THE MAJOR'S EXPERIENCE. From the Detroit Free Press. One of the stanchest supporters of the deep water way from the Great La Lett to the ocean is Major A. C. Bishop, of 715 Third Ave., Detroit, a civil engineer of wide expe rience and considerable prominence in his Srofession. He was assistant engineer on the [udeon River Railroad in 1850 and has since conducted large engineering opera tions. He lias been located in Detroit, since 1815, and has a large acquaintance among the business men and citizens of this city. Two years ago, for the first time, Major Bishop was in the hospital. For two months he had the best of medical attendance, but when he was discharged he was not like the Major Hishop of old. When asked regard ing his health, he said: "When I haa my iast spell of sickness and came out of the lospital I was a sorry sight, I could not gain my strength, and could not walk over a block for several weeks. "I noticed £ \ V \ lome articles t- -Js. j in the newspa [/■ 112 v per a regarding ' , \ Dr. Williams _ ltt I'ink Pills for Pale People, which co n y- k vincedme that 5,2 w they were worth trying and bought V )1 wl two boxes.

Many diseases lonp supposed by the medical profession to bt incurable have succumbed to the potent influence of these pills. They can be taken by young or old, being harmless in their nature, but powerful in eliminating disease. The Font of KnowlrdKr.

Daniels, of the New York Cen tral & Hudson River Railroad, has made an announcement which is of a rather start ling nature, but it is one which ought to please the patrons of that great system, and particularly those who travel on mileage books, 'ltn circular reads as follows: Mileage books, good for 500 miles and 1,000 miles travel, are now on sale at ail •tations ua the New York Central (divisions arid branches) at the rate of $lO and S2O respectively. These tickets are good until used, and are available for passage on the main line of the New York Central, and all of its branches and divisions, including the Harlem, Put nam, Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg, Carthage & Adirondack, Geneva & Lyons and the Adirondack (Utica to Montreal) di visions. Mileage books will be issued in the name of the head of a family or firm, and will be available tor the use of any member of such family or for any traveler for a firm, pro vided the name of such member or traveler is written in the book by the agent selling jt, in the place designated. They will be honored for transportation by the conduct ors of all trains, including limited trains, but only to the end of the run of each conductor. If the holder of such ticket desires to ridc bevond the run of a conductor, or on a night train, or to a point on a branch line, he should present his mileage ticket to the ticket agent, who will detach the proper mileage and issue a mileage exchange ticket, on which baggage will be checked to any stn tion on the New York Central or any of it branch lines, thus avoiding the necessity of being disturbed after retiring, or of recheck ing baggage —From the Pittsbuigh Post August 21, 1898.

To be thoroughly graceful long steps and quick short steps should be equally avoided, remarks a French woman. A stiff walk is also very ungraceful, and that is the great fault of English girls. They walk too stifly and take too long stride*. Spanish women have a very pretty walk, naturally, as also have Italian country girls and all accustomed to carry weights on their heads. To exercise walking a weight on the head is a very good lesson. You must not. be content, however, to walk straight before you without letting the weight fall from your head. You must turn backward and forward, and from side to side, as Italian country girls do when they carry their water jars from the well and can turn in all di rections without a drop of water be ing spilled from the jar on their head. More marriages are made up at the well in Italy than in any other public place. Young rustic fellows stand by the well to watch the girls fill their Chrysanthemum Yellow and Watermelon Pink Cape. Evening wraps, as a general rule, are so expensive that the woman with only a little to spend and a great deal to buy feels that she is unable to indulge in such a luxury; but thanks to the beautiful new flannel that is now being imported every person can have something daiuty for evening without a sacrifice. The new flannel comes in all the leading colors and you can get it both striped and figured. Five yards will make a cape and two yards of silk will make the frills. The Wrap in this case is of chrysanthemum white flannel with watermelon pink stripes run ning through it and big yellow chrysan- jars and carry them away on their beads with a grace given only to them; and the most graceful among them has the most admirers from whom to choose her husband. The French are also very graceful walkers. Study your walks, girls. Take danc ing lessons to begin with and then re peat your lessons before your long toilet glass. A pretty walk is a beauty in itself, and everyone who will can acquire this beauty. Do it, then, at once—now —without losing another day.—N. Y. Herald. llenuvuliiiK White I'lumra. To clean white ostrich feathers cut »>onie pure white soap in small pieces and pour boiling water on them and add u little mite of soda. When the soap is dissolved and the water cool enough, dip the feathers in and draw them through the hand. Do this sev eral times until the lather is dirty, then make a clean lather and repeat the operation. Afterward rinse the feathers in cold water, slightly blued. Pat the feathers between the hands and shake them over the fire until they are perfectly dry. Curl them by draw ing each filler between the thumb and the dull edge of a silver knife. With a little care and patience the re ■ uic will be all that can be desired. A Mlaunetlc IMnnt. There has been discovered in India a strange plant which possesses aston ishing magnetic power.

QUEEN'S LOYAL LOVE. Amrllr of PortutfHl Studied Medlcln* fur thf I'urpoNe of Doctoring Her Himliand. Queen Amelie of Portugal is an ad vanced woman, though she is queen of one of the least progressive nations in Europe, and i daughter of the con servative house of Bourbon. When this gay and pretty princess, who had QUEEN AMALIE OF PORTUGAL* been brought up in England, married blonde and good-natured King Carlos I.of Portugal, she did what few royal ladies do. she fell in love with her hus band. No humble Darby and Joan ever lived in more peaceful conjugal content than these two young royal ties. Not only does Queen Amelie think her husband the best of men, themums scattered over it. The collar it very high and is made so that it can b« turned down when the wrap is thrown open. Three yellow China silk frills are sewed around the cape about a foot apart, and tha whole wrap is lined with pink nearsilk. The hat worn with this cape is of soft white felt trimmed only with two long ostrich plumes and ,i rosette of pink ribbon and a yellow chrysanthemum under each side of the brim. As the long plumes ara very expensive it is a very good idea and a great saving of money to purchase two cheap ours and sew them together so that they make one long, full feather. but she lias ever been most proud of her blonde, but rath-er chubby beauty, and great has been her grief over bis yearly increase in weight. Some time ago King Carlos' figure went the way common to most unfortunately stout men, and though he lias borne the loss with princely good nature, to Queen Amelie it was a deep source of dis tress. After traveling about with him to many spas and cures for obesity and seeing no cutting down of the royal waist measure, this plucky woman set to work to achieve a sufficient knpwl edge of medicine to enable her to con quer her husband's one weakness. For five years the qii'en has studied medicine under the ablest physicians in Portugal, and at length took her degree of M. t). after passing the most rigorous examinations. Since her debut as a full-fledged doctor of medi cine, she has actually been able to do more for her husband's health than any of the great specialists to whom he resorted. But this good' lady does not apply her scientific knowledge to selfish purposes alone. She has estab lished in Lisbon a free clinic, where the poor children of the city ree« ive treatment, often at the queen's own hands, and thus, by her noble sympa thy and tender regard for the people, she has gained a unique position tie a sort of nurse, mother and friend, a» well as a sovereiga.

Never before in history was there a ca*e where a defeated and captive enemy re ceived such generous treatment as we gavd the Spaniards. Other nations are aston ished. Equally astonishing are the cures brought about by Ilostetter's Stomach Bit ters.

All nations have benefit ed by it, and all praise it. Spanish Deterioration. That the Spanish character has deterio rated greatly since Isabella's reign is again shown by the fact that, while poor Colum bus can't lie still, his descendants can. — Kansas City World.
