rt • ... • # A HEALTHY OLD AGE % - OFTENTHE BEST PARTOFLIFE Help for Women Passing Through Change of Life Providence has allotted us each at least seventy years in which to fulfill our mission in life, and it is generally our own fault if we die prematurely. Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth When everything becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blocks with out excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear to be crossed in any thing, you are in danger; your nerves have given out; you need building up at once ! To build up woman's nerv ous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. i’inkham’s Veg etable Compound. Here is an illus tration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne. 371 Garfield Avenue. Chicago. 111., writes: “ I have used Lydia E. I’inkham’sVegetable Compound for years in my family and it never disappoints; so when I felt that I was nearing t he change of life I commenced treat ment with it. I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped my dizzy spells, pains in my back and the headaches with which I had suffered for months lief ore taking the Compound. I feel that if it had not been for this great medicine for women that I should not have l>een alive to-day. It is splendid for women.old or young, and will surely cure all female disorders.” Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn.

MAORI HOSPITALITY. Strcn noun Welcome Kxteiiiled to n I’lirty of Trnveloi-*. A traveler in New Zealand tells of n native welcome. Ills party drew near to the central home of the tribe of Maoris. “As wo rested beneath tiie parapets we were startled by a horri ble yell, ami round the corner of the | stockade appeared a ferocious figure, | tattooed, red painted, be feathered and ! naked, except for a very brief waist | fringe of dangling palm liber. His j eyes rolled till the whites only we re seen; then he thrust out a long and \ snaky tongue and grimaced fearfully. Shaking a wooden spear in his baud. ! he swiftly cast it at us, then turned and rushed toward the village. Just as the spearsman turned one of our i young men who had rapidly divested himself of all but his waist shawl > darted out in pursuit, and we followed at a more di :ui!iod pace. The entrance J to the village was barred by a body of armed men, crouching still as death. | on one knee, each holding a gun. butt en the ground, barrel sloping toward us. Wo ailvaneed until we were with in twenty paces of the warriors. Then all at once, at a wild cry from a chief on the right, tiny jumped to their feet. ; leaped high in the air. with their feet : doubled under them like deer, and with one voice literally barked out a thun- | deriug cborus. ’'his way and that our i martial ho 1 !- bounded, brandishing | their loaded rifles in time to the chant, j Halting abruptly, with an earth shak ing thud, they lired a volley of ball cartridge over our heads. “Another volley reverberated from j hill to hill and tin- bullets whistled over j us. Then the brown warriors fell back | and it gayly dressed band of women, with green leaves wreathed about tin ir shawls and leafy ZULU WAR TAG TICS. pr i rcnceut with a gliding semi brows and wavin boughs, advanced dance and chanted their ancient wel-! come song. When the women's song | ceased out to the front danced six girls | —a group of vividly barbaric, yet not inharmonious, e d ir—appareled in loose) crimson roundabouts and short gowns ! of gorgeously llowered print, their | brows bound about with red handker-1 chiefs, which. Imkl in place the black j and white plumes of tin* rare huia bird and the iridescent feathers of the long ; tailed cuckoo, their cheeks dabbed with | j red ocher paint, greenstone pendants] and shark’s teeth hanging from their ears. “These barefooted nymphs, hands on, hips and heads thrown back, glided) into the measure of a dance to the! music of a shrill monody chanted by i a white haired, tattooed old lady. Then ! all at once the chant ended on an un-i expected high note and the performers' stopped, breathless and glowing all | over with their self evolved emotions. ; Broad flax mats were spread out for , us on the green and after speeches of; greeting we were regaled with pork, | preserved birds, wild honey and pota-1 toes, in quantity sufficient to have sat isfied a starving garrison.”—Chicago News. Mclliml of Atln-k VVItli Hm* I iirma• ion. Zulu ini! tary tactics are associated with the nati.c of Tyaka, the ruthless Zulu euiqiieror. who welded into tin* P>ek' of the Aimtrulu. tin* pe iple of the L; a veils, ail tin* young nieii of the va rious tribes he conquerc I. incorporat ing them into regiments and thus building up a powerful military na tion. Vet it wits to Dingisiwtiyo, the wanderer, that tin* inception was due. This man, the son of the chief of the I'nitetwa, was driven into exile in con sequence of an abortive plot to seize the reins of power. During that exile he lived in Cape Colony and saw the military methods of the British. Witli instinctive genius he saw how the idea could be adapted to his own nation, and on bis return and accession to the chieftainship he divided his people int* regiments, dis tinguishing them by names and by a special color of shield for each regi j it. though for a time they retained ' ■ mnkomto, or throwing assagai, as i :• chief weapon. He heard the ' : e made by the British infantry 1 favorite weapon, tin? bayonet, i .1 so 1m replaced the mnkomto by the 1 i..\va. or broad bladed stabbing assa- i gai. The peculiarity of the Zulu tactics ] has earned it the name of the crescent [ formation for attack, and it is note- | worthy that, broadly speaking, it was | the method employed by the Boers in their invasion of Natal and adopted by Lord Roberts in his advance through Orange River Colony, and it was the fear of U-s success which kept the Boers continually on the run. The best Uting with which to compare it is tin* head of the stag headed beetle. Horns are thrown out. widely on either flank, while the main body forms the head itself. From the main body a small i force is detached to engage the enemy while the horns creep around .in* : flanks. This force in the days of Tyaka was | frequently lyspatehed with the com mand, “Co, sons of Zulu, go and re turn no more,’’ and death at the hands of their fellows was the fate of those who returned. While this force was j holding the enemy tin* horns carried out their task if possible, and as soon as the two horns had met In the rear of the enemy the head or chest was i launched upon the position, and the upshot was that the whole force of the foe tasted the assagai, for in war no quarter was given or asked.—South African Sun. Quality Did The fact that SCHNAPPS is so widely imitated only prove s that it is the beet chew—the standard fiat plug. 0 the pi: • ‘ s csz made to imitate the size and shape and ' :lor of SCI- JNAPPS --other are made to look like SCHNA PPS tags—yet b are mo*e pounds of SCHNAPPS chewed annually than, ail ether similar tobaccos. SCHNAPPS is made of only choice selections of well matured, thoroughly cured leaf, and in factories as clean aa the cleanest kitchen, situated in the very heart of the greatest chewing tobacco growing country, by men of life-long experience in tobacco manu facturing, and who have directed the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company since 1375. SCHNAPPS has the pleasing, appetizing aroma which created and popularized the fondness for chewing. Expert tests prove that it requires and hikes a smaller amount of sweetening than any other kind—and has a wholesome, aumulating and satisfying effect on cbewers. Internal revenue statistics show that SCHNAPPS and other of the Reynolds brands won enough cbewers in one fiscal year to make a net gain of six and a quarter million pounds, or one-third of the entire increased consumption in the United States on chewing and smoking tobacco.

Tnakn by tlie * -re Kihlbiltol nt tbe Hit; 1.colon Dncka. One of th : sights of London is the great ivory floor nt the London docks, where previous to and during the pe riodical sales ivory may be seen liter ally bjr tin* acre, for the tusks are laid out in lots on the l?»or of one of the great warehouses for inspection by in tending purchasers. For weeks previ ous to the actual sale the special staff of the ivory department has been busy preparing the various consignments and arranging them according to tin* Blzes and quality and classing them Into the various grades, each of which has some particular use for which it is especially adapted. There is practically no waste in the manufacturing of articles from ivory. The smallest chip is not thrown away, but carefully preserved to In* utilized for some purpose. Even the shavings from the turning down of a billiard ball have a market value for use in in laid work. Consequently tin* lots in an ivory sale by no means consist of tusks and sections of tusks alone, but include ihe residue f rom many previous sales. Buyers purchase the particular class that they require for their own individual industry and subsequently return what in most other materials would be waste to lie resold to manu facturers of a different class of goods. Though there is "no waste.” oddly enough the most important considera tion. from a buyer’s point <>f view, is “how much waste” will a certain lor produce in tin* course of transforming it into his own particular line. Tims a lot that would be dear to one would be a gift to another, and vice versa. The most valuable class of ivory is that suitable for making billiard balls. To conform to the requirements the tusk must be perfectly sound and solid, without the slightest suspicion of a crack or flaw, and. moreover, they must measure only a trifle more than the regulation size billiard ball or they will cut to waste, from Hie manu facturers’ point of *4f*w. On the arriv al of a consignment of unworked ele phant Ivory from abroad tbe first prep aration for the sale door consists of u thorough cleaning of the interior or hollow part of-the tusk. This Is done I by means of wads attached to long sticks. The exact letigth of the hollow ! is thereby revealed, and In addition cracks and flaws that cannot be ob served on the exterior are at times dis closed. Soundness Is the one thing that sways every class of buyer; flaws mean waste; waste means resale at a lower figure per pound. INDIANS LEARNING TO LAUGH Are Developing; Keen SeriMe of lln- nior, Sn) » llend of n Itiiz School. “Indians have just as keen a sense of humor hh white men and can appre ciate a joke quite as thoroughly,” de clares Professor \V. S. Campbell, su perintendent of a big Indian school at Pipestone, Minn. Professor Campbell has been visiting his brother, Dr. O. B. Campbell of Cleveland, en route from Washington, where be has been making reports to the Indian department, to his home In Pipestone, says a Cleveland special dis patch to the St. Louis Republic. He tnlks Interestingly about bis school, which is a large one and operated after the nature of the Indian schopi at Car lisle. There are 2110 pupils and over a score of instructors. "In another generation the Indian, us such, will have passed away.” declared Professor Campbell. “Then the govern ment will not need to keep up schools for his benefit. He is rapidly assimilat- i ing American ideas, and In another generation it will be impossible to dis- ! tinguish him from the white man. “It Is all nonsense to say that an In- | dlan has no idea of humor. In the dis- i trict in which I am working now par ticularly the Indians take particular j enjoyment in funny remarks and ap plaud liberally when anything strikes their risibilities. They are keen to comprehend tiie odd side of anything j and in that respect are becoming more like Americans every day, though unt- ; urally they are of a serious turn of mind. “Our students are bright. They put an enthusiasm into their w’ork which j is remarkable. All of our students are nonresidents, but many have attended the Indian schools near their homes. It Is remarkable how rapidly the In dians pick up the English language. I ! have seen Indians who have entered our school unable to speak a word of English graduate in throe or four years, speaking almost perfect Eng lish. 1 presume this Is due to the in terest they take in each other. They help the new student to master Intrica cies which would otherwise puzzle and annoy. “Upon leaving tlie school many of the Indians take up agricultural pur suits, though some enter the trades or professions. It Is not a fact In Minne sota that tl»e Indians are dying off rapidly from consumption. They seem to have become accustomed to the new way of living and do not long for the tents, as their fathers did. There will be no more Indians In another genera tion. They will all be Americans.” . :ig in- f.o: .or - a little curl on his fore- .d n Mr. E ...son repeated ._ t a little girl with a .i right in the middle of her v York senator thought < .>«■;• • *. the remark was made n i Mr. Edison had to apolo- • E yi urn's Reminiscences of ;• in Washington Rost. n really a ' was the :r;tl on < 4 An Infallible S.£n.
