GRADUATING EXERCISES.

The commencement exercises of the Canaan Academy were held in the school room of the Academy on Thurs day afternoon. The room was tasteful ly decorated with American flags and laurel and was we'll filled with parents and friends of the pupils. The Rev Frederick Thompson, principal. presid- ed Rev MT Barnett opened the e1er. cises with prayer. invoking the divine blessing on the school. it's teachers and pupils and on the exercises. The Misses Charlotte Beckley and Mary K. Watson played duo on the piano with artistic skill. Samuel G. Camp read an interesting essay on 'Shells." treating the subject mainly from an historical standpoint Messrs Delgado, Morton. Tompkins and Heber sang chorus. Mrs Bierce playing the accompaniment for this and the other songs. Mir Cham berlin read an essay, Famous Period of French Literature" He said this period was the 17th century, in which Corneille, Descartes, Pascal. Racine. Moliere and Lafontaine hourished. A song by Mir Delgado followed. Albert Roraback gave declamation on "True Greatness" which was very we'll receiv- ed. He dwelt on the character of Ma poleon. Masters Thompson and Bar nett then played piano duet in very creditable manner. Miss M. Louise Roraback, who was the valedictorian, read 8 we'll written and interesting essay on Virgil and Tennyson Com pared" The essay was discriminat- iug analysis of the character and writ ings of these two great poets and held the close attention of the audience. After reading the essay, Miss Roraback delivered the farewell address to the teachers and pupils in words of tender ness and feeling. Master Barnett pro- nounced Reclamation dealing with the genius of our political institutions. One very important idea expressed was that society is a body composed of many members. all discharging useful and necessary functions. and that all these members are equally entitled to respect. This idea, to be sure, is not new one, but it is one that is sometimes lost sight of.
 The reverend principal closed the proceedings by thanking the audience for their attendance, and also stated that two of the pupils would leave the Academy to enter Yale University in the fall and one at Mt. Holyoke college.

A SPANISH ANEcDoTE.
A Moor Whose Son Wa Killed Asais

A Moor Whose Son Wa Killed Asaists
 the Murderer to Escape.
 A Spanish cavalier, in sudden quar- rel, slew a Moorish gentleman and he'd. His pursuers soon lost sight of him, for he had unperceived thrown himself over 8 garden wall The owner, Moor, happening to be in his garden, was ad- dressed by the Spaniard, on his knees, who acquainted him with his case and implored concealment Eat this," said the Moor, "you know that you may con- fide in my protection. He then locked him up in his garden apartment, telling him that as soon as 1t was night he would provide for his escape to place of safety.
 The Moor then went to his house, where he had just seated himself, when . great crowd, with loud lamentations, came to his gate, bringing the corpse of his son. who had just been killed by the Spaniard. When the first shock of sur prise was little over, he learned, from the description given, that the fatal deed was done by the very person then in his power. He mentioned this to no one, but as soon as it was dark, retired to his garden, as if to grieve alone, giving or ders that none should follow him. Then, aocosting the Spaniard, he said: Chris tian, the person you have killed is my son; his body is now in my house. You ought to suffer, but you have eaten with me, and I have given you my faith, which must not be broken" He then led the astonished Spaniard to his sta bles, and mounted him on one of his fleetest horses, and said:
 Ely far while the night can cover you; you will be safe in the morning. You are indeed guilty of my sons blood, but God is just and good, and I thank him am innocent of yours, and that my faith given is preservedp' His point of honor is, 1t Is said, most religiously observed by the Arabs and Saraoens. from whom it was adopted by the Moors of Africa and by them was brought into Spain.

Inc Swanson Rheumatic Cure Com
pany, 167 Dearborn street, Chicago,
ILL.,
Dear Sirs-I can highly recommend
your "Schrage's Rheumatic Cure to
all who suffer from rheumatism. A year
ago last January while on a visit to
Liverpool, Eng, l was stricken down
with an attack of acute inf1ammatory
rheumatism, and confined to my bed
for even or. eight weeks. 1 had an
other attack a few weeks later in Ber-
lin, aid a third in Paris. L had the
very best medical attention. but could
not get cured. l returned to Chicago
about the end of April, very weak, still
suffering and grew very much worse.
MY joints were fearfully swollen; 1
suffered great pain. l consulted emin-
ent doctors but could get no relief.
Finally l was induced to try a bottle
of Schrage's Rheumatic Cure, and l can
frankly say that before I had taken
half Of one bottle l began to get relief.
l took only four bottles in all and have
had any return of the painful dis
ease. Therefore, l consider myself
cured. Yours truly,
HERRERT r.. RYCROFT.

one Oyster Enough for a Neal.
PlinyS mentions that according to tho
historians of Alexander'ss expedition
oysters a foot in diameter We're found
in the Indian seas. and Sir James =.
Tennent was Unexpectedly able to cor
roborate the correctness Of his state
ment, for at Kottiar, near Trincomalee,
enormous specimens Of edible oysters
were brought to the resthousc. One
measured more than eleven inches in
length by half as many in width. But
this extraordinary measurement is
beaten by the oysters of Port Lincoln
in South Australia, which are the larg-
est edible oysters in the world. They
are as large as Il dinner plate and of
much the same shape. They are some
times more. than q foot across the shell,
and. the oyster fits his habitItion SO
well that he does not leave much
margin. It is a new sensation when
a friend asks you to lunch at Adelaide
to have one oyster fried in butter or
eggs and breadcrumbs set before you,
but 1t is a very pleasant experience,

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.

From .ilrrnI, Michigan. Argus.
W" have long known Mrs. Jas. Nj.
Todd Of Long Rapids. Alp"na County,
Mich. She has been Il sad cripple.
Many of he" friends knew tn" story OF
her recovery: for the benefit Of those
who do not we publish ii today.
Eight ycarS ago she was taken with
nervous prostration. and in Il few
months with Muscular and inflamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
Then her head. Her @ " became 50
swollen she could wear nothing on
them: her hands were drawn all ont of
shape. Her eyes wcrex swollen shut
more Than half the time. her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months sh, had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless. and the skin WIS so dry and
cracked that ii would bleed. Daring
thc$" c,sht years she had been treated
by a score of physicians and has also
spent much time at Ann Arhor under
best medical advice. All sail her
trouble Was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure. and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself ut night. The
interesting part of the story follows in
her w words:
IL WAS urged to Try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. and ut last
did so. In three days after ! com
nmnccd taking Pink Pills | could sit up
and dress myself. and after using them

If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
have reason to thank God for creating
men who were able TO conquer that ter
rible disease. rheumatism. ] have in
my own ncighhorlooI recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects Of l.,

Mrs. Todd is very strong IN her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought II poor,
helpless cripple back to do iicr own
milking. churning, washing. sewing,
knitting. and. in fact, about all of her
household duties.

the elements necessary to give new life
