What Great Britain Dyes to Hollan,
and Pepper.

1t is curious to remember that when
England's commercial greatness was
a-making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their chances by their
greedness. There was popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters Of commerce the fault OF the
Dutch
Is giving too little and asking too much.
The whole course of English pre-
dominance abroad might have been
changed if the Dutch had not "asked
too much"
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had a trade monopoly
with the East Indies, and they "put
up" the price of pepper to such a point
that the English consumer struck"
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon q deci-
sion the Importance of which to Eng
land cannot be exaggerated. 1t was
nothing less than the resolution TO
form a London East India company.
The petition Of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted in 81
royal charter of Incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es-
tabIish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price Of
pepper. soon took to itself larger pur-
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India,
and from the quarrel about pepper the
corporation of merchants was des-
tined, through Give and its "nabobs,"
to give England vast empire.-Peag-
sons Weekly.

Mussels of PhiIippine.

During August and September as
many as 1000 to 1900 sacks, each con-
tanning nearly 200 pounds of mussels,
are dispatched every Wednesday from
Philippine alone. Holland, Belgium
and France are the best customers Of
the Philippine mussel farmers, but
quite a number of the cherished shell
fish find their way across the channel
from the Dutch beds to the Britishers'
dinner table,, In Philippine mussels
form, one may say, the staple food Of
the population. They are consumed In
every possible manner-stewed, fried,
in soups, in gravies and with particular
relish alive.-A. Pitcairn Knowles ia

Pioneer Passes Away.

Corunna, March 25.-After an
illness extending over a period of
several years, during which time she
patiently endured the suffering in
| cident thereto, and showed great
consideration for those whose duty
and pleasure it was to care for her,
Mrs. George Carruthers of Newburg
passed away Tuesday afternoon at
4 80 O'Clock, at the age of seventy
two years. The funeral will be held
from the home Thursday afternoon
at two O'Clock, conducted by Rev. j.
NJ. Stevens of. Bancroft. Burial will
take place at Newburg.
Mrs. Carruthers was one of the
real pioneers of the county and bore
her share of the privations incident
to the settlement and development
of this section. She was the daugh-
ter of Charles Topping, who lived in
Deerfield, Livingston county, where
she was born December 80, 1885,
and lived until her marriage to
George Carruthers, April 2, 1856.
Mr.. Carruthers brought his bride at
once to the home he was establishing
at Newburg, point famous in the
early history of the county and the
center of civilization for some time.
On the homestead there established
in the early days this couple have
lived and labored, and reared fam
lily of whom one son, e. B. Carruth-
ers. of Durand, and two daughters,
Mrs. w. H. Fay of Kansas City, who
reached the bedside Monday and Miss
Mollie, who has spent most of he,
life at home, remain, and with the
aged husband deeply mourn the loss
of a true and affectionate wife and
mother. A brother and sister also
survive, Orlando T. Toppings, of
Howell, and Mrs. J. l.. Gardner of
Hart.
For many years after ner marriage
Mrs. Carruthers took an active parr
in all the life of the early settlement
of the county and was universally be-
loved because of her many womanfy
qualities. She was kind and hos
pitable, and the Carruthers' home
was one where the latch string was
out to neighbors and to those who
passed through that section of the
country in the early days, and to
whom at that day more than at the
present the duties of hospitality de-
veloped upon those who were estab-
lished in their homes. An earnest
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church since girlhood she was ever
active in every good work for the
promotion of the best interests of the
church and of the community.
Mrs. Carruthers has been confined
to her home number of years by
declining health, and while the care
has become greater from year to year
she has borne up under the trial with
becoming fortitude, and accepted the
kindly ministrations of her daugh-
ter, Miss Mollie, who has been devot-
ed in her care. The influence OF
such a good woman Is never lost and
scores of friends and neighbors will
testify for years to come OF the kino-
ly love and sympathy shown them by
the one whom they now mourn.

A Retreatinq Chin.

Nothing weakens face more than a
retreating chin. Unfortunately compar-
atively little can be done for it. 1t can
be remedied to a certain extent in
childhood by rubbing from the throat
up and out, holding the head well up
during the process. Sometimes, too,
the trouble may be caused by the way
the jaws close on account Of the posi-
ton of the teeth, and good dentist
may often he of help. Bandages wore
round the chin at night, so placed that
the lower jaw is forced forward. VIII
sometimes remedy the defect slightly.

AN EARTHQUAKE MIRACLE.
One of Many Strange Stories Told
Among the Survivors at
MeSSina.

Many curious and improbable
stories were told in Messina after its
disaster, according to Robert HIGH
ems, who has written wildly and pic
turesquely for the April Century"
of his experiences and observations
After the Earthquake" One of the
strangest of the stories he heard he
tells as follows:
"A woman, after the shock, was
buried alone in her room. The door
was blocked by fallen masonry.
There was no means of ingress or
egress, and the rest of the house had
fallen in ruins. She was uninjured,
but she was imprisoned. In this
room she remained for eight days.
1t was a bedroom and contained no
food. During the eight days she
gave birth to twins. When search
ers with picks and spades dug down
to where she was, they found her
and the twins strong and well.
They took them out, and questioned
her as to how she had managed &c
live, why she had not starved.
Every day a woman came and
brought me food she answered.
"They pointed out that this was
impossible, as there was no means of
getting into or out of the room, ana
the rest of the house had fallen.
"I know she said. 'Neverthe-
less, it is true. DO not know how
she came or went. She never spoke
to me or looked at me. She was
there each day, put food for me Oh
the table and disappeared. / had
never seen her before and do not
know who she was
"They asked for some descrip-
ton Of the visitor, but could obtain
no details.
This woman was not raving. She
was in good health, we'll nourished
and had nursed the twins, who are
thriving. She persists in her story.
II told it to Sicilian.
a" 1T was the Madonna who
brought her food he said. She Of
ten does such things.

MAKE " YOURSELF.
Says Many Persons Here Can Be
Made Happy Again by The Using 1t.


There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice will be highly appreciat-
ed by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla.
Shake these well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at ed-time; also drink plenty of good
water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture,
and in most cases a permanent cure is
the result.
This simple receipt is said to strength
en- and cleans the eliminative tissues of
the Kidneys so that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poisons. acids and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism, but num-
erous other diseases. Every man or
woman here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.
