Watrus Whiskers

peculiar but profitable industry among
the natives of Alaska is the preparation and
sale of walrus whiskers for toothpicks.
Nature has armed the animal with whiskers
that extend three OF four inches out from
Its snout: and the apparent use Of which is
to enable 1T to detect the presence of an ice
berg before actual contact has taken place.
These whiskers are quite stiff, and this
quality increases with age. Alter walrus
has been killed, the natives. with the aid of
rude pincers, proceed TO pull out each sepa-
rate hair. After thorough drying, these
hairs are arranged in neat packages and ex-
ported to China, where they are considered
necessary appuTtenance of Chinaman Of
the upper class.

very low by this complication of diseases.
My wrists and ankles became swollen, my
legs distorted, and my hips sunken. Now
you can feel the cavities also thrust your
hand into my back-such were the ravages
of rheumatism.
"But this was not all. About six years
ago had stroke of paralysis which affected
my left side-but by extra care 1 recovered
somewhat from this. Three years ago I had
second stroke, which rendered me entirely
helpless. My left side was wholly useless
and | could not feel it when a pin was thrust
full length into my leg or ann. Before
paralysis set in thought was nigh to death,
but now came the horror of living death.
On account of my heart trouble, which was
aggravated by this new disease, / could not
sleep and could be placed only in one posi-
tion-bolstered up in chair reclining
slightly on my right side. Now the paraly-
sis affected my head and would remain in
that position asleep in the chair for weeks at
time without awakening. Words cannot

doctors and tried all kinds of patent mcdi-

EQUALITY TO ALL.

Special Pension Legislation VS.. General Pen
sion Laws TO Treat All Alike.
In recent debate in the National House
of Representatives Congressman Elijah A.
Morse, of Massachusetts,, expressed himself as
follows on this important subject:
Congressman Morse said:
NJ. Chairman, desire TO detain the COM
mittee only a single moment. and in that
moment i wish to say that / have good
opinion of the Chairman of the Committee
on Invalid Pensions ] believe he is just
and patriotic man. / believe he has stood
upon this floor for the old soldier in the
four Congresses of which / have been a men,
Der in season aud out of season, and that no
man loves the old soldier better, or will do
more for him than that gentleman. And
also want to say, Mr.. Chairman, that he has
undertaken, and is endeavoring to carry out,
an impossible task. believe that this whole
business is wrong. / believe that this whole
class OF legislation should be covered by gen.
eral legislation. and for that reason during the
four terms that have been in Congress- have
scarcely introduced bill of this character.
Now, tell me what justice there is i'm giving

that this whole business is wrong. The ten
dency is TO make the great mass of the PEN
sioners of the country dissatisfied with the pen
sion they are receiving. and members of Con-
Cress instead of presenting these special cases
for legislation which are downright favortism
and Injustice should abolish this system and
discourage this class Of legislation. Now, some
body says that there a class of cases hat
cannot be reached by general law. There may
be, and there few such cases, but hope

fayoritism will be taken away from the Con-
gross of the United States. Applause.

question, il he will yield.
Mr.. Morse. Certainly.
Mr.. Miles. Were you in favor of granting a
pension TO the widow of Gen. Cogswell at So
month";
Mr.. Morse. will say in answer TO the gen.
tleman that since that policy had met with
approval here, as she was a Massachusetts
woman. ] had no hesitation in voting that
pensOn TO her.
Mr.. Miles. / thank the gentleman for his
candor.
Mr.. Morse. / want TO say that If there ever
was soldier in the Union army, brave man,
a patriotic man, whose widow deserved PEN
sion, that woman is the widow of my colleague.

Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
an unfailing remedy for oil diseases arising
from a poor and watery condition ofthe blood
such as pale and sallow complexion, general
muscular weakness, loss of appetite, depres-
sion of spirits, lack of ambition, anGmia
chloross or green sickness, palpitation of the
heart, shortness of breath ON slight exertion
GOODNESS of hands or feet, swelling of the
feet and limbs, pain in the back, nervous
headache, dizziness loss of memory, feeble
ness of will, ringing in the ears, early decay,
all forms of female weakness, leucorrhoea,
tardy or irregular periods, suppression of
menses, hysteria, analysis, locomotor ataxia,
rheumatism, sciatica, all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood, causing
scrofula, swelled glands, fever sores, ricketts,,
hip-joint diseases, hunchbacb, acquired de-
formities, decayed bones chronic eryspelas,
catarrh, consumption of the bowels and
lungs. and also for invigorating the blood
and system when broken down by overwork,
worry, disease, excuses and indiseretions of
living, recovery from acute diseases, such as
fevers, etc, loss of vital powers, sperma-
torrhGa, early decay, premature old age.
These pills are not purgative medicine.
They contain nothing that could injuTe the
most delicate system. They act directly on
the blood, supplying to the blood its life-giv-
ing qualities by assisting it to absorb oxy-
gen, that great supporter of all organic life
In this way the blood, becoming" built up"
and being supplied with its lacking eOnstitu-
ents, becomes rich and red, nonrishes the
various organs, stimulating them to activity
in the performance of their functions and
thus to eliminate diseases from the system.
These pills are manufactured by he DIR.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firms trademark and wrapper, at 80 cents
a box, or six boxes for 81. 80, and are never
sold in bulk. They may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company. The price at which
these pills are sold makes a course of treat
ment inexpensive as compared with other
remedies.

Fortunately shade was gained before long.
and troop of monkeys indicated the way
our game had taken. These often aid tiger
hunter, and the royal robber, no doubt, en-
tertains sentiments toward them on such
occasions which are worthy of himself They
do not fall into ecstacies as at the sight of a
leopard. because intelligence teaches them
that in this case, trees are safe situations;
still they detest tigers, and as soon as n
monkey sees one he begins to swear"
This expression is sanctioned by common
use in India, and it perfectly expresses the
apparent tenor of their vociierations Each
little creature capers with excitement and
vents all the excavations of which he is
capable. The band accompany his steps with
revilings, and when he looks up it seems as
if they would go out of their senses.

3 In the town Of Oneonta, in Otsego County,
New York, for great many years there has
lived man whose life has beeu oyershad-
owed by that terrible disease, paralysis.
Recently it was rumored that miracle had
been performcd-that this man had been re-
stored 10 his normal health and strength.
and to ascertain the truth or falsity of such
rumor your correspondent visited Oneonta
to-day, and being directed to the man sought
an interview with him, which was readily
and cheerfuly granted. The man told his
own story as follows:
"My name is Edward Haswell You

was born II years ago in New Scotland,
Albany County. / was reared on farm and

and good health. Early in life l removed 20

years. OF the long weary marches, especi-
ally in North Carolina, of the days and nights

the barracks at Washington that my misery
began. While there heavy rains FELL and

rain. At this time / contracted cold, and
along with it came that dread disease rheu-
matsm. l rapidly grew worse, and was
removed to the hospital, where 1 was at
tended by DIR. Leonard, now of Worcester, in
this county. He made me as comfortable as
any man could, but could not shake off the
disease. 1t was in my system, and after my
return home with impaired health and

Mexico has finally followed the example SET
by the United States and has abolished all
taxes on commerce between the States. These
taxes have been in existence for many years in
Mexico, and given Use to much embarrassment

State of The War i'm Cuba.

A correspondent to tho London Times says of
the war in Cuba: 81 1t is quite useless to hide
the real situation. The whole Island is in
revolt, and the Spanish troops are merely act
ing on the defensive. 1t is impossible that
they can prevent the landing of supplies and
war materials for the rebels. Even the position
of Macco's forces, confined in Pinar del Rio, is
not OF desperate nature, as the Spaniards
make believe.
Only few isolated rebels have taken ad-
vantage OF Capt.-Gen. Weylers offer of amnesty.
