Locomotor Atxa.4nd Paralysis
C&n be
Ti,se extreme nervous disorders were
ue&ted with wonderful success by the dis
coverer of Or. Williams' Pink Pills for Pole
People, previous to his discovery being otter
ed to the public generally. This remedy is
the only known specific in m&ny diseases
that. until recent years, v ere pronODPUCJ in
curable, tterc is tne proof;
James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman living In Detroit, Mich, at 88
Montcalm St., was cured of Locomotor Ataxia by these pills. For miny
years he hat been a chief engineer of one of those big passenger palace
steamers plying upon the great lakes. This is a position of great respon
sibility and the anxiety causes a great nervous strain. Mr. Crocket says:
'For fifteen years I watched the big engines and boilers without a single
accident, and only noticed that I was getting nervous. Suddenly without
warning I was taken sick, and was prostrated. I had the best of physi
cians but grew gradually worse. At a council of doctors, they said I had
nervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous system and
would never recover. For three years I was unable to move from my bed.
The doctor said I bad locomotor ataxia, and would never be able to walk
again.
"The pains nnd suffering I experienced during those years are almost
Indescribable. The friends that came to see me bid me good-bye when
they left me and I was given up The cjoctors said nothing more could lie
done. My wife kept reading to me, articles about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. We finally decided to try them. The first box gave me
relief. I continued to use them for about two years before I could get
strength enough to walk. I am nearly seventy-five years old and there is
not a man in this city that can kick higher or walk further than lean
and to-dav I owe mv present good health to I5r. Williams' fink Pills for

Fnn In Sweden.
General Baron Kappe, Swedish
Minister'of War, has just suffered a
penalty for a very amusing slight to
royal ceremony. The day before
Christmas King Oscar summoned a
cabinet council to the palace. At the
last moment General Kappe, who is
notoriously absent minded, having on
his full uniform, as required by the
regulations, forgot to put on his
plumed chapeau, and hastily clapped
his ordinary silk hat on his unfortun
ate head. No one happened to see
him en route till he approached the
palace. The King and the rest of the
cabinet, looking out of the window,
saw the motley AVar Minister ap
proaching, and burst into loud guffaws
at his unceremonious appearance.
They chaffed him without mercy, and
the King, to censure his absence of
mind, put him nnder a three days' ar
rest as provided by the military regu'
lations forbidding the wearing of ci
vilian attire in conjunction with mili
tary uniform.
The English Tramp.
Whoever, queries a writer in the
Saturday Review, analyzing tho way
farer's characteristics, heard a habit
ual tramp sing, or even whistle? As
he comes slouching down the sunny
side of the road his very walk gives
the lie to any romantic notion about
him. He does not walk; be merely
shuffles, weak-kneed and narrow
chested, expectorating freely as be
goos. The wind on the heath has no
call for him. He hates the country,
and regards the open road merely as a
wearisome way from one common
lodging house or casual ward to an
other. As a representative of the true
vagabond, to whom the wind and the
smell of earth and the warmth of the
sun are sheer physical delights, he la
the fj.eatest fraud that ever a novelist
or a cockney essayist imagined. He
is nothing but an unspeakable dirty
and spiritless man, prowling along
with an eye to stealing or begging
enough for a lodging house or to ca
rouse with other members of his tribe.
What Oar Knowledge Is Good Far. 1 1
The attainment of skill is the alpha
a3 it is the omega of science. It was
the attempt to gain perfection in his
every-day work that led primeval man
to take the first steps in that great
movement of which the fruition ap
pears in the final development of our
modern universities. For a man of
highest culture, also, the end and ob
ject of study is, as Aristotle teaches
us, not the attainment of knowledge,
bvt the perfecting of conduct, and
this is trne not only when we con
ceive of conduct as our action in rela
tion to other men, but also if we look
upon it as action in relation to the ob
jects and conditions which surround
ns. From "The Field of Art" in

A Bank of Brides.
Simla, the summer capital of the
Indian Empire, is a pretty pine-treed
place well up in the foothills of the
Himalayas. A feature of Simla life
is the annnal fair held by the native
hills people, an attractive item of
which is a "Bank of Brides" in an
amphitheatre, where sit numbers of
young women who thus calmly an
nounce that they are candidates for
hymeneal honors. Some of these
aspirants to matrimony so patiently
awaiting a choosing are quite pretty,
and have intelligent faces; but those
ot Mongol caste must needs linget
long for a partner, if personal beauty
enters into the equation. Woman'

Switzerland's Falling Mountain.
The din of falling rocks and rubble
continues at Airolo, Switzerland, when
fresh portions of the mountain break
away from time to time. The ruined
mass of stones, trees and houses
measures not less than five hundred
thousand cubio metres, and the dam
age caused is estimated at over $200,
000. As further downfalls are feared, il
has been proposed to blow down with
mines the whole mass in one great
avalanche, and so end the prevailing
terror. Berne correspondence of ths

1'i'antlnc Shrubs In Spring.
Spring is the best time to plan
ihrubs. A great deal of one's success
lepends on the manner of planting.
If a shrub or tree is worth the trouble
if ordering from a nurseryman, or the
labor of planting at all, it is worth the
well doing. Some plants will lire if
you "just stick them out anywhere"
some will not, but in any case proper
:are and good planting bring their own
reward. Trim off bruised and torn
roots. Prepare a good-sized place for
the roots and make the soil mellow.
Cover the roots with a few shovelfuls
of rich, mellow earth. Firm the soil
round the roots well. This is impor
tant. See that the drainage is good.
Don't put fresh manure iu contact
with roots. Trim the tops, having in
mind the future shapeliuess and beauty
of the shrub. There must be a pro
portion between the root system and
tho branches not more leaves and
branches than there are roots to fur
nish nourishment.
Planning the Flower Garden.
If you are upon a new place that is
bleak and bnro or if till now you have
felt yon could not have flowers make
up your mind now that you will have
some flowers this spring not neces
sarily a great lot that will be neglected
but get a few choice perennials, some
showy annuals and a few nice plants
for the windows. Invite the wife or
daughters.to help you do tho planning
jnd we assure you yon will be amply
repaid for the time and mouey ex
pended, in the satisfaction and pleas
ure obtaiued, to say nothing of the
enhanced money value of the farm or
home lot.
In planning aim to have a stretch of
rreeu between tho road and the house
or feuce which should be the back,
background so to speak; have in front
of this a row of bushes or tall plants
as tho background of your picture,
then the low plauts aud showy an
nuals in front of this. Or if you pre
fer have the showy ones at the Bide of
the house and a little back of a line
even with the point of it.
ff Another plan ia to have narrow bor
ders along the walk or walks leading
to the house. It is not best to cut the
lawn or eveu the small bit of green
you may have in front of the house,
all up with flower beds or to fill it full
of trees or bushes. A small clump of
trees here and there at the side of or
massed in a line with the house will
have a better effect thau to have the
house wholly hidden but do not re
frain from gettiug the plants and
flowers because you can not spend
time or hare not the surroundings
that will permit you to lay out grounds
us you would like better beauty
and brightness without symmetry
than no brightness at all. Have a
flower garden and some house plants
and plan for them now. Farm, Field
and Fireside.
Preparing the Garden.
A dressing of 1000 ponnds of salt
per acre, sowed upon the surface and
harrowed in early in the spring, is
said to be an excellent preparation of
the garden for growing cabbages,
:auliflowers and beets. There aro
low grades of agricultural salt, or salt
too impure to be used as table salt, or
even in curing meats, without rofin- J
ing, which can be bought very
cheaply, and are as good as the better
grades for that business; so also with
salt that has been used in salting
meat or fish. Whatever of the juices
of the meat or fish it may retain will
not injure the land.
We remember when a dressing of
salt was thought to be absolutely
necessary for growing a crop of
asparagus, but now many of the
growers say that it is not important,
vet we think the above amount would
be of no ''njury to this or many other
orops. While 1000 pounds per acre
will not destroy all weeds nor ex
terminate all inseot pests, it is some
thing like the lioeing of an old man
we once knew. He was notoriously
unskilful in his use of the hoe, but he
said if he didn't kill the weeds he
could "discourage them a bit." Where
some of the new and most trouble
some weed pests, like the orange
hawk weed, "devil's paint brush,"
etc., are coming in small patohes, it
may be well to apply two or three
times the above amount tc those spots
to kill the weeds, even though it may
kill all other plants for one season,
yet the killing of the weeds will well
repay the lost use of the land, and it
will be all the more fertile another
year.
While salt is not a fertilizer, strictly
speaking, it often acts as such by act
ing upon other elements in the soil,
and liberating or making available
the fertility that is dormant in them.
We have seen good results from tho
use of salt upon worn-out or run-down
grass lands, though it would not
produce the same results upon the
same field again until more manure
was applied. It is also useful iu ab
sorbing moisture from the air and
holding it in the soil, as can easily be
seen by applying it in a dry season. '

Strange Beliefs In Thibet.
One of the most remarkable of all
the strange myths believed in by the
savage people of Thibet is one per
taining to the sun, moon, and stars.
The sun is supposed to be an immense
ball of yak meat and fat, whereon the
spirits of departed ancestors are sup
posed to feast, the light being caused
by its heated condition. The stars are
portions of this immense feast, which
dropping to the earth give birth to
animals for the sustenance of suffer
ing humanity. The moon is a lessei
ball of similar texture, in use while
the larger one is being replenished
for the morrow. They account for its
non-appeorance on cloudy and stormj
days by the fact that the deities are
undergoing a period of fasting and re
ligious abnegation. The parched and
desert condition of sterile regions is
ascribed, to the fact that many thou
sand years ago this immense ball
slipped from the hands of its keepers,
and descending too near the earth
scorched those parts with which il
came in contact before it could be re
covered. New York Tost

Tho Saloon Not a Necemitr.
To the Editor Sir: Tho saloon Is not a
necessity, Thero Is no need of man that
the saloon nils. This very agitation Is evi
dence that the people's conscience is being
pricked beonuse of the public toleration of
an awful evil that U dully perpetrating the
most horrible cur.se upon humanity, and
spoolully upon the workingmau, acd still
more, emolly treating the inuosent wife
and oblldren.
Necessity? Why? Because thoro Is
money Iu tho bualness, money for tlioso
who fatten upon tho llfeblood sapped from
the vitals of tho tollers of our laud, nnd
tills eelflsli Interest simply purchnsos the
privilege for the saloon to exist for the
further gain of Us promoters. The curse,
the blighting, devastating curse of the sa
loon cannot ba hidden by the assertion that
the saloon Is the worklugman's club. If It
Is bis club, It is used only by blm to brain
bis wife and boat all the joy, hope and
honor from tho hearts and lives of his off
spring, who have a right by tho sncredness
ot birth to the sheltering cars and protec
tion ot a father in the full control of lili
senses, and of tho home fellowship ot faith
ful parents. Tho saloon robs them of this
enjoyment.
The saloon is not philanthropic. It dom
not exist for the sake of providing social
relaxation for the weary. Any association
it affords only serves its deadly purpose
the more. The wife and children need not
only social relaxation, but relaxation from
disgrace and dishonor, abuse and plnohed
poverty, and from the more trying neces
sity of wearing poor If not ragged clothes,
and from the harrowing necessity ot eating
hardened crusts wuilo the snloon keeper's
wife and children revel In their purple and
line linen nnd fare sumptuously every day.
A necessity? An institution a necessity
that robs the nation of over a billion a year,
sends 100,000 drunkards to their graves.
makes 50,000 orphans, 20,000 widows, causes

Influences to overlay 25WJ llt'.lo innocent
children every time we count tilty-two
Naturday nights In the United Wtat'S and U
the cause of ninety-seven per cent, ot all

A necessity? Nover! Revolution moves
slowly, but just assure as the sun shines,
just so surely Is pubiio opiulon closing in
on the saloon. You tnny not see (t aud I
may not, but what sometimes will not hap
pen In 100 years happens luaday, and some
jay, and that day is not so far distant
either, the tide ot sentiment will be
aroused against the saloon and distillery,
because of their constant menace to so
ciety, nnd this fearful Institution will be
Ifted from our body politic and dropped to

"It Never Paid Me Better."
In an address at the recent annual meet
ing ot the United Kingdom Alliance, held
at Manchester, England, Bev. Charles Qar
rett said:
"I met with a brewer, a good man In his
way, who had been a member and office
bearer In our church for years. He was a
man Kindly, generous, ready to help Buy
body In distress, and with a kindly word
for anybody In trouble. He met me, antt
we had a hearty shake of the band. Ho
said; 'Well, Mr. Garrett, I suppose you are
as earnest In teetotallsm as ever.' 'Yes,' I
snld, 'rather more.' 'Well,' he said, ' It's
all rlghth, yon know; It plenses you and it
doesn't hurt me. The fact If, I was never
doing better than I am doing now.' Not
long afterward I saw his second son coma
ont ot the yard In dollrium tremens with
three men struggling with him, a Una
young fellow, and broad-chested. I saw
them as they wrestled with bim, lib veins
standing out like ropes on his forehead,
and bis eyes flashing. I saw blm fall; they
carried htm In. Half nn hour afterward I
heard a whisper, 'he is Is dead," and I went
In to try and comfort the family; and when
I entered the room, there was the body,
and on that side was the mother drunk,
and on tho other side wns the brothet
drunk. As I stood and looked on that hor
rible scene I beard that father's words
agalu, 'It nover paid mo better.' "

with falling of the womb, and those
terrible bearing-down pains, and it
seemed as though my back would never
stop aching; also had leucorrhcea. dull
headaches, could not sleep, was weak
and life was a burden to me. I doctored
for several years, but it did no good.
My husband wanted ma to try your
medicine, and I am so thankful that I
did. I have taken four bottles of the
Compound and a box of Liver Pill a and
can state that if more ladies
air inai mey wouia oiess me aay tney saw your advertise
ment. My heart is full of gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham for what
her medicine has done for me. It is worth its weight in gold."
Caribou Hllnded by Duelling.
The Indian guide Jim Taul was once
hunting on the Gaspereaux plains,
Now Brunswick, when he saw a large
bull caribou coining straight toward
him through a clump of stunted
spruoe. The animal frequently col
lided with the trees and seemed to
take no notice of the Indian. . "Sar
tin," said Jim. "I tink dat caribou
was drunk. Bambye wheu he git
pretty close I shoot him. Sartin he
was mighty ole caribou, for he was
blind aud had no teeth and no horns."
In the mating season it is not uncom
mon for caribou males to be blinded
by thrusts received in their furious
duels for the mastery of the herd.
