Mr. Balsbury was at home and grac iously received the reporter, led him to a oozy sitting room, and begged him to be aeaiea. jur. eaisimry is tM years ol age, with long, snowy white beard, sad steady walk. He was born in Conneaut Township, about nine miles fiom where he now re sides, and Is one of the best known farmers in that section of the country. At the age ui 4t ne movea 10 inaians WHO his parents. Mr. Balsbury was always a very healthy man, and never knew what it was to besiok. After livinr; in Indiana about fifteen years, he, with bis. aged mother, moved back to their former borne. About seven yoars ago Mrs. Balsbury bad the misfortune to fall and brak ber hip. Luther, who witnessed the fall from the porch, ran to her assistance, and lifting her gently earried her to the house. In some manner he wrenched his Dank, and hurt himself internally, causing rheumatism to set in. He did not pay any attention to it until about six months after wards, when he noticed a peculiar feeling between bis shoulders, and the shoulder blades beatne very numb. He went to see a physician and was informed he had what Is known as creeping paralysis. He doc tored about two years and was pronounced cured. About a year after he quit doctoring, tha same feeling came ovor him again, and he made up bis mind not to see a doctor, but try to cure himself. Mr. Balsbury was al ways fond of fishing, and whilo on the way to his favorite pond he noticed a newspaper lying on the ground. He picked it up, and his eye accidentally read an articlo which said. Use "Pink rills" for rheumatism, Im poverishment of tbe blood, etc. "I began thinking that they might do m good," said Mr. Halsbury, "and accordingly I went to Dr. Davenport's drug store at Albion, Pa., six miles from my home and purchased three boxes. Twenty-four hours after tak ing the first pill I could feel the effect clear to the ends of my Angers and relict came at once. "I oontlnued using Pink Pills and began getting stronger, and to-day I am feeling very well. My backache does not bother me nt all, and I can walk as good as any one of my ago. The numbness has disap peared entirely. Before taking Pink Pills I was unable to do the work on my farm, but now I can handle the farm as well as I ever could, and I attribute it all to tho use ol Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Without hesitancy I recommend Pink Pills for rheumatism and all diseases of tha blood. The pills are the best I have ever known, and a number of people who noticed mv condition were surprised at the effect of Pink Pills. Too much cannot be said of them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con densed form, nil the oluments nocessary to givo new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a spoclllo for trouoles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms of weakness.

IEi JOllSCElltSSCl INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR JULY 4. Silk front Spider's Woo. The web of the Madagascar spider Is to be utilized for tbe purpose of silk mamifnrturfiiK by a company of Fretu-li capitalists. It Is still reiiiriii- berctl that the Cronies of Mauritius presented Empress Eugenie with a p:iir of mittens made of this spider's threads, which were so fine that they could hardly be noticed on her hands, for they were almost transparent and colorless. A Trench naturalist has re cently ascertained that the Madagas car spider produces at the beginning of Its work more than 100 yards of thread per hour, Increasing In quantity until It produces more than ISO yards per hour. A newly-constructed little machine which winds the thread on bobbins automatically Immediately from the spider Is to be employed In Madagascar. The spiders themselves are to be raised systematically In enor mous numbers, and although the fab rics made from the new material may, be costly at first, li Is not unlikely that the present generation will live to set) dresses made of spider web.

"Now, when they bad gone through out PhrvRis and tho region of Galatia, and were forbidden ot the Holy Ghost to preach the word In Asia, after they were come to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit suffered them not." Our last lesson in this book Introduced us to tha nuostles nt the conference In Jerusa lem, from which Paul and Barnabas, with Will and others, returned to Antioch and eontinued there tenoning and preaching the word of the Lord (Acts xv., 85). After some time they started on their second missionary tour, Barnabas taking Mnrk and sailing for Cyprus, and Paul taking Hilas and starting through Syria and C'lllcla, confirming and establishing the churches. At Lytra, where Paul bad been stoned and left for dead on hi first tour, he takes Timothy with him. of whom he afterward says, "I have no man so dear unto me" (Phil. II., 20, margin). As they continued journeying and preaching through Phrygiannd tlalntia they thought to turn southward and afterward north ward and give the glad tidings tn Asia and liithynin. but were in each case prevented by the Spirit from so doing. The Kplrit sent them forth on His ImxIni'HS for Christ, and, being willing to be controlled by Him, He controlled them and for some good reason kept thnm nt this time from going into these two provinces, that Ho might bond them elsewhere. 8. "And they, pasHlng by Mysln, came down to Troas." Hindered on the right and left, they found that the open door was strnight ahead, and so kept on to tho sea at Troas. "Thine cars shall hear a word be hind thee, saying: This in the wav. Walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left" (lsn. xxx., 21). To bo Hiiro that the Lord has a purpose In your life, according to Epb. II., 10, and that He will surely perform it according to Isii. Jtiv., 24, make one quiet before Him, not daring to murmur even though with ach ing heart nnd streaming eyes wo say, "Even so, Father," "My Jesus, as Thou wilt." 9. "And n vision appeared to Taut in the night. There stood a tnon of, Macedonia and prayed him, saying, Conn) over into Macedonia and help us." In a dream or vision of tho night (iod has often spoken to men (Job xxxill., 15) anil will yet, if neces sary, though he generally guides by His Spirit either in His word or in thn events of dully life. The right attitude Is to "Watch the way" and "Watch to sen what Ho will say" (Nah. II.. 1; Hab. II., 1), then meekly walk In the way which Ho oiens before us. "Holng as occasion servo us, for (iod is Willi us" 1 1 Ram. x., 7). 10. "And after he had seen the vision Im mediately we endeavored to go into Mace donia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach tho gospel unto them." Being willing to bo guided by the Spirit, they were sure this was the Spirit's guiding. If we are willing nnd earnestly desirous to bo led of the Spirit, we may be perfectly suro Hint every hindrance nnd every opening is of lllni. Notice that they knew what half the people of Macedonia needed, and that was just what they had to give the gospel or good tidings of tha grace of fiod. They were not on a lectur ing or an entertaining tour, but only and wholly on business for (iod, to win souls to Uirlst. I 11. "Therefore, loosing from Troas. we came with a straight course to Sumotnrn eia, and the next day to Neiipolis." This lesson should be taught with the map be. fore the scholars that thev mnv sen thnt 1'nul and his company iniw crossed from the continent of Asia to Kuronr: that Ne- npolis wns tho seaport of riillippl, aud Sn. innthracin an island about half wny from Troas to Neapolis.

"And lrom thence to rhilippl, wliihn Is the chief city of that part of Macedonia and a colony, and we were in that citynhid ing certain days.'1 There seems tu be no welcome for them, no one specially expect ing them, and yet they are iu tho land to which they had been called, nnd doubtless they gave themselves up to prnver that the same Spirit who brought them tlilt her would now use them. They not only abode iu the city, but they abode in Christ. li. "And on the Sabbath wo wont out r-ril the city by n riverside, where prnver was want to bo made, nnd we sat down and spake unto the women which resorted thither," It would seem, then, that the llust preaching of the gospel in Europe was lit a woman's prayer meeting. Mary, the mother of our Lord, and other women were assembled with the apostles for prayer dur ing the waiting iluvs between His ascen sion and I'ctitecost ( Acts 1., u ). It is prob nblo that upon the women also the Spirit came ns tongues of fire, and ns there wcm present in the city nt that time strangers from Home, there may ulso have been some from Macedonia. However, it came about. hero are some worshippers of the true (iod Who had evidently been crving to (iod for more light, nnd now Ood has sent it. The same God who sent Gabriel to Daniel aud Simon l'eter to Cornelius sent l'nul und Mlas to Maceiioiila. 14. "And a certain woman named Lydin, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatiru, which worshiped God, heard us; "whose" heart tho Lord opened, that she attended unto tho things which wcru spoken of 1'aul." Hero Is a business woman from Asia, for Thyatlra was in Asia (ltev. i., 11), who was for the tbuo llviug In l'billppi, and was evidently one of those chosen in Christ before the foundation ot tho world (Eph. i., 4; II Tim. i., U). It wus worth whilo going to. Europe to find her. Sho was probably another hungry soul Ilka Cornelius. Wherever on earth the eves of tho Lord soo a real thirst for Him, He will find n way to supply that thirst. "Blessed are they that hunger, for they shall be llllod." "He satlslleth tho longing soul." 15. "And when she was baptized aud her household, sho besought us, sayiug. If ye have Judged me to be faithful to the Lord, oomo into my house and abide there. And she constrained us." Her heart became a home for tbe Lord and her house a home for His disciples. There were probably four at least In l'aul's party, for Timothy bad joined them at Lystru, and it looks as if Luke had joined them at Troas. Con trast the "tbey" of verses 6 to 8 with the "wo' of verses 10, 11.

The schedule was completed up to paragraphs 364, relat ing to cloths, knit fabrics, etc. Karly In the day Mr. Allen (Pop..

The Senate fought over tho duties on manufactured woolen goods, and only got so far with the tariff bill as the first paragraph-relating to car pets. Many amendments were pro posed to reduce the duties, but all were rejected by decisive majorities. Karly in the day a petition signed by 103.WK) citizens of Chicago protesting against the proposed Increase of the beer tax was presented. June 2!. The senate completed tho wool schedule, the silk schedule nnd the tobacco schedule of the tariff bill, and with this accomplished the tariff lend ers had the satisfaction of knowing that all the schedules of the bill and the free list had been gone over once.
