u THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 18J)T. The Mutual of a. Smmmer Joimreey From New York io Warsaw To Odessa by Way of the Mediterranean. lion, Cbarlca A. Dana, In tho Sun. It was a beautiful nfternoon In afay when our ship steamed out of tho har bor of Marseilles. We had laid out an interesting scheme of travel, find wo were now bctflnninjr Its realization, wo were polnR through tho Medltcrranenn, stopping; at two places In Greece, thence to Hnlonlca. and Constantinople, and from there to Odessa In llussla. From there by ship tho whole lenstli of tho Jllock sen. to Bataum, thence by rail Jo Tlllls and Baku on tho Caspian sea, then ncaln by rail to Samarcand in Turkestan, oiid llnally back from Cen tral Asia through European Russia, Poland and Germany to tho Atlantic again, and so to Now York, making In all from the commencement to the end a Journey of perhaps 16,000 miles. It began most pleasantly, and so It continued to the closo. Not a. single Btorm of tiny Importance, not n mishap of any kind came to Interfere with our comfort. It U truo we were not ablo to get beyond the boundarlss of trans Caucaslaj but that was duo to tho tem porary breaking up of tho mountain railway between Tlitis and Baku;. but apart from that we woro ablo to carry out our full plan. And In duo tlmo we found ourselves safely at home again on the delightful borders of Long Island Sound. Vro bad tho luck to pass through tho Btrait of Bonifacio, which aeparates Corsica from Sardinia, in full daylight, bo that wo could see fairly tho extreme points of each of thoao famous islands. fXhoy are hilly and wooded near tho Btra.lt, and ontj could not help wishing to go ashore on each and explore tho whole interior. Next day wo passed nmong tho L-Iparl Islands and saw both the crater of Ktna and tho smoking cone of Stromboll. Tho Strait of Mes elna, between Italy and Sicily, wo reached Just ae the twilight was com ing on, and the only idea we could gain of the scenery was from the vague outlines of tho heights, and tho mo33 pf twinkling lights in the streets and houses gleaming through the darkness and showing tho position of Messina. TIME'S CHANGES. CharybdU and Scylla aro passed al most without noticing either. Yet, wo reflected, a whirlpool which could mako a great disturbance and danger to nav igation in tho time of Ulysses, might only prove a trlilo to a modern, steamer of 6.000 tons. The plan of our voyage included two landings in Greece, one at ivaiamaia in tho ancient Peloponnesus, and the oth er at Syra, an island omongi the Cy cladea. Wo were very glad of this opportunity to bso something more of the modern Greeks and of the cities they live In. Kalamata is at the head, of the Gulf of Koron, some thirty or forty miles north of Capo Matapan. It Is a busy manufacturing, modern place of 5,000 to 8,000 inhabitants. The principal Industry appears to be the manufacture of silk. Our anchor was hardly thrown out befopj peddlers of silk things were on board, selling what they could to the passengers. The goods seemed to bo hand-woven, solid and substantial, and of only two or three simple coirs. Handkerchiefs worth from one to two francs each, and pretty scurfs, thin and gauzy, formed the principal articles of those dealers traflic. They also had white and drab materials for women's dress es, but I saw no printed stuffs. Fram Kalamutu. to Syra occupied a whole night, taking us around the southern extremity of Greece and to a considerable distance eastward from the coast. Syra, with Its 30,000 or 40,000 people, 13 a very attractive plate, en tirely European In uppearance, with line residences, churches, morusteries, and other public buildings on the slopes of a high hill, while tho commercial quarter is spread out on tho lower lands along the shore. Tho people in both' these towns seem to have a great deal In common with the Greeks of classical times. Activity, energy, quick wit, nnd ability to take care of thern pelves form conspicuous traits of the population. Syra Is said to be the most important town In tho kingdom after Athens, and a walk among its streets and shops confirmed tho impression formed In other towns where the Greeks evidently predominate, that no people are better able to mnnage their own business than these Intellectual, practical, energetic, and open-minded descendants of the nntiquo Achaians. They are surely nmong the most use ful and efficient citizens of tho modern yorld. MOUNT OLYMPUS. The next morning as wo were moving northward along the coast of Mace donia, tho Thraclun Olympus, with snowy summits, towered before our eyes In the west. It Is a noble and most impressive group of mountains, and no one who sees it in a clear sun rise will condemn the early Greeks for making it the special abode of their divinities. Perhaps the Myslan Olym pus, which arises above the Turkish city of Brussa, Is grander, and cer tainly It Is some th'ousands of feet high er; but It lacks the majesty and vari ety of its Thractan compear. We reached Salonlca at about noon, nnd had ample time to drlvo about the city during the stay of tho ship. Its appearance is very gay and cheerful, considering the amount of history that attaches to it. Here Xerxes had his camp on his way to overwhelm Greece; hero Cassander, brother-in-law of Alexander the Great, gave to the un conquered town the name of his wife, Thessalanica; here Cicero lived in ex ile; here was the Church of the Thes salonlans to which Saint Paul ad dressed two of the most Interesting among his epistles. The place has now some 130,000 inhabitants. It has a considerable extension along the wa ter front, and it reaches up the long slope of Mount Kortiash, quite far in land. I had heard that was rather dirty and disreputable, but wo found it cheerful and reasonably clean In the beautiful sunshine of that lovely bustling streets tho European clement seemed to predominate, and I could not discover that tho Turkish ownership gave to the city any special differ ence of physiognomy compared with the more progressive town of Greece. A. PASHA ABOAP.D. Our next stopping place was to be Constantinople, nnd early in our stay at Salonlca tho captain told me that two Turkish domestic establishments, one of them belonging to a Pasha, were coming on board as passangers for that metropolis. Presently tho Pasha appeared, in a high hat and frock coat, altogether a European looking gentleman; and with him ar rived his ladles, one of them a hand some middle-aged womln, unveiled, looking Ilk? on Itallan.mrtth bright block eyes and pleasant bearing. Sho was followed by three others in semi European costumo all wearing tho yashmak or Turkish veil, which leaves the forehead and eyes uncovered, and hides the rest o( tho features. But what excited my Interest particularly was the chief of the household, the principal eunuch, evidently an lmpor tant personage, qulto stout and with a noble air of dignity, yet good-natured and friendly-looking. For ho two harems of our two distinguished pas sengers tho captnn opened separate gangways near tho rudder-post nft, disclosing suites of cabins that wo MOUSTAPHA BEY, luTRcy's Representative nt Washington. Washington, April SO, Moustnpha. Bey Is tho man who will tell Secretary Sher man nil ho la entitled to know about tho war between Greece, or,tl Turkey. AIous tnpha is the Turkish "plenlpo" at Wash ington, atul he Is a notable llguro in tho capital. 'No matter what ofllcliil society may think about the unspeakable Turk nt Constantinople it takes very kindly to his suave and pollshext representative In Amer. Ica. Tho Turkish minister hail a great run with the ladles when he tlrst cr.mo to Washington. Anxlou3 Inquiries were irnclo at onco as to tho number of his wives, and tho relief was great when ho 6OK by the beard of the prophet that ho had but one. Like nil tho Turkish repre had not before suspected. As soon ns the ship had started tho new Inmates withdrew to their quarters, nnd were seen no more until wo were In Constan tinople. An interesting incident In our pass age from Salonlca wns a pause for the custom house visitation in the Darda nelles, which this time occupied per haps two hours. It was varied by the arrival of the habitual boatload of fan somewhere In that neighborhood, and Is not only fantastic, but ugly. Yet ev erybody buys a specimen nnd carries it home as evidence of having been there. There is some display of mili tary life at the Dardanelles: but wheth er the showy forts nre really formid able wo could not tell, and did not care much. It was far more engaging to the mind to gaze over tho broad plain that lies toward the site of an cient Troy, and to Imagine tho ships and the llchters and the scenes that were gathered there in the days of Achilles and Agamemnon. CONSTANTINOPLE. Wo reached Constantinople the next morning, and, instead of being an chored out in tho middle of tho har bor, as had happened to us on for mer visits, we saw our ship tied to the wharf and were able to walk ashoro down an ordinary gangway. Wo had the day before us, and put It.ln first by a visit to the Bazaar, which wo found sndly modernized. Tho roof, which used to extend over the narrow nnd crooked passageways which ramify through It like streets, was gone, nnd an air of novelty and cleanliness had succeeded the dirty and picturesque antiquity which wo had seen there in former times. Our old friends, tho deal ers in carpets and bric-a-brac, were still there, however, and tho coffee which they served was quite ns en chanting as ever. Why is it that Turkish coffee is so much better than all others? It is a kind of potentlal Istlo and transcendental preparation that other lands do not know and very poorly imitate. From the Bazaar we drove to St. So phia, the most noble, most impressive, and most religious of religious structures, superior, I think, in its effect upon the soul to every other templo or worship. It Is impos sible to pass under Its high arches or to cross its wide pavements wunoui emotions or reverence and adoration. In one place, a little dis tance from each other, were assembled groups of students, nil sitting upon tho iloor with tho Koran In their hands, listening to the loud reading and ex position of their two professors who would first give a passage from the sacred book, and then pause to explain and comment. The reading wa3 appar ently In Arabic, and I thought that the exposition was also In that lan guage, but In this I may have been mistaken. The only point that I was quite sure of was that neither of the two schools seemed to be Interfered with by tho other, although the In struction in each was audible to tho students of tho other as well as to the strangers who stood around. From St. Sophia wo drove to the museum of antiquities at Seraglio Point. This is an institution which has existed more than forty years, but It Is only Irt the last ton years that it has risen into serios Importance. Now, the law Is that all objects of antiquity un earthed In any part of tho Turkish em pire must be brought here for preserva tion and exhibition, and an experienced antiquarian can spend a day proiltably In examining the collection long since assembled, GREEK AUT. But It was not until 1887 that the great discovery was made at Sldoti, which has raised tho museum to high distinction among tho famous collec- tlons of tho great European cities. This discovery produced seventeen sarcophagi, tho most important of them Greek, all of which nro now to be seen here. One among them, known as tho sarcophagus of Alexandet the Great, excels nil tho others, and must bo ranked among the most admirable remains of Grecian sculpture. Though there is no reason to believe that it was made for Alexander It is called by his name lecauso his elllgy Is con spicuous among Its carvings. It Is of whlto marble, perhnps a little less than six feet high, nnd all four of its sides are covered with tho noblest style of Greek art. On one side a hunt is depicted; on the other side a bat tle, and each end has a battle scone. Tho entablatures, which are covered with these scenes, aro pe'hap.i two feet and a half in height. Tho figures nre in high relief and In violent ac tion, nnd, what is more remarkable, they are all gently tinted with delicate colors that ndd much to the effect, but do not Injure the quality of the mar ble surface. It Is one of the most won derful works that have been recovered from antiquity, worthy of being sentatives In America, Moustnpha. has left his wife, or wives, nnd his family at his home, a great palace on a high hill over looking tho city of Constantinople, sur rounded by tropical gardens and vlne vnrds.

Precisely when It wns made, or who was the artist who conceived1 and executed such a glorius production, Is unknown. There is no mention or allusion clas sical literature that indicates either Its epoch or its authorship; but the trav eler who has not seen it should pack his trunk as quickly ns possible, and take his tickets for the Golden Horn. BOUGH ROADS. Our day was now well advnnccd, yet after St. Sophia and the museum nnd the bazaar, it was still Impossible to leave the place without driving around the ancient wnlls. Few things in all Europe are better worth seeing; ami, if I were to visit the old city a thou sand times, I should always wish to see them again. The day was lovely, and our carriages 'were good, but the roughness of tho streets was something that no one could imagine without driving through them. The further west you go nnd the nearer you ap proach to the ancient towers, the more precipitously rough, backward, for ward, and sideways, tho roads become. How.tver, we lived through it, until we reached the headwaters of the Golden Horn. There, hiring a boat and row ers, we dismissed our shattering cabs and got back to our ship In time to mako everything comfortable before she started to go up the Bosporus. As we were passing out of tho Gol den Horn and turning our prow toward tho north we came upon a lovely American yacht of perhaps 300 tons, painted white and bearing the sturry banner. What her name was and who was her owner we could not find out. But it was almost like seeing home onco more, and all our hearts pave three choers again and again. The Journey up the Bosporus from Constantinople to tho Black sea is among the spectacles that every trm eler celebrates. We accomplished it In sunshine, and with the ilowers of the peach trees and Judas trees in full dis play. Tho distance Is perhaps twenty-five or thirty miles, and the high and gently sloping and varied shores are covered with villas, pales, gardens and castles. It was indeed a delicious excursion. Weentered tho Black sea before dark, and without further r.l venture found ourselves at Odessa the second morning afterward at about 10 o'clock. O.VE DEMOCRATIC KING. The Monarch of Denmark Doesn't IMit On Many Trills. While walking on. the streets of Cop enhagen some years' ago with tho American Minister, I saw, says Rob ert P. Porter, an elderly gentleman In a modest uniform, accompanied by a magnificent bloodhound, walking to wards us. The pavement was narrow and wo were walking on tho Inside. Without giving ua a chanco this kind ly man. erect as an arrow, stepped from the sidewalk into tho street, and saluted our Minister military fashion. Wo both returned tho salute and passed on. "Who is that?" said I. "Why, did! you not recognize him?" "No; who was ho?" "The King, whom you met the other day." "Why, so it was; but I did not ex pect to seo .him prowling around this street." The King of Denmark Is a great rambler. He may bo seen nearly every afternoon, walking along the wharfs and quays of Copenhagen and In the public thoroughfares. Ho Is a frlond of the people and usually beloved. Moreover, ho Is a modest, unpreten tious gentleman, nnd a man of courage. NEW THINGS IN TIE WAY OF WHEELS. Changes in the Bicycle Patterns for 11897. From tho Sun. " Taking a general view of tho char acteristics of tho '97 wheels of tho leading makers one finds that nil mak ers agree in an effort to maintain tho standard prices of last year, while Humber hH announced an advance of $5, and that there Is a tendency toward the uso of larger tubing for the frames, and of flush Joints. The Columbia, tho Victor, nnd the Crescent makers all announce that they will use larger tubing than that In last year's model, Tho Victor nnd the Spalding will also make changes In the form of some of their frames. In the ense of the Vic tor, thero was complaint, tho makers say, that tho top of tho frame was too short. In tho standard 24-inch frame this has been changed by making the top bar one inch longer than It was In '06. This change gives a different shape to tho steering head, hut Is not permitted to alter tho hang of the front wheel, which was believed to mako the Victor an unusually easy machine to steer. In the new model the forks of tho wheel' nre bent to a new curve, which still leaves tho steer ing head pointing exactly to tho place whore the front wheel strikes the ground. In the Spalding the change in form Is to mako the top bar of tho diamond run parallel with the ground Instead of dipping toward tho rear, and In making the heights of the frame for men's wheels 22, 24, and 26 inch in stead of 20, 23, and 26 Inch. The ten dency toward putting on higher gear Is shown In the Humber, the Crescent, and tho Spalding. The normal gear on the first two named will be 80 Inches and 78 Inches on the Spalding, with an option of other gears. Every one knows Mint the higher gear Is more ef fective upon good level roads, but it was naturally supposed that a low gear would be best for worse conditions, but during the last year many riders have become convinced that the higher gear did not have In practice the the oretical disadvantages in hill climbing or going through sand that It wns sup posed to have. Most makers show some changed form, of bearings, and almost every one of them lays claim to some new dust-proof quality, but as yet no one shows a gear case to protect from dirt that most vulnerable part, the chain and sprockets. That there Is a ten dency, however, to Introduce the gear case seems evident from tho fact that provision lias been made on several makes to leave room for It. The Hum ber people quote gear enses at $9, al though they have none In stock. Many makers call attention to chains which they nssert are better In strength nnd quality than those of previous years. All of these, however, are of the ordi nary block variety, except that on tho Keating machine, which Is provided with a roller chain. A new stylo of sprocket wheel has been adopted by the Humber and the Remington, which seems to have points of great advan tage. In this case, In addition, to the sprocket teeth which engage with the chain, there is formed, on each side of the face of the wheel a narrow flange, and upon this the edges of the side links of the chain rest. The clear advantage lies In the fact that .the ilange prevents the chain from draw ing down over the sprockets, nnd this getting out of the proper position, In which its touch upon the sprocket teeth Is a rolling friction only, and be coming a sliding friction. Dirt In such a gear Is likely to be more of a dis advantage than It is in the usual sprocket wheels. The makers of tho Victor and of the Spalding will each have $75 machines this year, besides their regular $100 machines. In the case of the Victor, tho announcement is plainly made that tho 573 machine of '97 will bo the '96 model, made and finished In the same manner as the $100 machine. The ex tra cost of the new model machine, the makers say, lies largely In the pro viding of new machinery and tools for It, and by continuing to use the mach inery of last year, the old model can bo profitably made and sold at the low er price. The Spalding $75 machine, al so, will be the makers 9C model, except that a new hub, designed nnd used for the '97 machine, will be substituted for tho style which proved weak in tho spoke sockets In last year's wheels. Of course, many of the changes which have been made in wheels nre of con sequence only to the maker, or of in terest only to the mechanic. Changes, for Instance, which aro to provide easi er or better ways to insure strengtli In tho frame or general parts, aro of little consequence to the buyer except where those parts were proved by last year's tests to be especially liable to give trouble. Taking now a more detailed view of tho changes which concern the buyer nnd user of the wheel, one naturally turns first to the doings of the Col umbia people. Nickel steel tubing of their own make replaces tho plain steel of previous years, and trusting to tho stiffer qualities of this material to resist denting, tho tubing has been made thinner and one-eighth of an inch larger in dlameter.the larger parts being Hi inch, Instead of 1V& Inch. Flush Joints have been substituted for tho older style, nnd hero it is claimed that .not only Is tho eye pleased, but greater strength is produced. A radi cal change has been made In the wheel hubs. The spoko ilnnge has been aban doned, and in place of it double rows of studs aro inserted, throucli which nro threaded direct pulling tangent spokes. In' the crank hanger bearing ball retainers have been provided, and these nro novel, In that they carry felt washers designed to act as oil retain ers and oilers for the balls. These felts aro said to bo capable of holding enough oil to keep the bearings run ning for four months, and the mak ers' faith In them Is shown by the fact that no oil hole Is made In tho hanger frame. About three times a year the bearings will need changing and ad justing. By forging tho sprocket spi der and the crank In one pleco the crank bearings have been widened one quarter of an Inch, whlio at tho same tlmo tho tread has been reduced from 54. Inches to, 5 inches. Tho Victoria's mala point of differ ence from tho '96 model lie In tho bearings. These, for tho wheels and the crank hanger, have a. new flush finish, which it is believed will mako them dustproof without thu use of felt washers. Tho tread has been reduced to 5V4 Inches from 5Vi Inches, and all tho bearings nro to bo oiled through holes in tho ends of their axles. Tho holes aro protected by llttlo plunger valves. . Tho Humber, In addition to using the flanged sprocket wheels, hns adopted a lnrge nlze of sprocket wheels for both front and bnck. Tho mnln sprocket contnlns twenty-five teeth. Tho rear sprocket for the normal gear of 70 Incites has ten teeth, and by changing this for nlno or elght-toothcd wheels, tho gear Is run up to 77 7-9 and 87V4 Inches. Now dust-proof bearings which open on only ono end are provided for thu wheels. Tho prlco of the number has been raised from $110 to $115 for tho mnn's wheel, and $2.50 extra Is charged for racers, while tho woman's wheel Is to cost $122,50. Tho Stearns wheel shows but llttlo change. The owners have added n combination diamond and drop-frame wheel. In this the upper bar of tho frame Is so arranged that It can be dropped for a womnn's uso of tho wheel. Tho frames of tho '97 machines are made with Hush Joints, the crank hanger Is made solid, the crank nxlo nnd the cones made in ono piece, nnd tho ball cups are heavier. The crnnlis are split nt tho butts, and n screw clamps them to a .triangular bearing on tho axle ends lnstend of the older cotter-pin connection. The Remington also uses a triangu lar crank connection which Is easy de tachable, and this Is an Important de tail In connection with the principal new feature. This Is a crank hanger In Which the whole bearing Is Inclosed In a tube separate from tho hanger frame. By taking oft one crank and loosening a sotscrcw nt the bottom of the crank hanger the nxlo, with all Its parts, may lx made to come out entire, and It may then be cleaned, oiled nnd ndjusted without any further taking apart. In tho Crescent the crank nxle nnd right hand crank nro being made in one piece. This machine has a clever new chain adjuster which conslts of a toothed wheel carrying tho rear wheel nxlo through Its center and with Its teeth working on one side in a rack and on tho other side In the meshes of a screw. Turning the screw moves the center of the wheel along just one half tho distance that tho outside of tho wheel travels about its axis. The Crescent retains Its old price of $75, but the regular Crescent tandem will be $100 instead of $125. A new tandem machine, with Its rear seat nine Inches higher than the front seat takes tho place of tho other one at $123. Tho most Important changes the mechanism of tho Spalding wheel Is In the wheel hubs. In the last year's Spalding wheels the direct tangent spoke was adopted and the connec tion of tho spoko with the hub was made with pins or lugs set Into the tube of the hub. These pins worked loose and were a source of great an noyance to botli tho makers and users of the wheel. In the '97 hub the pins nre replaced by sprocket-like projec tions worked out of the solid steel In one piece with the hub. Each of these projections Is bored to receive two spokes, and a spoko can be put in or taken out without disturbing or loosen ing another one. The $75 wheel will have tho new hubs as well as the $100 wheel. A considerable number of makers, like thoso of the Columbia and tho Spalding, for reasons of their own, have odopted the two-plate front fork crown, wlille as many more have adopted tho arched fork crown. In the matter of tires and pedals, there is practically nothing new offered among the bicycle dealers, except that tho Crescent has made arrangements by which its customers may have the Dunlop tire If they want it. Tho Dun lop is the leading double-tube detach able tire in England and ranks In price with tho most expensive. There is a new Hartford tire, with a corrugated non-slipping tread, and tlto Goodrich is a new non-slipping tire, but neither lies any special features except the one mentioned. At the Stanley Cycle show In London two new tires attract ed much attention. Ono was an Eng lish mako and one American. Tho English tire was a single tube, detach able, which' was made air tight when inflated by a hilf-lneh-wide flap which extended from one side of the joint over the other side Inside of the tube. This tiro can bo taken off as soon as It Is deflated, opened out flat und re paired at once from the Inside. A little soft sonp or soap and water rubbed on tho flap makes It tight enough to in flate when it is replaced on tho rim. Tho American tire is the Hnzeltlno non-puncturablo tire. Its peculiar fea ture is a cuirass of long fibre cotton fabric, added to tho tread, and nt the Stanley show this proved able to pro tect the tiro from puncture, although the outer face was worn into bits by being ridden hundreds of times over n board covered with broken glass and French wire nail points. In saddles there will bo offered the greatest vnrlety ever seen. Some of the bicycle makers will catologue thir ty varieties, and tho saddle makers will double this number at least. In general the raddles all come under tho styles typified by the Hunt, the Gar ford, tho Brown, tho KIrkpatrick, or those built In two parts, where each side of tho saddle Is designed to follow the movements' of the rider's legs. Largo as is the variety in saddles, no ono can Inspect them intelligently without becoming convinced that not a single ono of these styles has been made without there being a distinct object to be accomplished. Tho experi enced rider and the saddle maker agree that the saddle is tho one part of the bicycle which must be especial ly adapted to each rider. The saddle which gives perfect comfort and ease to one rider will not do for another at all, and again, a saddle which suits one style of riding will not nnswer for a person of the snmo build riding In a different style. Thero are in this year's varieties long saddles and Bhort saddles, hard saddles and soft saddles, and saddles with springs under them and others without. Tho general tend ency nmong tho saddle makers Is to mako tho new scats wider and shorter, and to raise tho rider above the horn of the saddle and away from Its cen ter line, by adding pads to tho sides of the Beat or cutting away the' horn and center. Tho list prices of Middles re main the t-ame ns Inst year, but tho prices to the trade are from 15 to 20 per cent, cheaper than last year. As to the outlook for the trndo in bi cycles this year, and the' llkellhcd of better maintenance of prices th'an dur ing 1S96, opinions among the manufac turers differ. Some declare that, be cause of the disasters of last year, tho number of makers has diminished greatly, and those now in tho trade will go slowly, and not manufacture a lot of machines ahead of orders. Oth ers say that If they wait for orders they will not have nny machines to sell when trado begins, and will not be ablo to mako them in time. These mon say thero will probably bo 1,000,000 bicy cles of all sorts made this year, and they expect bigger sales than last year. It is estimated by these same men that 1,200,000 machines vere made last year, and that 150,000 to 200,000 of those nro still on hand. Tho guarnnte for this year will b for only six months by tho members of the National Board of Trado of Cy clo Manufacturers, but outsiders llkb tho Victor makers will give a year's guarantee as heretofore, A SCIENTIST SAVED.

Heine of an ambitious no. ture, I npplled myselfdillgently to my work mid studies. In time 1 noticed that my health was falling. My trouble wm Imli. gestion, nnd this with other troubles trough! on nervousness. "My physician prescribed for me for some time, and nd vised mc to take n change ol climate. I did as he requested nnd was some, improved. Soon after, I camo hero ns pro. lessor in physics nnd chemistry, and inter wns financial necnt of this college. Tin change ngreed with me, and for awhile my health was better, hut my duties were heavy, iinil ngnln I found my trouble returning. This time it wns more severe nnd in tha winter I became completely prostrated. I tried various medicines and different physi. clans. Finally, I was able to return to mr duties, I.nst spring I was elected president of tho college. Apnin I had considerable work, and the trouble, which had not been entirely cured, began to nll'ect me, and Inst fall I collapsed. 1 had different doctors, hut none did me any good. Professor Iiowinan, who is professor of natural science, told ma of hit experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pnle People nnd urged me to glv them n trlnl, because they had benefited Lira in n similar case, nnd I concluded to try them. "The first box helped me, nnd tho second gave great relief, such ns I had never ex perienced from the treatment of any physi. clan. After using lx boxes of the medicine I wns entirely cured. To-day I nm perfectly well. I feel better nnd Uronger than for years. I certainly recommend this rucdi. cine." To nlhiy nil doubt Prof. llarnaby cheer, fully made an aflhlnvlt before Lyman J.
