Illustrating What He Meant. Latter day speakers of English are get; ting to be very wordy and pompous in the use of our language, accordmg to the dis' tinguiahed linguist, Professor \Vhinney. and he thinks we ought to gen back'to the modesty and simplicity of our ancentoru. This adviceof Professor Whitney is no doubt timely. But in advising us not to me big ‘ words and to be clear, pure and simple in , dicbion he employs the following words: ‘ “Avoid all polysyllnbical profundity, pom- pous prolixity, and ventriloquial verpidity. Shun double endantre and prurient jocos- ity, whether obscure or appnrent. In other words, speak truthfully, naturally, clcnrly, purely, but do not. use large words.” The beggar had a sign Dumb, and the passing atgppefim from of him. sai Another advantage claimed for the new “7‘ sulky is that it will leave the horse free of 1 3" all portions of the present style of track a“ harness which have a tendency to impede I, P“ his action. A comfortably fitting eurcingle 1 “1 supports and steadies the shafts, the small “I strap running from it to the cap which 0" enemies the end of the shaft keeping the 1 “h eulky in placeâ€"keeping it from going 5 0“ faster than the horse, es the inventor put 1 ’h it. Straps from the breastplate also assist I: W‘ in steadying the vehicle. The breastplate : m‘ aurclngle, and bridle are the only necessar- l9“ ies in the way of harness. leaving the 1112- mi most freedom to the shoulders and chest, th as well as to the lungs by reason of less tightening of the girth. It is further claimed that a horse may be more readily, h controlled from the proposed location of the sent close up to the horee’s head. This u advantage is expected to be gained by the o leverage at the terreta, which was attached en. to the breastplate, instead of the saddle or w? girth as at present. An attachment there 0 also secures the check, doing away with w the water hook. The driver’s feet rest in l“ stirrups opposite the shoulders of the horse ’5' and just beneath the shafts. i th I , All the veteran drivers agree that this primitive style of vehicle wss a tremendous handicap in more ways than one. It made the draught very great, besides causing the sulky to slew out oi its course in rounding the turns. Ind thereby throwing the trotter 03‘ his stride. Some years ago the snlky builders began to use slightly bent axles, admitting of a closer hitch without danger of striking, and by degrees this departure has been»csrried further and further until themodern truss nxle machine, which [its so close that a driver can sit on the dock of a horse’s tail, has been evolved. The in- vention is simply following this tendency out. to the end by placing the axle siiahtly This is another principle which driver: quickly learned to take advantage of after the introduction of the small-wheeled pneumatic Bulky. Instead of adjusting their sulkiea no that the wheels are directly be- neath the seat of the driver, they tilt the ahafts upward in hitching the horse. thus throwing the wheels forward and seat backward, and giving the axle a slight in- cline out of the vertical planeâ€"a scheme which, experienced reinamen say, makes a great difference in the draught of the vehicle. in front of the middle of the animal’s lmdy and having the driver's sent, directly above the horse’s hips. A central upright bar extends from the wheels to the seat on a alight incline backward, thus utilizing the driver’s weight, according to the inventors theory, to punh the wheels forward and help propel the vehicle. One of the chief advantages claimed by this notion is that it relieves the horse of much of the usual draught incident to any aulky which he is forced to drug along behind him. Every trainer recognizes the fact that the closer he can hitch his ” bike" to his horse the lighter the draught will be, and it is to this knowledge that the ex- tremely high truss axle now in use is due. Some of the prints which depict the old- time trottere in action show them hitched to sulkies with perfectly straight axles, which were necessarily placed far enough away from the horse so that he could not touch his hacks when striking out behind at full_speed. - Body. The vomries of troaaing are just now in- terested in a new and somewhat novel style of sulky for harness racing, which the in- Ventor claims will prove to be almost, as great. an improvement over the present; pneumatic vehicle as the latter has been shown to be in comparison with the high- wheel sulky that was in use prior to 1892. The new contrivauce ia the work of a. well- known horseman. And its design is so well set forth lnfihe accompanying illustrstion that; scarcely any further description seems necessary in order to enable horsemen to form an opinion as to the merits of the invention. flalrnessed lo the New “ Blke" Turn: to the Pneumatic-Thea Racing Vehicles Now u tio usly.

For nearly thirty years, experi- enced and skilled physicians, connected with this Institution, have msdea specialty of curing the ailments and diseases peculisr to women. Where the ordinary practition- er treats one such cuss, the skilled special- ists of this Instituzon treat tens of thousands ;nnd what is regarded by the local doctor as a. complicated case, one that puzzles his brain and baffles his skill, is as simple of treatment and sure of being!I cured in this Institution as is the drawing of the perfect circle to that one man in n million. This is another instance where practice makes perfect. It is a. case where one man can do what millions of others cannot do, although they have learned how. One reason why women suffers in silence, agonies whiCh would make a coward of the strongest mam, is because her inborn mod- esty causes her to shrink from the ordeal to medical examination and the stereotyped “local treatment.” When, finally torture drives her to seek advice, she, unfortunately, only too often falls into hands that lack the rare ability of drawing that “ perfect circle” upon~ which her peace of mind, her happiness, and her life depend. Instead of the treatment that makes thousands of cures a certainty and failure almost an unheard-of accident, she receives that which makes failure a cer- tainty and the cure a mere accident. like that shown in Figure 1. You may be able to make one such circle by accident, but if you think you can make twenty in a day, in a week, or even in a monLh, just try it and get, your friends to try it. The circles must not be like Figure 2, but like Figure 1. You will soon find that this is not merely a case of “ know how " for everybody knows how. It is a case of “ know how ” combined with “ never fail.” Not one of five hundred young men and women college graduates can do it. Not even the one who carried 06‘ the highest honors. The one who can do it is He began just, the sums as everybody else did, by learning how to draw. But that’s not the secret; of his success; he made a specialty of drawing circles; he has been drawing them all his lite, and prscsice makes perfect. Give my woman a bow and arrow, give a. men s loaded revolver. and she or he may sometimes hit, the target. and possibly the centre, but. how mnny hundred times will they miss the mark. This frequent failure, not only in target practice, but in everything else, is due to Lhe fact. than not one person in a thousand makes a. life specialty of one thingâ€"the one thing he can do best,â€"snd keeps right. on making a pecialty of it. until he becomes perfect. aim sue or he may sometimes hit the target and possibly the centre, but how many hundred times will they miss the mark. This frequent failure, not only in target practice, but in everything else, is due to the fact that not one person in a thousand makes a life specialty of one thing,â€"the one thing he can do best,â€"and keeps right on making a specialty of it until he becomes perfect. A PARIS DRESSMAKEB. There is a woman dressmaker in Paris who for thirty years has been noted the world over. Not once in a bun ired times does she fail to give a perfect fit, yet this same woman made a silk night shirt for her husband, andâ€"made a failure. It wasn’t a case of not knowmg how, for she had learned how to make clothes just as she had learned how to draw ; yet try as she would, she couldn’t even make a night shirt for her husband that would fit, any more than she could draw a circle that was perfect. A GREAT LAWYER. Daniel Webster, who was probably the greatest constitutional lawyer that ever lived, was once completely floored in a patent case by a lawyer who made a spec iality of such cases. The "know how” is the proper point to start from, butit is the practice,â€"the daily. hourly, constant practice,â€"that makes perfect. The woman who has one night shirt to make in thirty years cannot be an expert in night shirts, any more than the lawyer who has one patent- case in six months can be an expert in patent cases. The doctor who is called upon once aweek,once amonth,or,perhaps, once in six months, to treat this, that, or the other complicated disorder may succeed once in a great while. if nature comes to zhe rescue, but be will usually fail, not- withstanding the fact that he has studied medicine, just as the lawyer has studied law and the woman had studied dressmak- ing. The sum and substance of it all is that practice makes perfecr. Mrs. Annie Hutchinson, of Cambridge, Dorchester Co., Md., writes : "Words fail to describe my sufferings before I took Dr. Pierce’s ‘Golden Medical Disoovery'and his ‘Favorite Description." I could not walk across the room without great sufi‘ering. but now Iam able to do my own work, Thanks to your wonderful medicines, I am a well woman. I suflered all the time with a weight at the bottom of my stomach and the most severe bearing-down pains, low down, across me, with every step I attempted to take. I also sulfered intense pain across my back and right hip. At : times I could not turn myself in bed. My compleXIon was yellow, my eyes blood- shot, and my whole system was a complete wreck. I suffered greatly from headaches and the thought of food would sicken me. Now I can eat anything and at any time. Every one thought I would not live through the month of August. Two of my neighâ€" bors are using your medicines, and say they feel like new beings." PROSPECTIVE MOTHERS READ. Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Glenville, N. Y., says: “I read about Dr. Pierce’s ‘Favorite Prescription ’ being so good for a woman with child, so I got two bottles last Sep- tember and December 13th I had a twelve- pound baby girl. When I was confined I was not sick in any way. 1 did not sulfer any pain, and when the child was born I walked into another room and went to bed.

THE HIGHEST HONORS. Such is the confidence of his fellow- citizens in his ebility, integrity. sndworth, that Dr. Pierce hen been honored by elec- tion to the highest offices in the gift of the people of Buffalo ; first; to the Stete Senate and later to congress. Such, however, is the doctor’s pride in and love for his profession that he has since repeatedly declined high oflice in order that, he may bestserve the public by serving hispetienu who are scattered over every State and Territory in the lend, as is shown by the fact that he has on file over like, the following :_-f- “ For a. number or years I have been troubled with a. general tired feellng, shortness of breath pain in the oack, and constipation.
