The northern race rot spirit has again broken out—this time in Indianapolis, and, Sunday night when a band of offsies assaulted the colored people who were in Riverside park in that city, from accounts of the affair there was absolutely no provocation on the part or the colored people for the assault and they were caught unaware and entirely by surprise. The colored people, men, women and children were pelted with clubs, bats and stones and several color people were severely injured. Being Sunday night they were unarmed and entirely unprepared to meet such an attack. These unprovoked race affairs are getting entirely too frequent and something must be done—and that soon bring them to an end. New Negro Bank Opens. The Solvent Bank and Trust Company grew open its doors to the public Monay. Long before the hour of opening the people had began to gather in the building waited for the clock to strike one, at which time the bank opened. e. Grant was the first to make a deft. There was over 3,000 people, white colored, present, and nearly $10,000 was deposited.

They have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man has to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic. The normal man all over the world is a hunter or a fisher a banker or a man of letters or some silly thing. If so, he has to be a wise hunter or a wise banker. But nobody with the smallest knowledge of professional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to have an eye on everything.—G. K. Chesterton in the London Daily News. Indian Remedy for Coughs A decoction of cherry bark and spruce bark, boiled and strained, is an old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by venders of patent medicines. The white trapper nowadays dissolves spruce gum in alcohol, adds a certain proportion of the spirits to the bark mixture and sweetens the whole with maple sugar. Perhaps the most experienced chemist could not prepare a better cough syrup than this makes. Shylock's Prized Turquoise We alt remember reading of poor Shylock's despair and indignation upon learning that his turquise ring had been exchanged by the gay young Jessica for a chattering monkey, when he tells us: "It was my turquise; I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor; I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys." Which passage shows the antiquity of the turquise as a love-pledge. First Paper Made in England. First Paper Made in England. The first English paper maker was John Tate, who founded a mill at Hertford at the close of the fifteenth century. Tate made a fine thin paper, having for a watermark an eight pointed star within a double circle. White coarse paper was made by Sir John Speilman, a German at Dartford in 1580, and here the first English paper mills on a large scale were erected. Till 1690, however, when William III. passed an act to encourage the home manufacture of white paper, all the best paper for writing and printing was imported from Holland and France. Wargrobe for an Ocean Trip The day was not very long ago when the wardrobe necessary for crossing over to England was discussed with as great earnestness as to the preparation of a trousseau. Now with a couple of business suits, a heavy coat, a soft hat and a steamer trunk full of linen the regular traveler is ready for the voyage. There is always one man who wears his evening clothes at dinner and the curious thing about him is that he always looks as if he had never worn them before. But there is usually only one of this type, just as there is one of the man who appears on deck the last day out with a silk hat.—Outing. Why Du Chaillu Waa a Bachelor. The late Paul du Cailu was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 853 women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'if I should marry one of these beauties of yours there would be 852 jealous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all.' That was a little too strong for me, however, as I have never had such a field to choose from since I am still a bachelor."

Henry. Edward L. Henry, the Academician, is considerably over sixty years old, but his youthful smooth face, aside from his gray hair, has deserved many persons. He is an inveterate joker, and also exceedingly absent minded. This is an actual experience he had at the Century club not long ago. It was a reception, and Mr. Henry was very busy talking to a fellow artist, when something irritated his ankle. He stooped down, lifted the edge of the bottom of one of the other man's trouser legs, calmly scratched the other man's ankle just above the patent leather tie, and replacing the garment, went on talking, wholly oblivious of his action and apparently perfectly satisfied. Time of Stopping a Train. At a recent convention of airbrakemen an interesting report was presented showing how the distance required for the stopping of trains had been reduced by the new high-speed brake. A train running eighty miles an hour was stopped in 2,240 feet by the high-speed brake at 110 pounds, where ordinary pressure of seventy pounds took exactly half a mile to bring it to a stand. Other train speeds and reductions in stopping distances were these: Fifty miles an hour, from 840 to 700 feet; fifty-five miles, 1,030 feet; sixty-five miles, 1,635 to 1,300 feet; seventy miles, 2,010 to 1,530 feet; seventy miles, 2,295 to 1,840 feet.

The attempt at lynching of a Negro in the quitt little sururban burg of Rosedale, Wednesday seems like a joke—but the fact that the deputy city marshal cut the rope, one end of which was fastened to a bross beam of a telegraph pole and the other to the neck of a Negro—certainly looks as if something along the line of lynching was to be done.

Adelina Patti has made her final tour in the United States ts found in her recent criticisms of the American people. This lady, who once lived down on Grand street West, but now dwells in a castle in Wales, largely owing to the generosity of the citizens of this city, has lately dis- covered that we haven't any appre- ciation of art, cookery, music or good manners. This is an ill return for all the complimentary words we have ut- tered about her, not to mention the dollars we have paid to hear her voice. Although she was born in Mad- rid im February, 1843, she came here with her parents as a child and grew up among the people of New York. Her brother, Carol, used to lead the orchestra at the Grand Opera House, during the Jim Fisk era of French opera-bouffe. Mme. Patti's last tour of this coun- try was not financially successful—a circumstance that may account for her change of heart. The lady, however, insisted upon receiving her contract money to the last dollar. The im presarlo was almost ruined, although the fault was the diva’s own. She couldn’t sing! Her voice had lost its fine quality.

She has | not found it necessary to use an ear trumpet as yet, but it is dificult at times to catch all that friends say. Anything said in an undertone is com. pletely lost to her—that 1s, it was un- til she hit upon a novel idea. While visiting a friend recently the hostess had pitched her voice almost to the straining point and her vocal organs were getting tired, when “Aunt Sis," as she is affectionately termed, interrupted her by saying: “Please, dearie, hand me my lace head searf.” “Do you feel a draught?” anxiously inquired the hostess, handing over the mantilla. “Not the slightest,” said “Aunt Sis” as she adjusted the head covering. “Then why do you wear it? It will make your head tender.” “Oh, I think not. You see, the scart acts as a sort of sounding board. It keeps out all other sounds except those of the human voice, When I wear this T can hear even a whisper T can’t explain why it is, but it is so, nevertheless. I have had lots of fut over it, too. My boys have been tak ing advantage of my infirmity to whis per to each other. I didn’t hear them efore I began to wear this scarf, but now I know lots of their secrets and they don’t know it. It’s a good joke on them.” Fish Know Colors, “Fish know colors,” said a keeper at the New York Aquarium the other day. “They can distinguish between red and blue, or white and green, as well as you and I. Wait and I'll prove it” He led the way to a tank in which were some red and some yellow and some green fish, and in it were arti- ficial grottoes painted respectively red and yellow and green, The keeper roiled the water with his hand, and the fish fled, the red ones to the red grotto, the yellow ones to the yellow grotto, and the green ones to the green grotto, “They know which color shields them from observation best,” said he. “Now I'll change the grottoes, so as to Prove my statement a second time.” He moved the grottoes to different Places in the tanks and again roiled the water. The same thing followed as before. Each fish darted lke a shot to the grotto of its own color, where it knew it would be best concealed. ‘ hate Gone eee: Everything that I'made I used to bring ou, Was {0% song, why, then ‘twas @ song to sing to you, ‘Was it a story, to you I was telling my story.

Pali Mall Gazette. Fate of the Old Presidente. in the autumn of 1901 Mrs. W. of Roxbury spent a few weeks with her daughter in Nova Scotia, returning home shortly before President McKin- ley was shot, bringing her niece, Bes- sie F., aged 6 years, home with her. Of course the child heard a good deal of talk in the house about the shoot- ing of the president. One day Bessie sald to her aunt: “Aunt Minnie, who is king of the United States?” Her aunt replied: “We have no kings in the United States like you do in your British country. We have presidents. We have an election every four years and elect a new one.” “Oh, yes,” the child replied; “and then they shoot the old ones, don’t they?”"—Boston Herald. New City for Bavat | Suakin, on the Red sea, has proved an unsatisfactory port and is to be superseded by a brand-new rival which has been built up out of coral work and desert sand by the Egyptian authorities. The rival is Port Sudan, ‘the latest addition to the cities of the British empire, and an enthusiast says that it is destined to be a place of magnitude and importance in the days when cotton shall have made it the New Orleans of the east.

SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. tary Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly ot the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter re- garding which there can be no dis: pute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the at- tacking Japanese infantry not infre- quently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japa- nese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and bur- densome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched en- emy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire-through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proot shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest.

The distinction of being the oldest thing undoubtedly belongs to one of four trees. A century ago De Jumbole found two yews, one at Fortishire, in Perthshire, and one in Heddle, in England, that were estimated to be, respectively, 2,500, and 3,240 years old. Both are still flourishing, and the older tree has a trunk 27 feet round. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. The parson was talking to little Elmer about his habits, and asked him what time he was usually called for breakfast. "They don't have to call me" answered Elmer. "I'm always Johnny-on-the-spot." Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don't think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

MITCHELL. The Fantasy of a Girl. BY PAUL MITCHELL. Dear Bess: I was so glad to hear from you, tor I wondered if you had forgotten me. It has been an age since I heard from you and I have loads to tell you. I must first tell you about the congressman. I have a little unsolicited news that he is in South Africa. he might as well be in Hades, for I pin and sent Forrest's back. He sent a God-forsaken little note, and out of the kindness of my heart I rekindled the old flame to a certain extent. I then came home, broke the engagement with Burr and sailed in with Forrest. Burr quit for sure. Shortly afterward I sent the Grafton man his frat pin and forgot him. In May I actually had the real excitement of the year. Brother Bert eloped and Forrest and I helped them. The elopement was quite successful, so we decided to try it ourselves. Our's was not quite so successful, thank God. We were going to Walton to spend the day with Bert and his wife. Auntie said "No." I said "Yes." She said, "You can never come back here if you go against my will." I went. That was Saturday. Went back that evening and stayed at my brother's until Monday, then Forrest and I went to his aunt's in Rockville and tried to get married. Auntie and Uncle John seemed to have surmised just such an event and came walking up behind us. —and of course we didn't succeed. The Lord knows I am glad, for I despise Forrest. I only went with him to spite, anyway. He doesn't know it, though. That happened in June, and we went together during the summer, and no one else thought I cared for their company. They all thought I was in love with him. In September he went to Portland, Ore., and has been there ever since. All last fall I went with John Harris until I met the superintendent of the R. & D. railroad. That man, had he been younger, would have been the hit of the season. He is 35, medium complexion (sort of betwixt and between), six foot one in military heels, and with a weight somewhere near 200. He was all there—drives, operas, flowers and candy every week. He also gave me a pass over the railroad for nineteen hundred and six. Oh, such a muchness. Well, things moved along this way until yesterday. Now, if you only knew how Burr has been acting ever since we had that little engagement-breaking scene—then you would know how to be properly surprised at this. I was going up to see Mamie Black (she entered college the year after you graduated), and whom should I meet but Burr: Here enters the startling episode, for he stopped and said: "Going up to Mamie's?" A faint "Yes" crawled from near my Adam's apple (Does a woman have one?) When I was able to sit up and take notice we were walking in that direction. Think of it—he had hardly been speaking to me. Since it had been my fault, I was more than willing for a reconciliation and, besides, I have found that I really care for him. It has almost killed me the way he has acted. However, yesterday he told me he hadn't been to see another girl, and I'm happy as a dog to-day. The Grafton man called me up this evening and said he would come over to-morrow evening. Now wasn't it a shame I had a previous engagement with Bobby Burr? I don't want to see that man again, anyway. I think he's positively insipid. The railroad man is fine. He sends me the flowers and candy every week but then, just think—a man almost 15 years my senior. You must come and see me this summer, my dear, for we can have great fun together, and I have loads of things to tell you. You must see Burr, or he is the dearest man. I have a fine young lawyer picked out for you and I know you will fall in love with him. With lots of love. Affectionately yours, MARIE. (Copyright, 1906, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)

It has been an age since I heard from you and I have loads to tell you. I must first tell you about the congressman. I have a little unsolicited news that he is in South Africa, he might as well be in Hades, for I wouldn't care. He was here two years ago, kissed my hand—and asked if that was to be all. I said, "Yes, I think that will be a plenty for you," and I reckon that held him for a while. Well, here is the rest of my little song of life in G minor, with a Hungarian rapsody finish. It is a quiet little meadow without words. I began this letter on Saturday, and this is my first open date to finish it. I think, however, we'll get there in time for the fox. Something so startling happened yesterday that I want to begin at the end and tell it frontwards—Chinese style—but I'll try and comb it out. When I first came home I was just a trifle flighty and loved them all at one time, but I have changed my pills now and take them one at a time. In May, nineteen hundred and five, I was rushed by R. A. Burr (no relation to Aaron that I know of, and if he is he only inherited the good qualities of that gentleman). At that time I never imagined that I cared for him. He was positively lovely to me—called twice a week and took me everywhere. I just treated him like a dog, and a mongrel at that—but have since repented bitterly. In August of the same summer met C. L. V. Forrest on a boat ride (boat rides are always conducive, you know), and I gave up without a murmur. He was tall, light-haired, but only three months my senior (disgusting). Burr is 29, tall and dark. Well, I surely had it between those two—both in the same town. Of course there were others scattered around rather promiscuously, but I never confide in my right hand the affairs of my left—hence, no conflicts with the "out of towns." Auntie fussed about Forrest—so did Burr—and you know the effect that would have—made me determined to keep in up if Vesuvius erupted right then and there. I imagined also that I cared for him. Well, Forrest was going away in September to the naval academy, so I decided to devote all my time to him. The final crash came when I broke my engagement with Burr for Forrest, but I didn't give a whoop what happened. Forrest left in due time for Annapolis and I was left high and dry without regular company. I consolled myself by writing daily bunches of hot air, and in turn received the same with interest. Burr and I quit speaking. I dragged on an uneventful existence—only hits and misses—no one I cared particularly about. On Thanksgiving of the same year the Mesons had a swell banquet, and John Harris took me. He was toast-master, so we sat at the table for the guests of honor. Burr was also there, but of course I didn't see him then. After the banquet at the dance we were all lined up on one side of the hall and Burr was taking in the line, giving them all the glad hand. He didn't see me until he was squared right up against me. It would have been rather-pointed for him to have passed on, so up he bucked and put out his hand, and I dropped mine in it. What is it they say about the thrill? Well, whatever it is, happened, and when we danced—well, he forgave and forgot all the unhappy past. We had it rather bad for a while and he made a standing engagement for the dances at the club. I thought I had him, so made him toe the mark and rock when I rocked. Christmas, Forrest came home. Burr and I continued until I went to Grafton, a little one-horse place noted for mud-puddles. I stayed a month, corresponded with Burr, and quit Forrest. I then fell in love with a Grafton man, wore his frat Ownership of the country's industrial properties should be restored to the people, and as a step in this direction state as well as congressional action is necessary.

BURKE BAD COMPLEXIONS BAD COMPLEXIONS Depraved Blood Causes Pimples and Boils-Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood and Cure Follows. "I abused my stomach, my blood got out of order and then my face broke out with pimples and boils," says T. E. Robertson, of 197 Addison street, Washington, Pa. "This was over two years ago. My stomach was in bad shape. After eating I would have to rest awhile or I would suffer the most severe pains in my stomach. On arising I would often be so dizzy that I could hardly stand up. The slightest exertion would start my back aching so that I often had to sit down and rest awhile. At times I experienced a pain around the heart which alarmed me but which I suppose cam, from my stomach trouble. "I began to break out on the face with pimples and later with boils which confined me to the house a week or more at a time One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People advertised in a pamphlet which was left at the door and I thought I would give them a trial. I took several boxes of the pills before all the pimples and boils left me, but I am now glad to say that my blood is good. I do not have any eruptions and I no longer have the head and stomach troubles I have described. I am very grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me and I have recommended them and always will advise those who are suffering from bad blood or stomach trouble to try them." If you want good health you must have good blood. Bad blood is the root of most common diseases like anemia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, nervousness, indigestion, debility, partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores or postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectad, N.Y. CURIOS AND ODDITIES. Only one woman in 100 insures her life. Ellen Terry is passionately fond of cats. Sarah Bernhardt has a huge bed 15 feet long. Patti sleeps with a silk scarf about her neck. Brides in Australia are pelted with rose leaves. In stature Eskimo women are the shortest on earth. No photographs are ever taken of women in China. A woman's brain declines in weight after the age of 30. In Africa wives are sold for two packets of hairpins. New York has 27,000 women who support their husbands. Drunkenness is rare, smoking common among Japanese women. BADGER PHILOSOPHY A man can't be unusually polite without being looked upon with suspicion. When the real nature of a man's business is in doubt it is often hinted that he is a gambler. A woman is never satisfied with herself until she has outdone her neighbor in some respect. It's hard to understand why actors with such fabulous salaries always stop at such modest hotels. Lots of people think they have been cheated unless they get more than their money's worth.-Milwaukee Sentinel. Wants International Observatory. Prof. Edward C. Pickering, of the Harvard observatory, proposes to establish an international observatory. His committee is to be composed of the eminent astronomers of the world, who are to raise a sum of money, have a gigantic telescope built and placed on the most suitable spot on earth, and all to go to work. Sunday School Teacher—I hope none of you boys will ever be found among the goats. Tommy Tucker—How can we help it, Miss Smathes? We're kids, ain't we? A farmer says: "It was not from liquor or tobacco that for ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, they were caused by the use of coffee until I got so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I could eat only boiled milk and bread and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored with doctors and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while until I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and used Postum in its place. I have regained my health entirely and can eat anything that is cooked to eat. I have increased in weight until now I weigh more than I ever did; I have not taken any medicine for my stomach since I began using Postum. Why, I believe Postum will almost digest an iron wedge. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the effects it had on me, and when they were feeling bad they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee proves the truth, an easy and pleasant way. "There's a reason." Look in pigs, for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." THE CHURCH AT WORK METHODIST PROTESTANTS. Reported to Be Arranging to Merge Their Interests with Other One of the denominations which is arranging to merge its interests with the Congregational churches and the United Brethren, under a new name, is the Methodist Protestant, says the Interior. The agencies of the missionary activities of the Methodist Protestant church have received and disbursed $500,000 for missionary work, about $400,000 of this amount in the foreign field. With about $100,000 has helped to establish and maintain 73 churches, with property worth $500,000 and 6,600 members, paying pastors' salaries amounting to $25,000 and contributing to all purposes over $80,000 annually. Japan is at present its only roteign field, but arrangements are being made to send four missionaries to China very soon. The board has sent 26 missionaries to Japan and the Woman's society perhaps half as many, and the entire force in Japan at present must number nearly 50, including pastors, evangelists, teachers and Bible women. The revival spirit pervades the churches. The mission workers are said to be greatly encouraged and the only real discouragement is the lack of men and means to improve opportunities. The Methodist Protestants in common with other Methodists in Japan, it is said, are very desirous of a union of all the Methodisms there upon a basis adopted unaimously there and submitted for consideration by the mission authorities of the home churches. Two meetings of the joint commissioners appointed by the Methodist churches in the United States and Canada have been held recently; but disagreement on the policy has thus far prevented the adoption of the basis of union. GAILEY'S WORK IN CHINA What Consecrated College Man Has Accomplished Among Young Men at Tientsin. Mr. Robert Gailey, who was known during the '90s as a champion football player in Princeton, has for the past seven years been in charge of the Young Men's Christian association rooms at Tientsin, China, where the organization occupies what was formerly a mandarin's palace containing 100 apartments. Some of these rooms have been fitted up with scientific apparatus, and the Princeton secretary gives lectures upon electricity, astronomy and, by the aid of a very large globe, upon geography. He has convinced the intelligent young men of Tientsin that an eclipse is not caused by a great dog attempting to eat up the moon; that electricity can be produced without an appeal to the thunder god, and that China is not the only country on the globe. Mr. Gailey is seeking a larger endowment for his work and will doubtless get it, since it is through such agencies the isolation of the Celestial empire must be finally overcome. The Y. M. C. A. reaches a class older than that reached by the missionary schools, but a class not as yet too old to be reached at all. At Tientsin 94 per cent. of the cost of the association support is met by the non-Christian population, who have come to appreciate the worth of such an institution. HOLY RIVALRY IN GIVING What the Converted Natives of the New Hebrides Are Doing for the Spread of Gospel. The heathen of the New Hebrides love plunder, and delight in fighting with neighboring tribes. But the Gospel works a great transformation. In several villages on Paama island there has been a happy rivalry to see which church subscribed the most. They proposed to build a church, and a day was set apart for contributions. The teachers of some of the villages made the excuse that the people were waiting to see what their neighbors gave. And that was indeed the reason. On the first day the village of Luli contributed £1 15s. On the following Sunday the village of Lironissa gave £2 5s., stimulated by the other village to give more. On the Sabbath following, the people of Tahi, prevailed upon by their teacher, Peter Toro, reached £4 2s. 1d. Every person in that village gave, even an infant a fortnight old, who, says the teacher, dropped a 3d. piece in the plate. Such liberality puts us to shame! Power of Love. There are few souls so base but some fond heart is ready to trust them. God sometimes sends the clinging vine up the dead trunk of the tree to teach us that even in death his grace clings green and vigorous, and to remind us that the wrecked life, though deformed and unsightly, can be made beautiful by ever-clinging love.—United Presbyterian. Need a Gospel Mission A daily paper is responsible for the statement that a single county in Nevada, covering 16,000 square miles, has nowhere within its borders even a mission kall in which the Gospel is preached, and yet there is a population of several thousand people in this territory. Attractive Colorado Booklet. Attractive Colorado Booklet. One of the most attractive of the summer vacation booklets that have been issued is "A Colorado Summer," put out by the passenger department of the Santa Fe railroad. The picturesque mountain scenery and the descriptions of it which the booklet gives impress the reader with a new idea of the grandeur of the mountain crags of Colorado, and will start one day-dreaming of the time when he can view for himself the magnificence which the booklet describes. After reading the booklet one must certainly be convinced that Colorado offers both pleasure and health for every summer tourist. "A Colorado Summer" may be secured from Mr. W. J. Black, Pass. Traffic Manager, Santa Fe Railway, Chicago. BY THE WAY. Even a stingy person is always willing to give advice. No one is so prosperous that he can afford to malign other people. A desire to get even has often been the keynote of a man's success. Value of property is entirely a matter of whether somebody wants it. There are smaller dividends in the practice of hate than in any other occupation. It is hard to persuade a community that you are any better than your neighbors. A man does not really get old until he begins to feel secret pride in his infirmities. Every person imagines that his is a special case among the ills that affect mankind in general.—Uncle Dick, in Madison Journal. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty $\rightarrow$ fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Another Australian Experiment Suitable farming land is provided by the Australian government for groups of men and their families that will ultimately form village settlements, but they are not to be cooperative—each settler will stand or fall on his own merits. Government overseers will guide and instruct the settlers for two years, and the house erected for his use can be used as a public hall or school. Plain rations, implements, a small stock of cows, poultry, etc.; roofing material, water tanks, etc., will be supplied for the first year. This will be charged as a loan and must be eventually refunded to the state. British Colonial Order.

IT IS NATURE'S WARNING TO WOMEN Diseases of Woman's Organism Cured and Consequent Pain Stopped by Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "It seems as though my back would break." Women utter these words over and over again, but continue to drag along and suffer with aches in the small of the back, pain low down in the side, "bearing-down" pains, no voussiness and no ambition for any rest. Miss Maude Morris They do not realize that the back in the mainspring of woman's organism, and quickly indicates by aching a diseased condition of the female organs or kidneys, and that the aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been for many years the one and only effective remedy in such cases. It speedily cures female and kidney disorders and restores the female organs to a healthy condition. "I have suffered with female troubles for over two years, suffering intense pain each month, my back ached until it seemed that it would break, and I felt so weak all over that I did not find strength to work my butch had to stay in bed a large part of the first two or three days every month. I would have sleepless nights, bad dreams and severe headaches. All this undermined my health. "We consulted an old family physician, who advised that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began taking it regularly and soon found that I could sleep and eat better than I had done for months. Within two months I became regular and I no longer had to take it. Miss Maire Morris, Sec.
