• More proof that Lydia E. Pink-
, bath's Vegetable Compound cures
ek women.
Mien M. R. Morin, 33fi Ontario St.,
Montreal, writes to Mrs, Pinkham;
"I was in very poor health and doc-
tored for months, receiving very little
benefit. I had lost all ambition, was
nervous, and subjeot to dizzy spells and
painful periods each month.
"A friend suggested Lydia E. Pink.
ham's Vegetable Compound as the
proper medicine for me. I procured a
bottle of this remedy and began tak-
ing, and before it was ftutshed, I felt
so much better that I continued its use
and gave it a thorough test, with the
result I am to -day well and a much
healthier girl than I was three years
ago. I have no more painful periods,
dizziness or nervous troublen,"

population variously eetimeted at from
twenty to thirty millions, In factor of
the government it may be said that,
along commercial lines, the state is being
greatly developed, no important step in
this direction being the suppression of
the Arab slave trade. The capital of the
state is Rona, n city of several thousand
people, situated forty-five miles from
the mouth of the Congo River. Just
below the first great rapids, an impass-
able barrier to ocean vessels, is located
Matadi, a city of about 3000 people, and
the point from which is shipped most of
the rubber and ivory brought down from
the interior, From this city 0 railroad
extends 240 miles to Leopoldville, from
which point the river is navigabh' for
000 miles to Stanley Lake. From Stan-
ley Palls to Lake Tanganyika, n distance
of over 700 miles, a railroad is being con-
structed which will eolm et ultimately

often in sore straits for supplies of all
kinds. During this period a Southern
Judge was rather surprised to find a
turkey on his table, stuffed anaorddng to

turkeys in his poultry yard, and lie knew
that: the 011111 he had given to his cook
for household expenses did not run to
a turkey, he called the sable servant and
aelced for an explanation, "Why, massa,"
replied Samba, "it is like this; That tur-
key has been roosting three nights on
our fence, and last night 1 grabbed him
for the rent of the fence." it is not on

but giving the proper password was per.

however, lie endeavored to tempt the

New Bridge at Cairo.
The Island of Eodah, in the Nile, where
tradition says alloses was found in the
bulrushes, has just been connected with
Cairo by the iargest bridge ever built
over the Nile bre that motion. The
Rodah bridge, which took three years
to build, fa 1,7411 feet long and 06 feet
broad. There are fourteen spans, be -
*idea a turning span of 209 feet, which
is swung by an electric motor, and
which when opened gives a clear 70 feet
on either side for the passage of ves-
sels: At a recent official teat every
square yard of the bridge was subjected
to n weight of 400 pounds. In order to
give this weight the footpaths were piled
with sand, while twenty tram ears Load-
ed with cement, twenty-four water carte
filled with sand and eight traction en-
gines were kept on the bridge a wllble
day. The deflection of each span was
noted, and after that the whole -of the
huge traffic was . driven at fall speed
across the bridge. -From Zion's Herald.
