In many cases the sale physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption—indigestion —anything but the right thing. It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., and opened their heart and lives —woman to woman—and received her help. You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot? Because no man living ever treated so many cases und possesses such vast experience. Displacement, inflammation, torpid action, stagnation, sends to all parts of the body the pains that crush you. Lydia K Pinkham s “ Vegetable Compound - ’ is the sure cure for this trouble. For twenty years it has done its grand work and cured thousands. The Greatest fledical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY.

Andrew Lang’s Christmas book this year will be "The Animal Story Book. “The Golliwoggs Bicycle Club" is the promising title of a new illustrated gift book in preparation by the talented sisters, Bertha and Florence K. Upton. William S. Lord, of Evanston, continues to write childhood verse worthy of Eugene Field. His latest piece is “‘.Tingle and Jangle.” The long-expected “Life of the Rev. Benjamin Jowett,’’ by Evelyn Abbott and the Rev. Lewis Campbell, Is now completed, and will soon be issued by a London publisher. Stuart Erskine has returned to London from Russia, where he reported the Moscow festivities for the Pall

Mall Gazette. He is engaged upon a novel to be calk’d "Lord Dullborough; Uis Lite and Opinions" The book is a satire on the decadent school of fiction. At an inquest recently held in London it has transpired that there is a Rudyard place, Kipling street, somewhere in the neighborhood of Bermondsey. The surprise of the London papers at the discovery indicates the appropriateness of the jungle man's name for use amid the London wilderness. The second volume of “The Centenary Burns,” edited by W. F. Henley and T. F. Henderson, will appear in Edinburgh. It embraces the posthumous poems, including eight pieces printed for the first time from the original manuscript. The bibliographical and critical notes cover nearly 200 pages. Chicagoans note with regret the retirement of S. C. Griggs from the publishing business on account of failing health. Mr. Griggs is the oldest general publisher in Chicago, having been engaged in the book business for nearly half a century. "Our Seven Homes" is the title under which Mrs. Rundle Charles' autobiographical reminiscences will appear. The book was commenced by the author of “The S •homberg Cotta Family" more ♦han ten years ago, "at the instigation of a great prince," and deals with her early life, home and parentage. It Is gratifying to note that the excel lent Dent .Macmillan "Temple SI k speare" has been accorded a welcome I commeusurate with its deserts.

The fol ; lowing episodes, trifling though t ■> seem, are significant. Wo quote fr. m Mrs. Maud Wilder Goodwin’s pleasant “Life of 1 h>lly Mad son:" William C. Preston, in his unpubl -h ed journal, describes his going, a a youth, to the White House, to pay Trespects to the President and Mrs. Mad Ison. She advanced straight toward me. I and extending her left hand. said. "Are ; you William Campbell Free n. the s a I of my old friend and most beloved kins j woman. Sally Campbell? Sit down, my son, for you are my son. and 1 am the | first person who ever saw you In this world." Turning then with a gra lousness ; that charmed the young man. she intro dueed him to the circle of young girls about her, giving some speeal clew to I each, and ending witii, "Your kinswoman, Sally Coles." At another of her levees, her alien tion was drawn to a rustic visitor, a youth who was evidenly .suffering all the torments of embarrassment. He had at last ventured to help himself to a cup of coffee, when Mrs. Madison walked up and addressed him. In the surprise of the moment, the lad dropped the saucer, and strove to crowd the cup. into his pocket. H’s tactful hostess to dr no notice of the accident, except to observe that in such a crowd no one could avoid being jostled, ami straightway tinned the conversation to the boy’s family, and ended by sending her regards to his excellent mother, anil bid ling the servant bring another cup of coffee. Two old ladies from the country once arrived at the White House while the family were still at breakfast. To the surprise of the rural visitors, the woman they had come to see appeared in a stuff dress of dark gray, protected by a large housewifely white apron, and ! with a linen kerchief pinned about her j neck. Her simplicity of manner and attire completely swept away - their awe, and before departing one of them found courage to ask: "Perhaps you wouldn’t mind if I kissed you just to tell the folks about.” / Kail road Construction. For eight years the mileage of annual railway construction in the United Ktates lias been steadily decreasing. From nearly 13,000 miles of track laid in the wonderful year of 1887 the totals have gone down by thousands and hundreds, until 1895 touched the lowest round for twenty years by adding only 1.803 miles to our railway system. Buti

this does not mean that the demand for railways is nearly supplied and that construction will continue to decrease. On the contrary, there is room, and will be need for additions far greater than the entire present mileage of the country. We have now something over 181,000 miles of road. Io equal Great Britain in its ratio of railway mileage to square miles we should have a total of 492,000 miles; to equal the abundant supply of Illinois we must have 552,000 miles, while If Massachusetts, with its mile of railway to every four square miles of territory, be the standard, the United States will eventually boast of 772,000 miles of lines. That there is much railway building yet to be done the records prove beyond a doubt. When it will be done depends upon conditions yet to be developed. A considerable amount of work is already under way. During the tlrst three months of this year 253 miles of track were laid on twenty lines, and Including these our books already show sixty lines on which it seems reasonably certain that 1,750 miles of track will have been laid by th<‘ end of 1890, with a possibility of much more. It all depends on the times, not on the question of finding room or demand for more railroads.—• Railway Age. Sosimo. Among Mrs. Strong’s recollections oi Stevenson, in Scribner’s Magazine, are certain stories of Soslmo, the native who took such goo 1 care of him and ruled Ids affairs with so firm a hand. Stevenson had a topaz stud that was somewhat dlfllcult to put into his shirt, so he gave It to Mrs. Strong, who laid It away in her trinket box. When first she wanted to wear It she was dismayed to find It gone. Soslmo bad missed the stud, discovered It In her box, and canlevl it back to Louis’ room. “I kept up the fight," she says, "for some time, trying to secrete it from SosImo by putting It in out of-the way places, but it was invariably found In Louis’ room, wherever 1 had hidden It. When Soslmo came up from the ship by which lie and h s master had taken a trip to a neighboring island, he put Lou's’ valise down on the veranda, and carefully abstracted from Ills mouth the precious stud he had carried there for safety. 1 g: e up then, and the stud became Louis' own. "One day I went Into Louis' room, and found him and S- - no t• ry busy cleaning up and sorting papers. “‘Did you tc|] Su,-.mo to do th s?' I asked. “'No.' said Louis, v ’. amw full | of books. ‘He Pld me" " Another day the c< -k was away, nnd i I,ouls. who was busy writing, took his j meal- in h's r>Hun.

Ordinary wire, even though of small diameter, is drawn through holes in steel plates but, on account of the wear, such plates cannot be used in making the hair wire, The Taunton factory mentioned uses drilled diamonds for that purpose.

Mr. Witmer Stone refuses to accept the idea of Gatke that feathers can actually change their color without moulting, unless they are bleached or worn off. Be also concludes that the annual moulting at the emf of the breeding season is a physi doT- al necessity and is common to all birds; whereas the spring moult and striking changes of plumage effected by abrasion are not physiological necessities, but depend in extent upon the height of development of coloration in the adult plum ige, and do not necessarily bear any relation to the systematic position of tbe spe ies. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star." you are indeed beautiful, but not half so lovely as the bloom on the cheeks of all young ladies who use Glenn’s Sulphur Soap.

How Czar Nicholas Proponed. Russians are very fond of telling tbe story’ of an answer given to the emperor whan his majesty proposed to his future wife. “The emperor, my father, has commanded me to make you the offer of my hand and heart,” was the czarowitz’s quaint way of putting it. “And my grandmother, the queen,” replied the lady, “has commanded me to accept the offer of your hand; your heart I will take myself.” It is said on good authority the emperor is passionately devoted to his wife, and that she is equally fond of him.

Shape of tbe Moon. We never see but one side of the moon, but judging from the side presented to our view it is the general opinion that the moon is at least spherical.
