The ordinary every-day life of most of our women is a
ceaseless treadmill of work.
How much harder the daily tasks become when some
derangement ainful and of the female organs makes every movement
p One day keeps she is the nervous system all unstrung !
wretched and utterly miserable ; in a day
or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there
is deadly nothing backache much the matter after all'; but before night the
reappears, the limbs'tremble, the lips twitch
-—it seems as though all the imps of Satan were clutching
her vitals ; she goes to pieces and is flat on her back.
No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of
misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of
womb troublesl^She must remember that Lydia E, Pink-
kam’s Vegetable Compound is almost an infallible cure
for all female ins, such as irregularity of periods, which causo

ALLIES ARE HELPLESS
Their Forces Now In China Could
Be Easily Outgeneraled,
LONDON PAPERS ARE DESPONDENT
Prominent Journal^Elatnes Russia and
United States For Present Unsatis¬
factory Situation.
The London Spectator, in a striking
article dialing with the Chinese crisis,
expresses the opinion that the most
recent developments at Pekin fore¬
shadow a Chinese victory over the
allies.
“The quarrel has been broaght to
the test of force,” it says, “aud force
on the civilized side has proved in¬
sufficient. This result is mainly due
the attitude of Russia ahd the United
States. If China escapes with the
payment of a small indemnity and
xtany promises on paper, as seems not
unlikely, since Germany and Grea*
Britain may not be willing to incur
the expenditure and risk involved in
persisting in their demands, it will be
equivalent to a victory for China, for
nothing has occurred which will con¬
vince the Chinese that their mighty
empress has been defeated or that
Europe can avenge any future massa
cres.”
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Morning Post, wiring Thursday, saye:
“Despite the cordial reception given
Admiral Seymour, the situation is un¬
changed. The Hankow viceroy re
fuses to stop sending supplies to tb
court unless the Nankin viceroy wil
also refuse; and the latter, althoug
he undertakes to send no more arms
says be must continue sending sup
plies so long as the emperor requires
them.
“In fact, all our remonstrauces
amount to a miserable farce. Wo havi
no courage to do more than to talk.
In the Chinese theater here the ailie>
are represented by a soldier with ai
enormous mouth, who does nothing
but talk until his career is ended bj
decapitation.”
“The Janese consul here,” says tht
Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
London News, “acting under instruc
tions from Tokio, has withdrawn his
assent to the consular proclamation
forbidding the importation of articles
used in the manufacture of war arti
cles. This action has caused general
surprise. It is rumored that the
Chinese are actively purchasing arm«
and ammunition and the customs offi
cials are conniving at tbe passage of
false declarations, under the official
instructions.”
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Times, says:
“Reports of uneasiness at Tieu Tain
continue. Chinese regulars and box¬
er’s are believed to be returning to that
district secretly and a renewal of
trouble is feared when the port is
closed for the winter,
“It is alleged that the Kalgan ex¬
pedition met with a reverse aud it is
believed that a party of Germans who
were cut off were obliged to abandon
their dead and wounded.”
On the other hand Count von Wal
dersee has telegraphed to Berlin that
the German column was returning
from Kalgan and would continue the
march under General Gayl.”
A similar reverse had been previous¬
ly rumored and denied at Berlin.
MANY KILLED IN ACCIDENT.
Roof of Glass Factory Collapses With
Crowd of Men and Boys.
Not in tbe history of San Francisco
has an accident happened approaching
in horrible details that of Thursday,
when more than a hundred men and
boys, who were viewing the Stanford-
California football game from the roof
of an adjoining glass manufactory,
were suddenly precipitated into the
interior of the building, many on top
of the white hot furnaces.
The ventilator annex to the roof, on
which they were perched, collapsed
under the strain aud without warning
fourteen persons were hurled to their
death. The injured now being cared
for in hospitals or at their homes num¬

OSTEOPATHS TURNED DOWN.
The Georgia Senate Kot In Favor of
Licensing tlie New Cult.
The adverse action of the Georgia
senate on the report of the general
judiciary committee on the osteopathy
bill came in the nature of a surprise,
as the passage of the measure was re¬
garded as certain. When it was seen,
at last, that the issue would be a close
one in the senate, an attempt was
made to ameud the bill, so as to allow
osteopathists to practice their profes¬
sion iu the state without formally rec¬
ognizing them by law. The amend¬
ment failed and the bill was subse¬
quently defeated by a vote of 19 to 18.

WOMEN EXECUTIONERS.
Belgium Had One Recently and Virginia Had
One Years Ago.
What do you think of a woman who
voluntarily offered herself to the Gov¬
ernment as the public executioner?
A few* years ago the official public
executioner at Brussels died and a
substitute was temporarily appointed.
On one occasion this person was ill
and unable to attend. But at the ap-
pointed hour a stout middle-aged wo-
man presented herself at the central
police station and quietly remarked to
the assembled functionaries:
“ I’ve come for the execution. My
husband is not very well this morning,
and has asked me to take his place.
Please let us get to business.”
Tbe general supefaction may be
more easily imagined than described
which, being noticed by tbe would-be
Jady executioner, she added in a reas-
suring tone: “ Oh, this is~not by any
means the first time.”
It afterward transpired that the wo¬
man, whose name was Marie Rege,
had officiated on several occasions iu
lieu of her husband. Dressed up in his
clothes and he- face masked, ’ she had
, been the .. public ... executioner at several
executions, and never had the pro¬
ceedings been interrupted by a single
hitch. It is needless to say that the
police authorities were unable to avail
themselves of her offer ou this occa-
siou, however.
It Will be a surprise to most people
to learn that there has actually been a
woman executioner in this country. In
olden times few cared to undertake
the office of execqtioner, and oeca-
’
sionaiiy death sentences were respited .
on condition that the criminal should
perform this office. A case of this sort
occurred in pre—Revelutiopjery days,
when a woman was sentenced to death
for a murder she had committed in
Virginia. The death sentence was
respited on her offering to become
public executioner, and known as
“ Lady Betty ” she performed these
duties for many years. She officiated
on the scaffold without any mask or
disguise, and flogged criminals through
the Streets with enthusiastic vigor.
SODA WATER FOUNTAIN IN ENGLAND.
It would be difficult to find a more
peculiar American institution than the
soda water fountain, or one which
would act as a more immediate aud
powerful reminder of the scenes with
which lie Is familiar In his native land
,, than the ,, marble-faced, , , . , many-faucet- „ ,
ed and nickel-resplendent structure
which , . . is . one of ... the numerous devices , .
by which the American citizen tem-
pers the fierceness of the periodical
“hot wave.” Hence the introduction of
the soda water fountain into Great
Britain, as referred to in a recent re ¬
port by the American consul at Bir¬
mingham, may he regarded as a not¬
able Instance of the interchange of
ideas and customs between this coun-
try and Great Britain which is
growing more marked every year. It
seems that in a window of a “chemist
shop” in Birmingham there was ex¬
hibited during the summer months a
sign advertising various sodas and
phosphates. The proprietor, who is
quoted as “an enterprising man who
is ready to try new things,” has prov¬
ed his fountain to be a striking suc¬
cess. It seems that an American soda
fountain syndicate has taken up the
matter of these hot weather necessities
in England, and a number of cities
uow have fountains in successful op¬
eration.
St. Paul’s Llghtniu? Rod*.
One of the most perfect lightning-
fod systems ever applied to a build¬
ing has just been installed at St.
Paul’s Cathedral, London. The old
theory that a lightning rod protected
a space all around it having a radius
equal to the height of the rod was
abandoned and a system of conductors,
horizontal and perpendicular, compris¬
ing over a mile of cables, was substi-
tuted for the primitive arrangement,
The upper terminals consisted of
about fifty aigrettes composed of
groups of solid copper spikes and tlie
ground terminals were made by driv-
ing ii-on pipes to a great depth into
the earth, with provision for keeping
the surrounding earth moist by pour¬
ing water down the pipes. In many
cases lightning rou systems are utter¬
ly useless, or worse than nothing, be-
cause the ground connection is not
good, either being too small in surface
or made at such a shallow depth that
the earth is dry and makes poor con¬
tact.
LITERAL OBEDIENCE.
The spick-and-span young officer,
who calmly takes command over vet¬
erans grown “gray in battle and vic¬
tory ” is sometimes an amusing person,
particularly if a sense of his own im¬
portance is unduly developed.
Quite recently, says the Youth's
Companion, word was received in var-
ious South African camps that on such
and such a morning every man in Of¬
ficer ’s army must change his
shirt.
The Imperial Light Horse who
formed part of the command, Tiad only
one shirt apiece, and that was on their
backs. So a messenger was despat fil¬
ed to explain. But tlie honorable and
gallant officer, fresh from Sandhurst,
knew his business:
“If the men of the Imperial Light
Horse have not got a second shirt,”
said he, firmly, “let them change shirts
with each other. My orders are im¬
perative.”

The American man or woman is industrious. Oar leisure class la small.
our working world very large. Many of our leading citizens of great wealth
are hard workers. Our laboring classes
are found, in herds and hordes in the
“hives of industry.” What is all this work
for? In most cases it is for daily bread,
in many for maintenance of others. Great
numbers , also , work , to . acquire . wealth.

Maintaining health is the most vital
thing in the world for workers of every
class, Nervura and blood the usefulness and nerve of remedy, Dr. Greene's as a 3
strengthener of the constitutional and
vital powers, is beyond ail question. This
great remedy enters into partnership (
with Nature and helps human beings do
their work without giving up to prema¬
ture decay. The strain of work is on the Z~71
minds of some, on the bodies of others, 1
but the nourishing of either, or both, is \ ?■-—
-
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts
directly on the fountains of health and
its strengthening power is wonderful.

NERVURA ft
for the Blood and Nerves. u
What does the worker do when some chronic
trouble manifests itself ? He takes some stimulant or 8 k
something which is designed for temporary effect, and
simply weakens his already overworked system. How
different from this is the work of Nervura! How
beautiful its support to the natural powers! With¬
out shock of any kind its purely vegetable elements d mi
seek out the weak spots and build them up. Imme¬
diately the circulation of the blood improves and the sluggish ^ F
elements are expelled. The nerves are quieted, the quality of
the blood is enriched and the new and strengthening tide communicates itself
to every muscle of the body.
Mr. JOHN D. SMITH, Electrician for the Thomson-Houiton
Electric Co., of Lynn, Mass., says:
“ When a man has boon sick and is cured, it is hi.« duty to tell others about it, that they
too, may get well. Three years ago I had been working almost night and day, could no*

Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined Co try it. It -cured me com¬
pletely of all mv complaints. I eat heartily and sleep well, thanks to this splendid medicine.
1 believe it to be the best remedy in existence."
Dr. Greene, Nervura’s discoverer, will give all health seekers his
eouneol free of charge. His office is at 35 West 14th Street, New York

TRAVELS OF VVEDDINC GIFTS.
Silverware Coes From One Bride to An-
Other and Sometimes Back to the Shoo,
“I wish people would know enough
to send unmarked prese'nts,” said a
sweet bride, as she stood cotitemplat¬
ing a tableful of silverware. “Here
I must pay good money for a new
wedding present, which I could have
taken from this lot if each piece did
not have a' letter or monogram en¬
graved oil it. I thought I could have
this bowl fixed up, but the thing is so
thin that there would be nothing left
of it if the name were erased,” and
the young woman, who had sent a po¬
lite note thanking her “dear friend”
for the gift, expressed contempt for
the “mean thing.”
A man who had witnessed the scene
and heard the remarks, said later:
“That’s nothing to what happened a
few days ago. A woman purchased a
handsome piece of silver and sent it
unmarked as a wedding present to a
friend. It was the only piece of the
kind in the store—in fact, it had been
made especially as a show piece—and
you may believe that the woman was
surprised when she came to the store
two months later and found the piece
again for sale.
“She asked the salesman how it
came there, and heard, to her amaze-
ment, that it had been returned by the
woman to whom it had been present¬
ed. ‘She brought it back,’ said the
salesman, ‘and asked to have it credit¬
ed to her account.’ ‘And you took it,’
asked the original purchaser, ‘knowing
that I had bought it?’ ‘What could
we do?’ asked the salesman, ‘She is
a good customer, who has an account
with us, and we would have lost her
trade if we had not taken it.’ So, you
see, this woman went a step further
than the people who give away pres-
ents—she actually took the money for
it. If she had -been a ‘cash customer’
at the store the transaction could never
have been consummated, but the sys-
tem by which a ‘charge customer’
may return goods at any time and re¬
ceive credit for them made the dis¬
graceful piece of business possible.
