To protect newspapers against Iresale a new press attachment [places a metal clip on the outer | e dges of the paper, which must he 1 torn loose before the paper can be [opened for reading.

To indicate when the postman tings mail without the necessity the mail slot is provided with a. lever, which makes an electrical connection when it is pushed open by the insertion of mail in the slot.

The number of people in the United States is -estimated in round numbers at 75, GOO, 000. Now tiie men engaged <>n our side in the present war are not likely to exceed 200,-000. While this is by no means a weak fighting force it is the merest fraction of the total population. Should all the volunteers and all of the regular army be sent out of the country to Cuba and the Phillipines or el sew lie re there would still remain 74,500.000 men, women, and. chil dren whose necessities would have to he supplied just the same as it the country was in a state of pro found peace. The immense army of homestayerd will continue to eat, and wear shoes, and need clothes just as they did before even a thought of war was enter tained toward the Spanish. They will need just as many clothes to wear, they will need houses to live in and all the comforts and con veniences pertaining to the house hold, and they will have just as much money to buy all these things with as they had before war was declared. There is no logical reason why there should not be as much work for the wageearner now as there was this time last year and even more, for many of the men who have en listed have given up positions which will now be filled by others. Of course the war must create a demand for a number of staple commodities which involve the employment of labor. Food and clothing will be required for 200,- 000 people who will become non producers. Though exerting a de pressing effect on certain kinds of business there is no good reason why war should cause business to lag generally.—Savannah Press. Yankee. The Jacksonville Tftnes-Uiuon and Citizen is our authority for the statement that the word Yan kee got into use this way: In 1713 one Jonathan Hastings, a farmer at Cambridge in New York, used the word as a puffing epithet, meaning genuine, American-made, what cannot be surpassed, hardy, self-reliant, etc. The students of the college, catching up the term, called Hastings “Yankee Jona than.” It soon spread and be come the jocose pet name of the New Englander. Since that time the term was extended to any American of the Northern States, after which it was applied during the Civil war to mean the Federal forces. Now it is applied since the Spanish- American war by all the world to Americans, regardless of geograph ical divisions either in territory or in politics, and accepted in the United States as such. Yankee Doodle is Yankee Doo dle (Oliver Cromwell), who went to Oxford “with a single feather fastened in a macaroni knot,” ‘‘Yankee Doodle came to town upon Ins little pony, Stack a feather in his hat, and called it macaroni.” The brigade under Lord Percy marched out of. Boston playing this air “by way of contempt,” bnt were told, they should dance to it soon in another spirit. It is said that the Persians call the Americans Yanki dooniah.

One of these forms of suffering is a dull, persistent pain in the side, accompanied by heat and throbbing. Mas. Luca* Peasley, Derby Center. Vt., 1 says:—“I was very miserable; was so weak that*I could (hardly get around the house, could do , nothing without feeling tired out. “My monthly periods had stopped and I was so tired and nerv ous all of the time. I was trou bled very much with falling of the womb and bearing-down pains. A | friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; I have taken five bottles, and think it is the best medicine I ever used. Now I can work, and feel like myself. I used to be troubled greatly with my head, but I have had no bad headaches or palpi tation of the heart, womb trouble or bearing-clown pains, since I commenced to take Mrs. Pinkham's medicine. I gladly recommend the Vegetable Com pound to every suffering woman. The use of one bottle will prove what it can do.” ASecret.
