Hamilton, Madison Co., N. T.," well-to-do
farmer, who Is well known and stands
high for honesty and thrift In this neigh

palled on Mr. Woodman in his comfortable,
old-fahlom-(t farm house.
"I have had serious thoughts of writing
an account for the newspapers myself,"

Re, then a severe cold from over exertion
and from becoming over heated. My father
was farmer and Insisted that the only way
to make me strong was to do plenty of hard
work. When, however, he saw mo helpless
In bed for six long months without being
ble to move except with help, he changed
his mind, and forever after believed that
children should not be mado to do men s
work. My growth was stopped bv suffer
ing, and I do not think I km an inch taller
than that day, forty-five years ago. Dur
ing the forty yean ensuing after my mis
fortune, I was attended by seven doctors.
I received temporary relief at times, from
new forms of treatment, but always re
lapsed Into a worse and more aggravated
condition. The conclusion of ail thoen
gentlemen was that I was Incurable, and
II they could do was to ease my condition.
After I grew to manhood I mnrrled and
have been blessed with a family. My dear
wife bos had all the drudgery of nursing
nd waiting upon me, and the burden bos
been Indcod hard to bear.
'Without hope from physicians I began
to take Br. Williams' rink nils, which was
highly recommended by my friends. I took
them and within one week began to feel
bettor than I bad since I was first afflicted.
I took these pills according to directions,
nd when the box was nearly gone I went
over to Brookfleld to an old friend who
was in the drug business, named Dr. Aure
llus Fitch, who likewise was a great suffer
er from rheumatism. The doctor and I or
dered several boxes of Pink Pills In part
nership, he from that time keeping them
onsale. Well, I continued to take them
according to directions for the next three
years and steadily Improved, gaining flesh
and strength, until two years ago I was
ble to discontinue them, and now am as
ble bodied a man of my yean as you will
find. I ought to tell you thnt after I or
dered the first box of pills the physician
who was then attending me camo in and I
told him what I was doing. Ho said I was
very foolish, that they would surely injure
me, and it was his duty to tell me so. I
told the doctor that I might as well die as
to drag out a miserable existence, and so.
notwithstanding his warnings, continued
to take the pills. Thank Hod the doctor
Was not nblo to dissuade me, for to them I
now ascribe all thecomfort and happiness
I have Id this world. I have recommended
them to hundreds of people since I was
cured, and In every case they have been
effective, not only in rhoumatism but in
numerous other disorders, especially Im
poverishment of the blood, heart trouble
and kidney disease.

When Mr. Woodman had signed and de
livered the above paper to the reporter, he
said: "If I were you I would go and call on
Mr. Amos Jaquays, at Columbns Centre, to
whom I recommended Dr. Williams' rink
- nils for aggravated kidney disease. He is
now In perfect health. I have no doubt he

The Blue and the Gray.
Both men and women are apt to feel a little
blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It's
a very natural feeling. In the normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanced age.
They have no business whitening the head of
man or woman, who has not begun to go
down the slope of life. As a matter of fact,
the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of
life's seasons ; sometimes it Is whitened by
siokness, but more often from lack of core.
When the hair fades or turns gray there's no
seed to resort to hair dyes. The normal color
of the hair is restored and retained by the use of

"The boys responded wltb. surprising

of a statement innde by Oommnndet
Field of the selwolslilp 8t. Mary's nt I
meeting of the Hoard of Education of
Now Tork city, a few months ago, re
garding a rescue ninrie by the boys ot

On the night tf the 2.1d of February,
after the boys on the Ht. Mary's had
turned In, the cry was raised on the
wharf at the foot of which the ship
lies, In New York, thnt a mam bad
fallen overlMinrd In the North Klver.
The boys turned out, lowered a boat,
and In a moment were off to the rescue.

they pulled him In, and In an Insensible,

Tho next moment would have been

the part of the bandy boys would have
been fatal to him. Hut If they had been
capable of delays they would not have

Screened from Heat and Light.
The bottom of the deep sea is, In
deed, entirely screened from the
warmth and light of the attn by the In
tervening mass of water. Ou land we
often experlonco that the Intervention
of cloiKhi, which are simply steam ot
divided masses of water, results In
gloom and a full of temperature. This
effect Is Infinitely more Intense at the
botton of tlie ocean, between which
and tho sun there Is Interposed, not
ouly for a day or two, n layer of cloud,
tmt, for ever, a volume of water often
several miles' thick. Kven nt fifteen
fathoms from the surface the light la
much subdued, producing more tJio ap
pearance of pale moanltght than of sun
light, and experiments uuide with very
sensitive photographic plates In the
clear water of the jike of Geneva have
shown that sunlight does not penetrate
to a greater depth there than 133
fathoms. In the ocean and in the trop
ics, where omishlne Is most Intense, no
light penetrates beyond a depth of 200
fathoms. Helow this all Is.durk.
The sun's beat, like Its light. Is also
;ut off from the ocean depths In the
same manner. A coualn of the'wrller
found thait In tho bay of Bengal there Is
a fall of temperature amounting to
about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every
ten fathoms from the surface that the
thermometer sinks. At l!0O fathoms he
has found that the thermometer stands
all the year round at 63 degrees Fabr
enhelt; and nt 2,000 fathoms H con
stantly registers about 35 degrees
Fahrenheit, or close upon freeilng
point. It Is curious to note that as we
rise In the air, In ballooning or on
mountain slopes, the temperature falls
is we rise, and the same occurs as we
live Into the depths of the ocean. But
In mines the heat Increases as we de

Vnworthy Books.
A healthy body undoubtedly con
duce to a healthy condition of the
mind, but It does not produce Intellect
ual activity. The only way to accom
plish intellectual results Is to work the
mind. Hard work of any kind Is nevci
easy It may bo satisfying and exhilar
ating, but not easy. When you rWllj
work your brain you know It; even to
concentrate your attention to begin a
task Is a serious effort. Many wist
workers say that when you have
learned the power of conceOtxntlon you
have solved the problem of effective In
tellectual work. That Is the first stumbling-block
that the person who docs
not habitually read books, even foi
recreation, encounters. It la so difficult
to pin your attention to the printed
page, for you think of things nearer al
hand with which you are familiar. Bui
a sensational navel captures the uneasy
attention sooner than more thoughtful
books; therefore, people of untrained
minds are the greatest devourera of un
worthy books. Ladles' Home Journal

Abhor that whloh Is evil. Cleave to that
whleh Is good." Thett. V. says, "Let love
he without hypocrisy." The ITolyHplrll
through John says, "Let us not love In
word, neither In tongue, but In deed anil In
truth" (I John III., 1H). The title of our
lesson Is "Christian Living," wliioh Is else
where defined as "the life of Jesus made
manifest In our mortal flesh." The thir
teenth chanter of I Corinthians doerlhes
the love that was manifest In Christ as
never In any other, and He will manifest
that love anil that life In ns In proportion
as we present to Him our bodies a living
saerlllee(verse 1),
10. "tie kindly affoetloned one to another
with brotherly love. In honor preferring
one another." This Is tho love that seeketh
not her own; not our own prollt, but the
profit of many, that they may be saved (I
Cor. X., 83; xlll., S). The "therefore" of
verse 1 of our lesson chapter takes us bank
to the "justltlod freelv," "Instilled by
faith," "no condemnation," ''freelv with
Him all things," etc., of Horn. III., 24; v., 1;
vlll., 1, 82, and because of all this It Is
surely a reasonable thing that wo should
l-t Him haveotir whole being, that Ho may
by renewing our minds transform us Into
His own Image (liom. vlll., 29).
11. "Not slothful In business, fervent !n
spirit, serving the Lord." The It. V. says,
"In diligence, not slothful," nnd In the
margin says that some manuscripts give,
"serving the opportunity." Tho latter
would suggest the simplicity of I Bam. x
7, "Do as oneaslori serve thee, for God Is
with then," and tha former would be la
tho line of Col. HI., 23, "Whatsoever ye do,
do It heartily, as tc tho Lord, and not uuto
men."
12. "IlejoMng In hope, patient In tribu
lation, continuing Instant in prayer. I
think we are safe In saying that the hops

ways, refers to the second coming of Christ
and the events therewith associated. Hee
Horn, v., 2; vlll., 24. 25; Titus II., 1.1; I John
Hi., 8. The tribulation that worketh pa
tience Is our privilege all along the Journey
(Horn, v., 3; John xvl., 83; Itov. I., 9; Hnb.
x., 80, 87), and the attitude of increasing
prayer is our great privilege as well as
ueei-s.ilty (I Thoss. v., 17; Hob. Iv., 10).
13. ."Distributing to the necessity nf
taints, given to hospitality." If one should
be asked why he worked so hard early anil
late at bis dally toll, and should replv,
"That I may have to give to him that
neeileth," he might seem to bo a little un
balanced In his mind, but he would be talk
ing, as well as living, according to sarin
lures (E)h. Iv., 28).
14. "Jlloss them whleh persecute yon;
bless and curse not." Now this Is easy
talking, but the practice of it Is not so popu
lar as to have as yet become the fashion. It
Is. however, tho plain teaching of our Lord
(Math, v., 44), and Ho always practiced
what He preached. If His life is to be maila
manifest In us, this phase of It is surely in
cluded. It was beautifully manifest In
Htonhon when he In tho midst of their per
secution lookeil like nn angel and acted
like the Lord Himself (Acts vl., Ir; vll., AO).
15. "Itejolee with them that do rojoloe,
and weep with them that weop." The unity
of the body of Christ is suoh that when the
members are abiding in Him If one member
luffera all suffer with that one, and if ono
member be honored all tho members rejoice
with it (I Cor. xil., 20). This is as It should
be, but whom Is it seen What, then, alls
the body? Is It as In Phil. II.. 21, "All seek
their own, not tho things which aro Josus
Christ's?" If so, how can tho body expect
tho blessing of the Head? Let oanh nsk
himself, Am I a healthy mouther of His
body or a grief to Him?
1(1. "13o of the same mind one toward an
other. Mind not high tilings, but eondo.
eend to men of low estate. Ite not wise In
four own conceits." On the second olause
the margin says, "Be contented with mean
things." The margin of the It. V. says, "He
carried away with thorn that are lowly." If
we will allow ourselves to be carried away
with Him who Is meek and lowly, who maija
Himself of norenutatioa and humbled Him
lolf unto death for us. Ho will surely take
possession of us and. manifest Uls life In us.
17. "Iteebmpense to no man evil for evil.
Frovlde things honest In tho sight of all
men." Not rendering evil for evil, but,
contrariwise, blessing, knowing that ye aro
thereunto called that yo should inherit a
blessing (I Pot. III.. 0). Providing for
honest things, not only In the sight of tho
Lord, but also In (he sight of ineu (II Can
vlll., 21). Whatsoever tlUugs are true, lion
sst, Just, lovely, wo are to think on theso
things (VM. (v., 8).
18. "If it be possible, as muoh as llnth In
you, live peaceably with all men." This
seems vory carefully worded. There aro
those who know nothing ot peace, they
teem born for war, and yet somehow they
get united to or mixed up with those who
are for peaoe, and tha peaceful party seem
to be in a good school for the cultivation
ot patience. Well, we must "let tha peace
of Ood rule In our hearts" and be thank
ful that He is able to subdue, for Ho Is the
Prince of Peace (Col. III., 15; Phil. 111., 21).
10. "Dearly beloved, avenge not your
selves, but rather give plaoe unto wrath,
for it is written, Vengeanoe is mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord." This certotnly can
not mean that we are to be satisfied with
getting angry, but without taking venge
anoe. Bather, as In the R. V. margin, give
plaoe to the wrath of Ood. Let Him take
charge ot all the wrath and vengeanu
business.
20. "Therefore, If thine enemy hunger,
feed htm; if he thirst, give him drink, for In
so doing thou slmlt heap eouls ot lire on
bis head." This Is a quotation from Prov,
xxv., 21, 22, but the last olauso of that pas
sage is omitted, "The Lord shall reward
.thee."
21. "Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good." The ornament of a
meek and quiet spirit Is In the sight of Ood
of great price (I Put. Hi., 4), and the meek
and lowly one who when Ha was reviled,
reviled not again; when He suffered,. He
threatened not, will work in us this spirit
and live In us this life whenever we are
willing that Ke should. The word "trans
formed" in verse 2 of this chapter Is the
same word that is translated "trausllg
ured" in Matb. xvli., 2; Mark lx 3, and
"are changed" in II Cor. Hi., 18, and used
only In these four places. The lust passage
seems to me to show the only way to bt
thus transfigured; therefore let us go on
"beaoldlng Him" until we see Him face to
face, and then we shall be like Jllin (1
John 111., 8). Lesson Helper.

AN OPEN LETTER
From Miss Baohnor, of Columbus,
O, to Ailing Women.
To all women who are 111: It af
fords me great pleasure to tell you of
the benefit I lievo derived from tak
ing Lydia E. l'lnkham's Vegetable
Compound. I can hardly find words to
express my gratitude for the boon
given to suffering women In that ex
cellent remedy. Before taking 'the
Compound
I was thin,
sallow, and
nervous. I
was trou
bled with
leucor-
rhuea, and
my men
strual pe
riods were
very irreg
ular. I
tried three phy
sicians and gradually grew worse.
About a year ago I was advised by a
friend to try Mrs. l'lnkham's Sanative
AVaNh and Vegetable Compound, which
I did. After using three bottles of
the Vegetable Compound and one pack
age of Sanative Wash, I am now enjoy
ing better health than I ever did, and
attribute the same to your wonderful
remedies. I cannot find words to ex
press what a Uodscnd they have been
to me. .
Whenever I begin to feci nervous nnd
HI, I know I have a never-failing phy
sician at hand. It would afford ma
pleasnro to know that my words had
directed some suffering sister to health
and strength through those most ex
cellent remedies. Miss Mat Sacunkb,
M8i E. Rich St., Columbus, O.
