Nobody for American Helraaa to Marry Bat Some ForlKr of Position, I. the Bxpert Opinion. The other day the next duke to marry an American girl entered a restaurant In Fifth arenue to take luncheon with one of the family he is soon to join. In a few minutes every table in the room buzzed with con versation on the subject of tne mar riage, says the New York Sun. "It's a very good thing," said one of three women who bowed to the duke, "and nothing could be more ridiculous than all this talk of buying a title. When girls are as rich as this one, there is practically nobody for them to marry but some foreigner with as much position as he haa." "Anoi her thing that people never seem to think about when they criti cise these foreign marriages," said an other of the trio, "is that these girls do not want money and have no earth ly use for any more. For that reason, there are no grounds for their trying to marry the rich men of their own country. "For one of them to marry a poor man would in most cases be quite as much criticised as if she took a for eigner, and all sorts of things would be said about the man who married and settled down to live on his wife's income. "He might be a great author or in ventor or artist, and In that way be an appropriate match for her. But you know there aren't many persons 01 mat Kind among tne men that a girl of position could marry. Then the utmost that she could enjoy any how would be the reflected glory of being his wife. "But a duchess is something in her own name. She has her own honors and her own special privileges. "Then there is a great deal in the life she sees to interest a woman who wants some change from the monotony of society and domesticity. She is a j sort of little, perhaps a very little, queen, and there are delights in the life she leads to be found nowhere ! else." "And when it's all said and done," chimed in the third one of the group, i "there is a certain kind of glory about j having a good title that any woman ! enjoys so long as she has the other things that go with it. If she has the money to live up to It in the right way, that sort of life offers more than any in this country. "If it were customary for the Amer ican men that the women of wealth meet here to go into politics, there would be much more in their own country for these Immensely rich girls. They could go to Washington and take part in official life there. "But that happens only when girls who have married foreigners come back here with them. The only wom en of wealth who play any part in social life thera that would be agree able to New York women are those that have been married to men in tha foreign diplomatic service. "As it is there is practically nobody left for these great heiresses to marry but foreigners of title. And the happi ness of the women who have done that shows the wisdom of it when the men they marry are worthy of their affec tion. Nowadays the mothers usually see to that. "The dissipated and penniless for eigner as a husband for the American heiress is a thing of the past. The American girls now get the pick of the oldest title and the most attrac tive of the men." These opinions were uttered while the trio from time to time glanced at the young man who had created so much interest in the restaurant. From the attitude of the crowd that looked at him there was evidently something of the same feeling among the other guests.

Hard tn KsterniiiiRte. The captain of a well-known Aus tralian clipper, the Caduceus, wishing to clear his ship of rats, offered his crew a glass of grog for every rodent killed or captured. The result was speedily apparent in the diminished number of rats, yet, somehow or other, there were always a few, the crew, anxious for sup plies of grog, having devised a means of manufacturing thpm out of oakum. The captain's curioiv was aroused one day by noticing a supposed rodent float ing very "light" on the port quarter. He waited his chance, and when the next man appeared with a rat the cap tain remarked: "Throw it to wind ward." The result was dead agpinst the sailor, for the oakum rodent was blown back on to the poop. Thence forth there were no more rats and no more extra grog. Shipping World. The ChrjKHntheiimm. Cultivation of the chrysanthemum in China may be traced back to a very early date. Already in the eleventh century two strains were cultivated, the one bearing yellow ray flowers and the other white. Dr. Henry, who has col lected specimens now in the herbarium at Kew, England, believes that two wild plants are the progenitors of all the cultivated strains. The yellow flower is found throughout China and Japan. The white flower comes originally from Hupeh, China. PUZZLES THE WISEST MEN.

In four lines cotton goods, kerosene, lumber and flour American goods will be met in Manchuria. Russia has every advantage in flour and lumber, and will soon be our most active rival in these lines In the general trade with China. Kerosene, Russia can produce cheaper, and sell cheaper, although the product is inferior In quality, but this is not so serious a drawback for the Chinese trade. In cotton goods, while her trade is grow ing, it is handicapped by inability to meet American prices. Ketv Oil Well In Kaatiu. The Industrial department of the San ta Fe reports great activity in the south eastern Kansas oil fields. The wells completed in August number 170, of which Independence, Neodesha and Humboldt furnished 106. The dally product of the tnlire field is now 6,847 barrels. Vigorous prospecting is going on around Kodesha and Peru. Eastern oil operators are turning their attention to Kansas and many large holdings are being secured. The digestive tube is filled with fer ment capable of attacking, of destroy ing and of transforming the food with which they come in contact, but these ferments attack neither the walls of the intestines nor the parasites which often live in abundance on these walls, says Public Opinion. What causes this con dition? The question has often been discussed and now the researches of M. E. Weinland on the tryptlc ferment again bring the matter forward. In 1891 Frenzel Btated that he believed the protection enjoyed by the intes tines was due to the antiferments which are secreted by the living tissues. An experiment of M. Weinland along this line is very interesting. A mixture waa made of fibrine and of trypeine or of pepsin and the whole was placed to di gest after a little Juice of ascaris was added. No digestion occurred. The ex periment may be prolonged Indefinitely, but the ferment does not attack the flbrine when the anti-ferment Is pres ent. Thus it is not the living tissues which resist digestion, but the Juices which Impregnate them and which thej Eecrete. which spans a crevice 575 feet wide and hundreds of feet deep, it was necessary to lower all material from the top of the cliffs by wire cables. The whole stupendous task was made possible only by the liberal use of the "V switch" or "switchback." In one instance of the Peruvian railroad it was found neces sary to construct a switchback in the side of the mountain, the train heading in on the lower level and backing out through an upper tannel almost exact ly above. The coet of the Oroya rail road, when completed, waa $43,000,000, or $311,884 a mile, making It one of the most costly roads in the world. ? j I . Ill J Mrs. Elizabeth H. Thompson, df Lilly-L dale, N. Y., Grand Worthy Wise Templar, and Member of W. C. T. U., tells how she recovered from a serious illness by the use of Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ' Deab Mrs. Pinkuam : I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia 13. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing down pains ; in fact, I had womb trouble. I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures j our Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of all my troubles. " My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kind3 of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women." Mks. Elizabeth II. Thompson, Box 105, Lillydale, N. Y. Thousands upon thousands of women throughout this country are not only expressing such sentiments as the above to their friends, but are continually writing letters of gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham, until she has hundreds of thousands of letters from women in all classes of society who have been restored to health by her advice and medicine after ail other means had failed. Here is another letter which proves conclusively that there is no other medicine to equal Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered with poor health for over seven years, not sick enough to stay in bed, and not well enough to enjoy life and attend to my daih-duties proper ly. I was growing thin, my complexion was sallow, and I was easily upset and irritable. " One of mv neighbors advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and I procured a bottle. A great change for the better took place within a week, and I decided to keep up the treatment. " Within two months I was like a changed woman, my health good, my step light, my eves bright, mv complexion vastly improved, and I felt once more like a young girl. I wonder now how I ever endured the misery. I would not spend another year like it for a fortune. "I appreciate my good health, and give all the praise to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. M. Tili.a, 407 Habersteen St., Savannah, Ga. Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of such letters.
