LIVING TOO HASTILY
AMERICANWOMEN BREAK DOWN
Irregularities and Female Oerugi
ments Result —Cured by Lydla j,
Pinkham'B Vegetable Compound.
Owing to our mode and manner of
living, and the nervous haste of every
woman to accomplish just so much
cach day, it is said that there is not

one woman in twenty-five but what
suffers with Knrri<! derangement of tlie
female organism, and this is the secret
of so many unhappy homes.
No woman can be amiable, light-
hearted and happy, a joy to her hus-
band and children, and perform the
duties incumbent upon her, when she is
suffering with backache, headache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing,
down pains, displacementof the womb,
spinal weakness or ovarian troubles.
Irritability and snappy retorts take
the place of pleasantness, and all sun-
shine is driven out of the home, and
lives are wrecked by woman's great
enemy—womb trouble.

Cotton Seed Meal and Hogs.
Peter Hopeley, an Iowa feeder ot
largo experience, disproves the
theory that cotton seed meal is fatal
to hogs. "Writing on the subject in
the Breeder's Gazette, he says:
"1 read so many conflicting reports
about it from experiment stations that
I was very much afraid all winter and
watched tlie hogs and cattle very
closely.
"I had 112 cattle at one place.
After we got them on full feed we
gave them six pounds of cotton seed
meal per day and all the hay and
corn they would eat with it, with hay
and corn fodder for roughness. I
had read at different times in the
Gazette articles from experiment sta-
tion workers that after hogs had fol-
lowed cattle fed on cotton seed meal
a certain length of time they would
become sick and die from the ef-
fects of It. I have been feeding cat-
tle and hogs for thirty-five years and
1 never had a bunch of cattle and
hogs do better than this bunch of
cattle and hogs did. The breeding
sows followed these cattle all winter,
and they had very strong, healthy
pigs in the spring, and large litters.
I think we raised about 400 pigs at
one station."— Chicago Livestock

Men Would Have Slain Dying Com-
rade for Food Had Not the Cap-
tain Interfered.
(New York Herald.)
A little man as hard as nails, with
a gray beard and a bright eye, whose
step was full' of spring, walked off
the Rotterdam, which arrived yester-
day from'the Netherlands. He was
Capt. James A. Minot of Galveston,
Tex., skipper of the dredger Texas,
which sank on her voyage from Dant-
zig to Galveton off the Azores on
Christmas eve, with the loss of twen-
ty-one lives.
Twelve were saved after thirteen
days in an open boat. The last eight
days of Miat period was a living
death. Only the captain's force of
character prevented cannibalism.
"Too much has been said already
about this," said Capt, Minot, who is
sixty-six years old. He went aboard
a ship as cabin-boy and was a master
at twenty-one.
"Prof. Osier is crazy," said Capt.
Minot, after the new theory had been
expounded to him.
In Hamburg the captain had ship-
ped a crew of thirty-two men, of
wliom only three besides himself—
the mate, senond mate and one quar-
termaster—could speak English.
"I hated to quit ner," said Capt.
Minot, "for the Texas was a fine
dredger. In the hurry and confusion
we threw what biscuit and casks of
water we could into the two boats
that were left to us.
"The mate and nineteen men got
away in one boat, while in the other
there were twelve men and myself.
Soon the cries of the other men told
me their boat had been dashed
against the sinking dredger and they
were lost.

Thought Help Was Near.
'I figured we were six hundred
miles from land, but did not suppose
we would be afloat so long before
being picked up.
'I put t'ne men on short rations. My
second mate, Mr. Garde, could speak
English and also the quartermaster
who was with me. Ie made them both,
promise they would stand by me no
matter what happened.
"I told "off the men into watches
and set tliem at the oars. 1 did not
have even a knife, but all t'he men
had knives.
i served out the last of the water
on the fifth day. I wanted to keep it
longer but the men insisted on hav-
ing the last drt:p, atiout a thimbleful
apiece.
'The sea was high and we had to
keep bailing. I ordered all hands not
to drink the sea water, but they dis-
obeyed me whenever I wasn't look-
ing, even tlie second mate a'nd the
quartermaster.
'At long intervals I would rinse my
mouth with a handful of it and spit,
it out. One old sailor did not even
rinse his mouth with it and he came

•The beat was only 18 feet long.
We were all cramped up and my legs
lost all feeling. I couldn't "have mov-
ed if I had wanted to.
"On the night of the eighth day
the men sobbed and cried. Some
sang German songs. They cursed
one another for not rowing harder
when they were rowing as hard as
they could.
'One of t'he men wept most of the
time. He drank the most sea water.
Shortly after daybreak of the ninth
day he had a fit and then he was
