Sherbrooke Gazette. The benefits arising from the use of Dr" Williams' Pink Pills are well known to the Gazette. It is a frequent occurrence that .,people come into the office and state that they have been restored to health by their use. It 000asionaliy.happene that extraor- dinary instances of their curative powers come to our notice, and one of these was related to us recently, so astonishing in its nature that we felt the closest investigation was required in order to thoroughly test the accnraoy of the statements made to as. We devoted the necessary time for that purpose and oan vouch for the reliability of the following facts, wonderfully passing be- lief as they may appear. There are few men more widely known in this section than Mr A. T. Hopkins, of Johnville, Que. Previous to his removal to Johnville, Mr Hopkins resided at Windsor Mills and was for three years a member of the municipal council of that place. When a young man Mr Hopkins was noted for his strength and activity as a wrestler. His strength stands him in good stead for he works hard at his business, carrying heavy sacks of flour in his mill, for many hours during the day, and frequently far into the night. Active as he is, and strong as he is, there was a time not long distant when he was as helpless as an infant, and suffered intolerable agony. About three years ago, while residing at Windsor Mills, he was attacked with inflammatory rheu- matism. It grew worse and worse, nntil, in spite of medical advice and prescriptions, after a year's ,illness, he had a stroke of paralysis. His right arm and leg became quite useless. Sores broke out on both legs. He suffered excruciating agony, and had rest neither night nor day. He sought the best medical advice that could be ob- tained, but no hopes were held out to him by the physicians. "He will certainly die within a month," one well known practi- tioner told his friends, "He will be a cripple for life," said two other doctors. It is no wonder that, as he says, life became a burden to him and he longed for death to relieve him from his sufferings. This was in August, 1892. About October of that year he heard of Dr Williams' Pink Pills and as a forlorn hope determined to try them. He did so, and before long was able to take outdoor exercise. He persevered with the treatment, closely following the directions, and is to -day nearly as strong as when a young man, and is able to follow successfully and without difficultythe la- borious calling by which he gets a 1iving.s,I, Such was the wonderful story told the Gazette by Mr Hopkins, who attributes his recovery solely to the use of Dr Wil- liams' pink pills, and he is willing to satis- fy ady person who may call on him as to their wonderful effects. A depraved conditrin of the blood or a shattered nervous system is the secret of moat ills that afflict mankind, and by re- storing the blood and rebuilding the nerves, Dr Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disease, driving it from the eys- tem and restoring the patient to health and strength, and in all cases of St. Vitus dance, locomotor ataxia, rheuma- tism, paralysis, sciatica, the after effects. of La Grippe, loss of appetite, headache, diz- ziness, chronic erysipelas, scrofula, etc. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedily restore the rioh glow of health to sallow cheeks. Men broken down by overwork, worry or onuses, will find in Pink Pills a certain cure.

Some workmen in Paris recently dis- covered a great odlloction of human bonot buried in a vacant lot, behind the Lion tie Belfort monument. There is much doubt and -speculation as to the 000aelbil of their burial. Tho bones were so numerous-tjiat-lt was not convenient to count them. They made a pile of the height of a man and many yards in extent. They were carried in oartloads to the oateoombe, the elitranoo of which is not far away from the place of their disoovery. The skeletons were not arranged with any attempt at orderliness such as is usual in almost all wholesale burials. They had been thrown in pell-mell, one on top of the other. It was evident that the ground had beets used as a burial place during some period of great mortality, probably a war or an epidemic. The state of preservation of the skele- tons showed that they had been burled at a somewhat recent date. This fact makes it all the more strange that there should be any doubt as to their history. One would hardly think it possible that thousands of people could die at ones and be buried together in the capital of civilis- ation and that no one should remember the occurrence a few years later, The street, which the burial wound touches, is the Rue du ()hemp d Asile, near the fortifications. The actual limits of Paris passed near this point up to the ybar 1860, when they were moved to theist present Many Neve that the bones are those of Qommnniste who were slain wholesale by the soldiers and treated with no re, evict after death. Tho Co enuniete then. selves killed freely, but their v9'ork w4r trifling compared to that of tho repro-• sentatives of authority. The ekoletons found' by the Rue do Chopp l'Aslle wetld-aepiosent'b t a small propportlo» of the federated Communtete Wlfo died suddenly. But there are circumstances whioh tenet doubt on this history. No arms and no trace of garments were found among the bones. Bosides, the Communards were as a rule buried in the Cemetery of Pero-la- Ohaise, although there were numerous exceptions. It is therefore ooneiderod more probable that the bones are those of viotims of the great cholera epidemic of 1832. Out of seven hundred thousand persons who com- posed the population of Paris at that time, one hundred thousand perished. The mortality was so rapid and se great that the corpses worn piled half -naked on wagons and driven away as quickly as poesflbe to the pity limits. ANIMALS TRIED FOR CRIMES. In Olden Times the Lower Animals Were Punished Just Like Men. In these days of enlightened equity it is hard to realise that there was a time when Allo lower animal' were prosecuted by law. As late as the sixteenth century bogs, rats. flies, bees and insects of vari- ous kinds were solemnly tried for depre- dations of which 1t was said they were guilty. It is recorded that a lot of rata tried to eat up the barley of the south of Franca In the trial the rats were defend- ed by Chasseneux, a great lawyer of the day, who actually won the ease for she animal& In Sardinia the ass was the only animal exempt from capital punish- - mom Why it should have boon exempt mote than other animals is a mystery.

Procedures of this nature were eons- : mon as late as the time of Shakospdare. Towards the latter end of the Sixteenth century the authorities awoke t,o a tense of the litter silliness of the ',whole affair, and by the year 170f) the priyotiee had be- come very uncommon.

The wall was built about fifty years ago of hand -made bripke, laid in ground mortar made with Flintshire limo. This lime is in it high degree hydraulic and has a reputation of making mortal of ex- oeptlonaly good quality. The Journal of the Royal Institute of Britlah Architects, whioh describes the investigation, etatee that the engineer conceived the happy thought of leaving a piece of it in the form of a horizontal beam, having a twelve -toot span and measuring about two feet square in section, seven coulees in the height of a two -foot wall. The ends of the beams were not cut free from the rest of the work. This beam was then loaded with all the weight that scald be conveniently piled upon it, with no apprecalble deflection or other sign of weakness resulting. Two courses were then out off and the whole weight again put on, but without result. The beam was further reduced by a oouree, leaving it four ooureoe, or fourteen inches deop, and the ends were also cut free from the other work --the mortar beds of the twelve -inch bearings being left untouch- ed. A centrally planed load of five tons fifteen hundred weight was.then gradual- ly piled upon it, and was borne for several days without apparent effect upon the brickwork. Finally the weight was in- creased to six tons nine hundredvolgbt twenty-three pounds, which was sustain- ed for thirty hotelis, when the beam col- lapsed during the night nd came down in pieces mare like broken timber tha anything else.

She Hopes to lie the Center of a New and High Clvitization. In "The Far East," a book by Mr. Henry Norton. appears the folioveing speeoh, made by Count Okuma, ex -minis- ter of foreign affairs, in the Japanese diet just after the present war began. It is probably a good summing up of Japanese hopes and feelings: "The European powers are already showing symptoms of decay, and the next century will see their constitutions shat- tered and, their empires in ruins. Even 1f this should not quite happen, their re- sources will have become exhausted in unsuooessful attempts at • colonization. Therefore, who is fit to be their props succeseort if not ourselves? What nation except-Gormany, France, Russia, Austria and Italy can put two hundred thousand mon into the field inside of a month? As to their finance, there is no country where, the disposal of surplus revenues gtves rise to so mnc9 political discussion. "As to intellectual power, the:Japanese mind is in every way equal to the Euro- pean mind. More than this, have not the 'Japanese opened a way to the perfection of a disoovery in which foreigners have not:sucoeeded even after years of labor? Our people astonish even the French, who are the most skilful among artisans, by the cleverness of their work. It be -true the Japanese are small of stature, but the enperiority of the body depends more on its constitution than on its size. If treaty revision were completed, and Japan completely victorious over China, we should become ono of the chiefpowers of the world, and no power could engage in any movement without ffret consult- ing us. Japan oould then enter into oompetitioa with Europe as the represent. sitivo of the oriental mese." HE WANTED.TO LICK ENGLAND. Amusing Interview with An Irishman Which Secretary Gresham Enjoyed. Secretary Gresham usually walks from hip hotel to the state department. The other morning, says the Washington Post, while on his way through Lafayette park he was stopped by a little, whito-haired old Irishman, who doffed his hat, and, holding it in his hand, thus accosted him: "Is this Judge Gresham?" "Put on your hat, my man, or you'll catch the grip,' the socrotary replied. "I am the judge." "Wall, judge," the little old man re- plied, "it's just this way: T have been reading in the papers that wo stood a good chance to have a war with England. I have boon waiting for snob a chance to get in a few licks for the, old country ever eines) I left St. Patrick's blessed land. Sure, lied I hope you are not going to take it away from me. " And so you want to go to war?" the secretary asked. "Indeed I do, if England's the spalpcen to be licked, though T know I would be killed. But when I came back, judge, sure I would vote for you for president-' "Well," said Secretary Gresham, re- straining a ensile, "send your address to the state department, and 1f we have war I'll notify you in time to get ready."

She appreciates the importanoe of dress- ing her nook becomingly and is, there- fore, giving the subject much thought. The shops are helping her to solve the problem with the array of dainty nook adornments they are now displaying. , The Rower boa is, perhaps, the latest novelty, It is made of flowers which seem almost fragrant in their natural- ness. The boa of sweet peas is an exq iss- ite fancy. The sweet pea blossoms aro in varying shades of pinkish white and vio- let. They are fastened to a foundation of periwinkle satin ribbon, whioh le ar- ranged at the side in dashing loops to give a stook effect. • Flower boas of butteroups mounted on black ribbon are effective worn with a blank gown and a little toque of black velvet and buttercups to match. The boa of mignonette, with knots of baby blue velvet here and there and fastened in front with a big blue velvet bow, is an- other novelty. High plaltipgs of ribbon caught with clusters of tiny flowers make a fetching boa to wear with a spring gown. A ruche of lace oombined with floweret is another new fancy. Full-blown roses and poppies aro the flowers most used for these boas. Many of the new boas have the stole effect whioh is generally produc- ed by jeweled ribbon, or sometimes two fluffy scarfs of chiffon fall well over the gown. With these pretty caprices a woman can make the plainest crook presentable, and enliven a morning costume so that it could never be told from one espeolally devised for the theatre or other occasions of ceremony.
