R W. Edwards, of Lausingbure, was
FRUSTRATED by sunstroke during the war,
and it has entailed on him peculiar and Sc.
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr. E. is prominent officer of Post Lyon,
g. A R., Cohoes and past aide de camp on
the staff of the comnsnder-in-chief of AL
bany Co. In the interview with reporter,
he said:
81 was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together with
others to Washington-a ride of about 100
miles. Having no room in the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom Of fat

tected heads When I reached Washington

ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered In nay ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result Of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease, nervous prostration, in
somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. As o last resort took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder
full degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the abscess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as bell when before it felt as

Look at those fingers Mr. Edwards said,
do they look as if there was any rheuma
tism there!" He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. "a year ago those fingers We're
gnarled at the Joints and so stiff that could

and could not straighten my leg out. My
joints would squeak when I moved them
That is the living truth.

Edwards, ''would be sufficient to give me

FLOWERS OF THE SKY.
Beautiful Forms and Colors of tho GAR

Beautiful Forms and Colors of the Gar-
dens of Starland.
We have learned to love the flowers
of the earth, to admire their delicate
tints, and to cherish them as silent
friends. How few learn to love and
become intimately acquainted with
the flowers of the sky" Far more
beautiful and varied are they than the
flowers of the earth; but only to the
patient astronomer who searches the
nocturnal heavens with his telescope
are these wonders revealed. He knows
exactly when and where to look fol
them, and by patient toll has added
many newly-discovered colored stars
to those already known.
Let us follow him in his ramble in
Starland, as he gazes at some of the
well-known double stars, the twin
flowers of the heavens. He will proba.

stellation Scorpio, which forms a mag.
nificent object in the south during the
summer months. 1t is easy to recog.
nize this constellation, with its long
winding trail Of stars. bearing a sup
posed resemblance to a huge scorpion
with extended claws. Right in the
heart of the Scorpion is the ruddy An.
tares. often called the Scorpions heart.
This star has minute green com.
panion, far too close to the red primary
star to be seen alone by any arrange
nent of the telescope. On one occa
sion, however, an eminent observer took
advantage of the passage of the moon
over the red star, to discover whether
the companion star was truly green in
In color. For a moment the red stan
was hidden by the moon, leaving the
other shining alone, and then it was
seen that the small star was unmis-
takably green. This experiment wa.
tried because it had long been sup
posed that the more strongly marked
colors, in the case of small companion
stars. were due merely to contrast.
The colors of the double stars, then,
are real, so that if we could pay a visit
to one of these systems we should find
colored suns-red. orange. and yellow

SILVER THE UNIT OF VALUE.

Ex-Gov. Prince. OF New Mexico. Shows That
There Is No Doubt on This Question.
Hon. L. V. bradford Prince, for years
governor and chief justice of New Mex
leo, in a recent interview in New York,
said: IA couple of months ago there
was great discussion in Chicago as to
what was the unit OF value under the
original coinage act of 1892, which en-
bodied the views of Washington, Ham
ilton and jefferson. They made large
bets on the subject. some contending
that the unit was in silver. and some
in gold, and finally the matter was re-
ferred to Judge Vincent, who rendered
a decision which was no sooner made
than it was controverted. The joke
is this: That the people of Chicago
never thought of looking at the coin
itself to see whether it said anything
on the subject
Nov here" said the governor, TAX
ing out of his pocket two finely pre-
served specimens of early coins, ARE
two silver dollars. one of 1895 and one
of 1902. On the diverse of each is the
word Liberty and the date on the re-
verse and United States of America
Now look at the edge, where the mill
ing is placed on more modern coins.
What do you see? One dollar, or unit,
hundred cents
IF the Chicago brethren had only
thought of going to the coin itself as a
witness they would have seen in a mo-
ment that the silver dollar was the
unit by this direct statement Imprint
ed in its very substance.
You know the silver dollar never
varied in weight in the United States
from the foundation of the govern
meut to the demonstration in 1873,
when it was worth S1.O3 in gold dol.
lars
when the change in ratio was made
in 1884 it was the gold coin that was
altered, not the silver dollar. The lat
ter was always the immutable stand
ard of value till struck down by the
monometallist, who desired dishon.
est. constantly increasing silver stand

comes up again. just remember to look
