What Women Should Know.

Every woman ought to know that there in an Institution In this country where diseases peculiar to their sex hare, for nearly thirty years, been made a specialty by several of the physicians connected therewith. This institution is the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. In treating thousands of cases at that famous sanitarium there have been perfected medicines which form a regular scientific course of treatment for these prevalent and most distressing ailments. Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled specialists, forming the faculty of the above Institution, are at all times ready to reply to letters from women suffering from obstinate, complicated, or long neglected diseases and “weaknesses,* and can be addressed, or consulted at the institution, free of charge. When Dr. Pierce published the first edition of his work, The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, he announced that after 650.000 copies had been sold at the regular price, $1.50 per copy, the profit on which would repay him for the great amount of labor and money expended in producing It, he would distribute the next half million free. As this number of copies has already been sold, he is now distributing, absolutely free, 500,000 copies of this most com- plete, interesting and COUPON j valuable common j; No. 112. j sense medical work ' ever published—the recipient only being required to mail to him, or the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y., of which he is President, this little Coupon Number with twenty-one (21) one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only, and the book will be sent PQftrpaid. It is a veritable medical library, complete in one volume. It contains over 1,000 pages and more than 800 illustrations, some of them in colors. Several finely Illustrated chapters are devoted to the careful consideration in plain language, of diseases peculiar to women and. their successful home treatment without the aid of a physician and without having to submit to dreaded “examinations” and the stereotyped “local applications,” so repulsive to the modest and Justly sensitive woman. The Free Edition is precisely the same as that sold at .$1.50, except only that the books are bound in strong manilla paper covers Instead of cloth. Send NOW before all are given away. They are going off rapidly, therefore, do not delay sending immediately if In want of one.

Turk and Armenian.

The feeling of the Turks against the Armenians is very bitter now. Talk of massacredng them is common In the coffee-houses of Constantinople. The situation is very critical. We do not know what may turn up before help arrives. We have hopes that Europe is going to do something for poor Armenia. There will never be any peace while the Turk Is left In sole or even leading control over Christian subjects. Safety and equality are Impossible for them under Moslem rule. Joint control by European powers would seem to be the most practicable and beneficial method at present, rather than giving it over to any one power, especially If that be her nearest neighbor.

FROWNING JUNGFRAU NO LONGER A TERROR TO TOURISTS.

A RAILROAD to the summit of the Jungfrau! A fond farewell to hazardous Alpine climbing. A long good-by to alpenstocks, guides, and all other necessities for scaling the dizzy heights. After a long and heated debate the Swiss Government has given a syndicate permission to construct a railway over the Wengeralps. The object of the railroad company is to make the highest point, the Jungfrau, its terminal station. When completed it will be one of the most daring feats of engineering of this country. Seemingly insurmountable obstacles will have to be conquered, stretches of glaciers traversed, fathomless chasms have to be bridged, and the rock tunneled in all directions. This new road will be of a different pattern from the many varieties of climbing railways now used in Switzerland. The probability is that it will be modeled on the same lines as the electrical mountain railway on Mount Saleve in Geneva. There will, however, be a'distinct difference, insomuch as the new road will be operated both by elec-

In various parts of the country. They have all been black-listed, and their descriptions and pictures have been scattered broadcast by the government. The gypsy moth has perhaps caused the most destruction and waste of money thus far, and it is estimated that close upon a half million dollars has been spent in the effort to stamp him out

What Is a Croft?

The origin of “croft" itself is “wrop In mystery.” It is a very old English term, appearing in the charters of title deeds of estates as long ago as the reign of •Ecjgar, .where the phrase “at the croft’s head” is quoted by Dr. Murray, but it remained long unrecognized in the literary language. The old English form, like the modem one, is croft, meaning an inclosed field. In lowland Scotch it appears generally in the form of craft, which is still employed in many derivatives, but the only other Teutonic equivalent in the sister language 16 the Dutch word “kroft,” which means “a piece of high and dry land,” “a field on the downs,” “a rock headland.” In the North of England, according to I lay, the word croft Implies neighborhood to a bouse, but in the South it Is applied to any small taclosure, near a building or otherwise. Early in the sixteenth century, FitzhCrbert defines a curtylage—whatever that might be—as ~“a Jytell croft or court to put in catell for a tyme.” In the seventeenth century the phrase occurs, “All ould tenants shall, have a croft and a medow,” which sounds as if it came out of a crofter commission report. First Steamboat Before Fulton’s Day The records of Jefferson County, W. Va., prove what is known to but few people in the country—that Robert Fulton, with his steamboat Clermont, had been anticipated over twenty-two years

It will also preserve the feature of cogwheels gripping a center rail now used iq ascending very steep heights. The name of the new road will be the Lauterbrunnen-Wen-geralp-Grindelwald Railway. The powerhouses will be located at the Lauterbrunnen, where also will be an up-to-date passenger station. will be five other stations on the line: Scheidegg, Ribibach, Grindelwald, Monch, and the terminal one, the Jungfrau. All these stations will be unlike anything heretofore used for the accommodation of passengers. They will be all blasted out of the solid rock and form a part of the tunnel system used on this road. Each station will be fitted up in accordance to the demand of the times, and, though of course on a miniature scale, be provided with every convenience. There will be a well supplied restaurant, the little bedrooms will be like the cabins on the American lines, and a profusion of electric lights will make

as the builder of the first steamboat In the United States. The first steamboat, it is claimed, was really built by James Rumsey at Shepherdstown, Va. (now West Virginia). The boat was partially constructed in Frederick County, Md., in 1785. It was fitted up with machinery partly manufactured at a furnace called “the Catoctln,” owned by Johnson Bros., near Frederick, and the two cylinders, boilers, pumps, pipes, etc., were built In Baltimore. Part of the work was done at the old Antietam iron works. The boat was eighty feet In length, and was propelled by an engine which worked a vertical pump placed In the center of the boat. The water was drawn In at the bow of the boat and discharged at the stern through a horizontal pipe. The weight of the machinery was 665 pounds, and the boat’s tonnage or carrying capacity was three tons. All of the machinery, including the boilers, took up a space of only a little over four feet square. The first public experiment took place on the Potomac river on March 14, 1786, at which Rumsey’s boat showed a speed of four miles an hour upstream. The records show that George Washington and Gov. Tom Johnson of Maryland were among the patrons of Rumsey, and that the experiment was really made in the interest of the then proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal.— Exchange. (But Robert Fulton was the man who first built a steamboat that would go and, pay.)

Carefully constructed paths for pedestrians wantffig"tti climb the are found around"nll the station's.' • The road is nearly nine miles long and rises to a height of about 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. The cave of tlje Jungfrau Mountain will be pierced by a shaft communicating with the station immediately below. This shaft will be provided with a passenger elevator worked by a dynamo, which in its turn derives its power from a hydraulic motor utilizing the waters of Lake Luchlnen. Within the tube or shaft is a winding staircase for the use of those not caring to patronize the elevator. The shaft terminates in a tower, from which the visitors can gaze on the world which lies 18,736 feet below where they stand. The railway coaches will be heated by electricity and all stations are connected by telegraph and telephone with the world below.

GRAVE OF LINCOLN’S MOTHER.

The Simple Stone Which Mnrka Her Last Resting Place. In traveling from St. Louis to Louisville, on the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Railroad, a traveler passes almost unnoticed the small town of Lincoin, In Spencer County, in Southern Indiana. The place derives its name from the old homestead of Abraham Lincoln’s father, the farm lying half a mile or so from the railroad depot

THE GRAVE OF LINCOLN'S MOTHER.

The mother of the martyr President is burled here in a thickly wooded spot, within a stone’s throw of where once stood Lincoln’s father’s log cabin. A plain white tombstone, surrounded by a neat irqp fence, marks the place where her ashes lie. The tombstone has the following plain inscription: *»••*«**«, • NANCY HANKS LINCOLN, * • • • Mother of President Lincoln. * • * • ': e *Oct 5, A. D. 1818. • • * • Age 35 years. * • • A part of the old homestead and outbuildings still remain, with a few fence rails scattered here and there in the fields. The main building has been torn down for some time, and It has been a great many years since the cabin was occupied. Relic seekers would scarcely think of stopping oft at Lincoln to find anything of interest Very few persons, outside of the few hundred inhabitants of Lincoln, know where the grave Is located, and the place has very few visitors. Attention has been called to the place.lately by a movement which is on foot ip have a fine monument erected on '<he*site, but as nothing definite has been done.

Best Tea.

The best tea In Japan is raised in districts where snow often falls to the eaves of the houses. Many plants will survive under such snow that are not hardy even in the Southern States. By the same rule some varieties of Japanese lilies will survive Vermont winters that are not hardy In Missouri. Customer—Bring me some lobster salad and some encumbers.

Electricity Utilized by Dentists.

A new machine has been Introduced for the purpose of safely and conveniently adapting the power of electricity to the uses and requirements of dentistry. The operation of a small slectrlc motor enables the dentist to dispense with the foot lever commonly jused, and to concentrate all his attention on the work In hand. In the filling and stopping of te?th the electric dental engine Is specially serviceable, as the various mallets used can be run from a slow to the very highest speed. It was noted as curious that a large number of the early orders for this de-* vice came from seaside places. Upon Inquiry It was found that many city people realise their need of a dentist only after they have left their homes. As soon as they reach the seaside their tefcth begin to throb and pain. The reason given by the dentists Is that the change of air and the Invigorating outdoor life which summer idlers lead strengthen and stimulate them. Their hearts have a stronger beat, and if there is a weak spot anywhere about them the pressure of the quickened circulation finds it out. Thus It happens that teeth which are no trouble In the city bring grist to the mill of the seaside dentist—New York Times.

New Mexico's Climate.

For variety of climate New Mexico leads the other Territories of the Union. This Is*due In part to her extent from p*rth to south, oovering as It does seven degrees of latitude. More still Is perhaps duo to differences In altitude, which, within her borders, ranges from four thousand to fourteen thousand feet Conditions of aridity and rarefaction, and highly electrical conditions of the atmosphere dependent upon altitude, Increase the diversity beyond the mere question of cold and heat In establishing an arbor day for the Territory, the Legislature at first selected two days, one for the northern knd the other for the southern half of New Mexico, but these proved Insufficient to meet the conditions of climate to all localities. So the designation of the day In each county Is now left with the county school superintendent, Is supposed to fix It at the best season for tree planting In his locality.

No Fancy Prayers.

Dean Hole tells of an old-fashioned cathedral verger, “lord of the aisles,” who, one noon, found a pious visitor on his knees in the sacred building.
