The Gunmaker of lion.
JEFFERSON M. CLOUOH RE-
FUSES A TEMPTING OFFER
FROM THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT
GOVERNM EMIT.
Ills Health Was Too Poor to Admit At.
tention to Business.

OFrom the Springfield, Mass, Union.)
There isn't gun manufacturer in the
United States. who does not know JEFF
ferson NJ. Clough. He mas been intimate
ly associated all his life with the de-
velopment of the Remington and
Winchester rifles. For years he was SUI
perintendent of the Z. Remington &
Sons great factory at Ilion, n. Y.
After leaving there he refused a tempt
ing offer of the Chinese government to
go to China to superintend their gov
eminent factories,-and accepted In
stead the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the Win
chester Arms Co., at New Haven, at
salary of 81 500 a year.
1t was after this long term Of active
labor as a business man that he found
himself incapacitated for further service
by the embargo which rheumatism had
laid upon him and resigned his position
more than two years ago. and returned
to Belchertown, Mass, where he now
lives and owns the Phelps farm.
Being man Of means he did not
spare the cost and was treated by lead
ing physicians and by baths OF cele-
brated springs without receiving any
benefit worth notice. During the sum-
mer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr..
Clough was confined TO his house in
Belchertown, being unable to rise from
his bed without assistance, and suffer-
ing continually with acute pains and
with no taste or desire for food, nor was
he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr.. Clough
| heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He began taking these
pills about the first of March, 1894, and
continued to do so until the first part of
September following. The frs: effect
noticed was a better appetite and he
began to note more ability to help him
self off the bed and TO be better gen.
orally. Last August $3.50 he was able
to go alone to his summer residence and
farm of 1853 acres on Grenadier island,
among the Thousand islands, in the
River st. Lawrence, where from the
highest land of his farm he commands a
view for thirteen miles down the river,
and sixty of the Thousand islands can
be seen.
/ Instead of being confined to his bed
Mr.. Clough is now and has been for
! some time able to be about the farm to
| direct the men employed there and he is
! thankful for what DR.. Williams Pink
/ Pills have done Tor him.
/ These pills are manufactured by the
! DR.. Williams Medicine company, Sche-
nectady, y. Y, and are sold only In
boxes bearing the firms trade mark and
! wrapper. at 80 cents box or six boxes
/ for $3.50 and are never sold in bulk.
! They may be had of all druggists or
/ direct by mail from DIR. Williams Medi-
! cine company.

BISHOP POTTER
An Experience at Sea whea Uo Was In

From the Chicago Record.
Bishop Potter Is credited with telling
the story which, moro aptly than the
thousands of other stories on the same
subject, illustrates tho abject misery
and utter responsibility of seaslck-
ness. We hardly know why it is, but
1t cannot be denied that any yarn in
volving the horrors of nal de mer is
seized upon with avidity by the public
generally, and with particular gusto by
those individuals who have themselves
suffered the indescribable wretchedness
OF that greyious malady.
Il was coming from Liverpool upon
one OF the famous liners" says Bishop
Potter, land. although the sky was
clear and the weather warm, some
what tempestuous sea had occasioned
more than the usual amount of seasick-
ness among the passengers. AS I
paced the deck one afternoon noticed

es. and the unearthly pallor of her face
and the hopeless languidity of her man.

JEALOUSY IS A DISEASE.
French Physician Ascribcs an Under
fed Brain RS It's Cause.

~ French Physician AscriDcs an Under
fed Brain RS Its Cause.
If we are to believe the recent asser-
ton of DR.. Maurice de Eleury, French
physician of some experience. jealousy is
a disease, dependent upon physical con-
ditions, and amena bic to physical meth
DDS of treatment. DIR. de Fleury as
sures us that the Jealous man has al
ways a brain that IS insuficiently nour-
ished-he is in the early stages of that
common form of insanity in which a
man Is subject to the hallucination OF
being followed by enemies; he is NOR
bidly suspicious to the last degree. He
may be suffering from incipient brain
disease. but very likely his malady Is
the result of temporary conditions; he
Is overtired, he has been weakened by
long Illness, or he has been on an ex-
hausting spree. The peculiar weakness
that the grip leaves behind is RESPONSE
BILE for more jealousy. so says the
French authority, than any amount OF
really Justiiablc suspicion. Can jeal-
ousy be cured? Certainly il can; that
is, 1t may be treated with the same
chances of success as any other all
ment. And there is the justification for
insisting on the physical character Of
jealousy. 1t will be hard for most peo-
pie to accept what DIR. de Fleury says.
He points out that defective brain nour-
ishment can be met by stimulants and
nutritives. Take a man who is unrea-
sonably jealous and irritable early in
the morning and give him n good
breakfast or cup of coffee, and ten to
one he will sit down and talk the mat
ter over sensibly with you. According
TO DIR. de Fleury, all jealous persons
have sensible intervals, the malady be-
ing in some degree a periodic one, just
like chills and fever. In short. DR.. de
Fleury's treatment includes everything
that can be done to give strength and
confidence to the Jealous wretch, to
spire him with a sense of his own pow
er-to make man of him. Exactly
how and by what drugs this is to be
done the French authority does not ex-
pressly say. But there is where the in
genuity Of the versatile and inventive
patent medicine man will come in. We
are on the high road to the abolition OF
disease. May 1t not be possible that a
branch Of the same road leads to the
abolition also OF disagrceable and an.
noying state of mind? Cheer up, ye
Respondent, ye men with blues and
