SAVED HIS WIFE.
Remarkable Result OF an Ad-

Death Was Near When Mr.. Peck
Read 1t.
He Was With the Bridgeport
Brass Co.

M. M Peck is a Bridgeport man, living
for many years on East Main street, and
who for eight years was in the employ OF
the Bridgeport Brass company. He
writes:
''About five years ago we lost q child
while my wife was approaching con-
finement and in her delicate state the
shock brought on nervous prostration.
My wife has never been the same since.
The nerves of the stomach being affect,

dyspepsia. Her suffering was awful.
Why even the whites Of a couple of eggs
distressed her SO that she was forced
to give UP all work.
Gases In the stomach at the same
time affected her heart until 1t seemed
that death would result at any moment.
Last April I saw Puritana adver-
tised in paper and was attracted by
the name of DIR. Crosby. which is wen
known in our family. At the suggestion
Of my wife we tried Puritana.

astounding. Before one bottle was used
a change for the better was noticeable

Now. after several bottles, she eats
three good meals day and food does
not distress her in the least.
Before trying Puritana, we had at
different times tried four doctors in
Bridgeport to no effect
II have convinced several friends by
my firm belief in Puritana and gladly
give my testimony to the4public in the
hope that others may receive the same
benefits that Puritana has brought to
my wife,

first person IN Bridgeport to try Puri-

A STRONG pRorecr.oNlsTs.
A Former Portland Mans Success in
Chicago.

Mr.. FL. B. Parker has written for the
American Commercial Traveller an
article on the practical results of protec-
ton.
Mr.. Parker who went to Chicago from
Portland, in 1869, and at once secured
position as general salesman in the house
of Field, Letter & Co., now Marshall
Field & Co.. has been with that concern
sver since. He is considered one Of the
firms most valued employees and controls
an immense trade throughout Illinois,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. He
makes two trips annually over this terri
tory, not for the purpose of selling goods
but simply to give the firm the benefit of
his valuable opinion in regard to the
business situation and general outlook.
Aside from this connection with NJ ar
shall Field & Co., Mr.. Parker is largely
interested in Building and Loan assooia
ton matters. He was the original starter
of the Peoples Building and Loan asso-
citation, which was organized in 1878.
He paid the first $50, and this was the
original capital. Mr.. Parker gave this
association much of his attention, and as
result of his wise counsel 1T grew into
a rich and powerful organization.
Twelve years ago, Mr.. Parker closed his
relations with the Peoples and organized
the Chicago Permanent Building s. Loan
association. He was elected PRESIDENT
and still holds that Office. Under his
management it has swelled its capita
from $11. 200 to $780, 600. and has paid out
in maturing stock alone more than 81,
100000. Mr. Parker is q Republican,
sound money advocate, and as his article
denotes. is strong protectionist.

But. despite this temporary inconven-
fence, he keenly appreciates the advant-
ages OF possessing family, since he is
thereby assured Of support in old age,
especially If he be the happy father of

son -in-law shall live with his wife's par
ents and contribute to their welfare and
prosperity. The Dyak does not share the
European suspicion Of mothers in Jaw

from wife with an uncomfortable
mamma. Altogether, it is undeniable
that the subjects Of his Highness the

THE CHURCHES AND PREACHERS.
What Free Coinage Would Do to Them
(Harper's WeekIy.l


There are in this country nearly 112. 600
olergymen in the various religious com :
munions, including both Protestant and
Roman Catholic. These men are in
trusted with vast RESPONSE ility. The
churches which they represent have
chosen them as their standard bearers
in the occupation of their pulpits, the
management of their missionary and
other great charities. and, with rare ex-
captions, the editorial conduct of their
press. Nearly all the denominational
educational institutions of the United
States are in the hands of the clergy,
the men being placed in these important
positions because of the confidence of
the churches in the ability and charac-
ter of the inoumbents.
All these people live on fixed salaries.
When one of them does not need his
salary, having private resources, the
case is not altered. His office ia salaried
and it is only an incident, and rare
one, when the occupant is independenu
of it. If the salary, instead of being
paid In dollars equivalent to gold. as is
now the fact, should be reduced by cut
of forty-seyen cents on every dollar, what
would become of the support of this i'm
Mense number of educated leaders of
thought? They would have to buy with
only fifty-three cents what now they
have one hundred cents to buy with. 1t
would be practically QUITTING every
salary in two in the middle.
RllG wOutd the salaries of fhAEa 11Q 000
clergy be increased by the prevalence of
free silverf They would not. OF all
salaries in American life, tbose of the
clergy are least likely to be affected by
any ascending scale. They do not re-
spond in any material degree to improve
slightly even taking the comparison by
decades into account. The precedent of
one year, In the salary Of clergy man, is
the standard for another and another for
definite periods. 1t is not likely, with
the startling facts Of ecclesiastical his
tory before us, that single salary of an
American clergyman would be advanced
in proportion to the actual cutting of the
purchasing power OF the salary now re-
ceived.
Besides, the churches are con iucting
vast missionary, ohuroh-building, Bible
circulation, UNCONVENTIONAL school and
many other forms of activity. They
must do 1t all themselves, OF the free will
of the communicates, as not dollar
comes from the United STATES treasury.
Take the most numerous Protestant body
as an illustration. namely the Methodist
Episcopal.
The total amount Of money raised by
this one church during the year 1894 was
over 1874, 000,O The minimum of loss
en- tailed by the foistina of FREQ silver
upon this Important church would be
nearly $l2, 600, 600. The. same ratio Of. loss
would come to all our churches.
The Roman Catholic church would be
one of the worst sufferers. Imagine the
loss to the clerical support, monasteries,
asylums, converts. protectories and
schools Of all gradesl The change of the
standard to free silver would simply
paralyze this immense-work of humane
and educational life to an extent that
would be felt in every nook and corner
of the land.

A HOG ORCHESTRA.
How y French Musician Made the Squeal-
ers Sing q Tune.

During the reign of Louis XI Of France
there was attached to his court one Abbot
de Baigne, man of considerable wit. The
abbot was somewhat unsteady inclined
and delighted the court with inventions OF
odd musical instruments. One day the
king, after having enjoyed a hearty laugh
over one of these curious contrivances and
desiring to baffle this musical genius,
commanded him to produce harmonious
sounds from the cries of hogs. This seem
ed an impossibility 10 the king, and he
prepared himself To enjoy the discontinue
of the abbot. Much to his surprise, how
ever the abbot readily agreed To produce
them. All he required was u sum of mon
ey, upon receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard in the way of musical atrocity
He secured the country and secured u
large number of hogs, trying their voices
as to pitch and quality, and finally, hav-
ing fully satisfied himself, no arranged the
animals In "A sort Of pavilion richly deco
rated. The day Of the trial arrived, and
the king and his court entered the pavil-
ion prepared for something, but greatly in
doubt as to the success of the abbot with
the hogs
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and, much to the surprise and de-
light of the king, they commenced TO cry
harmoniously and in good tune, rendering
an air that was fairly recognized. The abb
bot had arranged series OF stops that
were connected with the hogs, and upon
pulling one Of them out caused spike to
prick the hog it connected with, making
him squeal his note. The rest was easy, for
by pulling out the different stops he pro
duced the tune.-Round Table
