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.

"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.

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.

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 ever had here,” said the manager of the Hickville opera house, as he hand ed the manager of Fly-by-Night com pany his share of the box office receipts. “That’s queer,” said the man-iger of 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 chase,” replied the manager of the opera house.
