Her Only Regret
Mrs. Peabody Had Passed Through
the Most Trying Experience of
Her Life Before She Found
a Remedy for All
Woman’s Ills.
Nobody who sees Mrs. Mary M.
Peabody, of 42 Water Street,
Haverhill, Mass., to-day will find
it easy to believe that she has
passed her 63d year and has en
dured more sabering Ilian comes
to the ordinary lot of women.'
IIow she regained health and
happiness is best told in her own
words. She says:
Jffirji Mary M. Peabody.
‘-Last winter and spring I had the grip which left my system all ran
down, l also suffered from female weakness and troubles peculiar to
women. I had no strength and no ambition. My friends did not think
that 1 would live and 1 was afraid that I was going into consumption.
“1 recalled the benefit that Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
had done me in a former illness, and last July I began taking them.
They did not disappoint me. I used several boxes of them and from a
total wreck I was made a healthy woman. My only regret is that I did
not know of Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People when 1 had the
change of life. I am now enjoying the best of health, eat heartily and
sleep soundly—all due to Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
“There are many facts about my case thht I do not care to have
published but I will gladly answer any woman who cares to write me
about the subject.” Maby M. Peabody.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this first day of September, 1899.
Thomas W. Quinsy, Justice o/t'ie Peace.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pald^People are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of the grip, palpi
tation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all forms of weakness
either in male or female.

WIND LYRICS.
East wind-
Through gates of pearl, with sapphire act,
I steal at dawn to fly, while yet
The clouds with silver dew are wet,
On wings tliat brush the morning star
Of song afar. >
North wind—
From fields cf frozen stars I blow,
I bear the fragile flowers of snow
That fall upoa the earth below,
With pure celestial lips to bless
In soft caress.
South wind—
On wings of perfume* bom of spring,
Sweet memories of the south I bring;
From birds and blossoms pink that fling
To heav'n tlieir gladness in an ecstasy
Of melody.
West wind-
Back through me gates of gold and rose.
Where late the star of evening glows,
1 slip, before the evening’s close,
* On pinions woven of a sigh.
Into the night ! seem to die.
. But, hush! The night will soon pass by.
Before the lark, when morning breaks.
The east wind wakes.
—Carrie L. Ward in Danaid.
Pat and Lean.
Scientists with the government in
Washington assert that American men
are bulging in the middle because they
eat wheat-mid oats in one form or an
other. Men with large stomachs are
frequently proud of the distinction.
Often they stand with their hands on
their hips and their coat tails pushed
back. The side elevation may be star
tling to the beholder or may be enter
taining or may engender covetousness.
It all depends upon the point of view.
But stomachs are largely a matter of
food and drink.
If you want flesh about the hips and
abdomen eat sugar and starch—wheat,
oats, fresh bread, cake. pie. preserves,
candy, ice cream, potatoes, heavy
soups, fat- meat. nuts, butter, cream,
oyster pat lies, goose livers, beaus and
bananas.
If you are already too large, diet,
diet, diet, and then begin* all over
again. Crucify your appetite; go into
a strait jacket; array yourself iu
sackcloth and ashes. Live on lean
meat, eggs, fish and raw cabbage.
Drink hot water. Walk live miles be
fore dinner. Starve In the laud of
plenty. Become irritable. Watch the
hungry and fierce look grown into your
face. Co to the scales every day.
Dream of banquets. In three mouths
your clothing will not fit you. Oh, it’s
great fun for the tailor and the doctor.
—Cleveland Leader.
An Insect Tragedy.
There is something really pathetic
In the way a mother butterfly builds
a nest for her children. In the first
place, the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents a great deal
of sacrifice, for it is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er’s own soft body. The eggs having
"been laid carefully upon this luxurious,
* pretty couch are protected by an equal
ly pretty coverlet made of the same
material.
These .butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that is
quite curious and perplexing. Some
times a bed is made so that each sep
arate delicate hair stands upright, thus*
g.vlng the entire nest the appearance
of a little brush of do why .fur. Then
again, the eggs are laid spirally round
a tiny branch, and. as the covering
follows their course, the effect resem
bles the busy tail of a fox. only the
nest is more beautiful than the “brush”
of the finest fox that ever roamed over
country.
The building of this downy nest is
the latest earthly labor of the mother
butterfly, for by the time it is com
pleted her own delicate body is denud
ed of its natural coveriQg.: and there
is nothing left for her .to do but die,
a sacrifice which she promptly aud
heroically makes in the interest of the
coming butterfly generation.
His Modest Luncheons.
“The ordering of my luncheon used
to be a great nuisance.” said a lawyer
yesterday. **I would go into a cafe,
perhaps pretty hungry, but two or
tree minutes' study of the huge menu
’would put me in an uncertain, irrita
ble mood, and uo-matter what I’d older
I wouldn’t enjoy it on account of the
thought that I might have ordered
something different and better. It was
like going into a public library to read.
With so many books there, it is im
possible to sit down and read one book
contentedly, as you can at home. But
now I have au arrangement that makes
my luncheon a jo.v. I said to my wait
er one daj r :
“ • What 1 eat here at noon costs me,
ai the average. $1.23. and my average
tip to you is 20 cents. Now you ought
to know what a nice luncheon is better
thau I do. so I make you this proposal:
Serve me every day a lunch of my
usual number of courses, and whatever
under $1.25 it costs you can keep.’
.“The waiter jumped at that He
brings me every day now a better meal
than I would think of ordering myself,
and he makes from 20 to 30 cents by
keeping down the price. It is a splen
did scheme, and I wonder why I never
thought of it before.”—Philadelphia
Record.
They Don’t Know Nerve*.
Those who know the Chinese best
have been particularly struck with
their absence of nerves. The foreigner
fidgets, the native sits still; balmy
sleep, especially in hot weather, will
resist the foreigner’s sweetest wooing,
while to the native lying, on a heap of
stones or across the bars of a wheel
barrow she comes as a matter of
course; we need constant change and
variety, they would find contentment
and rest on the treadmilL
“It would be easy,” says Mr. Smith,
“to raise in China an army of 1,000,000
men—nay, 10,000,000—tested by com
petitive examination as to their capaci
ty to go to sleep across three wheel
barrows, with heads downward, like a
spider, their mouths wide open and a
fly inside!" •.
From which it is evident, says The
North China Herald, that in a crusade
against noise we can hope for no as
sistance from onr native fellow towns
men. but instead a great amount of
vis inertiae. if not positive opposition.

The most suggestive and inviting

An Intelligent Censor.
No play may be publicly performed
in England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by tbe stage cen
sor. A certificate must be secured
from tbe lord chamberlain. Tbe lord
chamberlain himself does noL of
course, read all tbe plays submitted to
him, but the work is passed on to the
examiner of plays, who is not always
a man of education or discretion and
who in many eases has been suspected
of letting things pass, because man
agers have made it profitable to him
to close bis eyes to supposed faults.
The story Is told of one of these ex
aminers who was moved to strike out
“drunk as a lord* in one of the plays
submitted to him. There used to be
an old rule that the word “heaven”
should be substituted In stage lines
wherever tbe name of any of the per
sons of tbe Trinity came up. So this
clever examiner changed tbe line to
read “as drunk as a heaven.”
The penalty for disobeying the ex
aminer is a fine of $250, which may be
levied on any pel-son connected with
the forbidden performance—callboy as
well as star.

companied him. and presuming that be

tapped a burly coal porter on tbe
shoulder and peremptorily demanded.
“Make way there.”
“Garn. who are you pusbin?” was
tbe unexpected response.
“Do you know who I am. sir?” cried
tbe indignant M. P. “1 am a repre
sentative of the people."
“Yah.!’ growled tbe porter, as he
stood unmoved, “but we’re the bloomin
people themselves.”

POISONS IN MURDER.
THE USE OF THE SUBTLER DRUGS
SELDOM BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Strychnine and Arsenic Are Clumsy
Agents or Dentil, ns Their Traces
Remain In the Victim Indefinitely.
Poisons In Novels and Plays.
“A recent newspaper article.” said a
physician, “called attention to two
curious facts, or rather.* alleged facts,
about poison. First, that it is so sel
dom resorted to by jnurderers. and.
second, that its use is almost invaria
bly followed by detection. One might
answer both statements with the ques
tion: How do we know? How do we
know that the few clumsy eases that
come to light represent the sum of that
kind of crime?
“It is undeniably true that there are
certain drugs which, if administered
with skill, would be almost impossible
to detect Their symptoms are practi
cally identical with those of familiar
diseases, and a little while after death
they decompose, change form and dis
appear.
“It would be possible, too, to innocu-
late a victim with the germs of some
deadly malady. He would then go to
his grave with a real ease of consump
tion or pneumonia or lockjaw, and
there would be nothing to arouse the
shadow of suspicion. I believe firmly
that such crimes are committed and
never discovered, hut 1 believe also
that they are very rare. The real safe
guard of a community lies In the fact
that so few murderers possess the req
uisite skill.
“Educated people seldom commit de
liberate murder,” continued the doctor,
“and the uneducated mind instinctive
ly associates poison with two sub
stances—arsenic and strychnine. They
are the deadly drugs most familiar to
the public, and fortunately they are
easily detected. Murder by arsenic is
infinitely clumsy. To begin with, the
symptoms are marked and peculiar;
being a metallic product, its traces re
main in the body an Indefinite time.
“Last summer a woman in Barce
lona. Spain, confessed that she had
poisoned her sister with arsenic 15
years before. The grave was opened
and the coffin found to contain nothing
but dust and ashes, but a chemical test
showed unmistakably the presence of
the drug.
“Mrs. Maybriek was accused of kill
ing her husband with arsenic, and the
test revealed It plainly not only in the
remains, but In certain medicines. The
demonstration was so conclusive that
she finally arose In court and admitted
giving hint a ‘white powder,’ but insist
ed that she followed bis own express
directions.
“One of the most ingenious cases of
poisoning -I ever heard of occurred
some years ago in another state. A
young physician plotted to kill a
wealthy farmer. He knew the latter
was taking quinine for a cold and.
meeting him one day. asked to see
what size capsules he used. While
pretending to examine them, lie slip
ped in one containing strychnine. The
farmer happened on it nearly a week
later and died iu convulsions. An au
topsy revealed the poison, hut the af
fair was a deep mystery until the doc
tor committed suicide, leaving a writ
ten confession.
“Tlie poisonings that occur in novels
and on the stage are usually very
amusing to a student of toxicology,”
said tlie physician in conclusion. “I
remember in ’Sam'1 of Posen.’ which
was produced with such sueeess by M.
B. Curtis, the drummer hero was tem
porarily knocked out by a poisoned ci
gar. He took two or three whiffs, and
over lie rolled. I would like very much
to know tlie uiiine of tlie drug that
would produce that sort of effect.
“Nearly nil tlie pnisouiug iu fiction is
equally surprising. There is a well
known English romance in which the
heroine inhales the fragrance of a
bunch of roses and instantly falls dead.
Needless to say. the poisoned perfume
is wholly unknown to science.
“Another story— But I could keep
on citing iustauces nil night. History
isn’t much better. Most of the yarns
of the Borgias ami Meilicis arc pure
moonshine. espi*cially those about poi
soned gloves, poisoned tapers and oth
er applications of drugs or things that
arc touched or bundled.
“The tale of tlie book which was
anointed on tlie margins with some
deadly substance that killed tlie per
son who moistened his lingers to turn
the leaves has possibly a foundation in
truth; but. I confess. I would he puz
zled to know how to prepare such a
volume. Almost anything that might
be used would instantly betray itself

is said to have been a favorite material
with which to ’doctor' food, and you'll
find some interesting data on tlie sub
ject in tlie autobiography of Cellini!
the goldsmith. . It is occasionally used
by negroes rigid here in tlie south. Of
course, powdered glass Isn't a true
poison. It sometimes kills by setting
up internal inflammation. Oftener it
lias no effect at all.” — New Orleans

A Don Story.
Animals have sentiment, and they do
reason. Lord Sandwich had two intel
ligent. companionable little white dogs.
He was fond of both. They were much
attached to him aud devoted to each
other. One white pet fell sick..and he
watched over tlie little creature. But
no care sufficed to save iL aud it died.
The loving master said flint he himself
would bury, the dog. anil he did so.
The liviug I’omeraninn stood liy. griev
ing as sincerely as tlie bereaved mas
ter. But the survivor could never
again endure Lord Sandwich, shunned
him and was utterly irreoonciialile for
all time, lie thought that the master
had killed and hurled Ids canine com
rade.—Loudon News.

Answered Hfs Own Letter.
A certain young railroad man who-
has charge of a department in the
auditing branch of his company's bus!-’
ness had occasion recently to dictate a
letter to the head of- a corresponding
department of another road. There
was a point In dispute between the
two railroads involving money, and
tills young official had taken a stub
born grouud that the other official was
totally at -fault and advanced what
seemed to him unanswerable argu
ments to prove it.
A short time after he had forwarded
the letter he. received- a proposition
from headquarters of the other rail
road, which he accepted, and within a
few days he became the head of the
department with which he had been In
dispute. The first letter which he found
on file ready to he answered was his
own on the' point in question.
There was only one thing to do. He
Immediately dictated an answer to his
own letter, refuting and repudiating
its argument, and wound up by a heat
ed insinuation that the writer of it was
an .unmitigated donkey. Of course, the
letter was addressed to himself, hut in
his enthusiasm for the interests of his
new employer he did not mind a little
thing like that.—Chicago News.
He Wn* Too Smart.
He was the only man at the table
.full of lovely girls, and. like all only
men, he was siwiled. So when tlie
belle of the table remarked that she
was very fond of pepper and then sift
ed half the contents of the pepper box
over her food he sprang an old gag
on her.
“It won’t hurt yon. This pepper is
half peas.”
“What is that you say?” asked the
landbuly from the next table. “Speak
a little loader, please.”
He reiterated his remark.
“That isn't true.” retorted the land
lady hotly. “I do not use adulterated
goods on my table.”
“My dear madam,” said the bland
joker, “there are always a lot of p’s in
pepper.”
There was an impressive pause, then
the landlady said in a crushing voice:
“Oh. yes. just as you always furnish
part of tlie dessert”
“I don’t understand.”

I write this letter because I
believe you have made a dis
covery in a cough, cold, throat
and lung remedy that the peo
ple ought to have. I refer to
Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey. I
have thoroughly tested it and
know its merits. It cures.
Any one who ever needs a
remedy of this kind should
never be without Dr. Bell's
Pine-Tar-Honey.

BELL’S PI NE-TAR-HON EY
. scientific prescription, carefully prepared from the purest and best ingredients,
consequently the most costly cough medicine on the market. In buying “
Dr. BELL’S PINE-TAR-HONEY you get as big a
bottle and more doses for 25 cents than you do ot
any other, but the druggist’s profit is less.
Therefore some druggists are cunningly persuading
their customers to buy that which to
them means greater profit.
