and small lump Of bone or callous grew
on my spine, which was exquisitely painful,
OF course my heart was badly affected, and
were all OF one mind, and that was that
my days were numbered, and they could do
me no good.
81 could not leave my bed without help,
and once lay for three weeks In one posi-

day about three months ago some one read
70 me from the Hutchinson Gazette an &C
count Of q wonderful cure of q patient
whose Ills were somewhat similar TO mine
by using DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.
II was struck by what / heard and pro-
cured q supply Of Pink Pills about six

health. NV nerves became tranquil, the
rheumatic pains began TO leave me, palpi-
tation Of the heart ceased, my kidneys and
liver grew normal, and though am still

LoNDON'S SEWAGE.
II u Disposed of by Precipitation and
Transportation.

II 10 Disposed of by Precipitation and
Transportation.
The disposal of the sewage OF Lon
don is effected by means of two great
plants, where it is party purified by
chemicals and by steamers which car
~ out to sea the precipitated matter,
called sludge, obtained after chemical
treatment of the sewage, says the Bal
timore American. The enormous ma
ture Of this undertaking is shown by
some figures in a recent report by A.
r. Binnie, chief engineer, to the Lon
don County Council. The average
amount Of sewage reaching the works
was nearly 25O.OO0,0O0 gallons during
1895, an increase of little more than 1
per cent. over the quantity Of the pre-
vious year. The chemicals employed In
purifying the sewage were 1889 900
pounds OF lime and II, 277 $50 pounds
of protosulphate of iron. The guam
tity of sludge that was taken from the
works was 2,169,000 long IONS, Of which
weight only about 81 per cent was Of
solid matter. About S4,729, 000shas been
spent In building the chemical plant
and the vessels employed in removing
the sludge to sea. The total expenses,
including fixed charges and the cost
Of operating. amounted to $755,000 dur
ing 1895, about two-thirds Of this sum
being for operation. Figuring on the
basis Of 1000, 900 gallons Of sewage, the
total cost OF sewage disposal was $40
and S5.64 for operating expenses alone
For precipitation, the operating ex-
penses were $2.9S per 1,OOo. 900 gallons
Of sewage received. Six ships were
employed in carrying sludge out to sea,
the average load being 1000 tons. The
cost Of this transportation was 6% cents
periton.

PERFUMED BUTTER.
The New Indulgence of the Royal Family
and the Rich Set In London.

The New Indulgence of the Royal Family
and the Rich Set In London.
Perfumed butter on the dinner table
is the fad Of royalty and Of the very
rich in London. The diaries where this
butter is made are as odorous as q for
lists shop or the laboratory Of a per-
fumer. On all sides there are flowers
and Jars Of leaves, pressed and loose.
At first glance 1t might be supposed
that the butter receives its subtle odor
by working 1t with some sort Of es-
sence. But this is not the case. In the
first place the butter is made in small
pats like those in ordinary use. Each
pat Is wrapped in a bit Of fine muslin
and placed on a bed OF rose leaves spe-
cially prepared in an earthen jar. On
top another layer of the fresh and deli
cate rose leaves is placed, before the
Jar is filed with a solid chunk Of ice.
Then the jar is placed in a refrigers-
tor and allowed to remain there for ten
hours, when the pats are ready for the
customer. This is all there Is to II, but,
simple as the idea Is, It has made
for its discoVerer a fortune, and he
IL now permitted to announce that he Is
"by royal appointment" puryeyor to
Her Majesty the Queen and the royal
family.

Number OF Knots Tied.
No city in America has made quite
such good record in the number of
knots tied for clippers as Jacksonville.
Ind, this year. says the Indianapolis
Journal. Last month there were eighty
i've such marriages. Located on the
Ohio river the town draws from two
states and has special attractions for
the romantic Kentuckians. The squires
aud ministers are winning q reputation
for the way In which they dispatch the
nervous and loye-lorn who come &C
their doors. A couple, total strangers
In the city, will step from q train or Q
buggy or bicycles and ask for . Ger
tain squire. So well, however, have
the magistrates arranged things thai
no couple can manage to reach the city
without having first been spotted By
some Of the numerous runners, whe
kindly volunteer to escort them 70 the
ONCE OF q magistrate. For this kind.
ness the runner always receives a fee
from the officiating justice. The justics
having the widest reputation is Squire
John Hause, who occupies a neat ONCE

made conspicuous by the inviting
sign Matrimonial Parlors" and other
placards showing to the public the ma
ture of the business transacted by ths
justice. During the last month at least
nifty OF the couples were united In the
tie that binds by this dignitary. The
emoluments resulting from this chan
mel are from 81 to IS and sometimes SIC
each. A handsome income Of from 500
to $500 per month is almost always as
sured him. Many are the queer re-
quests which accompany the applica-
tons for the marriage ceremony. Re
Gently one Of the couples wanted to be
married while on their bicycles, and the
request was complied with. The scene
was strange. The bridal couple seated
on wheels supported by friends, with
ciasped hands, were made one. Another
couple were married by request stand.

daughter in a family of five girls and
four boys, all Of the birls having eloped

An Editor Says That It Takes Money
to Run . Newspaper.
From the Coyington (Ohio) Gazette:
1T takes money to run a newspaper"
St John (Kan.) News.
What an aggregation; what a whop-
per. 1t has been disproved a thou
sand times; 1t is a clean case Of airy
fancy. 1t doesn't take money to run
q newspaper; It can run without mon
ey: It Is a charitable institution, q

BGodfrey the newspaper is the child

can go on and on and on, when any
other concern would be in the hands
Of q receiver and wound up with cob
webs In the window. It takes wind to
run a newspaper; it takes gall to run
a newspaper. 1t takes a scintillating,
acrobatic Imagination, and half doz-
en- white shirts, and a railroad pass to
run q newspaper. But money-Heav-

for the editor-kind words and church
social tickets. When you see an ed
itor with money, watch him He'll
be paying bills and disgracing his pro-
fession. Never give money to an edi-
tor. Make him trade 1t out He likes
to swap. Then when you die, after
having stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little Jim
crow paper. be sure and have your wife

1t would overwhelm him. Money Is q
corrupting thing. The editor knows It
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank their grocers.
Take your job work to the job once
and then come and ask for hall rates
for church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationery printed
out Of town, and then food the editor
with beautiful thoughts In resolutions
Of respect and cards Of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when
you pick 1t up filed with those glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are 50 proud of your little paper! But
money-scorn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure, innocent editor know
anything about It. Keep that for
sordid tradespeople who charge for
their wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor. He has q
charter from the state to act as q door
mat for the community. He'll get
the paper out somehow; and stand mp
for you when you run for ONCE, and lie
about your pigeon-toed daughters

big-footed sons when they get q "a per
