A great many women who are ill try everything they hear of in the way of medicine, and this experimenting with unknown drugs is a constant menace to tholr already Impaired health. This seems to us very unwise, for there are remedies which aro no ex, pertinents and havo been known years and years to be doing only good. Take for instance Lydla E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound; for thirty years its record has been one un broken chain of sucoess. No medicine lor female ills tho world has ever known has such a record for cures. It seems so strange that somo people will take medioines about which they really know nothing, some of which might be1, and are, really harmful ; while on the other hand it is easily S roved that over one million women ave been restored to health by Lydla I. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. We have published in the news papers of the United States more gsauine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the Interest of any other medioine. All this should, and docs, produce ft spirit of confidence in the Jtearts of women which is difficult to dislodge, and when they are asked' to take some thing else they say, No, we want Lydla E. Pinkhamrs Vegetable Com pound, which has been tried, and never foand wanting, whose reliability Is established far beyond the experi mental stage."

No more marvelous chapter In the story of Insect life has ever been writ ten than that describing tho experi ments of the entomological department of the Bureau of Agriculture at Wash ington in common laugunge, the de partment of "bugology." How to combat the ravages of scores of insects Injurious to man or tho pluuts he requites for ornament or food is the constant Btudy of the bugologlst or entomologist. Take, for Instance, the chinch bug, n small bug, only three-tweuty-nfths of au inch In length, yet he made a great stir In the world some jenrs since. The amount of Injury done by this Insect In Illinois alone In the year 1804 was esti mated at $73,000,000. But now wb sel dom hear of it. The chinch bug went out of business nfter the bugologlstH got their micro scopes on him, and learned that he was Infested by a small paruslto which was not ouly harmless, but was readily cul tivated In such numbers as to destroy the host, as an Infected animal or plant Is called. It Is such a relief as one sees the me tallic glitter of the wings of our friend, tho drairou fly. "nlosnulto hawk," or "snake "doctor," to know that he Is j avenging us In part for the sting and song of the mosquito. But among all the forms recently ex perimented with, none Is of such ab sorbing Interest as a certain chameleon spider, ever changing color. It is hoped that he can be multiplied to tho point of destroying certain moths and butter flies whoso ravages In tho larval stago arc the plagues of the gardener and the florist. The new spider Is unusual. It Is like ly, though fully a third of an luch in length, that thousands of people who havo lived In the country their wholo lives have never seen n single one. For tho color of tills animal is tho means of securing Its food, It being a poor web spinner, and hence compelled to He In wait for Its prey. Its entire body Is a beautiful creamy golden yellow In color, the exact shade of the yellow petals of the "black-eyed daisy." Sitting between the petals of tho daisy, this enemy lncarnato of the but terfly kind will rarely be noticed, look in as it does like a petal curled up and motionless, absolutely the color of tho flower In all except the tiny red claws at tho end of Its outstretched arms. But presently butterfly comes lazily flitting along and apparently alights upon the flower, and appears to remain resting. If tho observer was unaware of tho presence of this "yellow peril," he will have noticed nothing unusual. For the butterfly, often of large site, remains locked motionless in the em brace of those yellow arms, whose red claws have given the death stroke quicker than the eye can follow. As these spiders are always hungry, and consume large numbers of butter flies of Injurious species, it will at once be seen how Increasing their number will be a practical method, of getting rid of the latter, the spiders being abso lutely harmless to plants of any kind. In many species the female la the larger and more powerful of the two, and frequently malms or even kills and cats her suitors. In one case the female kept snapping at the legs of her suitor, occasionally snapping off one when the latter got too close. But he, ardent and forgiving lover, persisted until he had lost four of his eight legs, when he was at last accepted. New York Journal. Horacs Need Hair Itenewer. "City folks Is' easily pleased," re marked Uncle iteuben, who has a farm down In Egypt. "I went In to see that there horse show and there wasn't a single critter there that had more than a stump of a tall. What they need Is a hair renewer for those prize animals. A stiff young man that kept looking at nothing and holding his arms out as If he das'n't let bis coat sleeves touch his coat says to me when I asked him about thoso poor tailless, stuck-up look ing animals that they were that way on purpose because It's the fashion. Queer what will come In for style. I looked round and most of the big men they said was millionaires didn't have any hair on their heads. The bald spot was about as numerous as the bob tuiled bosses. The young dudes that I see a promenading about with big flowers In their buttonholes didn't one of them have a sign of a mustache or even a prospect of any, whiskers.

Severe on the bnbjecl, but Frofltablt la the Louis luit Denied a Good Contract liceuuao lie Was Insert ing llltunelt Too Mucli. "I used to be one of those chaps who try to kill thuuibclves yvltu overwork," said a little and hearty business man of 00-odd years, "but before 1 had uultu accomplished a fatal tei initiation, as so many of my bretlneu have uoue mid me tiding, 1 round 1 was Injuring my business by It aud quit." "How can a man Injure his business by devoting himself to It completely" asked a tiicd-looklng party. "That Is picDosterous.'i "Is It" smiled the hule ami hearty man. "Well, listen a moment, and when you liave heard maybe you will feel called upon to think It not so ex cessively preposteious as It seems, Thirty years ago, at which time 1 built up a business that was worth $10,000 a year to me. I was so overworked that I was almost a shadow. My di gestion and my nerves were gone, 1 could scarcely sleep aud the little spells of rest I took when my wife and tho doctor foiced me to do It weie of no use at all. Lord knows how long I would have stood It, but the business was growing and 1 was making mote money every day and I seemed to think that that was Justification for the loss of everything else save honor. "1 had one big manufacturing linn whose president threw Into my hands yeaily contracts that brought me at least half my profits, aud 1 was about to receive one that would net me ?-5,-000 and greatly Incrcaso the yearly business. The president had been a friend of my father's, aud It was on this account he had given mo first chance at his work, other things being equal. I bad not seen him for a couple of years, aud Just beforo nwardlug the big contract he wrote me -to come to the city where he lived and talk tho matter over. I worked harder than ever to get everything up before taking four or live days out of a busy time, aud rode nil night to tho city. I was at his olllce whcii he got there, nnd, by Jove, he .didn't know me." " 'My dear boy, he said, when 1 told him who I was, 'you arc killing your self with overwork. I know all tho HymptouiH, aud I know a dozen men who have gone Just the way you are going.' " 'Oh. I guess not,' I laughed. 'I may be v orklng pretty hard, but I'm young and have a good constitution, nnd I think I can stand It.' "He was a testy old fellow nnd ho argued with me on the subject until he lost his temper. '"I tell you, Fred,' he said at last, I kuow what I'm talking about, nnd I will not be a party to your self-destruction. You've got more work than you can do already, aud I'll give that contract to one of the other firms that aro after It, nnd give them, besides, one-half of the business 1'vo beeu let ting you have. That will give you a good deal less to do, and when you hnve pulled yourself together again aud given that good constitution of yours a chatice I'll see what wo can do for you.' "Well, It almost took my breath rnvny, but he was not to be moved to a rcccnslneratlon, and I went buck homo without the contract. I suppose I might havo worked harder than ever to get other business, but the old gentleman's method of getting at mo brought me to my senses, nnd I concluded that when n man was working so hard ho was In juring his business, probably It was time for him to tako a rest. And tnlto n rest I did forn wholcyear. I work ed, of course, but without crowding things, nnd when I went to seo tho president to have n talk with him about a larger contract than ever he didn't Unow me ngnln, I was so much improv ed In nppenranco, and when I told him who I was ho not only gave me tho work, hut Insisted on my taking lilin out to n dinner ns n'fee for his medical advice."

"One of the most laugnable scenes I over witnessed during tho representa tion of ono of Shakspeare's tragedies," said a well-known theatrical manager to the writer the other day, "happened to the late Tom Keene about this tlmo four years ago, when he was perform ing In n northern New York town. Tho company was playing 'Julius Caesar,' nnd at the last moment It was found that the property man had failed to oeud up the regular throno chair used In the senate scene, and nn old rustic chair was hastily procured from tho left of the theater, and, after being cov ered with drapery, was pressed Into ! service, In the mldtt of tho scene a large wasps' nest was discovered at- i l..1 tlm si lira ft ntwl Itn lit lies lil tri i to Inched to the chair, and Its Inhabitants, becoming Indlgnnnt nt the disturbance they bad suffered, began to swarm nlKHit the stage, seeking revenge upon tho Romans In their low-necked nnd short-sleeved dresses. The wasps seem ed to be particularly offended with Cao ar, and It Is doubtful If Caesar's death Kene was ever acted with more feeling, for at the moment he was.belug pierced by the consplrtors daggers the wasps were most Industrious In their work.

Bradbury, of Augusta, Malu'c, ex-Senator of tho United States, recently celebrated his 08th birthday. Tho career of this venerable statesman covers a period of American history un example In the experience of any other num. Ho wns born In 1802 and conse quently Is able to give personal recol lections of the war of 1812, being n lad of 10 when that struggle was In pro gress. Ho was 18 years old when Maine was admitted to the Union; ho helped welcome Lafayette to tho Stato In 1824; he participated In tho celebra tion of the semi-centennial of American Independence In 1820; ho wns a United Suites Senntor from 1847 to 1853, nnd was colleague nnd personnl friend of Webster, Clay, Benton nnd Calhoun; ho Is tho only suvlvor of tho 100 men who sat In tho Scnato during his term; ho Is tho ouly living member of tho Bowdoln class of 1825, which Included Longfellow, Hawthorne and John C. Abbott. Mr. Bradbury has lived in Au gusta for slxty-threo years, over half n century In tho house which ho now oc cupies.

Ho has never tasted liquor or tobacco nnd to-day Is able to nttehd to his considerable correspond ence without the aid of nn nmanuensls. Tho Skipper and the Jlayt Captain F. Domtnlck, of a fishing attack, had a fierce fight with an Ainer lef 4 whlp-stlng ray near tho Charles to'? S. C, lightship the other afternoon. Sorar as tho local Ushermen are able to say, this Is tho first Ush of the kind over seen around tho waters of Charleston, and, being unknown to Domlnlck, he was naturally In bad lighting shape be fore tho sen monster was finally killed. Tho rny had a wire-like tall live feet long, nnd when this went slashing through tho nlr nnd descended with mighty force on the back of the cni tnln he wns more nlarmcd tliau ho car wl to l)e, and It was any man's game until tho tail was finally cut off with a knife. Captain Domlnlck says he wns fishing 111 quiet waters and his lines were hang lug loosely from his boat. Suddenly tliore was a vicious pull at the line, nnd tho whip stinger, weighing 125 pounds, came to the surface. The fish fought to get nwny, nnd some of his Hint teeth were broken In the sctnmble. Tho tall began whipping the nlr ns soon ns It en me from tho wnter, nnd Captain Domlnlck had to throw his hands to his face to keep from having It lacerated., Fortunately a big knife wns lying open) In tho boat, nnd with ono cut tho tall was severed. This somewhat subdued tho flsh, aud In n short tlmo Captain Domlnlck had It under, control. Tho Captain says he had never seen n living specimen of the whlp-stlng ray before, and ho was not prepared for tho onslaught from the monster's tall. Farther up tho const these members of tho piscatorial tribe nre no uncommon, but they nre rare nbout Charleston. What Ho Forgot.

"Thomas," he would sny, "I have Just been looking for something, nnd now I can't remember what It Is," whereupon the obliging Thomas Invariably made suggestions. "Was It your purse, or spectacles or check book, sir?" nnd so on, he would inquire, till ho hit u;on tho right ob ject. Ono night, after tho old gentleman had retired, the lnll rang for Thomas, and on reaching the bedroom he found his master rambling restlessly about the room. "Thomas, Thomas," he said, "I came up hero for something, and now I've forgotten what." "Was it to go to bed, sir" suggest ed tho faithful retainer. "Ah, the very thing, tho very thing Thank you, Thomas, Good night!" When a woman finds out that her husband has done anything wrong, she likes to have all her female rela tives present when she accuses him of It.
