I Maine to California, from the Gulf to the St. Lawrence, come the glad tidings of woman’s suffering relieved by it; and thousands upon thousands of letters are pouring in from grateful women, saying that it will and does positively cure those painful Ailments- of Women. It will cure the worst forms of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflammation and ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, and consequent spinal weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the change of life. Every time it will cure Backache. It has cured more cases of leucorrhoea by removing the cause, than any remedy the world has ever known; it is almost infallible in such cases.

Death came in a peculiar manner to David Troyer of Peru. He was sitting on the porch at his home, and his nephew, Hiram, was trying a revolver in a shed. The weapon was fired and the ball passed through the boards and entired Mr. Troyer’s head. Willie Hoover, 7-year-old-son of A. A. Hoover, principal of the Ohio side schools at Union City, met with a painful accident recently. While playing around Snooks’ tile factory he, in some manner, got caught in the ten-foot fly-wheel, cutting several large gashes in his head. Theodore Brizendine was driving from, a neighbor’s to his home in Eden, when his wife and four-months-old Jiaby were in some way thrown from tlie buggy. The wife’s neck was broken and she died instantly, and the baby was so badly injured that it is through! it will die. The tragedy is supposed to have l-e- n caused by reckless driving by Brizendine. Ed Stiles, the 15-year-old son of Alexander Stiles, living near Martinsville was out hunting with a short rifle and sat down on a fence to rest, when the gun discharged.

He thinks that one-fourth the crop will be required for seed, and one-half consumption. which will leave only 5,000.000 bushels for sale, as compared to 85,000,000 bushels last year. Fred P Rush, authority on (he wheat crop, says the yield in the State is not more than 18,000,000 bushels, or about 40 per cent, of the average crop. He says the wheat will grade 20 percent.

In trying to extricate himself he threw his liand further into the machinery, cutting off the palm of the hand and three fingers.

A POPULAR PRINCE. Practically at the Head of the Government Now. “If Great Britain were to adopt a republican form of government tomorrow, and if there were to be a popular election for President of the British Republic, the Prince of Wales weuld easily receive a majority of all the votes in the United Kingdom over any other candidate who could be named.” These words from one of the leading public men of England, himself anything but a royalist in principle and temperament, fairly reflect the views of the most experienced end astute judges of public opinion in Great Britain. For a score of years the prince has practically performed all the social and public duties of a British monarch, while holding the position and receiving recognition only as the first - r F i I/J - if THE PRINCE OF WALES. of the queen’s subjects. He has made some errors, but they have not teen serious errors. He has had to satisfy a great many people, widely differing in temperament, education, politics aid religion, and yet possessing a certain common instinct of nationality, an insulate prejudice, a respect for established institutions and traditions quite unknown to cosmopolitan people like the Americans. So it is that, when the prince speaks so felicitously at the dedication of some new philanthropic or religious institution, most non-conformists readily forgive bis sporting tendencies. while all but the ultra Jacobins among radical workingmen forget his royal blood when he strides democratically among the horses in the saddling paddock on Derby day. In short, the Prince of Wales satisfies the tastes, ideas and prejudices of the average Englishman better than any' member of his royal house bus yet succeeded in doing, and the cheers that invariably greet his every public appearance are the echo of a spontaneous and general popular regard—heightened, of course, by the respect and affection inspired by the character of his lovely and estimable wife. It is this feeling, undoubtedly, which has given rise to the rumor of the queen’s abdication upon the occasion of the celebration of her next birthday. The rumor is not a new one. A good deal was said about it during the Jubilee year, 1887. Each succeeding year, as the queen’s infirmities have grown upon her and she has taken less and less interest in public affairs and more persistently withdrawn from all social duties, there has been more or less talk of the same character.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE

Do Flies Talk? An ingenious inquirer, armed with a microphone, or sound magnifier, has be-n listening patiently through long hours to the curious noises made by house flies, aud reports his belief that they have a language of their own. The language does not consist of the buzzing sound we ordinarily hear, which is made by the rapid vibration of their wings in the air, but of a smaller, finer and more widely modulated series of sounds, audible to the human ear only by the aid of the microphone. Probably this fly conversation is perfectly audible to fly ears, which, as every schoolboy knows who has tried tc move his hand slowly upon them, are very acute. The hope is expressed that, since the heretofore inaudible whispers ot flies have been detected and recorded, some inventor may construct a microphone which will enable us to make out the language of the microbes, and so surprise them in the horrible secret of their mode of operations.

Morse Bron.. Props., Canton. Maas., U.S. A* W. C. Lloyd, a workingman, living at No. G 6 White av., in the Eighteenth ward, Cleveland. 0., first bought Ripans Tabules of Benfield. the druggist. In an interview had with him on the Bth of May, 1895, by a reporter named A. B. Calhoun, residing at 1747 East Madison av., Cleveland, Mr. Lloyd said that he was at present out of a job, but expected to go to work next week at the Bridge works. “Anyway' I have the promise of a job there,” were his words. He had been out of employment since last fall. We will let him tell his story in his own words: “Work was a little slack, and I was feeling so bad that I concluded to lay off for a few days, and when I returned my place was filled, so I’ve been out ever since. I don’t care much, though. I’ve been gaining right along by my rest and treatment Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to me as a good one and with quite a reputation. He gave me medicines of all kinds for nearly six weeks and I got no benefit that I could see. In fact I don’t believe he knows what is the matter with me. A friend of mine called one evening and told me he had been using Ripans Tabules for a short time and had never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they did. He handed me a circular about tnem, which I read, and concluded that they were just what I needed and would fit my case exactly. I dropped Dr. at once, went over to the drug store and got a 50-cent box of them, out of which I took two a day for a while, and within three days noticed and felt much improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last February I got another small box of the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so much better that I didn’t think I reeded any more. The rest of the box I gave to John C— the other day. If I had heard of them at the time I stopped work I could have saved my’ doctor bill, and. better than all, probably kept right on with my work. But I do not begrudge the time lost nor the doctor bill, as I feel I am well paid for having learned of the Tabules. I now feel to pain whatever in my stomach, liver and bowels active and regular, and eat like a well man should eat.” Ripans Tabules are sold by druggists or ly mail If thi’ price (50 cents a box) is sent to The Ripaiis ' henilcal Company.
