A QUEER SENSE OF HUMOR.

Eayages are Tempted to Laugh Only
 When Some One is Hurt.
 ( The laugh, which is now so closely associated with good humor and kindly feeling, originally implied nothing of the sort It expressed almost the re- verse; it was the crow of triumph over fallen foe.
 Such is it's nature still among sav- ages and barbarous peoples, and it's unexpected manifestations are occa- sionally very startling. Dancing on the body of prostrate enemy is to them hilarious business; the writhing of victim under torture is the fun niest thing imaginable; a new device flor torment is a clever jest; the inf1ict- ing of a ghastly wound as some poor wretch runs the gantlet makes them yell with giee. The things that shock or horrify or disgust the civilized man are about the only things worth laugh ing at, from savage's point of view.
 With the exception, therefore, of rough practical jokes, which may pos sibly wrinkle his stolid features with 8 momentary grin, the barbarian has no appreciation of civilized lumor: he can't see where the fun comes in if mo- body is hurt This was curiously illus trated not long ago, when a considera- ble number of Chinamen went to a New York theater to see a burlesque performance. When the American part of the audience laughed the dele gation from Chinatown sat with faces absolutely blank; but the moment any hint of brutality, tragedy CT tears ap- peared on the stage, their heavy fea- -tures lighted and were wreathed in

 Such is the history of one of the most re. markable cases of modern times. Can any one say, in the face of such testimony, that pr. Williams Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of any suffering man, woman or child? Is not the case in truth miracle of modern medicine?

Once they were hard and without sensation. You could pierce them with pin and would not feel it, and what is true of my hands is true of the rest of my body. Perhaps you have observed that I have now even ceased to use cane, and can get about my business perfectly we'll.

 "Do you still attribute your cure to the use of Dr. w lliams' Pink Pills?" asked the Monitor. A

The paralysis was so complete as to affect the face and prevented him from opening his mouth sufficiently wide to take solid food. The doctors called the disease spinal sclero- ais, and all said he could not live.

The Monitor, newspaper publiahed at Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered this case two years ago, and published it at length, which now, seems, owing to the cure of it, to that many people doubted the truth of them. They said: "It is too remarkable; it cannot possibly be true; the paper Is mistaken, and the man, although he may think himself cured, will soon relapse into his former con- dition,' etc., etc. The accuracy of it's re. port called in question, the Monitor deter. mined to find out definitely whether the facts were as stated and whether the man would really stay cured.

DEAF SCHOOL FOOT BALL TEAM.

The largest boys at the Maine School
for the Deaf have organized football
team and now spend part Of each pleas
ant afternoon In good, hard practice.
They propose little later to challenge a
team from one of the city grammar
schools.
In connection with their football the
pupils have adopted school "yell" after
the fashion of other schools and the COL
leges. At first people may think that deaf
boys cannot artioulate clearly enough to
make use of yell 1t is not so at this
school. for the boys shout their yell with
startling distinctness as follows:
AE-I ON,
Red and blue,
Rah, rah, rah.

South PortIand's Gave the p. A. C.'s a
Scrimmage on the Club Grounds Yes
terday Afternoon-The Westbrool Sem
mary Team.
The first game of football Of the season
will he played on the Deering grounds
on Saturday afternoon between the Ports
mouth Athletic club and the Portland
Athletic club. The Portland club is
very strong one as was shown last night
when they tackled the South Portland
team for q practice game. This scrim-
mage was very interesting one and was
watched by large crowd. The game took
place on the tennis court of the Athletic
club and while the space was not large
enough to admit of any touchdowns be-
ing made or goals kicked there was plenty
of room to show what each team was
made of and to show the strong and weak
points OF BOTH
The P. A. G. team has not been play
ing more than week and yesterday af-
ternoon they devoted most of their time
to working out their signals and trying
the several formations. All of the men
on the P. A. G. team are old football
players and do not require great deal of
coaching, but of course the teams weak
ness is in the fact that none of the men
are as yet very familiar with the signals.
The line is good and strong and there are
good men behind the line to insure the
Portsmouth boys lively game on Satur-
day. If the P. a. G. men only had a few
more days in which to practice it is safe
to say that there is not a team In Maine
which could begin to touch them.
Behind the line is Macreadie at full
back. He is a very strong man, weighs
40 pounds and Is in fine form. AS line
breaker he will Undoubtedly prove
surprise to the Portsmouth boys. Yester-
day afternoon he showed what he could
do in this way and every time he tried
the strong South Portland line he made
big gains. Another man behind the line
whom the Portland people will be glad to
see is Johnny Sullivan. He will play as
quarter back. Every one remembers how
Sullivan used to pull victory out of defeat
on the old P. H. S. team a few years
ago and he seems to be in just as good
shape as ever, though he is much heavier.
Owing to the bad light yesterday after
noon Sullivan fumbled a good deal but In
daylight and with lit5ls more practice
which he will have chance to get be-
tween now and Saturday he will be all
right. Then there is Chapman and bux-
ton of old High school fame. These men
will play at half back. They are all right
and any one who remembers the crack
a. jack teams of P FL. S. on which these
men played few years ago will under
stand what they are capable of doing. In
the line is Charley Perry an old Andover
and Yale athlete, Lamb an ex-Colby
player and who played on P. II. s. and
was star too, and Chapman who made
such a nit ON Deering High school team
of5last year. Then there is Rumery,
Dorticos and Marsh, while Warren who
coached P. FL. S. last year and who has
been playing football for many seasons on
Harvard and other teams, is coaching
the P. A. C.'s and playing guard.

Manager D. T. Dougherty Of the Bath
polo team is to have fine aggregation
this season despite the losses he met with
in McGilvary and Mooney signing in
National League Clubs. Mr.. Dougherty
found that these men were anxious to play
on the National League and unwilling to
return to Bath for another season. The
Committees from the two leagues who
were authorized to draw up an agreement
allotted some of the Bath players to
National League clubs. Mr.. Dougherty
made a hard fight for them but every
thing was against him and he lost the
men.
Nothing daunted by this throwdown
Mr.. Dougherty pluokily went to work to
sign men for his team. Manager Burn
ham of Portland says that Mr.. Dougherty
has been very fortunate in securing good
emn and Bath will be represented very
strongly this season. Mr.. Dougherty is
al genial gentleman and good polo
manager as well.
Portland will probably be represented
in tbs Maine League this season by the
same old club.
/, The Lewiston team will probably be
about as follows: Foster, Tierney, Miller,
Hayes and Farrell. These are all good
men. Farrell will be remem bered as the
plucky young goal tender who put up
such good games at the goal for Port
| land a while last season.
| The National Polo league officers are
as follows: Jacob G.. Morse of the Boston
| Herald, President; Thomas j. Reilly of
the Meriden Journal. Vice President
Charles T. Olin of New Britain, Conn,
Secretary and Treasurer.
Tarrant of last seasons Lewiston team
will probably play at Meriden, Conn.
this season. Tarrant is now in Portland.
Hartford has been making ovsrtures to
Mooney of last seasons Bath team and it
is more than likely that he will play in
that city this season. Hartford refused
to let him return to Bath and though

THEY HAVE LEARNED HOW.
A Scientific Problem Solved.
This Time Medicine Will Be Benefited
by This Discovery.
Doctors Recognize in vinol an Invalu-
able Ally, Much Better Than Cod
Liver Oil in Its Old Form.

There ia no doubt about the value OF
yinol, this new form of cod liver oil,
concerning which SO much has been said
lately. 1t is just another one of those
great inventions that is bound to revolu-
tiopize a certain branch of science. This
time the science is that of saving lives.
Hence the greater good that will be de-
rived from this discovery.
Mr.. James D. Dolan of this city, who
SO fortunately succeeded in 'associating
himself with prominent New York
firm, has indeed made his name one that
will never be forgotten in our city. His
foresight and shrewdness enable him to
take advantage of what has proved to be
a most wonderful blessing to all who are
in need of medicine for the cure OF THROAT
lung and bronchial troubles as well as
wasting diseases of every description;
This Vinol is simply cod liver OIL IN
new form, cod liver oil. without any
oil, paradoxical as the state
ment may sound. In other
words. as MIR. Dolan explains 1t himself
Vinol is the concentrated essence contain
ing all the active medicinal principles
fonnd in the liver of the live cod, without
any of the objectionable features that
were formerly extracted at the same time,
such as fatty matter. The extract which
is the basis Of Vinol becomes tasteless,
administered as 1t is in delicate table
wine. The efficient manner in which 1t
acts is really wonderful. Physicians are
now able to prescribe for patients vinol
where it would have been Impossible q
short time ago to have recommended cod
liver oil, on account of the depleted con-
dition of the PATIENTS digestive organs,
This has always been drawback that
has prevented more cures being effected
where cod liver oil has been indicated.
Patients are now able to take this medl-
cine without the slightest Inconvenience.
In fact. to take delicious Vinol is pleas
ure. It's beneficial effect is most crafty
ing. ~
expatiate SO fully on subject, but this Is
one that will admit of careful investiga-
ton by all, for it is indeed Of the gravest
Importance that everyone should become
cof,yersant with a remedy that is SO often
needed in our bleak climate.
For the convenience ofthe public further
down town, Mr.. Dolan has established a
