Them.
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.

From the EUe1ei31g NeaVs, Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. Holm Tansey, of 100 Baker street,
Detroit Michigan, is one of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is a
mother to those in distress. 10 % report
er she said:
II am the mother of ten children and
have raised eight OF them. Several years
ago we had a serious time with my
daugher, which began when she was about
sixteen years old. She did not have any
serious illness, but seemed to gradually
waste away. Having never had any con-
sumption in our families. es we come OF
good old Irish and Scotch descent, we did
not think it was that disease. Neither did
she have a hacking cough, yet she grew
thinner and paler each day. Our doctor
called the disease by an odd name which,
as I afterWard learned, meant lack of
blood.
sit Is impossible to describe the feelings
John aud l had as we noticed our daught-
er slowly passing away from us. As {, last
resort was induced to try Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, made by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Company, Schen-
ectady, N. Y, which l understood con-
tanned in condensed form all the ele
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. Before she had had taken
half box there was decided change,
and after three months treatment you
would not have recognized her, as her
health was so greatly improved. She
gained in flesh rapidly, and soon was in
perfect health. have always kept the
pills in the house since and have recon-
mended them to every one l could. /
have told many mothers about them, and
they have made some wonderful cures.
One Of the girls had young lady friend
that came to the house almost every day
and she was sight. Honestly she seemed
almost transparent. did not care to
have my daughters associate with her, as
I was afraid she would drop dead some
day when they were out on the street.
recommended and begged her to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
told her of their sterling qualities and
how the cost was slight, being only 30
cents box or elk boxes for So. 50, at any
druggists. Finally l induced her to try
them.
''They helped her wonderfully, and IN
doubtediy saved her life. She now REQ.
ommends them to other young women.
Every mother in this land should keep
these pills in the house, as they are good
for many other ailments. I don't believe
in doctoriug and never spent much mon
ey In medicines, but I can recommend
DR. Williams Pink Pills to every mother
that has daughter just coming into
womanhood. -

PAPER CUTTING as AN ART.
The Practice of Making Designs Seems to
Have Fallen Into Misuse.

The Practice OF Making Designs seems TO
Have Fallen Into Misuse.
The quaint old accomplishment OF pa
per-cutting has become almost a lost
art, except where 1t is still remembered
by few old women as having been
fashionable when they wero young.
Perhaps some Of them can still take n
piece Of paper and 1 lair Of scissors and
cut out designs, but their hands are too
old and tremulous to execute as deli
cate and complex patterns as they used
10 make. The designs for these cut pa
pers was never drawn, but tho paper
was generally doubled 30 that the pat
tern, when unfolded, was duplex, giving
a certain regularity. The girls OF htty
years ago became very skillful at this
work, md one tells of often seeing her
old mother, as the family sat talking
after dinner, draw out a pair of small
scissors, pick up an envelope or bit OF
PAPER, and. seemingly without any
thought or trouble, cut out the most
exquisite flowers and arabesques, says
the New York Sun. Cut papers were
used for many purposes OF decoration.
Sometimes they were cut with n ring at
one end that slipped over the candle,
the leaf Of delicate paper lace hanging
down In front OF the candlestick like an
apcou, These "caudle papers" when
dipped In melted wax and then allowed
to harden, had almost the look of ox-
quisltcly carved ivory. Sometimes the
papers were cut In rounds 20 1T into the
lids OF watches. and were presented by
young women to the men OF their nc
quaintanCe. and the young men OF that
day counted their popularity by tho
number Of watch papers that they re-

Young women exchanged cut papers
with each other as tokens Of friendship.

The exchange situation was also much
cleared, the quotations for actual busi-
ness In sterling exchange breaking 10

sixty days. The leading tendency Is due
TO the free Offering OF grain bills, which
'are likely 10 Increase from this time On.
In view OF this fact further exports OF
gold are exceedingly unlikely to occur
and the annual reiluE OF the yellow
metal win probably begin at no distant
day, The heavy adverse trade balance
to result from foreign purchases OF
grain is considered 10 be the motive OF
the persistent dislnclinatlon OF Tor
eign exchanges TO invest In
American securities and OF their
disposition to take their profits by SELF

market. Sales OF this character were
large to-day, especially OF Northern
