THE DRUG CLERKS STORY
He Talks of Headaches and Nervousness
and Gives Cures for Both.
From she Evening News, Newark M.


From the Evening News Newark, N. ],
II was the drug clerks turn to tell story
of ono Of his experiences and the reporter,
expecting something good, as usual, settled
himself comfortably in a chair prepared to
give his undivided attention to the speaker.
The latter was Henry Maier, who resides
with his parents on Acqueduct Street, New
ark, N. j., and who hands out medicine
over tho counter of Dr. Andrew II. Burk-
hardt's drug store at 27l Orange Street,
this city.
"Perhaps can do nothing better" he
began, ethan to tell you the secret of my
good health. IL is a story that have told
to many, recently, and ms 1t resulted in
good in each case, It may be worth your
while to listen to it. TO begin with, was
not always strong and robust, as / am now.
Long hours of work and hard study had
left mo in wretched condition, Frightful
lingering headaches found me a ready vic.
tim, and at times was SO nervous that the
dropping of a pin would cause me to give a
violent start, and then / would be seized
with fit Of trembling that was, to put it
mildly, exceedingly bothersome. Well,
began to doctor myself. Now / fiatter
myself that know something of medicine ;
but with all my knowledge, / could find
nothing that would cure those terrible
headaches or put an end to my extreme
nervousness. When | picked up bottle
my hand would shake as though | had the
chills, and IL It was o powder that | was
handling l stood a good chance Of sprlnk-
ling II all over these black trousers. Things
went from bad to worse and soon realized
that man of my physical condition had
better not attempt to mix any medicine.
"Try box of lNr Williams Pink Pills,
said DR.. Burkhardt, one day and as you
know the DOCTORS advice is always worth
following, got the Pink Pills and began to
take them. Would you believe itl Before
j had taken the contents Of one box my
headache began to give me day Off occa-
sionally, and soon it left me entirely. How
about my nervousness Well, the pills put
AN end to that with almost startling alb
ruptness. You see / know enough about
the business to appreciate the Importance
Of following the prescribing. physician's
directions, and by paying strict attention
box of his Pink Pills, was soon another
fellow. Look at me now A picture Of
health, che Well that is what DR.. Will
tamo' Pink Pills will do for man, or
woman either See, / can hold a glass of
water out now without splitting drop, but
couldn't do that two months ago and
"Whatisit ma'am2" he asked as a neatly
dressed woman came up to the counter. "a
box Of DR.. Williams Pinl, Pills" eyes,
ma'am, fifty cents please Thank you"
!'These Pink Pills are great things" said
Mr.. Maier as he turned to the reporter
again, and the latter, after all he had heard,
thought SO too.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all tho
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves, They are for sale by all druggists,
80 cents par box, or six boxes for $3.50.

POWER OF A PIANIST,
Pounds of Strength Expended in strlk-
ing n Note Heavily.

Aub ~ NOlo AAcuPhys
1t requires more force to sound
note gently on the piano than to lift
the lid of a kettle. A German composer
has figured that minimum pressure of
the finger playing pianOissimo is equal
to ITO grams-a quarter of a pound.
Few kettle lids weigh more than two
ounces. The Germans calculations are
easy to verify If one takes a small hand
full of coins and piles them on key
of the piano. When a sufficient guam
tity is piled on to make a note sound
they may then be weighed and these
figures will be found to be true. II the
pianist is playing fortissimo a much
greater force is needed At times a
force of six pounds is thrown upon a
single key to produce a solitary effect
With chords the force is generally
spread over the various notes sounded
simultaneously, though greater out
put Of force is undoubtedly expended
This is what gives pianists the wonder
full strength in their fingers so often
commented on. A story used to be
told of Paderewski that he could crack
a pane of French plate glass half an
inch thick merely by placing one hand
upon it, as If upon a piano keyboard,
and striking it sharply with his middle
finger. Chopins last study in z minor
has passage which takes two minutes
and five seconds 70 Pay. The total
pressure brought to bear on this, it is
estimated is equal to three full tons.
The average tonnage" Of an hours
piano playing of Chopin's music varies
from twelve to eighty-four tong.

A Cambridge surrestlun.

A gentleman hailing from Cam.
bridge makes the valuable suggestion
that in future International yacht races
the navy be employed in policing the
sea in order that there may be no in
reference from the excursion steamers
But whose navy? In the event, for
example, of another race, between De-
fender and Valkyrie, does this Cam
bridge gentleman suppose that Eng
land would consent that the American
navy should dlo all the policing?
Hardly. John Bull would surely in
slst on sending over few gun-boats
to assist in the police business. Moth
ing would be decided as to the sailing
qualities of yachts. The country with
the better navy would win the race,
with heavy loss ON both sides and the

Cheap HAY Is often Denrest.

Excepting clover hay, Which is al
ways sold for less than it's feeding val
We, the dearest hay is that which is
sold for least money, because it is out
of condition. Hay that is stained with
rains and with heating has lost great
deal of it's nutritive value. Besides
much of the poor hay sold for low
prices is filed with weed seeds, and
and would be dear to any good farmer
as gift. For this reason, as well as
for its bulkiness, the hay to be used
on farm ought always to be grown
on it, leaving only the grain and con-
centrated feeds to be- purchased.

Leaves Not RlpenIng.

There are few lace varieties of fruit
that do not always ripen their leaves,
The Northern Spy apple is one of
these. We have often seen it as green
as in July, when the frost blackens
the leaves in single night The
Northern Spy apple ripens late itself,
and there is usually close relation be-
tween the ripenipg of the leaf, fruit
and wood. Unripened wood is much
more likely to be injured by severe cold
than that which is fully matured.

Collection Of HnndLernhiefa.

Tourists returning from abroad re-
port new fad which has, for the mo-
ment at least, superseded the erstwhile
popular craze for souvenir spoons; in
stead, milady now collects dainty hand
kerchiefs. From the days of Josephine
to the present the handkerchief has
been an important item in the expen-
diture of fastidlous woman; a good
dresser considers her toilet incomplete
without a bit of snowy lawn or linen,
which, though scarcely ever seen, and
1t may be severely plain, must yet be
above reproach with regard to flneness
Of texture An inveterate globe trotter,
who has just returned from the other
side, rejoices in an exquisite collection
Of these cobwebby nothings. At every
city or town where she stopped, no mat
ter how short her stay or how insight
ficant the village, another square OF
linen was faithfully added to her spoils,
and, curiously enough, she readily re-
calls where each was purchased. So that
her handkerchiefs, in measure, serve
her as a sort Of note book.

Very Probable.

Jack Beam, of Fayetteville, KY. while
out riding six years ago was thrown
from his horse and badly bruised. The
horse ran away and could not be found.
The other day while Beam was standing
in the yard, the horse walked up to
the gate. One moldy strap was the
only vestige of his harness left, and
his hair was long and full Of dirt. 1t
is believed that the horse has been liv-
ing in the woods ever since he ran
away.

Found His Ovorooat.

The train stopped in the great dark
station of a New England city and q
gentleman who had been doing dur
ing the last hour of his journey got up
In haste, seized his bag and hurried
out Of the car. In moment he came
rushing back; he had forgotten his
overcoat, says the Youths Companion
But no overcoat was there, for his son
had come along from the smoking car
recognized 1t and carried 1t out.
Where's my coat?" exclaimed the
owner, excitedly, diving under the seat
and knocking off his hat as he rose
This is my seatl I'm sure left II
here"
But the persons sitting near had just
entered the car and took no interest in
him; nobody answered. Out he hurried
and again missed his son, who had gone
into the station to inquire about tick
cts. sHe was sure his coat must be In
that car. There was nothing for 1t but
to go back, and back he went.
Meanwhile a lady attired in black
with a long Grape veil over her face
entered the seat he had vacated ant
sunk YEARLY back in the corner, hel
veil over her face. In rushed the ex
cited gentleman. The train was about
to start and IL he was to find his Goa
1t was now or never.
There 1t is," he cried in triumph
II knew 1t was therew
He plunged forward and literally
grabbed at--the yelled lady. Shc
shrleked, he gasped an apology, thu
train started and he plunged out Of the
