If appearances indicate health in this
man, one would think he was better
than before his paralysis.
Why says he, I began to improve
in two days, and in four or five weeks
I was entirely well and at work
Having seen these results I con-
cluded that such remedy is surely
worth a trial at the hands of any ply
sician, and consequently, when a short
time later I was called upon to treat
lady suffering with palpitation Of the
heart and great nervous prostration,
after the usual remedies failed to re-
lieve, I ordered Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. The result was simply astonish-
Ing. Her attacks became less frequent
and also less in severity, until by their
use for a period of only two months,
she was the picture of health, rosy
checked and bright-eyed as well as
ever, and she has continued so until
today, more than one year since she
took any medicine. I have found these
pills a specific for chorea or as more
commonly known, st. Vitus' dance, as
beneficial results have in all cases
marked their use. AS a spring tonic
any one who, from overwork or
nervous strain during a long winter
has become pale and languid, the Pink
Pills will do wonders in Frightening
the countenance and in buoying the
spirits, bringing roses to the pallid
lips and renewing the fountain Of
youth. Yours Respectfully,

usual treatment for this disease he
failed to improve, but on the contrary

Electricity tonics and massage, etc,

Will Give Bob a Chance.

According to dispatch from Eastonr
Md, about 20 of the farmers of Talbot
county have banded together 10 give
Bob White" a chance. They will
shoot no partridges on their farms this
fall, nor will they permit anyone else
10 do so. For several winters the
weather has been extremely severe, and
last winter, especially, a great number
of birds in Maryland and the more
northern states perished of cold and
hunger, and those that escape weather
are apt to fall prey to the pot or 9TH
er hunter. Several things initiate
against beautiful and cheerful Bob
White, and he is having a hard time
these days. As the country is more
closely cultivated, cover and refuge for
him get scarcer and scarcer. The I'M
provements in shOtguns, too, is hard
on him. With the old style guns, af-
ter hunter had brought down two
birds he had to stop while to load,
and if his fingers chanced TO be numb
with cold, the time taken to load and
fita percussion cap gave the remainder
of the flock chance to escape. But
now, with the breechloader, which
can be charged as the hunter walks
along, the entire covey Is apt to be de
stroyed If the hunter is expert. I'm
less some kind of care Is taken of the
remnant Of partridges, so that they
can increase and multiply, they will
shortly be utterly consumed from the
face of the earth.-BaltimOre Sun.

Cowardly and Dishonest.

To an audience of women in Lincoln
day before yesterday, the defeated can
didate for President expressed his con-
tempt for the verdict of the nation,
and insulted Major Mckinley in one
breath:
81 want to say to you as a private
citizens, standing among you, | will
enjoy my life for the next four years
better than any person in public posi-
ton who owes his election to corporate
agencies. In saying this | don't want
you TO single out any particular person.
| am making general statement, be-
cause / want to say to you that the
man who owes his election to any Of
fiee-from the highest office in the gift
of the nation down to the city office in
your city-who owes his Office to cor
porations who will desire to control
him when he il elected, has an Office
that any man with honorable spirit
ought to be ashamed to occupy"
This Is cowardly and dishonest innu-
endo. Cowardly, because Mr.. Bryan
d;savowed to the women any intention
of imputing to any particular per
son lack of honorable spirit, while ht
pointed his remark directly at Major
Mckinley.
Dishonest, because Mr.. Bryan knows
that Major Mckinley owes his election
not to corporations or corporate agen
cies, but to the will of the people o
( the United States. II is only clever
days since Bryan telegraphed TO Majol
Mckinley:

Superstition and Insurance.

When life insurance was first intro
duced some persons looked upon it a a
violation of divine law, which pro-
hibited any proposition to make COM
pensation for passing away 10 eternal
rest, in defiance of the will and act of
the Supreme Being. II was thought
to raise the presumption that the pol
icy writer would control life as he did
personalities, and the impression exist
ed that contract was entered into
to buy them life for a monetary con-
sideratiOn.
This superstition yet exists among
some people, illustrated As follows: An
aged col0red pastor once consulted an
insurance agent about obtaining a pol
icy upon his life. He made inquiry if
there was not some other way by
which ne could secure an inheritance
for his family, for he said, as God had
given him his life he had come to the
conclusion that il would be a violation
of religion to entrust it 20 a corporation
that had no soul, and it seemed like
tempting Providence To enter into con-
tract with a corporation on mere spec
ulation. Possibly this piOus man was
under the impression that he was on
straight transit route TO heaven and
possessed means t, enter its gates,
which might be prevented by an inn
piOus act such as he declared would be
the acceptance of the policy on his life
written by human hands. He did not
place any respect on the indemnity
promised, whether it was to be in gold
or silver Is to l, but said that he was
confident that his reward in future life
could not be granted by any man or
association.
1t is not intended to be understood
that such thesis is now prevalent in
civilized communities, for those who
neglect to make provision for those de
pendent on them after passing away
commit as great sin as the pious min
lister apprehended he would have been
guilty of had he accepted a policy on
his life.-Views.

Under Ethsr's Influence.

The doctor got out his ether appar-
atus and soon compounded smell
like photographers shop i'm olden
days, while out of the corner of my eye
could see the surgeon, who had taken
off his coat and pulled some guards
over his wrists and arms, arranging
his weapons in a neat row on the dres-
sing table. When the doctor had his
medicine ready he placed it over my
nose and mouth, with instructions to
breathe deeply two or three times.
The apparatus for giving ether consists
OF a box, in which the compound is
placed, and an oval india rubber mask,
very pliable and flexible, projecting
from it, with tap which allows com-
munication between the two parts to
bee cut off or establish at will. The
mask part was placed over my face.

but silence reigned and darkness set
tied down over me, and then red veil

that this was not death, but only the
suspension of life. Darkness was all
around; not darkness that might be

pabIe, and all pervading presence.

Transplanting Trees.

a leading authority in dendrology
favors Country Gentleman with his
views as to the best time to set trees,
also some hints on the manner of do
ing il. He writes:
Generally should transplant decid-
uous trees in autumn or spring as most
convenient, with little preference to
spring. | have transplanted ever
greens only in the spring. / should
fear that Transportation from the leaves

Sunshine il also very injurious.
doubt if any hemlock can he mads. to
live after 30 minutes Of bright sunshine
on its completely exposed roots, and l
think it is pretty much the same with
the pine.
If deciduOus trees are transplanted in
autumn before all their leaves have fall
len, or in the spring after the leaves
have started, the leaves should be most
ly removed, in order to prevent them
from exhausting the moisture in the
trees before the roots have made
sufficient connection with the ground
TO supply the required moisture. Trees
transplanted from shade TO open
sushine should have their bod
les protected from the sunshine.
Transplanted trees generally die not
from lack of food, but from want of
moisture. Trees taken up with . good
supply OF roots and set in wide, gener-
Gus holes, with puiverized soil CAREFUL
ly packed around their roots and sufIi-
GENTLY mOistened, will almost invaria-
bly, live. They may or may not re-
quire several waterings. This depends
upon the soil and the season.
1t is well to set the tree as it grew

pass. When the groand is well wet, it
is well to mulch the tree with straw.
sawdust, stones or any similar sub
stance which will keep in the moisture

many roots are broken OFF in taking up
the tree, limbs should be clipped OFF 10
correspond, lest the many leaves may
require more moisture than the roots
can furnish. Small, thrifty trees
grown in the sunshine are generally
preferable for transplanting. Earth
left upon the roots when the tree is
dug up helps to make it start readily
and grow.

How to Prevent Group.

SOMETHING THAT WILL PROVE IN
TERESrING To YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW
To GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment Is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children
who are subject to take it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure TO
follow. The first symptom is hoarse-
ness; this is soon followed by a pecul-
iarly rough cough, which is easily recog-
nized and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The tine to act is
when the child first becomes hOarse.
If Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
freely given ali tendency 20 Group will
soon disappear. Even after the eroupy
cough has developed it will prevent
the attack. There is no danger i'm Civ
ing this remedy for it contains nothing
injurious. For sale by Benford's phar-

PlGcking Fowls

PlUeking fowls may be easily and
quickly accomplished in this way As
soon as the bird is dead immersc it in
a pail of very hot water, the water to
cover all the feathers. One minute is
usually long enough TO keep the fowl
under hot water too long soaking is
liable to discolOr the skin. After this
hot bath the feathers are so lOOsened
that they can be almost rubbed of.
The bird is then rinsed in cold water
and wiped with soft cloth. 1t should
then be put into cotton bag kept for
this purpose, and hung in "a cool place.
When fowls are not to be used at once
they should always be loosely rolled in
cloth or paper to keep them from turn
ing dark. Ducks cannot be managed
in this way, as their feathers contain
so much oil that the water does not
, penetrate them.
