PILLS AGAIN P1aOVE A 1f J E SAVER. rive the Ottawa nes Press. A personal paragraph in the Free Press some time ago simply stating that Miss Sophie Belanger, 428 Cooper street, Ottawa, had recovered from a serious illness caused by anmmia and general debility, has apparently awak- ened more than usual interest' and pleasure among her relatives and ac- quaintances. So much. so, indeed, that a reporter of the paper found it -extremely interesting ; to visit the .fauaily and enjoy a chat with Mrs. el nger oil the recovery of her daugh- er she had for two years been considered irrecoverably a victim of this terribly enervating and dangerous disease. Mrs. Belanger is a very in- telligent French-Canadian, wife of Mr. Joseph Belanger, whose wall paper and paint and glass establishment is at 146 Bank street. Miss Sophie Belang- er; the *bikini invalid, vascillating hc- ,.tween death and life, is a promising young lady of seventeen years. She is She lay on a couck, like one ddinp. a student under the nuns in Sb. Jean Baptiste school on Primrose Hill. Over two years ago she fell sick and rapidly wasted away. The nature of her disease appeared to be a profound mystery-kt�y,tthe physicians as they were called in a after the other. Despair seized the family as they looked upon the once beautiful, spirited girl, laying day in and day out, weeks and months on her couch, simply slowly vanishing and they powerless even to raise a smile to her wan lips. Each succeed- ing medical man gravely told the�� How- ever, to prepare for the worst. ow - ever, Mrs. Belanger is not one of those women who give up in despair while there is still hope, as her own words will dente. "It was a terrible time," she said. "We had been told again and again that .nothing could be done to save Sophie, and had almost been forced by appearances to believe it. I have now to say that hut for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills she would have been in her grave instead of attending school every day the liveliest of the lively. It began like this; the poor girl was cowing to me three or four tinies a day exclaim- ing, "Oh, ma; I have such a terrible headache. 1 cannot stand the pain of it." This went on for a long time, weeks in fact, until we began to look at it in a very serious light.. We had almost every French doctor in the city called in, but with no result. Sophie got worse and worse. Iter face was small and yellow while her.lips were as white as your collar. She was listless and apar.hetic and so weak she could not raise her hand to her head. A leading doctor forced her to take a cer- tain kind of powders, which seemed to be taking the flesh from her bones. Her skin became hot and parched, her eyes sa into her head and she lay on that h as one dead, taking no in- t tever in things going on ar Then it was we became con o the popular belief that she was ing to die. It was agonizing to look at her, but we became partially resigned to the fate that appeared to he overtaking us. She was watched day and night, but we could detect no change unless for the worse. All hope had gone. 1 had read of the cures by the use of Drs. Williams' Pink Pills, and about this time 1 noticed a des- cription published in the Free Press somewhat similar to Sophie's case. Something seemed to urge. are to give them a trial, and now I thank God I clid. I sent fur some and began giving them to her one at a time. Before long we saw an improvement, and gradually increased the dose from one to two and then to three at regular in- tervals. It was incredible to note the change. Her coeur came hack, adiffer- ent look in her eyes, her general health and appearance gave us all new inter- ' ' est in her. Before the fourth box was gone Sophie • was able to be up and around again, and a further use of them;,fully restored her health, or rath- er snatched her from the brink of the grave. To Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is due all the credit for we had stopped doctor's medicine, and simply gave her these, following the directions around the box. My daughter's life was saved by Pink Pilis and no one knows better than her another. I wish to tell every- one of the cure, as it is almost impossi- ble to believe that the poor thing that lay there, and the happy rosy-cheeked girl who goes regularly to her classes are one and the saute person in such a utaryelously short space of time, and you1Siimay he sure I ant advis;n r ailing neighbors to use this wonderful medi- cine." Just as the reporter was leaving Miss Belanger returned from school. She was the picture of grace, health and •beauty, her lithe physique denoting health in every movement,' while her face showed the warm, ruddy glow of health. She corroborated all her mother had said besides adding some new testimony. Ilappine s now chid- eth in that home where misery held sway too long, and Mrs. Belanger rests her faith in Dr. Williams' Piuk fills, which will do for other weak and ail- ing girls what they did for her daugh- ter. FINE POINTS OF OIO•YOI E$. Odti rafts Aboat the Vorlou. 0rade4 Of Wheels Which the Novice 1p not Apt to Consider. The makers of bicycles, lilte sheep, are all following the lines laid down by the first safety propelled by pedals, the changes and improvements since that time having been in detail only, Those who attended the 1895 cycle Show at Madison Square Garden, it le .quite safe to say, saw the so1ence of wheel - making practically pert,ected and the three grades of manufacture established —high, medium and low. So far this year the medium -grade wheels have sold the best, chiefly owing to the slight difference In price between them and the high grade and because there is nothing in their outward appearance to indicate the grade to any one but the bicycle connoisseur. , Fine enamel and good nickel -plating covers a multi- tude of sins. This year there are no less than fif- teen "points" to be considered in pur- chasing a wheel, and they may be num- erated as follow : 1, thread ; 2, tubing; 3. frame ; 4, chain; 5, gear; 6, sprockets; 7, tires; 8, spokes; 9, rims; 10, bearings; 11, wheelbase; 12, crown; 13, handle bars 14, weight; 15, pedals. The first and the twelfth are practically the only strictly new ones this year. The tread—that is, the distance the pedals are apart crosswise—should not exceed five and one-half inches, for it has been found that greater speed can be maintained when the feet are revolving closer to- gether. This principle was introduced on racing wheels last year with great success, and it is now to be found on all roadsters. The crown Is located where the two forks extending down to the hub of the front wheel are fastened to the bottom of the steering post. Some very se- vere strains fall on this point, and this year's improvement consists of a double cross -piece through which the steering post runs. This year's wh-e-Base is about forty-flve inches. With the wheels this distance apart a great deal of jolting occasioned by rough roads is unnoticed. In short, the features of your wheel this year should be as follows :.Four to five and one-half inch tread, seamless steel tubing, reinforcing at the joints and giving forth a healthy ring when struck with a lead pencil, high frame, solid block steel chain, narrow pattern, gear optional according to roads intend- ed to be ridden ; straight, round sprock- et, elliptical and dished sprockets, not being a success as made last year ; sin- gle tube tires, tangent spokes, wood rims of second growth ash, tool -steel bearings with large balls, forty -five - inch wheel base, dropped handle bars, not more than eighteen inches apart; weigl:',lt ,not more than twenty-three or less than seventeen pounds. This is about what you should find on a strict- ly high-grade wheel. The tire question is perhaps the hard- est of all, but one thing Is certain. The tire should be either single tube or else have an inner air tube that is not et:dless, in order that a smooth mo- tion of the wheel may be insured. Strange as it may seem, the air, when confined in a tube having two ends, is forced at each revolution of the wheel to one of these ends and becomes prac- tically a lump, as though the tire were filled with a liquid. On a smooth road, this lump is particularly noticeable and decidedly disagreeable. MUCH LIKE A MAN. A Valuabio Specimen Recently Acquired by the Liepslc Zoo. An exceedingly characteristic speci- men of a chimpanzee has recently been acquired by the Leipsic Zoo. The ani- mal painter Schuessler had occasion to watch the chimpanzee without being seen himself, and the result is shown in the excellent expression of the ani - mars face. The profile of this ape was CHIMPANZEE AT THE I.IEPSIC Zoo. taken immediately after he had eaten an orange, and the satisfaction is ex- pressed in the pleasure with which the ape licks its lips. The lines of the pro- file are strong, the eyes are set deep, 'bat the eyebrows, eyelashes and side - whiskers are sharply defined. The ears are very large and set higher than in man. When first brought into his new quarters the chimpanzee spent most of his time near e the topof the upon cage u on an artificial tree, where he could watch the trees outside. It was an easy mat- tcr to call him down, and the offer of a banana or an orange will now bring him clown scampering. His eyes are large, dark brown, and have an intelli- gent and kind expression. The chim- panzee has an excellent appetite in spite of his long confinement In an exceed- ingly small cage aboard the steamer that brought him from Loango, and it is believed he will stand the climate w•e11. A Touching Story. Miss Ume Tsuda, head of the English department in the Peeresses' School, Tokio, Japan, tells the Independent a touching story of the aged mother of Sa.kamoto, commander of the warship Akagi, who was killed in the thickest of the fight during the great naval vic- tory of the Yellow Sea. Commpnder Sakamoto left an aged mother, a wife and three young children. As soon tss his death was officially ascertained, a messenger was dispatched from the naval department to convey the sad tidings to the family. The communi- cation was made duly to the wife, and before the messenger had left the house it had reached the ears of the old mother, who, tottering into the room where the officer was awaiting, saluted and greeted him duly, and then, with dry eyes and clear voice, said; "So it seems by your tidings that my son has been of some service this time."— New Ybrk Tribune.

AS HARD AS THE DIAMOND. Such Are Two Products of Chemical Ex - poi -Intents. The diamond has always been re- garded'as possessing one quality which p1 ced it beyond rivalry, namely that of hardness. There are several gems which compete with at In beauty, and at least one, the ruby, when of rare size and quality, outranks it In costli- ness. But none in the whole list equals It in hardness. "Diamond cut diamond" has Lecome a popular saying. The hardest steel cannot equal the diamond In that re- spect. The diamond, says a recent and authoritative text book of chemistry, "is the hardest form of matter known." But science progresses, and if nature has set aside for her king of gems the dletlnction of unparalleled hardness, the art of man has nit b;en equally considerate. There are at least two products of chemical experiment which have proved, according to the great French chemist, Henry Moissan, to be ea hard as diamonds. These are produced from the rare metal titanium. Monsieur Molssan has Succeeded in preparing titanium In the electric furnace. In the pure form It is harder than steel or quartz, and when combined with sill on or boron, so as to form a silicide or boritle of titanium, it matches the diamond itself in hardness. Titanium resemt Ies tin in its chem• leaf properties, and it is the character- istic element In the beautiful red and brown crystals of rutile. These, in the shape of needles, are sometimes found penetrating large white quartz crystals, forming gems that the French call "love's arrow." HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Turnips boiled like bets, with their jackets on, are better flavor and less watery. A smal bit of sugar added while the vegetable is boiling corrects the bitterness often found in them. To clean knifes without spoiling the handles, use a good-sized piece of cork, which can be manipulated on the knife, and in a little while it will give all the brightness and cleanliness desired. Do not spoil the effects of a nicely served dinner by offering a weak, thick or cold coffee. Last impressions should be good, so, when you serve the coffee let it be hot, clear and of good strength, and leave plenty of room in the cups to add cream or milk, as is desired, and see to it that the latter is also hot. If a last spring hat saw a little wear and can be made into a smart shape (which is easy to do, considering how every low -crowned shape is worn), then fix it over. Wipe the straw off thor- oughly with a damp cloth dipped in kerosine, noticing carefully that each particle of dust is removed. Place an- other damp cloth over it, and press it lightly with a hot iron. At the towel counters in the large shops are now sold scrub cloths ofloose- ly woven hemp, excellent for mattings and oilcloths. Cotton dust cloths of yellow cotton flannel are also purchas- able nowadays, These are better even than the much -valued chamois skin, which they considerably resemble. An admirable dust cloth 13 one of the large gray squares of banana cloth, which a few of the largest shops keep for occa- sional purchase by a dusky "aunty" or "marm" who still uses the plantation headdress. The best kind of a laundry apron is made of rubber cloth or of blue or brown denim. The former is to be pre- ferred, because it protects the dress the best against a wetting. Some one sug- gested a desirable out-of-door wrap for the houseworker not long ago, to be made large and loose in jacket shape with very big sleeves and a hood at- tached. This can be slipped over the dress when there are windows to wash, clothes to be hung on the line or any out-of-door service to be done in cold or chilly weather. Blocks of ,Milk. Irkutsk Is a city in Central Siberia, where people have more occasion for fro and furs than for artificial ice cream or thin clothing. The markets of Irkutsk are an inter- esting sight In the winter time, for everything on sale is frozen solid. ;Fish are piled up in stacks like so much cordwood, and meat likewise. All kinds of fowl are similarly frozen and piled u p. Some animals brought into the mar- ket whole are propped up on their legs and have the appearance of being act- ually ailve, as you would go through the markets you seem to be surrcfunded by liv'ng pigs, sheep, oxen and fowls standing up and watching you, as though you were a visitor to the barn- yard. But, stranger still, even the liquids are frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk is frozen into a block in' this way, with a string or a stick frozen into or projecting from it. This is for the con- venience of the purchaser, who can take his milk.by the string or stick and carry it home swung across his shoulders. So in a double sense, such as is un- known in other countries, a man can buy his drink "with a stick in 1t." Hydrogen Liquified._ At last hydrogen is liquefied.
