MBS. CURTIS, NEW YORK, Tells Her Experience With Ovaritis. A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with an occasional ehooting 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, you have it fixed at once ; why not pay the same respect to your own body ? Do you live miles away from a doc-

tor ? Then that is al 11 he more re a son why you should at- W* tend to yourself at / •* once, or you will L soon be on the flat / of your back. Y - You need c not, you ought not to let your- ’ self go, \ when one of your own sex holds outthehelp-^ ing hand to you, and ’

will advise you without money and without price. 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 leucorrhoea, ' 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. Annie Curtis, Ticonderoga, N. Y. Wa Bqttw ■ Hires Rootbeer on a sweltering hot KyKsVa day is highly esseu- | tial to comfort and health.

To Tell of the Heathen. Rew. D. JV. Lelacheur, the noted missionary to China, is visiting this country, and will while here deliver a few lectures on what he knows about mission work in the land of Li Hung Chang. Mr. Lelacheur is the head missionary of the Christian Alliance for China, and he relates a few facts concerning the Chinese Empire that are astounding to Americans. For example. he say® that there are in the interior of China ncit less than 1,700 walled .A ^tz X 7 * KEV. D. W. LELACHEUR. cities, many of them having a population greater than that of New York. The empire has 100,000 towns and innumerable villages. There are 2,351 missionaries at work in China, but their efforts are inappreciable on the great mass of humanity they have to work with. Each missionary's share of China's 400.000,000 population Is abchit 170,000. For the past six years Mr. Lelacheur lias been traveling through China visiting one of the missions after another. He is the secretary and treasurer of the alliance in the Orient, and is quite familiar with the work of Christianizing the heathen of that ]»art of the world. His travois take him into remote China, of which the outside world hen's little. Tiie work of the alliance is absolutely notndumoninational. It pays no attention to the sectaries and cares little for the disputed points of dogma tic Christian ity. The purixise of the alliance ds to spread the simple truths of Christianity among those who are unfamiliar with them. Mr. Lelacheur's lectures are thrillingly interesting. Badger Fish Story. The drummer from Milwaukee was explaining to a group of interested listeners in the hotel lobby how one of his inventive friends had hit upon a scheme to catch fish. “He lias fixed up an incandescent electric light,” remarked the drummer, “which can be made to burn under water. At night he goes out to Delaware Lake, sinks his electric light to the bottom and turns on a storage battery current. The whole bottom of the lake becomes distinctly visible around the light. The fish swim up to the lamp, and it is an easy matter to hook them with an ordinary line, using no bait nt all. All the angler has to do is to pick out the fish he wants, sink the hook under him, give a jerk and pull him In. It is great sport. And it is particularly advantageous, too. because it enables the angler to fish for just the game he wants. If he is after bass lie pulls up nothing but bass. If he prefers pickerel he catches nothing but pickerel. And he is also able to choose the size of the fish he hooks. Great scheme, isn't it?” ’< “And all this happens nt Delaware Lake?” inquired a sad-eyed drummer I from Cleveland. “Yes, sir,” said the Milwaukee man. “It is going on there now every night. 1 ' “That accounts for it then.” remarked the Clevelander. “I spent last Sunday at Delaware Lake myself. Had pretty fair luck. And, do you know, every blamed bass we caught had on a pair of blue goggles!” Paul Revere’s Weathercock. — You remember, of course, all about Paul Revere and his wonderful ride: “Listen, my children, and you shall hear Os the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” Well, some workmen have just been taking down a funny old weather cock from the steeple of an ancient Methodist Church in Watertown, Mass. It was over two feet high, with a pewter body and a copper tail, and tradition says that it was made by PauLßevere when he was a young man. If will be preserved by the historical society of the town, and if you ever make a visit there you may pay your respects to Paul Revere's weather cock.

FIND LOADS OF GOLD. MINERS RETURN FROM ALASKA WITH FORTUNES. Wealth Awaits the Efforts of Darinsr and Hardy Differs—Stories Are Not Overdrawn—Corroborative Accounts of the Richness of Clondyke Claims. Tales of Richness Told. More stories of the golden wonders of the arctic mining camp in Alaska are being toid by the returning miners. The stories of the great gold find are surrounded with the frozen breath of winter, for the new gold field is almost within reach of the arctic circle, and the miners are snow and ice bound for six months in the year. Fortunes await the daring and the hardy who have money enough to buy a season s provisions and strength enough to withstand the extreme cold. Those who were in the gold region of Alaska have been able to withstand everything, and are now returning to warmer and more civilized climes with plenty of money. In the summer tiie miners find the climate delightful. Those who do not care to fight the rigors of the journey over the divide north of Juneau reach gold fields by the steamer the Yukon river. But the^ is one in which all the i< g winter are combined ajpnio-i seek some of the conveniences of cities. The miners who hate returned to San Francisco and Seattle have not exhausted their tales of the wonderful richness of the arctic mining camp in tiie Clondyke district. They are raising their voices, however, in solemn warning to those who woul* go to the gold region without sufficient means and plenty of supplies. Later and more authentic news places the amount of treasure brought down from the Clondyke by the steamer Portland at I..H h».(mh i. and there is good reason to believe that the sum was nearer .*2 J M H 1,1 >i m ». Every man was ordered to place his gold dust in the ship’s safe, but this was not done. Many of the miners, perhaps half of tlw m. secrett'd their dust in blankets and satchels, which were taken either to staterooms, or, as in some instances, were thrown carelessly about the ship. Others deposited small bags of gold in the ship’s treasure box and curried far larger amounts in their valises tucked away in stateroom bunks. Clarence J. Berry, one of the Clondyke kings, brought down at l< ast not a emit of which the Portland had on record. This statement is made on the authority of Cupt. William Kidston. Story of a Fortunate Miner. One of th<> most interesting of the many Clondyke stories C told by William Stanley. He is .*><! year-' old and ha- a family <>f seven < hildren. When he left Seattle for the Y'ukon a year ago Inst March he was poor. One of the sous eared for the family, while another and the father sought fortune in the Alaskan placer*. Mr. Stanley made the statement that he would not take Sl.imhi.imhi for his |><>"es sion on the Clondyke. In less than three I months he ami his partner took out Sl2*h- ! (mhi from ilaims No. 2.5 and 2(1. 11l 1 1 rado creek. This gr< at sum of money, incredible as it may seem, simply represents the yield of prosjwet holes shafts sunk here and there in order to find l„slroek to ascertain the actual value of the elnim. They have actually in sight on these tv.o projiertics over Sl jmmi.immi. They are 5<K)-foot claims, and every prospect hide gives up dirt running over Sl.immi to the lineal toot. Stanley and bis partners, the Wonb n brothers, also own claims N s. 53 ami 5-1. El Dorado, known to contain equally high paying dirt. They also pur-cha-ed fer S4s.(*m» rush a half interest in claim N". 32. El Dorado, and tin y also own valuable claims on Bear gub h. Last Chance guh h ami Indian creek. The pans on the claims run from S’-ih* to Slt.aO. । Fire pans taken at random y ielded $750. Advice to Gold-?eeker». Miners who have returned advise and ( urge those who contemplate going to the । Yukon not to think of taking in less than ' one ton of food and plenty of clothing. I While it is a poor man’s country, yet the hardships and privations to be encounter- | cd by inexperienced persons unused to ' frontier life are certain to result in much I suffering. They should go prepared with : at least a year’s supplies. There are at present about 3,500 people in the country, and that number is about all that can be accommodated this winter. Provisions are high, as it costs 10 to 15 cents a pound to lan’d goods at Dawson City, and it is impossible to get more provisions in this year than will supply the present population. If miners rush up there this sumnier, unless they take with them their own supplies, they will suffer great hardships. The fare to Dawson City from San Francisco is $l5O, and it will cost at least SSOO to transport supplies for one man. The first discovery of gold on the Clondyke was in the middle of August, 1806, by George Cormack, on a creek emptying into the Clondyke on the south called by the Indians Bonanza. Ho found $l6O t<> I the pan on a high rim, and, after making the find known as Forty Miles, went back with two Indians ami took out $1,400 in three weeks with three sluice boxes. The creek was soon staked from one end to the other, and all the small gulches were also staked and recorded. This is probably the riche-t placer ever known in the world. The miners take out gold so fast, ami there is so much of it, that they do not have time to weigh it with gold scales. They use steelyards. News of Minor Note, Bellamy Storer, the new T’nited States minister to Belgium, arrived at his post Thursday. There being no prosjiect of work in Chili several thousand Chilian laborers may emigrate to Brazil. The Bradley-Martins are said to have purchased Barney Barnato’s unfinished palace in London. Robert Ainsworth of 527 North Francisco street, Chicago, was killed by thieves in New Orleans. The German exports to the United States during the last few months show, w ith few exceptions, a large increase over those of last year. A great strike of the engineering trades is on in England. Both maste/s and men have been preparing for the conflict and it pronrscs to be lengthened. Two Ch< rokee freedmen and one woman were shot and killed by I’aul Elliott, a white roan, near Hayden, I. T. Jealousy over the woman was the cause.

BICfCLE FIGURES. Some Interesting; Facta Regarding the Output of Crescent Bicycles in 1896 by the Western Wheel Works, of Chicago, 111. *dea of this article is to convey to the reader a conception of the enormous amount ot raw material consumed during a season in supplying the demand for one of the most popular bicycles made. Ihe 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 1896 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. Paul if placed in a straight line. The spokes 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 spokee, spoke nipfdes 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. Ihey used 35 miles of steel for crank axles, wheel axles band pedal axles, and ID miles of steel for beat 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 feet high. 6.00 G feet PHi^n^*fhan Pike’s Peak and about the । height of Mount Elias in Alaska, whose summit has never yet been readied by ■ man. If placed in a straight line, side by side, these rims would reach a distance of 72L, miles, and if th<^_tires were fitted they would make a line 7714 miles longer. The steel forgings used for the crank hangers on the ‘96 wheels weighed, in the rough, 113 8-10 tons, and when finished, 21 9-10 tons, showing a complete waste of 91 9-10 tons in drilling and finishing. It rcijuind 32.081 square feet of sheet steel to make the (ffescent hollow tooth sprockets, and 21,876 square feet for the steel stampings of the head and seat post clanijis, or in all enough flat steel to corer an area of D ( acres. There were used lo miles of cork grips. 10H miles of finished hubs, and 28 miles of steel wire to pin frames together before brazing. The finished chains, end to end. Would roach 70 miles, ami the different pieces of which they are composed would reach 237t»j miles, or in all 307*4 miles, the distnm-e from t’hi'ngo to Cincinnati. The bearing* of 181(6 Cre*i-ents required ■ 13,t(tV7,300 steel balls, which, if placed ; in n straight line, side by side, would j reach a distance of A.'Aj miles. To la. o । the chain and <ln -* guards on the ladies’ Crescents manufactured in 1896 required I 431,1.5 t yards of c.rd. or 2IGLj miles, enough to allow n »mnll U>y to stand on the top of the Auditorium tower in Chicago ami fly his kite where the p^iple in Dos Moines. lowa, could mv it. To supply Cresoetits sold in 1896 required 1.0 m- . bolts, nnd Liss.(l7s nuts, having an one-quarter miles of spring steel were us« d In thom.inufacture of saddb* springs, lAd the saddle and tool I>ngs together used tip 177.883 square feet, or over 4 seres of bather. The total Weight of the ; complete bicycle* was 2.352.812 |smnds, or 1.191 tops To crate these Liev -les reqmrisi 1.'235.710 square f« t of lumber made up in pic .os, whi- h would make a distance of I.E'D ml’, s or mere than the distam-e from New York to Chicago; 72.718.668 separate nnd distinct pie. • - enI tered into the construction of ’W ('res cents, ami if nil were placet! in a straight | line, cud to end. they would reach from New York to s >me distnu in the Pm ■ < >cenii west of San Francisco.- Crescent LW’!etin.

Experience has taught the most successful hunters that it pays to always use ammunition made by the Winchester Repeating Arms (Jo.. New Haven. Ct., as it is unequalled for accuracy, reliability, uniformity and strong shooting qualities. Winchester ammunition can l>> bought everywhere, us it is in great demand all over the world.

BEAUTY IS BLOOD DEEP. PURE, HEALTHY BLOOD MEANS BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION. Intestinal Microbes Poison the Blood Wlien 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 o pure and free from bile, microbes, disease germs and other impurities. Cascarets Candy Cathartic will do it for you quickly, surely, naturally. They never grip nor gripe, but make the liver lively, prevent sour stomach, kill disease germs, tone up the bowels, purify the blood and make all things right, as they should be. Then beauty comes of itself nnd to stay. Buy nnd try Casearets to-day. It's what they do, not what we say they do, that will please you. All druggists, 10c. 25c or 50c, or mailed for pri<‘>.
