Malaria and Rheumatism.

r,,or, ina Journal, Wilmington. Ohio.
A few days sfnce a represent tive et--
+he Journal drove out to Melvin TO see
Mrs. John Arrasmith. In the course OF
the conversation, Mrs. A detailed the
facts of her cure:
last .JuIv.'' said she, from undue
axnos,,re in my work about the farm,
I contracted malarial fever and rheu-
matism and suffered from the illness
greatly. / could not throw it OF, ana
although constantly attended by local
nbvsicians. continued to grow worse.
In September l caught severe cold'
which greatly increased my other
troubles, and taking to my bed tnere
l lay for months. The rheumatism
grew more aggravated, and for elght
Iong weeks nrior to last Christmas ]
was perfectly helpless, my limbs below
the hips being as if paralyzed, and !
having no use CT them whatever !
could not help myself in any way, and
was not able to even turn over IN bed
unless my husband or some one else
came and turned me. Medicines winch
the physicians left did no good, ana
nothing l could take afforded any re-
lief. l was discouraged and feared
that never again would ee up ano
about the house. 1t was anything but
a bright prospect, for I was but TWEEN
ty years old, and had been married
only two years, and my life was before
me and to go through it a helpless
cripple a burden to my friends, was
fearful fate to think of.
ST had read in the Wilmington Jour-
nal from time to time, articles telling
of the wonderful cures which had been
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
and had become impressed with the
cases where they had caused persons
! to walk and recover who had been as
| HELPLESS as was Consulting my hus-
| band, we determined to give them
| trial. So he drove into Wilmington,
| and. going to the drug store Of George
| w. Brown, bought three boxes of the
pills. I began taking them immediate
ly on his return. That was about the
| first of the present year. Before the
| first box was gone l began TO reanze
that I was getting better, and by the
time / finished the second box the
pain with which / had been suffering
for nearly six months and the disease
which had made me helpless for eight
weeks disappeared entirely, and I got
ND. I took the third box of the pills
and have never felt twinge of rheu-
natism since, and am doing my daily
work and feeling as we'll as anybody.
Sworn to before me and subscribed
in my presence, at Wilmington, Ohio,
this 29th day of June, 1895.

He was immaculate as to externals,
and he was coming down Fifth avenue.
She was a charming bit of feminin-
ity as New York can offer-which is
saying a great deal. Delicate, dainty,
trim.
He was smoking cigarette that,
judging by the smoke of it, had come
from Russia. When they met he took
his hat off lazily. Talking to her in a
tone Of condescension, he puffed the
blue smoke out constantly, the cigar
cite never leaving his lips.
|, He was standing on the corner of
Bseecker street, where the Italians
live. He had on the coarsest clothes,
his face was grimy. In his mouth
was dirty clay pipe.
An old woman. shabby and shaky,

The minute the man became aware
the old lady was addressing him he
whipped the pipe out of his mouth.

The Germans are pushing their COM
rnercial enterprises into all parts Of
the world, much to the annoyance of
British investors, who up to this time,
have seemed to have monopoly of the
trade and enterprise Of the world. Not
only Is German money being invested
in enterprises in South America, but
the German companies are obtaining
valuable concessions in Asia, especial
~ Persia. One German has obtained
concession of seventy-five years for
the construction OF railway between
Teheran and Bagdad The same in
terests have secured for ninety years
the right to establish electric or steam
railways between Teheran and villages
north OF 1t. The rapid progress OF thu
Germans in Persia Is further indieatee
by the establishment Of o steamboa
service between Bremen and Bushire
on the Persian gulf. A German bani
has also been established at BushIre.

Historical Cryptogra ms.


The discovery Of the key to the Sc.
cret message sent by the conspirators
in the Transvaal previous to the Jane
son raid. and the effect it may have
in the trials, has led James Payn to
tell about other famous cryptograms in
an article in the London Illustrated
News. One of the earliest methods
of secret writing was to shave the
head Of the messenger and write tho
message on the scalp. After the hair
had grown the messenger was sent tc
his destination, where his hair was
again removed and the message
brought to light. The SpaItans woun(
strip of paper around staff, wrote
lengthwise the staff, and when re
moved the message on the paper couit
not be read until it was wound arouI(
another staff of the same shape an{
size as the first one. Charles I. wal
beheaded through the evidence af
forded by cryptograms that were toC
simple. Sympathetic ink has beer
much used but it has always been dan
gerous. Mr.. Payn says that the onl!
thoroughly undecipherable cyptogran
is the simplest. To use it the two per
sons must have books exactly alike
Any book will do. In writing a mes
sage the first letter on the page is q
the first on the second page is b, ant
SO on. The second message will hegil
where the first leaves off in the book
