What EIse Can You Rxpecaa

Sufferers from nervous and chronic dis
eases often wonder why their family physi-
clan cannot cure them. Yet it is only what
might be expected when it Is considered
that the family doctor sees very few such
cases. He spends his time riding about
among his fever patients. 1t is the physi-
clan who makes specially of your particu-
lar disease to whom sufferers should apply.
This is what makes Of SO much value to the
sick the generous offer Of the eminent DR..
Greene Of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
the great specialist in curing all forms Of
nervous and chronic diseases, to give con-
sultation and advice free. This we'll
known physician, the discoverer Of the
wonderful nerve cure, DR.. Greene's Nervu-
ra, uses only pure and harmless vegetable
remedies In curing the sick. You who
have failed to be cured by your family doc
tor, write Immediately to Dir. Greene q de-
scription of your case, or send for q symp-
tom blank to fill out, and he will return
you letter fully explaining your disease,
giving advice, etc, free of charge. Do not
hesitate to write, for he has cured thou
sands of cases like yours and will surely
make you well. ran

Mr.. A.. F. Pike died al Dansville,
New York, Monday, the 2Sth inst,
having been at. j acksOn's Sanitariu m
but few weeks. His remains were
brought to Haverhill and the funeral
occurred Thursday. We subjoin a
short sketch of his life taken from the
Grafton County Gazetteer Of 1886:
"Alonzo Franklin Pike is the fourth child
of Isaac and Sally Morse Noyes Pike, and
was born in Haverhill in 1885. He was a
self made man, and early displayed the
same business energy and courage of his
father. Before he was of age, in 1857, h,
bought out his fathers store, and carried
on the business for himself. At the time of
his fathers death the milestone business
was in very unsatisfactory condition, and
the estate being much entanglnd, at the ear
nest solicitation OF the mother and family,
Mr.. a. +, Pike consented TO act as admins,
traitor of the property, and by careful and
wise management he succeeded in nnravel-
ing the ENHANCEMENT, so that the estate
paid nearly every claim in full which was
brought against it. Although his plans
had been formed to 60 to the city for the
purpose of engaging In other business. he
now abandoned his purpose and entered
into the business which his father had left.
At that time the business OF whetst0nes
and scythe-stOnes was comparatively limit
ed, but by great energy and industry and
steadfastneSS it has now grown to be one of
the most extensive plants in the state. MIR.
Pike has been an earnest and interchangeable
worker in the pursuit Of his business, and
by close attention to his affairs, careful and
prudent direction of his plans, by energy,
integrity, and strict punctuality, he has
steadily rsan from meagre beginning and
in the course of twenty-fv years Of his
business life finds himself one of the most
successful business men of Grafton county.
He has sound and trustworthy business
and is president Of the A F.
Pike Manufacturing Co., and one oAiitss-- 1 !
principal owners. He lives at Pike otS{fan
where he has a pleasant but transformations
home, looking to the east on one of the fin
est scenes in all this section of country,
having for the foreground the beautiful val
ley through which winds the Oliverian,
with the foothills OF Benton beyond, and
back Of these the grand outlines of MoOs-
ilauke. 7tr
Mr.. Pike is survived bv four chill
dren, one Of whom. Miss Hope, is now
dangerously i'll at Evansville. His wife
died suddenly about two months ago.
The sudden and extremely sad break
ing up of this prominent and wealthy
family, will occasion great sorrow
among the people of Haverhilf and
elsewhere, where the family is known.

HOW sERPENTS MOVE.

King Solomon acknowledged that
there were "three things which are
too wonderful for me-yea, four,
which l know not" and one of these
was "the way of serpent upon the
roe For hundreds Of years after
the time Of Solomon the snakes mode
of progression remained a mystery.
Latterday men of science have learn
ed that his snakeship's ribs furnish
him with means of progression. So,
instead of having pair or two pairs
Of "feet' they really have from $50
to 200 pairs. Aristotle thought that
serpents had as many ribs as there are
days in month, but had he examined
q python, he would readily have de-
tected his mistake, that species having
400. Snakes move in this way: Each
vertebra supports a pair of ribs, which
move like pair Of legs the extremi-
ties being connected by broad plate.
The hind part of this plate isffee, and
when the ribs are moved forward that
lend is raised, so that it takes hold OF
the surface underneath, even though
it be glass, the Strengthening Of the
