are kindred to the various South Amelrican tribes and number now only a few hundred souls. That they were once a very powerful tribe is indicated by the condition of the land which they as a tribe still inhabit. One can not travel any distance through their C land without coming upon the old and forsaken burial grounds of the Kanaa dead. These places cannot be called graveyards, for the bodies are not buried, but rather placed upon elevat E ed platforms, wrapped in the garments of death and bound to the crossbeams that they may not be displaced. SIn one of these burial grounds there _will be probably fifty high skeleton platforms, and on each will lie from Sthree to five of the Kanaa dead. The air in that part of Bolivia is very pure Sand preservative, for it is one of the highest plateaus of the continent, al though Kanaa valley is just a little Sbelow the plateau's height A traveler Spassing through that land at night and -by moonlight would be awestrickten at the~ gloomy vision those graveyards present. An Affair of Letters. We are mich surprised at meeting little Polly Contosse], formerly of Bow ersville, in England. "Why, Polly!" we say. "How is It we find you here?" "Polly!"- she repeats, with a dignity we never knew she possessed. "Lady Oledebts, If you please." An apolpogy on ,our part establish.es friendly relations once more, and she tells us that she really has won and wedded Lord Oledebts and that her fa ther's dollars are being expended in the refurbishing of the Oledebts castle. "But," we say, "it wyas rumored in 3 Bowersville that you were hesitating in your choice between three honest farmer lads in the vicinity. How was It, then, that you married his lordship?" "Oh" she titters, "he came to Bow id ersville one day. When I saw him I ai dropped my eyes and he began dropping his h's, and it wasn't long until he in ig duced me to drop my j's, and now we 3e are both making papa drop his' v's and ae 's."-,Tudge. 1e Ee Won Her. U- "She has promised to marry you, has she? Did she accept you right bIT?" 1r "Oh, no. I had to propose to her le four times." k. "Four times! Gracious, but you were le persevering! What did she say the first time?" "She said if there wasn't another man in the world but me she wouldn't Smarry me." "That was pretty strong. What did. id sfie say the second time?" 70 "She said she liked me pretty well, cy but she couldn't think of marrying me, ly for she might see some one she liked i1 better." t's "Humph! And the third time?" "The third time she asked mae If I wanted to tease the life out of her." i"Ha, ha, ha! And the fourth~imie?" l "Oh, the fourth time she said if I in El sisted upon It she supposed she' would have to say yes."~ t A Trick In Letter Writing. "If you are compelled to write a let ter in lead pencil because there is no ink in the house blow your breath on ii the page after it has been written," a said a woman who evidently had tried et the experiment "It will prevent blur ring after the letter has been folded. a- It moistens the graphite and makes It . adhere more closely to the paper. Of course you can make It blur by rub - bing it with the tip of the finger, but mfor all practical purposes the words awill be as legible as if they had been l written in ink."-New York Press. A Bad Case. St The cynical man was staring through s. the window at the chesty man swinging down the street "Does Chesty know anything?" asked his companion. "Know anything!" said the cynics] man. "He doesn't even suspect any' thing."-New York Times. Owes His ILife to a Neighbor's Kindness. Mr. D. P. Daugherty, well known throughout Mercer and Sumner coun ties, W. Va., most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neighbor. He was almost hopelessly afflicted with diar rhoea; was attended by two physicians who gave him little, if any, relief, when a neighbor learning of his serious con dition, bought him a bottle of Cham berlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than t wenty-four hours.

Indigestion Causes Catarrh of the Stomach. For many years It has been supposed thai Catarrh of the Stomach caused indlgestio2 and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of indigestion iflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caur, ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juIces of natural digestion. This Ia called Catarrh of the Stomach.
