A full belief only comes after 4 careful Investigation, and after positive proofs have been presented. Current re- port said there had been is remarkable cure in the caws of a lady of Savanna, Ill., bat, as current report is not always accurate, and as the story told Was one posseseing deep iuterest for the public, the Timm de- termined upon a thorough iuveettgation into the matter. The result of this investi- gation 'moved that not only was the story true, but that the ease was even more re- markable than the public had been given to understand. Mr. A. R. Kenyon is the fortunate owner of a comfortable house, 'well kept and with pleasant antrrounclings, eitueted on 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 performed in thole days I would be pleased bo know how to describe a case of thie kind," At is a remarkable oath.

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.

This action, of course, affirms the prheeiple that Wench is the official language.

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.
