THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
,A CHILD'S SUFFERING.
E(er Mather Feared She Would
not Regain Her Health.
she Was First Attacked with Rheutnatism,
- and Then with St. Vitue Dance—She
Was Unable tollielp Herself, tend Had
to beCared for Almost Like an Infant,
From the Sun, Orangeville. Ont.
Among the much respected residents of
Oratigeville i3 Mre Marehall, who livee in a
pretty little cottage on Fifth street. 'For
seine years her twelve -year-old daughter,
Mamie, has been a sufferer from rheuma-
ed with that other terrible malice
teiiesme—crebNi'llitus' dance. In conversation re-
cently with a reporter of the Sun, Mrs.
Marahall told the following stery of her
daughter's suffering and subeequent restor-
ation to health :—` At the age of eight,"
Biqa -Mrs. Marshall, "-Mamie was attacked
svith rheumatism, from which she suffered
very treacle and, although she was treated
by a clever doctor, her heelth did not im-
prove. To make her conditien worse ene
was attacked with St. Vita dance, and I
really gave up hope of ever eeeing her en.
joy good health again. Her arms and limbs
would twitch and jerk spesmodicelly, and
she could acarcely hold a dish in her band,
And had to be looked after almoet like an in-
fant. While Mamie was in this condition a
neighbor, who had used Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills with benefietial results in her own fam-
ily, acIviaed me to try them in Mamieht case.
I had myself often heard these pills highly
spoken of, kilt it had not occurred to me be•
fore thet OM might cure my little girl, but
now I decided to give them to her. Before
siee.had completed the teetered box I could
see a marked change for the better, end by
the time she had taken five boxes all trace
of both the rheumatism and St. Vitus'
dance had vanished, and she is now as
bright, active and healthy as any child of
her age. Some time has elapaed since oho
discontinued the use of the pills, but not the
slightest trace af the trouble has since made
itself manifeet. I think, therefore, that I
am safe, in &wing that I believe Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills not only restored my child
ho health, but have worked a permanent
cure."
Rheumatiem, St. Vitus' dance and all
kindred diseasea of the blood and nerves,
imeedily yield to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
and the cures thua effected are permanent,
because thia medicine meikee rich red blood,
etrengiliens the nerve?, and thus reaches
the root of the trouble, These pills are sold
by all deelers in medicine or will be sent

Jean Bla,ne and the Dentist.
In a certain rurel district in Scotland
there lived an iedividual, named Jean
Blane, who, being a lady of considerable
force of character was well-known in her

her life ware an event that called forth her
stroeg traits, the manifeatation of which

Ths Maxims of Judy.
We look beckwamd regretting or forward
hoping, while ths present stands offering us
flowers.
" Show me a man who has never made a
mistake, and I will show you Olin who has
ueyer tried anything.
It is a mistake to eat all you cam spend
all you have, tell all you know, or show all
you feel.
A bad pup often makes a good dog, and I
would rather undertake to reverse the force
of a bad man than loan my own to a weak
one.
Many people labor like an ox or a mule,
and have to be pressed or they will not earn
their feed.
Don't tell me what you have ot beauty,
atrength, education mdriey, or genius. The
only thing I care to eo(,iesider is what you are
doing with it.
- If we could get a shield fiom the jeer of
thinge that never happen our troubles
would be reduced 90 per cent.
Many practice humanity to let the under
hold. '
If you dan't know where success lies per-
haps you know where it is not,and that will
show me what to avoid.
Set your stake, and before you reach ib
set it hailer ahead.
Some people kick at everything they don't
understand.
I would rather fall and know the cause,
than eucceed and not know why.
He that opposes us sharpens our wits and
becomes our helper.
I can tolerate a man who fails to ecquire
an education, or one who never gets a dol-
lar ahead ; but I soon grow tired of -a person
who does not have sense enough to_ have a
good time.
If you expect to make anything, expect to
make mistakes.—George W. Stevees, iet

Red Cloud et the Pan-American.
Red Cloud, of the Cayuga, is a unique
character. He does not Itve in a tepee,
however, and refuse to communicate in the
language of the pale face, but answers the
curious queries of visitor,' with great dig-
nity and reserve, as well as with Sparan
brevity. To the suggestion that he 1 ad
"f:lived a good many years " the old Indhin
answered " 83," but to the observation that
ho " didn't look as Old as thee" he deigned
to give no reply whatever. This interest.
ing old Indian oecupies the weetern log
cabin in the Six Nations' exhibit at the Pan-
American Exposition. He sits in a rock-
ing chair and works away on various orna•

The old man wears a pair of blue jeans
held up by a belt, and his! flannel shirt is
surmounted by a waistcoat, attached to

hie watch.
When asked for hie name or card, the
old man indicates a picture of a brave in
war paint and feathers, underneath which is
printed—Red Cloud, Cayuga.

Indian it he often appears in the dress of

woman would doubtless refer to as glad

'On Growing Old.
How strangely our ideas of growing old
change as we get on in life. To the girl in
her 'teens the riper maiden of 25 years
seems quite aged. Twenty-two thinks 35
" old thing." Thirty-five dreads 40, but
congratulates herself that there may still
remain some ground to be possessed in the
15 years before the half century shall be at-
tained. ,But 50 does not by any Means give
up the battle of life, It feels rniddleaged
and vigorous, and thinks old age is a long
way in the future. Sixty remembers those
who have done great things at three score ;
and one doubts if Para when he was mar-
ried at 100,- had at all begun to feel himself
an old man: It is the desire of life in us
which makes us feel young so long.

Then came the account of the pious work
of Skorg, the counterfeiter, who has been

It is by no means unusual for " crooks " of

commanded the respect of, the community

He was always doing good in some way or
another, his epecial hobby being kindness to
children. Ole he was such a benevolent,
loveable old fellow ! He was all the time
organizing entertainments for the dear
children, and treating the whole primary
schools to taffy rend toys. He used to gath-
er children at his house to witnees Punch
and Judy shows, where he would stuff them
with candy and cake and send each one
away with a nice little preeent.
To the police dear old Uucle Billy was
known as Isaac Morgan, daring hotel
ewindler and jewel thief, He found time
in the interval of making glad the hearte of

the clevereeejewelry _robberies on record.
Oae day he would be rifling a jevvel chest
in some " swell " hotel, and the next, clad
in a long frock coat and cashmere trouser§
distributing prizes to school children. It
was he who stole the great Perbeek ruby
frem the Duchese d'Uzee. His last exploit
in tile line of his profeshion was to steal the
diamende of the Princess Elidoff, from a
hotel in Scarborough. For this crime he
-was run to earth by the detectives, and
there were no more Phnch and Judy shows
for Uncle Billy for 18, years,

WONDERS IN BONES.
Sonte Curious Factn In Ceseaux Struc-
ture Little Dreamed Of.
Exhibited in a glass case in the Na-
tional museurn at \Vashington there Is a
bone—a human tibia—tied in a knot.' It
has-beeii rendered thus flexible by seeking
acid,, which has dissolved out of it all
its mineral parts, leaving only the animal
portion. This portion makes about ,one-
• third 0o the bone, which fact might sur-
prise sotne people who .suppose that their
bones are 'tidiest wholly lime.
"Theee are- funny things about bones
other than funny bones," saki an osteol-
ogist connected with the Smithsonian in-
stitutIon. "For• example, the bones of
birds are hollow and filled with warm air
from the lungse so it may be said that a
bird breathes down to its toes and te the
tip of its wings. In fact, if you break off
the wing of a duck the animal can actual-
ly breathe through the broken end of the
bone, though you hold its head under wa-
ter. Soine of the gigantic reptiles of the
mesozoic epoch, which some scientists
claim tie have been the -ancestors of inan,
had hollow bones, sineilarly filled with air
from the lungs, for the support of 'their
bodies la the water while they browsed
upon seaweeds near shore, their massive
and solid leg bones serving' them. as
anchors -le a depth about sufficient to cov-
er' their backs.
"People continually imagine that their
bones nee- of solid mineral construction,
without' any feeling In them. No one
who has ever had a leg or an arm. cut off
is likely to indulge such a mistaken no-
tion. Comparatively speaking, little pain
is telt when the flesh if being cut through,
but when the bone is attacked by the
saw, olg my!
"You tee, as a matter of fact, there are
blood vessels_and nerves inside the bones,
just as there are outside. Any one who
has purchased a beefsteak at the market
knows about the marrow in the hone. It
is the same with other animals than the
beef, including human beings. Through
the marrow run the nerves and blood ves-
sels, entering the bones. from the flesh
without by little holes, which you can see
for yourself any time by examining a
skeleton, or part of oue.
"Nature adapts the bony structure of
various enimals to their habits in a very
intcrestilag manner. Sluggish creatures
like the sloth have solid .bones, whereas
the bono of the deer and the antelope are..
comparatively light, so that they may run
fast, end the leg borce-s of the oetrich are

DRIFTWOOD JOURNEYS.
Timber Often Found 'That Has Wan,
dered Thousande of Mies.
Driftwood is frequently found whieh
is known to have wandered many thou-
sands of 'miles.
Tropical timber from Asia has been
piled up hi large quantitiee on the Alas=
kan coast. Oregon OineS haTe visited
Hawaii, and Norwegian trees have been
found on the coast of Greenland. Many
of these voyages are made ha remarkably
short time.
The lengest and most direct otlethese
curious routes across the ocean e*tends
between Japan ,and the southern shore
of Alaska. The camphor tree of Japan,
the mago and ma.hogany have been mak-
Ing_ this long voyage for centuries Until
paRa of the American coast are littered
with. them. Most of the trees were proba-
bly uerooted by violent storms far inland
and found their way down rivers to the
sea. Trees 150 feet in length have made
thie journey.
An immense amount of Siberiaa and
American driftwood reaches Greenland.
The Greenlauders use implemeuts made
of wood which grew on the banks ot
Siberian rivers. Trees are also found
on the west coast, c..f Greenland -which
are believed to have grown on the banks
of the Mis-sissippi river. To reach Green-
land this wood first floats to the gulf of
Mexico, to be caught by the Gulf stream
rind carried northward. Greenlanders
who have never eeee white men make
their weapons of iron which has drifted
ashore in wreck evood.
The Norwegian tiseing boats use thou-
sands of tiontS fOr their trete, and many
of these have berm found on the west
coast of Greenland.- ,•It is 'believed that
they were carried by the Gulf strewn
northward to 'where the current merges
,with the one which sets westward from
Siberia. A great deal of driftwood also
escapes from the Amazon erre other
South *American rivers and is carried
north to be scattered along the coast of
North America.

When Marriage Is Not & Drawback.
This is what a young lady is reperted
recently to have said, apropos of mar-
riage: "Well, uo, I don't know if I would
marry for money alone, but if a man had
plenty of money, allied te a sweet dine-
sition, and a mustache that curled at both
ends and nice blue eyes and a social po-
Otion; if Ile lod a distinguished slatus
in a professioii or even tee Mereliant,
find his father was rich and his mother
and sisters aristocratic, and he wanted
to marry me, and he would promise to
let me have my own way in everything
and keep me liberally supplied with money
and havo a splendidly furnished town
house and a handsome country residence,
was liberal about diamonds and other
gems, also about the milliner, never grum-
bling, and I really and truly loved him,
1 shouldn't! consider marriage a draw-
back."
Clerical Humor.
"That was an excellent discourse you
delivered last Sunday," remarked a vet-
eran minister of the gospel to a rising
young preacher, "but I would hardly call
it a sermon."
"Why not, doctor?" demanded the oth-
er.
"Because you had no text."
"Don't you call such a discourse a ser-
mon unless it has a text?"
"Certainly not."
"You have read the sermon on the
mount, have you not?"
"Many, many times."
,"Well, it has no text."
"Ou the contrary, my dear young
friend," said the veteran, "it is composed
entirely of texts."
seamickneau.
The cause of seasicknese, according to
Health, is one's conscious or unconscious
effort to withstand the motion of the ship,
instead of yielding to it. "Let go, give
up," says Health, is the whole seciet of!
avoiding nausea. If in bed when the ail-
ment firSt comes on,- the voyager is to
wedge himself in with a life preserver, so
that he will roll with the vessel. He is
to relax his arms, legs, toes—the entire
body. The hack, the throat, the face and
the mind are to be "let go." On deck one
may swagger as if tipsy, but in doing so
he gets his "sea legs," and, that 'is the
whole secret.
The Irish Long and Short of It.
An Irishman wished to have a note dis-

The Irishman said, "But, then, you. don't
consider how short the days are at this
time of the year."
