RAISED FROM A BED OF AGONY Mrs. Carson.of Argyle.Mich.Jells Strange Story of Suffering and How Cardui Cured Her, Argyle, Mich. "I had severe pains from female trouble, and was almost wild, with pain in my head. "I wrote you for advice, which I fol lowed as carefully as possible, and after using seven bottles of Cardui, I received great relief. "I continued to use it and finally was cured and raised from my bed of agony. Cardui saved my life, when nothing else would help me and I can't be thankful enough for what it did for me. "I recommend it to all my friends and neighbors. Two have already tried it and found relief. "I thank the Lord for planting the herbs and for showing you how to prepare Cardui for our good." You may be sure, if Cardui will re lieve and cure such serious cases as Mrs. Carson's and it is doing it ev ery day that it will, much more quickly and certainly, help those wo men who have no serious symptoms, but are just weak and ailing. As a general tonic for women, to improve the appetite and build up the constitution, Cardui is in a class by itself. Whether seriously sick, or simply ailing, try Cardui. It will help you.

Carl Hagenbeclc, the most eminent owner, exhibitor and trainer of wild animals in the world, has had many adventures in his half-century of ex perience. Some of them are described In a recent book, entitled "Beasts and Men." On more than one occasion an elephant has come uncomfortably near putting an end to Mr. Hagen beck's career. One of the worst acci dents happened at the end of the six ties. About that time h purchased a menagerie at Trieste, which Includ ed among the other beasts a female elephant, which stood about eight feet high. It seemed to be a thoroughly good-tempered animal, its only fautt being that it occasionally had the sulks "a not uncommon characteris tic," comments Mr. Hagenbeck, "in all feminine creatures." He soon made friends with the ele phant, which he named Lissy, and he never passed its stall without giv ing it a handful of food. He was. therefore, he believed, justified in thinking be had ouite won its heart, and as It never showed any signs of violence, it. did not occur to Mr. Ha genbeck that he might be dealing with a grossly deceitful creature. The elephant was learning a trick In which it had to swing its keeper into the air with its trunk, and then slowly set him upon the ground again. The word of command which was given to the beast when it had to per form this simple exhibition was: "Lissy, apport!" "One day," to continued in Mr. Hagenbeck's own words, "I found Lissy alone in her stable, the keeper being absent. It must have been a devil that made me feel a desire to be raised on high by her, after the manner of her affectionate treatment of her keeper. I stroked and feddier, and then taking hold of her trunk, called out the word of command: " 'Lissy, apport! ' "Then followed one of the most vilely treacherous acts of which I have ever heard. . Lissy began to obey the order, but I soon felt that she was bent on mischief, for the embrace of her trunk was unpleasantly vigor ous, and I soared high into the air. "But I was net quietly deposited once more upon my feet. "Instead of this. Lissy dashed me violently against the wooden barrier in front of her stall, and I went flying over into the menagerie. "I lay almost senseless upon the ground until the old keeper, Philippe, appeared to help me home. "Fortunately no bones were broken, but I was terribly battered and bruised, and for weeks could only hobble tibout with great pain." AN UNLUCKY AERONAUT. A little incident which, thanks to the delightful way in which it is told.' is not wholly depressing, in spite of its tragic side, is quoted by Alfred E. Pease from a letter of his Quaker great-grandfather, Edward Pease. As an illustration of the old gentleman's caution of expression and description, as well as his sensitiveness as regards responsibility, the extract is worth preserving. It deals with a balloon ascension. It is to ascend from my small field next to ray garden, so that you could have seen it very nicely, and the gen tleman who goes up with it. I did not much like to let him have my field for the purpose, and told him I must have time to consider of it, before I could give him leave, as he might fall down and break his neck, and then I should be ready to consider some of the blame would rest on me. He said he had been up one hundred and fourteen times, and did not fear. I wished him to look for another place, and would give him half a sovereign to have nothing to do with it. As he could pitch no other spot, and finding it would be a great disap pointment to him and the townspeo ple, I reluctantly gave him leave, tell ing him I would hot take any pay for the use of the field, and should he be killed by falling from a ve,,J' Treat height, as a gentleman at No .astle once did, I would be clear or it. The gentleman I have just named was to hold down the balloon until It was ready to be let off, and being busy cracking nuts, he tied the string round his arm, so when it went up he was entangled in the string, and when so high as to be almost out of sight his arm got loose, and he dropped down, feet foremost, into a garden, but fell with so mucit force he sunk to the knees in the earth and was quite dead. THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. An American woman who travels much abroad tellrz this story of an elderly gentlewoman who could sure ly have qualified for membership In Mr. Clement Shorter's proposed "Jane Austen Sisterhood." "We met her," says the lady, "at a pension in Florence, where she was nominally chaperoning her two nieces, energetic, robust American girls, who were de terminedly and unrelentingly sight seeing. "The little old lady had Ions ago given up the attempt to keep up with them, and used to sit all day long in j the dreary pension parlor, reading , several-weeks'-old papers from home. She never went out alone, for the nar row, crooked streets confused her hopelessly, and she was in constant terror of getting lost. "Several time3 we persuaded her to go with us; but she was a sensitive little old lady, afraid of troubling people, and worried so constantly lest she might be a burden to us, that she was' hardly able to enjoy the trips. So we reluctantly left her to her own devices, and went to Fiesole for a few Jays. "When we returned to Florence, the first person we met at the door of the pension was the little old lady. She had evidently just come in, for her outdoor things were still on, and there was a rosy color in her cheeks. She greeted us warmly; and when I asked her in great surprise if she had been out alone, she drew me over to a corner of the hall and answered happiV', while she fumbled for some thing in her bag: " 'Yes, my dear, every day since you have been gone I have taken a walk all by myself.' Then, taking a huge piece of white chalk from her bag, she held it up triumphantly. " 'See,' she whispered, proudly. 'I make a little white cross with this on every third house, so I can go all around alone and find my way back ' quite easily.' " A MYSTERY SOLVED. A new kind of excitement to which dwellers in the country are hence forth likely to be subjected is set forth somewhat amusingly in the Bal timore Herald. The energetic editor of the Gungawamp Advocate was rudely awakened from his afternoon slumber in his office chair by a vio lent ringing of the telephone bell. At first he thought it was the jing ling of silver coin, and a smile played over his sunken features, but when he realized what it really was he sprang to his feet. "Hello!" he shouted, and seized a pad and pencil. "Hello!" came the answer. "13 this the Advocate office?" "Yes. What do you want?" "Well,. say, there has been a mur der committed out here on my farm, and I want to have you come right out and write it up."- "A murder! What makes you think so?" "Well, I just found a hat, a pair of spectacles and a set of false teeth down in my south medder and there ain't another blessed thing in sight anywhere. Oh, it's murder, all right." ' "Have you run down all the clues?" "Ye3. Ain't even a footprint in the grass." "All right; I'll be right out." The editor had jumped into his shoes and coat, and was giving direc tions to his office boy, when the bell rang a second time. "Hello!" he shouted, nervously. "Hello!" came the answer. "You needn't come out. An air-ship feller has just come in, and says he dropped 'em." A HUMILIATED MONKEY. The leading male of a troup of monkeys is the patriarch, commander-in-chief and effective fighting force. The natives of India call him Maharaja and properly so, for he is the type of savage despotism. He uses his large canine teeth to main tain his power and to secure the lion's share of everything, and is easily moved to a paroxysm of rage. Eut the tyrant has his tragedies, one of which is described by Mr. J. L. Kip ling, in his "Man and Beast in In dia." One morning there came a monkey chieftain, weak and limping, having evidently been worsted in a severe fight with another of his own kind. One hand hung powerless, his face and eyes bore terrible traces of bat tle, and he hirpled slowly along with a pathetic air of suffering, supporting himself on the shoulder of a female a wife, the only member of his clan that had remained faithful to him after his defeat. We threw them bread and raisins, and the wounded warrior carefully stowed the greater part away in hia cheek-pouch. The faithful wife, see ing her opportunity, holding fast his one sound hand and opening his mouth, deftly scooped cut the store of raisins. Then she sat and ate them very calmly at a sae distance, while he mowed and chattered in impotent rage. He knew that without her help he could not reach home, and was fain to wait with what patience he might till the raisins were finished. This was probably her first chance of dis-; obedience or of self-assertion in her whole life, and I am afraid she thor-; oughly enjoyed it. She led him away at last possibly to teach him more salutary lessons of this sort. The Most Dangerous Cargo. Lime is said to be the most danger ous cargo with which a vessel may be intrusted, for when it catches fire, which it not infrequently does, des-l pite the greatest precautions against i the admission of water into the hold, it is practically impossible to extin guish it. The only method possessing anv value whatever in this event is to stop every crack of the hold with! soap, so that no air may reach the lime. But often this will not stop the fire, which will burn for weeks, till the vessel at last sinks beueatb the waves. . When a vessel loaded with lime takes fire, it is sure death to 8 below. Harper's Weekly. NaturdsSciencei H. H. Clayton, late of the Blue Hill Observatory, has gone to Buenos Ayres to organize kite and balloon observations under the direction of the Argentine Meteorological Service. Dynamite becomes more dangerous to handle In cold weather, because its nitro-glycerine content freezes at from forty-two to forty-six Fahren heit. An electric elevator has been In stalled in the stairway which leads to the cupola of St. Peter's Church in Rome. The elevator has a capac ity for carrying ten persons. It bears an appropriate Latin inscription. A new combined electric aad steam cooking range has recently been pat ented, which is particularly adapted for use in hotels. The range is di vided Into two compartments, one of which is heated by steam, while -the other is electrically heated. The lat ter is used for cooking, while the steam is used for heating the ovens. It is claimed that In this way a steady supply of heat is obtained very eco nomically. Scientific American. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com pany recently changed the form of brake used on its cars, adopting a "graduated-release, quick-recharge" type. In order to teach the motor .men the best way of using the new brakes, an air-brake catechism has been issued, and lectures have been given on the subject. In the mean time a text-book is being prepared showing in detail how the brakes are arranged and how they should be used. Scientific American. The Berlin police department is provided with an extensive typewrit ing telegraph system. There are about 200 receiving stations through out the city and suburbs. The send ing instrument 13 provided with a keyboard, and when the keys are de pressed they cause the message to be printed simultaneously at the send ing station and at the receiving sta tion. The object of this system is to do away with the confusion of the Morse code. If the Morse code were used, it would have to Te transcribed before a message could be put in the hands of the officer to whom it wa? cent. Scientific American. Making the Best of a Good Thing. When King Edward was last at Cowes the coxswain of the yacht, hav ing been more than usually careful in looking after Queen Alexandra's comfort, was summoned to the royal presence. The Queen, presenting the man with a guinea, said: "Now, my friend, what will you have to drink?" "Why, please your Majesty," says the coxswain, "I am not thirsty." "But," said her Royal Highness, 'you must have a drink with me. What shall it be, a dram, a glass ol grog, or a tumbler of punch?" "Why," said Jack, "as I am to drink with your Roral Highness, it wouldn't be good manners to be back ward, so I'll take a dram now, and will be taking the glass of grog while your Majesty is mixing the tumbler of punch for me." New York Times. No Difference. At a St. Patrick's Day banquet Id Minnesota Archbishop Ireland sat near a young guardsman. During the course of the meal the guardsman asked his Grace: "Do you know the difference be tween an archbishop and nn ass?" The Archbishop was too taken back to reply, and seeing his hesitation the guardsrnan continued: "One wears a cross on his mitre, the other wears it on his back." The Archbishop looked the young man over with the utmost gravity, and without relaxing a muscle of his face he propounded another conun drum. "Do 3ou know the difference be tween a guardsman and an ass?" "No, I do not," replied the other. "Neither do I, sir!" thundered hi Grace. New York Times. Poet, number, Etc. I read of the poet set free from pri son after serving several years for the theft of $24. Now, I've no com ment to make either on that man's se vere sentence for a petty theft or upon the clemency that released him. All I want to start is a discussion somewhat on the following lines: If he had been a plumber, a teamster, a clerk, a farmer, a diver, a newsboy, a street cleaner, a fireman, a sailor, a tinker, a pushcart man, a tailor or a shopkeeper, would he have been par doned? And why should the gift of writing poetry serve to palliate theft any more than a gift for adding up figures or selling clams? H. I. S., la the New York Evening World. Practice Made Perfect. "Yes, sir," says the barber, deftly rubbing the lather into the scalp of the patron, "I was ship's barber on a transpacific steamer for five years, un til the ship was wrecked and I was cast away cn an island in the South Seas. I lived there for two years and never saw a human being, but when I was rescued I flatter myself I was a better shampooer than ever. I kept in practice all the time." "How did you manage it?" asks the patron. "I shampooed the cocoanuts." Life. 'V ESCAPES WasCured by LydiaE.Pink ham's Vegetable Compound Elwood, Ind.

Ceuzy, In Brittany, annually be comes a centre of attraction for th mistletoe pickers, and the 6popIar that line the" hillsides around about the village show an abundance ol the precious evergreen, the sight ol which would fill tbe heart of many a Norman mistletoe gatherer with envy. Here, however, the trees are loftj and by no means so easy to despoil of their white berried parasite as the apple trees In northern France, which yield most of the harvest destined to find its way to the British market Nevertheless clambering up into tb tree tops sixty or seventy feet from the ground is not so diSeult a taslt as it may appear to those who are uninitiated Into the modus operandi of the mistletoe hunters. With the aid of .peculiarly shaped iron griffea axiacnea to tneir iw, enauiius mew to get a firm grip of the trunk or stem which they wish to ascend, the skilled climbers make their way from branch to branch with mcnkeylike agility and in a few minutes the tre is stripped of Its mistletoe crop.
