 One of the most earnest members ot the corps at Byron, H., Is Mrs. James House weart, but illness once put a stop to her active work. A year or so ago, when she was nearing fifty years of age, the time when women must be most careful ot thelr strength, Mrs HouseWeart was taken scrl. ously ill The family physician told her that she had reached a critical period ot her life, and must be very careful. His pre- scriptions and treatment did not benefit her, and other treatment proved unavalLng.
 At last Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People were brought to her notice, with in. disputable evidence that they were helpful in cases such as hers. aud with renewed hope she tried the remedy. Last March she took the first box of the pills, which gave much relief. She was determined to be cured and kept on with the medicine until now eight boxes have been consumed, and she feels like a new woman.
 Mrs. Houseweart said: 'l have taken eight boxes, and have been improving since I took the first dose l do not believe could have lived without the pills They have dore me more good than any physician or any medicine have ever tried.

FUNNY THING III SPELLING.
Learning to Manipulate Typewriter Gets Il Mnn Into a Queer
 Habit.

A Cleveland man has set about learning the use of the typewriter, Up to the present time he has had somebody to do his typewrt- inz for him, but now he wants to know how to run it all by himself. He admits that he isn't an apt scholar. It comes slowly. The letters are hard to find and the spacing is so easily forgotten. But there is one thing that amuses him. He is learning to spell and learning in the same way he did when a tow headed boy in the early Sos Of course he could spell when he tackled the typewriter, but not in the same way. Now he distinctly enumerates each letter. and does 1t, toe, with the greatest care. lt is funny thing, but he finds himself spelling out the words in the newspaper and his wife says he spells them in his sleep.
 The other day the minister met him and asked him how he was.
 "Ve-r-y w-e-l-l," he gravely spelled out, and when the pastor looked amazed he real ized what he had done and hastily explained the cause of the peculiarity. And the minis ter profes,ed to be greatly interested and wanted to know all about it and the speller ls now greatly worried for fear the parson will write a special paper on 1t for some maga- zine.
 When the minister finally left him he shook hands and said "Good-by."
 Good" began the speller and then rec ollected himself and hastily added by
 He hopes in time to wear out this peculiar ity, and when he increases his speed on the typewriter he no doubt will.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Only TurlSn.

During the Crimean war Lord Rag Ian was most conciliatory in his con- duct and language 10 the French. but. Gnluckily. from old peninsular associ- ations, he was now and then betrayed into speaking of them as the enemy" If we are placed here and the enemy are posted there" Good heavens, my lord." Lord de Ros would cry, what are you saying2" He was also particularly desirous of establishing cordial relations between the English and Turkish armies, and was much dis turbed at a quarrel which took place between some of the soldiers. When the combatants were dispersed, one or two Turkish soldiers were left y- ing dead Lord de Ros was seut to the grand yizier to express Lord Raglan $ concern and to promise that every eff fort should be made to find out and punish the guilty persons. On his be- ginning to lament an unfortunate oc- currence, the Turk looked anxious, but on the matter being broken to him. he exclaimed with great relief: "ls that all! What can it matter if they are killed or not?' Lord de Ros re- turned to Lord Raglan, and in answer tc his anxious inquiries, "It is all right he replied. Our fellows are welcome to kill as many of them as they please. ."-London Spectator.

ONLY A PRIVATE SOLDIER.
Pathetic Picture of Fond MOthes Who Read Her Death Warrant
 In Single Line.

John Anderson, private, - in- fantry; yellow fever"
 That was all. Just line in small type in newspaper. But if meant so much oh, so much to her. The line was in list of dead cabed from San tiago, and the paper was wet with tears that trick.ed through her poor, worn fingers He was her only boy, and the picture of her husband, dead these many yeara Now he, too, was dead, her little Johnnie, who but yes terday was playing at her knee, and whose childish Frattle had nerved her for that fearful struggle with the world which had been so hard and uu- profitable. To be sure, he had not al ways treated her right He had been wild and had fallen into bad company, and instead of being the help she had fondly counted on his escaPades had cost her all her little savings To be sure, neighbors had told her he was a graeeless. selfish ne er-do-well scamp, and she was a fod to slave for him. To be sure, she had thought little bit terly herself at times when, i'll, weary and heartsick, he had failed to give her helping hand or even to come to her, or betray any interest in her existence, She had never seen him in his soldier clothes. He had been sta tiOned not far away, but had not taken the trouble to come to see her. After the war began, when she had seen regi- ments march by she had imagined how brave John must lock. and wished she might have seen him in the uniform of his country.
 But that brief, epigrammatic notice of his death struck her to the heart as keenly as ever did the loss of the most model boy to the most loving mother. He was her boy. Upon his life she had built her every air castle. As long as Le had lived she had never lost hope lie was sowing his wild oats He would come back u her some day, and be her comfort ana her joy. She had elung to the idea with an intensity that stopped littl, short of mania That hope was all that enabled her fraii body to hang over washtubs by day and her trembling fingers to ply the needle by fight, all that enabled her dim eyes te see the work before her, all that kept the fires of life burn ing with the scsnt food and little sleep she allowed herself. True, he had fur, nished little grounds for such hopes in later years. But she had still hoped To have given u7 that hope would have been insanity, suicide, death
 But it was all over now. John was dead. There was nothing more to work for, to sacrifice for. Through her binding tears she did not see the form of the man clothed in the blue uniform down in Cuba. but pretty, blue-eyed boy in dresses And in her ears rang the prattle of a childish voice
 Johnnie was dead; dead and buried in foreign soil. while she could not have even the poor comfort of mourn ing over his grave. The paper dropped from her lap. she leaned her tired head upon her threadbare sleeve and wept as only those who know a great sorrow weep. Her cup of bitterness was fulI.-Chios go Inter Ocean.

Four weeks had elapsed. The steam CT Hiawatha. chartered 10 gather tp the dead from the scene of that frightful disaster of which all the world has heard, was already like a floating morgue. Late in the after noon, July 30, an object was deserted in the distance which proved to be raft bearing the name of the ill-fated steamship. Near it an empty life belt was seen bobbing upon the waves. and this was taken up. Firmly bound to the belt by strand of rope was small notebook of peculiar appear ance. The case, or cover, was of aluminium, and the leaves, apparently in consequence of some chemical prep aration, were very little affected by the action of the water. Almost every page was covered with closely written characters; but although the marks were perfectly distinct, 1t was impos- sible to decipher singe word. When the Hiawatha returned to Halifax. however, and the book was placed in the hands of an expert, it was quickly ascertained that the writing was sim ply short-hand-a modified form of the Ben Putnam system.

A woman of fashion in checked dress and great dahia-colored velvet hat, ae- eompanied by a man in modish garments, was tripping along Fifth avenue She was chatting with marked animation, and he was laughing flattcringly. The attention of the passefsby was attracted by the happy couple.
 Behind the pair chanced to walk lassie- the one yet living at home with mamma and an older woman Il friend of mamma. The lassie spicd the mondaine in checks and dahlia velvet on ahead and puckercd her brow saying: "Oh, know that woman have seen her often at Newport-she is dreadfully rieh-now l remember, she Is Mrs. Morris Blankly."
