'dftlKiedwiih PERIOD'S OF PAIN. it twilight, love, When fades the last faint gleam of sun- , Sset's glow, In Fancy's boat, O'er Mem'ry's sea, my thought? a sail­ ing go. # Love guides the helm; Then swiftly sails my boat acrbss the tide Of weary years, And soon, as in a dream, I'm by your side. Stand the Heat Menstruation, the balance wheel of woman's life, is also the bane of exist­ ence to many because it means a time of great suffering. While no woman is entirely free from periodical pain, it does not seem to have male regula-I medical sci- ence. It relieves the condition that pro­ duces so much discomfort and robs men- struation of its terrors. Here is proof: DEAR MBS. PINKHAM:*--flow can 1 thank you enough for what you have done for me ? When I wrote to you I was suffering untold pain at time of menstruation; was nervous, liad head­ ache all the time, no appetite, that tired feeling, and did not care for anything. I have taken three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one of Blood Purifier, two boxes of Liver Pills, and to-day I am a well person. I would like to have those who suffer know that I am one of th$> many who have been cured of female complaints by your wonderful medicine and advice. --Miss JENNIE R. MILES. Leon, Wis. If you are suffering in this way, write as Miss Miles did to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for the advice which she offers free of charg-e to all women. Human Nature.

This bridge was over Salt creek on the Central Ohio division of the' Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in Muskin­ gum County, and was built in 1851. It was a single span, 71 feet in length, and "was" known as a "Bollman deck truss bridge with plate girders."..

FREE for a few months to all users of the celebrated ELASTIC STARCH, (Flatlroo Brand). To induce you to try this brand of starch,so that yen may find out for yourself that all claims for its superiority and econ­ omy are true, the makers have had prepared, at great expense, a series of four WE were five passengers in' all; two ladies on the bade seat, a middle-age^geii'tle^' man and a Quaker on and myself on the front. The two ladies might have been mother and daughter, aunt and niece, governess and charge, or might have sustained any other relationship which makes it proper for two ladies to travel together unattended. The middle-aged gentleman was sprightly and talkattive. He soon struck up an acquaintance with the la­ dies, toward whom, in his zeal to do, he rather overdid, the agreeable--bow­ ing, smiling, and chattering over his shoulders in a manner suggestive, at his time of life, of a "crick" in the neck. He was evidently a gay Lothario. The Quaker wore the uniform of his sect, and confined his speech, as many a parliamentarian would save his cred­ it by doing, to simple "yeas" and "nays." As for myself, I make it an invariable rule of the road to be mere­ ly a looker-on and listener. Toward evening I was arSused from one of those reveries into which a young man, without either being a poet or a lover, will sometimes fall, by the abrupt query from the talkative gen­ tleman : "Are you armed, sir?" "I am not," I answered, astonished, no doubt visibly, at the question. "I au^ sorry to hear "it," he replied; "for before reaching out stopping-place it will be several hours in the night, and Ave must pass over a portion.of the road on which more than one robbliry is reported to have be^n.cpi^imitted. The ladies turned pale, but the stran­ ger did his best to reassure them. v "Not that I think that there is the slightest danger at present," he re­ sumed; "only when one is responsible for the safety of ladies, you know, such a thing as a pistol in reach would materially add to one's confidence. Your principles, my friend," address­ ing the Quaker, "I presume, are as much opposed to carrying as to using carnal weapons?" "Yea," was the response. "Have the villains murdered any of their victims?" the elder lady nervous­ ly inquired. "Or have they contented themselves with--with plundering them?" added the younger, in a timorous voice. ^'Decidedly the latter," the amiable gentleman hastened to give assurance; "and as we are none of us prepared to offer resistance in case of attack, noth­ ing worse than robbery can befall us." Then, after blaming his thoughtless­ ness in having unnecessarily introduced a disagreeable subject, the gentleman quite excelled himself in efforts to raise the spirits of the company, and succeeded so well by the time night set in that all had quite forgotten, or only remembered their fears to laugh at them. Our genial companion fairly talked himself hoarse. Perceiving which, he took from his pocket a package of newly invented "cough candy," and af­ ter passing it first to the ladies he help­ ed himself to the balance, and tossed the paper out of the window. He was in the midst of high enco­ miums on the new nostrum, more than half the efficacy of which, he insisted, depended on its being taken by suc­ tion, when a shrill whistle was heard, and immediately the coach stopped, while two faces,. hideously blackeued, presented themselves, one at each win­ dow. "Sorry to trouble you," said the man on the right, acknowledging with a bow, two ladylike screams from the back seat; "but 'business is business,' and ours will soon be over if things go smoothly." "Of course; gentlemen, you will spare, as far as may be consistent with your disagreeable duty, the feelings of these ladies?" appealed the polite pas­ senger, in his blandest manner. "Oh,.certainly; they shall be first at­ tended to, and shall not be required to leave their places of submit to a search, unless their conduct renders it neces- sa ry. "And now, ladies," continued the robber, the barrel of his pistol gleam­ ing in the light of the coach lamp, "be so good as$to pass out your purses, watches, and such • other trinkets as may be accessible without much trou­ ble." < The ladies came down handsomely, and were no further molested. < One by ont^l|he rest of us were com­ pelled to get out, the middle-aged gen­ tleman's turn coming first. He sub­ mitted with a winning grace, and was robbed likcca,, Chesterfield. My own affair, like the sum I lost, was scarcely wor|h mentioning. The Quaker's turn came next. He quietly handed Over nis°pocketbook and watch, and when asked if he had any other valuables, said "Nay." A Quaker's word is good even among thieves, so, after a hasty "good-night," therobber thrust his pistol into his pock- it, and with his two companions, one fctKT INVEN^ : QUIRES HO COOKtNC melt these flakes of dandruff In the scalp.

OWNS A RARE COIN One of the Three 1S04 Dollars Pos­ sessed by a St, Joseph, Mo., Man. L. E. Altwein, of St. Joseph, Mo., is now the happy possessor of an "1804" si'ver dollar. The value of this rare coin, only three of which are known to be in exis/ence, is $1,000. Mr. Alt­ wein secured it from an Illinois man, with whom/ he has been negotiating for a long time. It will be a valuable addition to liis collection, which is con­ sidered one of the best in the United States. The history which attaches to the dollars coined in 1S04 is peculiarly interesting. Out of the 7,000 whiteli camfc out of the United States mint all but a few disappeared in a lump. In the year 179S the. United States lveiit to war with Algiers. The differ­ ences were finally settled by the Uni­ ted States agreeing to pay $800,000 for /the liberation of American seamen who had been imprisoned, and $23,000 for the promise of Algiers to leave Ameri­ can merchantmen alone. In 1801 war broke out between Tripoli and the Uni­ ted States. In 1804, this last war be­ ing then still in progress, the United States frigate Philadelphia was seized off the-coast of Tripoli. On board this vessel was a sum. of money aggregat­ ing. $23,000, destined for Algiers, in payment of a portion of the war indem­ nity. The night after the Philadelphia was seized Commodores Prebble and Morris sailed into the harbor, with sixty "men, on board their vessels, and recaptured the frigate. The $23,000, which included nearly all of the 7,000 1804 dollars, had, "however, been taken from the vessel. The sum was never recovered and the silver is probably still lying in some marbled Moorish castle, carefully guarded atnong the heirlooms of some semicivilized orient­ al potentate.--Kansas City Journal.
