A SURGICAL OPERATION If there is any one thing that a woman dreads more than another it is a surgical operation. We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hun dreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hos pitals which are entirely unneces sary and many have been avoided by LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: " For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was ray only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes: "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and lftst March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made front roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache. ' Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick Women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to Health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Takes Three Straight From I Charlotte. The Hickory Base Ball team continued their winning streak by taking three interesting games from the strqng Charlotte locals. The first game played Thursday resulted in a score of 4to 3.

Fayetteville, Aug. 8' Yester day upon reading the challenge of the manager of Hickory's base ball team, to Fayetteville, to play them for the amateur champion ship of North Carolina in Char lotte, or any other other good baseball town, Mr J. F. L. Arm aeld telegraphed his acceptance of the challenge, naming Wilm ington as the scene of conflict. To-day he received a telegram from the Hickory manager, stat ing his willingness to play three ?ames in Hickory and three in Fayetteville, actual expenses be ing guaranteed to each. To this Mr. Armfield answered this after noon repeating his agreament to play in Wilmington, 60 per cents to go to the winner and 40 per :ent to the loser. In a letter which followed his telegram Mr. Armfield gave his reasons why proposition should prevail as fol lows: That is the first place, as Hickory challenged Fayetteville the latter should by all precen lents have the choosing of the battleground. In the second place, Hickory in its challenge stated that it was willing to play in Charlotte or any other good town. Lastly, because Wilming-- ton is the best baseball town in the State. • OASTOniA.

Henry, with the United States Express Do., Cnicago writes, "Our General Superintendent, Mr. Quick handed me a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic Cholera andDiairhoea Remedy some time ago to check an attack of the old chronic diarrhoea. I have used it since that time and cured many.on our trains who have been sick. lam an old soldier who served with Rutherford B.

She Conquered the Germans. ' v In the Franco-German war the French hospital at Vendome was In charge of Mine. Coralie Cahen, one of the most noted nurses of the time. There, aided by two nurses and seven Christian Sisters of Mercy, she re ceived thousands of French and Ger man soldiers. When the Prussians oc cupied Vendome they wished to hold the hospital and plant on it the Ger mau flag. But, warned of the enemy's intentions. Mine. Cahen early one Jan uary morning visited the Prussian gen eral, who, surrounded by his staff, was about to seize the building. "Sir," she exclaimed, "we have re ceived your wounded and nursed them as though they were our own. We will continue to do so, but we will remain In a French hospital. We will not have it converted into a German hospital." "Madame," was the reply, "we are masters." "In the town it may be: here, no!" was the answer. "We are protected by the Red Cross and the French flag. You have no right to touch either the one or the other." She conquered, and from that day the utmost admiration was openly evinced for her by the Germans. his Good Eye. It id a curkus fact that the loss of ttoy one of the five senses is atoned .for to a considerable extent by a pro nounced increase in the efliciency of the other senses. The result is some times astonishiug. A man who had lost the sight of both eyes trained his hearing until he could tell by the sound of his footsteps on the sidewalks as he made his way about town whether he was in the middle of the walk or at one side, whether he was walking past a brick or a frame house or a feuce or open ground. He knew in what part of the town be Was not only by his memory or sense of general direction, but by the difference in the "tones" of his foot steps. and he walked about freely, sel dom running into anything or any body. Some one in his presence once caileJ in question bis total blindness. "Which eye do you think I can see with?" hp asked the skeptic. "The left one. of course," was the reply. "I can see that the right one is blind." In reply the blind man merely opened his penknife and tapped the left eye with the little blade. It was a glass eye. How His Place V/as Filled. A well knowu divine whose theolog ical discourses draw crowded bouses in all the principal cities accepted an invitation to lecture in a small provin cial town, but discovered afterward that he had a prior enpigcment on the same date. lie accordingly apologized and offered to make good any loss the society might incur through his delin quency. A few days later he received a letter from the secretary assuring him that no harm was done and inclosing a handbill which the divine is never tired of reading to his amused friends. "As the Rev. Mr. Is unable to give his advertised lecture on 'Con science.' " announced the bill, "four members of the B minstrel troupe have kindly volunteered to perform in stead a screamingly laughable farce entitled . Any person who has bought a ticket for the other enter tainment may have it transferred to this on payment of sixpence extra."— London Tatler. When Explosives Explode. A popular notion that explosives will "go off" by any simple method is wrong. Many of the most powerful explosives imaginable may be kicked about, may be set on fire or may be shot out of a gun, and unless the prop er agency for exploding them Is em ployed they will not "go off" and will do no damage. The reason for thLs may be explained by an Illustration Consider a grateful of coal. There is there enough of what we may call ex plosive energy to throw a 1,000 pound weight through a foot of solid steel— If only it could be liberated. But there can be no explosion without oxygen, and the coal in the grate will not burn faster than the supply of oxygen in the air which reaches it will permit If the coal could be furnished all at once with enough air to cause its complete burning, it would explode with as great violence as if it were so much dyna mite.—St Nicholas. The Sun of the Blind. I have not touched the outline of a star nor the glory of the moon, but 1 believe that God has set two lights in my mind, the greater to rule by day and the lesser by night and by them I know that I am able to navigate my life bark, as certain of reaching the haven as he who steers by the North star. Perhaps my sun shines not as yours. The colors that glorify my world, the blue of the sky, the green of the fields, may not correspond exact iy with those you delight in, but they are none the less color to me. The sun does not shine for my physical eyes, nor does the lightning flash, nor do the trees turn green in the But they have not therefore ceased to exist any more than the landscape is annihilated when you turn your back on It. —Helen Keller in Century. Harmless Joke. Place a spool of cotton in the in side pocket of your coat and. having threaded a needle with the beginning of the cotton, pass the needle through the front of the coat, unthread the needle and leave about two Inches of the cotton hanging as if it were only a stray piece. The first person you meet will be sure to pick it off you, and his astonishment .when he finds there is no end to It will give plenty of Innocent fun. A GHOST STORY. Tha Spectral Horseman That Visits Wycollar Hall. This ghost story is contributed by a correspondent of an English magazine: "Wycollar Hall, near Colne, was long the seat of the Cunliffes of Billingtou. They were noted persons in their time, but evil days came, and their ancestral estates passed out of their hands. In the days of the commonwealth their loyalty cost them dear, and ultimately fhey retired to Wj*collar with a rem nant only of their once extensive prop erty. About 1819 the last of the fami ly passed away, and the hall Is now a mass of ruins. Little but the antique fireplace remains entire, and even the room alluded to In the following legend cannot now be identified. Tra dition says that once every year a specter horseman visits Wycollar Hall. He Is attired In the costume of the early Stuart period, and the trappings •f his horse are of a moat uncouth de scription. "On the evening of his visit the weather is always wild and tempestu ous. There Is no moon to light the lonely roads, and the residents of the district do not venture out of their cottages. When the wind howls loud* est the horseman can be heard dash ing up the road at full speed, and, aft er crossing the narrow bridge, he sud denly stops at the door of the hall. The rider then dismounts and makes bis way up the broad oaken stairs Into one of the rooms of the house. Dread ful screams, as from a woman, are then beard, which soon subside Into groans. The horseman then makes his appearance at the door, at once mounts his steed and gallops off. "His body can be seen through by those who may chance to be' present; his horse appears to be wild with rage, and Its nostrils stream with fire. The tradition Is that one of the Cunliffes murdered his wife In that room and that the specter horseman is the ghost of the murderer, who Is doomed to pay an annual visit to the home of his victim. She Is said to have predicted the extinction of the family, which, according to the story, has been liter ally fulfilled." THE CRITICS. These Observers Were Wholly Per sonal In Their Judgments. 'The critical faculty Is rare," said an editor and critic at a Philadelphia art club. "It must be Impersonal. But most of us Incline to be wholly per sonal in our criticism. The fact was brought home to me at one of the exhi bitions at the Academy of Fine Arts. "Passing from picture to picture, I overheard many criticisms. Thus a lady In a rich gown said: " 'What a superb portrait of a young girl! It should certainly win the Car oegle prize. It Is easy to see that the gown was made by Paqntn.' "A fat red nosed man in a fur lined overcoat halted before a picture enti tled The Luncheon.' " This still life,' he exclaimed, Ms the most admirable I have ever seen. Terrapin, canvasback, champagne, lob ster. even Perigord pie—ah, what a genius.' " 'ln this historical painting.' I heard an antiquary say. 'the costumes are ac curate In every detail. The painter is a second Raphael.' " That horse there,' said a young polo player, 'is exactly like my Poda sokus. Ifs the best picture in the ex hibition.' "An athlete uttered a cry of delight before a daub called The Gladiator.' " 'What shoulders! What arms!' he said. 'I bet anything the Jury gives this painting the highest award.' "And half the throng, departing, said: " The, picture in the last room is the best No. we didn't see it—couldn't get to it. In fact—but it draws far and away the biggest crowd.'" Mole Superstitions. According to tradition, if you have a mole on your chin you may expect to be wealthy, while if you have it un der your arm it promises you wealth and honor as well. A mole on the ankle indicates courage. On the left temple a mole Indicates that you will find friends among the great ones of the earth, but if It be placed on the right temple It warns you of coming distress. A mole on a man's knee means that he may expect to marry a rich woman. A mole on the neck promises wealth. If you have a mole on yonr nose yon are going to be a great traveler.' A mole on the throat Indicates health and wealth. What Bhe Was Working For. Mrs. Jenkins had missed Mrs. Brady from her accustomed haunts and. hear ing several startling rumors concerning her, went in search at her old friend. "They tell me you're workin' 'ard night an' day, Sarah Ann?" she que ried. "Yes," returned Mrs. Brady, "I'm un der bonds to keep the peace for pullln' the whiskers out of that old scoundrel of a husban' of mine, and the magis trate said thatf if I come afore 'im ag'in or laid me 'ands ou the old man he'd fine me 40 shillln's!"

Buloz, the editor of the Revue des Deux Mondes. once had at his country house in Savoy a numerous company of literary people, oue of whom .was Victor Cherbuliez. Cherbuliez contrib uted regularly every other-year a novel to the columns of the Revue, and a story of his was at that time ruuuiug in the periodical. The guests had been out for a walk and had amused them selves with gathering mushrooms, which were cooked for dinner. As the company were sitting down. It occur red to one of the party that undoubt edly some of the people who had tak en part in gathering the mushrooms knew nothing about them and that there might be poisonous fungi *in the collection. This reflection so affected the-com pany that all the people present, with the exception of Cherbuliez. declined to partake of the dish. He alone at tacked it with gusto. Thereupon Buloz showed sudden and Intense alarm. i4 Clierbullez! Cherbuliez! What are you about?" he exclaimed. "Remem ber that you haven't finished your story in the Revue!" Greatly to his relief, the mushrooms turned out to be innocuous, and the story was finished. It Was a New "Team" to Him. Heinrich Conried told the following story once when chatting of his .ex perience as an operatic director: "It happeued In Chicago." said he. "1 went there to superintend our first sea son in Chicago. 1 got there early in the afteriioon. As 1 was registering at the Auditorium a young, a very young, newspaper man came up and talked to me. He begged for an inter view. I told him 1 had arranged to see the press at That did not satisfy him. He was on ati afternoon paper It would be « feather in his cap If he could scoop the town. 'Very well.' said I to him, 'I shall give you an in terview. but it will have to lie while I am taking my bath.' He seemed an intelligent and earnest young man. and I was wilMug to do that much for him "I turned on the water and divested myself of my coat, and the iuterview proceded. *' 'What do you open with?' said he. " *1 open with "Tristan und Isolde," I auswered. "•Have they ever been here before?" be queried." Iron Eaters. "The first time I ever swallowed a tack," said a carpet layer, "I jumped to my feet and tremulously asked the way to the hospital. " 'What's the matter?' my mate, an old hand, asked. •••I've swallowed a tack,' said I. •Good gracious, what will become of me?' "The old hand sat back on the car pet he was laying and laughed. "'Why. kid,* said he. 'it's nothing to swallow a tack. Every professional carpet layer swallows half a dozen or so dally. It's a thing that causes no inconvenience. If it did. I'd know It. I bet I've swallowed a hundredweight of tacks in my life.' "And I'm sure," the carpet layer con cluded. "my mate was telling the truth, for since then I've swallowed half a hundredweight myself." He gulped. "Hang it." he said; "there goes one now!"— New York Press. Aroused His Wrath. "Were you ever doue in oil?" ven tured the wandering portrait painter. The old farmer almost leaped out of his boots. "Was I ever done in oil?" he roared. "Well, I should say so! A long legged, fox eared individual that looked some thing like you came past here last week and sold me a bottle of what was supposed to be genuine olive oil to eat on lettuce. When I poured it on the lettuce it turned out to be sewing ma chine oil, and, by beck, If 1 thought that you"— But the wandering artist was gone gone in a cloud of dust Chicago News. Haiti's Lesion of Honor. It Is not generally known that the famous order of the Legion of Honor was adopted at Haiti in 1849. When Soulouque became emperor under the name of Faustin 1., he instituted an order in imitation of that which had been established by Napoleon In 1802. Statues, ribbons and insignia were pre | cisely identical, and since the sover eign of Haiti distributed his honors to all and sundry with lavish hand the French government was considerably embarrassed. The death of Soulouque -ended the difficulty.—Paris Gaulois. A Poor Remedy. Speaking of a certain measure under discussion In the senate, a well known congressman said: "It does not meet the situation at all and will not reme dy conditions. It reminds me of the wife of a young blacksmith of Wash ington. 'Did you sew that button on my coat?' this blacksmith asked bis wife one morning. 'No, dear,' the wife answered. 'I couldn't find the button, but I sewed up the buttonhole, so it's all right'" An Exception. Little Ethel—Mr. Rich, we're not all made of dust are we? Mr. Rich (be nignly)— Yes, my dear. Little Ethel (triumphantly)— Oh. well, you aren't 'cos papa says you sprung from noth ing.—Punch. Does your back ache? Do you have sharp pains in the side and the small of the back?
