"I Owe You My Life."
Mrs. E. Woolhisku,
JNIills, Neb., writes:
"Dear JIrr. Pixkham : I owe myi
life to your Vegetable Compound. The
doctors said I had consumption and
nothing- could be done for me. My
menstruation had stopped and they
said my blood was. turning to water. I
had several doctors. They all said I
could not live. I began the use of Lydia
E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it helped me right away; menses
returned and I have gained in weight.
1 have better health than I have had for
years. 1 1 is wonderful what your Com
pound has done for me."
"I Feel Uke a New Person.
Mrs. Geo. Leach,
1609 Belle St., Alton, 111., writes:
' ".Before I began to take your Vege
table Compound I was a great sufferer
from womb trouble. Menses would ap
pear two and three times in a month,
causing me to be so weak I could not
stand. J could neither sleep nor eat, and
looked so badly my friends hardly
knew me. -
" I took doctor's medicine but did not
derive much benefit froih it. My drug
gist gave me one of j our little books,
and after reading it I decided to try
Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Com
pound. I feel like a new person. I
would not give your Compound for all

tan not praise it enough."

A NOVEL POSTOFFICE.
The Postmaster at Busbee Met With
Many Obstacles.
The oddest little postefflce handling
Uncle Sam's mails is to be found at
Busbee, seven miles south of Asheville.
For over thirty years the Murray s have
had charge of "Busbee's mail. Both
were Democrats. Recently to the sur
prise of everybody in Busbee, Murray
was ousted to give place to J. B. Sum
ner, a Republican. Mr. Sumner tried
to rent a place in . Mr. J. C. Murray's
store ttvruu the office, but his offer was
scornfully refused. He then put up a
tent on a vacant lot for the postoffice,
but was ordered off the premises by the
owner. As a' last resort Sumner de
cided to metamorphose his wagon into
a temporary postoffice. He then drew
fip his four-wheeled postoffice at the
4ide of th.6 road and is there discharg
ing the duties of his office.
Iient on Destruction.
Much damage has been done to plate
glass fronts in store buildings at Fay
etteville by an insane nero. The
splendid plate glass front in the Thorn
ton Dry Goods Co. building, valued at
$400 or $.500, was destroyed by him.
He then successively plied his work of
destruction on the beautiful window of
the jewelry store of Messrs. Warren,
Prior & Son,-the Rosenthal buildiog,
T. F. Moore's, Miss Mary Smith's, H.
R. Home's, the Racket Store, Tiding
hart's crockery store, finally being
checked in his literally "mad career"
by a blow from a shovel in the hands of
Mr. Benjamin Black. The negro then
became frightened and ran down An
derson street, being finally captured.

An old negro attempted to cross a
creek near a mill dam in Sharon town
ship, Mecklenburg couuty. Tho cur
rent Avas too strong and soon the mule
and buggy was bounding in the billows
over logs just below the ford. The old
negro managed' to float out and some
good Democrats, who had advised him
not to drive in, rushed to his assistance
and saved the mule's life by cutting it
loose from tho bugery and allowing it
to swim out. All the old negro lost in
the creek was a $1.50 hat and his poli

Story of a Watch.
Ellis Johnston and Fred Walt, col
ored, were arrested at Charlotte for
stealing a watch from Heury Hill.
When Hill missed his watch here
marked that he would givo$o for its re
turn, and was approached by one of the

Predicts Another "Quake."
An old negro woman at Charlotte
who sails nnder the cognomen of Aunt
Sallie, predicts as a consequence of the
heavy winds of the past few months,
another heavy earthquake, similar to
the one of 1886. Aunt Sallie claims
that preceding the earthquake that did
so much damage in Charleston, where
she was living at that time, heavy
winds were of daily occurrence for sev
eral months. "
Too Much for His Valor.
B. R. Houston and Henry Jones,

Letters received from Cavite,, under
date of July 20, state that the insur
gents have done nothing since their
second repulse at Malate, when the
American troops were held under arms
through fear of an attack, by the Span
iards. A dispatch from Madrid' says that
King Alfonso is convalescent fom the
attack of measles. The same dispatch
says that it is quite apparent that
everybody in Madrid is resigned to
the acceptance of the American terms
of peace. The only matter that is rais
ing any difficulty is the Cuban debt.
An interesting feature of the military
government at Santiago is the constant
stream of native residents who are pre
senting claims against the U. S. gov
ernment for losses sustained at the
hands of Cuban troops in the last
three years. These claims are prompt
ly returned with an expression of re
gret. . , .

Audibility of TCuader.
While lightnin"! may be seen and its
illuminating of clouds and Aist may d?
feiognized wnen it is eteft ?00 miles
distant, thunder is rarely audible more
than ten miles.' The thunder frc-ni
very distant storms, therefore, seldom
reaches the ear. The reason of this
great Uncertainty in th audibility 01
thunder U not difficult to understand.
It depends, not merely on the initial
intensity of the crash, but quiet as
fnuch on the surroundings of t6 ob
"server, even as in the Quiet country
one will observe feeble sounds thates
cape the ear in a noisy city. Perhaps
the most curious and important con
dition of audibility is that, the thunder
wave of sound ehali not be refracted
or reflected by the layers of Warm and
cold air between the observer and the"
lightning or by the layers of velnd,
swift above and slow below, so as en
tirely to pass over and around the ob
server. Sound, in its wave-like "pro
gress obliquely through layers of "air
of different densities, is subject to re
fraction, and this refraction may occur
at any time and place. Thus, observers
at tne topmast of a shin frequently
hear fog whistles that are inaudible at
sea level; those on hill-tops hear
thunder that cannot be heard in the
valley; those in front of an obstacle
hear sounds Inaudible to those behind
it. -The rolling of thunder, like that
of a distant cannonade, may be largely
due to special reflections cf sound.
Aeain. the greater velocity of air at
considerable altitude above the ground
distorts the sound-wave and shortens
tho limit of audibility to the leeward,
while increasing it to the windward.
Industries and Iron.
Range-Finders tor Warships.
The surprising certainty with which
shots from modern rifled cannon reach
targets several miles distant depends
upon an accurate knowledge of the
range. -In a combat with hostile ships
the range must be continually chang
ing, and one of the means for Its quick
ascertainment is the range-finder in
vented by Lieutenant Fiske of our
navy. Two telescopes are fixed on the
deck of a ship at a known distance
part. An observer at each telescope
keeps it directed upon the enemy's
ship. The telescopes are electrically
connected, 'and a Wheatstone bridge
and galvanometers are included in the
circuit. As long as the telescopes are
perfectly parallel in direction, the
Wlieatstone bridge remains in equilib
rium, but when they are converged up
on a single object,-the equilibrium is
destroyed, and the needle of the galva
nometer swings over a distance corres
ponding to the angular displacement of
the telescopes. , A properly graduated
disk behind the needle shows at a

THE EXCELENCE OF SYRUP OF FICS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
nanufaetured by scientific processes
known to the Califorxia Fig Svbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As, the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of ' that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
wbich the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty,
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them",' and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

. A Dry Niagara.
A few miles southeast of Syracuse,
N. Y., in a cavity whose bottom is -jl-.j
feet below the surface of the adjacrnt
upland, lies Jamesville lake, a body of
water 500 feet in diameter and sixty
feet in depth. Eastward from the lake
extends a gorge through-whieh flows
Butternut creek. Professor Quercan of
Syracuse says that in former times a
river flowed here and that Jamesville
lake is the pool that was formed under
a great waterfall. Steep cliffs rise
around it on three sides, and "all the
features of a dry Niagara are here dis
closed in great detail."
