REV. DR. JONATHAN WHITELY'S
WIDOW STRICKEN WITH
PARALYSIS.
ltul She Has Beon Cured— l ong May She
Live and Long Live the It etriedy to
Which Sit* Owen Her Life.
Fromihe (razelte, Meadville, Pa.
The following interesting interviews con
cerning the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Tale People, have lately been re
ceived at the office of this newspaper:
The first embodies a con versa! ion with Mrs.
M. A. Whitely, the widow of tho late Rev.
Jonathan Whitely, D. D., an eminent div.ne
of the Methodist denomination. Mrs. Whitely
spoke as follows;
"I consider it ray duty to tell for publica
tion the immense benefit I have derived from
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Three years ago I
was stricken by paralysis, and lay helpless
for months. I was at last advised to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, which after many mis
glviugs I concluded to do, as I had lost faith
In all medicines. The first box helped me
much, and the continual useof tho pills has
worked and is working wonders. To-day I
have driven twelve miles without fatigue. I
cannot say too much in praise cf Dr. Will
lams' rink Pills for they havo doutfmea
world of good."
Mr. John W. Beutty, who is a contractor
and builder of Meadville, of the highest re
spec.'ability, savs:
"Although I havo passed tho meridian of
life, I am glad to be able to say that I have
but little or no use for medicine of any kind.
Rut my wife is not so fortunate. DuriDg the
last few years she has been a sufferer from
dropsy and disease of the heart, and at times
suffered greatly. A few months ago she bo
can taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People and ha* been greatly benefited by
their use. She/ixperlenced a numbness and
coldness In her limbs and at times could
scarcely walk by reason of poor circulation
ofthoblood. All these unpleasant symptoms
have disappeared and I confidently hope to
see her a well woman ere long. 1 will also
take the liberty to speak for a brother-in-law
of mine, G. W. Myer, who resides at Hhenk
leyville, Mercer County, Pa. Ho great was
ills affliction by reason of erysi|M)ias in the
fuco and a general breaking down of the sys
tem that lust winter lie was given up to die.
Dr. Williams' Pink Plllp for Pale People have
made him a new man and he is as one res
cued from the very jaws of death."
Mr. Prentice Fry, of Meadville, testifies a
follows:
"My wife und daughter have been failing
in health for some time nnd the treatments
of physicians in their cases havo been fruit
less. Ho much has been said of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People that I resolved to
try them, and myself and family will always
be glad that Providence threw such a modi
cine in our way. Tho pale faces nnd wasted
cheeks of my wife and daughter have disap
peared, and the ruddy glow of health has re
appeared. Pen cannot rocord my feelings in
the matter, aud alii can say is that I trust
all whoaie bowed down by the heavy hand
of physical infirmity will learn thai there is
a remedy that cures and places suffering
humanity where they can enjoy this earthly
existence. God bless the maker of Dr. Wi 11-
iums' Pink Pills for Pale People."

A Wonderful Statement
From Mrs. McGillas to Mrs. l'inhham.
I think it my duty, dear Mrs. Pink
ham, to tell you what your wonderful
Compound has done for ine.
I was dreadfully ill—the doctors said
and some-
times i would get so blind, I could not
oee for several minutes.
I could not stand very long without
feeling sick and vomiting. I could not
breathe a long breath without scream
ing, my heart pained so.
I also had female weakness, inflam
mation of ovaries, painful menstrua
tion, displacement of the womb, itcli
ing of the external parts, and ulcera
tion of the womb. I have had aLI these
complaints.
The pains 1 had to stand were some
thing dreadful. My husband told me
to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham s
medicine, which I did, and after taking
it for a while, was cured. No other
kind of medicine for me as long as you
make Compound. I hope every woman
who suffers will take your Compound
and be cured.— MßS. J. S. MCGILLAS,

Thirteen Centuries Ago.
A boy from Mecca was seeing Da
mascus. He was a handsome lad, thir
teen years old, by the name of Mo
hammed. He had come from Arabia
with his uncle, who was on a business
trip to Damascus and other Syrian
cities. Most assuredly he knew the
story of Damascus, "the garden of the
Lord," watered by the seven branches
of the river Albana, founded by the
grandson of Shem. His family sprang
from the distinguished tribe of Kore
ish, the custodians of the sacred shrine
at Caaba, and the Arabian descendants
of Ishmael were as well informed In
biblical history as their Hebrew kin
folk. It was not the antiquity of
Damascus that appealed to Moham
med's delighted eyes and carried cap
tive his fancy, but scenes, its bright
bazaars, revealing all the life for which
it stood, its street world far exceeding
in marvels anything he has ever
imagined. The Arabian boy grew to
manhood, possessed of grace of person
and fascinating qualities of mind. He
was by turns a shepherd, a merchant,
the manager of the estates of a widow
named Cadijah. and afterward her
husband. A few miles from Mecca is
a cave much frequented by Mohammed.
Here he is visited by the Angel Gabriel
and bidden to tell his fellow-men
"there is but one God, and Mohammed
is his prophet." He is given a copy of
the Koran, written since all eternity
on tablets in the heaven, and he is
commanded to take the sword and con
quer the world for the new faith. And
now the Arabian boy calls himself the
prophet of God, with a multitude of
Mohammedan followers. The sword
or the Koran is the watchword of his
armies everywhere victorious. In brief
while Damascus pays tribute to her
Arabian conquerors, and the city that
gave him his first vision of the world
is no longer Christian but Moslem.
Such in quick succession is the fate of
Jerusalem, Antioch, and Aleppo.
All this happened more than thirteen
centuries ago. The Koran contains the
doctrines of Mohammed, as he said
they were given him by the angel.
Among other things it commands the
practice of prayer. Five times each
day must the believer turn his face
toward Mecca and engage in devotion.
Mecca, the birthplace of the boy Mo
hammed, and thither every worshipper
of Damascus turns at the muezzin call.
Centuries ago a Tartar people con
quered the Arabs, but adopted their re
ligion, and to-day it is the Moslem-
Turk who rules in the East, not the
Moslem-Arab.
The faithful of all nationalities, how
ever, pray to Allah to-day as they did
thirteen hundred years ago, to "destroy
the infidels, make their children or
phans, defile their abodes, give them
and their families, and their house
holds. and their women, and their pos
sessions, as booty to the Moslems."
Truly, the boy from Mecca was born
under a brilliant star, but who will say
It was good and beneficent?
Origin of the Steam Whistle.
It is told that the locomotive whistle
was invented because of the destruc
tion of a load of eggs. When loco
motives were first built the country
roads were for the most part crossed
it grade and the engine driver had no
way of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing a tin horn. The
horn, it may be imagined, was far from
being sufficient warning. One day in
the year 1833 a farmer of Thornton
was crossing the railroad track on one
of the country roads with a great load
of eggs and butter. Just as he came
out upon the track a train approached.
The engine man blew his horn lustily,
but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozen of eggs and fifty pounds of but
ter were smashed into an indis
tinguishable. unpleasant mass and
mingled with tho kindling wood -to
which the wagon was reduced. The
railway company had to pay the farm
-3r the value of his wagon. It was con
sidered a very serious matter and
straightway a director of the com
pany, ABhlen Baxter by.ntfTue, went to
Alton Grange, where Georfetf Stephen
son liyed, to see if he could not invent
something that would give warning
more likely to be heard. Stephenson
went to work and the next day had a
contrivance which, when attached to
the engine boiler and the steam turned
on gave out a shrill discordant sound.
The railroad directors, greatly delight-
Ed, ordered similar contrivances at
tached to all the locomotives, and from
that day to this the voice of the loco
motive whistle has never been silent.—
From Iron.
Another Evening Game.
Crambo.—Two pieces of paper, un
like both in size and color, are given to
each person. On one of them a noun
must be written, and on the other a
question. Two gentlemen's hats must
then be called for, into one of which
the nouns must be dropped, and into
the other the questions and all well
shuffled. The hats must then be hand
ed round, until each person is supplied
with a question and a noun. The thing
now to be done is for each player to
write an answer in rhyme to the ques
tion he finds written on the one paper,
bringing in the noun written on the
other paper.
Sometimes the questions and tho
nouns are so thoroughly inapplicable
to each other that it is impossible to
produce anything like sensible poetry.
The player need not trouble about this,
however, for the more nonsensical the
rhyme the greater the fun. Sometimes
players are fortunate enough to draw
from the hats both noun and question
that may be easily linked together. A
question once drawn was: "Why do
summer roses fade?" The noun drawn
was "butterfly," so that the following
rhyme was easily concocted:
Summer roses fade away,
The reason why 1 cannot say,
Unless it be because they try
To cheat the pretty butterfly.
Aii Invention in Sea-Signalling.
An Amsterdam correspondent of the
Westminster Gazette writes: It looks
as if we dull Dutchmen are upon the
point of giving to the world a priceless
invention, the means by which ships at
sea may he on speaking terms under
all circumstances, or have the power
to communicate with the shore. Some
weeks since people living on the out
skirts of the town, returning home in
the dark hours of the evening were
scared by very peculiar unearthly
sounds, something akin to the deep,
penetrating scream of a steamer's syren
In the mist, although there was no
water near to speak of, and consequent
ly no possibility of a steamer. The rid
dle is now solved. It has been found
possible to produce a constant, unvary
ing sound which may
(1) Be heard at a distance of at least
Ave miles against a stiff breeze.
(2) Is of such a nature and quality
that It is quite easy to determine to a
ulcety the direction from which It
comes.
(3) Is produced by an instrument
which can be moved about without al
tering the sound —that is, in the same
manner as an electric searchlight.
(I) Last, not least, that parts of the
Instrument may be differently tuned,
which makes it possible to give con
stant alternative signals which may be
codified, so that a conversation may be
kept up.
It appears that the inventors some
weeks since made trials in the dark,
and, of course, in lonely, outlying
places in the neighborhood, and so pro
duced the ghostly noises aforesaid.
Competent persons are of opinion that
the thing really is a great success. The
Zealand Company has resolved to give
the invention a fair trial, and the
world may soon hear more of it. It
is quite clear that if the steamer which
met the Drummond Castle had pos
se.-sed such an instrument and its sig
nals could have been understood by
tho Drummond's officers, the disaster
might not have occurred.
Cnrlnbrookc Castle.
As a memorial to the late Prince
Henry of Battenberg, Governor of the
Castle, Carisbrooke Castle, in the Isle
of Wight, Is to be fully repaired. By
some considered to be of Roman, per
haps British, origin, the Castle was
captured in 530 by Cedric, who gave it
to his nephews, Stuf and Wightgar, tile
latter of whom rebuilt it. The fort
was enlarged by William Fitz-Osborne,
the first lord of the island, and in
Doomsday Book it is cited as occupy
ing one virgate of ground. Some Nor
man masonry remains at the north
west angle and in the Mountjoy tower,
the main entrance is supposed to have
been built, lemp. Edward IV, by Lord
Wldville, whose arms, between York
roses, are on a stone near the top. Tho
Castle assumed its present aspect in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth; she built
the outworks, with a moat, and re
paired the principal gate, above which
Is "E. R., 1508," employing for engi
neer the Italian, Ganebella, who had
fortified Antwerp. The keep stands on
an artificial mound ascended by seven
ty steps. One may yet see the ruins of
the apartments occupied for some four
teen months, during Colonel Ham
mond's governorship, by Charles I,
from which he twice attempted to es
cape, and where his children were im
prisoned after his death. The grave
stone of his daughter. Princess Eliza
beth, inscribed "E. g ," was found in
1793 near the altar of Newport parish
church, wherein the queen erected
a monument to her memory forty
years ago.
Awkward for the Doctor.
The doctor of a village near Man
chester took a patient to the asylum.
On arriving there the lunatic walked
up to the proprietor of the asylum, and,
pointing to the doctor, whispered:
"Get him into bed at once and shave
his head; he's violent. Thinks him
self a doctor, poor fellow, and you
must humor him."
The proprietor was completely de
ceived, and the protestations of the doc
tor were of no avail. He was shaved
and straightwaistcoated immediately,
while the lunatic went away, chuckling
to himself all the way.
Two days elapsed before the unfortu
nate medico was released from his
awkward position.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
ENGLISH BREAD CRUST FOR FOWL.
Tut a cupful of bread crumbs into
half a pint of milk, add a clovo of gar
lic or a small onion loft whole, a blado
of macs, a lump of batter about the
size of a peoau nut, popper and salt.
Let the mixture boil until it thickens
to the consistency of drawn butter.
The onion and raaco are removed when
it is put into the sauce tureen. It is
much daintier and more wholesome
than gravy. Cold boiled ham is al
ways served with roast fowl in England,
and those who have so eaten it approve
highly oi the combination.
AN HONEST MEAT STEW.
Real honest meat stow is a delicious
dish, but this is one of the best ways
to make it. Cut the meat iuto small
dice with a sharp knife and put to
stewing gently in a pint of hot water
or swcot, not very salty, beef stock.
Stew till tender, then put in three
tnblespoonfuls of diced, oold-boiled
potatoes. Stir in quarter of a cup of
butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour till
it is smooth, ono tablespoonfnl of beef
extract, teaspoonful of lemon juioo
and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
Stir this evenly iuto the bubbling
stew aud season with salt and pepper
to taste. It's good and you are bound
to think so. Toasted bread is nice to
eat with it. It is an exoellent "hurry
up" dish.
BAKED BEANS.
No other vegetable has so great a
food value, though peas and lentils nre
nearly as nutritious. A frequent fail
ing in the preparation of beans is to
allow too little time for cooking. They
should be be cooked long and slowly
to be satisfactory. Clean and wash
well one quart of navy or pea beans
aud put to soak over night in a gallon
of cold water. In tho morning pour
oil this watrr and rinso the beans in
oold water, then put them in a stew
pan with six quarts of eold water. Add
a quarter of a teaspoonful of soda and
heat slowly to the boiling point and
simmer a quarter of an hour. Then
drain and rinse the beans again in cold
wator. Put them in an earthenware
baking-dish and placo a pound nnd n
half of cooked corn beef in tho centre
of the pot. Mix a tablespoonfnl of
molasses nnd a quarter of a saltspoon
of pepper with ono quart of boiling
water nnd pour over the beans. If
the liquid does not wholly cover thorn,
add enough boiling water to just cover
the beans. Cover the pot and bake
slowly all day, being careful to keep
the beans just covered with water.
They must be moist when done, but
not sloppy. If tho whole oven is need
ed at any time, set tho beans-pot on
the back of tho stovo until ready
to replace it. This quantity wiil
make more than two quarts when
done, and what is loft over can bo used
as a salad for luncheon afterward. For
thoso who do not liko ooru beef or
pork, two tablespoonfuls of butter and
a heaping teaspoonful of salt can bo
a6ed instead. At serving time turn
out on a llat dish and place tho meat
in the centre. If the beans have been
properly oooked each will bo whole,
yet all will be tender and have a rioh,
reddish color. Tomato catchup is u
harmonious adjunct to baked beaus,
lud takes the placo of pickles.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Use milk pudding and stowed fruit
for bilious dyspepsia.
After washing, never wring worsted
dross goods. Bkake them.
Bamboo furniture cau be cleaned
with a brush dipped in salt water.
Soak black calico in salt and water
before washing, and so prevent its
fading.
Toilet vinegar, cologne water aud
alcohol nro good for oily and moist
hands.
Spirits of turpentine is the thing
with which to elennso and brighten
patent-leather.
A dress pattern always makes a nice
present, and cau be bought in a box
for that purpose.
The dirtiest frying-pan will become
clean if soaked live minutes in am
monia and water.
Moderately strong salt and wntei
taken by the teaspoonful at intervale
is a oure for catarrhal cold.
No receptacle for soiled clothing,
even if handsomely decorated, should
be kept in a sleeping apartment.
When baking sponge cakes alwayi
have a steady ovou, aud do not open
| the door for the first twenty minutes.
Fresh fish should not bo soaked is
water before cooking; this treatmenl
only ruins the flavor and makes il
soft.
Silver handles for tooth brushes are
arranged so that tho brushes fit into
them, nnd cau bo renewed whenovei
necessary.
The addition of a little powdered
borax to cold starch tends to give the
linen extra stiffness, and a little tur
pentine put into the boiled starch add:
luster.
Old feather-beds, if left on a grass
plot during a summer shower, and
allowed to get thoroughly wet, will,
when dry and beaten, seem fresh and
new agaiu.
Whiten yellow linen by boiling hall
an hour in one pound of line soap
melted in one gallon of milk. Then
wash in suds, then in two cold waters,
with a little blueing.
If your window glass is lacking in
brillianoy cloan it with a liquid paste
made of alcohol and whitening. A
littlo of this mixture will remove
specks, and impart a high luster to the
glass.
Elootricity oan bo utilized for table
doeoration in wonderful ways. Minia
ture ioebergs, surrounding an electric
light, produce a beautiful effect, and
lights can be arranged amoug ferns so
that they resemble a cloud of bretties.

A literary man, to the niceties of expression and fund also of the
pleasures of the table, in speaking of
RIFANS .TASOLESj
says: "I couldn't recommend this remedy as heartily as Tdo if I didn't
believe in it. lam not much of a medicine taker. lam opposed to
medicine, on principle. There ought to be no need of medicine—just
as there ought to be no poverty—but there is. If people lived right
they would be well. Sunshine, air, exercise, fun, good food—plenty and
not too much—arc the best medicines, the natural ones; but men arc tied
to their desks, and women to their home cares, and both are tied to fash
ion. Civilized existence is artificial and needs artificial regulators. I
recommend Kipans Tabules—and take thorn myself. I know they arc both
harmless and effective. (I know what they arc made of.) They arc the
best remedy I know anything about for headaches, or indigestion, or
biliousness, or any sort of sluggishness in the system. And they are in
the handiest possible shape to carry in the pocket."
