A remarkable case.
The following case was printed originally
in The Monitor, a newspaper published at
Meadford, Ontario. Doubts wereraised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified
Mr. Fetch had been a hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wTide at-
tention. He was confined to his bed, was
bloated almost beyond recognition, and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he
Could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life
Association, after a thorough examination,
paid him his total disability claim of $1,650,
regarding him as forever incurable.
For three years he lingered in this condi-
tion. After

liams’ Fink

sensation, until at last the blood began to
course freely and vigorously through his
body. Soon he was restored to his old
time health.
A reporter for The Monitor recently
called on Mr. Fetch again and was told:
“You may say there is no doubt as to my
cure being permanent. I am in better
health than when I gave you the first in-
terview, and certainly attribute my cure
to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
“To these pills I owe my release from the
living death, and 1 shall always bless the
day I was induced to take them.”
Such is the history of one of the most re-
markable cases in modern times. In the
face of such testimony, can anyone say
that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not en-
titled to the careful consideration of every
sufferer—man, woman or child? Is not the
case, in truth, a miracle in modern medi-
cine? '
These pills are sold by all druggists and
are considered by them to be one of the
most valuable remedial agants known to
science.
The outlook for the summer girl of
1898 is gloomy. An exodus of men has
begun. The gold fields of the Klondike
are attracting the adventurous and the
hardy. They go for the sake of gold.
The southeastern coast of the United
States is swarming with soldiers who
are eager to get into Cuba. The sum-
mer girl is left alone. It seems likely
that she will enjoy her ribbons and
laces and pretty draperies in solitude
this year.
The American Navy, Cuba and Hawaii.
A porfolio, in ten parts, sixteen views
in each part, of the finest half-tone
pictures of the American Navy, Cuba
and Hawaii, has just been issued by a
Chicago publishing house.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Rail-
way has made arrangements for a spe-
cial edition for the benefit of its pa-
trons, and a specimen copy can be
seen at the local ticket office. Single
parts may he had at .ten cents each, the
full set, one hundred and sixty pict-
ures, costs but one hollar. Subscrip-
tions for the set may be left with the
agent. In view of the present excite-
ment regarding Cuba these pictures are
very timely. Call at the ticket office

There has just been erected in the
Mount Clare shops of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad at Baltimore a new
high pressure steam boiler for the pur-
pose of testing locomotive boilers un-
der steam pressure. Heretofore a lo-
comotive had to be hauled to the out-
side of the shop, fire built in the fire-
box and steam gotten up in order to
make a test, this method consuming
much valuable time. Under the new
arrangement all this is done while the
engine is standing in the shop, a sys-
tem of steam pipes having been ar-
ranged so that the engines on any
track in the erecting shop can be test-
ed without being removed.

“If we are so civilized,’’ inquires a
lady orator, “why do we want to go

sent that question to Gen, Gomez. It

render.
BACHELORS’ HOMES-
PROTEST FROM A SPINSTER
AGAINST MEN.
Modern Bachelor Household—His Rooms
Are Beautiful, His Servants Contented
and His Domestic System Needs No
Mistress.
That class of philanthropic women
that tears its hair and shrieks for
“more marriages” every few years and
curses first one thing and then another
for decreasing the temptations to dou-
ble blessedness busied itself a good
while railing against men’s clubs as
disorganizes cf domestie.prospeets and
as women’s worst enemies. Now that
women have in self-defense adopted
club life in a measure, the shrieking
sisterhood has contented itself with
growling in an undertone, with now
and then an occasional shrill sound ris-
ing above the monotony, says the
Pittsburg News. Bachelors’ houses
are now conspicuous as targets of scorn
and several advocates of matrimony
for the million are preparing fusilades
against them. And not only are these
railers going to rail loud and long
against the bachelors for setting up
spurious homes, thereby defrauding
women of their proper spheres, but
they are proceeding to denounce those
ladies who aid and abet housekeeping
bachelors by making domesticity easy
for them. Men’s houses nowadays do
not have that disordered, unkempt, or
even that bare and comfortless effect
they used to have. Men’s drawing-
rooms are filled with little things—
some men even have small tables cov-
ered with bits of old silver, potted
plants, cut flowers, lamp shades and
all the amenities proverbially absent
in the good old days from such abodes.
Bachelors’ dinners are served quite as
well as those to which the hosts them-
selves are bidden in houses graced by
wives, mothers, daughters and sisters.
Candelabra, silver filigree dishes filled
with bonbons, even salted almonds,sup-
posed to be of purely feminine provi-
sion—set out their “boards,” which are
spread with neat damask and center-
pieces, embroidered. And worst and
,unkindest indignity of all, bachelors
‘have excellent servants. Horrid, isn’t
it? How dare they? You see that
men are away all day, and so their
cooks' and housemaids have a great
deal of liberty, not only to go out, but
to “entertain.” They have time to
“rest,” too; they probably lie down for
hours in the afternoon, and, indeed,
the morning, for that matter. For it
must be confessed—that men’s houses
are not as scrupulously clean as to
corners and cupboards as their sisters’
in housekeeping are apt to he. While
the Argus-eyed female housekeeper is
grimly 'watching for her handmaid to
see that you “could eat off” the dining
room floor as well as the table, and
superintending the arranging of the
towels and napkins just from the wash,
in neat layers and rubbing her finger on
a polished surface to “catch” dust on
it, the bachelor’s domestic is tripping
downtown, or to her cousin’s, or flirt-
ing with her beau in the kitchen—pos-
sibly in the drawing room or playing
on the piano! Her cleaning is done
with one mighty swoop just before the
genial householders are expected back
in the evening. Things are thrust into
dark nooks then, the beds are hastily
made up, a 'dab is administered here,
a slashing dust raised there, and there
you are, everything cozy and comfort-
able, dinner emitting pleasant odors,
and the busy housemaid looking as if
she had never left the place, nor heard
of anything but cheerful labor in her
life nor wanted to.
Mutilation of the Teeth Among- Savages.
It is curious to what an extent the
mutilation of teeth goes on among
savage nations, and even among cer-
tain civilized people, such as the Jap-
anese. With them a girl is never,mar-
ried without first staining her teeth
black with a repulsive kind of varnish,
and the custom is especially adhered
to amongst members of the richer
classes. On the west coast of Africa a
large proportion of the teeth are delib-
erately broken when children reach a
certain age. Both in the New World
and in the Old, the custom exists of
extracting the two front teeth of do-
mestic servants. In Peru the custom
has existed from time immemorial,
and used to be a sign of slavery in
•the days of Incas. This is also the
custom on the Congo and among the
Hottentots. Teeth are stained in vari-
ous colors among the Malays, A bright
red and a bright green is produced
with the aid of arsenic and lemon
juice. Livingstone related that among
the Kaffirs a child with a prominent
upper jaw was looked upon as a mon-
ster, and immediately killed. On' the
upper Nile the negroes have all their
best teeth extracted in order to de-
stroy their value in the slave market,
and to make it not worth while for
•the slave traders to carry them off.
Hardest Javanese Wood.
The hardest Japanese wood is the
kiyaki, resembling oak in fiber, which
takes a high polish and is used for fine
work and frames of ships, but is be-
coming very scarce, the price having
doubled within the last few years.
A HUMAN BAROMETER.
Politician Prognosticates the Wwatlier
After Being Struck by Lightning.
From the Philadelphia Times: “Yes,
it is a fine day 'for March,” said a
down-town politician to a reporter, to
whom he had just been introduced.
“All the same,” he continued, “we are
going to have barrels of rain in less
than an hour.” The reporter smiled
incredulously. The day was a beau-
tiful one—with a clear sky and balmy
air—and there did not seem the remot-
est possibility of even a passing show-
er. “You don’t seem to believe me,”
said the politician, “but my friend, Mr.
Smith (who had introduced the two),
knows that I can never make a mistake
in this matter,” Mr. Smith nodded as-
sent, and then the reporter left, think-
ing that e-ven some politicians are
fools. This was about noon and be-
fore one the rain came down in torrents
and continued all the afternoon. The
newspaper man was simply amazed,
raid, meeting Smith in the course of
the evening, he asked him how it was
that his friend had so accurately gaug-
ed the weather.
“The story is a strange one,” said
Mr. Smith, “so strange that you will
scarcely believe it, yet it is absolutely
true in every particular. About ten
years ago our friend the politician was
engaged in farming over in Jersey.
One day a terrific thunderstorm burst
over the village in which he lived. He
was in the house when the storm broke
out, but decided to go over to the barn
and look after a steer that was pretty
sick. On the way over he was struck
by lightning. Those who saw the
stroke say that a ball of bluish-green
fire leaped from the clouds, struck our
friend squarely on the head and, re-
bounding, burst into a thousand flashes
of flame. They rushed at once to
where the man lay, apparently dead.
His body was positively black and there
was a sickening smell of sulphur
around. The body was removed to his
home and a doctor sent for. The phy-
sician pronounced the man dead, hut
one of the neighbors, a crank on elec-
tricity, insisted that there was still a
slight hope of saving the man’s life.
Everybody there, including-the doctor,
laughed at him, but he went, to work
to resuscitate the, man. For the great-
er part of three days he never left his,
bedside, not even to go across the read
to get his ffieals. On the fourth day
he thought he observed signs of re-
turning animation. Encouraged at
this, he redoubled his efforts, and, to
make a long story short, succeeded in
saving the man’s life. Ever since then
our friend has bjy^ curiously affected
by the weather. Whenever it is going
to rain a large five-pointed star appears
on the palm of his left hand. This re-
mains blue until the rain pours down
and then Suddenly changes to crimson.
If thunder accompanies the rain a sim-
ilar star—smaller and with only four
points—appears on the palm of his
right hand. No pain is felt, but when
a thunderstorm develops the man sud-
denly loses his memory and his hear-
ing is also badly affected. Strange
story, is it not? Thanks, I generally
take mine straight.”
IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
Lost Child Who Was Found by Smoking
Out the Spirites.
From the New York Sun: In a vil-
lage in the West cf Ireland a few weeks
ago a child wandered away into the
country and was lost Its anxious par-
ents, after a weary and unavailing
search, reported the matter to the con-
stable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he tola
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car-
ried off by the fairies, according to
their well-known custom. The consta-
ble told them to make a fire and burn
in it as much of a certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Then,
according to his instructions, they
went again in search of the child. He
declared that the smoke of the burn-
ing herb would force the fairies to
bring the child tack and, sure enough,
on going over the ground they had
previously searched they found the lit-
tle boy asleep beside a stream. The
reputation and authority of that con-
stable have now increased a hundred--
fold in all the countryside, and very-
few householders in those parts now
have the temerity to risk offending
“the good people,” as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to
call the furies “the Eumenides,” or
well-wishing ones), by omitting to
leave out every night the trad t onal
bowl of milk and the griddle cake for
their benefit. The constable himself
believes his charm brought the child
back. Yet, like all the royal Irish con-
stabulary, he bras had to pass a fairly
stiff examination in order to be re-
ceived into the service.
Exceptional.
“That is the kind of women I like
to wait on,” said the third assistant
waiter. “You don’t mean to say she
gave you a tip?” asked the head waiter.
“Of course not, but she didn’t smell of
the napkin to see if it had been washed
or merely ironed.”—Cleveland Plain j
Dealer.
