A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is
tmfl; to f.iro for children ; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts
trx : herself. 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.

How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. McKinny.
' Deau Mrs. Pinkham : I feel it my duty to write and let you Unow the
g-ood you and your Vegetable Compound are doing. 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. Mildred McKisjjv, 26 l'earl

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.

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. Some
