A Wonderful Statement From Mrs. McGillas te Mrs. Pinkham. ‘ I think it my duty, dear Mrs. Pinkham, to tell you what your wonderful Compound has done for me. I was dreadfully ill—the doctors said

they could cure me but failed to do so. I gave up in despair I and took to my bed. I had dreadful pains in my heart, J fainting- 'fa spells, sparks before my i my eyes—and some-

times I would get so blind, I could not see for several minutes. I could not stand very long without feeling sick and vomiting. I could not breathe a long breath without screaming, my heart pained so. I also had female weakness, inflammation of ovaries, painful menstruation, displacement of the womb, itching of the external parts, and ulceration of the womb. I have had all these complaints. The pains I had to stand were something dreadful. My husband told me to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicine, which I did, and after taking it for a -while, -was cured. No other kind of medicine for me as long as you make Compound. I hope every woman who suffers will take your Compound and he cured. —Mrs. J. S. McGillas, 113 Kilburn avenue, Rockford. 111. S *.

The pistol ought to have beside it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and ( J will be, probably, until everybody has tested ©p Zfjj the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They /gj vW treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy.

Famous Spanish Naval Officer. Rear Admiral Navarro, who is directing the movements of the Spanish war • boats in the naval demonstration that is being made at Havana, is an old and an able sailor, lie got his education in the classics and in the art of I naval warfare in the Spanish naval । academy at San Fernando. In 18G0 Signor Navarro was commissioned a lieutenant in the navy. His first service was in the war with the Mooris of Morocco. Navarro was detailed to protect the cargoes that were sent across ww iff Oi Ac SI 1 .Bi REAR ADMIRAL NAVARRO. the Straits of Gibraltar to the Spanisii army, then under eomniaiul of Gen. Prim. Ho remained on duty there until the war was brought to a close in ISGI. After that the Lieutenant w; s sent out to the Spanish naval station at Manila in the Philippine Islands. Navarro was assigned to service in Cuba during the last rebellion in the island. He gradually worked his way up in the navy until he had reached the rank of a rear admiral. He bccami' the commander of the naval station of the Antilles on the death of Hear Ad mir.il Delgado Parejo, who was drowni‘d off Havana in the sinking of the cruiser Sanchez Rarcastegui. It wa« Admiral Navarro who presidtul over the court-martial trial of the tililmsieri at tin l Competitor, and who signed tin j death warrant in that affair. Current CondemuiliotiH.

Germany no longer leads the world as she did in this art. A proposed building law in Boston prohibits tlie erection of any building exceeding seventy feet in height unless it occupies a whole block owned by tlie same person and surrounded on all sides by public streets, and excepting public buildings, grain elevators, towers, spires and chimneys and buildings already contracted for or in process of construction. A 4-year-old infant prodigy was exhibited recently before tlie Berlin Anthropological Society. He is a son of a butcher and at 2 years of age learned to read without assistance. Jie knows the dates of the birth and death of all the German emperors and many other noted persons, and their birthplaces. tlie chief cities of the world, and all the great battles. He can read anything in print and can talk intelligently about it, but finds it hard to learn to write and draw, dislikes music and hates pianofortes. Tho boy is physically well developed though not robust.

There is little chance for fraud or complaint in the matter of conducting auction sales in Japan. Although there arc not nearly so many salt's held there as in this country, officials have away of conducting them much similar to our method of voting. "When an auction is to take phice the goods or property is advertised for two weeks ahead. On tlie day of the sale each bidder writes his name and address on a slip of paper, which he carefully places in a box. When all the bids tire in the auctioneer opens the box in the presence of the spectators, and. after examining all, the goods are declared the property of the highest bidder. By this system the American custom of owners bidding in property or goods would almost entirely disappear. An Astute Jurist.

The Most Attractive Trait. If I were asked to name what to m.V mind is the most telling attribute of character," said the sagacious woman, I should say—poise. Really, I know oi nothing more effective, either as regards the individual or those with whom she comes in contact. It appeals to people, somehow, far more than almost any other trait. Beauty, cleverness, amiability, sympathy all these are very well in their way; but I doubt if any of them ever prove half as potent as poise, the manifestation of a perfect equilibrium of mind and soul. I suppose it's largely because so few of ns possess it. We always admire and envy what doesn't belong to us, you know. Placidity of temperainent is, indeed, all that is rare, particularly when it's a schooled ami disciplined placidity. not merely a cowHke Calin, but a cool repose significant of great reserve strength and force. So much to be desired is tin' quality, ■khowever, that many undiscerning persons are willing to accept the imita■tion for the real; in other words, the I‘cow-like calm’ often passes for the reBpose. That's why stupidity is so often I put up with, even looked up to. I’eople I still cling to the erroneous if long es|tablished notion that still waters inj variably run deep and think because lone says nothing it is because she has la great deal to keep silent about. About |the only leg that conceit has to stand Jupon is that it is often mistaken for Lpolse. The unek'ver observer sees the i supreme self-satisfaction and takes it for granted that there must be something to be satisfied about, so she accordingly respects and envies the pos sessor. Y'es, poise is a quality that in its real form or its counterfeit presentiment is all that is appealing to the many of us who are continually losing our balance of individuality. We long to acquire it and we are naturally drawn to anyone who merely appears to possess it. It is one of the most attractive traits on record." New York Evening Sun. Largest in the World.
