PERFECT HEALTH.
How It May Be Obtained by
All.
An, Interesting Bit of History ns Told
by Travelling Man.
From the World, Cleveland, ohio.


From the World, Cleveland, Ohio.
After an extended trip lasting several
months and embracing many points of in.
terest throughout the West and South, MIR.
George Lockhart, Of Hudson, Ohio, returned
home few days ago. He is bright and
genial as ever and looks as II his long holi-
day had thoroughly agreed with him.
MIR. Lockhart's business during his travels
took him frequently to Hot Springs and
other health resorts. He does not appear to
have been very favorably impressed with
the peculiarites of life at such places, nor
with the benefits received by the patients.
"Men go there to get cured of dis ase," says
he. "Hhey take one hot bath in the morn
ing and spend the rest of the day generally
In drinking, gambling and general dissipa-
ton. How they eau expect TO recover un-
der such treatment passes my comprehen-
sion: But they are, as rule, what the
world calls good fellows, free with their
money and bent on enjoying themselves.
"With one man, however, whom j met at
such place formed what hope will prove
a permanent friendship. 1 am indebted to
aim for benefits which have left on my
mind n feeling of the strongest gratitude.

slight lameness in my right leg, contracted
about year ago, had gradually become
worse until was compelled to go around on
crutches all the time. Then my general
uedlUn IullOu, unUll III UIlo DdTU OF the
summer l had about concluded to come
home to die. Such n state of affairs as you
will easily understand, was anything but
comfortable. / was, in fact, neither more
nor less than a helpless invalid, q nuisance
TO myself and everybody around me. IL was
at this juncture that one day on the train
fell into conversation with the man men,
tion. He recommended me to try DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills. l did 80. You see the
result"
And Mr.. Loclshart expanded his broad
chest and smiled. "Look here" he con-
tinued, as he took Off his hat and holding it
on a level with his head, kicked it easily
with the foot that used to be lame. No bet
ter picture of perfect health and abounding
animal spirits could be wished for than this
one-time Invalid.
"My future movements are uncertain" !"
said Mr.. Lockhart at parting. "I will re-
main in Hudson for some time, but before
the summer Is over expect to make visit
to Europe"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also n
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect
a radical cure in al cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or eXcesses of
whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes never in loose bulk) at SO cents a
box or six boxes for $3.50, and may be had
of all druggists, or direct by mail from DIR.

Maritime aarnes.

Corp. George Green, of company II,
Eleventh Ohio infantry, and Private II.
r. Howard, of the same company, were
among the first to scale the upper line
of the confederate breastworks on Mis-
sionary Ridge. They made right for
one Of. the enemy's flags, in the face of
a fire, and, driving its protectors from
it, Green tore the emblem from its stall,
put it in the breast of his coat, and con-
tinued on with his company in the pur.
suit. AT the conclusion of the battle
he turned the flag over to Brig. Gen.
.Turshin, and received his compliments.
Both Green and Howard were recon,-
mended by Col. Street for promotion as
a reward for their valor. Willie Magee
was the drummer boy of company &,
Thirty-third New Jersey regiment.
When the charge was made by the
Union troops on the confederate artil-
Iery during the fighting in front of
Murfreesboro, Willie went with the as.
rsaulting party and the heroism of the
lad was an inspiration to the assaulting
party. He was the pet of the regiment

tho Valparaiso Meeting.
The Kankakee valley land owners or
their agents met the other day at Han
ma, Ind, to discuss the various plans
which have for 40 years been offered
for the draining of the valley. 1t was
very representative crowd. The COM
mittee on resolutions offered in sub
stance that the meeting be Incorporated
under the laws of Indiana; that a COM
mittee engage an engineer to make
survey of different routes offered; this
report and an estimate cost of the work
to be presented to the land owners and
if majority deem this estimate and
plan satisfactory they were to petition
the commissioners of the different coun-
ties which the river affects to appoint
three commissioners to assess the BEN
efits of all lands improved. The report
was accepted. James Burke, of Chica-
go, and Nelson Morris, who he repre-
scented, and others endeavored to have
the committee begin the work first by
removing the obstruction of rock in
the river in Illinois and then cutting
off the bends of the river. AS the mat
ter now stands st. Joseph, La Porte
and Starl1e counties, of the seven which
are partially submerged by the Kanka-

ADVENTURE OF AN ARMY NURSE
Her Narrow Escape from Capture by
Confederates.

A1cE VNhTEo" ESCAPE from Capture DY

Mrs. NJ. V. Harlin, in an autobio-
graphical sketch contributed to "Our
Army Nurses" relates lively adventure
which befell her near Corinth, Miss
The hospital in which she was a nurse
contained few patients, and one day,
feeling the need of outdoor exercise,
she asked the doctors permission to go
to ride. This was readily granted, but
coupled with it was an injunction not
to go far, lest she should fall into the
hands of the enemy.
l was well mounted, she says, and
feeling that there could be no danger
l wanted to enjoy my liberty to the ut
most. So away l went, with my little
orderly at my side, and soon turned into
a pleasant road, shaded with beautiful
trees and leading almost north.
My horse was fresh and eager, and we
dashed on. AT last we saw soldiers;
but they were our own men, and, of
course, was not afraid of them.
As l flew by, as fast as my horse
would go, thought heard voices call
ing; but paid no attention and rode on
for as much as two hours, when came
to large ravine that cut the road in
two.

A given fowl may be perfect in most
sections, but not one has ever been
found that was perfect in all of them.
The nearest to a perfect fowl that has
ever been scored was 991h points, if 1
remember correctly, and the fowl was
sold for 5000.
1t may be asked what all this has to
do with practical qualities. 1t must be
confessed that the STANDARD" does not
encourage any breeder to breed with a
view to anything but color of feather
and weight, and that it does not put
any premium on egg production. This
is the weak point in it, and will be until
that is remedied and encouragement is
given to the breeders to look to egg pro-
duction.
AS matters now stand, the breeder of
pure-bred fowls is compelled to regard
shape and color before anything else,
and it requires the sacrifice of "Stand-
ard" points sometimes in order to keep
the best layers. AS long as this state of
affairs lasts the "fancier" will be handi-
capped in his work of improving fowls
and producing egg-laying strains. The
pure breeds come into favor because
they are good layers in the first place,
and keep in front because they transmit
this tendency to their progeny, but i'm
provement will not go on as rapidly
under the present system as it would
II some inducement was made to pro-
duce egg-laying strains first and beauty
afterward.-Farm and Fireside.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE POULTRY STANDARD.
rhs Explanation of How the "Judging"
of fowls Ia Done.


of Fowls Is Done.
The american Standard of Perfec1
ton" is book containing list of every
recognized breed of poultry, and of the
varieties of the several breeds. 1t de-
scribes in detail the proper color and
shape of an ideal fowl, and gives cer-
tain value to the shape and plumage in
every part of the body of this ideal fowl.
The body of the fowl is arbitrarily di-
vided into parts, called sections, and
each section is given such value that il
all of them were perfect in shape and
color the total would be 100 points,
which is perfection. AS no fowl is ideally
perfect, the sections are given so high a
value that it is altogether improbable
that any fowl will ever be perfect in
every part, and therefore no fowl will
ever reach perfection. Expert judges
are employed to examine poultry
that is exhibited at poultry shows and a
good many of the fairs, and they pick
out the defects and mark them against
the fowls under examination, section
after section, and when this is finished,
the value of the defects is added up and
the tctal deducted from perfection (100),
and the remainder is the score of the
bird. When bird scores less than S5
it is called disqualified, and cannot be
considered in the awarding of prizes.
The description used in the "Stand-
ard" are copyrighted, and we cannot
use them, but to give you an idea of how
the judging of poultry is done, we will
imagine that there is a breed called
