DROUGHT IN NOVA SCOTIA
Cereals and Vegeta ables Suffering from Lack of Moisture-Hay
 Crop a Failure.

Nova Scotia is being scorched by one of the worst droughts in its history. This is particularly true of the eastern portion The upands of Pictou are as brown as they usually are late in tho autumn. The hay crop is much less than half an average. in some places less than third, and every other cropis sui fering.
 The farmers of Blue Mountain Garden of Eden and indeed every part of the country. are bemoaning their withered grass and scantily covered hay fields In some places the crop is so light. owing to the lack of rain that it seems hardly worth the labor of cutting; but grass is so scarce and so poor that not blade VIII he wasted that can be gathered in

Tie Peruvian government is about to found q national museum of natural sci ence. which will have its home in Lima and in which there will be three depart men,s one devoted 10 animal life. an- othel to plant fife and a third to miner ais The founding Of this institution was made the subject Of decree pro- mulga,ed on the l5th Of the present month and will probably mark an epoe1 in The scientific development and cul- lure of Peru
 The country has long been practically without any serious institution of tho kind. although some years ago a lauG- able effort was made to gather into the Exposition park al Lima a collection ot paintingsx Peruvian antiquities, and botanical as well as geological speei- meas The Exposition de Lima suffered much il the Chilian invasion in 1879 arAl has never since had adequate restora- tion or fnancia support.
 The Cuerpo de Insenieros de Minas body of government engineers. has done valuable work in the study of the coun- try's mineral resources. ahd publishes an interesting periodical devoted to this aEa kindred subjects The Sociedad Geosrafica de Lima which counts among its members almost all the prominent devotees of science in Peru. has also done much in this line as well as in mat ters of geography history and arche- )logY: so. too. the S0eiedad Nacional de Mineria and the Seciedad de Agricul- tgra. both bodies composed of cultured men have done much 10 further investl- eatian and bring matters of scientific interes; to the public view. But there has been want ef unity in the efforts of these bodies and decided need for some institution which might central iZe all scientific effort and provide the proper curatorship for collections. eta That want the museum of natural sci enees is intended 10 fill
 There is also a decided feeling in Pera that during the past too little attention has been paid to the very important archaeological treasures of the country. foreign scientists having often been generously assisted in conducting re- searches which almost invariably re- suited in the eXportation of valuable relics for the enrichment of some great museum abroad; special feature of the new museum of natural sciences, there fore will be the section devoted to Pe- ruvian archaeology.
 II is enjoined upon the ministry Of fo- mento cinterior1 to seek out. either in Europe or in the United States, three specialists in the sciences of zoology. botany and archaeology. whose duty it shall he 10 establish the new museum. Persons who have already made studies in South America will be pref,rred. al though this requirement. is not. under stand, absolutely 10 be insisted on.

IN GREAT DISTRESS
VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESISTED
 EVERY EFFORT TO CHECK.
Mrs. Bruoks Became So Wenk She Thinks She Would Have Died But For

Mrs. Brook. Became So Wenk She Thinks
 She Would Have Died But Ter
 Dr. Williams Pink Fills.
 Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 45 Lin soln Park. Chicago, Illinois, gives the following account of ner cure from dis dressing spells of vomiting:
 For five years off and on l was treated i'll vain by different doctors for relief from q stomach ouble which showed itself ill frequent and trying spells of vomiting. Part of the time l was able to work and again l would be confined to bed for three or four days ill succession.
 Nv stomach was al times so delicate that 1t would not retain even plain water. The spells wonld sometimes occur at in- tervals of half an hour, and would leave me so weak that would be compelled to lie down between them. l would have several of them during the night following day of such attacks Finally became so weakened that had to give up working altogether weighed only ninety-four pounds.
 Hast January I read about Dr. Will hams' Pink Pills for Pale People in one of the Chicago daily papers and bought box and began te use them. After l had used half box found that 1 could keep on my stomach the food Ia,e. was encouraged by this and kept on nsing the pills for four months. At the end of that time the vomiting spells had ceased altogether and my weight went up to 142 pounds and Is still growing.
 |" I think surely would have died if it had not been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills for 1 sometimes vomited clear blood, and for three or four days at time I could not eat bite of anything. One doctor said had chronic infiamma- ton of the stomach, md another said my difficulty was cancer, but none of their medicines did me any good at all. Finally I concluded that l did not have blood enough to digest my food and began the treatment that has cured me. l can eat anything now, and have strength for all kinds of work always keep Dr. Williams Pink Pills on hand. and l recommend them to my frienda because l know they cured me.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomachs and strengthen the digestive organs until they do their work perfectly. They are sold by all druggists.
