Wells, Richardson & Co., Burling-
ton, VT: Gentlemen-I take much
pleasure in being able to add my mite
to the great mass of testimony in praise
of Paine's celery compound.
In November last I found myself
much run down by overwork. For sew
eral weeks had been obliged to work
eighteen hours daily out Of the twenty
four, and was in consequence in state
of physical and nervous exhaustion.
At the suggestion of friend l COM
menced the use Of Paine's celery COM
pound, with the result that my strength
has steadily improved, and find my.
self in far better health than have
known for years.
believe also that it has enabled nae
to escape my periodical attack OF rheu-
matism, as every season since that time
with the advent of the cold, damp
weather, I have suffered severely from
that disease in chronic form. So far
this winter l have escaped without a
single twinge Of my old enemy. l
very cheerfully recommend it to any
one in similar need, in the full belief
that it will be helpful in every case.
Very sincerely yours, A. A. Bennett

At the close of the civil war a volun-

of his acquaintance that he had applied
for a commission in the regular army
and asked for letter indorsing the
application. The regular officer assured
the volunteer that he could say nothing
that would be Of service in the matter,
but the applicant persisted, and ex-
tracted promise Of letter to be de-
livered to him at once. The letter was
in these terms:

SMASHED BY WAVES.
Notions of Steamship Captains Ex'
pIoded by Recent Occurrences.

Notions of Steams ship Captains Ex'
pIoded by Recent Occurrences.
Times was when shippers hooted at
the idea that tidal wave could In any
degree affect the big twin-screw ocean
liners. This impression, however, Is
an exploded one, for it was discovered
some three years ago that the huge
waves might prove terrors to them.
The steamship Normannia had an ex-
toward changing the opinions of skept-
ical six-day shippers. 1t Is easy now
for the nautical theorists to explain
some of the d appearances Of big ships.
The ocean in angry mood is powerful
enough to smash the stanchest liner,
just as it probably did smash the
high-sided twin-screw freighter Naron-
ic and the National liner Erin.
The Normannia was in the middle Of
the gulf stream, about go miles east
of Sandy Hook. The current of the
Gulf, running at force estimated 10
be about four miles an hour, flows to
east-northeast at this point. Tie gale
had been blowing directly against the
current. To this opposition of gale and
current is attributed the creation Of
the phenomenal wave which struck the
steamship. All the passengers were in
their staterooms, either asleep or sea-
sick, when the Normannia, going at
three-quarters speed, rose on the crest
of mighty sea- 1t broke under her
stern just as she slid down the green
declivity, and it lifted the stern up so
that she plunged almost at an angle Of
forty-five degrees into the trough.
Just then a mightier sea than the
first curled above the ships bow 1t
rose so suddenly that the big ship had
not time to recover from her plunge
down the easterly incline of the first
monster before the second struck her.
Before the engines could be stopped the
wave had broken aboard. The crest
Of the huge wave touched the crows
nest, which is about seventy-nine feet
above the water level. The Roadway
Of the ship in ordinary weather would
have been only slightly checked SO soon
after the stopping of the engines. When
the wave struck her she came to a
stop as suddenly and almost as vio-
lently as If she had run aground. Near
ly all who were in their berths were
tumbled out by the shock.
A moment later the cabin passengers
and officers found themselves up to
their necks, waists or knees In cold salt
water. There was, naturally, a rush
for the deck. The general impression
was that there had been collision and
lAat the ship was sinking.
The iron beams of the deck were
broken by the thunderous trip-hammer
blow of the wave, which broke clean
through the port half of the forward
end of the deckhouse. Every object
that the wave hit except the foremost
was smashed or twisted. Fourteen
ventilators were bent out Of shape. Que
was f1attened as if it had been through
a rolling mill.-London Leader.
