I was troubled with profuse flow¬

in bed, had not sat up for six months; was under a doctor's
treatment all the time, but it did me no good. I had almost
given up in despair, but your Vegetable Compound has made
me feel like a new woman. I cannot thank you enough. I
would advise any woman who is afflicted as I have been to
write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., and get her ad¬
vice and be cured as I have
been.”
Mrs. F. H. Allf.v, 419 Ne¬

writes:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham;—
Change of life was working on i
me. My kidneys and bladder
were affected. I had been
confined to the house all sum¬ y
mer, not able to stand v 7*j
on my feet for any
length of time. Terri¬ m

nearly drove me wild.
I had tried many reme¬
dies. I told my bus- ilm
band I had great faith

\ I feel that I am entirely cured. I can work all day. I can hardly
' realize that such a wonderful cure is possible. Lydia E. Pink-

An Ostrich Legend.
The Arabs have a curious legend to
account for the ostrich's residence in
the desert. On a certain appointed
day, so it is said, all crested beings
met together to decide upon their re¬
spective order and precedence. All
went well until the ostrich, pleading
its inability to fly, disowned the birds
and claimed to take rank with the
mammals. These, however, would
have nothing to say to a creature
clothed, not with furs, but with feath¬
ers; while the birds, when it went de¬
jectedly back, repudiated it also
as a traitor to its race. The ostrich,
however, was equal to the occasion
and declared that, being neither mam¬
mal nor bird, it must be an angel;
whereupon all the other animals in¬
dignantly rushed upon It and drove it
before them to the desert, where it has
lived in solitude ever since.

A FRIEND OF FRANCE.
CONSPICUOUS FIGURE IN THE
EXCITING EVENTS AT PARIS.
M. Qncgnar He Beanrepaire, Whoso Ac

of Cassation lias Astounded All the

M. Jules Quesnay de Beaurepaire has
had rapid advancement in the French
magistracy, owing, as many persons of
different parties in Paris assert, to po¬
litical Influence and to his dexterity.
After the war*with Prussia, having
tried editing a newspaper and attempt¬
ed without success to get into Parlia¬
ment, he took up again the career of
a magistrate, which he had given up
when the empire fell. Within four
years he was made Advocate-General
at Paris, where he prepared the case
against Louis Michel. Six, years later,
in 1889, he was promoted to Procur-
eur-General (equivalent to Attorney-
General) on the refusal of his predeces¬
sor to prosecute General Boulanger.
Later he insisted on conducting the
case against Ravachol, the anarchist,
In person. His conduct at the time of
the Panama trials was so ambiguous
that his resignation was practically
forced from him, and he was shelved
in the position he has just resigned—
that of presiding judge in one of the

tion. The appointment was severely
criticised at the time as being a job.

WHERE TIN IS BEING MINED.
Sources from Which the DeairatSle
Product Is Obtained.
The tin used in the tin plate indus¬
try comes from several sources. The
best of these is found in Australia and
1 the straits settlements. The latter fur¬
nish the most desirable tin, known as
Banca tin. This is regarded as the
purest, and is in consequence more
sought after by the manufacturers of
j tin plate. The Cornwall mines were
discovered about 55 B. C., and for
twelve centuries were the one source
of this mineral. In 1240 tin was found
in Bohemia. Five hundred years later,
in 1760, the Banca mines were opened.
In the following century Australia be-
j came a producer of block tin on a
I large scale. From 1872 tin has been
found in commercial quantities in New
South Wales, Queensland and Tas¬
mania.’ The United States have not
been so fortunate, although many at¬
tempts have been made from time to
time to find tin. Tin was discovered
j in California as early as 1840, but
there was no mining done until 1868.
Only for a short time were the mines
operated; they were then closed down
and remained so until 1888. In this
year an American company bought the
property with the intention of oper¬
ating it, but it was sold to an English
syndicate before two years had pass¬
ed. Something like $800,OOp was spent,
but no special results were secured.
The total product of the mine was
j 269,00-0 pounds of tin, valued at $56,000.
The Harney Peak mine is the story of
another futile attempt to get tin in
| commercial quantities. The Harney
Peak, as it is familiarly called, is situ¬
ated near Custer City, S. D. A great
deal of money has been spent in the
development of this mine, but *it is
doubtful if more than ten tons of metal
have been taken out of the ground.
The English capitalists were also
heavily Interested in this attempt In
Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia
tin-bearing rock has been found. In
no sense can the United States be re¬
garded as a tin-producing country.
Just «
a Hint.
“Father,” asked Tommy, the other
day, “why is it that the hoy is said
to be the father of the man?” Mr.
Tomkins had never given this subject
any thought, and was hardly prepared
to answer off hand. “Why, why,” he
said, stumblingly, “it’s so because it
is so, I suppose.” “Weli,” said Tommy,
"since I’m your father, I’m going to
give you a ticket to a theater and half
a crown besides. I always said that
if I was a father I wouldn’t be so
stingy as the rest of them are. Go
in, and have a good time while you’re
young, I never had any chance my-
self!” Mr. Tomkins gazed in blank
amazement at Tommy. Slowly the
significance of the hint dawned upon
him. Producing the silver coin he said:
"Take it, Thomas. When you really
do become a father, I hope it won’t be
your misfortune to have a son who is
smarter than yourself.”—Tit-Bits.

(EMPRESS’ MURDERER.
How the Slayer Will Be Treated In
Prison.
The prison of L’Eveche, at Geneva,
in which Luccheni is now undergoing
hts sentence, was built about fifty
years ago. Today, no doubt, it IS not
up to the last improvements, but nev¬
ertheless It is superior to the majority
of prisons in Switzerland and in many
other countries. The prisoners in
L’Eveche pass the nights In cells built
on three floors, and opening on to in¬
side galleries. During the day they
work together In workshops. Luc¬
cheni will be subjected to the treat¬
ment common to all prisoners con¬
demned to penal servitude for life. His
cell, like all the other cells, will be
about three and a half meters In
length, two meters in width, and two
and a half in height. The daylight en¬
ters by a longtitudinal opening, pro¬
tected by iron bars and a slanting
shutter, which allows him only to see
the sky. His furniture will consist
of a bed composed of a palliasse, sheet
and coverlet, and a table and stool;
he will be allowed to make himself a
bracket, and to decorate his walls with
any pictures he may happen to ac¬
quire. In winter he will get up be¬
fore daylight and will go to bed at
nightfall. There are no lights In the
cells. During the night his clothes
will he removed from his cell to pre¬
vent any attempt to escape. During
the day he will work in the workshops,
unless he prefers to work in his cell,
which he will be permitted to do.
He will work at carpentry, bookbind¬
ing, making boots or wooden shoes,
sorting coffee grains, etc., etc., accord¬
ing to the aptitude he may show, but
without speaking a word to anyone,
except to his jailer when his work
requires it. He will receive a small
portion of what is gained by his work.
His meals will consist of coffee and
milk in the morning, a vegetable with
boiled potatoes in the middle of the
day, soup in the evening, with 645
grammes of bread a day. On Thurs¬
days and Sundays the vegetable will
be replaced by 250 grammes of meat.
After each meal the prisoners have
half an hour’s exercise in the court¬
yard, marching in single file one after
the other, the same as in every other
prison. In winter, Luccheni will he
dressed in jacket and trousers and cap
of gray “milaine,” with yellow stripe.
On Sundays he can get books from the
prison library, and can write if he
wishes. He is allowed to receive dur-
ing the year six visitors in the parlor,
and in the presence of a jailer, hut to
receive or send letters only with the
permission of the director of the pris¬
on, who examines their contents.
AN ENEMY OF LABOR UNIONS.
Judge Peter Stenger Grosscup, who
has been nominated by the president
to be judge of the seventh United
States circuit court for the northern
Illinois district, in place of the late
Judge Showalter, has had a distin¬
guished career since he was elevated
to the bench which he now leaves for
his larger sphere of duty. Prior to
that appointment, which was made by
President Harrison in 1892, Judge
Grosscup was an eminent lawyer in
Chicago! He came to that city in 1883
from Ohio, where he had been prom¬
inent in law and politics for some
time. It is not generally known that
Judge Grosscup once lived in the same
congressional district with President
McKinley when the latter was mak¬
ing his reputation in congress. In
fact, Maj. McKinley was nominated for
congress by the brilliant lawyer, who
stumped the district for the success of
the republican candidate. Mr. Gross¬
cup himself was twice a candidate for
congress in Ohio, and was well known
in that state as a republican orator.
The judge was born at Ashland, Ohio,
in 1852. He is a graduate of Witten-
JHHs!

A REMARKABLE MAN.
LOUIS BETTS, KING OF KAS-
KASKIA ISLAND.
Ills Farm Was Washed Away Twenty
five Years Ago by a Change lu the
Mighty Mla.lHglaid'. Coarse— lie Saw
Gen. Lafayette.
Perhaps the most remarkable char¬
acter in Illinois today is old Louis
Betts, an inhabitant of Kaskaskla is¬
land. Betts is In the eighty-fourth
year of his life, and is spending his
latter days in the one habitable room
of one of the few tumble-down old
houses that form what is left of the
historic old village of Kaskaskla.
Louis Betts Is the last living indi¬
vidual of a peculiar type well known in
the vicinity of Kaskaskla in the early
part of the nineteenth century. His
mother was a mixture of negro and In¬
dian, while his father was a full-blood¬
ed Frenchman. The old man’s skin Is

almost copper-colored. His hair is
combed hack from his forehead and
falls in little ringlets about his ears,
which are as small and neatly molded
as some beautiful young woman’s. He
has a sharp, well-set nose and his lips
are thin and now drawn by old age.
His sharp, piercing blue eyes blink ex-
pressively from his shriveled little face
and in no way does he resemble a ne-
gro save in his hair. The Indian shows
itself In his skin.
Betts speaks French as fluently as
he does English. He was born in 1815
and was 10 years old when General
Lafayette visited Kaskaskia in 1825.
The old man says that he can remem¬
ber the occasion and is always ready
to give an account of the great event.
In 1851 Betts, with a party of pros¬
pectors, made the trip across the plains
in a prairie schooner to the gold fields
of California. But Betts came back in
a very short while, and he says today
that "there wa’n’t no chance for a
poor man out there then.”
He has not been off Kaskaskia is¬
land for more than twenty-five years.
Year after year he has remained in
the tumble-down old village and
watched the constant efforts of the
mighty Mississippi river to com¬
pletely wash away the historic
spot. Betts was at one time
wealthy and owned a fertile farm
near the junction of the Mississippi
and Kaskaskia rivers, but when the
former stream decided that her course
had been cut out wrong and changed
her current to the channel of the Kas¬
kaskia the Betts farm went floating
down the river and helped to form
the great Mississippi delta. During the
long summer months the old man sits
on the river’s bank, near the spot for¬
merly occupied by the famous Kas¬
kaskia tavern, and tells stories of
events in the bygone days of the old
town.
He was one of the members of that
remarkable funeral train when, in 1844,
during the flood in the Mississippi val¬
ley, the remains of Pierre Menard, the
first lieutenant-governor of Illinois,
who died in his mansion on the op¬
posite side of the river, were taken
across to Kaskaskia in a rowboat.
During the winter the old man sel¬
dom leaves his home, and it took much
coaxing to get him far enough from
the door to take his picture. He was
never before photographed and to him
it was a novel experience. He wanted
one of the pictures and thought it
strange that they had to be put
through a process before they were
perfected.
