Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreths Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow
els, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet Of
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of tho
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain OF solid
extract of sarsaparilla, which, with
other valuable vegetable products.
make it blood purifier unexcelled.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-ccsted.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams, Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure TO return vita
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has
beautiful home at 811 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered fol
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says
"My trouble began about six yearS
ago and did not rest as ! should
have, but kept UP about my manyl'
duties. After time l became sol

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
y$s Evolved Product of Centuries Of
Invention.

The point of a needle is a very i'm
portant part of that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con-
sumption of needles all over the world
iB something like 100000. while
every year the women of the United
States break, lose and use some 3OO,-
100000 of those tiny tools. Few peo-
pie while threading a needle have
ever given thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before 1t comes out
needle. Yet the manufacture of
needles includes some Fl different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length of wire, heading, hard
ening in oil, cleaning out the sides OF
the eye, point-setting, and final pol
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since 1t prevents rusting. There
are many sorts Of needles, for sur
geons', cooks, glovemakers, weavers',
sailmakers', broommakers' milliners'
and dressmakers use The needle Is
the evolved product of centuries Of
invention. In it's primitive form it
was made of bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in
significant instrument. is now one Of
the highly-finished products of twen-
tieth century machinery and SKILL

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out In the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-

is a contagious affection Of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever There have been more
than 100 cases. Prof Spronck has
made careful anlysis Of blood taken

Snakes Reared for Their Skins.

The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and should be exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
systematically reared for the sake Of
their skins, which have a considera-
BILE commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskin Is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card
cases, dressing-table accessories, etc.
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson-
GUS fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an agreeable article Of diet

Counsel Arguing Over Testimony.

Thaw with questions as to her relations
with White demanding to know every
detail, and while bitter tears were
yelling to her eyes, two newspaper
women accustomed to harsher scenes
of life hastily left the courtroom and
made hasty retreat out of the big
portals.
New York, Feb. 26-Except fol
one brief moment, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw had decidedly easy day Mon
day during the continuation of her
cross examination by District Attor-
ney Jerome. When announcement was
taken, the prosecutor announced that
he had practically concluded with the
witness.
During the morning session Mr..
Jerome played his strongest card OF
the day. Mrs. Thaw denied most
positively that she had ever been to
see Doctor Carleton Flint with Jack
Barrymore
Call DR.. Flint" commanded Mr..
Jerome.
The doctor entered from the witness
room and was escorted to within few
feet of the witness chair.
did you ever see that man before?'
Mr.. Jerome asked Mrs Thaw.
The witness seemed a bit startled,
looked quickly and intently at the
physician, then turned to Mr.. Jerome
and shook her head
Never" she declared.
Thaw was intensely interested and
when the incident was over he turned
to the newspaper men sitting nearest
him and whispered, "That man made
a mistake in coming here. He stood
there a liar. Do you catch the point
"a liar"
Mrs. Thaw was in much better
spirits when she took the stand Mon.
day and looked decidedly better ply
sically than she did last week, She
had all her wits about her and did not
fare at all badly at the hands of the
district attorney, who was more gen
tie in handling the witness
Instead of further hurting the cause
of her husband, Mrs. Thaw managed
to make two decided gains. When
court adjourned last Thursday it ap-
peared from her own statements that
she had used letter of credit from
Stanford White while touring in Eu-
rope and had turned the letter over
10 Thaw. She explained Monday that
Thaw took the letter of credit from
her, saying the money was poisonous
and neither she nor her mother should
touch it and that he would provide
them with funds. Whatever had been
spent of the money, she declared,
had been for her mother.
The second point Mrs. Thaw made
was concerning the cabegrams which
Thaw is said to have sent to Stanford
White from London. 1t appeared
Thursday that these cablegrams were
requests to White to use his Influence
in keeping Mrs. Nesbit from raising
a row" and interfering with Evelyn con-
tinuing in company with Thaw. Mr..
Jerome took up the subject again Mon
day, but his questio1s solicited the In
formation that the letters did not con-
Germ Mrs. Thaw at all, but related TO
a mana secretary of the American
embassy--in London, whom Mrs. Thaw
said, had "sneaked up to mama's bed
room and insulted her. She said the
man had also insulted her and that
Thaw had gone in search Of him but
failed to find him.
