Strangely Thrown Together. Dr. E. Fernia, who has an office in the Chamber of Commerce Building, recently became acquainted with Dr. Darling, of 4329 Lake avenue, under peculiar circumstances. Dr. Fernia takes a bicycle spin every afternoon, the weathei' permitting. Recently he was riding along Rush street when his wheel struck a stone, throwing hlin into an open carriage that was passing, in the carriage was Dr. Darling. Dr. Fernia apologized for the prank of his wheel and handed Dr. Darling his card. Dr. Darling laughingly accepted the apology and gave Dr. Fernia his card. As the physicians parted they shook hands and promised to call on each other socially.—Chicago Times-Herald. PROOF fS^POSITIVE THAT LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Is Daily Curing Backache, Dizziness, 'faintness, Irregularity, and all Female Complaints. I [sr«ct*l. TO OUB LADT BBADKBBd Intelligent women no longer doubt th# ftlue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It speedily relieves irregularity, suppressed or painful menstrua ^7O v A Ay tlons, weakness of the stomach, indigestion, bloating, leucorrhcea, womb trouble, flooding, nervous prostration, headache, general debility, etc. Symptoms of Womb Troubles are dizziness, faintness, extreme lassitude, “don’t care,” and “want to be left alone” feelings, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy, or the “blues,” and backache.

Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

KNOWS HIS MASTER’S MIND, ft . One Who Understands Horse# Give# Them Credit for Mind Reading. r “Horses are almost as superstitious i as meu, but, unlike men, they can be , reasoned with and made broad-minded, y liberal, free-thinking philosophers. The j horse is the noblest animal that walks - the earth. He has most of the good . traits of the human race, with some of . the bad ones.” It was Prof, ^hrtholoi mew who spoke in this exalted strain about the horse. ‘ “When a youth I was a cowboy and one of the rough riders of the West. Like other cowboys. I delighted in a bucking broncho, but I soon leaimed that the wildest horse can be tamed In ; an hour so that he will follow his rider about and let himself be ridden without a struggle. I have tamed hundreds of horses fresh from the prairies, and never failed to make a complete conquest in a^short time. I treat horses as intelligent beings, and after a manner ask them if they can do things. Often they refuse, and again they say as plainly as if they used words: 'Why, yes, I can do that,’ and they do It. “I train my horses In classes. 1 take a dozen and ask each to do a certain thing. Some will start blindly, while others will step up briskly and say, 'Yes, I can do that.’ Then I ask them to do something else, and then those who are quickest at first will halt, while those who made no response before are anxious to do the thing. Thus I soon learn the class of work each is especially fitted for and develop them along their special lines. In this way they are just like men. Now, I have tried numerous ways to make a living outside of horses, but always fail and drift back to my hobby. "Horses are like men in the amount of courage the.v can muster up. If I want a horse to do extra long jumps 1 select a creature that is finely built and has all the physical qualities, but perhaps he is a coward and afraid to leap. Some little, half-developed creature, possessed with a dare-devil spirit, may outdo him in every respect.”—Agriculturist. “Only Direct Line.” "I suppose,” he began, as he entered a railroad ticket office, "I suppose you sell tickets to New York?” “Certainly, sir,” was the reply. "You have a direct line?” "We have, sir.” "It is the only direct line?” "It is.” "ft is down on the map as the only direct line?” “As you see, sir,” replied the agent, as he opened a folder. "Y-e-s, I seo. You land passengers in New York ahead of all competing lines, of course?” "Os course.” "Luxurious coaches, no dust, finest dining cars, scenery unexcelled?” "Yes, sir.” “By taking your line I avoid delays and reduce the chances of accident to the minimum?” “Yes, sir; you do. Have a ticket to New York over our line, sir?” “Can’t say yet. I'm going to see five other agents, each with the shortest and most direct line, and if I can find a liar among the six I'll takb a ticket over J his road.”—Detroit Free Tress. Useless Torpedo Boats. They have two big white elephants at the New York navy yard just now. It seems that the Navy Department does not know what 'to do with the torpedo boats built for the battleships Texas and Maine. These boats have failed to make the time required, for torpedo service, and those designed for the Texas will not be used, and it is probable that those made for the Maine will not go with that ship. These boats cannot make more than eleven or twelve knots an hour, and, in the opinion of naval experts, that speed will be useless in battle. One of the torpedo boats of the Texas will be on exhibition at the Atlanta exposition. It is probable that all of these torpedo boats will be used at the Annapolis Naval Academy by the cadets.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Solid Oxygen. Prof. Dewar, the chemist, has compressed oxygen under an Intense degree of cold, a degree almost beyond the power of imagination, Into a pale blue fluid, a thing which, although it has been done before, has dot been done to such an extent or in such quantity, has solidified oxygen Into a jelly, has made ozone into a hiplslazull-blue liquid, and has also liquefied air. He has made'the suggestion that possibly the vast shining night clouds, concerning whose composition, whether of congregated stars at Immeasurable distance or of nebulous matter slowly concentrating into stars, astronomers have arrived at no fixed conclusion, may really be only masses of carbonic acid gas frozen in the unspeakable cold of the interstellar spaces which is probably the zero of absolute temperature. Expectation of Life in England. The British registrar general, who keeps records of births and deaths in the British Isles, has compiled a series of tables giving the expectation of life of males and females for each year ‘ between 1 and 100. ,Os 1,000,000 boys 841,417 will be alive at the end of one year, while of 1,000,000 girls, 871,206 will be alive. At the end of ten years there will be 708,990 boys and 738,382 girls; after twenty years, 680,033 males ; and 707,949 females. The expectation ■ of life for females is always greater than for males of corresponding ages. t Modern Speed in Hatmaking. By the use of mechanical devices now 1 employed it is said that a workman t can make the “bodies” for 400 hats a • day. By the hand process he could • only prepare four or five.

An Energetic New Woman. "1 don’t take much stock in these new woman ideas,” remarked a man from south Georgia yesterday, “but I saw one to-day I would like to have in my corn field in fodder season to pull fodder. Say, that woman .was a James car about a block Types of B eanty It is said that when artists are seeking for models the palm for beauty tnd symmetry of figure is given to the girls of Spain, while the daughters of rural Ireland are a good second. The pretty faces and graceful throats are found among English maidens. A model for a perfect arm would be sought for among Grecian ladies, while a lady of the Turkish harem would be regarded as the possessor of a daintily commendable hand. Italians are usually good in figure, and some of the most beautiful models, perfectlj' proportioned, are derived from the women of sunny Italy. Frenchwomen, as a rule, are not in request, being too thin ami vivacious for the purpose; while the face ami limbs or a German frau are too commonplace ? for artistic work.

Mr. A. P. st. John, a citizen of Oregon, Wisconsin, In an interview had with D. E. Williams, of the Oregon Observer, on the Gth day of May, I®s, said: “For a lang time I have been more or leas troubled with dyspepsia. Having considerable hard work co do, if I followed the cravings of my appetite it was sure to result In those terrible distressing pains of the stomach. When In the most agony I would endeavor to obtain partial relief by some ‘grandmother’ treatment, which. If of any benefit, was to strengthen the Imagination that the distress was a trifle less. A t times I have suffered Intensely. While visiting my sister Cora I was recommended to try Ripans Tabules, which I soon discovered were a blessing to mankind. Now I am never without them, and am pleased to recommend them e.s a Godsend to those troubled with dyspepsia.” * <hn«C?M» or by mall If the price (50 center box) latent to The KI pan* < hemteal Company, Ha 10 Spruce Stswt.
