VICTORIA, B.C., despatch nye : For months past the ooaot of Aoheen ham been haunted by a band of native pirates, who, in frequent encoun- ters, even with •Europeans, have shown themselves to have nerve as well as cunning. Their operations reached a climax on Aug. 4th, when the 'private eteamer of the Chinese Ooneul at .Penang fell into their hands, 24 men aboard being murdered, 15 seriously in. jnred and $20,000 falling into tho hands of the lawless horde. PArtioulare received by mprees of China yesterday are as follows The Conanl'n steamer left Telok Samawe on ;Telly 31st at 5 o'clock, and three houre later ane of a gang of 12 Chineee, who embarked as passengers, came on the bridge and asked the man at the wheel if they were then palm- ing Simpang Olim. Receiving au afl'irmitive' answer, a Chineee, whe wee armed with a kiewang, instantly cut the helmsman down, and a Mr. Alexander, of Brooklyn, who was standing near, shared the same fate imme- diately afterward. A Chinese then took the helm and turned the ship's head toward there, where the grcnnded ehortly after- ward. A GENERAL MASSACRE along the ship's decke followed, the paeans - gets and crew being indiscriminately slaughtered, Capt. Wood, who had been lying down in the cabin, came up en eennde of the disturbance reaching him, and was attacked and mortally wounded. He seems te have had just sufficient iitrengbh to regain the cabin and look the deer. Chief Engineer Anohant was, fortu- nately for him, in the engine room, and a Chlneee nailed for him to come up. Having heard the cries of " Orange- -week " he was in no hurry to corn. ply, but removed the engine-reem ladder and extinguished all the lights. Second Officer Baptist had a narrow oecape and owed hie salvation to his own -absence of mind. He was sleeping when the massacre commenced and awoke to see his eervanb killed. He pub out the light in his cabin and opened the deer, keeping quiet in the dark. The Chlneee afterwards rushed through the saloon, KILLING AS THEY WENT and helping themselves to the cash only, ee- auring about 820,000 in American money. They then quitted the vessel in two of the ship's boats, taking with them some of the passengers, a Japanese amaoan, two Aoh- ineae and two American women. Finding the chip deserted Anohant came out of the engine room and fired two rockets, then pro- posing that he and some ethers ohould pro. need in the remaining ship's beats to pro- cure the aesietanoe of a man•ef-war. No sooner, however, was the boat lowered than about eighteen ef the paeeengere, whe had escaped the murderous assault of the pirates and were afraid of being left be - Mad, rushed into it, oaueing the boat to 'sink, with the result that all were drowned. Next morning the Dutch gunboat Madura, which had sighted the signals off distress rained by the R. K. Atjoh, came up and sent ..men te take charge of the distressed vessel. Shortly after the gnnbeat steamed away, having rescued the persona aboard. The Achinese returned drunk with wine to BTMYEW TICE WORD OP PLUNDER, But met with each a receptien frem the bine jackets that they retreated in haste with a lase ef 10 of their number. At neon the following day the steemehip Graap Van Bylandb, bound from Edie to Telok, stood try and received a portion of the Atjeh'a cargo, the balance of which was nowbeing discharged enlighten!, so that the ship may get eff with the next spring tides. The Datoh warship is en track of the pirates and will infliot quick and decisive punishment. The Achinese were regarded with suegioion when they Dame aboard, and were searohsd with- ont result for weapons. It in now under. stood the weepene were smuggled aboard by an Achiness woman, who carried a bolster and bedding, whioh were not overhauled. Mate Alexander, coming to the captain's rescue, was krieeed and died en the epot. Capt. Weed's body was found in hie cabin chair when the doer of his ream was forced by the gunboat's officers. His body and that of hie mate were taken to sea and given burial by the officers of the Madera. Onychophagy. M. Berilbon, a French doctor, who has been directing his attention for some time past te the study of nail-biting, er, as he calls it, onychopbagy, finds that habit or disease extremely common. In a public aohool in Paris, out of 285 pupils examined during the month of April last, 63, that is to say, nearly one-fourth, were addicted to biting their finger -nails. Curiously enough, results vary greatly in different districts and in different schools in the same diebricb. It seems that girls are mere given to the habit than boys. In one girls' echoed in the Department of the Yonne, eleven out of twenty-one were confirmed nail -biters. In another girls' school the proportion was 61 out of 207 pupils, and of those 61, 15 were found to be in the habit of biting the nano of both hands, and the ethers of biting only these of ene hand. M. Berilion recognizes that nervousness has much to do with the habit, and he propene to cure it by means of "suggestion." Prebably it would be mere effectual to make the victim wear gloves er finger-etalle.— London Daily News. The Men Who Defeat Strikes.

Mrs. Hlalliday's Fiensiish Work—What Was Her Motive —She Waa Once in an Asylum—She Attempts Suicide—A Boy Who 1llsappearedi. HE bodies of the two ee women which were found on Monday riddled with bullets and burled under a staph of hay and manure in the basement of old Paul Halliday's barn, two miles from the village of _; Burlingham, have been = identified. Thelridenbity marks the first step in the selntion of Cele Imbed and deopesb mystery of the Shawan- gunk Mounbaine,famed for deeds of violence and crimes of daring. The elder of the two women was Mrs. Margaret McQuillan. She had been enticed Prem her home in Gardnertown, a suburb ef Newburg, 23 miles from Halliday's home, under premise of fabulous pay for common household work. The younger woman was hor daughter, Sarah Jane MoQuillaie. She was lured from her home en a pretence that she was to attend her injured mother. Both women were probably killed before they had been away from their home ten hours, and while the knowledge who they are is a step toward solution, and an im- portant one, ib ie also a step toward deepen- ing the mystory of their tatting off. The strange story of how the women were lured from their home to their death by a woman who is now feigning rabid lunacy was told to -day by the men who came from Newburg and identified the bodies. Sloan said that one day lamb week, pre- vious to Wednesday, a woman drove up to the McQuillan Neuse In an open wagon. The woman answered in everydetail the de- scription of bhe wife of old Paul Halliday. She asked for Mrs. McQuillan, and to her she introduced herself as Mrs. Jane Smith. She Bald ehe lived at Walden, a little town near Montgomery. She had a big job of house-cleaning on hand, she said, and she had to have some help to do it. She had driven into Newburg to get a woman from an intelligence office, but had failed, and en her way book beme a friend had intro- duced hor to Mra. McQuillan. Mrs. Smith said she could pay 82 a day and board. Fifty te 75 Dente a day is the usual rate for such work here. Mre. McQuillan said she would try it, but would not he ready to begin before Wednesday. She supposed Mrs. Smith said that would do, and that ehe would drive in Wednesday and get her. The woman was as geed as her word. At roan on Wednesday the appeared at the McQuillan door. Old Thomas kissed hie wife geed -bye, little thinking that he was never to Bee her alive again. The daughter Sarah attended to the honee. She expected her mother home en Saturday at noon and was all ready to re- ceive her. The wagon reached the door at noon, bub without Mrs. McQuillan. The woman who had been there before was alone. She entered the honse with a grave face and told Sarah that Mrs, McQuillan, the day before, had fallen prem a abep lad- der to the floor and rolled down a flight of steps is the story below. " My goodness!" excleim,d eld Thomas. " She must be killed." "Ne," Bald the caller, "ehe is all right, though badly hurt. I have a doobor attend- ing her, and it's only a matter of a few days when she will be out. But I can't name her, and I wish you would Dome with me and nurse her. 1 will bring you both home in a few days." The old man was too old and feeble for the leng trip, and so ib was decided that Sarah should acoompe my bbe caller and nurse her mother. She quickly gob together a few clothes, the same, by the way, whioh were found with the empty trunk in the Halliday heuae on Meuday,•and got into the wagon. Asking how far it was to Walden, bhe alleged Mrs. Smith said elle lived six miles the other side. On her previous visit she said ehe lived at Walden This dfsorepanoy was net noticed and they drove off, the old man bidding his daughter a. tearful goedby with messages for hie wife. Little more remains to he said of the eccurrenoe at Newburg. Oa Sunday Joseph McQuillan, bbe old man's nephew, and Adam Sloan, the family friend, heard the story from Thenars Mc ,Qui-slan'a lips. They were both muoh worried, and by Tuesday nighb,no word beiogheard from tho missing ease, it was decided that It was best to go in search of them. Ne thought of foul play, of course, at- tached to this deal:noe , It was purely solicitude for the iej•-' d omar: whioh prompted it. So early er. W. ainenday morn ing Joseph 1NoQuiliee !epee a harm and wagger and started for Walden ire march of Mre. Smith. Reaching that place, the meet oensoientl- ous inquiries failed to dl,asver such a person as the Mrs. Smith who bed taken away his aunt and cousin. But he heard in Weider* of the awful die- oeveriee in the Halliday bean bbe day be. fore, and learning that one of the bodies was on exhibition at B1o,e,niughurg, ho hastened there with fear in hie hoarb. It was this morning when Joseph Mc. Quillen started en his march that the New York papers contained the firent excoriate of bhe shocking crime. The story now gees bee k to Blooming• Barg. The body ef the reerdeee i girl lay unidentified in its plain coffin in the barn at the rear of Undertaker Vaasinvregen's house. The moment the olethea covering the face of the dead girl were removed before Mc- Quillan, he exclaimed : " That is her 1 That is Sarah!" He then broke down completely and wept piteously. Both Chief Sarvis and Mr. Steen were brae utterly nonplussed to suggest any motive or such a terrible crime. They Bald Mrs. McQuillan had neither money nor valuables with her, and that arab had no money—only a gold wattle nd twe rings, all of whioh, by the way, aro hosing. There were interesting happeniage mean. ime five mdse away, at Buriinghans, where re.

Mho Halliday woman showed no perturbation when thie money was dia- covered, although it war regarded as a tell- isfgppbut against her. She was practically consistent in her insane behavior. She talked wickedly at times, and affected bo believe that potato bags were upon her, cryinShako 'em off ! Shako 'em off ! They're a-eatfn' me." An attempts to take her photograph, however, ignomtnienely failed. I spent nearly half an hour in the effort, but though the woman was held by several men in the yard book of the honee she would never allow her face to be turned toward the in- atrument even lopg enough to snap an in- stantaneous view. Sho remained in Justice Thayer'° house for several houre, and there she was in- formed of the disoevory of the bodies of the women concealed in the barn under bhe compost. it woe there, too, that silo Wesuddenly, upon hearing of s discovery, changed her bearing from that of a rational woman to one violently insane. Justine Thayer yesterday had John Mc- Hugh and George, F. Hamilton, two real• dente of the town, carefully seereh the promisee wherever the woman had been on her Monday's visit in the hope- of finding the two rings whioh the had exhibited on Sunday. In the progress of this eearoh the man visited an outbuilding where she bad gone. They did mot find the rings but they did find eemething far more important. It was a revolver of 32 calibre. That was the calibre of the bullet found in the Halliday hoose and of there extracted from the bodies of the murdered women. It bad five ohambers, all filled with cartridges. Two cartridge bowie were alto found. One el these was fall and had net been opened. The ether contained five carbridgee, but twenty-five loose cartridges were found near ib, whioh had evidently dropped out when tho box was thrown away. Very near the spot where the revolver and cartridges were feund was discovered an ounce bottle of chloroform, of whioh about one-quarter had been used. This throws a dreadful light upon the crime. Mrs. Halliday evidently chloroformed hor victims before she pierced their beseme with half a dozen bullets each. One can imagine the awful Beene—the unooneoioue vuotime lying in bed, while the fiendish murderer calmly and in the sense of perfect safety and seclusion fired the fatal bulletz, one after another. The remaining action of the day osneisted in proceedings which were begun in the Town Hall by Juebice Thayer. She was dragged from Constable Scottie house to the hall, a distance ef two hun- dred yards, by four men, straggling and shrieking all the way and casting vile epibhete right and left. A large crowd of men and women fol- lowed and surrounded her. They showed a disposition to jeer her, none of them be- lieving that this behavior was anything but alarmed. " Do you plead guilty er not guilty ?" asked the justice. Mrs. Halliday kicked her heels on the floor and begged these around her to"shake 'em off me." " Why don't you speak ?" thundered Mr. Bowen. " Did yeu kill these women or didn't you 1" " Shake 'em off, shake 'em off 1" shrieked Mrs. Halliday. " Pub it down that she refuses to plead," said Mr. Bowen in a loud and commanding voice. As the case now stands it appears that tbia young woman, moved by ineaniby, of, which, however, there Is grave reason to doubt, or by some inexplicable motive of the feminine heart, conceived and executed with a deliberation and a cunning at onco amazing and disheartening a crime horrible beyond reason and almost beyond precedent. Ib in said ehe was at ene time confined in an asylum. MURDERED IIER HUSBAND TOO. Event of the day has been the finding of Paul Halliday'm body beneath the floor of the honee where the bwe Newburg women, Margaret McQuillan and her daughter Sarah, were murdered. This makes three persons Mrs. Halliday stands charged with murdering. Constable Scott reports that this morning Mrs. Halliday tore her garter loose, broke ib, and twisted it around her neck and pulled on both ends with all her might. Ho removed it from her as soon as he discovered what she was attempting to do, but her face was badly flashed, and she was panting for breath. She has been watched very closely over since. About two years ago a boy named George Kline, who lived in the house next the Hal- lidaysdisappeared. It wan suppeied at the time that he had stolen a horse and wagon, whioh had been missed, and made off with it. Search was made for the boy, but nothing was ever seen er heard of him. It is new thought that he may in some way have incurred the displeasure of Mrs. Halli- day, who put him out of bhe way. In fact, it is generally believed that more bodies may be found about the booalityof theHalli- day house. There is great fear that a mob will form and lynch Mrs. Halliday te-night, How They Killed the Rats. James and Henry Finkbinder, residing nt the foot of the mountain near Sunbury, Penn., have been pestered by rate, which carried off 100 little chickens and ate helea in the grain bins. One day, after they had killed a calf, they caughta huge rattlesnake alive. They pub the reptile !n a box and then threw in eomo;warna veal liver. The snake at once sank Ito deadly fango in the meat. By teasing the rattler, the men induced it to ebriko the flesh scores of times, or nail the monster serpent seemed to have exhausted not only its poison but its strength. The liver which had thus been saturated with the enako'a poison was placed where the rate ate it. The following morn - beg the men found scattered about the barn 37 dead rodents. A Special Petition. A epeoial prayer for " an unfortunate stranger mnfforing with delirium tremens on the prohibition camp grounds" was offered at the keavinea ab Giyradon Park yesterday, nays the Baltimore Sun. Secretary Ireland said : " I was standing sear my . tent, on Friday, when I saw a a1ranne man come staggering in the ground° He was intoxi- cated and on the verge of delirium tremens.

Horses That Would Win Prizes Anywhere, SIR OLIVER MOWAT'S VISIT. (Ontario Press Bureau Special.) WORLDS FAIR, JACKSON PARK, EN or twelve thousand redeo le bad a chance on Wednesday to form an . idea of the renames of the Province of Ontario as a herae and cattle breeding country, when our atab'e•e were emp- tied, and all the prize- winners, and those ai which did not get prizes —though that was no disgrace in the die- tinguished oempany, in which they have found thsmeelves for the past three, weeks — paraded in the live -stook pavilion. There were the massive shertheens rad Herefords — with great premie° of steaks and roaste in the future—the curly Gallowaye, their blank hides glistening in the ennlight ; the rich, red Devons, the piebald Holetefne,end the sleek, lithe Ayrebires—decked onb with the many -colored badges of victory. And the horses : the pealed, high-stepping American Arabs, ehowing their pride of birth in every movement ; the trimneat Hackneys, easy winners among the pink of the continent, and contracted with them the heavy Clydeo, Suffolks and Shires, with bones of steel and musolee of brass—the very embodiment ef strength and endurance. How they pranced and curveted in the ring, and how they were cheered, each class hav- ing its admirers. Ib was A SIGHT LANG TO BE REMEMBERED, and no Ontario man but felt bis blood leap quicker fie he realized how nobly the banner Province of the Dominion bad anetained her reputatben in her battle with the world. As a usual thing at cattle ehowe, and for that matter at publio functiens of every kind, one meats many a pessimistic raker -up of old memories, who recalls the performances of a quarter or half a century ago. The Royal Cattle Show in England in much a year, the acting of the Elder Booth, or the singing of Jenny Lind, it may be, bub individuals of such a kidney had no solid ground to stand lip in the White City these August and September days. Cel. J. H. Pickrell, of Chicago, one of the best- known old-time ehorthornmen on the conti- nent, Secretary of the Shorthorn Associa- tion and judge in that clams, is authority for the statement than never in any country has such an assemblage of horses and cattle been gotten together ; nor was it ever attempted on the same scale. Those who were there say that the preoenb exhibition of aborthorns is fully equal, if ib does not surpass, that ab the Royal Agricultural at Warwick, England, last year. The hero of thio show was undoubtedly Yeung Abboteburn,11,069-3,000 pounds in weight, teed the most massive shorthorn that ever graced an American prize ring. Three years aeo he was purchased by Col. Meberley, of Kentucky, from J. & W. Watt, of Salem, Ontario, and since then he has downed everything in eight, rounding off hie career by being declared THE BEST ON THE CONTINENT. It was hardly expected that he would so leng remain the victor, but that he has done so proves how gi and an animal be is. Another beauty is Nonpareil Chief, 113,- 024, bred by Arthur Johnston, Greenwood, Ontario, a eon ef Old Indian Ceief, and also owned by Col, Moberboy. He was awarded third prize, while fourth honors went to Earl Fane VIII, 107,695, bred by John Hope, of Bow Park, Ontario, and owned by Col. H. F. Brown, of Minnesota. To feluow further down the prize list would take more space than I can afford, but after a careful scrutiny of the herd book I find that Ontario blood is strong in many of the other prize -winners now in American herds. When we came to tho younger cattle our breeders ehowed what MAX they were made ef, and established beyond e. °doubt that On- tario is still the nursery for shertherns. Leaving the beef herds, wo find first the blaok and white Hellanders—Holstein- Friesiane, se they are generally known. Though not large in numbers the contingent was select and of high close. Ontario was rapreeented by ene herd only—that of L C. McNivon & Son, Winoaa, who has no reason to feel ashamed of the psaition he took among hie competitors. His aged bull was a picture, with hie soft hide, silky' hair and rich quality and color, and ranked: a Rood second. Who that has read Blaokmoro and Kingsley demi not have ever present be- fore him the green lush meadows of Devon- shire and l:oep a °eft Bpot in his heart for the rich, desk red natio which take their name from the loveliest county in all. England. Largo of frame, sleek of hide, soft of eye, and just the pieties(' of an honest cow that CAN IT'LL A BIG PAIL WITH MILK while she lives, and is a good mark for the butcher when her time camee. Uniform in color and size, the Devon ring wan particu- larly attractive, and tho honor of our Province was kept up by Mr. W. J. Rudd, of Edon Mills, who was a frequent prize - taker. It is hard to find a farmer in Canada who has not a kind word for the Ayrahirea, neat, clean, kindly-dispesea, grand pail - ern and fair h eefers, oepeoia1ly i Ith e Shorthorn Dross. It is no wonder they have so many admirorv. And in We elves was where we die -binned all comers, leaving but, two or three money prima to breeders out- side of Canada. Gras der heeds than those of Stowarb, of Melee ; Yuill, of Carleton Piece ; Goy, of Oebawru, and Smith, of Fairfield Plains, have never been led into the arena, and right/ well dJd they fulfil the expectatione of their friends. The Qneboo Ayrahires, toe, were well up in the mem- petition, tri thes J zany class, Oil,arie wan repro - sorted only by orae bull, which, however, did not rank high among the winners. TURNING NOW TO HORSES. The largest clam in whioh Ontario breeders were interested was the Ciydes, in whioh some twenty exhibitors canto forward, anti most of them were prize -takers, though hardly so far lip in the lint tee their friends oxpeobed. But it wee a grand thew altogether, In number and gnality, and ono whioh le net likely 80011 to be repeated. In shiron, but ono Ontario man, 14r.

Another of Mr. Beith'e stallions, Ottawa, is also a beauty. Dark chestnut in color, rich in allthatgoea to make a good hackney, he le very near perfection, and had no rival bub his black stable mate. Lady Aberdeen and Winnifred, able from Mr. Beith'e stables, make a beautiful team, and there le no dieputing the decision that gave them first ono second plaoee, and the sweepstakes to the latter. Mr. H. N. Crossley, of Muskoka, sent two elegant mares, Lady Cockney, and Lady Bud, into the ring, of the real nag type, such as Londouern delight in, both of whioh were winners. Fireworks, also owned by Mr. Croseley, is a likely colt and will be " a geed ore to go" hereafter surely. Mr. George Hastings, of Toronto, took third prize with 2 -year-old Star of Maple II., as handsome a light bay as ever stood in a ring, that needs only a little more training to make him as geed as any of them. The great suooess of Dr. J. P,. Hall, off Toronto, in winning five prizes with his three American Arabs, Fez, Aldebaran and Keturah, is ebill a general topic of oonverea- bien among horsemen. AbIONG THE CATTLE AGAIN. In the aweepsbakes for beef breeds, Ontario again came to the frontand finished eff nicely her long Iist of triumphs. A finer lot of beef cabbie it would be hard to find than the eight young horde, including short. hernia Herefords, polled Angus and Galloway's ; three were ranged along the norbh aide ef the garden to await the decision of the judges on the second best prize of the show—$600 in cold oash. Right ab the heed stood J. & W. Russell'® familiar quintette Lord Stanley, Centennial, Ise - belles 27th and 30th, Nonpareil 50th and Ruby Princess. Three of them pure white, Round and round went tbe judges, poking and punching the ribs and banks of tho patient animals, leohing before and behind and from bhe Bid e, comparing notes and shift- ing the herds from bums to time, but never offering to move the Rnseell herd from their position. To the hundreds of Cana- dians whe WERE WAITING FOR THE VERDICT it was en anxious time, and when at last the decision was given by the Marshal, con- gratulations were showered en Mr. Russell far the splendid viobeiy. Mr. Ruseell also won the sweepstake prize with hie yearling bull and heifer calf, and was third among 2-year-eld heifers. W. B. Cockburn, of Aberfoyie, won first with his roan bull calf, beating out of eight, with another set of judges, the little red bull tbat outranked him in the earlier days of the competition. There aro a good many other points about these cattle competitions which are exceed- ingly lntereebing, but they must perforce be held over for another letter. With this week will close the cattle and horse exhibit for the present. The fat stook and fast horses will come en in October, and the sheep and swine towards the end of the present month. In both these latter it is expected that Ontario will be well repre- sented. VISIT FFROM THE PREMIER. Among the visitors of note during the present week have been Sir Oliver Mowat and Hon. John Dryden, who called in to Bee the wonders of the White City on their return from the region north of Lake Superior. The veteran Premier did a good deal of sight.seeleg and was delighted with the show as a whole, and expressed himself as more than pleased with the exhibits of Ontario in all the departments. In a quiet way Sir Oliver received a geed deal of at- tention, many distinguished mon calling on him, and by spacial request ho paid a visit to the Supreme Grand Lodge of Foresters which was in session in the city and had the distinction conferred on him of being made an honorary member of the Order. Mr. Dryden was especially interested in ibhe live etock and was a frequent %natter to the barns and the stook pavilion, On Thursday afternoon theownere of the Canadian stock and an many of the attend- ants as could get away, were entertained at the Canadian pavilion by Honorary Com- missioner Cockburn, and spent an hour or two very pleasantly fighting the battles over again and congratulating each other on their Bsocesaes. The attendance at the World's Fair is jumping up these days. Ten mi/liens of people paid for admission up to the first of the month, and at the present rate ib would bo no surprise if nearly as many came during the balance of the season. People seem at last to have awakened to the fact that if they do not vieittbe White City they will lose the opportunity of a lifetime, and in spite of the bard times they find the money for the trip.

That gives the gloaey effect which is so snoh in vogue, but this is only the start in the perfuming of it A young lady who has tried it successfully says : " There aro ways and ways of perfuming the hair, but 1 found the but way was to have a mob cap of soft, thin silk made and lined with cotton that had been thickly sprinkled with sachet powder.

She Explains Why the Sisters and Their Pupils Aro So Healtby—hue to Strict. Rules of :Hygiene and the Medicine Used in the Ilome—Information of Value to Everybody, (From the Torre Haute, Ind., Express,) Four miles bo the nerthwest of Torre Haute lies the beautiful and piotureequo village of 81. Marys. Thio ie a Roman Catholic institution which has attained something more that national `celebrity. Fifty years ago it was established by tax Sisters of Providence, who came from the shores of France to lay the foundation for this groat charitable order. It now con- sists of the home of the Siebers of Provi- dence, known as the Providence House ; a large female seminary, one of the finest chapels in the United Sbatoo, and a rectory in which the priests make their home. A reporter of the Express while being; shown through the establishment recently aeked Sister Mary Ambrose if there was any apparent reason for the good health with whioh the sleben and their pupils ,are•" blessed. The answer va�as that particular attention. is paid by the sisters in charge to the health and happiness of the students. " Bodily • • ailment," she acid, "cermet help but have its effecb on the mind. In order to keep the mind bright and active and perfectly Blear at all times, the student's condition..,;, mush be ae nearly perfect as possible. Some time ago there was more or less ailment4 noticeable among the sister's and students, which was probably due to atmospheric causes, though of comae I do not knew' just what its origin really was. Shortly after this became noticeable a friend highly recommended a medicine called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and a+c urged upon me to give them a trial bhas I ordered some of them, and they have hien used in the inobitublon ever slate. A few a:aya ago the manufacturers wrote me for an °pinion of Pink Pilie, and my reply was as follows : " RESPECTED SIRS,—In snmwer to your kind request for our opinion of Dr. Win llama' Pink Pills, are pleased to say that these pills were so highly recommended te us that we were induced to try them, and we think eur repeated orders for them are sufficient evidence that we find them all', they are represented, a good blood -builder ' and an excellent nerve tonin. Yours very respectfully, SISTER M. AMBROSE, Secretary for Sisters of Providence." Medical scientists concede that weak blood and shattered nerves are the fruitful ,• cause of nearly every disoasotot wbf oh human flesh le heir, and if Dr. Williams' Pink Pine ie, as Sister Ambrose says they have found it, " agood blood builder and an exeellent nerve tonic," the source of good health at St. Mary's is easily traced. Sinter Ambrose said they are never with- out Pink Pills, and that new t. hey order a geese at a time. This is certainly a very high recem- mendation for the medicine, for there ba probably no class of people that gives mere attention to the physical health and wel- fare ef its membero than the Sisters e Providence, and they would not neem thing in whioh they did not have unbent -ate faith. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are truly one of the greatest medical discoveries of the age. They are the beginning of a more healthful era. Every day brings reports of remark- able cures that have resulted from the use of this wonderful medicine. In many cares the good work has been accomplished after eminent physicians had failed and pro nounced the patient beyond the hope of human aid. An analyeio proves that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed' form all the elements necessary to give new - life and richness to the blood and restore, shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for inch dise4eee as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervosa headache, the after effeote of ba grippe, palpitation of the heart,, that tired feeling malting from nervous preebration ; al. diseases depending upon vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, cheenio erysipe- las, eto. They are also a speotflo for troubles peculiar to females, auoh as soppreselons, Irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood end restore the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. In the ease of men they effect a radical cure in all oases arising from mental worry,. overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Thesepills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, ef Brockville, , Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are Bold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred) at 50 centa a box, or 6 boxes.. for 82.50, and may he had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, from either • address.
