hand:

When Jane Murphy arose from the
floor she was an altered woman. Proof
of her matron dignity and of her boys

fore the next sunset all Cumminseed
knew the truth. The pastor Of St
Grace's came from New York at hel
summons to swear, to his book and his

legal proceedings were instituted to re
store the widow to her rights. Oh
course they were successful.
To-day no one is more respected IL

Dinker, growing quite old and unable
to go abroad, INDUCES her singular

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
The Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullet Failed.
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted In the
Infirmities of the Veteran.
(From the Herald, Woodstock. "a,

(Frons the Herald, Woodstock, Va)
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 with
out a serious wound. The hardships, how.
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the infrmi
ties of aveteran without feeling Of the
deepest sympathya His townspeople saw
him confined to his house so Frustrated
with great nervousness that he could not
hold knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had-but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of cure which
had been effected by the use Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed anatural color, aud he was soon
enabled to use his knife and 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 regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up fifty-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 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 80 great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him, Mr.. McInturf Is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not a patent medicine but
prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms Of weakness arising from watery

would have got her into trouble. But
Cumminseed was used to Miss Dinker.
When. she visited the village store, and
put piece of tape up her sleeve, the
watchful shopman added its price to
her bill. When she took a neighbours
forks the neighbor sent polite mes
sage to Miss Jane Dinker to have them
restored; and Miss Jane, who was old
Miss Dinker's niece, would find them
up chimney or down cellar, and restore
them.
Old Miss Dinker knew that she was
deserving Of blame in thus indulging
her desire for stolen fruit, but as she
often remarked when reasoned with,
''she couldn't help it,"
She was generous old lady, too,
and kindly, and if she taught Jane
that man was deceiver and that
spinsterhood was blessed, she meant
we'll.
Capt. Richard Murphy told another
story when his ship lay in port, and he
himself rested at little hotel in Cum
minseed. And Jane, won over by his
merry voice and jolly ways, forgot her
aunt's precepts. and one day ran away
with him, leaving penitent little note
for her aunt and begging her forgive
ness.
The old lady was naturally indig-
nant, but when, three days after, the
captain brought Jane back under hts
arm, established her in a beautiful lit
tie house, which he had purchased,
and sent for 1.-THE old lady to make up"
Miss Dinlxer relented, took tea with
her niece and deigned to approve of
her choice, and so the village scandal
was silenced for awhile, and people
called on Mrs. Capt. Murphy.
They lived together for five years in
great contentment and a little boy
was born to them, and all went pros
perously; but at the end of that time
the sword that always hangs by hair
over the head of seafaring mans life
fell at last. The captains vessel was
a wreck, and the captain and crew
persisted in mid-ocean, and Jane, after
hoping against hope, and refusing to
believe when no one else doubted, and
listening night and day for step that
came not and could never come, accept
ed the truth at last and put on her
widows cap and took the awful truth
in place of suspense, and tried to live
and bear it for her boys sake.
Then there came from some far-off
place a man who proved himself the
captains brother and who claimed his
property, alleging that Jane Dinker
had never been married to John at all.
Jane was furious. but she could only
vow that a clergyman of the Episcopal
church had married her. She could
not remember the name of the church
nor of its pastor, nor had she what the
brother called ser lines" The mar
rage certificate, as she declared, the
captain always kept among his private
papers and had taken to sea with him.
She advertised in New York paper
for the clergyman who bad performed
the service, but no answer came and
finally the law and popular opinion
declared that the widow had never
been wife and she was left poverty
stricken and helpless, and not friend
in the world but old Miss Dinker. She
came out nobly.
Alas! all the rest of Cumminseed held
a contrary opinion, They shuddered
at the thought Of having associated
with such a creature, and wondered
how she had dared to impose upon
them so. They sent her to Coventry

inner part of the hopper, and termin-
ating within about an inch of the bot
tom. When it is united in place, the
grain runs out beneath it's lower edge
us rapidly as the pigeons eat the food.
The diagram Zig. p will perhaps make
this description clearer. A b is the
bottom of the hopper, c D the top,
hinged at c. A D is the front, and G.
the opening at which the pigeons feed.
E + is the slanting board inside the
hopper, the grain passing out under f
into the space between + and A, The
grain is poured into the hopper by lift
ing the lid, C d.
Eighteen inches is a very good height
for a hopper. II one is made for hum
dred birds it should be long enough to
have at least ten or twelve openings,
each one at least four inches distant
from any other. This would make the
dimensions say four or five feet long,
twelve inches wide and eighteen inches
high. Several smaller ones can be
used instead of one large one, and we
believe this is the better plan, for they
are more readily emptied out should
this be necessary.
Mice sometimes get into the grain
and give it a flavor which is distaste-
full to the pigeons. To prevent this,
the hopper is sometimes placed on a
table in the middle of the loft, the
table itself being supported by single
smooth metal leg which prevents the
mice from reaching the grain.
1t scarcely seems necessary to urge
the Importance of keeping the hopper
filed, but it is fact that many neg
lect this, because the supply given will
last some days. After little time one
can get acquainted with the time the
supply of grain will last and can then
fix certain definite days for the filling
of the hopper. BY observing these set
times the supply will be constant and
the birds will not lack for food. -Coun-
