FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim of
Peculiar Disease.

In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England, writes a traveller,
81 shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage | would prevent
his burial at sea. He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
a sack for burial. A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
in the, sack. The sack was opened
and Lazarus eventually came to life
again. Such was the story Lazarus
told me. Lazarus was a thin man,
with sallow face. He had an enor-
nous appetite and appeared at every
meal, to which he devoted his whole
energies. The good feeling only
seemed to add to his corpse-like ap-
pearance. One evening, sure enough,
when we were about half way to our
voyages end. he apparently died
again. The doctors took him in
charge this time. however, and he
came out of his trance without any
shotted-sack episode. He was met
at the London docks by a number of
relatives and friends. all of whom
looked as if they might be suffering
from the same complaint.

SCIATIC TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY Mr.. MARSTON
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of n Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.

The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened He was first stricken about a
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: I" 1 was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. 1 didn' know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in a
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded i'll getting home, it was
just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
''The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for couldn't get out of
bed if / wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other
The moment 1 attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became SO ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then 1 dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice of
a friend bought box of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at dose, three times a day. 1 was de-
termined to give them a thorough trial
1.-TWO months after began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think Dr. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine I ever
used, and heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
TO Charles P. Marstor, Hampton P, O.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders. such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and locomotor ataxia- They are

Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.
1t is the simple life that gives
length of days, serenity of mind and
body and tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbors, simple pleasures, habits
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too
high and fall too hard A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
81 have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. l began rather spar
ingly, until l acquired such a liking
for it that for the last three months
I have depended upon it almost en-
tirely for my diet, eating nothing else
whatever, but Grape-Nuts for break
fast and supper, and l believe could
eat it for dinner with fruit and be sat
isfed without other food. and feel
much better ind have more strength
to do my housework.
when l began the use of Grape
Nuts was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that was not able to do
any work. l weighed only 108 pounds
Nothing that l ate did me any good.
l was going down hill rapidly, was
nervous and miserable, with no ambi-
ton for anything. My condition i'm
proved rapidly after l began to eat
Grape-Nuts food. 1t made me feel
like new woman; my muscles got
solid. my figure rounded out, my
weight increased 10 126 pounds in a
few weeks, my nerves grew steady
and my mind better and clearer. My
friends tell me they haven't seen me
look SO well for years.
81 consider Grape-Nuts the best
food on the market, and shall never go
back to meats and white bread again. .

TO RAISE MONEY At HOME.
Russia to Float a 100000 900 Loan
at Per Cent.

at Per Cent.
st. Petersburg, March 20.-An in
ternal credit loan of 100,000,000 on
a per cent basis is now being ne
gotiated by the ministry of finance.
The loan will be fioated probably in a
short time. The price of issuance
has not been determined upon, but
probably will be SO to 95. The Asso-
ciated Press was informed at the min
istry that the issuance of the loan is
entirely independent of the French
negotiations, which have not yet been
concluded. Domestic rentes will be
issued for a long term, and will, as
in the case of the internal credit loan,
foreign loans. The payment of the
interest and principal will be in gold
and probably will be taxable. The
determination of the government to
turn to Russia itself for funds was
taken only recently. Yesterday the
minister of finance conferred with a
number of the principal bankers of
st. Petersburg and Russia generally
and received the assurance that the
pTOJeCI WAS ledSlulS ne uduhS al z
prepared to underwrite on suitable
terms. The government savings bank
it is said will assume s25,000.000 of
the total, and such banks as the Mos
COW Merchants and the Volga and the
Kama banks are well able to under
write large portions of the loan from
their resources.
A director of a prominent bank said
that the banks of Russia could, if re-
quired, take he'bonds and hold them
in their own vaults. Questioned about
the price, he declared that SO would
be Every cheap, but he said the
conditions on that point had not yet
been determined.

GREAT ANXIETY FELT
!, News Of Military Developments for
Three Days.
lew GENERAL HAS COMMAND.
The Fourth European Corps Is De-
parting Southwark From Hardin
and General Linevitch Will Soon
Have Some Fresh Troops.

st. Petersburg, March 20.-Decided
| anxiety is felt regarding the fate of
| the army in Manchuria under its new
commander, no news of military de-
| velopment during the last three days
having been received. The only dis
patches from the front are the brief
announcements yesterday that Gener-
al Linevitch had assumed command
and that General Kuropatkin was de-
parting for ST. Petersburg, disposing
of a rumor that Kuropatkin had COM
mitted suicide, and the Associated
Press Chang Tu Flu dispatch filed the
morning of March 16 and written at
the station of Kaiyuan, which was
then held by the Russians. In this
correspondents opinion no pause in
the Japanese advance is probable for
some time. The Russians are losing
heavily in the rear guard actions and
Japanese columns are reported to be
pushing northward as fast as possible
to complete the development of the
Russian forces.
General Linevitch will have a con-
siderable accession of fresh troops in
day or two, the fourth European
corps being now at Hardin and de-
parting southwark. Military officers
declare that there are now 26S,000
men at General Linevitch's disposal
in Manchuria and it is believed that
this force will be sufficient to cause
the Japanese to exercise greater eau
ton in their pursuit
Prince Hilkoff, who will leave St.
Petersburg soon to prepare the ST.
berian railway for FORWARDING the new
levies which have been determined on,
said there had been no breakdOwns
as yet and that he hoped as soon as
navigation opened it would be possible
to transport one-fourth of the outgo-
ing soldiers by the rivers and relieve
the railroad to that extent.
Although General Kuropatkin's
downfall was inevitable from a mill
tary standpoint it arouses sympathy
in circles familiar with the long cam
paign that has been waged against
him by the general staff. General
Sakharoff was his open enemy and
General Dragomiroff his most severe
critic and many of his own subordi-
mates were jealous. Many epigrams
about General Kuropatkin's short
comings are attributed to General
Dragomiroff and the suppression of
the former at such critical moment
is directly attributed to Dragomiroff's
advice, Emperor Nicholas now giving
ear to the veteran strategist in mill
tary affairs.
General Linevitch is distinctly a
line officer with long record as
fighter He is almost as cordially dis
liked by the general staff as his pre-
decessor and there is also bad blood
between Kuropatkin and Linevitch,
dating from a personal quarrel in the
days when Kuropatkin was command
er of the trans-Balkal army, which led
Linevitch to demand satisfaction.
Kuropatkin assumed the position that
he could not fight an officer of inferior
rank. The succession of this officer
will naturally increase General Kuro-
patkin's discontinue.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion or
proStration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality they are all
only symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The Suf-
fering patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said that "a disease known is half
cured" In cases almost innumerable,
after all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible, the use of DIR. Pierce'S Fa-
vorite Prescription, supplemented when
necessary by medical advice and counsel
of DR.. Pierce, has resulted in perfect
and permanent cure. The genuineness OF
these cures is atteSted not only by the
entire disappearance of pain, but by a
gain of flesh, clear complexion and a
cheerful disposition.
A SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE.-Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is a scientific med
icine, carefully devised by an experienced
and skillful physician, and adapted to
woman's delicate organism. 1t is purely

Idol OF The Defeated Russians Meets

the Japanese hanging on the heels and
TANKS of the remnants of the broken,
defeated Russian army, General Kuro-

ing against Japan.
The word disgrace is written in
large letters in the laconic imperial
order gazetted, which contains not a.
single word of praise and also dis
poses of the rumor that Kuropatkin
has asked to be relieved. The Rus
sian military annals contain no more

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands

Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com.
ranies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points
to most prosperous year. There is
room for hundreds of thousands adj
ditional settlers, much new land hav-
ing been opened up for settlement
this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr. Geo. M. Girls
void of Red Deer, Alta, formerly of
Grever, Montana, written OF the End
OF January is as follows:
81 am located " miles from
beautiful lake 10 miles long, where
there is church, school, stores,
creamery and two postoffices. The
fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers) horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.
lumbia. This is a mixed farming
and dairy country. This is the right
time to get foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from
wind gumbo and alkali here and have
fine, clear soft well and spring water
at depth Of from to 25 feet, and
lots of open everfowing springs"
