A Miracle in Vermont.
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN.
Hrltkta WLLLT AN Incurable DIKMC anil yet Cured. (From the Argut anil Patriot, ifonlprlicr, ("/.)
Eight yeura ago (Jeo. Hutchinson moved from Bradford to Chelsea, Vt., and bought the sawmill at the latter plnce. He wan known as one of the strongest men in that section. On Bee. 10,'92 while at work in ihe mill, he was utriick iu the back by a flying board, which seriously injured him and incapacitated him fur work of any kind. As a result of this, Locomotor Ataxia •et in, (this is a form of paralysis which deprives the patient «.f nil u»e i' his lower limbs.) The Argun ii Patriot interviewed Mr. Hutchinson to-day, and his story it here given in his own words.
My buck ached continually and my legs begun to grow numb and to be lens and less usable. By the 15th of April I i-mild do absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to stand. My physicians advised me to go to the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, to be treated, and I took their advice. When I left home my friends bade me gnml-bye, never expecting to see me alive agn'io. The physicians at the hospital told me that my case was a serious one and I was completely discouraged. I remained at the liospiUil seven weekE and took the medicines 'which the doctors gave me. 1 felt better at the hospital and thought that I was recovering, and went home to continue their treatment, which I did for two months, and also had an electric battery under their advice. The improvement, however, did not continue and I began to give up iinpe. August 1st, 1893,1 could not get out of my chair without assistance, and if 1 got down tipon the floor, 1 could not g''t u| alone. About this time 1 chanced to read an account of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills for Pale People in eas-cs similar my own. I did not have any faith in the 1'ilis but thought a trial could do no harm, 1 bought some without telling anyone what I was going to do. After I had been tn'iing them some time 1 found that, for the firM time in months was able to walk down to the post oflice, and inv neighbors bewail to discuss the marked improvement in my health. As I continued the medicine 1 continued to improve, and soon recommenced work iu the mill, at first very lightly, and increasing as I was ftble and as l" gained in health and spirits, and now for the past three months 1 have been working ten hours
?er
day almost as steadily as 1 ever did. feel well, rat, well and sleep as well as I ever did and I have no pain anywhere."
The reporter talked with several other gentlemen in regard to the case of Mr. Ilutchin'on, who stated that any statement he might make would be rntitled to entire credence.

MODERN CANDLE8.
THEY ARE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS OVER THOSE OF FORTY YEARS AGO.
The Cult of Light Has Been of IneHtlwi}ble Service to Mankind—It Is a Mistake to Think That Gas and Electricity Have
Entirely Snuffed Out the Candle.
Nov? that caudles have again corue into use as a means for lighting reception rooms where gas is considered too hot and electric lights too glaring, comparisons are being made with the candles of today and those of the long ago. He is not a very old iuqu who still remembers the lnalodorotW"'tallow dip," six to the pound, that he bought at the grocery or perhaps may have helped to make in a domestic way on Saturdays when at home from school.
It is bnt a few years since candlemolds wero a very important and necessary part of every household, and yet
HO
completely are they now banished to the limbo of forgotten and nseleKs things that there must be thousands of yonng people to whom a pair of snuffers and a cnmile mold would prove tindoubted curiosities. They were not very pleasant to the nostrils, those old fashioned tallow caudles, their illuminating power was not: good, and their need of constant snuffing was indispensable, and though the lingers were the handjest of snuffers one was very apt to badly smudged in the course of an evening.
Yet the world stumbled along with no better light than that for 18 eei: tunes and accomplished considerable things on the way. Great scholars wero made by Hived up candle ends, great, volumes written and tho world enlightened, even if tho writers and teachers groped a great deal.
The great- performances of Garrick and Sitldons were given behind footlights of tallow candles, and the candle suuffer was one of the most important of supers in tho theater of the olileu time. "Without a candle snuffer," says Goldsmith of a play he had seeu, "the piece would lose Irilf its embellishments."
In those days "early to bed and early to rise''' war a maxim that had much more significance, for it was necessary to get more out of daylight than in this era of gas and electricity. Candles have always occupied an important place in public worship. In the old times Christmas was called the Feast of Lights, because many cimdles were used at the feast, while the custom of setting a caudle Jit the head of a dead person after being "laid out" is still a practice.
But if people think that candles are not r.iueh used nowadays they are mistaken. There are still several candle manufactories in New York. A verylarge export business is done here, chiefly to the We?'. Indies and Central America. in the United States sales are principally in tho western states. The mining region takes large quantities, for uo light but candles is used in gold and silver mining.
Candles are also used for church purposes. at country hotels, and to some extent, in families. Many of the people of the i-iiKt. side, newly came to the country. use can '.les in preference to oil, being accustomed to candles and afraid of the oil. Although it is not a great while beftin- they :..-e won over to the use of oil. there ur" always thousands of others who. lor the first lew months uf their being here, shun oil as they would deadly poison.
No branch of industry has undergone the change that candle making has in the last aO years. Formerly it was merely a mechanical opera!inn. Anybody could make candles and almost everybody did.
Now it is a scientific industiy, bringing to its aid the resources of chemistry. Formerly a candle was a greasy, noisome thing that one usually handled with disgust now it is artistic and refined and can be handled without the least offense. The wick is so prepared that the combustion is complete, and snuffers have long been banished. An ancient candle maker could only work with materials already provided by nature, so that lie had to use fats, with all their impurities.
The modern candle maker bv chemical process removes impurities, which leaves him nothing but the hard and white fat for his candles. Fat changed by this process is called stenrine, and from this material are made the star and stearic, wax caudles. These are extremely hard and are sometimes called adamantine, do not grease the hands and give a soft iud pleasing light. Spermaceti and wax caudles are also made.
The caudle has ever remained the unit of light. Sometimes you hear of a light, say gas, being of 25 candle power. The standard is a spermaceti candle burning lit the rate of 120 grains of sperm per hour. There are caudles, too, which are tnade of paraffin, but no candles are nsed so extensively its the star or stearine.
The great improvement in the manufacture of caudles dates from the investigations of tho French chemist, M. Clievreul. He discovered that the fat of tallow was separable from the oil, and the result, of the process was two valuable products—stearine and glycerin. Those who have used the candles of the past can scarcely realize that candles can now be shipped to warm climates. In former days a merchant, would as soon have thought of exporting skates or snowshoes to Havana as a cargo of tallow candles. They would have all melted into an indistinguishable mass going across the gulf of Mexico. But such caudles as are made now can be used iu the hottest climate in the •world.
Caudles, however, are not a cheap light. A box of tlieui will cost as much as a barrel of oii, aud yet the barrel of oil contains nearly 80 times the illuminating power of the box of candles. Tho only great advantage of the caudle is its safety.
Oil and gas are much cheaper. Where candles are used danger from fire is reduced to the lowest.—New York World.

IN THE AMPHITHEATER.
A Contest llefore King* Herod and ]'OD I this Plljita* In JeruKAl^m.
On one of those days he went to the amphitheater, the circus which Herod the Great, had built, at some distance from lie city. He paid for a seat in one of the upper galleries. Ou the tiers of seats below him were all sorts of people, and far away, on the opposite side of the vast arena, the. sandy level in the middle, he saw, in tho lower tier, a canopied place that was furnished magnificently. In it there were throne seats, and on them sat King Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Romau generals, with other distiuguished men, aud a uumber of richly dressed women, some of whom wore brilliant tiaras or coronets upon their heads. He stared at them for a few minutes and at the tremendous throng of people, bnt after that he thought only of what was goiug ou in the areua.
There were chariot races, and Cyril could not help being intensely excited by the mad rush of the contending teams, while all the thousands who looked ou shouted and raved. After the races, however, came scenes some of which made him shudder. There were foot races and boxing matches, but these were soon over, and tiieu there were contests between pairs of swordsmen, spearmen, clubmeu, and the like, in which the fight went on until one of the combatants was slain. Close upon the last of these duels, bands of gladiators marched in from opposite sides of the areua and charged each other like detachments of fioldiers upon a real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desperate, but one side was soon beaten, for the parties had not been equal. One party had beeu trained warriors, professional gladiators, aud the other only common men, captives taken in a recent raid of Pilatus' soldiers upon a wild tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were brave enough, but they were put there only to be killed for the amusement of the great men and of the multitude. So were the poor victims with whom the day's exhibition closed, for they were driven iuto the arena, half armed, to oonteud as best they could with a number of hungry lious, tigers, leopards aud hyenas, which were loosed upon them from their dens under the tiers of seats. —W. O. Stoddard in St. Nicholas.

The early British church possessed sacred music, but this was gradually driven out before the onward march of that new church music which Augustine brought with him from Rome (A. D. 5f'T i.

CHAMP CLARK'S STOftY.
How It I miirawed a Youngster Who Heard It In Speech. In the Garfield-Hancock campaign there was a big Democratic meeting at a certain place-iu St. Charles county, in this state. A number of distinguished Democratic speakers were there, and we had a day of it. The writer was theu a Km a 11 child, bnt one of the speakers made a very profound impressiou upou his mind. The speaker was uo other than Champ Clark.
No one asks now, "Who was Champ ClarkV" but then he was a new star in the firmament.
We had a number of speeches, and the children were very tired. I can't speak for the grown people, because the good Democrats there would not have owned to being tired, I know, after such a display of eloquence from their great party leaders. Av any rate I was tired, but my mother whimpered: "There, is only one more speech," and 1 was much lelievcd. A blond young mau was introduced as Champ Clark of Pike county. He came forward with a pleasant face and mauner that at once attracted my attention. Ho began in this way: "1 am reminded of the boy who killed a possuhi and expected to enjoy a possum dinner tho next day. The family was about to sit down to the dinner table when a wagon drove up and a neighbor's family came in. Tho head of the house announced that the visitors had come to dinner. There was uo room at the table for our young friend, the sportmau, ami he waited, with his eyes anxiously fixed ou the dish of possum. The guests had good appetites. Finally there was only one piece of possum left, and one of his own family took that. Then the possum lover busted right out a-crying. The disappointment was too much for him. "My friends,'' continued Mr. Clark. "I am in that same condition. When I heard the first speech, 1 thought, well— that is pretty bad, but still I have something left to say. Then there came the next speech, and the next, and when the last speaker finished I just busted right out a-orying, because there was not another thing left for me to say."
But there was, aud he said it too. He awakened that, audience till you could hear its applause a mile away. 1 think that, that was probably the first time Champ Clark ever spoke in St. Charles county. He carried ba&k home with him the thanks and appreciation of a good many of his hearers that day. —St. Louis Republic.

"What do you expect to bring forward in this congress?" said one new member to another. "Absolutely nothing," was the reply. "But are you not going to try to write your name on the immortal scroll of fame? Don't you realize that you were sent here by your coustituents to see to it that these other fellows don't let the ship of state drift on to a sand bar?" "My dear friend, I don't bother nivlelf with reflections of that kind. My wife, who is a discerning and practical Woman, once made a remark to mo dur'ng housecleaniug time which has astisted me on many occasions." "What was it?" "She said that next to a genuiue hero ihe. mau to be most admired is one who knows how nut to get in the way. Washington Star.

Before the finished fruit come bud and blossom. Bud grows into blossom and blossom into fruit. And so girlhood merjres into womanhood and tliis woman into motherhood.
The two most critical times in a woman's life are the times which maketlie girl a woman, and the woman a mother. At these times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is of incalculable value. It tune
danger into safety and pain into ease. It is a medicine v.hich has but one object. It is pood for but one thing. It strengthens and invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, it promotes regularity of the functions, allays irritation and inflammation, checks unnatural, exhausting drains, and puts the whole delicate organism into perfect condition. Almost all of the ills womankind art traceable to some form of what is known as "female complaint." And this generally begins either at the time of puberty or childbirth, or at the turn of life."
There are not three eases in a hundred of woman's peculiar diseases that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will not cure. Thousands of grateful women have been rendered healthy and happy by its use. and the experience and testimony of many of them has been included in* Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser.
