Rider Haoqard.

Rider Haggard. the author Of The
Brethren" and a marvellous list OF Al
rican tales. is much more than writer
Of stories. though the world has known
him for the last dozen years only as
such. Back In the seventies he was a
big man in South Africa-master OF
the High Court of the Transvaal and
the man who, with Colonel Brooke.
hoisted the British flag over the South
African Republic. He was mighty
hunter in his South African days and
many of the shooting adventures so
excitingly set out in his novels are
written directly from actual happen
ings. 1t was in the eighties and nine
ties that he began to produce his fan-
Gus novels. In 1901 he took up his in
vestigation of the condition of agri-
culture In England and Is now noted
for his tireless work In the best intcr-
ests OF the British farmer.

Lifting by Magnetism.

The lifting of massive iron and steel
plates. weighing four, six and twelve
tons. by magnetism is now done every
workday in a number of large steel
works. The magnets are suspended by
chains from cranes and pick up the
plates by simple contact and without
the loss of time consequent to the ad-
justment of chain and hooks in the
older method. 1t is also found that
the metal plates can be lifted by the
magnets while still so hot that it
would be impossible for the men to
handle them. A magnet weighing 800
pounds Will lift nearly five tons.

FOR HOURS AT A TIME.
Sinking Spells, Headaches, rheumatism,
All Caused by Poor Biood-Cured by
DIR. Williams. Pink Pills.

When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
Ever since I had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, 1 have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state of lifeless-
ness. AT the beginning my strength
would come back III a moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless
as many rs three hours at stretch"
You were under medical treatment,
of course?'
Yes, when became so bad that
had to give up my housework, in May of
1908. l was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but had dizzy
feelings. palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state of
hopelessness?"
"In July of 1908 bad a very bad
spell, and my husband came i'll one day
with little book which told of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
blood-and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, aud
that was the beginning of my return to
health. My appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy"
For two months only. AT the end
of that time l had regained my health
aud cheerfulness. and my friends say
that l am looking better than l have
done for the past fifteen years.
