To it, as did a Planet reporter a few days
ago, in a very atmosphere of sweet har-
mony, created by Dr. Verrinder's magician -
like touch was an experience -that might
well be envied, and o e calculated to in-
spire the most eentim ntal reveries. But
sentimental moods fina ly vanish and leave
one facing the sober nd practicalaide of
life. The musk oeaee4 and the conversa-
tion took a turn leadin to the real object of
the reporter's call.
" There are stories a
road," said the news-
paper man, " regarding some extraordinary
deliverance from deathi which you have met
with recently, doctor.) Would you object
to stating what foundation there is for them,
and, if any, furnish me with the true facts
for publication." Dd. Verrinder shrugged
his shoulders and laughed. "I have not,"
he replied, "been given to seeking news.
'paper notoriety; and at fifty-five years of
age it is not likely I shall I begin, and yet,"
i.
Fond the professor after thinking a moment,
and consulting Mrs. Verrinder, "perhaps it
is best that I should give you the circum-
itances for nee in The Planet. The story of
my rescue frim the grave might fittingld be
prefaced by ii little of my early hietery. We
residecrin .Englandorhere though I was a
profeesor of music, I was not dependent on
my art, as I had aoquired a competence.
My wife was an heiress, having £50,000 in
her own right. Through the rascality of a
broker she was robbed almost of all her
fortune, whildby the Bank of Glasgow fail-
ure, my money vanished forever.' It be-
came necessary for me then to return to my
profession in 'order to live. I do not speak
of it boastingly, but I stood well among the
musicians of that day in •the old land. My
fees were a guinea a lesson, and it was no
uncommon thing,for me to give twenty in a
day. We- mune to America, landing in
Quebec, where I anticipated getting engage-
ment as organist in the. cathedral, but was
diseppointed. Subsequently we moved to,
St. Catharinei, in which city I procured an
ergan and choir and.eoon had a large client-
ele. Later, in order' as I thought to better
my fortune, I took up my residence in Lon-
don, first filling an engagement ivith a
Methodist church and afterwarde accepting
the position of cirganist in St. Peter's Cath-
edral. In those cities I made many warm
friends, and their tributes and gifts I shall
ever detain as among the preaious of my
possessions. It wee while living ! in London
and pursuing my art with Much .earnestness
and labor that I reoeived a stroke of para-
lysis. Perhaps," -here the speaker rose

been more than kind to me during my in-
n*, recommended Pink Pills. I knew
nothing About *hat they were or what they
could accomplish. Iii fact I .11111 rather a
sceptic on what are termed " proprietary
remedies." But I started to take Pink Pills
for Pale People, made by the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co.;. Brookville. From the very
first, one at a'dose, I began to men, and
before I had taken more than a box or two
I knew that 1 had found the right remedy
and that to the Pink Pills I owed my life.
In nine months I have taken twelve boxes
-Net ;ix dollars worth. Think of it, my
friend Hundreds of dollen for other
treatment, and only six dollars for what has
made a'man of me and set me again on the
highway of health and prosperity. There
is some subtle, life-giving principle in Pink
Pills which I do not attempt to fathom. I
only knew like the blind man, of old:'
"Once I was blind; now I can see 1" God,
In the mystery of his, providence, directed
my brother of the A. O. U. W. to me. I
took it. I live and rejoice in iny'health and
strength I have no physical malady,saving
a slight stiffness in myleg due to grippe. I
feel as well as in my pelmiest days. My
prospects are good. All this I gratefully
attribute to the virtues of Pink Pills for
Pale People, "and now my story is done !"
aPi the nursery ballad runs. If anybody
should ask confirmation of this tale of mine,
let him write to me and I shall cheerfully
furnish it. The Pink Pills were thy res-
cuer and I'll be their friend and advocate
while I live !"
The reporter finally took his leave of Dr.
Verrinder, but not without the professor
.entertaining him to another piano treat, a
,symphony played with faultless execution
and soulful interpretation of the composer's
thought.
Calling upon Messrs, A. E. Pilkey & Co.,
the well known druggists, the reporter as-
certained Dr. Williams Pink Pills have an
enormous sale in Chatham, and that from
all quarters come glowing reports of the
excellent results following their use. In
fact Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recognized
as one of the greatest modern medicines
-ma perfect blood builder and nerve re-
storer -curing such diseases as rheum-
atism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomtor
ataxia, St. Vitus dance'nervoas headache,
nervous prostration and the tired feeling
resulting therefrom, diseases depending
upon humors in the blood, such as scrof-
ula chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills re-
store pale and sallow complexions to the
glow of health, and are a specific for all
the troubles peculiar to the female sex,
while in the case of men they effect a rad-
ical cure in all oases arising from mental
worry, overwork er excessee of whatever
nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville,
Ont, and Schenectady, N. Y„ and are sodd
in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen
or hundred and the publio are cautioned
against numerous imitationsoldh in this
shape) at 50 Gents a box, ot six boxes for
$2,50, and may be had of all- dreggists or
direct by Mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company from either addrees, Tlie price
at which these pills are told make a course
of treatment comparatively inexpensive as
compered with other remedies or medical
treatment. 4•

both extremely appreciative and rather

them as the concert began, end this is what
he heard:

Electricity and Deafness.
Some of the newspapees have found[some-
thing to wonder at in the fact that an elder-
ly lady in a western city, although she had
been for some time very deaf, discovered
lately, on the occasion of taking her first
ride in an electric car, that she could hear
distioctlY while riding. The experiment
was pried tie& and again, some of her fami-
ly adcompenying her for the purpose, and
was fond to succeed perfectly.
The oomments on the matter go ' to show
that the lady's improved hearing is suppos-
ed Pe be due in some occult to the adency of
the electric forcensed in propelling the car.
This is altogether an error. It is a fact
well known to many persons afflicted with
some forms of deafness, and to their friends,
that while they are unable to hear any oral
-
nary conversation in the quiet of their
homes, or in any other comparative silence,
they hear very well in a noisy street, in a

Grippe attaoked me aud added to my paw,

my bed, and it seemed that I was Lever go-
ing to get well. No hing o a nourishing
nature would remain on my et mach. No
drugs seemed to have a counter -acting in-
fluence on the disease which was dragging
me down to death. My wife ,would, sit at
my bedside and nioietci my liwe with diluted
spirits, which was all t,bat could be done to
relieve me. Besides three local doctors who
gave me up, I had doctors from London and
Kingston whose skill t believed in and to
whom. I paid heavy ees, but without re-
ceiving any help, or encouragement.' It is
true that a etomach pu p operation afford-
ed temporary relief, but yet I felt that my
peculiar case needed sofia special and par-
ticular compound or remedial agent which I
knew not of. But, at last, thank God, I
discovered it. I had i been dor eighteen

A Perfect 'Cook.
The Story of a Newly Wedded
Pair and a Bathing Suit
They had been wedded a week and this
sweet -day they were down by the seetwhere
the billows beat musically upon the silver
sands and fall in rhythmic cadence upon the
sentient shore, changing ever, as if it ware a
living thing.
They had wandered away from the crowd
in the earlier morning, but as the hour ap-
proached when Neptune holds his reception
to the bathers they mingled again with the
throng and shyly tried the wetness of the
watery.
She was so blushing, so timid, and he was
so brave, eo daring.
He met the waves face to face and breast-
ed them, and when «he screamed as a break-
er dashed upon him he said to her:
"Tut, tut, Mamie, it is nothing.
She leaned upon his strong right arm and
clung to him fondlyeae he took her out into
the briny and boisterous surf, and she was
so proud of Mini
Strong limbed and lithe and lissom, he
was a picture even- in his bathing eiiit and
well might Mamie feel that George was a
prize package. e
Once more they essayed the; billowy
depths, and George had made a mighty ef-
fort against a waveto prevent himself and
his fair bride from standing on their heads
before a thousand eyes upon the beaoh.
She screamed in merry glee; but when
George came up clutching at himself and
growing deadly pale she screamed in wild
affright.
"Oh, George ! George !" she cried.
"Sh-shd he hissed through the seething
salt water.
. She would have screamed for help, but he
eaught her.
"Keep still, keep still," he whispered
hoarsely as a great %VIM engulfed them, and
she kept still.
" What is it ? oh, George, what is it ?"
she moaned as he dragged himself along on
the bottom with only hie head visible. -
He steadied himself es he best could and
looked at her dreamily for a moment.
" Mamie," he murmured, do you love
inc?"
"Oh, George," sheoried, "more than life
itself," but she dici.not touch him, for she
was fearful,
"Well, dear, if you do," he said, "skip
across the beach and bring a closed carriage
here. I've ripped my bathing suitup the
back, and if I move six inches fall out
of it !"
And Mamie skipped . --Detroit Free

Coal Ashes.
One spring day some years ago I dumped
a barrel of coal sidles in a corner of my gar-
den. There happened to be a clump of
Turner raspberries growing there, which,
however, had never before done ,anything
worthy of notice. That summer they took
new start in life and threw up canes of such
s'ze that the following season I gathered
uoh good fruit from them. I did not for-

Johnny Reasoned From Analogy!

Squildig to Mr. Dinwiddle as the latter
waited in the parlor for his adored one.
"Indeed !" replied Dinwiddle, much
gratified. "Here's a quarter for you.
Johnny."
The boy placed the coin in his pocket, and
the young man asked.
What did she say about me, Johnny ?"
"Well, I heard her say you were very
fresh, and I know she likes fresh things,
because Ike scolded the cook ad/fully this
morning because -her eggs at, breakfast
weren't fresh."
When Miss Squildig reached the parlor
Mr. Dinwiddie was not there. -Pittsburg
