Mrs. Francis Podmore, President W. C. T. U., Saranac ‘Lake, New York, Owes Her Health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound. Read Her Letter. “Dear Mrs. Pinkuam:— For several years after my last child was born I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches. “I tried the doctor’s medicines and found it money worse than wasted. A friend who had been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I felt young and strong and happy once more. “This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is my only medicine. If I ever feel bad or tired a few doses brings instant relief.”—-Mrs. Francis PopMore. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.

STREET MENDICANTS WHO MAKE THEIR WORK AN ART. Some Net as Much as $50 a Day— Average Income Is Much More Than Can Be Made by Working at a ‘Trade. “It requires something more than nerve to be a successful beggar,” said the old crippled man. “The asking for alms is the least part of the profes- sion. People think because we ask every passerby for something that we expect each to contribute. This is the reverse of the story. We know pretty well as soon as a man or a woman heaves in sight whether we can look for a lift or not. We study humanity. We get so we can tell from the face what the inclination of the person is. As not every cynic looks sour, so every beneficent person does not wear his or her heart on her sleeve. In fact, we get more from the sour-looking peo- ple than from those who are gay. Those who are gay are usually broke, and if they are not they are too busy figuring on having a good time with their money to help a beggar out. “Business men are generally easy marks, because they would rather give up than be detained with the harrow- ing details of how the arm or leg or eye was lost in a terrible wreck. Grab one when he is in a hurry, and he will part with a coin nine times out of ten yather than miss the engagement, even if it be a lunch appointment. Children, contrary to general belief, are poor givers. In the first place, their nickels.are few and far between as a rule, and in the next place they are usually in a rush to get to the nearest candy store and spend it. Women, too, pass us by. Whether they expect the men to do all the giv- ing, or whether they dread contact with suffering, I know not, but I do know that few women contribute. “But by far the bulk of the money which is given to beggars comes from the middle classes, and this, perhaps, is due to their knowledge of, and ac- quaintance with suffering themselves. Most of them have had more of the ups and downs than come to the very rich, and they have a fellow feeling for us. They are the ones who stop and listen to the story we have fixed up. We reach them at once, and very rarely fail to land them. “By the way, if the man is a good artist at his story and knows the game, begging is not such an unprofit- able business after all. As a means of earning a living it beats several of the trades all hollow. The proceeds do not seem large to the casual ob- server, but when you figure up at the end of a day a beggar who cannot average from $7 to $10 a day is not a good hand at the business. I have made as much as $20 a day for months at a time. My family lived well, and I managed to do so at the same time. During gala days and carnival times we sometimes clean up as much as $50 a day. It has run higher than that. The big crowds now in the city have helped things considerably. All of the visitors have money, they have come here to spend it and if it does not go one way it will another, and so they turn it loose without a struggle. A man cannot be proud and be a beggar, but he can sometimes afford to put his pride in his pocket for a while if he is making money. When he has the money he will find that his pride is all right.”—-New Orleans Times-Demo- crat. Certainly Explanatory. A friend of mine, a Greek professor, who runs over here for his holidays, is with us now. He got over-excited the other day when the telegrams came from Athens about the shindy over some new translations of the evengeli- cal books. “Your people,” I said to him, “seem to be “Fighting like devils for reconcilia- tion, And hating each other for the love o! God.” That launched him into a torrent o! explanations and I had such a Niagara of words poured over me for 20 min- utes that I began eagerly to watch for a chance of changing the subject. It came at last. “The Greek language,” he said, by way of interlude before branching out again into theology, “is a very exact language. We can express our thoughts and ideas with the most exact nicety.” “Then tell me,” I said, “what you think of Egypt. “In this beautiful country,” he answered, ‘“‘you have an apotheosis of nature and an apodeikneusis of theopratic omnipo- tence.” I think I must relearn English from a Greek professor. Anglo-Saxon is played out.—Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. That Coronation Visit. The gossip about Miss Alice Roose- velt and the coronation of King Ed- ward calls to mind that President Van Buren’s son attended the coronation of Queen Victoria,” said Mr. Frank N. Lesly, of Saratoga, N. Y. “I have been particularly interested in the talk re- garding Miss Roosevelt’s rank. The rumor that she could go by the title of ‘princess’ would be worthy of con- sideration had her father named her as envoy from this country. As it is, she will have to be just a plain American girl. When Van Buren’s son, John Van Buren, attended Victoria’s coronation, he was the special embassy, and was given the title of ‘Prince John.’ That, of course, was a different situation. In- cidentally that title had a great deal to do with his father‘s defeat for another term as president. The people got the idea into their heads that he had be- come a plutocrat, and the idea didn’t jibe with their domestic sentiments,”— Washington Post. - CONGRESSMAN HOWARD. Of National Reputation Are the Men Who Recommend Pe-ru-na to Fellow Sufferers, A Remarkable Case Reported From the State of New York. House of Representatives, Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen:—‘‘I have taken Peruna now for two weeks, and find 1 am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent.

OST people think catarrh is a disease confined tothe head and nose. Nothing is farther from the fruth. It may be that the noseand throat is the oftenest affected by ca- tarrh, but if this is so itis soonly because these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body. Every organ, every duct, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on ca- tarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh has any- thing to do with it. The following letter:-which gives the expericnce of Mr. A. C.. Lockhart is a case in point: Mr. A. C. Lockhart, corner Cottage St. and Thurston Road, Rochester, N.
