MRS. CURTIS, NEW YORK,

Tells Hor Experience With Ovaritis. A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with an occasional shooting pain, indicates inflammation. On examination it will be found that the region of pain shows some swelling. This is the first stage of ovaritis, inflammation of the ovary. If the roof of your house leaks, my sister, yon have it fixed at once ; why not pay the same respect to your own body ? Do you live miles away from a ductor ? Then that is all the more reason why you should attend to yourself at / once, or you will L, soon be on the flat (J of your back.

Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and tell her all your symptoms. Her experience in treating female ills is greater than any' other living person. Following is proof of what we say: “ For nine years I suffered with female weakness in its worst form. I was in bed nearly a year with congestion of the ovaries. I also suffered with falling of the womb, was very weak, tired all the time, had such headaches as to make me almost wild. Was also troubled with leucorrhcea, and was bloated so badly that some thought I had dropsy. I have taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and several of her Blood Purifier, and am completely cured. It is a wonder to all that I got well. I shall always owe Mrs. Pinkham a debt of gratitude for her kindness. I would advise all who suffer to take her medicine.”—Mrs. Annib Curtis, Ticonderoga, N. Yr

Why Barnum Got Lind.

Here is a curious story about the famous Swedish songstress, Jenny Lind. Goldschmidt, the Swedish cantatrice’s accompanist, had gone to America to seek his fortune. It had been a hard parting, for he loved the singer (he afterward married her), and the result was disappointment. He was about to return home when he met Barnum and complained to him of bls ill luck. Barnum was equally unhappy. He had tried everything—“circus, violin virtuosos, dancers, educated apes, learned lecturers”—but all in vain. Then Goldschmidt suggested that he knew a singer in England who might be a card In America. “A singer? Pah! What’s her name?” “Jenny Lind.” “That’s no name,” retorted Barnum. "But she sings beautifully.” “Good thing for her, but no business for me.” “But she’s the greatest singer In England.” “Better still for her; but we’ll talk about something else,” said the prince of managers. After a while spent In talk on other subjects, Goldschmidt returned to the attack. “For God’s sake,” Barnum broke In Impatiently, “leave me in peace with your singer. We have as many singers as there are sands on the seashore.” ‘ Pity,” replied Goldschmidt, carelessly. “Perhaps after all something might be done with the Swedish nightingale.” Barnum leaped to his feet. “What’s that? Swedish ” “That’s what they call her in England.” “What is she called?” “The Swedish nightingale.” “The Swedish nightingale? Write at once to Miss Jenny Lind. I will engage her for 100 concerts; $50,000 down, free voyage, and living for three persons. At once!” “But, my dear friend, you haven’t heard her!” “Heard her! What the devil do I know about mu. 4c? Swedish nightingale! Immense! And you, unlucky wretch, have waited till now before telling me!”

How It Came to Be Victoria.

The primate had been told by the prince that he liked good historical English names that every one could understand. What better name, he thought, than Queen Elizabeth’s. He mildly suggested “Elizabeth.” “On no account,” said the prince regent “Charlotte, after your royal mother and the child’s royal aunt.” “Certainly not.” The Duchess of Kent relieved her feelings by a flood of tears. The Princess Mary kissed her and the baby cried. This spurred the mild archbishop. ‘What name is it your royal highness’ pleasure to command?” “What’s her toother's name?” “Victoria,” answered the Duke of Kent. But his InterveHtion was met by an irate look from the regent. The Duke of York, seeing that the christening must be hastened forward if it was to be got through with at all, took on himself to say, “Alexandria Victoria.” And so the Queen misled being known in history as Georgiana, a fitting name for the last of the Georgian dynasty, but less suitable for a glorious reign of sixty years than Victoria. —Contemporary Review.

WORK OF CONGRESS.

THE WEEK’S DOINGS IN SENATE AND HOUSE. A Comprehensive Digest of the Proceedings in the Legislative Chambers at Washington —Matters that Concern the People. Lawmakers at Labor. The Senate was in a deadlock for several hours Wednesday, with business at a standstill, while calls of the Senate, roll calls and other parliamentary expedients were resorted to. It was due to the effort to secure action on the resolutions of Mr. Harris of Kansas, designed to prevent the disposal of the Government lien on the t cion Pacific Railway under the terms of an alleged agreement. No final vote on the motion was secured. It finally went over. In the House Mr. Henderson of lowa asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a joint resolution to permit the erection of a temporary studio on the future site of the statue of Gen. Sherman, for the erection of which a contract has been made. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Cannon moved nun-concurrence in the Senate amendment to the general deficiency bill. The motion prevailed, and Messrs. Cannon, Northway and Sayers were appointed conferees. Mr. Stewart moved in the Senate Thursday a reconsideration of the action of the Senate in passing the resolution directing the Secretary of War to proceed in the construction of a breakwater at San Pedro. Cal. It reopened the longstanding controversy over the location of a deep water harbor on the Pacific coast and led to an exciting debate between Mr. Stewart and Mr. White of California. The motion to reconsider was disagreed to. Mr. Thurston, chairman of the Committee on International Expositions, secured the passage of the joint resolution accepting the invitation of the French republic to take part in the international exposition at Paris in 1900. Mr. Tillman secured the passage of the bill in relation to the interstate transportation of distilled spirits and declaring such spirits to be subject to State laws to the same extent as spirits distilled in the State. The House did nothing. In the Senate Friday the Harris resolution relating to the Union Pacific Railroad was further discussed. The conference report on the deficiency appropriation bill was considered. Mr. Hale said the price of armor plate was not included in the report. Nothing had been done on that subject except that the Senate conferees had stated positively that the Senate would not consider any sum over S3OO for armor. The report was agreed to and a further conference ordered. Mr. Morgan secured the adoption of a resolution requesting the President for information as to the arrest of Alfred O. H. Hugnet, a citizen of the United States, by the Spanish authorities at Havana Sept. 6, 1896. On motion of Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota the bill was passed to give the consent of Congress to a compact entered into between the States of South Dakota and Nebraska respecting the boundary between said States. The House agreed to the partial conference report on the general deficiency bill and then concurred in the Senate amendment fixing the limit of cost of armor plate for the three battle-ships now building at S3OO per ton. The conference report on the tariff bill was adopted by the House shortly after midnight Monday by a vote of 185 to 118. This eclipses all previous records. The result was accomplished after twelve hours of continuous debate. But two speeches were made by the Republicans, one by Mr. Dingley in opening the debate and one by Mr. Payne of New York in closing it. In all ten Democratic and one Populist speeches were made. The sugar schedule was the main point of assault. Every Republican in the House who was present voted for the report. The Democrats, with five exceptions, voted against the report. The exceptions were Slayden of Texas, Broussard of Louisiana, Meyor of Louisiana, Davey of Louisiana and Kleberg of Texas. An analysis of the vote shows that 180 Republicans and five Democrats voted for the report, and 10t» Democrats and twelve Populists against it. The tariff conference report was presented to the Senate Tuesday, but little progress was made on it beyond the formal reading of about two-thirds of the report. Mr. Tillman openly threatened a filibuster until next December if cotton bagging and cotton ties were not restored to the free list, but the threat was regarded as somewhat facetious. The sugar amendments occasioned a long debate, and the lumber amendment also brought out animated criticism from Senators Teller and Pettigrew. Early in the day the Senate passed a joint resolution authorizing n.nd requesting the President to take all necessary steps for the release of the Competitor prisoners from prison at Havana. Representative Mitchell of New Yoik has introduced a bill in the House to establish a currency reserve fund for the redemption of United States and treasury notes of 1890. The fund shall aggregate at the start $150,000,000, of which not over $100,000,000 shall consist of gold and the remainder of United States treasury notes. The fund shall be added to from time to time as the treasury’s cash balance exceeds $75,000,000, but shall never aggregate more than $200,000,000. 'The fund shall be used to redeem United States and treasury notes, which shall not be reissued, except in exchange for gold, to be deposited in the reserve fund.

MORTGAGES OF INDIANA.

Intereatins Fig urea Compiled by the State Statistician. The bureau of statistics is receiving some interesting reports from county recorders upon blanks sent them for the purpose on real estate transfers, mortgages an<l satisfaction of mortgages for the year 1897, as compared with the same in 1896. The reports given below are from all sections of the State and from fairly representative agricultural counties. Here are the real estate transfers: Counties. 1897 1896. Adams $ 483.074 $ 541.264 Bartholomew 503.680 548.037 Clark 773,860 516.123 Clinton 1,158.644 1,343.910 Daviess 824.858 1.019.539 Warrick 357.078 395.666 Jefferson 307.620 352.405 Vigo 1,552.078 1.760.263 Henry 891.203 791,722 Lake 2.576.406 2.059.336 Miami 872.002 936.700 Steuben 490.731 505,357 Elkhart 1,220.742 1.873,101 Totals $12,012,676 $12,743,429 It will be seen that the transfers of 1897 show a decreased amount of consideration compared with 1896 of $730,753, or 5.73 per cent. The number of transfers are less than that of last year by 13.60 per cent. The transfers for both periods include warranty deeds, quit claim, executor’s, administrator’s, guardian's, sheriff’s, auditor’s and tax title deeds. These transactions are for the fiscal year ending May 31 and are certified as correct by the several county recorders. The mortgages given below, reported from the same counties by the recorders, will suggest in part the reason. Statistician Conner says, for some of the mortgages, they being for part of thp consideration of the purchase: Counties. 1897. 1896. Adams $ 245.614 $ 489.957 Bartholomew 341.609 312.222 Clark 136.251 315,214 Clinton 076,080 613,900 Daviess 350.192 440.834 Warrick 427,193 260.845 Jefferson 194,065 198,900 Vigo 1,282.266 1,380,884 Henry 272,057 498,007 Lake 484,867 1,263,125 Miami 425,230 2,307,292 Steuben 256,459 248,722 Elkhart 053,462 551,021 Totals $5,757,951 $8,892,423 Mortgages for 1897. In order to obtain a knowledge of the kinds and classes of property mortgaged, the blanks sent out for this year contained questions classifying them, and so for the same counties the bureau has obtained these facts, as set forth in the following table: Lands and Town On chatCounties. farms. lots. tela. Adams $ 168.527 $ 39.253 $ 37,834 BarthTmew . 188.314 85,385 67,910 Clark 71,856 23,045 41,350 Clinton 468,980 132,900 74,200 Daviess 194,894 112,803 48,495 Warrick 331,276 57,156 38,761 Jefferson .... 112.065 80,000 2,000 Vigo 210,418 892,217 179,681 Henry 180,857 94.200 3,600 Lake .. 106,843 316,504 61,520 Miami 262,431 88,000 74.805 Steuben 154,258 84,414 17,787 Elkhart 280,155 345,517 27,790 Totals ...$2,730,874 $2,351,894 $675,683 Thus it is found that of the total amount of the mortgages in these thirteen counties 47.43 per cent were upon lands and farms, 40.84 per cent on town lots and 11.73 on chattels. This is the first analysis obtained of mortgages in the State, and the bureau says will give a more intelligent understanding of the character of these obligations. The satisfactions entered of record in the same thirteen counties for the two years are shown by the reports to the bureau in the following table: Counties. 1897. 1896. Adams $ 187.548 $ 141.314 Bartholomew 865,992 203,263 Clark 123.897 168.085 Clinton 689.000 565.200 Daviess 676,262 277.298 Warrick 137.358 93,597 Jefferson 217.033 159.500 Vigo 345,665 079,333 Henry 217.970 451.218 Lake 410,650 863,845 Miami 291,045 419,500 Steuben 66.768 40,002 Elkhart 559,746 493.792 Totals $4,707,434 $4,640,547 In 1890 52.25 per eent of the amount of the mortgages were paid and satisfied, as compared with the mortgages recorded in thirteen counties. In 1897 83.31 per cent of the amount of the mortgages were paid off as compared with those recorded for the si me fiscal year period in the same counties. 'The amount of consideration of the mortgages of 1897 was $3,134,447 less than in 189(5. The amount of mortgages paid in 1597 was $150,887 greater than in 18915. Of the thirteen counties given in the tables sonly three, viz., Vigo, Lake and Elkhart, show a greater value of mortgages on lots than on farms and lands in 1897. These three counties contain thriving and growing cities and towns is the way the bureau accounts for this. As further accounting for and classifying mortgage indebtedness the bureau of statistics called attention to the work in 'this line accomplished in a few of the counties of Indiana by the census department in 1890, which showed the following facts: Purpose of mortgage. Per eent Purchase of real estate 65.19 Real estate Improvements 0.73 Purchase and Improvements, combined 4.80 Business 3.74 Farm machines, domestic animals and other personal property 0.75 Purchase, Improvements, business and personal property (two or more combined) 2.92 Purchase.

Gottfried Eisman, a farmer near Kendallville, was found dead in his hay field. Neighbors advance the theory that he was prostrated, while many claim he was murdered. There have been hundreds of tramps in the vicinity of late. At South Bend. Patrolman Samuel Derrent shot Charles Krinkle. The officer was attempting to arrest the man, the latter running away. Derrent ordered him to halt, and the order not being complied with, Derrent fired. Krinkle may recover. The huckleberry crop in northern Indiana, Usually amounting to many thousand bushels, will be light this year. It is ripe, and persons who have been through the marshes in Fulton nnd Marshal! counties say that the crop is light. There has been an abundance of rainfall, and the recent hot weather has been conducive to the ripening of the fruit, but it is not maturing properly, and both in quality and quantity the yield will be inferior. A singular and fatal accident occurred in Liberty township, near Wabash, the victim being Sherman Thompson, the son of E. B. Thompson, a wealthy farmer. Owing to tlie intense heat the young man had unhitched his team from a self-binder and was standing near a large ong tree, when lightning struck the tree, shivering it. The tree struck one of the horses, which fell over on him. crushing him to the ground, inflicting internal iujaiUa. Um horse was instantly killed.

BICYCLE FIGURES.

Some Interesting Facta Regarding the Ontpot of Crescent Bicycles in 1800 by the Western Wheel Works, of Chicago, 111. The idea of this article is to convey to the reader a conception of the euormoua amount ot raw material consumed duriug a season in supplying the demand lotone of the most popular bicycles made. The Western Wheel Works, Chicago, makers of the Crescent wheel, have the largest, and without doubt the most complete bicycle factory in the world, and can turn out, when running to fullest capacity, 725 finished Crescents in twelve hours, or a complete “up to date” bicycle per minute. The following figures are based on the actual amount of the principal parts of material used by them during 18SK1 in the manufacture of Crescent bicycles, during which season they made more highgrade bicycles than any other two factories in the country. They used 350 miles of tubing, or enough to nearly reach from Chicago, to St. Ibtul if placed in a straight line. The sjiokes were made in their own factory, and required 780 miles of wire, or enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln, Neb.; 50 miles of brass rod was required for spoke nipples. If the spokes, spoke nipfiles and tubing were placed in a straight ine they would reach from Chicago to the Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks, if placed end to end, would cover a distance of 22 miles. They used 35 miles of steel for crank axles, wheel axles and pedal axles, and 10 miles of steel for seat posts. If the rims that were used in the manufacture of Crescents in ’96 were placed one upon the other they would make a pile 111,800 feet high, 0,000 feet higher than Pike’s Peak and about the height of Mount Elias iu Alaska, whose summit has never yet beeu reached by mau. If placed in a straight line, side byside, these rims would reach a distance of 72*6 miles, and if the tires were littesl they would make a line 77*6 miles longer. The steel forgings used for the erank hangers on the TO wheels weighed, in the rough, 113 8-10 tons, and when finished, 21 jf-10 tons, showing a complete waste of 91 9-10 tons in drilling and finishing. It required 32,084 square feet of sheet steel to make the Crescent hollow tooth sprockets, and 21,870 square feet for the steel stampings of the head and seat post clamits, or in all enough Hat steel to cover an area of I*4 acres. There were used 10 miles of cork grips, ]OVk miles of finished hubs, and 28 miles of steel wire to pin frames together before brazing. The finished chains, end to end, would reach 70 miles, and the different pieces of which they are composed would reach 237*6 miles, or in all 307*6 miles, the distance from Chicago to Cincinnati. The bearings of 1896 Crescents required 13,997,300 steel balls, which, if placed in a straight line, side by side, would reach a distance of 45% miles. To lace the chain and dress guards on the ladies' Crescents manufactured iu 1890 required 434,150 yards of cord, or 246’6 miles, enough to allow a small boy to stand on the top of the Auditorium tower In Chicago and fly his kite where the people in Des Moines, lown, could see it. To supply Crescents sold in 1890 required 1,600,742 bolts, and 1.488,075 nuts, having an aggregate weight of 23 tons. Sixteen and one-quarter miles of spring steel were used in the manufacture of saddle springs, and the saddle and tool bags together used up 177,883 square feet, or over 4 acres of leather. The total weight of the complete bicycles was 2,382,842 pounds, or 1.191 tons. To crate these bicycles required 1,235,740 square feet of lumber made up in pieces, which would make n distance of 1.139 miles, or more than the distance from Now York to Chicago; 72.718,668 separate nnd distinct pieces entered into the construction of '96 Crescents, and if all were placed in a straight line, end to end, they would reach from New .York to some distance In the Pacific Ocean west of San Francisco.—Crescent Bulletin, July 1, 1897.

The Angelus Bird.

When traveling in tile forests of Guiana and Paraguay, it Is not uncommon to meet with a bird whose music greatly resembles that of an Angelas bell when heard from a distance. The Spaniards call this singular bird a bell-ringer, though It may be still more appropriately designated as the Angelus bird, for, like the Angelus bell, it Is heard three times a day, morning, noon and night. Its song, which defies all description, consists of sounds like the strokes of a bell, succeeding one another every two or three minutes, so clearly and in such a resonant manner that the listener, if a stranger, imagines himself to be near a chapel 'or a convent. But It turns out that the forest is the chapel, and the bell a bird. The beauty of the Angelus bird is equal to his talent. He is as large as a jay, and as white as snow, besides being graceful in form and swift in motion. But the most curious ornament of the Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched feathers on its beautiful head. It is conical in shape and about four inches in length.—From the Guardian Angel.

Poison in the Coffee.

Few people who habitually drink coffee, several times a day, realize the amount of poison they are distributing through their system. All coffee contains caffeine, and the better the coffee the more of that slow poison. By experimenting with pure grains a substitute for fine coffee has been produced. It is called Grain-O. There is nothing about it to hurt the most delicate system. It strengthens the nerves and is nourishing to old and young alike. The smallest child can drink Grain-0 without any bad effects. While it tastes like and has the seal brown color of the finest Mocha or Java coffee it contains all pure nourishing grains. It costs only one-quarter as much as coffee. Sold fly all grocers, 15 cents and 25 cents per package. Ask for Grain-O.

Rain Charged with Electricity.

A remarkable shower of electrified rain recently fell in Cordova, Spain. At the close of a close, warm day the sky became heavy with clouds. Soon after dark there was a flash of lightning, followed by great drops of rain, which cracked faintly bn reaching the ground, sparks flying from each of them. This remarkable Incident ceased as the atr became heavy with moisture.

BEAUTY IS BLOOD DEEP.

PURE, HEALTHY BLOOD MEANS BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION. Intestinal Microbes Polson the Blood When the Bowels Are ConstipatedDrive Them Out by Making the Liver Lively. “Beauty is skin deep.” That is wrong. Beauty is blood deep. A person constipated, with a lazy liver, bilious blood, dyspeptic stomach, has pimples and liver spots and a sole leather complexion. No one with a furred tongue, a bad breath, a jaundiced eye, can be beautiful, no matter how perfect are form and features. To be beautiful, to become beautiful, or remain beautiful, the blood must be kept pure and free from bile, microbes, disease germs and other impurities. Casearets Candy Cathartic will do it for you quickly, surely, naturally.

Chinese Wife Trade.

The Chinese In Australia and elsewhere send home to China for their wives, and bargaining is quite a matter of business. The price of wives is said to be falling, because the supply Is exceeding the demand. The Ohlnumen, when they take a notion to marry, write to a matrimonial agent In Hong Kong. One letter was as follows: “I want a wife. She must be a maiden under 20 years of age, aud must not have left her father’s house. She must also have never rend a book, and her eyelashes must be half an Inch in length." There is a regular tariff for these wives. The price of a Chinese woman delivered in Sidney Is $l9O, but two Chinese women only cost $260; therefore, the Chinese import the women in couples. The Importer never sees the women before they arrive, and then he generally selects the best-looking one. Th other is shown around a number of well-to-do Chinese, and after they huve inspected her she is submitted to what may be called public auction.
