The Terrible Ordeal of a Mother-Her

A very grateful mother is Mrs. i. l.

for the wonderful cure which her dauEn-
ter has received by the use Of DIT. WI

by using Pink Pills. thanks to a kind
friend who recommended them 10 me.

She had the care of the best physicians

spared TO give her relief. She was 50
thin that she was fairly skin and bones,
her digestion was out of order and she had
/ the most awful headaches. We gave up
all hope of her recovery. Her long, thin,
listleSs face made me nearly crazy, and
we did everything in our power TO give
her strength and induce her TO take an IN

'One day a friend told me about Pink
Pills, and Mr. Hardness went down town
and got three boxes. She had taken about
one box. when, to my amazement, one
morning l heard her playing on the piano.

CARE OF The INVALID.
How to Make Life in the Sick Room
as Bright as Posi- BILE.


as Bright as Possible.
Give the room which has the best
means of ventilation and the most sun
shine to the invalid.
Have dark green Holland shades at
the windows. Green tempers the glare
of the sun in a way very soothing TO
tired eyes.
Have a big screen in the room which
may be used either TO shut out the
bright light when the patient wishes
to sleep or TO keep off draughtS when
the windows are raised and lowered.
Change the bed linen as often rs pos
sible Once day is not too often. In
making the bed he sure that the under
sheet is stretched as tight and smooth
as Il drum cover. Wrinkles in the I'M
der sheet cause continual discomfort
and sometimes sores.

The Human-Eaced Crab.

One of the most singular-looking crea-
lures that ever walked the earth, says
DR.. Shiesof, is the famous man-faced
crab Of Japan. Its body is hardly an
inch in length, yet the head Is fitted with
a face which is the perfect counterpart
of that of a Chinese coolic-with eyes,
nose and mouth all clearly defined. This
curious creature, besides the great like
ness it bears 10 human being in, the
face. is provided with two legs. which
seem 20 grow from the top of its head
and hang down over the sides OF, its
face. Besides these legs, two teelerS'
each about an inch in length. grow
from the chin of the animal. looking for
all the world like a forked beard. These
man-faced crabs literally swarm in the

light of hundred incandescent lights
In the pariors of the Ryan last evening,
p and for two hours received hundreds
of friends and admirers.
The man was Gen. Ivan N Walker,
commander in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic; a soldier distinguished
both in his record and in his personal
bearing.
The woman was Mrs. Gen. John A.
Logan, that dear old lady who is the
recipient of the love of every American,
and who, in her turn, loves every soul
and every object under the American
flag She, too, is distinguished person.
AS she stood there greeting one after
delight, and her kindly face was but
an index of her feelings. She was dress
ed in a rich Wine-colored gown, and
her whitened hair brushed back from
a high and beautiful brow, seemed like
a crown of silver. Both Gen. Walker
and Mrs. Logan were thrilled by COM
pick emotions. Modest and unassuming
though they both are each felt pride
in the thought that they, and those
dear to them. had been patriots when
patriots had been needed.
