Handel weighed over two hundred
pounds, but in spite of his flesh his face
was singularly attractive. Its chief
feature was the beautiful mouth, which,
in shape, was perfect cupid's bow.
His nose was long and pointed, his eyes
were wide apart, and his forehead
shelved more than was consonant with
proper proportions. He was of burly
frame, and was said to have the ply
sique of a porter, and, when he played,
the touch OF an angel

FOOD ON A STEAMSHIP.
There is Rarely Any Danger of Famine
or Drouth-

OF DToufAs
There is seldom a st arcity of drink
ing water on passenger steamships.
Large tanks, sufficient for five hun
dred or six hundred tons, are on each
big steamship, which are used only for
drinking water. Water for cooking
and bathing is supplied from the sea
and goes through condenser before it
is used.
In the event of scarcity of water,
if the engines are in order, all the
drinking water necessary for dozen
years can be obtained from the same
source. Some people object, however,
to drinking condensed sea water, while
others object even to fresh water.
There are certain articles which the
foreign governments stipulate to be
carried, and in certain proportion
In England the board of trade list
for 500 Storage passengers is $500
pounds of sea biscutit, $500 pounds of
Hour, 600 pounds of oatmeal. 900 pounds
of rice, 1000 pounds of potatoes, 5000
pounds of salt beef, $500 pounds of
salt pork, $500 pounds of sugar, $50
pounds of coffee, $50 pounds of tea, rs
pounds of mustard, 40 pounds of pen
per, % gallons of vinegar. $500 pounds
of fresh beef and 300 pounds of salt.
The amount of food that can be polIed
in the Storage galley is marvellous.
The room is but fifteen by twenty feet,
and often three cooks are able to pre-
pare three meals u LAY for from l, 200 to
1,5O0 passengers.
The variety is much less than in the
ca bin, though no two meals alike are
given during the week. There is q
change OF menu each day, and on sun
days, holidays and the last day of the
voyage little splurge is made in the
shape of plum pudding for dinner.
The steerage cooking is all done by
steam. The soups, tea, coffee. pota-
toes and cereals are prepared in the
huge caldrons, holding sufficient for
300 or 400 people.

A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
Nervous Troubles End in st. VII
tuS' Dance.
Physicians Powerless-The Story Told by
the Childs Mother.
From the Reporter, Somerset, XVI

from the Reporter, Somerset XVI
Among the foot hills of the CumberIand
Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock is
the happy home of James McPherrou
Four months ago the daughter of the fam
lily, happy girl of sixteen, was stricken
with st. Vitus' dance. The leading physi-
clans were consulted but without avail She
grew pale and thin under the terrible nerv-
Gus strain and was fast losing her mental
powers. In fact the thought of placing her
in an asylum was seriously considered. Her
case has been so widely talked about that
the report of her cure was like undermining
miracle of old. To a reporter who visited
the home the mother said:
eyes, the reports of my daughters sick
ness and cure are true as you hear them.
Her affection grew into st. Vitus' dance
from an aggravated form of weakness and
nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every
source of help was followed to the end, but
it seemed that physicians and medicine were
powerless. Day by day she grew worse I'M
til we despaired of her life. AT times she al
most went into commissions. She got SO that
we had to watch her to keep her from wan
dering away and you can imagine the care
she was.
'About the time when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fed, read of
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by a medicine known as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills Almostin desperation secured
some of the pills and from that day on the
wonderful work of restoration commenced;
the nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright
with the color of health, she gained flesh
and grew strong both mentally and physi-
cally until to-day she is the very picture of
good health and happiness.
SIT is no wonder that speak in glowing
terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person 1
meet. They saved my daughters life and I
am grateful"
The foregoing is but one of many wonder
full cures that have been credited to DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. In
many cases the reported cures have been
investigated by the leading newspapers and
verified in every possible manner. Their
fame has spread to the far ends of civiliza-
ton and there is hardly a drug store in this
country or abroad where they cannot be
found.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price go cents a
box, or six boxes for 81. J0-they are never
