time. / could not rest at night at all, nor at
any other time. could scarcely eat anything at

scription and after the second dose felt better.
From then until was sick, carried nearly all
the water that was used up a long hill, and
worked in the garden every day, besides my
other work and did not feel at all bad. When the
baby was born the doctor and the women who
were with me said had an easier time than any
ore they ever saw for the first time. The baby
is very healthy and growing right along. I
Eave been up ever since she was five days old."

Prohtable Calling.

The Sketch gives some statistics re-
garding the inns and innkeepers Of
Switzerland which seem to prove inn
keeping in that land the most profit
able of callings. In proportion to it's
size, Switzerland has far and away
more inns than any other country in
the world. Indeed, the entertainment
Of tourists has become the chief indus
try of this hospitable land-hospitable
that is, to paying guests. 1t now con-
tains no less than LOO hostelries, sta
toned for the most part on the tops OF
mountains or by the side Of glaciers.
Their receipts amount to some $25,-
100000 year, and, when we take into
account the many millions more which
go into the pockets of other contribut-
ors to the entertainment of tourists, we
are driven to the conclusion that bar
rem peaks and glaciers are, after all,
more profitable than the most fertile
plains and valleys in the world.

Brlbing spurgeon.

The recent autobiography OF the late
Rev. Charles II. Sturgeon contains an
account of what may be termed an
early business venture, and its infiu-
ence on his character. Spurgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmoth-
err coaxed him with money to learn
them. At first she gave him penny,
but when she saw how easily it was
earned the old lady reduced the prize
to a halfpenny and then to farthing.
There is no telling how low the
amount per hymn might have fallen,
but Just at this time his grandfather
made a discovery which seemed more
desirable to Sturgeon. He discovered
that his house was overrun with rats,
and offered his grandson a shilling a
dozen for all he could kill. The oc-
cupation of rat-killing gave him more
money than learning hymns. But"
Mr.. Spurgeon Enthusiastically says,
II know which employment has been
the more permanently profitable to

cABERY's WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Runs for Year without Demanding
ANY Attention.

Runs for n Year without Demanding
Amy Attention.
A Kankakee county man Is the pos
SCISSOR of one of the most wonderful
clocks in the country. This clock is
as near a perpetual motion machine as
any piece of mechanism yet designed.
The owner is not a perpetual motion
crank, but is an exceedingly ingenious
jeweler named Peter NJ. Ravenskilde
OF Cabery, a hustling town in the
southwestern portion of Kankakee
county. The clock is the product or
many years of study and labor and
considerable expense. 1t keeps accur-
ate time and will run for year with
out the least attention from its owner.
The clock proper is run with a wheel
sixty inches in circumference. From
the outer surface of the circumference
are suspended 120 cups, each one-half
inch in diameter and a third of an
inch deep. Each Of forty of these cups,
which are successive, contains steel
ball three eighths of an inch in diam
eter. Every minute and a half as
this weel turns by the weight of these
balls, one of them falls out of it's cup,
rolls down an inclined plane twenty
inches long, when, by its own weight,
1t reunites a broken circuit of cleo
tricity, and is again elevated by lit
tie car travelling along a sleeper in
clined plane to the top Of the wheel,
where 1t falls into a cup which stands
vertical for a short time. After the
car discharges it's cargo 1t returns to
Its original station from its own
weight. From the time one of these
balls Is dropped into a cup until it is
again dropped into another cup 1t trav-
els thirty-six inches. Thus the work
done by all the balls is equivalent to
one ball travelling over one mile day;
400 miles in one year, and during the
lifetime Of person living three score
years the distance around the globe.
The electricity used is generated in an
ordinary storage battery, and does not
require any attention for fully year.
Another clock owned by Mr.. Ravens
kilde is Of similar construction, but
considerably smaller. This clock is
used to attract attention in the store.
A porcelain globe is placed back of the
clock and at night green, red and white
electric lights reflect their rays alter
nately on the face of the clock, the col
ors being changed each time the ball is
discharged from one Of the cups on the
timepiece. Mr.. Ravenskilde has had
many offers to exhibit his clocks, but
refuses to do so, and so far he has not
had the mechanism patented.

Comfort for Women.

Some time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars FOR
the .. & O's New York trains, and the
radical departure from other cars OF
this character lay in the toilet room
for ladies. which was eight feet In
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers for the
New York-St. Louis line Of the B. & o.,
and the designer of the cars has evil
IDENTIFY been impelled by the popular
ity of the ladies' retiring room in the
parlor cars to give to the ladies vast
deal more space than they ever had be-
fore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to be
the finest they ever turned out, and
the ladies' retiring room is exceeding
ly commodious, and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, dresser with
a long pier glass. The cars are fin-
ished in vermillion wood, decorated
with inlaid marquetry work, and the
upholstery on the backs and seats is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being sort of mo-
quette with dark green border and
center pattern OF bright color. A sim
liar design OF ornamentation has been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesuue effect. They are also
SUPPLIED with all the modern appli-
ances. such as wide vestibules, anti
telescoping device, air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
gas. A very pleasing effect is obtained
by the oval windows OF opalescent

load to carry. Few people who never
lived on a farm appreciate what it
means to follow the pillow from sunrise

any kind means long hours for the kid

realized that the tired feelings mostly
always came from tired kidneys, and
that the little wonder workers, Doan's
Kidney Pills, would right the wrong
brought on by over-work, life would
be easier for him. Read what Mr..
Pierson says about his experience:
noticed when stopped, lifted or changed
my position suddenly. early In the fall OF 1877,
that was always rewarded with sharp pains
across the small OF my back, and in the morn
ing was so lame and sore that could scarcely

kidney secretions, especially annoying at night,
plainly indicated that my kidneys were the
cause OF the trouble had often heard Doan's
Kidney Pills spoken about by my neighbors,

preparation, procured a box. noticed their
beneficial effects in day or two and continued
the treatment until my backache was cured and

A FATHERS STORY,

A remarkable cure for disease which

and left them in a condition to which death
itself would be preferred, has attracted a
great amount Of attention among the res
idents of the west end of Appleton.
The case is that Of little Willard Creech,
son of Richard ID. Creech, q well known
employee of one of the large paper mills in
the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacks
by spinal disease and his parents had given
ap all hope of his ever being we'll again
when, as by a miracle, he was healed and is
now in school as happy as any of bis mates.
Mr.. Creech, the father of the boy, who
resides at 1862 Second Street, Appleton,

lives in Canada wrote advising the use Of

This was when our boy had been on the

for nine months. In six weeks after taking
the pills we noticed signs of vitality in his
legs, and in four months he was able to go
to school.

Gen. Kltchener's Singular Experience In
tho Campaign of 1888.
The Sirdar of the army In Egypt,
on whom the eyes OF Englishmen are
now turned from every quarter OF the
empire, has had very extraordinary
experience, having swallowed a bull
let with which he had been wounded.
and which he now preserves as a me-
mento. During the campaign OF 'SS
Major Kitchener was hit in the side
of the face by bullet, during
skirmish near SualSim, and was taken
down the Nile, and thence to the
Citadel hospital at Cairo, where, de-
spite all the efforts of the surgeons,
the bullet could not be located, the
X-rays being then unknown. On the
authority of Sergeant Billion, late OF
the medical staff corps, who is now
in London, and who was then special
ly detailed to look after the injured
officer, the wound was a healthy one,
and very soon healed, and the medi-
cal officers came to the conclusion that
the bullet had worked its way out
without being noticed on the passage
down the Nile. Billion one day tempt
ed his patients appetite with a tasty
beef steak, which the major had no
sooner attacked than he put his hand
to his throat exclaiming: Billion, II
there's no bone in the steak, I've
swallowed that bullet; 1 felt 1t go
down" This proved to be the case,

Bamboozilng Mamma.

Bamboozling Mamma.
''He never shall wed
My daughter" she said,
't1he shall never be his with my con-
sentl"
She had money to throw
To the winds that blow,
And freely she gave her feelings vent.
The maiden was fair,
And her mother had hair
Of the color that's commonly known as
red
The man in the case
Had an innocent face,
But plenty of gray matter stored in
his head.
HE never shall wed
My daughter" she said,
Never with my consent" said she;
But the fellow knew
or trick or two,
And he courted and waited patiently
Her hair was red.
AS has been said
One day he referred to her auburn
hair;
She had scorned him once
And called him a Ounce,
But he won her approval then and
there.
