Perhaps sleepwalking can be justly con- sidered the strangest kind of all dreams, for every variety is indeed remarkable. There is one comfort in this weird type of dreaming, and that is, the results of walk- ing in the sleep are not always dangerous. The average of cases generally result in ac- cident, but when one considers itis remark- able that every caae does not terminate fat- ally, it is a relief to know that in spite of the hazardous act, those who walk seem to have some unknown faculty of getting about in the dark without knocking against objects or falling down stairs. Were they not posses. id of this strange power every case would terminate fatally. The one cure for this dread disease seems to be by converting the nervous system into a healthy state as soon as possible, and this is not so easily accom- plished. The strangest cases are on record, and when the wonderful feats performed by a person asleep are related, they seem to be like stories made out of whole cloth. The actions generally bear relation to the daily life of a sleeper, as in the ease of the cook who was known to rise out of bed, go out into the garden with a pitcher, stop at the well to fill it, and, returning, fill numerous vessels with the water without spilling a drop. Others have teen known to execute drawings with remarkable precision, to play upon musical instruments, and still there are those who have actually gone to a writing desk and composed poetry. " The volume entitled "Napoleon in the Other World," is an example of this class, al- though it is claimed by spiritualists that the power was the result of spirits acting through the writer as a medium. The types of somnambulists have been divi ded in four divisions. 1. Those who speak without acting. 2. Those who act without speaking, which is the most com- mon type. 3. Those who act and speak. 4. Those who both act and speak and also. have the sense of touch, sight and hearing. The last type is the most peculiar of them all. Not in every case do the sleepers actually see what they are doing. As a rule they simply have a mental picture. A test of this was made as follows : A man was given a pad of paper and he started his writing on the page before him. While he was en- gaged, this sheet was removed and he con- tinued on the second page at the place he had left off on the first. Continuing he filled several of the sheets until he reached .the bottom of the last page. Being in the habit of crossing his t's and dotting his i's after writing, he placed cross strokes and dots upon the blank page in the identical places which corresponded with the t's and is on the other sheets. Another strange case happened to a young lady residing in this city, but her name is withheld.- She walked from a vestibuled sleeper on the Michigan Central railroad near St. Thomas. Her escape from accident was miraculous. She is about twenty-five years of age and was on her way to visit her sister at Ripon when she fell from the grain. The entire accident was a blank to her after awakening. Had she been aroused when she fell, the result would have been serious as the nervous shock would have been terrible. A remarkable feat was performed recently by the Rev. Mr. Rodgers at Henderson, Tenn.. He is the pastor of the Christian church, and surprised the people on the street one evening by appearing amongst them clad only in a night shirt. They followed him rapidly, but he was walking fast and reached his church ahead of them and commenced to -climb the lightning -rod. Without accident he reached the top part of the roof, sat there awhile and then slid down in safety and walked home to bed. He remembered nothing of the occur- rence. There are many other instances recorded daily in the papers, such as the man 'who was afraid to sleep above ground because he was in the habit of getting up nightly to plough. Once he went to a hotel,and when the window screen obstructed his way be thought it was a root in the soil," and kick- ing it away plunged out and met his death. AN ARKANSAS ?IIRACLE. A Remarkable Story of Interest to Every Woman. A Young Woman Who Was Literally Fad Case Hopeless—How she was Saved. From the Arkansas Democrat. The story of renewed health told in following article has been carefully inves gated by the Democrat, and is of the de est interest to all parents. The conditi of Miss Clements is that of thousands girls in our land, whose health and vitali is slowly but surely being sapped awn Pale, listless and sallow girls meet us every side, and unless the same prom measures are taken as in the case of M Clements, a premature grave is the ine table result. Lulu Clements, the ninete year old daughter of bars. Cora V. Clement one of the most prominent residents of Lo oke, Ark., was attacked with a rnysteriou wasting disease over a year ago, and despi the strenuous efforts of the local physicia she continued to grow worse. Her bloo had turned to water, she suffered inten agony, and was almost ready to give u life when relief came. Her story is be told as related by her mother to a Democr reporter :— " In the fall of 1892 my daughter bega to shows signs that some disease was wrec ing her system. Despite the constant a tention of local physicians she grew wors Her complexion was pale, and she beam almost as white as marble. She complaine of heart palpitation. Her feetnd hand were cold, and she was almost driven int hysterics by racking headaches and back aches and shortness of breath and other dis tressing symptoms. All these condition betoken anaemia, or in other words 'seater and impoverished condition of the blood which could not preform the functions o nature. She had no appetite; for man days she did not eat enough for a child t subsist on, " Her condition grew from bad to wore and becoming alarmed, I sent her to promi neat physicians in Virginia, Tennessee an Little Rock. All efforts of this nature t regain her health proved fruitless. Paten medicines of many kinds were tried an given thorough tests,hut without any appar ent effect towards improving the patient " Myself and daughter had almost give up in despair, having almost, concluded that a restoration of her health was an im possibility. In the Arkansas Democrat espied an advertisement of Dr, Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, which claimed that they would give ready relief to per- sons suffering from a disease the symptoms of which were the same as in the case of my daughter. I purchased some of the pills, and commenced • giving my daughter three pills a day. Before the first box had been taken an improvement was noticed. Color in her face was noticed, and her appetite returned. The terrible headaches and backaches ceased, and she could breath more freely. When the fourth box had been taken she was entirely well, and since then she has enjoyed excellent health. She is now robust and full of life, making our family happy once more. Quite a contrast to the situation six months ago, when every- body thought she would die. " I think ' Pink Pills' the best medicine in the world for the blood, and have recom- mended them to several citizens' of this place, who have been restored to health by thier use. Mrs. Henry Brown was in a very bad condition. She tried the Pink Pills, when she improved rapidly and is now a very healthy woman." The discoverer of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People certainly deserves the high- est tribute that pen can frame. His medicine has done more to alleviate the suffering of humanity than any other medicine known to -science, and his name should be banded down to future generations as the greatest savant of the present age. Druggists say that Dr, Williams'Pink Pills have an enormous sale, and from all quart- ers come glowing reports of results follow- ing their use. In very many cases the good work has been accomplished atter eminent physicians had failed, and pronounced the patient beyond the hope of human aid. An analysis shows that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness to the blood, and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such dis- eases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu- matism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, nervous prostra- tion ; all diseases depending upon vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrotula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In 'nen they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams, Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred, and the public are cautioned against numerous imitations sold in thisshape)at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company from either address. the ti- ep- on of ty y• ons a vi - en n- s, to ns d se p st at n k - e. e d s 0 s y f y 0 d 0 t d n I The Pioneer Steamer of the Pacific- Ocean • Nearly threescore years have passed since the Hudson's Bay Company's steamer Beaver floated down the Thames. The Beaver was the first European steamer to round Cape Horn and was the pioneer steamer of the Pacific Ocean, the passage from London to Astoria, Oregon, consum- ing 163 days. The Beaver was 101 feet long, 20 feet broad and the depth was 112 feet, the tonnage being 1094. The boiler and the two side lever engines, of 35 horse power each, were made by Boulton & Watt at their Birmingham works. The engines cost £4,500 and weighed 52 tons. The ves- sel was built in the most substantial man- ner of live oak and greenheart, the timbers being held together by copper bolts. The Beaver was used as a fur trading vessel by the company, and on one of these trips coal was discovered on Vancouver Island. In 1849, during the gold excitement, many miners took passageon this little black steamer. In steaming out of Burrard In- let in the fall of 1888 she struck a rock, and, wrapped in a sheet of troubled waters, with head resting on a huge barnacle -clad bowlder, the Pacific pioneer steamer Beay. er passed' into history. Unsuccessful of forts were made to float the Beaver and she remained on the rocks nearly four years. An attempt was made to take the Beaver to the World's Fair, but was abandoned, owing to her damaged condition and the cost of transportation. Messrs. McCain & Menzies, well known contractors of Van- couver, B. C., purchased the vessel and obtained 975 pounds of old brass and cop- per, which will be made up into souvenir medals. The number will be limited and each will be stamped with a number, to prevent any possibility of counterfeiting. The timber has also beon worked up into souvenir canes, etc. Built and equipped as a period when steam navigation was in its infancy, it is scarcely a wonder that there should be a calhfor souvenirs of the . first steam vessel to plow the broad Pacific .

Some experiments in military ballooning were lately made in Paris. rive balloons were sent up from the Esplanade des Inva- hides. The aeronauts in charge of them were instructed to descend within an hour as close as possible to Combs la Ville, after passing over a radius of twenty miles sup- posed to be oecupied by an enemy. A number of cyclists were sent off with in- structions to pursue and capture any of the five balloons that failed to cross the zone of investment. M. Jacques Courty, in the balloon Patriote, carried off the palm. He alighted within a mile of the ch'irch of Combs la Ville. The balloon directed by M. Picq touched the ground only a couple of hnndred yards further from the town, while M. Compiegne alighted from a third balloon at Reaux. . The other two balloons fell within the radius, and were captured by the cyclists. Clumsy Horseman—"Say, boy, what do you sMean by running after me with that big pillow under_ your arm ?"

In almost every city women have opened barber shops with a great flourish of trum- pets and have been patronized very liberally by the youths of the city, who regarded the idea as distinctly novel. But the cases where the project has proved anything like a success are very rare. It looks very easy to strop a razor, but every man who has tried to shave himself recollects how he has absolutely failed to produce the desired effect, in spite, of the most vigorous applica- tion of energy and what he regarded as skill. A woman is at still greater disadvan- tage, and can seldom sharpen even a pen- knife, let alone a hollow -ground razor. The only possible chance the average woman barber has is to keep a man busy sharpening her razors and by so doing she has to pay the bulk of her profits in the way of super- fluous wages. in Important Scientific Discovery. Nerviline, the latest discovered pain remedy, may safely challenge the world for a substitute that - will as speedily and promptly check inflammatory action. The highly penetrating properties of Nerviline make it never failing in all cases of rheuma- tism, neuralgia, cramps, pains in the back and side, headache, lumbago, etc. It pos- sesses marked stimulating and . counter irritant properties, and at once subdues all inflammatory action. Ormand & Walsh, druggists, Peterboro', write : " Our cus- tomers speak well of Nerviline." Large bottles 25 cents. Try Nerviline, the great internal and external pain cure. Sold by all druggists and country dealers. "Take that back," said the insulted man. "No, sir," replied the other. "I never took water in my life."

Large as a Dollar Were the scrofula sores on my poor little boy, sickening and disgusting. They were espe- cially severe on his legs, back of his ears and on his head. His hair was so matted that combing was sometimes impossi- ble. His legs were so bad that sometimes he could not sit down, and when he tried to walk his legs would crack open and the blood start. Physicians did not effect a cure. I decided to give him Hood's Sarsapa- rilla. In two weeks the sores commenced to heal up; the scales came off and all over his body new and healthy flesh and skin formed. When he had taken two bottles of Jos. Ruby.
