The t rouble between children and their mothers loo ''ten is duo to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unlit to bear the strain upon her nerves that T-Tver!ii:ig- o, child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves, caused by some derangement of the uterine system Avith backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother rinds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can not do 1 letter than to take L.vdia E. Pinkham'.s Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, Vriil themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, 111., says: "Beak Mas.

I had been sick ever since luy first babv was born, and at the birth of my second, my doctor, as well as myself thought I should never live through it. After that menstruation never came roguhir, and when it came 1 suffered terribly. I also had womb and ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband's advised him to pet Lydia E. IMnkham's Vevretabk' Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it, but now nothing could induce me to be without it. Menstruation has become regular, and I feel like a new woman. Your medicine is a (od-send to suffering- women. I hope this letter will lead others to try Lydia E. Pinklian'S Vegetable Compound. Yours truly, Mna.

The design of & long bridge span is one of the most elaborate mathemat ical problems that arises in construc tive work. The stresses produced by its own weight, by the weight of traf fic, by locomotive drivers, by the ham mering of flattened wheels, by the action of brakes on an express train, by the high speed of a curved track, by the wind and by the expansion and contraction of the steel in summer and winter, are all accurately calcu lated. The definition of the loaded and unloaded bridge is determined, and complete drawings are madti of every member of it. The bars of steel are tested in machines which will pull in two a horsehair or a steel bar strong enough to lift half a score of the heaviest locomotives at once, and which will crush an egg-hcll or a steel column, and accurately measure the stress in each case. The differ ent kinds of members arc forged, riv eted, bored or planed in perhaps half a dozen remote shops. ;uid nil hough usually not fitted together there, are examined and measured by special ists to see that they are correct, and are then shipped by scores of car loads to the site of the proposed structure, where steam derricks un load them and pile them many feet high in stacks covering acres of ground. The huge piers may rise above the water, hundreds of feet apart. It re mains to place on them a l,(MX-ton structure, high above a savage chasm, over an impassable current or roar ing tide, where the water is deep, the bottom of jagged rocks or frt'acher ous quicksand, or where an old bridge must be removed and the new one built in its place without interrupting navigation or obstructing continuous traffic on the bridge. To accomplish this the engineer has timber, bolts nnd ropes, hoisting engines, derricks, and a band of intrepid builders, who have perhaps followed him for years through more hardship and danger than fall to the lot of almost any other calling, writes Frank W. Skin ner, in Century. The complicated framework of a great span is a skeleton with many i accurate joints and thousands of steel sinews and bones, each of which must ' go in exactly the light place in ex- j actly the right order. The builder must weave into the trusses pieces larger, heavier and far more inflex ible than whole tree-trunks: swiftly hoist nnd swing them to place hun dreds of feet high: tit 1-'g"ther the massive girders and huge forged bars with watchmaker's accuracy: support the unwieldy masses until thev are keyed together and sel ful -lining; and under millions of pounds of stress must adjust them, at dizzy heights, to mathematical lines. This he may need to do, not deliberaN I v in a com fortable shop or on a solid platform, but, in dangerous emergencies, at ut most, speed, putting forth his whole strength on narrow, springing planks in a furious tempe-t. in bitter cold or in blazing heat. He may be in the heart of an African desert, menaced by blood-thirsty fanatics, or in a gorge of the Andes, hundreds of miles from tools or supplies, where there is absolutely no supplement to his own resources. Under such conditions bridge building is one of the most fascinating and dittieiilt of engineer ing problems, and requires a differ ent solution for almost every case. DROPPING 07 A PENNY. Other Paaseosera in Street Car I'mial-. Ijr More Interested in 11a Fate Than the Owner, Have you ever noticed the interest that money attracts, even if it is only a single cent? The next time that you see a copper coin dropped in a street car just observe, advises tht Chicago Tribune. Every ere in th cur will turn to the s pot where it dropped, and there will be manifest ed a real general concern over it recovery. Two or three heads ar likely to come in contact over th point of its disappearance, and then the owners will draw suddenly back and try to appear unconcerned; but in another second they art again leaning1 forward. The man who dropped ths cent is usually the first who appears to have brushed memory of the trivial occur rence aside, but just us wmiii ns the eyes in the car have turned from him his own are sure to go back to the floor in the hope that the truant coin will be seen. When he has pone there is a re newed interest among the passengers for the Mage of "tinders keepers" has arrived, and those near the Fpot of ilisapparance become quite dili gent until they are aware they make a center of attraction. Hut intcrM in that little coin is not lost white there is a passenger left, and when ilie car is empty th conductor tnk'-s his turn and resurrects the cent. Fattening geese for the sole purpose of enlarging their livers is something of an industry in France, where the novel occupation is carried on in order that choice material may be obtained for that distinctively French morsel, pates de foie gras. French packers have recently been comdderably aroused because the charge was made against them that they substitute beef suet arxl pork for what are termed "diseased goose livers." This they de nounce as not only ludicrously improb able but wholly without foundation, bays a London paper. In the first place, they contend that a fatted goose liver is no more diseased than the meat of an overfed hog. Hoth are abnormal, and in that sense only might be regarded as a product of un sanitary condition??. When a goose is being prepared for foie gras it is usual ly confined for a time at least by a tether fastened to a stake, beside which it waits with a healthy appetite for its frequently supplied portion of i American corn meal, which is the food chiefly relied upon for fattening. The goose is not encouraged to take too much exercise, any more than any other fattening animal. He is not fedi for his health, but to incline him to take on fat. The result of this is to greatly enlarge the liver, which is re garded as. the most valuable part of the carcass. Foie gras d'oie. the fat goose liver, is prepared for use and export in several forms, each of which is calculated to meet the whims of fastidious people. One form is the foie gras naturel. an other is pates de foie gras, while still annt her is pruee de f i ie gras. The foie gras nalurel is simply the cooked liver served without any form of seasoning except the fat or oil of the liver itself. The pate de foie gras of commerce consists of the cool-ed liver packed in) tin boxes of standard size which the liver is roughly cut to fit. The. -pace not occupied by 1 he liver is filled with the t rim in ings of the li ver or pork fi ne ly ha-hed and preyed in. Over this, is poured the melted fat, sometimes of the liver and sometimes of the b ef suet. The pieces of I i e r c h i pi ,ed i IT i n this process of fitting the cooked liver to the box are used w itli "t her hashed meats am! flavoring matters like trut fies in preparing w ha t is Know n in com merce as puree de foie ras. The practice of using viiet instead of the natural fat of the goose liver, as a support or matrix by which the inter s t ices be t ween t hjc I i vi-r a nd I h e box are filled, is not. so wholly re j ; re J e r s. ible as might at first appear, since it has cer tain good reasons, or at least excuses. In the first place, the suet and the somewhat firmer meat packed about the liver prevent tl e litter from be ing broken up by sliding : i".u! in the box. as- it is likely t o do v. long jour neys when only the thin oil of the liver is used. Another fact, which shippers have learned by costly experience, is that the pure fat of ths goose is much more likely than beef siieV to become rar.cid when used a$- tho sole -pack i f the foie. It is also claimed that the strong, greenish fat of the goose is sometimes repulsive to person of weak stomach, nnd t-hat Americans w ho a re especially opposed to what they term "inevsy dishes" are u n r;i " v : h I v opp"cd to tes made with tii.' pine goose fat. The modifications described arc pre pared simply to reconcii? the pervert ed American taste to the foreign, dainty. Though the primal purpose of the change of material was no doubt to reduce the cost of production, the result said not only to be a ret'.uction in price to the roiumner. but to give him an opportunity t ei'ec: the form of this delicacy he m.i v p'-efcr.
