A LETTER TO WOMEN From Mrs. James Gorrigan. •- For seventeen years I have suffered. Periods were so very painful that I •would have to go to the doctor every month. v. He said that I had an enlargement of the womb, and told my husband that I must undtfrgo an operation, as.,I had tumors in the. .womb, and it was a case of life or death. I was ope­ rated upon twice, but it -j; . did not seem to do me any good, it fnade me very weak. I was troubled with the leu- corrhcea a great deal. I also suffer­ ed with the sick headache, • vomiting . .< spells, back-.. ache all the time, terrible pain in my left side, chills, loss of appetite, and could not sleep nights; Afterstaking several bottles of Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable 'Com-: pound, some Liver Pills, and using.your Sanative tVash, I recovered. •. -V X can eat well, and every one that sees, me tells me I am a different per­ son. I can do all my own work, sleep well and feel well." • I • am growing stronger eVery day, and am able to go out and enjoy a walk and not feel all tired out when I return, as I used to. I doctored for sixteen years, and in all those years I did not feel as well as I do at the present time. I wish that every woman that is troubled as I was, would try that medicine. Oh! it is so good to feel well, and it is all owing to Mrs. Pinkham's kind advice and medicine. --Mbs.

Versailles, • Ky., Claims This Distinction. "William H. Suiitlier, of Versailles, Ky., is the oldest merchant tailor act­ ively at work in the United States. He is 90 years old, and for seventy years, since 1827. he lias steadily plied his needle and shears in a quaint little shop on Court Square, scarcely missing a day from his work. This veteran tail­ or has clwhed as many as° four genera­ tions in the same family dnd a number of Kentucky's most illustrious sons, in­ cluding John J. Crittenden and Senator J. C, S. Blackburn, have been his pat- WIIXIAM II. SMITH EH, ronsT Mr. Smither is hale and hearty; his hair and beard are only just begin­ ning to turn white, and lie has a perfect set. of teeth. His eyesight is good and his bearing is erect.... Hie has never used either tobacco or stimulants. He was a passenger on the initial trip made by the first steamboat that traveled in Ken­ tucky waters, and attended a reception given to the-Marquis de La'Fayette in Versailles in 1825. Mr. Suiither's wife. Drusilla Smither, who is 80 years old, is the oldest woman in the city. They have been married sixty-three years, and confidently.hope to reach their sev- enty-tifth anniversary.'. . HAD A PERSUADIN* TONGUE. Current Condensations. Jacksonville, 'Fin., is to have a baby show for colored infants. The most extensive cemetery in the world is that, at Rome, in which oyer 0,000.000 human beings have been in­ terred. The British isles comprise 1,000 sep­ arate islands and islets, without count­ ing mere jutting rocks or isolated pin­ nacles. . According to the deductions of a well-known astronomer, we receive as much light from the sun as could be emitted by 080.000 full, moons. Out of sixty arbitration treaties among the# nations of the world since 1815. the United States has borne a part in thirty-two--far more than any other nation. Insects are for their size the strong­ est members of the animal creation. Many beetles can lift a weight, equal to more than 500 times the weight ol their own bodies. It was the belief of Livingstone that nearly all lions were "left-lianded." He watched them closely, and when they desired to strike a fierce blow they always used the left paw. A large association of merchants, with headquarters in New York City, has been formed for, the purpose of put­ ting a stop, if possible, to the practice of American tourists in bringing into this country jeweli'y and clothing bought abroad and upon which no duty is paid. Mrs. X. Lehman and daughter, of Jacksonville, Fla.. driving in a buggy, with a single horse, started to cross the F. C. & P. Railroad tracks, when an en­ gine under high speed tore the horse from the wagon and killed it. leaving the women seated in the buggy unin­ jured. A Loudon court has recently done something to settle the social status of artists' models., A young woman brought suit for breach of promise against a mail who had promised to marry her, but had been alarmed by the discovery that instead of sitting for the head alone she had also sat for the figure, though not without drapery The decision of the court was that the profession is respectable, and that she was entitled to damages. It has recently been discovered that there is in Birmingham, in the very center of Christian England, a factory where idols are made for heathen na­ tions! Idols of all kinds are turned out. representing the gods of all heathen nations from Tokio to Timbuctoo. The Went to Telf the Wife of Re^ Widow­ hood and Then Married Her. The crowd had been talking of elo­ quent speakers, and Ingersoll, Bourke Cochran, Depew, Talmage, and other notable orators had in turn been cham­ pioned by their respective admirer^. The old cattleman had listened to it all, and when the talk flagged a little he asked if anybody present had ever heard of Jim Duncan. Nobody had. "I never heard of any of the fellows you mentioned," said the old cattle­ man, "but £ wouldn't be afraid to back Jim against any of 'em fer persuadfn' ways. Jim Duncan was a talker. I'll tell you /what he did one time just as a specimen. There was a fellow named Bob Harris moved to Alliance--that was the name of the town--and he had a young wife, and seemed to be pretty' well fixed. One day Harris was killed up town in a row. Some five or six of us got together and tried to figure out who was to break the news to his Wife. Squire Irvin, our justice of the peace, was the oldest one among us, and we wanted him to go; but lie said.he'd rath­ er face a grizzly bear than to take such news .as that to a woman. Finally we pitched on Jim Duncau to go and tell her. lie bein' so handy with his tongue, and Jim said he wias williD.' to do Ills best. He kind of run his fingers through his red hair, hitched up his cravat, and went into Mrs. Harris' house, while the rest of us waited at the corner. In about fifteen minutes Jim came to the door and called Squire Irvine in. We 'iowed the widow must be cuttih' up real sharp. In ten minutes more Jim came out to us. ' . r •' '• • v"' "'How'ds she stand it, Jim?' we asked. " 'I guess It's pretty well smoothed over,' says .Tim, 'and Mrs. Duncan and me would like all of you to come in and have some refreshments:* ' 4 "Jim Duncan shore had a persuadiu' tongue.'.' export ti'a de to hea t hen coun tries is a fairly large one, although more goods are sent out to foreign dealers in curios in the bazars of Cairo, Damascus. Col­ ombo, etc.. for sale to unsuspecting travelers anxious to take home memen­ tos. . The Pope lias issued an order forbid­ ding priests not . belonging to the Ro­ man diocese or not,having any regular employment in.Rome to <3,*vell there. All priests who continue io stay in Rome in contravention of this rescript will be suspended. A note is also being taken of the resident priests who are seen out of doors after a certain hour, and meas­ ures will be taken against them in case they can plead no justification. There is an hour fixedjn the evening by the ringing of the church bells when all members of the clergy must be indoors. " Best sarsaparillas." When you think of it how contradic- torythatterm is. For there can be only orie best in anything--one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparillais -?.... There's .the rub! You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla? You could if you vere chemists. But then do you need to test it? The1 World's 5"air Committee tested it,--and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Every mcke of,sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the beet. And as the best, Ayer's Sarsa­ parilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word " best" is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowir.g more "best sarsaparilla " bubbles since the World's Fair pricked the old ones. True, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla has the fnedal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold.. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, hot bubbles, when we say: The best sarsaparilla is. Ayer's. Lost Money by a Raise. It is very seldom that a man suffers remorse because of a raise In his sal­ ary,, but sometimes lie does, strange as it may appear. During tlie latter period of the boom days in Birmingham, Ala., the reaction from the wild speculation there had set In, and those who were left "to hold the bag" were knocking their knees in palsied fear of the impending collapse, which meant their ruin. The Herald was then publishing a metropolitan paper at a big los% to somebody. It blew sixteen pages of wind into the waning boom every day, doubling the resuscitant with a thirty- two page bellows on Sundays. The "ghost" had grown too weak to keeps its weekly engagements with the "boys" who were quick to notice this fact. Of course, every week found a new staff of reporters, with one excep­ tion, "Tony" Smith, who managed to squeeze part of his weekly stipend from the business office. He would "kick" and then quit, about every other week. The managing editor, however, would get him back by a few dollars cash and a raise of salary, to placate his feelings, since he was a good man and a queer genius. In about eight weeks the Herald went to the wall, and finally into other hands. Smith being a creditor to the amount of about $300. "What are you so 'blue' about Toney?" asked one of his friends of him two days later in the postofflce. "Oh. I'm thinking what a fool I have been," he replied, somewhat cheer­ lessly. "How's that, old man?" "Well, that confounded paper owes me .$300. and, its 'busted.' Ordinarily I wouldn't care; what worries me, though, Is the thought that if I hadn't been such a fool as to have gotten my salary raised 1 wouldn't have lost so much." ° The Coronit on Oil. The oil used at the, coronation of Rus­ sia's Czars is not of an ordinary kind It is prepared with elaborate ceremony. It is made only.once in three years, and is used only for three purposes, namely, the baptism of royal babes, the crown­ ing of the Czar, and the consecration of the Metropolitan. It is called chrism oii, or myro, and is always made at Moscow or Ivlef. Early on Monday morning of Passion week the Patriarch, in ceremonial robes, proceeds to the sacristy, lights the fires, and places thereon a gallon of oil to boll, reading the gospel at the same time. . The oil is kept-lioiiing-for^three "days and nights without intermission, being .Stirred continually with silver ladles in the hands of priests. After this the oil is put Into two silver caldrons and placed upon a porcelain stove, where it is stirred by six deacons, arrayed in blaek and silver vestments. This oil Is supposed to possess miracu­ lous curative powers, and great crowds Orpeople bring bits of cotton or wool to dip into the holy mixture. The vases filled with the oil. are carried in great state to the Cathedral of the Assump­ tion, where mass is said by the Metro­ politan. The Loon. The loon is found in all the Northern States. It is a very awkward bird on land, but a graceful and rapid swim­ mer. It is a remarkable diver, and it is thought that no other feathered crea­ ture can dive so far beneath the sur face or remain so long a time under water. A specimen was once found attached to the hook of a fishermen's set line in Seneca.Lake^it having dived nearly ipO feet to reach the bait. It feeds on lizards, fish, frogs, all kinds of aquatic insects, and the roots of fresh-water plants, usually swallowing its food : under water. It is a very large bird, about, three feet in length, and spreads its wings fully five feet. It builds Its nestin marshes, near wa­ ter, of rushes'and grass, which It twists together in a huge heap on the ground, usually among tall reeds. The eggs, usually three in number, are a little over three Inches long, and in color of a dull greenish ochre, with indistinct spots of dapk^ujjlber, most numerous toward the,/brtfad end. During the winter this biiKj lives near the sea shore, especially" in the salt marshes on the Long Island coast, and along the shores of the Chesapeake; but in the summer it goes as far north as Maine, and breeds there In great quantities. Don't build on the love that others have for you; the poor-houses are filled, with people who have wealthy rela­ tives.' A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT. The Police of Syracuse Make an Im­ portant Capture. On Monday, the 15th, Harold.Marqui- see, of Utica, Ni Y., was arrested in Syra­ cuse. N. Y„ on a wart-ant sworn ouWby the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., charging him with forgery. On the 15th of De­ cember Marquisee visited a photo^eugrav- er in Syracuse, saying he was the repre­ sentative of the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. and arranged for the making'of a- full set of plates for the, direction sheets, labels, etc., of the famous: Dr. Williams" Pink Pills foi" Pale People. News of this reached the home office, and \ho time was .lost in arranging for his arrest when he should return for the plates. He re­ turned on the 15th and was accordingly arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting examination, which occurs on March 2. - - - , This arrest proves to be an important one. In addition to various plunder, such ap onedical books, typewriters;: rugs, etc., found" in Mtt'rquisee's trnnk'Tvhm arrest­ ed, the, police also found counterfeit coiu both in the trunk and on his person; and in a search of1 his apartments at Utica found a complete outfit for counterfeit­ ing. consisting of crucibles, bellows, nick­ el, lead, bismuth, antimony, a smaH black­ smith forge, a . charcoal furnace, and several plaster-of-paris moulds. The United States marshals want him just as soon as the ,Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. are through with him. and, no doubt, he will be sentenced for a long period. In selecting Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for his counterfeiting operations, he showed his knowledge of the proprietary medicine business; for these pills are in such great demand that they are easily sold at any drug store in the United States. His scheme was to work the country druggists.and sell his imitations at a discount of from 2 per cent, to .5 per cent:, explaining the reduced price by the fact that'he .had picked them up in small lots 'and at a discount, from deaters^fcQ were overstocked. By working fast and making long jumps, he. would have se­ cured many hundreds of dollars in a short time. The proprietors of Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills are most fortunate to have caught the rogue before he had fairly started, and to have thus kept these spu­ rious goods out of the market. In a Tomb of Solid Hock. Living lizards were found in the solid1 rock in quarries of chalk iu northern France. Workmen about to loosen some rock after a blast discovered a series of so-called pockets. In each of these there was a living lizard, but as.soon as they were taken out of their hid­ ing place and exposed to the air they died within a few minutes. They were of a peculiar copper color, and al­ though there was a place for the eyes, indicated by a prominence resembling the eyelid of a frog, they had none. Zoologists declare that these lizards must have lived for thousands of years, and it seems to be borne out by their being in the rock and alive, that they must have been closed in at the time of the formation of these rocks. There was no possibility of passing in or out of these strange cells, within which they were found, and no nourishment other than moisture could penetrate into these recesses of the rocks.
