Mrs. Minnie Fielder, of Mt. Pleasant


Mrs. Minnie Fielder, of Mt. Pleasant,
Iowa, says:
II was afflicted for years with St.
vitus' dance. The first symptoms ofthe
disease began in 1889, when the nerves
began twitching in my left hand. I con-
suited physicians of this city, but none
of them ever did me a particle of good.
After I had suffered for two and one half
years. the disease continuing to grow
worse, I heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
"It was in 1891 that I was induced to
try them, and I was surprised at my
rapid Improvement. l took only two
boxes, and was entirely cured. 1t was
hard to realize that I, who for over two
years was scarcely able to walk, and who
often found it almost impossible to talk,
should be restored to perfect health and
in full possession of all of my powers by
two boxes of this wonderful remedy.
II am happy to state that my health
is still perfect and I have eve had the
slightest symptoms of a return of the
disease, although it is eight years since
I was cured"

THE GENTLE READER.
BE fOr She) Seems to Have Disappeared
with the Stagecoach.

What has become of the Gentle
Reader? asks Samuel n. Crothers In
the Atlantic. One does not like to
think that he has passed away with
the stage coach and the weekly news
letter; and that henceforth we are to
be confronted only with the stony
glare of the Intelligent Reading Pub
lie. Once upon time-that is to say,
a generation or two ago--he was very
highly esteemed. To him books were
dedicated with long, rambling pref
aces and with episodes which were
their OWN excuse for being. In the
very middle of the story the writer
would stop and with a word Of apol-
ogy or explanation addressed TO the
Gentle Reader, or at the very least
with nod or a wink. No matter if
the fate of the hero be in suspense or
the plot be incxtricably involved
''Hang the plotp' says the author.
81 must have a chat with the Gentle
Reader, and find Out what he thinks
about il"
And so confdences were inter-
changed and there was gossip about
the universe. and suggestions in re-
gard to the quceness Of human ma
ture, until, at last, the author would
jump up with: Enough Of this, Gen
tie Reader; perhaps it's time to go
back TO the story"

1t is estimated that only 900 buff

A woman who sells newspapers at
one end of the Brooklyn bridge has
made a $4,000 investment in tenant
property.
Labor men in Vancouver, B. c.,
are urging the imposition Of a heavy
tax on male domestic servants, the
object being to diminish the employ
ment Of Chinese and Japs.
Chinese has no grammar, as we
know grammar. According to its spo-
sition in a sentence a word is either
noun, adjective, verb or adyerb-the
word itself remains the same.
Prof. Lloyd Morgan, in a recent
address, stated that he had found that
young chickens, taken straight from
the incubator, could swim very well,
the power of swimming being perfect

There are about 3 900 miles of rail
road in Russia, of which $500 miles
are operated by the imperial govern
ment. Pension funds are maintained
for the employees of these roads.
These funds amount to something
like 55,OO0,OOO.
Are walters benefited by fees in
view of the fact that they make en-
ployers give them lower wages? OF

ton was put, only IA answered yes,
while 25 said no.
The visitors to Washington from
Mexico, Central and South America
are the most popular with the hotel
keepers in the capital, for they are
the most liberal spenders. They al
ways insist upon having the best
rooms and best of every other accom-

ject to the price.
The New Zealand government has
succeeded in putting a check on the
influx of Austrians. A large number
were landed in Sydney, but the New
Zealand government refused to allow
them to land unless the shipping COM
panies carrying them guaranteed their
maintenance for three months. Nat
urally the shipping companies re-
fused to book Austrian passengers.

No Railroad to Quito.

Quito, while a delightful capital,
cannot be approached by rail or by
wagon road In two years it is ex-
pected that a New York syndicate
will have completed railroad to that
point. Horses and mules and thou.
sands of men and women are engaged
in bearing burdens to Quito and other
towns. 1t takes 16 Indians about 80
days to convey a piano to Ecuador's
capital from the nearest point.

had pictured il inside as the brightest
example of exquisite taste, and
thought it would be a lesson in beau
tiful esthetic decoration, says a
writer in the London Chronicle. But
the furniture was simply appalling.
] have to this day nightmare recol-
lections Of an awful green tablecloth,
with a gilt edging to it, and cheap,
forlorn little vase in the center, and
there was a terrible sideboard and
hideous chairs and couches, all hud-
died up in faded chintz. Truly the
master delivered us from early Vic
torian bad taste, but he himself re-
mained in bondage to it all his days.
As for the Wallpapers, they were
enough to make Morris turn in his
grave. There was legend attach
ing to one designed, | think, by the
master himsel), representing very
realistic punches of flowers, with de-
testable scrollwork zigzagging all
about; the flowers were so naturalis-
tic that misguided bees had been
known to dash in at the windows and
hurl themselves onto the deceptive
roses. Once, being much tormented
by this repulsive wall paper and the
aforesaid legend, | ventured to ask
why his roses were right, though he
had demonstrated that Zeuxis' grapes
were wrong, and l was gliding softly
into his pet theory of representation
versus imitation" when he burst into
laughter, clapped his hands and said:
"His bees were wise and | was Il fool, "
whereupon [ changed the conycrsa-
ton.
The chairs and sofas | treated with
distant respect, as l knew papa and
mamma" and cold nurse" had sat on
them, and so they were evermore sa-
cred. | have an etching of one spe-
cial chair in which a great part of
"Modern Painters" was written, and
/ never look at it without taking my
hat off. Amid the bewildering ugly
surroundings were exquisite drawings
and rare paintings by Turner, Burne-
Jones, Prout and Titan, cabinets OF
shells and minerals, and the delight
full incongruity of it all was a con-
slant surprise and charm.

When the Deaf Hear.

1t is said that persons afflicted with
certain forms of deafness can hear
perfectly in the midst of tumult. A
locomotive engineer, upon examina-
ion by a medical expert, was found
to be very deaf, and, although he pro-
,ested that he could hear perfectly
well on his engine, he was suspend
ed from duty. Some time afterward,
having vainly tried to get cured, he
applied for reinstatement, again urg-
ing the fact of his perfect hearing
while on duty. Finally, in order to
satisfy him, the physician rode with
him upon locomotive for long dis
tance and put him to every possible
est TO the doctors surprise, he
'ound the man able not only to hear
ordinary sounds without difficulty.
but also to dist.agnish whispers and
faint movements that were inaudible
to his companion.

GOLDFISH THEIR ENEMIES.
Attack and Catch Lobsters Which Are
lust Out Of Their Shells.

1t is probably news to the majority
of people to know that the red or
rock Goldfish is a bitter enemy Of the
lobster that has just crawled out Of
his shell and is soft and unable to pro-
tect himself. During shedding time,
says the Lewiston Journal, these lob
sters crawl under projecting rocks
where the seaweed and kelp are thick
and where they find protected places
in which to grow through the process
of slipping out of their old shells and
taking on a new coat of mail, so to
speak. For some days'after shedding
Holsters are weak and unable to cope
with those fish that wage war upon
them. This fact the Goldfish seem in
tuitively to know, and they will
swarm around these Hetreaee1h great
numbers and wait for the shedders to
crawl out. An old lobster fisherman
said the other morning that many
times he had stopped his dOry over
large number of these red Goldfish and
watched their operations. He had
even dropped his line down and dan
.gled tempting bait within a few feet
of them. Unhess it happened to fall
in front of their noses, how
ever, they would seldom take it, as
they were after lobster meat. When
the thin-shelled Holsters would crawl
out from beneath the protecting sea-
weed the Goldfish would dart at them
ami strike them fierce blows with
their tails, disabling them complete
ly They would then fall to and de-
gour the helpless crustaceans. This
performance the lobster fisherman
said he had witnessed many times.

pHoSPHoRESCENT BACTERIA.
Microbes That, Kept Under Proper Cir
cumstances, Will Light Room.

NJ. Raphael Dubois, in paper read
before the Academic deS Sciences, de-
scribes a series of experiments in
which he obtains a luminous source
Of considerable intensity by the use
of certain microbes or photobacteria,
which have the power of emitting
light. These are allowed to propa-
gate in liquid bouillOn of special
composition, When the experiment
is made with good microbe cultures
to start with, and at the proper tenn
perature, the development is rapid,
and the liquid soon contains. the mi
crobes in sufficient quantity to give
the luminous effect. A glass vessel
is used to contain the liquid, prefer
ably with plain sides, and it is posi-
BILE in this way to light a room strong
ly enough to distinguish the features
of a person placed at several yards
distance, and newspaper type may be
read. The light has scarcely any
calorific effect, and the properties of
its chemical rays seem to be also
feeble, as it requires several hours
exposure with an instantaneous plate
to obtain good image; on the other
hand, the rays seem to possess con-
siderable penetrating power, as inn
pressions may be made upon the plate
even though screens of wood or card
board are interposed. A sheet of
aluminium is, however, not trayersed
by the rays.
In these experiments it is important
that the bouillon in which the mi
crobes are propagated should be well
prepared. 1t. should contain water,
salt, an aliment analogous to glycerin
or mannite, another represented by
the peptones or asparagine, and an
aliment containing phosphorous, such
as nucleine or phosphates, as well as !
traces of the mineral compounds |
which enter into the composition of |
such organisms. The use of peptone |
is attended with some difficulty, as
putrefaction is likely to set in and |
destroy the action; if it is used, it |
should be aerated by current of
sterilized air and slightly agitated.
With asparagine the best results
have been obtained, and the solution
keeps well, giving the phosphorescent
effect in free air; its cost, however,
is disadvantage. If we'll prepared,
the phosphorescent solution will keep
for long time without deteriorating;
.he experimenter has kept some sam
,les in basement at low tempera-
.ure for more than six months. He
expects to be able to increase the lu-
minous effect, and thinks that q
practical outcome may regah AEvn

THE pHoNocRApH.
Prominent Role Played by II in the Re-
cent Campaign.

cent Campaign.
"rhe Photographic record played
quite a prominent role in the recent
campaign, said St. Louis electrician
at one Of the hotels the other even
ing, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat "1t was used to
some extent four years ago. but it was
then in the experimental stage as
political adjunct, and the reproduce
tions were confined almost entirely to
Bryan's cross of gold peroration.
This time extensive preparations were
made in advance, and each party had
dozens of selections from which to
choose. The most popular were brief
extracts from addresses by the diff
ferent candidates, but campaign
songs, declarations Of principles and
jokes with the laugh on either side
one wishes have been sold by the
hundred The demand was princi-
pally from the country and small
towns, where the phonograph is used
to liven up the meetings of political
clubs, and in a number of states con-
gressional candidates have employed
the machine for sending messages Of
good cheer to- constituents in remote
parts of their districts. / spent sew
eral hours in record factory, and
was greatly interested in watching
them turn out new set of selections.
1t was curious spectacle One of
the first things undertaken was an
eight-minute Bryan speech. The OPP
erating-room was long and narrow,
with a huge brass horn at one end
and a sounding board at the other.
A little baldheaded man sat on stool
in front of the horn, holding a sheet
of typewriter copy, and behind him
at irregular intervals were seven or
eight men armed with megaphones.
In plain view was a large dial, divided
into minutes, to mark the time.
When everything was ready the little
man began to declaim, speaking in
very deep, slow voice, with distinct
pauses between the words, which COM
pletely robbed the selection of any
thing like dramatic quality. Now and
then ne raised his hand, and the chaps
with megaphones beloved solemnly
into space. 1t was most depressing
seance, but when the cylinder was put
into the reproducing machine l could
hardly believe my ears, The speech
was delivered very rapidly but with
beautifully distinct enunciation, and
the voice sounded fully an octave
higher than that of the little bald
headed fellow on the stool. 1t was
superbly clear and ringing and was
very like the tones Of the great Ne
braskan himself. Even the applause
had taken a new spirit and animation
and sounded like the thunderous in
terruptions of vast assemblage. I
was greatly puzzled, but the miracle
was easily explained. All that was
done was to speed up the machine
about a third faster than it had been
going when the record was taken.
That not only raised the pitch, but Sc
cured a distinctness unobtainable by
any other means. Itseems that there
are tricks in all trades bElt ours"
