MRS. MANGES ESCAPES JPERATION How She Was Saved From Surgeon’s Knife by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Mogadore, Ohio.—“ The first two years I was married I suffered so much from

female troubles and bearing down pains that I could not stand on my feet long enough todo my work. The doctor said I would have to undergo an operation, but my husband wanted me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound first I took

three bottles and it made me well and strong and I avoided a dreadful operation. I now have two fine healthy children, and I cannot say too much about what Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound has done for me.” — Mrs. Lee Manges, R. F. D. 10, Mogadore, Ohio. Why will women take chances with an operation or drag out a sickly, half- - hearted existence,missing three-fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ? For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has restored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ailments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc. If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. : The less a man knows about women the more wisdom he has.

ODD C I TY TRADES

Sawdust Wholesaler Who Handles Refuse of Mills. Men Make a Specialty of Putting New Faces on Old Stores and Dwelling Houses—Role of Chimney Expert. ■ New York. —Among the occupations of New York city are many »of an uni usual nature, which could not exist I elsewhere than in a center of vast population. Specialized occupations these are, which demand a huge population from which to draw their patronage. New York is the city of specialized trades. Innumerable articles which in smaller cities could be but a by-product of some more general business find here a sufficient mafket to make their separate existence possible. There is the sawdust man, for instance, who in New York is a very important business man. The wholesale sawdust dealer advertises all kinds of sawdust and requests that you will telephone your needs so that there may be an early delivery. It used to be that anyone who wanted sawdust went to the sawmill and asked for as much as he wanted. There was only one kind of sawdust in the good old days and that was an unimportant product which anybody could have for the asking. Now the sawdust wholesaler will tell you that sawdust is a very valuable product and that the sawdust business is offering greater opportunities every day. There are about sixty kinds of sawdust on the market, so says the sawdust expert, and all of them have their stated uses in the realm of trade. Mahogany sawdust is just as aristocratic and elegant a product as mahogany . furniture. It is useful for smoking—not as tobacco. Mahogany sawdust is employed because of the good, clear kind of work that it does in smoking hams, fish, etc. All the way from the preparation of food to the polishing of precious metals, ranges the usefulness of sawdust The hardwood dusts are used for polishing in some jewelers’ shops and cheaper sawdusts are used for polishing less valuable metal work. In packing and making cushions, for the covering of floors and in the fur business I sawdust is useful. There are several firms Jp New York ! who have no other care in this world ■ than to discover the dark secrets of j why chimneys smoke. They don’t bother to attend to the big buildings, either. They are almost entirely devoted to solving the secrets of the domestic hearth. Business is plentiful, too, for nowadays everybody who builds a new house in the country or the suburbs of New York wants at least one open fire in it, and, strange to say, there are more new chimneys that smoke than there are new chimneys that don’t smoke. So there you are with an excellent opportunity for the smoking chimney doctor —and all directly in the New York zone. In less closely populated regions the new householder with a smoking chimney is obliged to consult an architect, a masor or an oldest inhabitant—usuai-

RATS MAKE TRIPS BY WIRES Rodents Travel Overhead on Their j Foraging Raids in Order to Escape Cats. ' «, Huntingdon, Pa—Residents living near Fifth and Church streets have been astonished by the spectacle of twenty or twenty-five rats walking on electric wires. The rodents make their home in a stable of the Adams Express company, and every evening, as soon as

* ? ly with results much more doubtful than when the chimney specialist is called in. In line with the chimney expert is the man who devotes his life to defective hot water pipes. He calls himself a domestic engineer, but hastily asserts, on being interviewed, that he isn’t intending any interference with the domestic relations court and that his domestic engineering ceases when the hot water pipes are in perfect order and there are no general heating repairs to be made in the flat. He is a specialist in these two kinds of work and he is on tap for emergency servive all the time. Useful in the world of business as well as that of the home is the firm which takes care of floors. Making over store fronts is an industry which has found so many patrons in New York that a number of firms have found it profitable to set aside all other forms of building and devote themselves wholly to helping New York merchants improve the appearance of their establishments by putting a new face on the matter. All classes of merchants, from the small dealer in the suburb to the great dry goods firms which do millions of dollars’ worth of business in a year, indulge in the luxury of a new kind of front to tksir business homes every once in so often. The new store front builder is also an architect and his art demands all the taste, discretion and sense of appropriateness which are required for the erection of an entire new building, with perhaps a greater degree of ingenuity. In line with the new store front enterprises there are certain firms of architects which have made a reputation for their ability in the making over of house fronts in city houses, so that, while the remodeled residences fit perfectly into their place in the city block, they at tfie same time are greatly improved in appearance and are given an originality of aspect which enables the occupants of the mansion and the friends of the family to recognize a residence with- ; out referring to the number on the transom.

DOES STONE HIDE FORTUNE?

British Savant Makes Archaeological Find in West Donegal—Great Interest Is Aroused. I Belfast. —Great interest has been aroused in archaeological circles by the discovery made by Prof. Edward • Spencer Dodgson of Jestfs college, Oxford.

RATTLERS ARE LOVING PETS So Says “Lonesome Jack” Allman, Who Has Caught 18,000 In California. Los Angeles.—Ever since Lonesome Jack Allman was seven years old he has been “foolin’ ’round” snakes. He has captured his 18,000th snake. “The rattlesnake is the most intelligent of all reptiles and the most affectionate," Jack declared. “After they have been fanged they are the most desirable of snake pets. They can be made to come to you just like a pet dog or cat.” Jack and his brother Sherley made a journey through the mountains the past week in quest of snakes and brought back several large rattlers. “I found out that rattlers were thicker in the mountains this summer than they have been for years.” he said.., “The season seems to have been just right to bring them out. A forest ranger told me that he had killed more this summer than in the last five years pift together. “I have been bitten by rattlers seven times in my life, but Always had permanganate Os potash with me and saved myself from serious harm. I promptly split the wound with my knife and apply the antidote before I the poison has had time to get into ; my system.” When Jack returned with the reptiles he entertained his friends with an exhibition of snake dentistry, in which he extracted the fangs from several rattlers. “It isn’t generally known that a rattlesnake has seven sets of fangs,” *Jack continues. “There is one pair of main fangs, one pair of reserve fangs and five pairs of fangs which float in the poison sac. If the main fangs are removed and one of the other pairs left in the mouth they will very short- I ly grow into position to be used. When I am traveling in the mountains and see a snake track in the dust I can examine it and tell what kind of a snake made it, which way it wras traveling and about how long it has been since it passed by. I have a call that will, attract rattlesnakes to me if they are near. I discovered the sound accidentally and keep it a secret.” Finds S3OO Diamond in Oysters.

TO WEAR BYZANTINE CROWN King Constantine of Greece Will Be Hailed as “Augustus” at the Coronation. Vienna.—An invitation has reached Emperor Francis Joseph to participate as an honored guest at the splendid and unique coronation ceremonies in Athens next May, when King Constantine of Greece and his royal spouse will be crowned. The feature of the ceremony will lie in the fact that the Byzantine imperial diadem of old will be placed on the brow of the ruler of a small but ambitious kingdom, and that with the crowning will go the assumption of the i ancient title of “Augustus.” The very crown of the old Byzantina .empire, kept hitherto in the monasA. I W King Constantine. tery of Mount Athos, will be used on this occasion, with the purple robe of old. Simultaneous with the coronatioi festivities there will be a fortnight’*’ athletic games in the stadium at Athens and historical plays will be given in the Acropolis. Austrians are wondering how Russia will like this assumption of successorship of Byzantium.

i and its peculiarities attracted the savant’s attention, an.d he obtained permission to have it removed to Gortahork Gaelic college, where it attracted the attention of many teachers and students. Some of the markings have been deciphered, one group being interpreted as signifying soul or 1 spirit. Lut no further light on the message can be obtained pending the ar- • rival of experts. The markings resemble Ogham, a peculiar alphabet of straight lines used by the ancient Irish. Some parts of the surface of the stone bear resemblance to the 1 body of a petrified fish.

\fMORIES HIS FIRST TIME UNDER FIRE Rather Hot Initiation of a New York Boy at Batchelder’s Creek—Carried Supplies to Front. On February 1, 1864, I did my first duty as a soldier, the detail being a corporal and three men of the 12th N. y. Cavalry in a swampy pine forest bordering the Trent and Neuso rivers in North Carolina. The duties j of the cavalry at that point—Batcheli der’s Creek, about nine miles from Newbern —were of the easiest kind, writes Frank Salter of Oak Hill, Kan., in the National Tribune. At night we were withdrawn to the east side of the creek, leaving a corporal and three infantrymen on the west side of the bridge—the planks of I which were all removed save one—to give the alarm should the enemy make his appearance. The squad consisted of about 30 men of the 132nd N. Y. and the detail of cavalry already mentioned. About 3 o’clock in the morning the rebels came in in a hurry, and their ear-splitting yell brought every man to his post—3o men to 10,000, and only a narrow strip of water between! True, the creek was deep, tfie banka steep and the night dark. I have always felt surprised that the rebels did not know of some point I along the creek‘that would afford easy passage. However, these few I men, strengthened by two or three i companies, held these thousands at bay till the sun was many hours high. Soon after daylight our captain arrived. and for a time we were kept waiting for orders about half a mile in the rear of the fighting, but the hot work they were engaged in soon exhausted their ammunition, and as the enemy were felling trees to effect a passage it was not deemed wise to drive an ammunition wagon nearer the scene of action, so about half a dozen of us were detailed to carry supplies to the front. As each box contained about 1,000 cartridges, and the sand was ankle-deep, it was no light task, and my comrades fell behind, some dropping their loads and sitting on them as if the occasion was not urgent. I pushed ahead and soon came to a bend in the road about 50 yards from the bridge. As I turned into the bend—my load was getting heavy—l could see men on my right clinging very close to the ground and facing west, and on my left the branches dropped from a grove of saplings. Strange sounds —“zip,” “zip”—struck my ear, for it was my first time under fire. As I approached the breastworks Lieutenant Zenettl of the 132nd walked from behind them and came toward me, and when about three yards I separated us he was struck in the head, not moving a muscle after he fell. My load was soon in possession of the gallant infantrymen, and, having no further orders, I joined the string of men who were trying to discover the “other fellows” on the opposite side of the creek. But we were not allowed to stay there long. Fifteen minutes afterwards a rebel yell told us that they had succeded in felling trees to form a bridge a little north of us, in spite of the fierce resistance, and that it was time for us to be moving. The obstinate defense of the gallant New York boys gave the authorities time to get reinforcements from Morehead City and Beaufort, but the numerous little mounds in a small space opposite the temporary bridge bore mute testimony at what cost it was done. On Crossing a River. Lincoln’s reply to a Springfield clergyman, who asked him what was to be his policy on the slavery question, was most apt: “You know the old Methodist preacher out home?” said Lincoln. “Well, once a young Methodist was worrying about Fox river, and expressing fears that he should be prevented from fulfilling some of his appointments by a freshet in the river. “ ‘Young man,’ said the old preacher, ‘I have always made it a rule in my life not to cross Fox river till 1 got to it.* “And,” said the president, “I am not going to worry myself over the slavery question till I get to it.” Cheers for the Ladies. One Sunday three ladies called upon a certain general at the Union camp at Savannah. He stuck his head out of the flap of his tent, and whispered to his orderly: “Three chairs for the ladies.” The orderly got up on a box and shouted to the boys in camp: “Three cheers for the ladies.” The boys took it up with a will. Diplomacy. One day a huge Irish batteryman, stood in the cyowd at the sutler’s at Nashville. Presently a little Irishman • rushed up, flung his coat on the ground, threw his hat beside It, and, jumping on them, yelled in a high voice, quivering with rage: “Oi wud loike to find th’ mon that b’ate up poor Tim Murphy.” The big Irishman tapped his chest. “Oi’m th’ mon,” he bellowed /hoarsely. The little Irishman whirled around. “Gee,” he piped. “Ye did hiih up foine.” “Don’t Stop for Me.” In the fight at Great Bethel, Orderly Sergeant Goodfellow of Colonel Alien's regiment, was mortally wounded. He handed his musket to a comrade. “Oh,” said he, “I guess I've got to go.” "Oh, don’t mind me, boys,” he continued, “go on with the fight; don’t stop for me:” and pressing away those who attempted to support him, he sank down upon the ground. Just at that instant bls colonel passed, and looking up to him he gasped, “Goodbye, Colonel 1” Colonel Allen turned ghastly white as he observed IL-
