THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi
cal Health.
The experience of Motherhood ip a try
ing one to most women nnil movies dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsuch
times, but many approach the experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
In many homes
once childless there
are now children be
cause of the fact
that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s V egetable
Compound makes
women normal,
healthy and strong.

dential) Lynn, Mass. Your letter will

won on his bluff
How an American Consul Brought
a Dictator to Terms.
A THREAT AND A SURPRISE.
The Venezuelan Despot to Whom Uncle
Sam's Official Had Issued a Comic
Opera Ultimatum First Go,t on His
High Horse and Then Stepped Down.
A great many years ago Phil Hanna
was consul at Ln c!mi.via. Yonczuelu,
when a little revolution broke out. A
military martinet in eommuiid of the
town iimiouueed himself dictator and.
needing money t<> eurry on his activi
ties. seized n bunch of American, Eng
lish and German residents in the place
and locked them in the town Jail.
They were informed that they would
bo released when they had made cer
tain cash contributions to the revolu
tionary war chest.
llauna was notified of the situation,
and. looking up the consulate and leav
ing an extra sized American ilag fly
ing. he marched up to Die headquar
ters of the dictator.
"Mr. Dictator," said Hanna. "1 note
that you have locked up a number of
Americans. Permit me to introduce
myself as the American consul.”
The dictator asked what, interest that
fact: had for him.
"It. signifies that, I inn here in the
name of my government to demand
that these Americans be released in
stantly." replied Ilanua.
“Can’t do a thing for you." replied
the general. “They’ve been told that
when they cough up they'll tie turned
loose.”
"They'll lie turned loose without
coughing and without delay," retorted
Hanna. "1 desire, in the name of my
government, to say that if the Ameri
cans and nil the European citizens
whom you have locked up are uot re
leased by ti o'clock this afternoon I
shall proceed to shell the town.”
“To shell—what’ll you shell it with?”
snorted the dictator. "Why. yon
haven't an American ship within a
thousand miles, and you know it.”
“What 1 said.” replied Ilanua with
frozen faced dignity, "was that if those
people are not released by C o'clock I'll
shell the town." And be marched out
again.
Hanna knew perfectly well that (here
wasn't an American ship nearer than
New Orleans, and he knew the dictator
knew it. But he hud something up his
sleeve. He went back to his ofilee and
waited patiently, meanwhile sending a
clerk down to the water front to watch
tilings.
The day wore on to midafternoon.
Hanna was getting nervous. He must
make good somehow. At last his mes
senger returned.
“Two British cruisers are coming inf.
the harbor, sir." lie reported.
“1 knew they were due today," re
plied Hanna. “Now, you get word to
the commander about what we've dom'
here and tell him it's very important
for him to come and see me."
At 5 o'clock that afternoon three very
impressive officers in the uniform of
the British navy came ashore and
marched straight to the American con
ku late.
Hanna slouched out of his chair,
shook hands all round and explained
his scrape. The naval man wanted to
know how he could best serve the
necessities of the moment.
“Just go back on shipboard and begin
clearing those vessels for action in
the most ostentatious way you can
replied Hanna. “I’ll do the rest.”
As soon ns the necessary time had
elapsed to assure that these facts would
have duly Impressed themselves on his
dictatorship Hanna started for the
palace again. He didn't have to wait
for admittance.
“Have the American and European
prisoners been released?” be asked.
“They have not yet.” replied the die
tator.
"Then permit me to say that at G
o’clock sharp, ns I mentioned this mom
ing. I begin shelling this town!”
"Where’s your American ships?” per
sisted the dictator.
"The two British cruisers that have
entered the harbor today are under my
orders.” replied the American consul
“and we’ll blow you and your town off
tills coast before morning if you don’t
perform. Do you get it?”
The dictator didn’t know whether it
was bluff or not. hut at 0:59 o'clock the
prisoners were turned loose.
Hanna got a promotion for the job.—

FANGS OF A RATTLER.
Long, Curved and Hollow Are These
Deadly Poison Syringes.
A ratMewimke dues nut coil up like a
ship's cable, as it Is so often pictured,
blit In a more Irregular fashion, with
tile rattle hearing tail free In the tuid
die aud the neck bent hack upon itself
so us to he qulekly filing forward In
striking. A snake when alarmed or ir
ritated often opens its mouth and pro
trudes Its longue. Many think that
the poison lin ks here. As a manor of
fact, the tongue is a delicate sense or
guu. corresponding to our car*, and a
snake may ho said to hear w'itli Its
tongue.
The teeth of an ordinary harmless
water snake are like little needles, and.
i It hough such a snake may, strike ami
bite viciously, tile wound amounts to
nothing. On (tie other baud. In a rat
tlesnake or other venomous serpent
there is a pair of long curved hollow
fangs in the fore pact of the mouth
that are very different from the other
teeth. These connect with the poison
duels, and when the snake strikes and
closes Its jaws the apparatus works
like a hypodermic syringe, the pressure
of the closing jaws squeezing the ve
nom from the poison sac through the
hollow fang into the wound. Some
snakes have only grooved fangs instead
of hollow ones, hut the effect is the
sn me.
Treatment for the bite of a rattle
snake should he prompt and drastic.
The time honored whisky treatment is
useless. The poison works in tile blood,
and the first move should he to tie a
ligature between the wound and the
heart, so as to keep it oat of the cir
culation. The next step should he to
cut open tlie wound and hy squeezing
and sucking get rid of the venom as
quickly as possible. The wound should
he thoroughly washed out with a solu
tion of permanganate of potash and
kept moist with an antiseptic dressing
Travelers who are apt to be exposed
to bites of poisonous serpents should
carry a hypodermic syringe and as
soon as bitten Inject a permanganate
solution liberally all about the wound.
Tills requires nerve, but people with
out nerve should avoid tile vicinity of
rattlesnakes.—St- Louis Republic.
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
Action of the Air When an Electrio
Bulb Explodes.
if a small lump of ice is placed on a
plate and light allowed to fall on it
through an ordinary reading glass so
that the burning focus comes within
tlie ice a very interesting thing may
be seen. The Ice will begin to melt
inside at the point of focus. As ice
shrinks on melting, a space will tic left
oh ncount of the melted Ice not taking
up so mndi room as it did when it
was ice. This space is almost a vaeu
um and is filled with water vapor of
very small pressure.
I f the piece of ice be left in the sun to
mult from the outside in. as it usually
does, the walls of the previously made
hole get thinner and thinner. As the
pressure of the atmosphere is fifteen
pounds to the square inch and as the
pressure inside the hole is very slight,
there will come a time when the out
side air pressure will collapse the lee
with an explosive sound.
The name phenomenon is apparent
when an electric bulb is broken. Peo
ple say it explodes, but as a matter of
fact it Is crushed Inward on all sides
hy the atmospheric pressure. But it
is known b.v every one that pieces of
glass fly to every corner of tlie room
when a bulb explodes, and the fact of
its being crushed is not so easily seen
The only explanation ns to why glass
flies everywhere instead of nicely col
lapsing into a closely packed rnaSR of
cracked glass at the center of the de
funct bulb is that as two pieces on
opposite sides are burled inward to
ward the center they do not always
exactly strike each other and may miss
each other altogether. When they do
this of course they keep on as they
were going—right into different parts
of the room. So if a person holds a
bulb painted on one side only, with
the painted side away from his face
and with the clear side directly in
front of his face and breaks it, he
will find that most of the glass strlk
Ing him will he painted and that In the
room opposite him will not be. Right
at his feet should he pieces of both.—
