One afternoon early In June he hobbled
Into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business mannger, George

tlint McMnnus bad discarded his cane. Who

"I wns encouraged by Mr. McMnnus' cure
and ss a last resort tried the l'lnk Pills mv.

porter. '-You have known me for five years
nnd know how I have suffered. Why, dur
ing the (.uminer of ISflS 1 was on mv buck at
tlio Mullnnphy Hospital, In this cltv, four
weeks. I whs put on the old system of diet
ing, with a view to clearing tbose acidulous
properties In my bloo.l thrit medical theorists
say is the cause of mv rheumatism. 1 left
the Hospital feeling btroner. but the first
imnip weatner hrougnt with It those excru-
o.nting pains in the legs nud back. It was
the same old trouble. After sitting down
for a stretch of five minutes the pains
screwed my legs into a knot when I arose,
and I hobbled ns painfullv as ever. After I
bad taken my first box of Pink Pills it struck
me that the pains were less troublesome. I
tried another box, and I began almost un
consciously to have failh In the Pink Pills.
I Improved so rapidly thnt I could rise after
sitting at my desk for an hour and the
twinges of rheumatism that nccompnnied my
rising were so mild that I scarcely not loo J
them. During the past two weeks we hnve
had much rainy weather In Bt. Louis. Hut
the dampness bas not had tho slightest effect
in cringing naok tne rheumatism, which I
consider a sufficient and reliable test of the
efficacy of Piuk Pills. I may also say thnt
tho l'lnk Pills have acted as a tonio on mv
stomach, which I thought was well nigh de
stroyed by the- thousand nnd one alleged

OHS BURNS OS TIMPKRANCK.
The prentor part and more interesting part
of hit hour's talk with John Burns, tbo Eng
lish labor agitator, was on the relation of
tho torn pern nee movement, wiltes Charles
B. Bpahr in the Outlook. We had Just been
talking of the new attitude of the chnrch
toward social questions, nnd here I found
hlui somewhat Indifferent, plainly regarding
the change as more Important to the ohurch
than to the labor movement. When, how
ever, the conversation turned to the progress
of the temperance movement In the rants of
labor he suddenly became enthusiastic, not
only upon this sublcct Itself but onthe social
reform work of tbo churches in connection
with it. Nothing could have exceeded his
praise of whnt the Salvation Armv, in partic
ular, is doing for the spread of temperance
in Englnnd. lis success in reclaiming
drunkards soemed to him the most wonder
ful thing in recent religious history. Mr.
Burns has not only been a lifelong total ab
stainer but a lifelong temperance agitator,
nnd, (burnt his secularism, he recognized
the religious work of reclaiming lost drunk
ards as something beyond the scope of
"municipal statesmanship." Nevertheless,
muntcipiil statesmanship nnd tomperance re
form seemed to him to have so many-sided a
connection ns to be essentially one. "Hos
tility to public-houses," he said (I quote from
memory), "runs through our labor move
ment. Nearly every lender of the 'new
unionism' Is a teetoatler, and among tbo
lenders in tbe old unions total abstinence is
gaining an altogether disproportionate hold.
Even the men In the unions who drink them
selves nnd growl at the unsoolabllilvofthose
who don't will vote nearly every time for a
temperance man to conduct the business ot
the union. This accounts for the dispropor
tionate teetotulism among the leaders,
but temperance Is spreading among
the rank and file. During my boyhood,
and I am hardly mlddle-agod, it
used to be charged that this, thnt,
or the other labor leader had been paid 5,
10, or even 20 totcbangs themeetlngplace
of the union from the Horse and Dragon to
the Pig and Whistle. Nowadays the owner
of a 'pub' would rather pay to get rid of a
trade nnon than to have it meet at his rooms.
As a matter of faot, we are not meeting at
public-bouses unless weenn't help ourselves,
sometimes we meet in rooms belonging to
churches, often in those belonging to co
operative societies, and, whenever we can,
In rooms connected with town halls. Nearly
every man who is prominent in the labor
movement Is opposed to tbe publio-bousos.
The 1G8 officers ot labor unions who signed
the petition last year for the local veto (loonl
option) bill included' praotlenlly the whole
brains and power of tbe labor movement.
Not nearly all of them were teetotalers, but
they had all got that for, nt any rate. They
nil know that drink is tbe cblol oauBO of pov
erty. "At th s snme time thoy all believe thnt
poverty is the chief onuse of drluk. Most ot
our lulor-reform measures aim to reduce
drunkenness by making healthier living pos
sible. This is true not only of the larger
measures, such as the shortening of tbe
hours of labor, but it is even more directly
true of our municipal reforms. We believe
that the construction of municipal balls ac
cessible for publio meetings in nil parts ot
the cities is a direet blow nt tbe public
houses. We believe that all our London
county council men su res providing publio
play grounds, gymnasiums, reading-rooms,
nnd tho like are temperance measures. We
have now in London 500 free tennis courts.
The city furnishes the courts and tha frame
work to support the nets. The players, of
course, furnish tbeir own rackets. Almost
any Saturday afternoon you may see John
Burns and his wife on one of these courts. I
brieve it is the healthy way to live, and the
young people wbo hare these healthy re.
creations are not so apt to crave tbe 'pub
1 o.' There are now so many of tbe courts
that it is rarely difficult to get a chance to
piny. For tho middle-aged men who don't
care for tenuis we have provided quoits, ixid
for tbe old fellows we are about to lay out
several bowline greens."

Speaking from her Experience,
After years of practical use and a trial of many brands of baking pow
der (some of which she recommended before becoming acquainted
with the great qualities of the Royal), Marlon Harland finds the
Royal Baking Powder to be greatly superior to all similar prepara
tions, and states that she uses it exclusively, and deems it an act of
justice and a pleasure to recommend It unqualifiedly to
American Housewives.
The testimony of this gifted authority upon Household Economy
coincides with that of millions of housekeepers, many of whom speak
from knowledge obtained from a continuous use of Royal Baking
Powder for a third of a century.
Photographic Competition.
No better proof could bo found of
the wonderful advance which bas been
mado in tho art of instantaneous plio
top;rapby th.n a competition whioh
has just been arranged in Oonova be
tween members of leading camera
clnbs and photographio societies of
Switzerland, France, Austria and
England. The subject proposed for
the competition is the deteriniuation
by photography of the Bhapa assumed
by a drop of wator while in tho act of
falling through the air.
A scries of prizes in the form of
modals is offered for tho most success
ful photographs. It is required thnt
only distilled water shall be used ;
that the sizo of the tubo from which
the drop is caused to fall shall be ac
curately ascertained.
Moreover, it is required that it
shall be known how far the drop has
fallen nt tho instant it is photo
graphed; and that effective precau
tions shall bo taken to prevent any
current of air from disturbing the
drop in its descent.
Only a fow years ago it would have
seemed chimerical to propose such a
photogrophio font ns this, but now
thnt running horses, leaping athletes,
f-ying bullets and lightning have been
compelled to print their images on
tho sensitive plate, it appears an easy
thing to photograph falling water so
perfectly that science may thereby
learn, for tho first time, precisely, the
shapo of a raindrop Tho Amusing

Inventing 'ew Roses.
Although roses have been cultivated
from timo immemorial, the origina
tion of new kinds seoms to have been
neglootod until tho beginning of this
century. Tho first systematic effort
to get improved roses from the seed
is recorded at the time of that lover
of roses, tho Kmpress Josephine.
Dupont, hor gardener, was among the
foremost iu this oflort. He grew
scodliugs from all tho choicest roses
that could be obtained from the other
couutrios of Europe; yet in 1814
there wero only 1H2 varieties, while
in 1847 there wero 4500. and now their
name is legion. New York Post.
