indigestion and headache.

Something About Canale.
The Suez canal is usually considered
the most Important example of ship
canals, though the number of vessels
passing through it annually does not
equal that passing through the canals
connecting Lake Superior with the
chain of great lakes at the south. In
length, however, it exceeds any of the
other great ship canals, its total
length being 90 miles, of which about
two-thirds Is through shallow lakes,
says Harper's Weekly.
The canal connecting the Bay of
Cronstadt with St. Petersburg is a
work of great strategic and commer
cial Importance to Russia. _ The canal
and sailing course in the bay are
about 1C miles long, the canal proper
being about six miles and the bay
channel about 10 miles, and they to
gether extend from Cronstadt, on the
Gulf of Poland, to St. Petersburg.
The next of the great ship canals
connecting bodies of salt water in the
order of date of construction Is the
Corinth canal, which connects the Gulf
of Corinth with the Gulf of Aeglna.
The canal reduces the distance from
Adriatic porta about 175 miles, and
from Mediterranean ports about 100
miles. Its length is about four miles.
This Is Miraculous.
Manhattan, Kaunas, March 14.—
One of the strangest cases that has
ever been heard of in Riley county is
that of the three year old daughter of
Mr. Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Sometime ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia JYhen the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with ma
laria fever with At times symptoms of
Spinal Meningitis^
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the
fever Bright’s Disease set in, and the
doctors gave her up. Her father telle
the rest of the Btoiy:
“We began to give her Dodd’s Kid-
ney Pills and aft r she had taken about
three and a half boxes, she was entire
ly cured. Now she is well as any child,
rum ing and playing as if nothing had
•ver leen the matter.
The doctors
•aid she was beyond the reach of medi
cine. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly
saved our little girl's life, when she
was so far into the chronic stage of
Bright's Disease that we thought noth
ing could save her.”
Old Marriage Certificates.
Theorists are to be found ail over
the world who advocate that no man
or woman shall be gllowed to marry
who has not a certificate of freedom
from
transmissible
disease.
Not
even the most extreme, however, would
go so far as a Prussian official In the
town of Rappin, one of whose duties
Is to Inspect butchers' meat and another
to place the official seal on marriage
certificates. The Berlin Loknlanzeiger
states that on one occasion he used the
wrong stamp and Instead of sealing
the nuptial contract he certified that
the happy pair were free from trichino
sis. The absurd mistake was not dis
covered until some days had elapsed,
with the result thnt the high court
of Berlin has bad to be set in motion
to rectify the error.

Pagillat'a Unexpected Demonatratlon
of His Hitting Power.
Bob Fitzsimmons gave an unexpect
ed demonstration of bls physical might
the other day in a downtown sporting
goods bouse. Th» big fighter drops into
this establishment frequently and edi
fies the clerks and whatever customers
may be about by bls skill at drumming
the punching bag. He rarely fails to
perform bls old trick of knocking the
bag lose from Its bearings, aud on thia
occasion, after a bard blow had torn
the bag loose from the string that held
It, one of the officers of the concern
who was loklng on and who knows
Fitz well, remarked to the pugilist:
"Ob, I don't think much of that
stunt, Fitz; that piece of rope was an
old one and It wouldn't take much of
a blow to break It. It took you some
time to get that bag loose, and my
opinion Is you are getting to be a back
number. If you couldn’t land on Cor
bett any harder than that he’d trim
you in jig time.”
Fitz didn't say anything in regard
to the guying, but the mention of Gor
bett's name made illa face take on a
more determined expression.
“Then,” said the business man In
telling of the Incident, "I got a brand-
new piece of stout sash cord, nearly
thick enough to lift a horse and rigged
up the punching bag with this cord.
‘Now,’ I said to Fitz, ‘there Is some
thing you could not knock loose Ln a
hundred years.' Fitz lammed away at
the bag viciously for a while, but didn’t
knock It loose. I stood there guying
him some more, telling him how he'd
gone back and all that, and then I
walked away about twenty feet.
“I turned around to see how Fitz
was getting along, and as I did so I
saw his arm shoot through the air so
fast It was only a blur In the air, and
the next thing I knew the bag was
shooting through space like a bullet
“It was coming straight for me, too,
and at such speed that I didn’t have
time to dodge It. It cleared an Inter
vening show case, and the next instant
I was wondering whether I was In the
ring or In the hospital. The flying ball
caught me squarely over the eye, and I
surely thought I would have to take
the count. The blow dazed me for a
moment and nearly put me out.
“I guess I was the one that was l>e-
lng guyed all the time, but In any
event between the kick of a mule and
a man who can drive a punching bag
twenty feet through the air and hard
enough to almost knock you down, the
mule for mine. I don’t think Fitz Is
quite a candidate yet for the home for
superannuated old men.”—New York

Trees in China.
Tree planting In Northern China is
being strenuously enjoined by the au

been cut down wholesale for agricul
tural purposes, while the pen Hants do
not take the trouble to plant fresh
ones, because the soli Is so loose that
they must dig down very deep for a

M iss Whittaker, a prominent club woman
of Savannah, Ga., tells how she was entirely
cured of ovarian troubles by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
“D ear M rs . P inkham : — I heartily recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound as a Uterine Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for
four years with irregularities and Uterine troubles. No one but those who
have experienced this dreadful agony can form any idea of the physical and
mental misery those endure who are thus afflicted. Your Vegetable Com
pound cured me within three months. I was fully restored to health and
strength, and now my periods are regular and painless. What a blessing it
is to be able to obtain such a remedy when so many doctors fail to hdlp you.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is better than any doctor
or medicine I ever had. Very trulyyours, Miss E asy W hittaker , 604 39th St.,
W. Savannah, Ga."
No physician in the world han had such a training or such an
amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all
kinds of female ills as Mrs. Pinkham. In heromce at Lynn, Mass.,
she is able to <lo more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her
own trouble who will not take the pains to write to Mrs. Pinkham
for advice. Her address is Lynn, .Mass., and her advice is free.

accomplished in her case by the use of Lydia

“ D ear M rs . P inkham : I am so p-rateful
to you for the help Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has given me that
I deem it but a small return to write you an
expression of my experience.
“ Many years suffering with weakness,
inflammation, and a broken down system,
made me more anxious to die than live, but
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound soon restored my lost strength.
Taking the medicine only two weeks pro
duced a radical change, and two months re
stored me to perfect health. I am now a
changed woman, and my friends wonder at
the change, it is so marvellous. Sincerely
yours. Miss M attie H enry , 429 Green St,

Lady Jeune, in writing on dress al
lowances for girls, notes the fact that
one reason why upper-class English
women do uot look smarter than they
do Is that they will buy too many
clothes. They commit the mistake of
buying much that is unnecessary and
that they never wear, because they see
It and it Is cheap.
“All Englishwomen,” she goes on,
"have too many clothes—In fact, too
much of everything—and the conse-
queuce Is that their things are old-
fashioned and unwearable long before
they are worn out. French women
have very few gowns, they have just
what they want and wear them out
An Englishwoman loves her old clothes
and wears them a little, then puts
them away, and when she finds they
are old-fashioned she has them done
up and remodeled, believing that she
Is practicing great economy, whereas
It would be far better and cheaper to
give them away. She clings to her old
gowns, Jackets, hats, boots and shoe«
with a sort of romantic tenacity.”
The same may be said of many
American girls and women, and It of
fers one good reason for not buying
the very best materials la everything,
as one Is often recommended to do.
There are many trifling accessories of
dress which are nice only so long as
they are fresh and hit the fancy of
the hour. Then why sink much money
In them! The same Is true of the tal-
lored suit.
“It Is commonly supposed that a
good tailor gown Is a thing that a
woman of limited means can safely
Invest her money In, with confidence
that she will get every dollar's worth
of wear out of it,” says an authority.
“Yet how many women find them
selves with a $75 suit on their bands
which Is demode, which they cannot
afford to give or throw away, and
upon which they have to lay out often
a considerable sum to make It wear
able. Almost any woman would say
under these circumstances the per
son In question would have fared bet
ter to have laid out only $40 or $50 ou
her suit originally. When she had
'shabbied' it. or It bad got out of style,
she could then have bought herself a
new one with a clear conscience aud
at hardly any extra expense, consider
ing what she would have to pay to
get the old suit renovated. Supposing
the woman in question has only one
tailored suit, and has to wear It four
years; she would certainly cut a smart
er appearance on two suits at half the
price. This seems to be one of tbe
Instances where, while it Is never pru
dent to buy the cheapest, it Is certain
ly not wisdom to buy the highest
priced. A good part of the accumula
tions of clothes from which women
suffer Is due to buying too expensive
things, as well as too many of them.”

a patent finish.
The patent or enamel finish Is really
painted and baked on, as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto a frame. Tanners are very par
ticular about keeping tbelr processes
secret, and nobody but workmen Is
ever allowed Into the finishing rooms.
The hide or skin, having been
stretched and dried as much as possi
ble, Is first given a coating of a mix
ture of linseed oil, litharge, white lead
or similar materials boiled, together
until they make a pasty mixture.
This Is daubed on the surface with
a steel tool aud well rubbed in, so that
the pores of the leather will be filled
up. Then the leather Is put Into the
oven, its surface being exposed to
steam pipes at a temperature of about
IGO degrees.
Next the surface Is rubbed down
with pumice stone, and then It Is cov
ered with linseed oil and Ivory black,
about six layers applied, each layer
being dried and rubbed down. Finally
a varnish Is applied, and then the sur
face is rubbed down and finished off as
nicely as a painter finishes a fine car
riage.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
