BARRE, W.. Jan. 81 1899.
One year ago | was confined to the house a
helpless Invalid suffering from Rheumatism
and Liver Trouble. l had been sufferer for
several years with Rheumatism and had
failed to find relief until my husband went to
Prof B. G. Wilkins last March and he told
him he could help me, although he did not
guarantee cure. l commenced treatment
with him right away. At this time | could not
walk step without crutches. and | suffered
great deal of pain. My left limb was swollen
nearly twice its natural size. My nerves were
all worn out. | could not eat nor sleep. My
complexion was saffron color, my counte-
nance an expression of suffering The first
three weeks treatment did not seem to affect
me, or at least | could not see much improve
ment After that | commenced to gain rap
idly and at the eud of two months | was able
to discont nue. my treatment. | could walk
without crutch or cane, and could even go up
and down stairs. | have been gaining ever
since and to day | am free from rheumatism.
| am in perfect health. | have no use for
orutches or cane. | can take comparatively
long walks without tireng l am the

covery wholly to Prof Wilkins and his won
derful magnetic power. l. gives us pleasure

APPENDICITIS IN CATS
A Fine San Francisco Feline Submitg
to the Knife without
Resistance.

Maltese cats are In large demand
among business houses not only be-
cause OF their beauty, but because they
have proved themselves TO be fine hunt
ers. One of the handsomest OF these
is Tom, n magnificent fellow belonging
to a wholesale grocer in lower Cal
ifornia street, or perhaps it would be
more correct to say that the cat owns
the establishment. He spends his nights
in useful labor and is sometimes for
considerable period found regularly
each morning with n big dead rat by
his side, for, like most of the genuine
" capable of his kind, he disdains to eat
his game. During the day he has ap-
2ropriated to his own use a nicely I'm
ished mail tray on the office desk, and
when the weather is cool big nickel
lamp standing beside the tray is kept
burning for his especial benefit a fit
of indigestion very nearly carried him
off one day and it became necessary to
perform a surgical operation to save
the noble fellows life. He seemed to
know that the veterinary surgeons Ian
Get was uDsheethed for his good and
bore the pain like stole and without
resistance.
Nying with Tom in beauty and intel
ligence and his almost exact counter
part in size and appearance is Joe, a
splendid maltese of Petaluma birth, be-
longing to a wholesale boot and shoe
house on the corner of Second and Stew
enson streets. Eyes of amber, a coat
of silky blue-gray, sinewy frame and
leonine rather than tigerish face, Joe
is magnificent specimen of cathood.
He not only answers to his name, but
understands and will obey simple di-
rections issued by his master, jump
ing on desk or chair at his bidding or
playing with cord strung across the
entrance in the office rail.
An instance of cat devotion of anex-
traordinary sort is found in a whole
sale dairy establishment on the east
side of Front street, near California.
Here is a wee motherless gray kitten,
so small that it can sit comfortably on
ones hand. In the store are five grown
cats-common cats of no pedigree, toms
and tabbies-and this elder band has
| assumed maternal care of the forlorn
little orphan. They watch it vigilant-
", seeming particularly apprehensive
lest it stray out upon the street, and
whenever one of them perceives him too
| near the open doors the older fellow
walks over to the kitten, picks it up
in its mouth and gravely carries it back
| and deposits it in the rear of the store.

AMERICANS FOND OF EGGS.
Per Capita Consumption of Hen Fruit
in This Country About
100 Yearly.

An English statistician has estimated
that the use of eggs in the United King
dom amounts to about AZ eggs per year
for each head of population. But, ac-
cording to available American statis-
tics, this would be altogether too low
an estimate for the consumption in
this country. When one begins to fig
ure on probable egg production in the
United States startling figures are en-
countered, Considering that popula-
ton of about 1000, 900 people is served
with eggs from the receipts at New
York city, the consumption in this vi
cinity would seem to be about $50 eggs
per year for each person. Probably this
is greater average consumption than
would be found to prevail in the whole
country, but it would be reasonable to
estimate an average of $50 eggs for
each person in the United States
about three eggs per week each. This
would necessitate a production of say
10, 500, 100000 eggs, about 26,00O,O0
cases, averaging 400 eggs each. When
st is considered that the receipts in
New York alone are about one-tenth
of this amount, while the population
using the New York receipts is little
more than one-twentieth of the whole,
it would seem certain that the above
estimate is below, rather than above,
the fact.
If all these eggs were placed in a row
lengthwise they would form a solid
chain of eggs nearly 100000 miles long
long enough to encircle the earth
more than II times, or TO reach 1Oo, 900
miles beyond the moon. If they were
packed in cases of an average size and
these were piled on top of each other
in the usual way, they would make a
tower of egg cases over 5000 miles high,
or they would stretch 10000 miles il
the cases were placed end TO end. II
the hens of the country average los
eggs per year each this rate Of produc-
ton would indicate a population OF
100000 hens, not to speak of roosters
and nonlaying chickens. At an average
price of - cents per dozen the egg crop
at this rate of calculation would repre-
sent value of Sos, ZOO, 600 per year

The Dog Expected 1t.

A New York society dame, who is an
ardent upholder of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, owns
little fox terrier of which she is eX-
ceedingly fond. a man who had called
on her the other day was admiring the
dog and asked its mistress how she,
with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to
cut off Snaps tail and ears to the fash
ionable degree of brevity. The dame
drew herself up and replied, with some
bauteur:
MY dear sir, Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to
have his tail and ears shortened" And
that BUNDLED man went away saying to
himself: That's the first time ever
thought of 'noblesse oblige' as applying
to fox terriers.'-N. Y. Tribune.

childlessness. Prince Amedeo, (who
by virtue of this childlessness is now in

fair-haired baby of about year, with
more than the ordinary amount of
babyish winning ways. One day the
princess met the little chap in corri-
dor in his nurses arms She would have
avoided him, as usual, but as she passed
with averted head lac suddenly held out
his fat, dimpled arms, and on the i'm

tears. The little fellow laid his lips on
each of her lids, stroking her cheek
with both hands She gave sob, and
has ever since been his most devoted

DRAGGED LION BY ITS TAIL.
a PIucky Woman in the Exposition
Animal Show Quickly QueIIs
Panic.

There was Il shortlived panic among
the ladies in the audience at Hagen
backs wild animal show on the Nation
al Export Exposition Midway one aft
ernoon recently. Mile. Pianka was in
the midst of her thrilling act with the
four big lions, which.she compels to per-
form all manner of tricks against their
will. One of the beasts had become
ugly and was snarling and leaping
about in the most alarming fashion.
The ladies in the audience had become
worked up to a very high pitch of nerv-
Gus excitement, expecting at any mo-
ment to see the angry beast leap upon
the Merry tanner and tear her to pieces.
It may be imagined, therefore, how eX-
tremely excited many of the audience
became to see another lion suddenly APP
pear in the open space between the big
cage and the tiers of seats. An attend
ant yelled at the beast, and a score or
more of women arose from their seats.
At that moment Mile. Pianka fired he-
revolver to subdue the unruly beast
with which she was battling inside the
cage, and this, of course, added to the
turmoil. Several women opened thei1
mouths to scream, but the next nom
they were laughing. For quicker than
it takes to tell it Mile. Morelli, the leop
ard-tamer, who had been standing near
the ticket office, ran in, and grabbing
the beast by the tail, carried it triumph
antly out of the way. It was merely
one of the lion cubs which are OCCASION
~ placed on exhibition in a little pen at
the entrance, but it looked big and
ferocious to the excited ladies in the

TRAVELLED AS A MAN.
Adventures Of q Woman VINO Want<
ed TO See the World as
Men See 1t.

Here is the story of q woman who
wanted to see the world, and saw 1T.
Her ambition was not to see 1T through
woman's eyes, but as men see 1T. There
was only one way 10 do this, and that
was to assume mems clothes. Being
of masculine appearance this other
wise insurmountable difficulty was
surmountable. Nettie Dickey, Of STAN
ton, Del, lately returned home after
her sixth tour as man satisfied She
has taken to dresses again, and this
time, she says, for good.
She began her adventures six years
ago. She was country girl, but am
bilious. One night when she was mend
ing her brothers clothes the idea oc-
CURED to her. The next day she went to
town and had her hair cut short, man
fashion. That night she put on her
brothers suit, pocketed her savings
and set out on her travels. She walked
three miles to Newark, boarded an ex-
press to Baltimore, and there got boat
for Norfolk. In two weeks her SIS was
gone, and she hired out to chop wood
But she did it so awkwardly that her
employer became suspicious. He con-
suited his wife and they accused their
woodchopper of being a woman. Her
nerve broke down, and she confessed.
4 telegram was sent to her father, and
he came after her and took her home.
4 year later the longing again laid
hold of Nettie, and she was off again,
She had saved quite a sum this time,
and went TO Chicago. She lived as a
man among men, boarding at cheap
lodging-houses and frequenting con-
h3I col Then
gave out and she took to an empty box
car, like many another tramp. Driven
out of this, she slept in an empty track
house. Routed from this, she wandered
about until picked up nearly dead OF
starvation and exposure. At the hos
pital her sex was discovered and she
confessed and was sent home.
Two years afterward she was of
again, as before, in mems clothes She
saw Philadelphia and Boston and New
York this time. She came 10 grief in
the Bowery, was taken to Bellevue
hospital, and from there sent home
Her fourth trip was to Pittsburgh,
and this time experience had taught
her that money had an end, and she
got home on her last dollar without
disaster.
Her last two tours also had success
full examinations. She always left home
without warning and in mems clothes.
She spent three weeks at an Atlantic
City hotel last year, her sex unsuspect-
ed, and this year she managed to see
New Orleans. She says now she has
seen enough of the world and is content
to remain home and be a woman for
the rest of her Efe.-Chicago Times

Value Male Bird. Most.

In the canary-breeding establish
ments of Germany only the male birds
are valued, for the females never sing.
The method of training the birds to
sing is to put them in a room where
there is an automatic whistle, which
they all strive to initiate. The breeder
listens to the efforts of the birds and
picks out the most apt pupils, which
are then placed in another room for fur
Their instruction. These are the best
