Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Has an Unequalled Recowd of Cures— Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Is Confidence tial, Free, and always Helpful | ¥yrst.—That almost every operaticn in our hospitals performed upon women becomes necessary through neglect of ‘such symptoms as backache, irregular and painful menstruation, leucorrheea, displacements of the uterus, pain in the sidu, burning sensation in the stom- iach, bearing-down pains, nervousness, ‘dizziness and sleeplessness, Sxrconp.—The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills is Lydia E.

I cannot imagine even a touch of hu- mor in the life of the eagle. There was a pair of blue jays that nested near the eagles, and I imagine they came sneak- ing around at times when the parents were not at home, just to seé what was going on. One day I was sitting on the edge of the nest with my feet dan- #ling over, when one of the curious jays came up from behind. He didn’t notice me till he alighted, squawking, close by. His squawking valve closed short off with a squeak of surprise; he threw up his wings in horror and fell backward. The bluejay himself would bave chuckeld in enjoyment at the sight, if the joke had not been on him. I enjoyed it hugely, but it was ail Greek to the eagles. Everything to them is serious. Life is a cruel, harsh reality; it is blood from birth to death. ATAXIA FOUR YEARS FOLLOWS MALARIA CONTRACTED IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR. Victim Had Become Helpless When He Tried Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, but Was Cured in Four Months. Because he did not know that there is a remedy for ataxia, Mr. Ariel endured four years of weakness, pain and the misery of thinking his case incurable. “At the outbreak of the Spanish- American war,’’ he says, ‘“‘I went with Company B, Eighth Regiment, M.V.M., into camp at Chickamauga, and while there my system became thoroughly poisoned with malaria. When I was mustered out, I carried that disease home with me. After a while locomotor ataxia appeared.” ‘How did the ataxia begin?’ “J first noticed a pain in my ankles and kuee joints. This was followed by a numb feeling in my legs. At timesI had to drag myself around; my legs would shake or become perfectly dead. I had constant trouble in getting about in the dark. I kept a light burning in m at night as I could not balance self in the darkness. Even with the aid of a light I wobbled, aud would reach out and catch hold of chairs to prevent myself from falling?” “‘How long were you a sufferer «Pour rs in all. During the last three s confined to bed, some- times for a week, again for three or four weeks at atime. When I was lying down the pain in my back was fre- quently so severe that I had to be helped up and put in a chair to get a little re- lief. I had considerable pain in my bowels and uo control over my kidneys. The worst of all was that the doctor could give me no hope of recovery.” ««How were you cured?’’ “I read that. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and one or two friends spoke to me about them. In the fall of 1903 I began to take thom for myself and I had not used more than one box before I found that the pains in my knees and ankles were greatly relieved. Four months after- ward I becamea perfectly well man, and Iam today enjoying the best of health.” Mr. Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43 Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills without delay. Avy druggist cau supply them. on He who is unable to collect his wits or his bills is in hard luck. SWEDEN AND NORWAY’S UNITY. National Characteristics of the People Are Very Untike. It is necessary to know certain po- litical and historical phases of the mutual relations of these two nations in order to understand the trouble. The outward unity. was to a great ex- tent only apparent, and did not al- together correspond to the internal relations. The history of the two coun- tries has been entirely different. They have never had the same government or been dependencies one of the other. and their national characteristics are unlike. Protection is the economic doctrine of Sweden, while Norway's interests demand free trade. The Swedish constitution grants the crown and the higher classes considerable influence with the government, while Norway is the most democratic coun- try in the world. Though the two countries have the same king, it would be a mistake to believe that the origin of their diseord js to be found in the conditions sim- ilar to those which govern the home rule question in Ireland. The king- dom of Norway has always been in reality as free and sovereign a state as any in the world, with the single restriction that it was bound to per- mit questions concerning both coun- tries, to be debated jointly in the so- called “combined council of state.” When in 1841 Denmark was forced by the allied powers to cede Norway (with which country it had been united for more than four hundred years) to Sweden, the whole Nor- wegian nation arose in protest. The Norwegians elected their own king and adopted a liberal constitution. A short war with Sweden was the re- sult. Bernadotte, Napoleon's former marshal, who had been made heir ap- parent to the Swedish throne and now ruled in the name of the old and sick king, found it advisable to sub- mit to the wishes of Norway. He was made king of Norway, which formed, with Sweden, a union defined in the act of 1815. This act says, in its introduction, that “the upion is not a result of warfare, but of free conviction, and shall be maintained by a clear acknowledgment of the Jegal rights of the nations in protec- tion of their mutual thrones.” Paragraph 1 of this act stated that the kingdom of Norway is a free, inde- pendent, indivisible, and alienable state, united with Sweden under one king. Paragraph 5 established a “com- bined council of state” for discussion of matters pertaining to the union. These paragraphs gave a full defini- tion of the union of the two coun- tries—a monarchy and a defensive al- liance “for the protection of their mutual throne.” This peculiar form of union has not proved conducive to the happiness of the two nations in their mutual rela- tions. The incongruity of their views is too great. It was difficult for Sweden to realize that Norway was not a conquered country, and the Nor- wegians, on their side, haye kept watch over their rights with irritation and jealousy, while their radical par- ties have at time’ promoted an agita- tion that in a nation more politically mature would have carried them for beyond their mark.—American Month- ly Review of Reviews. HOW ARMIES AND NAVIES STAND The Fighting Forces of Sweden and Norway. Figures of the armies and navies of Sweden and Norway are timely, even though it is reiterated that the two countries are not going to war. The Swedish navy consists of twelve second-class battleships, named Svea, Gota, Thule, Oden Niord, Thor, Dri tigheten, Aran, Wa Tapperheten, Manlighten and Oscar IJ. All these are of about the same type, being be- tween 3,100 and 4,218 tons, and mak- ing between 16.2 and 18 knots. They carry an armament of 10 and 8.2-inch guns, placed in armored turrets. Be- sides they carry a large number of guns of smaller caliber, as well submerged torpedo tubes. Sweden has one armored cruiser, the Fylgia, of 4,600 tons and of 12,000 horsepower, making 21.5 knots. She also have five torpedo gunboats of an effective type, two torpedo destroyers, making 31 knots, thirty torpedo boats of the first class and a number of smaller classes. The eleven monitors in the Swedish navy cannot be count- ed as having a good fighting value, as they were built many years ago; some of them have been reconstructed dur- ing last years and may be useful for harbor defense. One submarine boat was built in Sweden last year and has proven itself to be of good value. In addition the Swedish navy consists of a number of cruisers, gunboats and training ships. It is officered by 212 officers and in the reserve there is 160 additional officers. The naval] station of Sweden is Hor- ten, on the south coast. The navy consists at the present time of four A Finnish Informer. A notorious woman of Haparanda, Finland, was long in favor with the police on account of her ability to discover plots against the life of Count Kamenski, the chief of police. The plots were all imaginary, but she was liberally rewarded, and then, becom- ing bolder, she told of a large quanti- ty of arms concealed for use in case of an outbreak. The plant, she said, consisted of 40,000 rifles and two can- non, but the police have not yet found ; them. In Far Northland. second-class battleships—the Harald Haarfagre, the Tordenskiold. the Norgé and the Eidsvold.’ These ships carry an armament of eight 2inch guns and are capable of making 17.2 knots. They also carry submarine torpedo tubes. The navy further con- sists of four monitors, built in 1866- 1872; three unprotected gunboats, nineteen smailer gunboats of from 60 to 400 tons, and thirty-five torpedo- boats. It is officered by 120 officers and 120 are in the reserve. The proportion bétween the armies of the two countries is about the same. As reorganized in 1901 the Swedish army on a peace footing con- sists of seven divisions, embracing twenty-eight regiments of infantry, eight regiments of cavalry, nine regi- ments of artillery, one regiment of engineers and six regiments of, the train. Then general staff consists of nine generals and fifty staff officers. The enlisted army of Sweden has a peace footing of about 38,000. The conscription troops consist of every Swede between the ages of 21 and 40. In the first’ year there are at present about 29,000; in the classes be- tween 21 and 33 250,000, and between 200,000. In Norway the troops are mostly raised by conscription. The line con- sists of about 30,000, with 900 of- ficers, but with the consent of the storthing there are never more than 18,000 under arms. The reserves number about 50,000, with 900 officers. The army on a peace establishment consists of six regiments of infantry, twelve batteries of field artillery, six batteries of foot artillery, three regi- “ments of cavalry and five companies of engineers. The general staff con- sists of thirty-five officers. 33 and 40, AN INACCURATE YARN. Sample of Some That Have Been Told About Norway. Many inaccurate statements are be- ing printed concerning Sweden and Norway since their fallout has en- gaged the attention of the world. If they were not likely to cause harm when the situation is somewhat tense they would be immensely amusing. A sample is the following extract from a rather pretentious article by Frederick Boyd Stevenson, whoever he may be: “During all these years Norway has been persistent in her opposition to Sweden. She began by abolishing her nobility and then demanded a revision of the constitution. Not satisfied with a parliament of her own, Norway insisted that the councilors who rep- resented her in Stockholm should be allowed to take part in the debates of the Swedish parliament in direct defiance of the act of the union. The storthing passed measures making this demand three times and three times King Oscar vetoed them, but upon the fourth demand, with a view of retaining peace, a reluctant con- cession was made to the Norwegian. Gaining her point in this respect Nor- way made other demands. She wanted a separate consular service. She want- ed a separate flag, and she wanted the right to make treaties with other coun- tries independenily of Sweden. And it is here where the influence of Ras- sia is made apparent, for with the right to open negotiations through her own agents with foreign countries, Norway would have the power to grant a sea port to whomsoever she chose. The recent Norse movement started by literary men has resulted in still further widening the breach, ‘This movement provides for a revivial of the old language of the Vikings in- to new Norse, which is to be entirely free from the modern corruptions from the Danish tongue. It is. of course, not necessary to deny that Norway never wanted a voice in the Swedish r dag, and any measures which the Norwegian stor- | thing passed on the subject would never have been given serious consid- eration. Furthermore, Norway is, and i always has been, just as afraid of Rus- | sia as Sweden or any other country. And, still, furthermore, the movement to establish the “Iandsmaal” (not old | Norse by any means) has only amused the Swedes who have taken an in- terest in it. The Norwegian-Americen Copper Mining & Smelting company, a Chi- eago concern, has begun operations along its claims on Lyngen fjord in northern Norway. Mr. Borresen, a | mining engineer, is in charge of the | work. The arrival of the company’s } president, Alderman Adolph Larson, of Chicago, is expected. It is under- stood that the company has substan- tial means, and after having opened a sufficient number of shafts to de- termine the extent of the copper fields will begin the erection of a smelter. All Norway hopes that the enterprise will prove a success, as it is generally believed that the mineral resources | of the country should make it | wealthy. nnn Norwegians Would Not Stand. Three Norwegian students in the graduating class of the Chalmers in- stitute at Gothenburg gained the ill | will of many of the Swedes by remain- | ing seated while Swedish national Songs were being sung at the closing exercises. The Swedes sang “Ur Sven- ska Hjertans Djup” and “Du g4mla, du friska.” Many thought that even if the Norwegians could not sympa, tun ae the sentiment, they should ave shown respect by risi: h the others did. 3 4 Ae there are about- | I | "GETTYSBURG THE BLOODY. Confederate Loss 36 Per Cent of All Engaged, Federal 27. “The bloodiest battle of the Civil war was the decisive one at Gettys- burg, which turned the tide in favor of the North,” said a G. A. R, man on his way to La Crosse, The losses were enormous on both sides. Though they nearly balanced each other in actual number, the Confederate loss was pro- portionately the larger, footing up the almost unprecedented total of 36 per cent, while the federal loss was 27 per cent. Official reports place the federal loss at 23,163 and the Confederate loss at 25,000. Next to Gettysburg, the hardest fought and bloodiest battle of the war was Chickamauga. A full re- port of the Confederate losses was never made, but they have been: esti- mated at 20,950. The federal loss was 16,363.”—Milwaukee Free Press. PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Week to .
