A change in American hotel life is evident
in the restricted space about the office in
the new " Waldorf" in New York in the
contracted halls and passages, and in short,
the absence of that unnamed and un-

done away with, and guests are supposed to
invite their friends into smoking -room, or

Another and a similar change is seen in bile

Mr. A. R. Kenyon is the fortunate
owner of a comfortable house, 'well kept and

Chicago avenue Savanna, Ill., and it was
there the reporter sought him to kern of
the eielenese of his wife, and the cure of
which se much is being said. In answer to
the bell a lady appeared at the door, and to
an enquiry for Mr. Kenyon laid he was em-
ployed by the railway conapsely, worked at
nights and was asleep. "Is Mrs. Kenyon
well enough to see me ?" the reporter then
asked. With a very suggestive smile she
mid : "There 15 no (Mobil of it," and invit-
ing thEareporter in, informed him that she
was the lady in question. When told
the reporter's miseion she said The
statement of nets as you have made it is
quite true. I did not think my case
was of special interest to anyone outside
of my own family and friends, but if what
information I oan give you will be of use to
auyone else you are welcome to it. I owe
my present good health to a casual glance
at a newspaper, and as with me sante other
woman may be fortunate." Mrs. Keynon
is an intelligent lady -like woman' and her
home bears evidence of her greatcapabili-
ties as a house -wife. She told her story as
follows: •
" I was born in Warren County, New
York, thirty-three years ago. I was married
when I was 19, and came to Savanna seven
years ago. With the exception of being at
times subject th violent sick headache, I
considered myself a healthy woman up to
five years ago. At that time I was very
much run down ancl an easy prey to the
ever-present malaria in and aboub the
Miesissippi bottom lands. I was taken
violently ill, and during the suomedingfive
or six months was the greater part of the
time helpless. The local physicians said I
had been affected by malaria and inter-
mittent fevers. I continually grew weaker
and finally went to see Dr. AlcAvey, of
Clinton Ia., who is reputed to be one of
the ablest physicians in the Mississippi
Valley. He treated me for a time without
beneficial effects, and finally told me he
thought he could help me if I would abso-
lutely abstain from work. That was not to
be thought of. If able to go about I had to
look after my household duties. I then
consulted Dr. Johnston, of Savanna. My
stomach would not retain the medicine he
gave me and hes:mete the oonclusionthatmy
stomach was badly diseased. Occasionallyi
would choke down and nearly suffocate.
I then went to Dr. Maloney and he pro-
nounced it a case of heart trouble He
helped rne temporarily, but like the rest
said I must atop all work or nothing could
be done for me. All this time I had growls
weaker and paler until I was in a deplor-
able condition. I had a continual feeling of
tiredness, my muscular power was nearly
gone, and I could not go up half -a -dozen
steps without resting, and often that much
exercise would cause me to have a terrible
painin the side. Seemingly the blood had
left my veins. I was pale as death ; my lips
were blue and cold and I had given up all hope
of ever being bebter. About the first of
April last a young man boarding with us
received a Fulton' Ill., paper. It was his
home paper senthim by his mother. I
picked it up one day, and in glancing caste -
any over its columns came across an account
of a marvellous cure through the use ef Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Can-
• didly, I did not believe the story, and when
my husband suggested that it would do no
harm for me to try the pills, I laughed at
the idea. He insisted and I submitted, but
I had no faith whatever in the pills. My
husband sent for two boxea and I took
them. When I had used these I was some-
what improved in healbh. I continued
their use and I felt thab I was growing
stronger, my sleep refreshed me and
it mans as if I could feel new
blood coursing through my • veins.
I • kept on taking Pink Pills
until a short time ago and I now coneider
myself a healthy, rugged woman. • My
house is full of boarders and I superintend
• all tbe work. In other words'I work all
the time and am happy all thetime. I am
positive that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People saved my life, and I believe
there are thousands of women who would
find great relief if they used them. The
sick headaches I was subject to have, dim
appeared, and have not had a mingle attack
since I commenced taking Dr. Williams'
Pink Pille."
" Were there any disagreeable effects
from the medicine? " asked the reporter.
'None whatever," replied Mrs. Kenyon.
"They are pleamento take, and the condi-
tions inosed by the directions are easily
compliedwith. In common parlance, I
took Pink Pills and they did the rest."
Mrs. Kenyon stated that all her neighbors
knew of her former condition and her
restoration, and one of them was called in,
and when asked of her knowledge of the
oaae field "1 have have been intimetely
acquainted with Mrs. Kenyon and know of
her illness. I look upon her recovery as
something marvellous. It is surely the
unexpected that happened in her case. Oi
my own knowledge I cannot say what tile
nature of her isilmenb was, but I
know that she was reduced to
a mere shadow ; was the palest
and roost ghostlike person I had
ever mese Hera wail a remarkable ease.
She would be helpless one day atilt the next
would be supervising the work of her house,
but all bhe tune there would be a noticeable
loss of strength and the natural vivacious -
/iota of her nature had disappeared. It was
generally thought that she must die as none
of the physic:Mee who attended her seemed
to onclerstand her cam or help her in the
heat. I was told of the sending for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and of oourse thought
it the whim of a dying woman, or perhaps a
elms then her huebend still insisted in hop,
ing age:hest hope. But you can see the no
wale ior youreelf, and if whatnot are not

It 'fuss been suggested that Congress

unusual proceeding, but unless something

The English Language.
It is said that the strongeet opposition to
the general spread of the Eoglisle language,
which is rapidly forcing its way to recog-
nition as the universal tongue of the world,
is found on English soil. Not long ago the
Legislative Assembly of Jemmy reputed by
an overwhelming vote a propoaition to perMit
the use ot English in the Assembly, at the
option of a member. This action, of course,
affirms the prheeiple that Wench is the
official language. The country parishes are
remolutely opposed to the introduction of
English, although 11 has made great pro-
gress in the towns of late years, and it is
said many of the deputies are now unable
to express themselves correctly in French.
Mr. Gladstone's Governmient has been asked
by several Welsh members of Parliament,
at the instance of a large body of Welshmen,
to make the teaching of Welsh in the public
sohools of Wales obhgatory. It has always
been taught in the Non -Conformist Sunday -
schools. The number of Irish people who
do nob speak English at all is still consider-
able and in &aloud it Is not smaill.—/Vem

IThe Average Girl's Husband.
But what rubbish is all this talk of "best
possible husbands 1" A girl takes the man
who offers, 11 10 appall to be uprighn hon -
arable and in anneal& 11 she does not, she
runs & risk of going to seed, with a red nose,
a canary bird and a lap dog. The chief
trouble with her is not to know whether she
has got the besb article in the market, but
whether the man who says he laves her,
means what he says. It is easy for a man
to acquire the art of love -making, and, with
a little practice, some men can do it quite
skilfully. How to know when they are
acieng, and when they are obeying an irre-
sistible and ungovernable impulse is the
thing a girl wants to be able to determine.—

• The Animals of Great Britain.
Few people have any iden of the linmense
animal population of Great Britain. Accord-
ing to the lasb return of the Board of Trade
there were in the United Kingdom nearly
2,000,000 horses about 10,000,000 cattle,
more than M2,000,000 sheep and something
like 4,000,000 pigs. Aa regards the first
item, this was the number used by agricul-
turists alone. The number of horses used
for carriage purposes in towns, regarding
which we have no particulars must be
enormous. • The value of this property is
estimated at about £250,000O00.

We all know how some women after a
year or two of married life gen careless
about their dress, says the Boanzng World.
They seem to think that their fortune is
made and it isn't necessary to arrange the
hair becomingly or pat on a pretty house
gown justi for their husbands. This is all
wrong and it is an error that arises from
laiziness. Men /Ike to see their wives look
pretty just as much as they did when they
were sweethearts. Take a woman's advice
and if you can'thave but ormattractive gown,
let that one be the one to wear indoors.
Aim to have daintily arranged hair and a
neat and sirople costume for breakfast. Go
in largely for laces. A man is very fond of
frills, bits of white about the neck and
writ always appeal strongly to him. Have
well -fitting shoes or slippers as the ease may
be, and in fiset aim to make yourself, just
au winsome after the fish is lauded as when
yon were not SO sure of him.
