About It.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: When I wrote
to you I had not been well for five years;
had doctored all the time but got no
better. I had womb trouble very bad.
My womb pressed backward, causing
piles. I was in such misery I could
scarcely walk across the floor. Men
struation was irregular and too pro
fuse, was also
troubled with
leucorrhcea. I
had given up all
hopes of getting
well; everybody
thought I had
consumption.
After taking
five bottles of

and was able to do nearly all my own

you. I cannot thank you enough foryour
advice and your wonderful medicine.
Any one doubting- my statement may
write to me and I will gladly answer
all Inquiries. Mrs. Nell Hubst, Deep

For Marketing Kgrsra.
A regular egg case is doubtless best
for carrying eggs to market, but bet'
ter than carrying tbem piled up one
upon another in a basket Is the plan
shown in the cut. Get a candy pail
at the grocery store and cut from old
pasteboard a lot of circles, each one a
trifle smaller than the one to go nest
above It in the pall. Put a layer of
bran in the bottom of the pall, lay the
eggs thickly over it and fill in between
and over them with bran. Lay on a
pasteboard -circle and proceed as be
fore. The storekeeper will take out
each layer of eggs, lift out the circle
with the bnan on It, empty the bran
Into a box or pall. Then when the
eggs are all out he will pour the bran
all back Into your pall, putting the clr-
cles on top, to be used again and again.
Packed In this way the eggs will not
break, though the horse trots and the
roads be rough. American Agricultur
ist. Protecting Newly Pet Graft.
It often happens that a graft requires
several weeks to effect a union with
the stock, and until this Is done It Is
liable to be moved by winds, thus
loosening Its hold and making union
impossible. To prevent this evil, It Is
always best to fit closely ever the graft
a small, conical paper cap, which Is ex
tended downward far enough to be se
cured there. This will keep drying
winds from browning the leaves, and
thus destroying the life of the graft
before the union Is effected. The cap
should be removed as soon as It is
known that the union of scion and
stock has certainly been effected.
Growing Turn' pa.
July Is the month for planting tur
nips. As the seed Is small, the ground
must be plowed and then harrowed
down to as fine condition as possible.
The most Important point in growing
turnips Is in the fine soil. Sow the seed
in rows which will permit of using
horse boes, and seed with a hand drill,
which Is regulated so as to cover the
seed perfectly. Use plenty of seed, as
the fly does considerable damage dur
ing some years to plants when they are
Just appearing. If too thick in the rows
EGO CARRIER.
the plants may be thinned with a hoe.
Cultivate as soon as the growth of the
plants will permit. If this Is not done
weeds and grass may get the start, es
pecially that persistent pest known as
crab grass. A light skinning of the
surface close to the plants after every
rain, using a hand wheel hoe, will pre
vent weeds and grass. After the turnip
plants have made considerable growth
they shade the soil and can hold their
own against weeds, but the best crops
are secured when the turnips are kept
clean. The ground should be manured
and the manure worked In with the
harrow before planting the seed.
Potatoes Among: the Chinese.
It has always been supposed that as
the potato Is a native of the Rocky
Mountain regions, both of North and
South America, it was unknown In
the old world until after America
was discovered. This is probably true
enough, so far as our present stock of
potatoes was concerned. But the po
tato has been known thousands of
years in China. It Is said to grow wild
in the regions of western China near
the Tartary boundary. It Is very large
ly grown there, and divides with rice
the popular preference as an article
of food. It is possible that the potato
might have been introduced from west
ern America In the long era when per
haps another continent lay between
Asia and America, or when the Facillc,
was occasionally traversed by adveu-.
turous vessels which sailed around the
coast In the far north, and then came
southward to milder climates along our
Alaskan coast.
Water In Farm Crops,
Those crops always pay best which
have most water In them, as nature
furnishes the water without charge.
The farmer who sells potatoes or roots
of any kind of fruits sells what Is
four-fifths water, while most of the
solid part of the fruit or root Is taken
by the leaves from the air. In growing
such crops cultivation so as to retain
moisture In the soil Is more Important
than manures. Whatever deepens the
soil enables It to hold more moisture
and to grow better those crops which
depend on abundant supplies of water
for success. It may seem paradoxical,
but It is true that soil made deep by
thorough underdraining will be the
molstest in time of drought. '

Fharp Tools.
There Is little danger that either the
scj-the or cradle would be left dull
while these operations had to be done
by hand. But we have often seen
mower knives dulled by coutact with
stones," or gummed up by the juices
of grass so that It required far greater
force to run the machine, besides fre
quent failures to cut all the grass. In
such times an hour's work at the grind

will be work that well pays.

COALING WARSHIPS.
this Task at Sea Involves Great Diffi
culty and Expense.
The Inventor who does away with
coal as a fuel for warships and also
the necessity for taking on fuel so fre
quently will have achieved one of the
greatest triumphs of the age. The coal
ing of vessels at sea especially in time
of war is often a most difficult prob
lem. Apparently methods of coaling have
Improved but little, and are almost as
crude as they were years ago. There
perhaps seems but little need In im
proving this system when the coaling
Is done at the ship's dock, but at sea
the difficulty of accomplishing the feat
In Increased a hundredfold. In the for
mer case two or more coal barges are
brought alongside of the boat at the
wharf and manlla fenders are suspend
ed over the sides of the vessel to keep
the two fronj Injuring each other. Even
under these most favorable conditions
it takes hours or even days to coal a
big ship. The best time the St Paul
could make before she was purchased
by the Government was forty hours for
taking on 3,000 tons of coaL
At sea when a ship needs coal It gen
erally needs It very badly, and the coal
must be transferred as soon as a col
Her can be brought to the boat, no mat
ter what the weather may be, whether
the sea be calm or the waves running
mountain high. The collier must be
fastened at both ends to the warship
by cables. With these two vessels roll
ing and pitching to and from each other
this joining of the two Is a dangerous
undertaking, for both might be sunk.
The work requires the oldest and most
experienced seamen. One set of men
Is busy keeping the two vessels apart
The first men drop rubber fenders
where they are needed and the others,
under the direction of an officer, tug at
the, helm and drop anchors tc control
the motion of the ship as much as pos
sible. ,
The cost Is simply transferring the
coal Is enormous. The St. Louis or the
Harvard spends over, $50,000 In a year
for getting coal out of colliers Into Its
bunkers. For getting the same amount
of coal from a collier Into the vessel at
sea the cost would be fully double thai
amount

The Fife.
It is said by some that we owe the
fife "ear-piercing," as Shakspeare
calls It to the Swiss, and Sir James
Turner, who busied himself In writing
on military matters, names It the "Alte
maine whistle." In France it was em
ploved at least as early as 1534, In
which year It was ordered by Francis I,
that each band of 1,000 men was to
have four drums and two fifes.
A few years later, In England, we
find "drommes and ffyffes" Included In
the muster of London citizens. Shak
speare refers to the musician, not the
Instrument, when he Bpeaks In the
"Merchant of Venice" of "the vile
sauealine of the wry-necked fire." An
old writer observes, Indeed, that
"fyfe Is a wry-neckt musician, for he
looks away from his Instrument."
About the reign of James II. the fife
lost its popularity for a time, Sir James
Turner observing: "With us, any cap'
tain may keep a lifer In his company
and maintain him, too, for no pay Is
allowed him perhaps Just as much ai
be deserveth." Chambers' Journal.
