SERVED in TWO WARS
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE
THE BULLETS FAILED.
Our Sympathics Always Enlisted in

from the Herald, II 00dSt0ek, Ta.l

tfI'Gm the LfrGid, ~ 08dSf0ff, Id.1
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mexico
and in the war of the rebellion. Mr.. Levi
McInturff. He passed through both
these wars without a serious wound. The
hardshipS, however. told seriously IN
him, for when the grip attacked him four
years ago it nearly killed him. Who can
look on the infrmities of veteran with
ont Il feeling of the deepest sympathy?
His townspeople saw him confined to his
house so Frustrated with great nervous
ness that he could not hold knife and
fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too, and as he attempted ii. he often STUN
bled and fell. They saw him treated by
the best talent TO be had-but still he suf-
fered on for four years, and gave up
finally in despair One day. however. he
was struck by the account of cure which
had Eeen effected by the use of Or. Will
Jams Pink Pills He imcdiately ordered
box and commenced taking them. lie
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way TO
his fingers and his hands which had been
palsied assumed Il natural color, and he
was soon enabled to use his knife ana
fork at the table. He has recovered his
strength TO such an extent that he is able
to chop wood. shock corn and do his reGu-
lar work about his home. He now says
he can not only walk to Woodstock. but
can walk across the mountains. lie is
able to lift up Il tifty-two pound weight
with one hand and says he does not know
what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done
for Others but knows that they have done
q great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day. and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great re-
lief He purchased another box and took
it home with him. Mr.. Mclnturff is Will
ing to make affidavit to these facts.

AS TO lCEBERGS.
Wrong Impressions Regarding the
White Mountains of the Ocean.

The only two varieties that are wOr-
thy of consideration, owing to their i'm
portance, are icebergs and ice foes,
says Home and Country.
The icebergS are originally simple in
form-just huge hunks of ice. They are
entitled to the name of berg" ormoun-
tain, only because they appear as such
on the fat surface Of the open sea.
When seen close TO the mountainous,
rock-bound coast of Greenland, close
to where they have been thrown off by
the glaciers, they look remarkably small
and insignificant. Roughly speaking,
they are about as large as house, and
vary in size about as much as houses
do. To be more accurate, few are over
100 to 200 feet in height, and icebergS
reaching height of 800 feet are excep-
tiOnS.
The bergS of northern seas are not so
broad and long as these of the Antarc-
tic ocean, the latter not infrequently
covering a surface Of over a square
mile. The former therefore look like
huge blocks. rather than the huge frag
mentS of ice plateluS of the Southern
polar seas. Furthermore. the southern
icebergs appear to be composed of two
or more strata o. layers of ice, and
are far clearer than their northern sis
ters. on account of their freedom from
foreign matter and the purity of the ice
which cOmpOSes them. These distinct
i've features are not so prominent in the
old bcrgs which have been partly melt
ed and broken away by the water.
The porous glacial ice of he bergS is
about One-seventh lighter than sea-
water. and only one-seventh of its bulk
juts above the surface Of the water. 1t
must not he imagined, however, that an
iceberg 100 feet high reaches 600 feet
below the surface. This would be the
case if the berg were an exact Seometri-
cal figure, which it is not 1t is one
seventh of its bulk which appears
above the surface, and not of its height.
The part under the water-the remain
ing six seyenths-may be made up in
width and breadth, rather than depth,
as indeed is generally the case.

Is so important that you should be sure
to get THE BEST. Hoods Sarsapa-

its thousands of remarkable cures, and
the fact that it has larger sale than
any other sarsaparilla or blood puri-
fer shows the great confidence the
people have in it. In fact, it is THE
Spring Medicine. 1t cures all blood
diseases, builds up the nerves, and
gives such strength to the whole system

Earned Their Cheese.

Strikes, unfortunately, have become
no uncommon occurrence in recent
years: but liz the old days they were
rare indeed. Nevertheless, the rec
or1s of our old towns once in Il while
give glimpSeS of diSagrecmentS be-
tween employers and employed which
might properly pass under that title.
But Old-faShioned strikes and modern
ones did not have very much in com
mon, either in cause or manner of
conduct, if one noted in the chronicles
of Old Newbury was Il fair sample.
This occurred i'm the workshop of Il
certain Mr.. Gordon, whose business
WAS the forging of irOnwOrk for ships
He employed Il number Of workmen,
but not more than could, after the
fashion of the time, dine all together
at their employers table. Mr.. Gordon
WAS of an economical, not TO say par
simoniOus, disposition. and the food
provided WAS not always satisfactory.
Cheese was then considered an indiS-
pcn>able item of the MONDAY meal,
and cheese he particularly grI1ged.
One day, however. a fine cheese was
placed upon the table after the removal
of the meat. and re took up knife to
cut it. But as he looked he paused;
looked again; turned it oter; paused
once more; and finally, laying down
the knife. he exclaimed:
This is Il good cheese, pretty
cheese, too good to spoil.' And rising
from his chair abruptly, he called
his men away to their work.
That afternoon large anchor was
TO be forged The fire was blazing
fiercely and the iron whte-hOt.
THAT is a good heat Gordon cried
eXultingly.
"A good heat" responded the men.
"A grand heat. reiterated the mas
ter
"A grand heat" the men assented
cheerfully.
"Then why don't you strikc?" ex-
claimed Gordon.
1T is a good heat:" asked the fore
man, hesitating, with an air of inno-
cent doubt.
Yes. yes, strike, strike. tell YOU
ordered Gordon, impatiently. Strike,
men. striker
Don't you think" was the deliberate
and gentle reply, while not an arm was
lifted, don't you think it is too good
heat TO spoil?'
The hint was effective. The cheese.

was brought in before work was re-
sumcd; and then, luncheon over. all
hands turned to in the best of lumors,
and the anchor was forged with will.
