A Sensation.

That the world is coming to an end
suddenly at a given time is not what
Is here referred to. There are different
kinds of sensations, as very many PEG
pie know who feel sharp twinges of
pain In the big nerve of the thigh, Sci
atica is very painful sensation, and
the torment of 1t makes one think some
thing is come to an end. But just at
the first sensation or twinge is the best
time to use st. Jacobs Oil. The less
pain the more easily 1t is cured, and

shrine at which for centuries insane
people have been reputed TO have
been cured Whatever may be the
facts or the superstitions in such
cases, modern science has wrought
what one might claim to be miracles
there in the treatment of nervous dis

in social reforms, wished to make an
experiment of caring for her insane
poor by giving them the freedom OF

institutions has reversed most of the

and giving them their freedom under
sympathetic supervision. The exper-
iment of the Belgian governemnt, at
first held to be perilous, has proved
as successful as its purpose was ben
eficent; it is one of the merciful mir
acles OF modern science, whose in
fuence seems destined to fill the

Equiyocal, evasive and euphemistic
phrases are numerous, and often sim
gularly useful. Children frequently
ask the name or nature of an object

"A vim won for a mustard mill" is
not a bad subterfuge, though some
people prefer "A vim won for lame

provincial form of "whim- wham,

HAS A PITCAIRN BIBLE.
One of These Noted Books is Owned by a
Hartford Society.

One of These Noted Books is Owned by a
Hartford Society.
The Connecticut Historical society has
come into possession of one of the noted
Pitcairn Bibles, which were brought to
this country from Pitcairn island by Levi
Hayden of the American whaling
ship Cyrus of Nantucket in 1910. There
were two of these Bibles. The second
one will be eventually deposited with the
British Bible society in London.
The two volumes of ancient writ be-
longed originally Oh the ship Bounty,
which w was m1tinied in the Pacific ocean Ia
commander, Lieut.. Bligh, with his add
herents, adrift, and made their way to
Tahiti. There they secured native wom-
en- and took them as wives to Pitcairn
island, arriving January %, 1870. The
ship was destroyed, and all trace of the
mutineers was lost for quarter OF Il
century.
John Adams was the last of the number
and it was due to him that the Pitcairn
Bibles were brought into use. After the
death of all his associates in the mutiny.
Adams hunted up the Bibles that had
been saved from the Bounty and began
to teach the pagan women and the chill
dren. When the islanders were finally
discovered by civilized seamen, it was as
certained that all of them spoke the
English language and were believers IN
the Scriptures.
In 1889 Levi Hayden of the Whaling
ship Cyrus landed on the island with the
ships blacksmith and spent some time
there, engaged in burning a pit of char
coal. There were 100 persons on the
island at the time. But all of the orig
inal settlers, except Tahitian, the wife OF
Fletcher Christian, who headed the
mutiny on the Bounty, had died. When
Hayden left the island to return to the
Cyrus he received one of the two Bibles
from John Adams the grandson Of the
mutineer of that name. They were the
Bibles that led to the conversion Of the
island, and were brought to this country
one of them was in the possession of
President Peletiah PERT of the Ameri-
can Seamen's Friend society of New
York city. The second of the Bibles was
given to Hayden by Mary Christian, the
daughter of the chief mutineer. This
Bible was given, June 6, 1910. to Rev.
Daniel NJ. Lord of the Fort Hill Sea-
it went to Mrs. Eliza Ann Lord of Buff
falo, n. Y. Ultimately it will be de-
posted with the British Bible society.
When the Bibles were presented to
Hayden on Pitcairn island, in 1889, the
givers apologized for the rough and neg
lected appearance which the two books
presented, saying that all the children
had used them in learning to read. Levi
Hayden died in 1888. He was a native
Of Windsor, in this state, and cousin
of II. Sidney Hayden. 1t is through the
latter, who died in Windsor few
months ago, that the Bible which was
given to Levi Hayden by John Adams
has now come into the possession of the
Connecticut Historical society.

The Pembina On. d. Pioneer-Express
says: Among the respected residents of
Pembina are Charles Pullman and wife,
proprietors of the Winchester hotel.
They have a son, 6 years old, who, while
playing around the house, fell and was
seized with an intense pain in his stom-
ach. His mother soothed him, and af
ter some time he went to sleep. On
awakening he was again seized with the
pain, and the mother again quoted him.
She also went to sleep and dreamed that
a large needle was protruding from the
little fellows stomach, which she pulled
out, when a stream of blood followed.
The dream impressed itself so forcibly
on her mind, and despite her husbands
protests that it was a mere trick of her
imagination, she insisted that a medical
examination be had. A doctor was
called in, and placing the boy under chic
reform, he made an incision at the spot
where the pain was felt and removed
needle about two inches long. 1t was
greatly corroded and evidently had been
in the stomach for long time"
