A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS,
NERVOUS TROUBLES END IN ST.
vITUs' DANCE.
Physicians Poweriess---The story Told by
the Child's Mother.

Physicians Poweriess---The story Told by
the Chiid's Mother.
(From he Reporter, Somerset, Ky)
Among the foot hills OF the Cumberland
Mountains, near the town OF Flat Rock. is
the happy home Of James Mcpherron. Four
months ago the daughter Of the family. a
happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with St.
vitus' dance The leading physicians were
consulted. hut without avail. She grew pale
and thin under the terrible nervous 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 taxed about that the report Of her
cure was like undermining miracle of old.
To reporter who visited the home the
mother said:
'Yes, the reports OF my daughter sickness
and cure are true as you hear them. Her af-
Fiction 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 power
less. Day by day she grew worse until we
despaired of her life. At times she almost
went into commissions. She got so that we
had to watch her to keep her from wander
ing away, and you can imagine the care she
was.
About this time, when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fed, read of
another case, almost similar. that had been
cured by medicine known as DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. Almost in 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 physically
until to-day she is the very picture OF good
health and happiness
terms Of Pink Pills to every ailing person l
meet. They saved my daughters life and
am grateful"
The foregoing is but one OF many wonder
ful cures that have been credited to DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. In many
cases the reported cures have been investi-
gated by the leading newspapers and veri.
fled In every possible manner Their fame
has spread to the far ends OF civilization and
there is hardly 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 a 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 $50 cents a
box, or six boxes for S2.50-they are never
sold in bulk or by the 1907 by addressing

A Tree That Owns Land.

There is a tree at Athens, Ga,
which is a property holder. In the
early part of the century the land on
which it stands was owned by Colonel
W. II. jackson, who took great delight
in watching its growth and enjoying
its shade. In his old age the tree had
reached magnificent proportions, and
the thought of its being destroyed by
those who would come after him was
so repugnant that he recorded deed
conveying to it all land within ra-
dius of eight feet of it.

Paper Guns.

Paper guns have frequently been
suggested as feasible, but have, until
now, existed only in theory. Paper
pulp, when compressed, is more elastic
than metal, and can be made practic-
ally as durable. Only the body OF
the cannon of which am speaking is
of paper, the core being of metal, and
the outside wound round with five lay
ers OF copper, brass, and steel wire,
and final covering of brass bands.
With a gun of this kind the chances OF
its bursting are considerably less than
they are with metal cannon, by
reason of the tendency it has to ex-
pand when fired. Moreover, it COM
parative lightness commends it's use
tor field service and for rapid trans
portation and all that sort of thing. -

HOW PAuPERs ARE MADE IN LONDON.

The Westminster Gazette gives an ac-
count OF the following scene recently OBJ
served by correspondent in the southwest
OF London: crowd of children, mostly
dirty and ragged. jostling at the entrance Of
a public house: two bigger girls, one with
shawl over her head and baby in her arms,
abusing each other, and breaking OF to
dance. Packets Of sweets in most OF the
hands, some scrambling for the dropped
ones, / asked, "Where did you get all those
sweets2" Silence. Then taller child said,
From Mr.. -; he guv 'em as Christmas
box so | opened the door and watched,
The public was full of children, and Mr.. -
was handing out his packets, and apparently
trying to prevent repeated applications.
Ihis is how we make our paupers-just as
the constant music at the doors Of the pub
lies draws children and lads and girls, who
end by going in. l have watched them
often. II the publican wants TO give sweets,
why doesn't he do it elsewhere than across
the bar"

GENERAL SCOTT AND TEMPERANCE.

General Scott was In command at Rock
Island when the cholera broke out there,
and, after various injunctions in his order
as to sobriety and cleanliness, he added this
curious paragraph, which was recently print
ed in the Magazine Of American History:
'1n addition to the foregoing, the senior
surgeon present recommends the use of fan
mel underclothing, and wooden stockings;
but the commanding general, who has seen
much OF disease, knows that it is intemper-
ance which, in the present state of the at
mosphere, generates and spreads the ealam-
tty, and that when once spread, good and
temperate men are likely to take infection.
"He therefore peremptorily commands that
every soldier or ranger who shall be found
dru..k or sensibly intoxicated after the pub
ltcation Of this order be compelled, as soon as
his strength will permit, 10 dig grave at a
suitable burying place, large enough for his
own reception, as such grave cannot fan soon
to be wanted for the drunken man himselfor
some drunken companion. This order is
given as well to serve for the punishment of
drunkenness as to spare good and temperate
men the labor of digging graves for their
wor. r.hless companions"

THE CHURCH AND THE LIQUOR rRAyy1o.

In respect to the attitude of the Church re-
lating to this question, 1t would not be true
to say that, as body the Church has sur
rendered to the liquor oligarchy. II is true
to say that 1t is so seriously crippled as to
prevent any successful warfare Let US,
however, be just; the Church is the greatest
foe the liquor dealers face to-day; the deliv-
erances of its chief councils are strong and
unequivocal; its ministry as a body is by no
means tongue-tied or paralyzed, but its
weakness lies in its want of unity and in the
application of practical remedies. When it
attempts to marshal its forces to attack this
greatest foe of society, these forces scatter;
they have not yet learned the art Of Christian
soldiery, nor the full meaning Of Christian
citizenship. Practically the interests OF the
kingdom yield to the demands Of party. 1t is
much easier TO pat into the ballot-box the
printed party ballot than 1t is to put In the
Sermon on the Mount, or even the resolutions
passed by ecclesiastical councils.
What is most wanted is sturdier type Of
Christian men. We need Christian men with
Christian principles practically applied. The
Church and its members Individually must
be raised to that high level-Rev O. h

t'Korea, ths country which has
caused all the trouble between China
and Japan, has many queer social GUS
toms, said ]. A. Morrill,, the traveller,
'and remesber going TO a banquet
given by q member OF the foreign Of
fee there, which, in many respects,
was quite unique. The guests arrived
long before the dinner hour, for in
Korea an affair of this kind lasts all
day, and we're ushered into pavilion
adjacent TO the one in which the din
ner was to be served. Alter several
half hours had been whiled away In
smoking and in conversation, the din
ner was at last announced, and we
were summoned into the other hall.
As soon as we had entered, the officials
began to divest themselves Of some Of
their clothing, for part of q natives
wearing apparel seriously incommode
him in taking food. We took our
places at n large rectangular table,
which was heaped with food OF all
kinds in brazen dishes OF hemisphere
cal shape. For the first course we
had soup and sui, which is a kind of
wine, and for the second the walters
handed around some Of the other
dishes which stood on the table. These
contained meats OF various kinds,
beef, pork and fried fish cut in thin
slices. At this juncture there entered
several Korean singing girls, clad in
the gaudiest costumes, and whose
business it was to make themselves
generally agreeable when at a banquet,
for they constitute all the female So
ciety that there is in that country.
Their singing was not what an Ameri-
can would call good, nor was their
dancing, but their conversation and
presence certainly added zest 10 the
occasion.
'Iong rs it is, Korean banquet
eventually comes TO an end, and this
one closed with q decoction of pear
juice colored crimson and spiced with
pine nuts. This we slipped at our
leisure, while the attendants lighted
pipes for us. After Watching the
performances of the singing girls, we
summoned our chairs and we're car
ried to our various homes, at least
feeling much wiser by having partici-
pated in one of the queer customs OF q
queer people. New York Advertiser.

TEMPERANCE.


II YOU KNEW.
II you knew the dreadful story OF that
sparkling cup you're draining,
How It drags man from virtue down TO
dark perdihon's brink.
Yes and wrecks his brain and body, leaves
no trace OF good remaining
You would never dare to touch drop OF
the accursed drink.
II you knew the crime it genders, how IL
makes a man a devil
How Il prompts to deeds Of evil such as
mind could hardly think,
u you knew the sickening scenes that mark
the drunkard's midnight revel-
i know you'd never touch drop Of the
accursed drink.
II you knew the grief, the anguish, il you
heard the bitter crying
OF the piteous pleading hearts now doomed
in black despair to sink
As you saw that host of victims on RUNS
bloody altar dying
You'd swear to never touch drop Of the
accursed drink.
II you knew how many souls were hasting
on to woes infernel
II you knew how hell rejoiced as each form
staggers DER the brink
You would pledge your sacred honor at the
throne of the Eternal
That you'd never, never stain your soul
with the accursed drink.
God forgive the man or woman who by
thoughtless word or doing
Dares uphold the glittering wine cupl Let
that man or woman think
Ihat ne who thus approveth hath become
with guilt accruing
A partaker in the evil OF the soul-destroy-
ing drink.

The largest telegraph Office in the
world is that of London, England. 1t
is located in the general postoffice
building and contains more than 5000
operators, of whom 1000 are women.
The latter have room to themselves
and do their work with Morse instru-
ments, with registers and reels. In
the other parts of the office all sorts
of instruments are used, the Hughes
printing instruments being the most
popular. In Paris 1000 opera tors are
employed, one-half of whom are
women.-New York Dispatch.

AM INDIAN Song Of the RevoIutIOn.

CAPTAIN Sopiel Selmore, tribal chief
of the Passamaquoddies, was recently
elected to the Maine branch of the
SoSiety of the Sons of the American
Revolution. He is not only the de-
scendant of patriot, but one of the
few living sons of revolutionary hero,
his father, Captain Selmore Soctomah,
having been one of band of fifty In-
dians who captured an armed British
schooner in Passamaquoddy Bay dur
ing the Revolution and delivered her
to Colonel John Allen, the American
commander. He was also engaged in
scouting duty during both the Revo-
lutionary aud 1912 wars. The great
grandfather of Captain Selmore was

ere at Norridgewock. ATLANTA Con-

The finest lager beer made anywhere in
the world is the Munich beer, OF Germany.
But now comes from DR.. Bollinger very
strange statement. II is that there are few
adult persons in Munich with sound hearts
and kidneys, and he attributes il to Munich
beer. 1t overloads the heart and the strain
weakens it. 1t overtaxes the kidneys, and
they are injured. Formerly the healthy
peasants from the country came into the city
In numbers sufficient to keep up the stamina
OF the citizens, but now the beer is sent into
the country and the peasant population have
weak hearts and kidneys too. There is no
remedy for this but total abstinence. So
long as people believe in its harmlessness
they will use it. 1t seems an absolute ne
cessity to spread knowledge of its effects.
and then if people go on using il they must
suiier the consequences and can blame only
themselves.

MADAME PArrI on ALCOHOLIC sr1mu1ANTs.

Madame Patti has uttered some strong
convictions on the effect of alcoholic LIQUORS
on the human voice. She thinks anyone
who aspires to success as a vocalist should
be total abstainer She says: 'Alcoholie
stimulants Of any kind tend to irritate the
throat, and should be entirely abstained
from. Even light wines are no exception TO
this rule. Most people are familiar with the
hoarse voice Of the hard ddnker, and It is
often said OF such an individual that he has
burnt his throat with drink. Even a mod
crate use Of alcohol may, therefore, tend to
make the voice husky. Thus all indications
point to total abstinence

The Delectable Crane Fruit.

variously known as the shaddock and
the grapefruit in this country, as the
pumeto in China, and botanically as
the citrus decumana, was first made
known to Western palates by certain
Captain Shaddock, who was in the
East Indian trade. Why the Florida
fruit growers should have named it
the grapefruit is mystery. These
growers, though they have not in
creased the size of the fruit, have i'm
proved it's quality, producing fruit
of finer flavor and more juicy than the
original. New York Post.
