Added TO the New York City Library
One Is am Old Edition of John Wes-
ley's Hymnal.
Two rare books have been presented
to the New York public library by
Trustee Alexander Maitland. The more
important is John Wesley's first hymn
al, an octave volume of "a pages, print
ed at Charleston, S. c., by Lewis Tim
othy, in 1887.
Prior to the discovery of this little
book the supposedly earliest Wesley
collection was an edition-also rare
published in London in 1873, year la
ter than the Charleston production. Mr..
Maitland acquired the book recently by
private purchase. He would not tell
how much he gave for it.
The other is a volume of THE Laws,
statutes, ordinances and constitution,
ordained, made and esta blished by the
Mayor, the Recorder. Aldermen and as
sistants of the City of New York, con-
vened in Common Council for the good

Skilled Men in Demand.

The demand for skilled buttermakers
is expected to be greater this season
than ever before. A number of cream
erymen have been heard to express
themselves as being through expert
menting with poor, cheap help, as il
has proven very expensive, and they
will begin this season with competent
help. 1t is to be hoped that every cream.
eryman will see the profits to be gained
by employing a buttermaker skilled
in his art, and pay him good salary,
The buyers on our leading markets are
becoming more and more critical each
year, it is going to be the creameries
that turn out fancy butter every day
in the week that will be on top next
fall.-N. Y. Produce Review.

SAVED THE SECRET.
He Hoodwinked His Trusting WHEY
But at What n Fearful Cost
to Himself.

He had been out late When he reached
his residence the church clock was Ginning
five. Heavy, weary, disguised, he opened
the front door with some difficulty, and soft,
ly toiled up the stairs, entering the bed
chamber with elaborate caution.
Thank goodness, she was asleep!
He dropped into chair, and, without
taking off his coat or hat, began to remove
his shoes. One. he placed with great care
upon the floor, but, alas! as he took off the
other it slipped out of his hand and fell
with loud noise.
''Wifey" awoke on the instant.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
SO deceptive. 1t comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent
desire to urinate, often with a burning
sensation, the flow of urine being copious
or scant with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage
increasing desire tourinate, with scalding
sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease. .
There is comfort in knowing that DR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered Remedy fam

distressing cases and known as DIR. Xii

A Womabs Face.
PLEASANT FEATURES ADD T0HER ATTRACTIONS
This is Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acquire
Simple Rules to Observe

The look in a woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly.
Nothing adds more to woman's attractions
than a pleasant face and this is something
all can have or easily acquire. It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer-
else.
Many woman is continually cross, mo-
rose weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares, or the condi-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
and the cause of all the trouble, will be
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy of feeling, and a
merry household

no more than is bestowed upon her fine aces,
bric-a-brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but neglects herself
Every woman desires TO be picture Of
health" and she can be, for it is only mat
ter of health, rather than regular features or
perfect proportions, for without the vitality
of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman is regretfully watching the
growing pallor of her cheeks, the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way TO over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
woman's face is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-
dent of New Hampton, Mo.
Three years ago last April" f" she says, " |
had stomach trouble and afterwards female
troubles set in. | had very little appetite,
The true northerner., 1899-01-11

could not eat meats of any kind, and but few
vegetables.
" had severe backaches and was greatly
debilitaied. Having no strength my nervous
system became so affected that L had ner-
vous prostration. My kidneys did not act right
and, in fact, my system was out OF order and
| became seriously i'll.
" | tried two or three doctors without re-
ceiving any benefit At last | went to Dr.
X. ID. King, of Bethany, Mo-, and he gave
me three boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. / took two boxes of the pills
and Immediately began TO grow in strength
the stomach trouble became much better, the
spect | was considerably better. In three
months | could eat anything | wanted, and
had good appetite.
" / would say that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are the best remedy for
women to take during the turn of life 20 keep
them in health and 10 pass that age in safety. !"
When woman is passing beyond that age it
is a crisis in her life. Then, if ever, proper
attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant suflerings will disappear and
buoyant health will follow. if DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pills exert powerful influence in
restoring the system To its proper condition
They contain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood Consequently many kinds
of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the
blood. Druggists consider these pills to be
the most effective and best selling ones on the
market.

Of the upper ho1lse is not great. hut
Speaker Adams has some nights oil
hard toll ahead of him, as he has 100
members to satisfy, and he is supposed
to have made many promises TO get the
speakership, it will be no easy struggle
for him to comply with the demands
made upon him.
The crowd of applicants for clerk
ships, janitorships and positions as
messengers in the house seems greater
than ever, and Speaker Adams is beset
with hungry ones. AS usual, many OF
the members have brought their boys
with them, i'm the expectation of swell
ing their incomes with the two dollars
a day and mileage accorded these
pages. 1t is a fact that in the senate
there is not nearly SO much of this sort
of nepotism as in the house, and the
result is much better service from the
boys in the upper branch of the legisla
ture.
Senator Ira ID. Sayre, of Flushing Is
slated for the chairmanship of the sem
ate railroad committee. Other prob
able chairmen are: Wagar for the
banks and corporations committee;
Blakeslee for the finance and appro-
priations; Lyons for the judiciary;
Loomis for the cities and villages;
Wagner for the taxation; Brown for
the liquor traffic; Latimer for the fish
cries, and Heald for the military affairs
committees.
Until the committees are announced
speculation as to the form railroad leg
islation will take is Improbable and
the anti-Pingree plan is said TO be to
prepare bill which will increase rail
will depart from vital principle of the
Atkinson bill by retaining the present
system of taxation according to earn
ings, instead of on assessed valuation.
Michigan is TO have a, little war in
vestigation of her own. There are all
sorts of rumors flying about as to ex-
travagance and mismanagementi in the
matter of fitting out the troops. 1t is
probable that the governors followers
in the house will make the move for the
examination, seeing that it must come,
and thus seek TO weaken the effect of
the charges. One representative who is
very close 10 the governor on all else is
a demander of the investigation. He
says it is bad enough for Michigan to
have to pay G. o. d., but her credit must
be low if she has to pay in advance of
the manufacture of goods.
