Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to all girls whose work keeps them standing on their feet in the store. The doctor said I must stop work ; he did not seem to realize that a girl cannot afford to stop working. My back ached, my appetite was poor, I could not sleep, and menstruation was scanty and very painful. One day when suffering I commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and found that it helped me. I continued its use, and soon found that my menstrual periods were free from pain and natural; everyone is surprised at the change in me, and I am well, and cannot be too grateful for what you have done for me.”—Miss Jankt Paine, 530 West 125th St, New York City.

A Financial Blow.

The Importance of a letter or two it amusingly illustrated in a story, from the New York Times, of Prpf. E. Ray Lankester and an elderly woman from the country, who called upon him in his office in the natural history department of the British Museum, London. She carried a parcel which she handled with the most exaggerated care. She was In a state of great excitement, and exclaimed: -.. .. 2 "I’ve got two of ’em!” “Two of what?” inquired the professor. “Two ’awk’s eggs,” replied the woman. “I’m told they’re worth a thousand pounds apiece.” The professor, much interested, looked at the eggs. “These are not auk’s eggs,” he said. “They are ’awk’s eggs,” said his visitor. “My son Joe found ’em.” A light dawned on the naturalist “The kind of eggs which are so valuable,”. he remarked, gently, “are the eggs of an extinct bird called the auk—-a-u-k.” “Oh, hauk!” the woman. “I’ll pay out that ’Enry ’Obhouse, as he told me It was 'awk’s eggs you wanted.” And she went away.

There are plenty of people who have become depressed and discouraged, because that dry, hacking cough hangs to them continually. They have taken much medicine, mostly of the advertised quack sort, nothing like Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea. the discovery of a then noted German physician 00 years ago. We do not say that this will cure a case where the lungs are badly diseased, for jt will not, and up to this date there is nothing that will cure under these conditions; but on the other hand, if the lungs are not hard hit, the patient should take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, a cup full every night on going to bed,- have it hot, drink slowly, then- every other night, rub the-throat and top portion of the lungs with St. Jacobs OU, cover with oil silk, let it remain an hour, then remove. Eat good, plain, nourishing food, live in the open air as much as possible. By all means sleep as near out of doors possible, that is, windows wide open, except in very severe weather. Take a cold sponge bath every morning; then immediately rub the body vigorously with', a coarse towel. Take Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Drops every other day according tn directions. One can buy the three remedies for $1.25 of any reliable druggist. Begin the treatment at once, and see how much better you will be almost within a week’s time.

Cut Out.

Jack—Did you know that Jones, the tailor, asked Miss Swell to marry him? Dick —So? And what did she say? Jack —She gave him a fitting answer. - Dick—What was it? Jack—She told he was cut out. Dick—-And that ended it, I suppose? Jack—Yes, he didn’t press his suit further.—Tit-Bits.

Again Those Girls.

Miss Clara —You say, Ethel, that you only paid sixpence for having your gloves cleaned? Why, only the other day I was actually asked ninepence. Ethel (with a slight but not dangerous cough)—lndeed, dear. But I suppose the size is‘considered.—Weekly Telegraph.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

“Lower temperature and holiday demands have combined to accelerate retail

trade, sales largely exceeding the corresponding week in preceding years. Much postponed business is being made up and shipping departments are Crowded with work, but wholesale trade has ruled quiet. Railroad earnings for the mouth of November exceeded last year’s by T.® per cent and those of 1900 by 20.5 per cent.” The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: At first glance the sudden rise in furnace stocks of pig iron to 94,295 tons, compared with 71,858 on Nov. 1, might suggest that consumption was below produetion, but obviously any accumulation that occurs is due to inadequate transportation facilities, since needs are urgent, ■ as evidenced' by the imports of eastern steel works. The pressure is still greatest for rail.way supplies, with structural material next as to urgency of demand.

Small supplementary orders for spring shoes are received by New Englund shops, but the season is practically over. Aside from activity in union sole, the leather market has been quiet. Further recessions have occurred in domestic hides. On the other hand foreign dry, hides are firmly held, despite increased receipts. Conditions are practically unchanged as to cotton goods, a fair volume of orders preventing accumulation at the mills. Quotations are steady, and export sales of heavy brown cottons continue very small. Woolen goods'for next fall have been opened at an average adtanee from 5 to 10 per cent. Failures this week in the United States are 269, against 204 last week, 213 the preceding week and 273 the corresponding week last year, and in Canada 30, against 15 last week, 16 the preceding week and 17 last year. Bradstreet’s Grain Figures. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending Dec. 11 aggregate. 3,761,047 bushels, against 5,704,440 last week, 3,879,808 in this week last year and 4,375,577 in 1900. Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 120,507,495 bushels, against 136,303,381 last season, and 36,0)8,003 in 1900. Corn exports aggregate 1,301,286 bushels. against 1,151,563 last week, 278,307 -last year and 4,853,458 in 1900. For the fiscal year exports are 5,160,186, against 19,794,958 last season and 84,906,396 in 1900.

Seasonable weather has been a help in the retail trade lines, although nine

of twelve leading western centers show on the whole a smaller total volume of business for the week as indicated by the comparison of bank clearings with last year. There was a remarkably strong wheat market during the week in the face of many things that ordinarily would have worked for depression. The Canadian government report of the quantity raised last year was bearish, our--own government report of the growing winter wheat extremely bearish, and many other items were of the same tenor. We exported only 3,761,047 bushels last week, against 5,704,440 in the corresponding week last year. Yet May wheat advanced over 2*4 cents. The legitimate grain trade cares little, however, for depressing news as to the future, while we are on an immediate export basis at the seaboard, and are selling wheat to Europe, as on Tuesday, when over 700,000 bushels were taken. The South American imbroglio has also been a consideration on the part of the more venturesome of the speculative element. While the probability of our country becoming entangled in the Venezuelan mik-up seems very remote, there can be no doubt that the effect tipop American speculative markets would be very disturbing should we beoome Involved with the great powers.

SNAKE FANG TRADE POOR.

Time Was When Supplying Hoodoo Bag Contents Paid Well. Speaking of catching snakes, says an old-timer in the New Orleans TlmesDemocrat, the snake fang industry used to yield a good revenue here and in other parts of the South. That was in the palmy days of voudooism. Snake fangs are supposed to have a peculiar charm when it comes to the business of forecasting and divining things, and no thoroughbred voudoo doctor could afford to be without them. They were supposed to be necessary in the business, and if the voudoo doctor could not corral a jsnake himself he would simply have so pay the price prevailing in the snake fang market and get the goods. Then there was the “hoodoo bag,” a peculiar contrivance now extensively used by negroes in the South. All of them do not contain snake fangs, yet fangs are believed to add much to the, power which a possessor of one of these strange things may get from them. These bags are generally very §mall, sometimes K small bottle with a doth covering being used for the purpose. They are filled with all sorts of things.

The contents of the urn used by the witches of Dunslnane in the story of “Macbeth” are nothing in comparison with the mysterious hodgepodge to be found in thp hoodoo bag. And the negro who practices hoodooslm is looked upon as having more power, when It comes to the material benefits, than any set of witches ever possessed, so far as the negroes who believe in such things are concerned. They are supposed to be great gold finders, and hard-working. Industrious negroes have been known to give up a big part of their salary while under the Influence of the man with the hoodoo bag. Not infrequently the police have been forced to interfere on account of the robbery of negroes in this way. But snake fangs do not command much of a price now, because voudooism has been on the decline, and negroes who believe in the potency for good or bad of the hoodoo, bag have been, fortunately, on the decrease. Stil, a sufficient number of the credulous remain to enable a few shrewd negroes to make a living without working.

A Problem Solved.

Cabbel, Kan., Dec. 22.—This part of Kansas has solved the great question, How can Kidney Troubles be cured, and as Rheumatism, Bright’s Disease, Diabetes and other ailments, resulting from Diseased Kidneys are common to all parts of the country the news is of great Interest. The cure 4s Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Hundreds of people will tell you this of their own experience. Take JL B. Cunningham, for example. He had Kidney Trouble of long standing. He sought relief In vain. He had tried Doctors and Medicines of different kinds. Finally he tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills and he stopped right there. No one who tries Dodd’s Kidney Pills for Kidney Complaint ever needs to look any further. Here is what Mr. Cunningham says; “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are al! right for Kidney Trouble. I have used them and know, for they have done me more good than anything I ever used.”

A Model of Taste.

“Yes,” said Mrs. Parvenu, “my husband is a model of neatness and good taste in everything. If you have ever noticed, you never see him in public or private but that he’s trying to get the last little bit of dirt from under his finger nails.”—Los Angeles Herald.

Hon. Louis E. Johnson is the son of the late Reverdy Johnson, who was United States Senator from Maryland, also Attorney General under President Johnson, and United States Minister to England, and who was regarded as the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever lived. In a recent letter from 1006 F street, N. W., Mr. Johnson says: “No one should longer suffer from catarrh when Peruna is accessible. To my knowledge, it has caused relief to so many of my friends and acquaintances, that it is humanity to commend its use to all persons suffering with this distressing disorder of the human system."—Louis E. Johnson.

Catarrh Poisons. Catarrh is capable of changing all the life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and inflame every part they come in contact with. Applications to the places affected by catarrh can do little good save to soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence It is that gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants only serve as temporary relief. So long as the irritating secretions of catarrh continue to be formed so long will the membranes continue to be inflamed, no matter what treatment is used. There is but one remedy that has the desirable effect, and that remedy is
