A Miracle Worried In. the Karat Recesscs
of Boroiino Creates n Sensation.
From the EosninJ Mems, Syracuse, ~ ~
Albert Applebes was very sick man. He
had been ailing for months and had been
compelled to remain home, unable to atteni
to his business. His friends stood or sat
about tho few small stores in tho vlllays OF
Borodino and discussed his sal condition.
Applebeo was carpenter, ani good one
TOO, but since his strange msladv overlook
him he had not shown any dispotion TO do
any work. Life had lost its charms for him,
he became a misanthrope and lost in every
hing His friends advised him AMI the To-
,al doctors tried their skill on him but It was
Of no avail. Although thcy no doubt dag
noscd his case correctly, he grew worse
despite their efforts
But he recovered and II has made such
stir in the small town that Neos reporter
was sent out to Boro1lno 10 investigate. Hs
drove over and found Mr.. Applebee hard at
work on the roof Of house he was building.

carpenter. who is good-looking man Of

charge from my right ear. / took about
every medicine known TO the medical frater-

the stomach andindigestion, which made me
| feel that life was not worth living. Last fall
I began taking n medicine known as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, which
were recommended by n friend whose wife
had read Of them In some OF tho country
papers. But gave II a trial and was sur
prised to find that II benefited me- / tried
more and persevered and at last, thank God,
was cured. My ear has discontinued dis
charging and for the past three months l
have been perfectly well. l make these state

Several OF Mr.. Applebee's neighbors were
seen by the reporter and they In turn ex-

they had wrought on him. One said the cure
wassimply wonderful as the man was total

Description of Homeric Struggle In
an Unroofed Arena.


an Unroofed Arena.
These wrestling contests take place

meet. The center Is occupied by the
umpire, person of much distinction,
dressed In an old brocade costume, pic
turesque enough to Europeans and
reminiscent of feudal times. -Four
Judges, according to Current Literature,
are also In attendance In case the UNI
pire's decision should be disputed. The
umpire stretches out his fan and shouts
something In strident voice. At his
behest the first couple of combatants
appear. The dress Is scarcely conven-
tional, according to occidental ideas.
Indeed, there Is practically no dress at
all. Beyond strip round the lions, alb
solutely nothing is worn. They stride
into the ring amid the plaudits of thou
sands, take draught of water from
bucket In the corner, sprinkle them
selves with the fluid, and are ready for
the encounter. Two mighty men are
they, with limbs and trunks that would
not disgrace Samson. Mountains of
muscle some. others mountains of fat.
Good humor CLEANS in their faces.
They slap their thighs, and stamp their
legs like restiye horses, and then crouch
ready for the spring, like beasts of prey.
The umpire gives the signal to COM

embrace. Perhaps the feint n parrled,
so that we have It all over again. 1t Is

Some Prospects OF a General Improve

The "Iron Age", New York, publishes the
following: Those outside OF the iron trade
seem to know more Of an advance In prices
than the majority connected with the indus
try. The feeling Is undoubtedly botter, but
the newly acquired strength is not yet hercu-
lean We have heard very little OF record
breaking prices during the last month, and
that Is proof Of improvement. The reason
why higher cost brought about by desrer raw
material has not been reflected by corre-
spondingly better figures for finished goods,
is that the majority Of producers are still
working on cheap materials and are giving
their advantage AWAY. Apparently, furnace
men are resisting vigorously the higher
prices for coke, but even II the makers do
not at once secure all they ask for they are
sure to obtain good raise above the sthrvA-

do all things. From the first the in
tention of the legislature in founding
1t has been kept steadily in view. The

reference to this primary purpose. The
studies are selected with reference to
their pedagogical value.
This institution is particularly for

trustees recognize the important fact
that the Institutional force is the ele-
ment that gives vigor and permanent
growth to any institution. Great care
has been exercised in the selection Of
teachers. The best institutions Of
