'Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I write to
tell you of the g-ood Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
me. I was sick in bed about fire weeks.
The right side of my abdomen pained
me and was so swollen and sore that I
could not walk. The
doctor told my hus
band I would have to
undergo :m operation.
This I refused to
until I had given your
medicine a trial. Be
fore I had taken
one bottle the
swelling be
gan to disap
pear. 1 con

your medicine
until the swelling
was entirely gone.
When the doctor
came he was very
much surprised to
see me so much
better." Mrs. Mary Smith, Arlington

" Dear Mrs. Piskiiam: I was sick for
two years with falling of the womb, and
inflammation of the ovaries and bladder.
I was bloated very badly. My left limb
would swell so I could not step on my
foot. 1 bad such bearing down pains I
cou ,d not straighten up or walk across
tht room and such shooting-pains would
go through me that I thought I could
no t stand it,. My mother got me a bottle
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

It is an old army story that tells how
two men of the guard did so well that
the adjutant was unable to decide
which of them was entitled to be de

the tip ot the bayonet scabbard of one
was cleaner and blighter than that of
the other, whereupon he chose the man

BAKING HUMAN BODY
MAN WHO IS ROASTED IN A
GREAT OVEN.
Subjected to Intense Heat In Hope
of Curing a Grave Malady Hia
Limbs Were Ossified by an Attack
of Rheumatism.
Once In every twenty-four hours
Aaron Palmer is baked alive in the
great oven of the Bellevue hospital, in
New York City. At a temperature of
from 350 to 400 degrees he Is allowed
to roast in the oven for from half to
three-quarters of an hour. Then he is
removed, thoroughly massaged, and
placed in the sun, where a broiling pro
cess is begun. And all because he is
afflicted with arthritis deformans.
Translated that means that he has
gout. Not the plain gout that many
suffer, but an acute rheumatic gout,
svhich has practically ossified his limbs,
so that for over three years his legs
and arms were as hard as marble, be
ing frightfully wasted and distorted,
and absolutely Incapable of any move
ment or feeling. His condition was
pathetic in the extreme and it was only
a question of time when the dread par
alysis would encroach further upon his
body, until it affected some vital or
gan and thus put an end to bis life.
AARON PALMER UNDER TREATMENT AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL.
It was death that Palmer-has been
waiting for during these years of suf
fering. When he was first taken to
Bellevue there was some hope of sav
ing his life, but that hope speedily de
parted when it was found that by no
means known were the doctors able
to stimulate a perspiration In any of
the affected parts. Meanwhile the dis
ease was spreading slowly and surely,
and at last hope of stopping it was en
tirely abandoned. Vapor, Russian and
Turkish baths failed to aid. Applica
tions of heat were absolutely useless
and recourse was even tried in wrap
ping him up In blankets and placing his
feet as near as they could be placed
with safety to a red-hot stove. None
of the means tried seemed powerful
enough to affect in the slightest the
dread malady which affected him. Had
it not been for the placing of the great
new ovens in the hospital he would
shortly be a corpse. Now, however,
there is hope of saving his life. More
-than this, there 1s every prospect not
only of stopping the encroachments of
the disease, but of relieving parts al
ready affected. Indeed, the ossifica
tion, If it can be so spoken of, has
been removed from his arms entirely
except from the fingers, and his legs
have been revived from thigh to knee.
With continued treatment it is expect
ed that the calves and fingers and feet
will be saved, and that Palmer will be
able to resume his daily life where be
left off four years ago, a cured and
healthy man.
The Disease Held Him Fast.
Twelve years ago Palmer was first
afflicted with rheumatism. He grew
worse in spite of the various treat
ments which he underwent. Finally
his legs and arms began to dtttw up
and shrivel, and It was not long ere
he was a helpless cripple. No thought
ot sending him to the hospital occurred
to his family until four years ago,
when he was suddenly affected by the
deadening of his limbs. First his feet
were affected. And then the calves
and hands. There seemed every pros
pect of the whole body succumbing to
the fearful trouble and great Interest
was manifested by physicians to see
how long he could live. When his feet
were first deadened they were affected
as though frozen. They became as cold
as In death and then gradually stiffen
ed. No strength was sufficient to move
them. Then, as the ankles and calves
followed, recourse was taken to the
various processes recited above to see
if something could not stave off the
trouble. Finally, when the thighs were
similarly stiffened, it was impossible
for him to do else than breathe and
absorb his food. The arms came next,
starting with the finger tips. This
spread much more rapidly and in less
than a month the entire limbs were
rendered useless. It was at this stage
that the baking process began. None
of the doctors really thought any effect
could be produced upon Palmer. It
was a month before the slightest en
couraging sign was seen. It was notic
ed during this time, however, that no
111 effect was produced, so treatment
was persevered In. After this length
tf time a single drop of perspiration
was noticed on one thigh, so small that
It was feared that it might be water
dropped upon him by some means.
However, the next day more beads ap
peared, and from that time on a per
spiration was steadily Induced. There
was no let up, and It was not a fort
night before the flesh became soft and
pliable, although there was still no
evidence of power. It was not until
recently that any power was developed
and then only by constant massaging.
A.s the arms were affected quicker than
the lower limbs, so they yielded more
readily to the treatment. They were
In due course treated similarly. When
once the disease began to be dissipat
ed in them it was speedily conquered.
Less than three weeks ago they were
still held in the marble grasp. To-day
all tut the fingers have been released
The fingers and toes are now drawn
up against the palms of his hands and
soles of the feet. The flesh of the
calves has become pliable and soft and
the knees are almost .released from
their captivity. In another fortnight
It Is expected that everything, except
possibly the digits, will be well again.
The cause of the trouble has been a
deposit of calcium salts in the tissues
covering the bones In the parts affect
ed. The flesh has fallen away until
the man has become little better than
a skeleton, except for his trunk. His
weight was down to eighty pounds,
and the limbs were reduced to half
their usual size. Since the restoration
of power he has taken on flesh rapidly
In the relieved parts, and he now
weighs over a hundred pounds. His
normal weight since the beginning of
his illness until the ossification began
was about 130 pounds. Before he was
taken ill he weighed 1150 pounds. Palm

HORSES NOT AS HARDY AS MEN.
Sieges and Battles Show the Animals
Succumb to Hunger and Fatigue.
There have been many instances in
which fights have been lost or won ac
cording to the number and condition
of the horse engaged. When the siege
of Plevna commenced the Russians
were bringing alt their stores and food
from Sistova by the aid of 06,000 draft
horses, and at the end of the siege it
was found that no less than 22,000 of
them had died from hard work and ex
haustion. The want of rest and food
tells on a horse far more than on a
man, for in the case of the latter there
are the stimulating influences of patri
otism, the glory of victory, and othei
feelings which are non-existent In the
nature of a horse. Quite half the
horses in England sent to the Crimea
never returned, most of them having
died from hard work and starvation.
Indeed only about 500 were killed in
action. So reduced and starved have
the poor beasts become on occasions
of this kind that they have been known
to eat one another's- tails and to gnaw
the wheels of the gun carriages. Na
poleon took with him across the Nie
men (50,000 cavalry horses, and on his
return in six months he could only mus
ter 10,000. More than half the horses
which were engaged In our Egyptian
war of 1882 were disabled; 000 of these
were killed, and only fifty-three slain
in action. In the Afghan' war of 1838
It is said that 3,000 camels and half
the horses engaged were lost in three
months. It will thus be seen that ac
tual fighting does not claim so many
horses as starvation and overwork. De
fective shoeing, sore backs, want of
food and rest, and other similar causes
go far toward rendering horses useless
for practical warfare. One more and
important cause needs careful atten
tion, and It is the .danger of injury
horses run when belrfg shipped across
the sea. They are in constant motion,
they continually fall many of them to
be trampled to death and the rest be
come frightened, kick and batter one
another about, and are rendered use
less. As an instance of this, it was
found that one regiment on the way to
the Peninsular war was deprived of
just half its horses on the voyage.

Buying a Fan.
Miss Katharine Lee Bates, who
spent some months In Spain last year,
declares that the dark-eyed damsels of
the fan and lace mantilla are quite as
charming as tradition has pictured
them. Ignorant they commonly are,
their education being of the most
meager, but they are not dull. They
are quick-witted, high-spirited and af
fectionate, and are possessed of a grace
of speech and manner which rarely de
serts them. Nor do they reserve their
pretty ways only for the ballroom or
the parlor; even ordinary shopping is
lifted Into a scene of elegant comedy
by the manner In which it is transact
ed. This Is how a Spanish senorita
bargains for her fan:
There Is nothing sordid about It. Her
haggling is a social condescension that
at once puts the black-eyed young
salesman at her mercy.
"But the fan seems to me the least bit
dear, senor!"
"Ah, senorita! You do not see how
beautiful the work is. I am giving it
away at six pesetas."
She lifts her eyebrows half-lncredu-lously,
all bewitching.
"At five pesetas, senor."
He runs his hand through his black
hair in chivalrous distress.
"But the peerless work, senorita!
And this other, too. I sacrifice it at
four pesetas."
She touches both fans lightly.
"You will let me have the two at
seven pesetas, senor?"
Her eyes dance over his confusion.
He catches the gleam, laughs back,
throws up his hands.
"Bueno, senorita! At what you
please!"
And the senorita trips away content
ed with a sharp bargain, although for
Spanish gallantry, even when genuine,
goes farther on the lips than otherwise
the price was probably not much
more remote from what pleased the
smooth-tongued clerk than from what
she pleased.

America's Twa National Hymns Fill
Their Purpose to the Fall.
Our two national hymns are regu
larly attacked for their lack of good
grammar and real poetry, but, though
they may have technical defects, they
unquestionably possess that indefina
ble something which arouses the .in
ward thrill. "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," written on old envelopes by Fran
cis Scott Key, after the anxious night
of the bombardment of Fort McHenry,
was first sung in the theater by a va
riety actor. It was simply introduced
as "verses by a gentleman who had
been detained on board the English'
fleet." There was no claque to ex-,
ploit it, and, in fact, Mr. Key difTnoli
want to be known as its author, but,
fitting the words to an old tune, the
actor, with a voice which was not at,
all extraordinary, so impressed the
audience that the song had to be sung
again and again, and repeated on the
following nights.
Dr. Edward Everett Hale has said
that of all Fourths of July In Boston that
of 1832 left the deepest mark in his
tory of the century. He said he had
spent the last cent and bought medals,
drunk root beer, eaten oysters and
other things and was slowly returning
home, when, at Park Street Church, he
saw a procession of children entering.
They were Sunday school children. It
was then and there that the hymn, "My
Country, 'Tis of Thee," was sung, the
first time It had ever been sung in pub
lic. Happy fate that this hymn of the
nation was consecrated on the national
birthday ! Saturday Evening Post.

A CLEVER TRICK.
How to Make a Ball Out of a Hand
kerchief;
It is not very generally known how a
ball can be in a few minutes extem
porised out of an ordinary handker
chief. The trick "is, however, well
worth knowing, inasmuch as we can
therewith perplex our friends as to
how It was done, as also submit the
result to them as a puzle, it being diffi
cult or (If it has been thoroughly done)
impossible to undo it except by one
particular method.
As the first part of the process fold
your handkerchief as in Fig. 1; next
fold the points A, B, C, D, inwards
no. 1.
again to the center, and continue this
process as long as it is possible; finally
hold the handkerchief thus folded in
the left hand, keeping down the folds
in the center with the thumb.
Next with the thumb and forefinger
of the right hand pluck at the skin of
the roll you have now made till you
separate the skin from the con
tents and draw the skin towards you
nnd towards the center, as shown In
fig. 2, pushing the contents away from
you with the thumb of the left hand.
Pluck the skin again at a point a little
further away from you than at first,
and again draw the skin and push the
contents as before. Continue this pro-
ess, turning the roll round in your
left hand, till the handkerchief begins
to form a sort of whirlpool, in which
no. 2.
jthe thumb of the left hand is engulfed.
11 is now easier to complete tne wore
ly making each successive plucking
pearer to yob instead of further off,
though of course the drawing with the
rijflit hand and the nushinsr with the
eft must be in the same directions as
before.
It will be necessary also at Intervals
to knead it a little between the hand
in order to equally distribute the ton-
tents throughout the ball.
Continuing in this manner you will
finally arrive at a very hard ball. Fig.
3, with its skin quite tight and its
wrinkles all firmly fixed in the little
center of the whirlpool.
It now ought to be impossible to
undo it again except by reversing the
process that is, by plucking the skin
fio. S.
away from the contents and pushing
from you instead of towards you with
the right hand forefinger and thumb,
while pushing the contents towards
you with the fingers of the left hand.
Large sheets and even blankets and
counterpanes can be rolled up in the
same way; and I have heard a story
of a visitor at an hotel who, consider
ing himself badly treated, rolled up all
his bedclothes before his departure so
tightly that they could not be undone,
by way of revenge. The result, how
ever, falsified his expectations, for the
landlord, by displaying these curiosi
ties and charging a small sum on each
attempt to undo them, realized a small
fortune on the transaction!
Prejudiced.
Not exactly the right word, but a
very expressive one, was that used by
a dilatory witness, a woman, who, says
the Kansas City Journal, was brought
by the sheriff before District Judge
Thompson at Westmoreland.
"What reason, madam," said the
Judge, severely, "have you for not obey
ing the summons of the court?"
"I hain t got none, Mr. Judge, only
we have smallpox down at our house,
an' I thought you might be kinder
sorter prejudiced agin It."
The judge was "kinder sorter" preju
diced, and the spectators must have
been more so, to judge by the "quick
ness with which the courtroom was
suiptied.
