A SKEPTIC CONVINCED ..fgE HAD NO FAITH IN ANY ADVERTISED MEDICINE ATTACKED WITH A BAD COLD, HIS TROUBLE WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE UNTIL HE WAS THREATENED WITH LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA—THEN DR. WILL- IAMS' PINK PILLS CURE D AFTER OTHER MEDECINES HAD FAILED. From the Yarmouth, N. 5., Timm The remarkable cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have long been a , matter of newspaper notoriety, and many of them—well described as mira- cles—have been in our own province, ...4:, but we believe so far none have been published from Yarmouth. A Times representative enquired in aquarter 17.•;, , where such matters would likely be l..,P known, and learned that there were t',7.. several re rkable cases of restoration to healt ectly traceable to Dr.;Will- ; lavas'. Pink ills, light in our midst. r'zq Clarions to ascertain the facts in relation thereto, ;our representative called on Mr. (Magi/a E.

"Yes," he said," there can be no pos- sible doubt of the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in my case, and I will be pleased if the publication of the facts help some other sufferer back to health. I caught cold, was careless 'and canght more cold. The first thing klpw I was seriously ill. I could not Walk. All strength seemed to have left my legs and the weakness increas- ed. Frojp being obliged to remain in ...the hong.** I became obliged to remain in bed, but still, supposed it was a very bad cold. I became so helpless I could not move in bed without help. I had good attendance and the best of care and nursing, but as week succeeded . • week 1 seemed to, grow worse instead of better, till I was worn to a mere • shadow and began to care very little if :1 I ever recovned. A hint that 1 was threatened with something called ataxia reminded a friend that my case „seemed similar. to some of those de- ' scribed in the Times, whieh had been cured -by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and this first drew attention to them as a possible aid to me. I admit that I was skeptical—very skeptical—lhere are so dmany medicines being advertised just now, and I was never much of it believer in them. Well, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were purchased and I took them, as I suppose I would have taken any- , ; thing- else, simply as the routine of a sick roorn. The first box seemed to show little effect, and by the time I had got through with the third box . there could be no doubt my condition showed a Marked improvement. and I was correspondingly encouraged. The pills were continued and I became rfipidly better, so that I was able to Sit up and go about the house, and Occasionally go out if the weather was fine.

A BRAHMIN 'TRAVELLER.. HeNlr He Wee *Welt While a arother of the rtotters Perished. Hrahmin traveling between Chit- -.ter and N6mara was belated la the road, and asit'04 for shelter for the night at a house where he was re- ceived by two Nair women, He en- trusted to the ,elder sister a thousand rupee p for safe keeping, Vats 'wised her cupidity and induced her to Pro- pose to her younger sister to make way with their unsuspecting guest and Packet the motley. he latter, how- ever, stoutly refused to take part in the crime. Later in the night the hus- band of the elder woman arrived on the scene, when he readily fell in with the proposal of his wife. In the meanwhile the younger wo- man, determined to avert the murder, roused her ususpecting guest, who was sleeping in a veranda, warned him of his danger and locked him up in a cullum attached to the house. The brother of the two women returned to- ward midnight, and fatigued with his .journey, seeing the house shut, quietly lay down and slept on the mat vacated by the Brahmin. Soon after the would-be murderers, utterly unconscious of the change made in the occupant of the mat, settled the sleeper with one blow of the rice pounder and buried the corpse in the dark without knowing of their fatal mistake, and effacing all the traces of the blood that was spilt, retired to their guilty repose. In the morning the Brahmin was released by his fair rescuer. And words cannot describe the surprise and horror that overcome the murderers when their supposed victim appeared before them and demanded the money. Dumb with horror they restored it to the Brahmin, who gave information to the police of his intended murder. While police Inquiry was in progress it transpired that the brother of these women had mysteriously disappeared. The police accordingly,. made a vigor• ous search and unearthed the corpse of the deceased, and found some traces of bloodstains at the doorstep, which had. not been wholly removed. he police have accordingly arrested the culprits, and the matter is under investigation. To conclude the inter- est of the narrative, we have only to add that these revelations have im- pressed the Brahmin with a due sense of the extent of the danger he had escaped, and the magnitude of the ser- vice rendered to him by his rescuer. He, therefore, made her a present of the thousand rupees which was the original incentive to :the crime on the part of the murderers.—Cochin Argue: His Fallen State.

Up in East Thompson, Ct., a place made famous, or rather notorious, by the suspected murder by "Jerry" Storzkinzie of his wife and stepson last January, is a curious house, which dif- fers from the ordinary in being covered on the outside with white paper in- stead of clapboards or shingles. The building is, aside from its pe- culiarity, of a type seen anywhere. It stands on a road crossing the New England railroad just beyond the de- pot, and on the left side of the track, going away from Providence. It is of two stories, without gable or projec- tion of any kind, and is occupied by tenements on both upper and lower floors. The state of the shingles, which are black with the rains and snowsof several winters, shows that the house has been built for a considerable num- ber of years. It never had any Wooden covering outside of the sheeting nailed on by the carpenters, and is, for all that, a warm house. This sheating was for tne most part of boards closely match- ed, although here and there cracks can be seen where the edges of the boards have failed to meet and the pa- per has bu'ged in. Over these boards the paper, which looks like the ordin- ary newspaper, was pasted so tightly that all the storms of years have fail- ed to do more than wrinkle it in some places, while under the eaves it is commencing to peel. Several layers of paper were put on, giving the house a curious appearance en the outside, but effectually keeping out the wind and cold, newspapers be- ing, as is well-known, excellent for warmth. From a distance, the house looks as if painted a light gray, the paper having become weather beaten. On a nearer approach the wrinkles In the paper show clearly the nature of the covering. The idea is a novel one. but the owner can, after all, truthfully say that he has a wooden covering on his house, for newspaper is made .of wood pulp.—Providence Journal. Trouble From Leek of Thought. "You would be surprised at the fre- quent unnecesary accounts of missing persons that we are compelled to reg- ister," said Detective Allmendinger. "If a woman misses her child for a few minutes, without taking the trouble to look around the neighborhood for It, she rushes up here td me and registers the ease. We no sooner have It tele. graphed throughout the city than she returns and says the little one was in a neighbor's hi:Woe, or mikes some sim- ilar statefment. They little realize the trouble we are put to, for we have to send word throughout the city that the lost one is found."—Philadelphia Call. THE NEWEST SMOKELESS POWD ested by the 8W400 Oovormaeat Show • Yat* rravevnei. • Cone e; the latest additions to the lkd of smokeless powders has been adapt- ed by tl.e Swiss GOvernment after long competition trials with other varleites, owing to it "combining in the highest degree the good balliatio qualltiee of the nitro-glycerine pewders, with the stability and saaety of its own gun- eOttan class." This powder claims ad- vautages specially on the fact that it contains no nitru-glycerine, and conse- quently causes less erosion in the bore of a. gun, and is more stable and safe. The main characteristics of the pow- der may be considered under the three heads of (1) ballistic qualsties, (2) ef- fect on barrel, (3) stability and safety. Trials as to ballistic qualities were made in Switzeriaxid,Sweden and Eng- land, and are stated to have beeI1 very satisfaetory. Those on effes.t on bar- rel were conducted in Switzerland; and in the course of them 40,000 rounds were tired from a sinall-am rifle and 800 from a steel field gun, without causing the least injury. Trials as to stability and safety were mads in Switzerland and In Sweden. The pow- der stood well under moistute tests, and when exposed to heat, whish was severe and prolonged, 176 degrees Fah- renheit being the highest temperature, while 140 degrees was applied for eight hours during the six days. and 1f.2 de- grees for a continued period of 192 hours. When iodine zinc starch paper was employed as a reagent, nu - tion occurred within thirty minutes. The powder is practically fismeless, being much less visible than nitro- glycerine powder when fired in dull weather or in the dusk or dark, and no ignition gases are generat .d. It is claimed that a given result can- he pro- duced by a charge of from 1) to 20 per cent. less weight than most other cotton powders. AN ECONOMY OF POWER. Combining a City's Water and Electric Light Supply. A Chicago engineer, Professor John P. Barret, has originated a plan for combining- the electric lighting and water supply systems of that city so as to gain a great economy of power. The electric light plants require the use of dynamos for lighting purposes during those hours when there is the least demand for water. At night the great manufacturing plants are shut down land make but slight demands on the water mains. In summer tne demand for water is almost doubled, and during the same months less is required of a dynamo for lighting pur- poses. In the heated season it is not' necessary to turn on the current for street lighting until after all lawns are sprinkled and the 10,000 steam plants of Chicago have ceased drawing water from the mains. In the winter months there is not so much trouble with the water supply, and less is required to make up the deficit of pressure. Pro- fessor Barret proposes to connect the great dynamos in the four electric light plants belohging to the city with electric motors, which will furnish power to such" minor pumping stations as the water department may decide to establish. For the operation of the smaller pumping or reinforcement sta- tions he proposes two plans: The first is to operate with a pump directly on the mains with what may be termed a "run-around." The pump would then create a suction from the direc- tion of the main pumping station and exert a force in the other and opposite direction. The second plan Is to erect a wtaer-tower, pump the water through the pipes from the direction of the tunnel and force it into the tower. The dynamos could be connected with a float In the tower which would operate a governor or regulator, by means of which the height of the water would regulate the speed and capacity of the pump. In this way the system would be automatic and self-regulating.— New York Evening Post. 'Splicing a l'ovrer Belt. The cement splice is, according to a writer in the Wood Worker, the most perfectly satisfactory method of join- ing together the ends of a belt. In leather belting such a splice is com- paratively easy to make, as the ends of the belt may be scarfed to a thin edge with an ordinary iron bench plane, but before rubber belts can be thus treated, it is necessary to cut them down in steps or sections; a four -ply belt may have three sections, one thickness of the canvas being cut back several inches, another thickness cut back two-thirds of the distance, a third thickness cut back one-third of the distance, while a thickness of canvas is left untouched at the bottom—the other end of the belt being 'treated in the same manner, so that when the ends are brought together, the sections left on one end will replace those cut on the other end of the belt . To ob- tain the best results it is recommended that the belt be put into a press after the operations of cementing, but, in the absence of that tool, the belt may be laid flat upon a board and fastened by driving a number of shoe pegs throught the belt into the board, allow- ing It to remain thus until the cement has set, and then closely cutting off the pegs. Jottings of Science. The search for petroleum in India has been singularly unprofitable, most of the sources being too small in yield to pay for working, while the richer deposits are for the present too far removed from the means of transport to be commercially valuable except in Burmah. An interesting scientific mission hag recently arrived at Odessa. It con- sists of Baboo Amba Hamman Pras- ad and five Sepoy assistants. from the Indian survey department.

Bitter 6ni-Aibteise4ppt Valley rteeiere Prescribe Dikes. but They Protest With Vigor Against Mocanere-A Rather Curious Chicago Ineldeat. A Detroit correspondent telegraphs: The junior medical organization of the United States, Isnown as the Mis- sissippi Valley Medical Associations to -day (Sept. 6), placed the seal of its approval on bicycle riding for men and women, but condemned bloomers. Dr. L N. Love of St. Louis, in a paper, the subject of which was "The Bicycle from a Medical Standpoint," tild how he had investigated the sub- ject thoroughly and arrived at the conclusion that the bicycle was the greatest thing known for exercise when properly used. Concerning the bloomers, he said : 'Let us proteest against it. It is a blot on the landscape. It is inartistic, disgusting and revolting." The other doctors approved his re- marks. The women doctors of the convention heartily thanked him and coincided with him and gave applause to hls statement that any woman in bloomers should be arreested. 'PHONE GIRLS IN BLOOMERS. Ordered not to Wear Them, but They Will not Obey. This comes from Chicago: An edict recently issued by the Chicago Tele- phone Company has been conspicuous- ly bulletined at headquarters, the ren- dezvous of 199 "hello" girls, and bears the official signature of the general manager. It reads: Operators will not be permitted to report at this building at any hour of the day or night in bloomer costume, nor to assume that attire before de- parture for home. "We still wear bloomers under the skirt," quietly said Miss'Edith Brandt, one of the leaders of the innovation. "Skirts are a nuisance, anyway," she added. "If there were no order against bloomers, I really do not see why they should not be worn in the operat- ing room." BIKE AND BLOOMERS. Here is a French bicycle joke: One of the Paris papers gives an account of a funeral a la bicycle, and, after describing the coffin, clergyman,choh' and—mourners, all on wheels, they call it a veritable fin de cycle !—Boston Herald. Along old ocean's shifting sands, 'Neath summer's silvery moons, Beskirted gallants squeeze the hands Of girls in pantaloons. —New York Recorderr. "When Maisie rides her bicycle in bloomers, does she seem shy ?" "No; but you ought to see the horses she meets !"—Browning, King & Co.'s Monthly. A bicyclist chased by a Chinese mob does not speak slightingly of a cycle in Cathay.—Boston Transcript. "Why's a bike like a woman ?" The Merry Idiot cried. "Because it's so hard to learn," The jilted man replied. "Because sometimes it's very fast," The cynic murmured low; "Because," the cynic rash declared, "It's always on the go." "Because it runs right through the dust," A husband sadly vowed; "Oh ! because it's fascinating !" The bloomer girl allowed. Then loud laughed the Merry Idiot, "My reason crowns the cup ! Because it very often needs A right good blowing up !" Kate M. Cleary, in Puck. Woman's first duty to man is to be beautiful. If she insists upon the rights she can be as ugly as she pleases to be, and wear the dizziest style of bloomers.—New Orleans Pi- cayune. Women are more seemly riders than most men, but perhaps the germ of the new costume is to be found in the dress of the little girls who ride grace- fully and modestly with skirts that hardly reach below the knee, and are so modest that no one remarks that it is not fitting. The skirt is indispen- sible, but must be short, and the bloomers are not graceful. The mail- iste who can invent just what is fit- ting will find a fortune at her hands. —Boston Herald. She rode her wheel With active zeal, Although there were many rumors That she was mad Because she had No creases in her bloomers. —Detroit Free Press, Life -Saving Sleeves. A new use has been found for bal- loon sleeves, through the ingenuity of an enterprising inventor, which promises great results. The "bustle" inside the sleeves has up to date been adopted somewhat warily, as hardly filling a long -felt want. But now a silk life -preserver is to take its place, which can be in- flated at will, and enables the wearer to float In perfect ease on the water. Sailing parties, made up largely of ladies, will leave the man at the helm very much at ease, with each female member . of the company transformed into an animated life -preserver; for if one moves carelessly on the deck and gets blown overboard there is no dan- ger of a tragedy. The balloons will also add no little to the sail area in fair winds. The life-saving sleeve will doubtless prove a big thing, and an that ft is puffed up to be. A Distinction.
