tfow Mr*. Hurley Was Re-
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Eldon, Mo. - “I was troubled with
displacement, inflammation and female
i weakness. For two
years I could not
stand on my feet
long at a time and I
could not walk two
blocks without en
during cutting and
drawing pains down
my right side which
increased every
month. I have been
at that time purple
in the face and would
walk the floor. I could not lie down or
sit still sometimes for a day and a night
at a time. I was nervous, and had very
little appetite, no ambition, melancholy,
and often felt as though I had not a
friend in the world. After I had tried
most every female remedy without suc
cess, mv mother-in-law advised me to
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. I did so and gained in
strength every day. I have now no trou
ble in any way and highly praise your
medicine. It advertises itself.’’—Mrs.
S. T. Hurley, Eldon, Missouri.
Remember, the remedy which did
this was Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. For sale everywhere.
It has helped thousands of women
who have been troubled with displace
ments, inflammation, ulceration, tumors,
irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing down feeling, indigestion,
and nervous prostration, after all other
means have failed. Why don’t you try
it? Lydia Q. Pinkham Medicine Co.,

ARCHIMEDES AND HIS LEVER.
The Feet of Raising the Earth From a
Scientific Viewpoint.
"Give me a fulcrum and n place on
which to stand and I will raise the
earth from Its place!” That Is a sav
ing popularly attributed in Archimedes
If the required conditions were posst
hie the feat might lie performed, hut
In addition to providing a fulcrum and
a place ou which to stand Archimedes
would also have to lie furnished un In
dehuite lease of life
To raise ihe earth a height of one
Inch by the force which Archimedes
would have been capable of exerting
would take not only an extremely Ions
lever, but an extremely long time, as
can he readily shown
We shall assume the following data
in our calculation: That the earth is
a sphere 7.1)26 miles in diameter and
that 5.5 is Its mean density; also that
the lever lias no weight. Should we
design n real lever It would be of such
enormous size and weight that Ar
chimedes’ weight would lie a negligible
quantity
If tlie earth is 7.026 miles In diame
ter tile volume is about 201.000.300.000
cubic miles, or 3S.qtHi.000,000,000.000.
000.000 cubic feel, and if the density
Is 5.5 the weight per cubic foot would
be about 344 pounds, which multiplied
by the volume would give as the
weight of the earth 13.20!),600.000.000.
000,000,000.000 pounds. We shall as
sume. further, that Archimedes weigh
ed 150 poiiuds and that "the place on
which to stand" was some distant
star; then. If the fulcrum Is one mile
from the point of application ot the
lever to the earth the length of the
power arm of the lever, or the dls
tnnee of Archimedes' "standing place."
would have to he 88.004.000.000.000.■
000,000.000 miles.
To move the earth a dlstnnee of one
Inch Archimedes end of the lever
would have to move through a dis
tance of 1.3.88.000.000.000.000,000 miles
Now, If Archimedes should take hold
of the end of the lever and apply his
weight of 150 pounds to it and should
move off into space with the velocity
of light, or 180.000 miles a second, it
would take him 237.000 years to fin
ish the job he proposed, so that now.
nearly 2.2<MJ years after making the
famous dictum, he would barely have
started the undertaking.—C. O. Sand-
strom In Scientific American.
FALLING A MILE.
Curious Effect of Dropping Rocks Down
a Drep Mine Shaft.
In reference to the deep mine shafts
at Calumet some experiments conduct
ed ti.v members of the faculty ot the
Michigan College of Mini** are Inter
esting It had been noticed that lu
the vertical shafts at ihe Tamarack
mine If some ore or rock were spilled
near the surface men working lu the
bottom of the shaft a mile below were
not much bothered un d sometimes
only observed “a little dust." It is
staled tImt a car of broken rock could
be dumped Into the shaft without in
jury to a man standing directly under
neath a mile down
The reason Is thut ihe rock would
never reach the bottom, but would
lodge In the sides of the shaft on Hie
timbers that protrude a few Inches at
Intervals—that is, the rock would not
fall straight, since these shafts are
exactly vertical.
In tlie experiments conducted two
round metal balls were dropped Into
the center of a shaft by burning
threads by which they wef\S suspend
ed. so as to give them no lateral mo
tion. It was tried to catch the halls
in a box of clay in tlie bottom of the
shaft None of them was caught One
ball was never found afterward. The
other was found In tlie east wall of the
shaft only a few hundred feet below
the surface.
The explanation Is that the earth Is
revolving from west to east, which
gave the ball an eastward component
in its fall because it particle ou the
surface of the earth is traveling tit a
higher rate of speed than one nearer
the center, although at the same angu
lar velocity. Thus a ball or rock drop
ped In the shaft will strike the east
wall a few hundred feet from tlie sur
face. possibly then rebounding several
times In its drop until it lodges on u
timber or ou a level.—Engineering Mag-
uzine.

Unnecessary Alarm.
When Frederick the Great, at the be
ginning of the Seven Veers’ war. was
in possession of Dresden tie went to
view the works of art lu the royul
picture gallery. The gallery director.
Iietdel. took the king through all the
rooms and explained each picture as
they went along. Frederick expressed
his unreserved admiration for all the
pictures, but when be came before u
certain painting by Correggio he stop
ped, viewing it with particular interest
"If you are willing,'’ be said sudden
ly, “I should like to huve that pic
ture”—
Reidel gasped, for he expected tbe
king to say that he wished the picture
for bimselt. Hut the king noticed his
anxiety and. striking him on the shoul
der. said, laughing;
“If you are willing I should like to
have thut picture copledl" — Youth’s

Bora and Caliber.
The bore of a shotgun is determined
by the circumference of any one of u
given number of lead bullB of equal
weight, the total weight of which la
one pound. For instance, the circum
ference of the barrel of a ten bore
shotgun Is equal to tbe circumference
of any one of ten lead balls of equal
weight the total weight of which is
one pound.
The caliber of a rifle is the diameter
of the bore of its harrel measured In
hundredths of an Inch. The diameter
of the bore of a 32 caliber rifle is
thirty-two hundredths of an inch.—

its limit wuen one learns that such an
intangible and weightless thing as light

Tbe Htrangest feature of the pheuoin

Don’t Try to Bully tbe World.
National News Service,
Don’t try to bully the world. It does
not pay. Wnoever enters the ring for
a rough and tumble tight with public
opinion is pretty sure to be “knocked
out.” Society is a Brisaeru-, and who
would think of encountering with a
single pair of fiBts a hundred-armed
fellow? Better shake the multitudinous
hand of the giant good-naturedly than
to unnecessarily provoke hiB wrath.
Despise the world, if it so please you:
but as you have to live in the world
and to lean on the world, it is just as
well to treat it civilly. Shrewd men,
who understand their race, never seek
to quarrel with society. They under
stand that it is possible for an individual
to lead and quietly control a community,
but not to light it down, and not to
force it to their way - of thinking by
means of narrow lawB. If you desire to
reform supposed or real evils or dis
abuse your fellow-men of their preju
dices, the surest way not to succeed is
to resort to denunciation and abuBf.
Kindness, conciliation and the influence
of a good example —these are the true
and effective means of reform.
Bert Willis is a very nervous, fidgety
young man. While traveling on a train
one day he chanced to be seated next
to a woman who held a baby. The in
fant’s face was covered with a thick
veil and every now and then it. would
utter a sharp cry, which the woman
endeavored to suppress. Young Willis
watched the proceedings with consider
able anxiety for some time, and finally,
leaning over toward the woman, asked:
“HaB—has that baby any—anything
contagious, madam?”
The woman turned and looked at him
with an expression in which scorn and
pity were blended.
“Well, ’twouldn’t be for most folks,
but maybe ’twould be for you,” Bhe re
plied sharply—"he’s teething.”
“Your Bhow was the wors£ we have

the company. “Why, when we played
in Chicago, we had the longest run in
the history of the city."
“I’m sorry,” replied the manager of
the opera house.
“Sorry about what?” demanded the
manager of the company.
“Sorry the audimee abandoned the

A small boy went up to another in the
