Work Among the Lepers That Has Al
ready Produced Good Results.
Valuable work is being done by de-
voted Catholic priests among the lepers
or Burmah, says the London Times.
The annexation of Upper Burmah in
1886 revealed terrible need for succor
to this unhappy class. Bishop Simon,
r. c., addressed the officials on the
subject within two years after the coun-
try passed under British rule, but it
was not until 1891 that Father Johann
Wehlnger was able to found the st.
Johns Leper asylum on grant of six
acres near Mandalay
In Burmah lepers are not forbidden to
frequent public places and are not sep
arated from their families as i'll India.
They lie at the gates Of the temples, in
the food bazars and on the sides of the
bridges, where they expose their hid
eously mutilated limbs to excite COM
passion and obtain aims. An asylum
for these miserable objects was hailed
with gratitude. In two days after 1t
was opened the wards were crowded
and new buildings had to be COM
menced.
Father Wehinger has made the insti-
tuition model for all leper asylums-
with a perfect system of hygiene and
measures for the alleviation or even
curative treatment of the disease, sep
arate wards for the unaffected children
Of leprous parents and a yernacular
school for their education. During last
year 600 lepers were on the rolls and
the demand for fresh wards grew ur-
gent. Father Wehinger came to the
end of his resources. All that self
denial and devotion could achieve he
has accomplished.
He is now, we believe, in England,
seeking aid to enable him to go on with
his work, 1t is a work which can most
effectively be done by celibate breth-
rem, without the responsibility of wife
or possible children to whom the dis
ease might be communicated. Johann
Wehinger is the Father Damien of
India.

Grateful Women Write Us Letters.

} From every corner of the country
I come thankful letters written by those
who have been lifted into cheerful, vig-
orous, healthy strength by DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands of women
have been relieved of the -nagging
drag of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the humiliating
exposure OF examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotyped treatment by "local
applications " is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit to them.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
| the system. 1t exeats wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
! over woinan's delicate organism. 1t is
all invigorating tonic for the whole sys-
tenn, and is almost an infallible specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, irregulari-
ties and painful arrangements of woman
10 these causes may be traced the
trouble OF tired, nervous, irritable worn
out women. Careless, easy-going doctors
frequently treat their women patients fol
biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, livei
or kidney troubles, when the real sick
ness is in the organs distinctly feminine
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in botl

Pat Wouldn't he Cheated.

A well-known scientist, walking
along a London street, came across an
itinerant astronomer, and applying his
eye to the instrument was astonished to
see a beautiful full moon, although at
the time the moon was only III her sec
ond quarter. The instrument was not n
telescope at all, but simply tube, with
a hole where the eye-piecc should be
and a transparent photograph of a full
moon with light behind it at the other
end On the scientist asking the exhib-
itor how he could SO cheat the public the
man simply remarked: Its all right,
sir. used to have proper scope once,
but turned 1t UP for this after an Irish
man pitched into Inc for showing him
only 'arf moon. This way pays better
and gives more satisfaction.

ONE SERIOUS EFFECT.
OF the Recent Republican Victory in the

Or the Recent Republican Victory in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
1t was somewhat early in the morning
when the Washington Star reporter
dropped into the wet-goods department
OF popular downtown hotel, where
there is always to be found southern
contingent-in the hotel, not the w:
&. department-and standing at the
counter there he saw well-known
Kentuckian of the older school. 1t was
about ten days after the election news
had been received from Kentucky, and
the Kentuckian's brow was not crown
ed with sunlight or laurels. On the con-
trary, it was swathed in heavy gray
clouds. 1t may be explained here that
the reporter was not in that locality
after drink, but after man who was
after a drink. AS he stood talking to
him, his attention was attracted by the
Kentuckian's talk to the barkeeper, who
had showed well-worn black bottle
out in front of his customer.

the surprised barkeeper. ITS the
same Kentucky brand you've been
using for years."
Il know it," he said, regretfully,
"but ever since Kentucky went repub-
lican it doesn't seem to taste natural,
and I've got to try something else.
Suppose you give me a little of that
Maryland rye"
Certainly, SIR" said the barkeeper,
deferentially, and turned to get it, but
stopped half way.
Excuse me, sir" he ventured, but
didn't Maryland go that way, too?"
The Kentuckian thrummed on the
counter with his knuckles nervously.
That so, that's so" he mused; then
he broke out fiercely: Il wonder If I've
got to drink water" and walked out OF
the place Indignantly.

Opening a Sluice Gate

Relieves a dam of a uperabundance of

gate of the system, and serve TO carry off
superfuities which would otherwise food

this avenue of escape. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters opens it and relieves the system
This it does gently and gradually, but
completely, and does not, like violent
purgative, gripe, convulse and drench the
bowels, and leave them weak and unfit
for efficient service afterwards. On the
contrary, it insigorates and regulates at
the same time that it relieves them. 1t
also strengthens and imparts activity to

 Mrs. Jones has been confined to her bed with rheumatic fever at her home, 1 Spring Hill, for several weeks, and her sons wife of the same place is very sick with spinal difficulty and has been for weeks. Dr. Marsh is in daily attendance. The new parlors which have been added to the church at Spring Hill, by building an addition thereto, were opened to the public Tuesday evening for the first time with a grand turkey supper. | The committee sent to Worcester and ob- tained ten fat birds, which were cooked by different parties in the neighborhood. The ladies furnished other eatables. with tea and coffee, suitable for the occasion, as well as variety of fancy articles wrought by their own hands and donated for the occasion. The weather was all that could be desired, and one hundred and fifty enjoyed the repast. The price for so sumptuous feast was very small only twenty-five cents being charged. Most of the fancy articles were disposed of at good prices. Hereafter the ladies' socials will be held in the parlors, which will be much more convenient than meet ing at different places. Judge Ralph Storrs made them 8 present of set of crockery of over one hundred pieces. The parlors are furnished with cane seated chairs, 75 in number, folding tables and other suitable furniture.
