INCURABLE DISEASES. ] THE LIST DECREASES AS THE KNOW.- ' EDGE OF SCIENCE INCREASES. Story of a Man Who Wag Given I'p to I Die by Seven Physician He Fol low* the Advice of a Friend and in Now a Well Man —A Wonderful Story. From the Leader, Morrinville,JJr.N r . Y. j "Ypnder Is a man," said the farmer to a | reporter, "who is the talk of this commu nity." "He is Mr. William Woodman, of Sonth | Hamilton, Madison Co., N. Y.," a well-to- ' do farmer, who is well known and stands I high for honesty and thrift in this neigh- j borhood. On the following day the newspaper man called on Mr. Woodman in his comfortable, : old-fashioned farm house. "I have had serious thoughts of writing I an account for the newspapers myself." I said Mr. Woodman, "but as I am not ac customed to such work, I have never at tempted it. Bit down and I will tell you all about it. "I am fifty-nine years old. I contracted rheumatism when only fourteen years of j age, then a severe cold" from over exertion ' raid from becoming over heated. My father • was a farmer and insisted thut the only way to make me strong was to do plenty of hard i work. When, however, he saw mo helpless I in bed for six long months without being i able to move except with help, he changed bis mind, and forever after believed that j children should not be made to do men's work. My growth was stoppod by suffer ing. and 1 do not think I urn un inch taller than that day, forty-five years ago. Dur ing the forty years ensuiug after mv 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 nil these gentlemen was that I was incurable, and all they could do was to ease my condition. After I grew to manhood I married and i have been blessed with a family. My dear wife has had all the drudgery of nursing and waiting upon me, and the burden has been indeed hard to bear. "Without hopo from physicians I began to take Dr. Williams' rink Pills, which was highly recommended by my friends. I took them and within one week began to feel better than I had since 1 was first afflicted. I took theso pills according to directions, and when the box was nearly gone I went over to Brookfleld to an old friend who was in the drug business, named Dr. Auro lius 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 on sale. 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 able to discontinue them, and now am as able bodied a man of my years as you will find. I ought to tell you that after I or dered the first box of pills the physician who was then attending me came in and I told him what I was doing. He said I was very foolish, that they would surely injure me, and it was bis duty to tell me so. I told the doctor that I might as well die us to drag out a miserable existence, and so, notwithstanding his warnings, continued to take the pills. Thank God the doctor was not able to dissuade me, for to them I now ascribe all the comfort and happiness I have in this world. I have recommended them to hundreds of pooplo since I was cured, and in every cose they have been effective, not only in rheumatism but in numerous other disorders, especially im poverishment of the blood, heart trouble and kidney disease. "I certify the above statement to be true, and if necessary will swear to the same be fore a Notary Public." William Woodmah. 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 Columbus Centre, to whom I recommended I)r. Williams' Pink Pills for aggravated kidney disease. He is now in perfect health. I have no doubt he will be glad to testify to the efficacy of the remedy that cured him." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by ail druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y., for 60c. per box. or six boxes for $2.60. Fast Freight Runs. The B. and O. S.

This is the \ second liXe they have saved this win ter." These were 1 lie concluding words ot a statement made by Commander Field of the sehoolship St. Mary's at a meeting of the Board of Education of ( Mew 'Yorl! city, a few months ago, re garding a rescue made by the boys of his ship. On the night of the 23d of February, ; after the boys on the St. Mary's had j turned in, the cry was raised on the wharf at the foot of which the ship 1 lies, in New York, that a man had j fallen overboard in the.North Klver. I The boys turned out, lowered a boat, and in n moment were off to the rescue. • Just as the man rose for the last time they pulled him in. and in an Insensible j condition he was taken to the hospital, where he revived. The next moment would have been , the man's lest, and the least delay on the part of the bandy boys would have been fatal to him. But if they had been capable of delays they would not have been good sailors, nnd they made no i delays and did no bungling. The school-ship on which these boys acted so bravely and promptly this time, and have acted as promptly and effectually before, is, though command ed by an officer of the United Statee navy, a part of the public school sys tem of New* York city.

Screened from Heat and Light. i The bottom of the deep sea Is, in deed, entirely screened from the warmth and light of the sun by the In tervening mass of water. On land we often experience that the Intervention of clouds, which are simply steam or divided masses of water, results In gloom and a fall of temperature. This effect la Infinitely more Intense at the bottom of the ocean, between which and the sun there Is interposed, not only for a day or two, a layer of cloud, , out, for ever, a volume of water often several miles thick. Even at fifteen i fathoms from the surface the light Is much subdued, producing more the ap ; pearance of pale moonlight than of sun ' tight, and experiments made Willi very sensitive photographic plates in the I clear water of the laike of Geneva have shown that sunlight does not penetrate to a greater depth there than 153 fathoms. In the ocean and in the trop ics, where sunshine is most Intense, no , light penetrates beyond a depth of 200 fathoms. Below this all is dark. The sun's bear, like Its light, Is also j cut off from the ocean depths in the same manner. A cousin of the writer found that in the hay 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 200 fathoms be has found that the thermometer stands all the year round at 55 degrees Fahr enheit; and at 2,000 fathoms It con stantly registers about 85 degree* Fahrenheit, or close upon freezing point. It is curious to note that as ws rise In the air. In ballooning or on mountain slopes, the temperature falls is we rise, and the same occurs as w Jive Into the depths of the ocean.

Elomlln's Orent Feat—Story ortlir Wmi He Carried Aero,, the fiorjc al Niagara Fall,—A Narreiv Kftcapr From Drath, Oivinc lo Interference With the linpe. "It was ill tlie year 1858, anil white still a mere boy," said Harry Coleord, an artist who was recently relating to a party of New York friends some of his early adventures nt sea, "that I' became tired 01" sailor life and went to Boston to look for something to do on shore. Shortly after my arrival in that city I made the acquaintance of Blondin, the tight rope walker, who was a member of the Francona troupe, which included Martinetti and the Bavals. Having some natural artistic talent I became, through the influence of Blondin, their scenic painter, and we traveled about, the country with varying success until the beginning of February, 1860, when the troupe reached Cincinnati and disbanded. "It was then that Blondin, who had seen and been greatly impressed with the beauties of Niagara, conceived the idea of crossing the great cataract on a tight rope. He asked me what I thought of making the journey across the falls on his back. At first I thought he was joking, but on his as suring me that lie was in earnest I consented to accompany him, aud to gether we started for Niagara to com plete arrangements for the proposed feat. "We experienced no little tronble in obtaining the necessary permits to extend the ropes. But finally wo suc ceeded in getting them front a man named Porter 011 the American side, and went to work. Blondin wauted to carry the rope from Terrapin tower and across to David's Hotel, which would have led us over the Horseshoe falls through the mist and spray of the cataract. "These arrangements were strongly condemned, because people said the spray would keep the rope damp and Blondin was sure to fall. So we stretched the rope from White's pleas ure ground across to the Clifton House. The rope was 2000 feet long. It was of manila, three inches in di ameter, made in a New York ropewalk in two pieces. Blondin joined them with a long splice, which, when the rope was extended, was in the centre of the span. It took us nearly five months to stretch the rope and get the guy lines in place. The rope was 250 feet above water at its lowest point, which was fifty feet below the highest—in other words, there was a grade of fifty feet in each 1000 feet. There was 75,000 feet of guy line attached to the rope. Each gny was weighted with a ten-pound sandbag to drop them out of the way of Blondin's balance pole, and in put ting them up the rope walker crossed the span a score of times. "At last we were ready to make the perilous journey, aud, it having been advertised through the newspapers that I was to rids *n Blondin's back, I became the subject of all kinds of ad verse criticisms. Indeed, I was ready to back out of my agreement, when Blondin began to taunt me to such nn extent that I finally decided that noth ing conld deter me from making the journey. "Meantime Blondin had coached me as to what I should, do. I was to pnt my weight on his shoulders only with my arms aud clasp his body about with my legs. But I should not pnt my weight on his legs, as that would en enmber his movements. I had to keep all my weight on his shoulders. "In July, 18611, everything being ready, I took my place on Blondin's hack and we started to cross the rope. We begnn the descent from the Can adian side of the rope, and by reason of the fact that I had to bear my weight on Blondin's shoulders and could only use my arm to support myself, fre quent rests were necessary. I told Blondin when I wanted to rest and then dropped down on the rope on one foot and waited till my arms were re lieved, when I would spring up again, using mp arms to lift nnd help myself in place. There was a great crowd present, but I did not sec it at first. From my place on Blondin's back I could look out to the American side, and see below the stunted pines throw ing their sharp points up from the | edge of the foaming, roaring waters, ready to split us in two if we fell. I remember that I was anxious to get over, aud I recall, too, that the great rope before us swung alarmingly from side to side. We afterward ascer tained that the rope had been swing ing forty feet at the centre. The swing was caused by there being a length of forty feet between the guys on one side aud those 011 the other, i It was the middle span. Below us 250 1 feet roared the river, and over it we j swung from side to side. Still moving I on steadily Blondin never trembled, i When he had gone about ten feet on 1 this middle span, some one on the j American side pulled tho outer guy ; line. We afterward found out that it : was done intentionally, and the rope 1 was stopped in its swing, j "Blondin stopped aud his pole went ! from side to side in a vain effort to en j able him to secure his balance. At one time his polo was up and down on the right side, at another up and down on the left, and I recall now with won der that I was only curious to know whether he would succeed in gaining control of himself or not. Failing to get his balance, he started to inn across the horrible span, and in safety reached the point where* the guy rope came from the Amfericah shore. Theft to steady himself Blondin ,ptit his loot on the gny rope and tried to stop, but the guy snapped, and with a dash of speed he ran swiftly twenty-five or thirty feet further and said: 'Destu dez vous.' "The perspiration now stood out oil his neck and shoulders in great beads, and we balanced ourselves on the swaying rope. Presently he said 'aliens,' and I raised myself to his shoulders and we went ou safely and without accident toward the shore. It was not, however, until we landed that I appreciated what had been done. Then it occurred to me that the man who palled the guy lino was one of those who had bet that the feat could never be accomplished, and my indig nation mastered any reactionary feel ing of fear. You see, mauy thousands of dollars were bet upon the ability of Blondin to carry a man over, aud human cupidity stops at. no sacrifice. Then came the congratulations and praises of pluck and the rest of it, so that in my foolish boyish elation I soon for got everything else. "I shall never forget the wonderful tableau which the 100,0000 people pre sented as they stood gazing up at us as we approached the shore. Thou sands of them turned their faces away or, half turning, cast anxious glances over their shoulders at us as we drew near the bank. Then the crowd be came very much excited, surged to ward us, and Blondin stopped, fearing they would push each other over the bank. When the crowd was still again Blondin started once more, and with a quick run we soon came to the end of the rope and sprang to the ground. Cheer after cheer then went up, and I was seized in the arms by a man, who lifted me high up in the air, saying: "Thank God, this terrible feat is over 1" "Would you have crossed again?" "I crossed again twice, the last time under the patronage of the Prince of Wales. He congratulated us, aud gave us each a purse of SIOO. I would not make the same journey now for all the wealth in the world."—Buffalo (N. Y.) Express. Saved by an Kxploclon. James Horan, a rancher living on theCoeur d'Alcne reservation in Idaho, met with a little accident recently which nearly resulted in the loss of his life. The story is told l>y Mr. Horan, whose veracity cannot be questioned, as follows: "My house is a small building, ten by twelve, and nine feet high, with a wing kitchen coming down to seven feet at the eaves. 1 had just started a lire to get my dinner, and had gone for a bucket of water, some 300 yards from the house, when,upon my return,! I saw the roof of the kitchen envel oped in a sheet, of flame. I attempted! to save the House by getting upon the roof of the kitchen with an ax, for the' purpose of cutting the kitchen roof from the roof of the main building. I stepped by the stovepipe and fell through to my armpits, and was un-| able to move up or down, with that! flame of lire and smoke about me. In) a few seconds it would have 'fixed', mo had it not been at tbat instant that? a five-pound can of powder had ignited and puffed me out onto a soft garden bed I had made the day before. The fire burned my overalls off me, and one of my shoes, but the fall from the top of the building to the garden bed did not hurt me at. all."—Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman-Review. A Story of Simple Heroif.ni at Sea. Every now and then a tale of simple heroism comes to us from the sea. The latest is the account of an experience on board the steam collier Saturn, off Burnegat the other day. A glass water gauge in the boiler room suddenly broke. Chief Engineer Gilkey, real izing the danger of a blow-out, cried to his fireman Bennett to run and save himself. Bennett refused to desert his chief, who was meantime endea voring to turn the stop-cook of the gauge. Soon, however, the two men wore driven from the boiler room by the clouds of steam that, hissed out. Two other members of the crew vol unteered to be lowered through a ven tilator in order to shut off the steam from the boilers. The scalded men were eventually cared for at the Marine Hospital at Staten Island. All this makes instructive reading, and shows that under many a grimy exterior are concealed the lineaments of a hero. ALPHABET OF PROVERBS. A grain of prudence is worth a pound of craft. Boasters arc cousins to liars. Confession of a fault makes half amends. Denying a fault doubles it.. Envy shoots at others and wounds herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God teaches us good things by our own hands. He has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to revengo wrongs than to suffer them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes a man lit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence it. One hour to-day is worth two to morrow.

It Is quite the custom to speak of the ' whites who were the first to go among the Indian tribes of the West as "pio neers of civilization." The "civiliza tion" was not always of a perfectly civ- j II order. The officials and traders of the old Hudson Bay Company used to claim credit for this rough pioneering. If we may judge from the records of the company, their work was thorough In its way, but the way was a hard one.
