VIOLA, Olmstcad Co, Mimi,
August "a, 1896.
"A little over ten years ago | discovered
that the joints of my fingers were charging,
and very sore. Iconsulted many physicians,
with some slight relief at times from pain,
but the joints grew larger and larger, and
my neck. shoulders and limbs were so stiff
that l could not move them without great
pain, My toes too were swollen out OF all
shape, and my fingers were so drawn, and
the muscles so contracted that | could not
use them. | had given up all hope of cure,
when my attention was called about three
years ago to the wonderful cul Is effected by
the use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and | procured a supply.
at was not long afterl began taking them
before | experienced considerable relief, and
l continued using them according to direc-
lions until | have taken altogether about
three dozen boxes. My fingers are! now
straight and flexible, and the joints reluced
to their normal size, the rheumatic pains are
almost gone, and now, though | always keep
Pink Pills by me, | never use them unless L
catch cold. or get wet through. | am will
ing that this testimonial shall be published,
in order that the extraordinary curative
powers of DR.. Williams medicine may be
known to rheumatic Sufferers.

Five well-known young bachelors Of
shelbyville, Ind, have formed them
selves into a club called The Coming
Benedicts, and have bound themselves
to be married before next Christmas,
registering their oaths to that effect
before a magistrate. They are to
meet for dinner, with their wives, at
a hotel, Dec. rs, 1897. and if any one
Of them has failed to keep his pledge
he must come down to the dinner in
charge Of the sheriff, bound and
gagged, and must forfeit 800 to each
Of the others. The chances are that
the asylums will get the most Of them
before the year is out.

The people of Manchester, Conn, are
taking steps to obtain legislative re-
s%trictions on the sale Of cocaine. The
most prominent citizens of the town
are mad for the drug, and the habit has
become SO widespread that the future
prosperity of the town is seriously
threatened. About a year ago a local
druggist made a preparation of cocaine
and menthol which could be Used as a

STORIES ABOUT BIRDS.

A Raven with a Distinct Sense of
Humor.
1t is not fair for cats and dogs to
carry off all the glory, says the London
Spectator. Allow me to tell two stories
from my own personal experience of
gratitude in a goose, of humor in a
raven. / was walking one day with a
friend through his poultry-yard, when
a goose hurried up to him, fondly rub
bed it's neck against his trousers, and
followed him about everywhere. He
told me that he had once rescued it
from being done to death by it's feath-
cred companions because it had a
broken wing. Could any unfeathered
biped have shown greater affection?
May we not say with Wordsworth:
Alas! the gratitude of men
Hath oftener left me mourning"
And now for the raven. | had been
taking duty lately in the tower for nv
friend, the chaplain, when my slumbers
were disturbed by the raucous croak-
ing of a venerable raven of unknown
antiquity, but, by all accounts, the old

hopping about under cannons and
shady trees he clearly shows that he
| considers the entire precincts to have
been provided for his comfort by a
| grateful nation. On returning one day
from luncheon with the governor, to
whom l complained of the sleep-de-
stroying noises, l found my gentleman

| lenses against the church. He listened

Last year was a very prosperous one
for Great Britain. In a rather inter-
esting address delivered at Bristol on
Thursday, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
the chancellor Of the exchequer of the
United Kingdom, said that the pros

ceeded that Of the preceding year, the
value OF the imports showing an in
crease OF f25. O0O, 900, while the exports
increased in value Ella, 0OO, 900. He said
he had reason to anticipate a fair reve-
nue., and declared that the surplus
would be beyond what was generally
expected.

Terror to Eyildoers,

Judge Parker of Fort Smith, Ark.
who died a few weeks since, was
known for a long time as the Hang
ing Judge Of Arkansas During his
twenty years service on the bench as
judge of the western district Of that
state 154 persons were convicted in his
court for capital offenses, eighty-four
of whom were hanged. 1t is related
that on n occasion a United States
deputy marshal was on the way to
Fort Scott with a quartet of particu-
larly villainOus law-breakers, when he
was stopped by a mob, which pro-
posed to give the prisoners short shrift
and a long rope in Judge Lynch's court.
Il am taking them to Fort Smith, :"
said the deputy, ''and they will be
tried before Judge Parker" This salts
fed the mob, which dispersed with the
exception of ten of its members, who
accompanied the marshal as a guard.
The four malefactors were tried, con-
victed and hanged in due time.-St.
Louis Republic.

The Salvation Army in Chicago
has a plan similar to that so effectively
employed by General Booth for the
regeneration of the jewellers in the
lowest slums Of London, and which
has been followed with good results.
They contemplate the drafting of the

oago and putting them at work on
small tracts of land and in small fac

PINE TREE

The sawmill follows in the wake of
the turpentine gatherer.
The cones of certain species of pine
are sometimes eaten as food.
A kin to afford 100 barrels of tar
should burn about eight or nine days.
The inner bark of the pine tree is in
certain sections of the country made
into rope.
The yellow pine is one of the most
valuable woods of the country, and is
used largely for shipbuilding and house
timber.
The yellow pine tree often attains a
height of seventy feet and upward,
though rarely more than two feet in
diameter.
An essential oil obtained by distilla-
ton of the leaves or needles has medi-
cilal virtues attributed to it by some
German practitioners.
Immense quantities of the pitch
pine" grown in the Southern states are
exported to Great Britain and the West

In Kamschatka the inner bark of he
pine is macerated in water, then
pounded and made into a kind of sub
stitute for bread, without any admix-
ture of flour.
The "loblolly" pine of the back
woodsman grows on the Southern
pine barrens." 1t grows eighty or
ninety feet high, sometimes having a
girth of six or eight feet.
There is a species of pine tree which
grows in California, and known as the
giant pine, or sugar pine, which is the
largest of the pine genus, often rising
to a height of 200 feet, with a trunk
twenty to thirty feet in girth.

.JAPAN'S NEW STAMPS

However strongly the adherents Of

Speculative Stamps may feel on the
subject of stamps made for collectors
gum paps," the out-and-out philatelist
calls them-they will be sorely tempt
ed to invest in the new commemorative
issue of Japan, says London Sketch.
All the advance notices. of the new
stamps have spoken of them as war
stamps" but this they do not purport
to be. They are avowedly issued In
commemoration of two princely Japs
who died heroic deaths in the fight with
China. To this extent they are war
stamps and 1t is not improbable that
the Japanese, under the cloak OF
mourning, are indulging in a little
jubilation by postage stamps, in which
case the new issue has perhaps been
properly described. The issue consists
of only two Values sen and 5 sen;
but Of each value there are two types,
in order, we suppose, that the nations
grief shall be bestowed upon the late
Prince Arisugawa and the late Prince
Kitashirikawa, with scrupulous i'm
partially. AS this is a special and,
strictly speaking, unnecessary issue OF
stamps, which will be on sale at all
Japanese postoffices side by side with
the ordinary issue, 1t is safe to say that
there will be some tall kicking on the
part of philatelists. If, however, it Is
Japan's object to make money by the
issue, it must be allowed that Japan is
not grasping. The total face value oil
