Plenty Of light is beneficial, except in
cases Of brain disease. The less furnt-

A PECULIAR CASE.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE
EXPERIENCE OF MRS. BOWEN.
The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption.

(From the Record, Philadelphia. Pa.)
Last July the Episcopal hospital ad-
mltted woman whose pale and emancl-
ated face and rackng cough proclaimed
her the victim Of consumption. She
gave her name as Mrs VIM. G.
Philadelphia The case was dag
nosed and she was told plainly that
she was in an advanced state of con-
sumption. The examining physician
even showed her the sunken place in her
breast where the cavity in her lung was
supposed to exist She went home to
her family, broken. disheartened wom-
an with death staring her in the face.
That was the beginning of the story. tho
END as told by Mrs. Bowen, who no
longer expects to die, to reporter fol-
lows:
THE first symptoms of consumption
came in the form of terrible sweats
night and day. From April until
september / was constantly cold and
kept wrapped up in blankets through
The hottest weather. A terrible cough
took possession of me. my breast was
sore to the slightest touch, and my
limbs were like cold clay The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would
not create the slightest flush, and the
least exertion would exhaust me.
i went to the hospital in July and
they diagnosed my case as above stat
ed. 1t was when the clouds were the
darkest that the first CLINT of sunshine
came Mr.. Shelmerdine, a friend, who
lives around at 1874 Clementine St, said
TO me one day, Mrs. Bowen did you ever
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l had never heard of the medi-
cine. but in my condition could not turn
a deaf ear to anything that offered re-
Hef. 1t was after considerable thought
ana investigation that l concluded tc
discontinue all other medicine, in
cluding cod liver oil, and depend
entirely upon Pink Pills. / began to
take the pills, at first with but little en-
couragement. The first sign of improve
ment was a warmth and tingling sem
sation in my limbs. Finally the cough
disappeared. my chest lost its soreness
and l began to gain flesh until l was
hfteen pounds heavier. All this I owe
10 DR.. Williams Pink Pills and l cannot
praise them too highly"
Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced lady of
middle age, a church member, we'll
known and highly esteemed She looks
today well and strong and 1t seems al
most impossible that she was ever given
up BY eminent physicians as an in
durable consumptive. Yet such is the
case beyond all dispute.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements Necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists. or may be had by mail

An Indiana MiAtake.

They say that two Indians belong

of life in the wild west, while visiting
London, were much interested in the
sights to be seen in the London streets.
Day after day they would walk up and
down the most crowded streets and
gaze on the people and into the shop
windows like pair of children at the
circus. One day they stopped before
the show window of wig maker and
stared at the many varieties of wigs
on exhibition there until their eyes
nearly fell out. Finally one of them

his head, remarked: Ugh, mighty

The English sparrow.

The first English sparrow was
brought to the United States in 1850
but it was not until 1870 that the spe-
cies can be said to have firmly estab.
lished itself. Since then it has taken
possession of the country. Its fecundity
is amazing. In the latitude of New
York and southwark it matches, as q
rule, five or six broods in a season, with
from four to six young in a brood. AS
summing the average annual product OF
a pair to be twenty-four young. OF
which half are females, and hall

Am rricAn Indigo.

Indigo for expectation was brought into
Charlestown in wagons and the owners re
ceived the proceeds in the form of Spanish
silver coin, which composed almost the en-
tire currency before the Bank OF the State
was established in 1872. 1t was a clumsy
and inconvcnient medium OF exchange for
large amounts. We read that ''the mer-
chants Of North Carolina and other distant
points used to carry the money in boxes
fitting under the seats Of the sulkles In
which they travelled. to be taken out
al night and put back in the morning.
The indigo itself was often used directly
as a medium Of purchase for other COM
mOdities. General Harrington at one time
sent three fOur-hOrse wagon loads Of indigo
to Virginia, buying in exchange from fifteen
TO twenty negroes An interesting illustra-
ton of this use Of indigo is connected with
General Francis Marion. This incident oc-
CURED in 1IS3, just after the battle Of Hob
kirk Hill. A nephew OF General Marion
was to be sent to school in Philadelphia.
and was accordingly fitted out with a wagon
load Of indigo: which was TO pay for his
tuition and other school expenses. As the
British then held possession, General Marion
wrote to Lord Balfour. in command In
Charlestown. asking permit for the boy to
pass through the British lines. General Ma
rions letter was sent by BalfOur TO Raw
don and was afterward cOuntersigned by
COrnwalils. The youth with his wagon load
of indigo was allowed to proceed by the
Charlotte route toward Philadelphia. but.
unfortunately. he died before reaching his
destina tion.-The Science Monthly.
