RHEUMATISM Caused by an Impure Condition of the Blood How It May Be Permanently Cured. From the Mirror, Manchester, IV. H. Although rheumatism is one of the most painful and dangerous of the many troubles which afflict mankind, it can be permanently cured if a prop' er course of treatment is taken. The real cause of rheumatism is the pres ence of acid in the blood and the only cure is to purify, nourish and strengthen this vital fluid. The best specific yet discovered for this purpose is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the number of cures they have enected in cases of this stubborn disease is wonderful Mrs. S. D, Loveland, of No. 133 West Hancock street, Manchester, N. H., was cured of a severe attack of rheumatism by the use of this remedy, she says : "Several years ago one of my knees was injured by a fall. About the first of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and at last got so bad that I could not bend my knee. It was very painful and I was unable to move about. I tried various remedies, but not one of them reheevd me in any way. "In the latter part of August. nearly three months after the pain ana stillness began, a friend, Mrs, Bothwell, of Everett, Mass., told me of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I willingly gave them a trial and experienced relief m a few days. I continued until I had taken three boxes and was able to bend the knee and go up and down stairs without difficulty. I have' since taken the pills a number of times for other troubles and always with good results. "I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peonle many times. I have not learned with what effect they were taken, excepting in the case of two of my relatives and a young woman living in my family, each of whom was greatly benefitted. I feel that I cannot say too much in favor ot the pills. Signed, MBS. S. D. LOVELAND. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 27th day of February, 1901. JOHN G.

An American Career. In 1867, In the graduating class of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, was a youth of 17, named Charles R. Flint He was born in Maine, but raised in the City of Churches. At that time he had earned an enviable reputation for Indomitable application and enormous power of work. He was not a brilliant scholar or speaker, but In the Milton Literary Club, composed of the brightest students of the Insti tute, he was regarded as one of its ablest members. After graduation, he entered into commercial life, and be came first a clerk and then a junior partner in a small shipping house known as William R. Grace & Co. The firm had an unpretentious office in downtown New York, and was Insig nificant compared with the older and larger houses of .the neighborhood. Yet through the genius of its members, and especially of Flint It was destined to become a great financial power, and its members to be multi-millionaires. The young man applied to business the same principles that had made him successful in the Institute. Within ten years he was a wealthy man. At 40 he was worth more than a million; to-day he is ranked among the great capital ists of the world. Frank Leslie's Pop ular Monthly. An Early Impression. "People ought to be mighty careful about the way they educate their chil dren," said Senator Sorghum. "I suppose there are many things you would arrange differently if you could go back and superintend your own ohildhood?" "Yes. - For instance, my thoughtless teachers sat me down In front of a copy book and made me write 'Honesty is the best policy' over and over again. They dinned it into me so hard that my young spirit revolted, and I have had an aversion to that motto ever since." Washington Star. Ignorance of Parents. Parents desire intensely two thine. and only two things, for their children; their success In athletics at school nnri their material success in the world; and one corresponds to the other. Of real intellectual distinction they appear to have as little conception as their nova themselves. Saturday Review. - If a woman is her husband's boss, his employer never gets full value from him. The Duty of Mothers What suffering' frequently results from a mother's ignorance ; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter 1 Tradition says "woman must suf fer," and young women are so taught There is a little truth and a great Seal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treat ment, and her mother should see that he gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion : but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., and secure from a woman the most efficient advice with out charge. Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irreg ular menstruation had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swelled, and was generally miserable. She received an answer promptly with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregu larity. Nothing in the world equals Lydia B. Pinkham's great medicine for regu lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. V ; He'd Hit It Some Day. Scribbler Why do you send so many stamps with your poems?

"The modern long-range military rifle is going to develop near-sighted sol dieds if no precautions are taken," said a New Orleans soldier who has seeu service in the late campaign. "The ne cessity of straining the eyes upon a tar get a mile or more away Is as certain to produce the result as 2 and 2 make 4, and It is a significant fact that quite a number of men have already been re lieved from duty In the Philippines on account of 'defective vision.' The na ture of the defect is not stated, but it was evidently acquired since the sol diers entered the service, for they are subjected to a searching optical exam ination upon enlistment and I hazard the guess that most of the present trou ble is due to overstrain In long-distance shooting. The Japanese army surgeons have anticipated the' danger, and the troops sent to China were all supplied with small, compact, field-glasses as part of their regular accouterment "I read in a technical journal the other day that the glasses only cost 78 cents apiece, so they couldn't have amounted to very muchj but they were better than nothing. At the same time," continued the physician, "no field glass meets the difficulty. , At best it merely permits the soldiers to examine the target in detail before he picks up uis gun, and to draw a bead he is abso lutely compelled to do -more or less squinting and strain! 112 over the sie-hts. The proper appliance would be a very ugnt, modified fieldglass that could be fastened over the eyes and used In ac tually taking aim. I am convinced that such a glass will be .perfected and in use In the near future. It presents no great problem, and all the mountings, if desired, could be made out of pressed paper, so that the chief weight would be the lenses. In fact it need not be much heavier than a pair of old-fashioned iron-bowed spectacles, and still have sufficient magnifying power to enable a soldier to sight his rifle with ease upon an object at maximum range. I admit added the doctor, "that a regi ment with its glasses on would present rather a ludicrous picture, but the in strument is one of the clear necessities of present conditions, and it is bound to come."

Flint has a quaint Yankee humor which is as well developed to day as in his school' years. In the Polytechnic Institute the markings were on the basis of one hundred and were bulletined monthly." One day a group of boys were looking at the new bulletin, oh which one of the hopeless dullards of the class was marked sixty-six. - Flint said' slowly: . "Sixty-six, that's the very number of our year, and I hope when we get to '99 Jack will receive that figure!" Once a sanctimonious person re marked: "Children should never be allowed to play with toys on Sunday!" 'May they not play with religious toys?" he queried. "There are no religious toys, sir!" "Excuse me, there are!": "What are they, then, sir?" "Noah's arks." Not a Perfect Specimen. The little girl, whom the New York Times tells about Is only 5 years old, but she has such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be some thing of a connoisseur in children. Re cently there came a real live baby Into the house. . When it was put into her arms, this real live baby, the 5-year-old surveyed it with a critical eye. 'Isn't that a nice baby?-cried the nurse, with the . Joyous pride with which a nurse always regards a new baby, in which she feels that she has a proprietary interest 'Yes," replied the little girl, hesitat ingly, 'It's nice, but its head's loose." A gossip never does much harm un less she has an appreciative audience. Diligence is a fair fortune and Indus try a good estate. Slip!

"What do you mean when you al lude to our friend as a hypercritical person?" "A hypricitical person," answered Senator Sorghum, "is one who sub jects things to unreasonable tests.
