At tho. present time the German,

Was drawn to the perfect quality and

Manchester. .
Sonic very beautiful specimens of
sovereigns and half -sovereigns were
sent up by: a Manchester numismat-

'The matter was then given into
the hands of Sciitland Yard, with
the result tliat Ilenry Harvey was
ioclged a.t the' publie expense. But
his "coin -maker" was -so perfect: that
the aforementioned Continental
Powers all adopted it ; and if Mr.
Harvey had only patented his " hi --
volition instead of working it him-
self, he would now be drawing over
two thousand a year in royalties.
The discovery of thermite has help-

Such an extent that Mr. Drayton,

that it would, when in general use,

Fritz von Schmidt, known to the
European police as "Count 'Ether,"
because he was a scientist who,
when wanted for a burglary,, always
vanished as quiekly as that volatile
spirit.

The hypodermic syringe is at th
,present time one of the most use
' medical instruments, and thousand
of lives are saved annually by it
timely aid: It was first brought hit
notice by the raiding of a "mini
scheo1"-in Paris. The founder an
head of this seminary, where th
'young idea was taught to shoo
prisonwayds, was a certain Th
Chaillou, whose medical genius ha
been lost -to the world by an early
escapadq, =which shut him out from
intercourse with all self-respecting
men.' Du Chaillou sank lowel• and
lower, till he suddenly found himsel
„ .
' reduced to starvation or crime'. 1 -Ie
chose the latter,, and, being clover,
employed the Paris gamins to do the
. dirty work. - Stimulated by the aid
of the hypodermic syringe, they ac-
complished feats which would have
shaken the iron nerve of Kitchener.:
When the school was raided, Du
Cbailld himSelf escaped ;' but dur-
• ing the trial it was ascertained- that
practically all his great coups had
been ; accomplished by boys, who
had been wrought up to a steeliness
of nerve by means of the syringe.
Then the medical world took the
syringe op, ,and perhaps have often
since thanked its practical discover-
er for the tip.
• At the present time sik men are
lying in a Parisian, prison, -waiting
trial for having obtained money
from numerous French, borse-owners,
both in Paris and the. French pro-
• e•viissess under 'false Pretences. Once
) given the idea, their procedure was
simple. They invented a steel imi-

low—Rheuiriatism Can be Per-
manently Cured.
From the Telegraph, Quebec.
Rheumatism is one of the most
common and at the same time one of
the most painful affections from
which humanity suffer. It affects the
joints and muscles; and is character-
ized, even in its simplest form, by a
dull constant pain. While it remains
in the joints and muscles, it is suf-
ficiently painful and distressing, but
as it is liable to attack the vital or-
gans, such as the heart, the disease
becomes a source of danger, and in
inany instances it has proved fatal.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills possess.
qualities for the cure of this disease
which are unequalled by any other
medicine. Mr. Cyrus Lomond, a well
known resident of Stadacona, Que.,
hears testimony to the minderful
'curative powers of these pills. To a
reporter of the Telegraph, he gave
the following story:—'`Until some
three years ago I always en-
joyed the best of health, but, about
that time I was attacked with what
proved from the outset to be a se:-
vere case .of rheumatism, from which
I,suffered great torture. I tried it
number of the supposed. cures for this
disease, ,but none' of them benefited
me. secaned to be constantly grow-
ing worse, so I called in a Physician,
but as his treatment ' did not give
me,gelief, I sought the assistance of
two other doctors, but they also
failed to, help me. My appetite left
rne; my strength gradually- ebbed
away; one of my legs was drawn out
of shape, and I was never free from
pain. was in despair of ever being
well -again, when one day a 'relative
brought me a box of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and urged me to take
them. He seemed to have 'such great
confidence in the pills that I deter-
mined to follow his advice. To -day I
am happy that. I did for with the '
use of less than a' dozen boxes of
these pills _the pain from which I suf-
fered so much is all gone, and I feel

Experience -has proved Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills to DC Without an

restorer. • It is this power of acting
directly on the. blood 'and nerves that
,enables these pills to cure such dis-
eases as rhemnatisM, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, locomotor ataxia, paralysis,
and all the ordinary diseases of the
blood and nerves. These pills are
sold by all dealers in medicine, or
can be had by mail, postpaid, at 50c

MARRIAGES MADE BY ANTS
How the 'Insects Select Husbands
for the Sulu Maidens.
W. L. Baize, a. merchant of Manila,
has recently been travelling • in the
island of Sulu for a month, and tells
of some curious marriage customs
there. Said he last night :
"A most curious custom is to be
fonlynd in that island. It obtains only
among some of the more savage
tribes of the far interior, called the
Kakkohattchochlra (I won't swear
to the spelling) tribe. These savages
are very primitive people indeed,
and very savage in all their rnang'
ners of life. There are not above
10,000 of this tribe,- and they live
in the mountains of the interior.
The way their young women are giv-
en in marriage is worth going miles
to see. I saw the ceremony last
month, and I shall not soon forget
it.
"When a young woman comes to
the age of 14 she is deemed marri-
ageable. A notice is given out by
,the town,prier that on a certain day
the young woman will be given in
marriage. This day is within• • a
month of the fourteenth birthday of
the lady concerned, and is chosen
by her, .according to ancient custom.
And the choosing of the day, by the
way, is all that the bride has to say
about the marriage. The crier also,
a few days later, calls out the dow-
ry of the bride, and proclaims her
charms aloud in the market place.
So all the population is notified,
and a goodly crowd of admirers ga-
ther to take their chance for the fair
lady. The near relatives of the
bride and the contestants—who have
previously given their names in to
the father of the girl -e -and a crowd
n
of perhaps 100 persos,' if the young
woman is the daughter of a man of
importance,
GATHER TO SEE THE SHOW.
"On the morning of the marriage
the bride is taken out by her maids
and- crowned with lilies, and clad in
white. Then, with much drum -beat-
ing, she is led forth and passes am-
ong the suitors,, and kisses each in
turn. Then she, is. I'vreathed with
more flowers, and is seated to watch
the, fun. .; -
"Now, on that island' of Sulu they
have a kind of ant that puzzles the
scientists, for it has a double set of
-mandibles,, one above and one below
the bead, and both ' entirely inde-
pendent in action. These ants r lay
a leading part in the marriage cere-
mony. The night before the cere-
mony the village priest goes Out -by
the light of the ma
moon and opens n
ant hill with secret rites, and care-
fully' selects some ants, equal in
number to the number of suitors.
These are kept with care.
"After the bride has kissed all the
suitors in turn they go out to the
hut where the ants are kept. • The
priest is there, and he takes an
ant by the body and allows it to
fasten the lower mandible to the
forefinger of the right hand of a
young man. 'These ants are about
an inch and ,a half long and have
the most ferocious bite you can im-
agine. Then each suitor with an ant
hanging to his forefinger, the young
men go back to the presence of the
bride. Then there are long and ela-
borate rites, while the young men
go round and dance before the bride,
each with a monstrous ant
hanging to his finger. Then she is
blindfolded' and the young men are
lined up for the selection.
"The drums are beaten with re-
newed vigor, and the • bride goes a-
long the line of suitors and inserts
her forefinger in the unper masndible
of the ants that hang to the fingers
of the suitors, each in turn. The
first ant that closes his pincer on
the digit of the fair lady wins her
forhe tman to whose . finger it is
hanging. Then the chosen bride-
groom' strikes the ant to the ground
and crashes it with his heel, and in
nomes the priest and marries the
conple. ' Afterward the ants that
have been uSed in the ceremony are
taken out and cooked, and a portion
is given to each guest to be eaten
like the wedding cake in civilized
lands."

Mild in Their Action—Partnelee's Veg.
etable Pills are very mild in their action.
They do not, cause griping in the stomach
or cause distarbances there as so many
pills do. Therefore, the most delicate
can take them without fear of rinpintsant
results. They can, too, be administered
to children without imposing the penal-
ties which follow the' use of pills not so
ca.refully prepared.

went down as well as the load on my

know of in use.
Yours truly,
