INAMES OF TENNESSEE TOWNS.
Alexander Hilton.
Alexander Hilton, formerly general
passenger agent of the Frisco system,
und prior to that, assistant general
passenger agent of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis railway (now
kbsorbed by the Frisco), has been ad-
vanced to the position of passenger
traffic manager for both the Frisco
nd the Eastern Illinois systems, with
headquarters In St. Louis. Mr. Hil-
ton, besides being a broad, Intellectual
Richest Nobleman
The Duke of Norfolk, one of the
richest men in Oroat Britain, has a
daily Income of somewhere between
SIO.ODO and $15,000, but until a short
time ago he had never taken a ride in
a motor car. At the conclusion of the
run, which was taken with a friend,
he expressed much pleasure at the ex-
perience and asked what the cost of
the car wan. On being told that it
was $5,000 he said tnoughtfully: "Ah,
1 shall wait until they become cheap-
er before buying one."
People who persist in giving ad-
vice must expect to take a lot of
blame.
and well-endowed gentleman, Is also
widely known as a successful and mas-
ter railroader, respected in business
for sagacity and fairness. As a pas-
eonger traffic man he haa been widely
known and Justly popular. During the
late world's fair he made a most en-
viable record, and Is now president
of the St. Louis association of general
passenger agents. Mr. Hilton succtjwia
Bryan Snyder.
The Deepest Mine
The deepest mine shaft has boor
sunk to a little more than a mile in
Cape Colony and the deepest bore
hole has reached the same depth in
Silesia. It is said that there should
be no insurmountable difficulties In
carrying a shaft down twelve miles.
An approximate estimate has shown
that to reach a depth of two miles the
cost would be $2,600,000. Ten years
would be required atul a rock tempera-
ture of 122 degrees Fahrenheit would
be found; while to penetrate twelve
miles would cost $25,000,000 and
would take eighty five years, the rock
temperature expected being 272 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
THE DISCOVERER
Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the
Great Woman's Remedy for Woman's Ills,
No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and
unqualified endorsement.
No other medicine lias such a record of cures of female troubles or such
hosts of grateful friends as has
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It will entirely cure the worst forms of Female Complaints, all Ovarian
Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration. Fallnig und Displacement of the
"Womb, ;uid consequent Spinal Weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the
Change of Life.
It has cured more cases of Backache and Leucorrhcea than any other rem-
edy the world has ever known. It is almost infallible in such oases. It
dissolves and expels tumors from the Uterus in an early stage of de-
velopment.
Irregular. Suppressed or Fainful Menstruation, Weakness of the Stomach,
Indigestion, Bloating, Flooding, Nervous Prostration, Headache, (Jeneral Debil-
ity quickly yield to it. Womb troubles, causing pain, weight and liackache. in-
stantly relieved and permanently cured by its use. Under all circumstances it
invigorates the female system, and is as harmless as water.
it quickly removes that Bearing-down Feeling, extreme lassitude, "don't
care" and " want-to-be-left-alone" feeling, excitability, irritability, nervous-
ness, Dizziness, Falntness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy or the " blues"
and headache. These are sure indications of Female Weakness, or some de-
rangement of the Uterus, which this medicine always cures. Kidney Complaints
and Backache, of either sex, the Vegetable Compound always cures
Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred
thousand times, for they get what they want—a cure. Sokl by Druggists
everywhere. Refuse all substitutes.
Many Appellations Taken from the
Good Book.
When It came to naming her towns
Tennessee did not forget the Oooii
Book. She put an Ark in Meigs coun-
ty, a Noah in Coffee, a Gensis in Cum-
berland, a St. John and a St. Luke in
| Jackson, a Joshua here and a Caleb
"here, here an Elijah and there a Sam-
uel. ltuth and Naomi were not for-
gotten, and two Ebeneiers were raised
up, one in Knox and one in Hum-
phreys county.
But Tennessee did not lay too much
stress on scriptural names. On the
other hand, looking at the map one
may readily ascertain that in the nam-
ing of her towns Tennessee played no
favorites. From mythology she ob-
tained Juno, Venus, Vulcan, Bacchus,
Diana. Hercules, Neptune, Olympus
and Delphi; irom Shakespeare Romeo
and Othello; from the Greek alphabet
Alpha, Beta and Omega; from the
church Methodist, Baptist, Priest,
Pope, Friar and Tabernacle; from the
family hearth, Mamy, Bud, Aunt,
Home and Family; from the poets
Dante. Milton and Homer.—Indianap-
olis Star.
GOT ALL HE ASKED FOR.
One Claim Adjuster Made No Trouble
About.
Some protests to the complaint de-
partments of the big stores are not
unreasonable. An individual with a
delapidated derby hat and his cheek
torn from eye to chin appeared before
the adjuster of a department store the
other day. "I've just been run over
by one of your wagons uptown." he
plaintively remarked. "A policeman
picked me up and got the name and
address of the chap that was driving.
So I came down here to see what
you'd do for me." Visious of a well
backed damage suit came before the
adjuster's eyes.
'What do you want ua to do?" he
asked.
"Well." said the victim, "I don't
want to be unreasonable. Perhaps it
was partly my fault, and I guess my
face will heal up. But my hat's spoil-
ed, and it cost me $1.50 when it was
aew. Seems to me you might give
me another hat."
His claim was at once allowed in
full.—New York Tribune.
Excellent Disinfectant.
Bichloride of mercury, commonly
known as corrosive sublimate, one
part to one thousand parts of water,
making what is called in bacteriologi-
cal laboratories a one-one-thousandth
solution, is germicidal, destroying not
only all adult Insects but their spores.
It will disinfect utensils and dishes
used in sick rooms, as well as bed
linen, etc.
Care must be taken not to allow It
to run into metal pipes, as it will des-
troy them. Neither can it be used
in tin or aluminum. It should be kept
in an earthen jug or large stone jar,
out of reach of children, and plain
labeled with a large poison label. It
can bo purchased in tablet form.
WEDDING HAD TO STOP.
Ceremony Halted While Sally 'Jag-
ged" the Chickens.
Biabop Candler of Georgia, recently
'.old one of the national lawmakers
"rom that state an experience he had
when he first began to preach the gos-
pel and tie nuptial knots, says the
Washington Times.
"One day I was called on and en-
jaged to marry a couple in one of the
out-of-the-way districts. I found the
house a rudely constructed log affair,
with but one room and a loft above,
which was entered by a ladder and a
trap door. A big table was in the
center of the room, and it was loaded
with good things to eat, everything
having been cooked on an open fire
place which took up nearly all ono
side of the ' room. The bride and
groom lined up and I was proceeding
with the ceremony, and while in the
most impressive part of it, the old
lady poked her head out of the trap
door in the loft and called:
" 'Sally, turn them chickens and
jag 'em with a fork.'
"The command was obeyed by the
daughter, she leaving the trembling
bridegroom while she jagged 'em
with a fork. I could not help laughing
at the ludicrousness of the whole af-
fair, and I have never witnessed a
marriage ceremony since without re-
memberiug this experience."
BRAND HOOFS OF HORSES. .
New York Corporations Keep Tab on
Their Property.
It may surprise some New Yorkers
to learn that many of the horses they
pass daily in the streets are branded
to Identify them in ease of theft
The branding is just as effective, but
not as hard on the horse, as the meth
od of branding cattle and horses In
the West or the cutting of brands in
the ears of cattle as practiced in the
salt marshes of New Jersey. It con
sists simply of burning numbers in
the animals' hoofs, usually in their
front feet. The hot iron does not
penetrate deep enough to hurt the
animal, but it leaves a figure clear
enough to last for years. The prac
tice is commonest among large cor
porations that own many horses.—
New York Sun.
To Dry the Umbrella.
To preserve an umbrella so that it
wil last long enough and not look
shabby it should be carefully dried
each time it is carried in the rain.
To do this It should never be stood on
the point, thus permitting the water
to trickle down, spoiling the silk and
making the wires rusty, says the Gen
tlewoman. Neither should an um
brella be opened to dry, for in this
way the silk is stretched, and later it
becomes baggy, and it Is impossible
to furl it smoothly. The correct way
to dry an umbrella is to shake it
well to get as much water out as pos
sible and then stand it on its handle
i to drain.
Took Ring and Bonus, Too.
In au uptown jewelry store one day
last autumn a woman was accused of
filching a ring, but after a careful
search of her person by the police ma-
tron it was impossible to find the
stolen article. The woman indignant-
ly reproached the owner of the store
and threatened to sue him. To pre-
vent future trouble in court he paid
ker a certain amount of money.
If the jewelry man had known an
old trick he would have looked for the
ring under the edge of the counter,
where it was fastened with a piece of
chewing gum, to which the woman
had affixed it, and from which place
later in the day her accomplice got it.

How to Escape Lightning.
Excellent authorities agree that in a
thunderstorm the middle of a room is
much the safest place in a house. A
carpeted floor or one covered by a
heavy thick rug is better to stand on
than bare wood. It is well to keep
away from chimneys and out of cel-
lars. In the open air tall trees are
dangerous. A person sheltered under
a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feet
from a large and lofty tree is quite
safe. If lightning strikes in the im-
mediate vicinity it will hit the high
tree as a rule, with few exceptions.
Water is a very good conductor, and it
is well to avoid the banks of streams
in a violent thunderstorm.
Tenacity That Counts.
In the last analysis, men succeed or
fail in proportion to their ability to
put things through. He who has
learned to grip a purpose and cling
to it until it is accomplished has mas-
tered one of the secrets of happy and
effective living. But to do it requires
a talldog tenacity, like that illustrated
by Gen. Grant when he declared that
he would fight out his campaign if it
took all summer, and by Melville Cox,
one of the first and noblest of Ameri-
can missionaries to Africa, who ex-
claimed at the climax of his career,
"Let a hundred men fall before Africa
be given up."
Stern Justice.
A story is told about Francis Park-
man, the historian, which shows that,
in spite of impaired eyesight, he was
not blind to injustice. A friend met
him walking along the street, holding
two street boys by their coat collaps.
In reply to his friend's request for an
explanation, Parkman said: "I found
this boy had eaten an apple without
dividing with his little brother. Now
I'm going to buy one for the little boy
nd make the big one look one while
he eats It."—St. Nicholas.
Burden of War Debt.
The debts of nations given in the
World Almanac exceed $30,000,000
These do not nearly represent thf
cost of a century's wars, but only that
portion of the cost which remains un
paid and a charge upon the people
Only in a few cases, like Canada and
New Zealand, does public debt repre
sent other than war expenditure, and
these sums are more than balanced bj
"left-over" debts from the eighteenth
century.
The earth has 1.487,900,000 Inhabi-
tants, or 297,580,000 families. Its per-
manent load of war debts is $1,000 for
every family.—New York World.
Wind and Wave,
God's busy laborers, the wave and wind—
The creeping centuries their lazy
hours—
Tear down the continents, a task de-
signed
Anew to fashion this old world of ours.
The snowy footprints of the ocean blue.
Deep set in everlasting marble, show
The huge and dark round earth white
gleaming through.
Where ran the sea a million years ago.
The sun's a lantern for the wind by dav.
The wave leaps to her work, the moon
fresh lit;
A thousand years are but their yesterdav
And at Niagara's task they' laugh a
bit!
Profit in Lavender.
I.avender oil is of medicinal value,
and lavender seeds and leaves of great
toilet value. Our total importations of
this oil and leaves amount in value to
over $100,000. The lavender of com
merce is raised in this country for pri-
vate uses, and it should find a place
in the ordinary garden of drugs that
one starts for profit. Its sweet odor
should add materially to the pleasure
of cultivating the plants.—Scientific
American.
Lead Pencil Writing.
Upon the subject of signing a docu-
ment a standard law book says:
"When a statute or usage requires 'a
writing' it must be on paper or parch-1
raent, but it is not essential that it be
in ink. It may be in pencil. This rule
applies to promissory notes, book ac-1
counts, a will or a signature thereto."
There is a decision in Colorado up-
holding the idea that a pencil signa-
ture is valid.

The World
of Medicine
Recognizes Grip
as Epidemic
Catarrh."—
Medical Talk
La Grippe Is Epidemic Citarrh.
IT spares no class or nationality. The
cultured aud theig-iiorant, the aris-
tocrat and the pauper, the masses and
the classes are alike subject to la jrippe.
None are exempt—all are liable.
Grip is well named. The original
French terra, la grippe, has been short-
ened by the busy American to read
^without intending- to do so, a new
word has been coined that exactly
describes the case. As if some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful
grip of a terrible monster.
llave you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? If so, read the fol-
lowing letters.
These testimonials speak for them-
selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in
cases of la grippe or its after-effects:
A Southern Judge Cured.
Judge lloratio J. Goss, Hart well, Ga.,
writes:
♦'Some five or six years ago I had a
verv severe spell of grip which left me
witJh systemic catarrh.
"A friend advised me to try your
Peruna, which I did and was immedi-
ately benefited and cured. The third
bottle completed the cure.'*—II. J. Goss.
Cured in i Few Weeks.
Miss Jeau Cowgill, Griswold Opera
House, Troy, N. Y., is the leading lady
with the Aubrey Stock Co. She writea
the following:
"During the past winter of 1901, I
suffered for several weeks from a sever©
attack of grip, which left a serious
catarrhal condition of the throat and
head.
"Some one suggested Peruna. As a
last resort, after wasting much time
and money on physicians, I tried the
remedy faithfully, and in a few week*
was as well as ever."—Jean Cowgill.
Saved by Po-ru-na.
Hon. James It. Guill is one of the old-
est and most esteemed men of Omaha,
Neb. He husdone much to make it what
it is, serving on public boards a numbef
of times. He endorses Peruna in thd
following words:
"I am 68 years old, am hale and
hearty and Peruna has helped me attain
it. Two years ago I had la grippe—ray
life was dispaired of. Peruna saved
me.'*—J. B. Guill.
Strength of Elephants.
The elephant is great as a traction
power. Experiments have shown that
\ horse pulls about one-sixth of its
own weight, whereas an elephant can
pull its entire weight. This might be
emphasized by the fact that an ele-
phant is six times as big as a horse,
(n India, for centuries, it has been the
custom to utilize elephants to push in
stead of pull wagons, but now it has
iften shown that they are unequaled
is pul>ers. Two of them, in carefully
irranged contests, raised 6,500 pounds.
