wu to the effect that Mr rthe A. Quant, of Galway, who for six or eight years has been a great sufferer from creeping paralysis and its attendant UIb, and who had become utterly powerless of all self-help, had, by the use of a few boxes of the Pink Pills for Pale People, been bo fully restored to health as to be able to walk abont the street without the aid of crutches. The fame of this wonderful, miraculous cure was so great that the Evening Journal reporter thought it worth his while to go to Galway to call on Mr. Quant to learn from his lips, and from the observation and testimony of his neighbors, if his alleged cure Wits a fact or only an unfounded rumor. And ; so he drove to Galway and spent a day and a night there in visiting Mr. Quant, getting his story and interviewing his neighbors and fellow-townsmen. It may be proper to say that Galway is a pretty little village of about 400 people, delightfully located near the center of the town of Galway, in Saratoga county, and about 17 miles from Sara toga Springs. Upon inquiry the residence of Mr. Charles A. Quant was easily found, for everybody 6eemed to know him, speak well of him, and be overflowing with surprise and satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restoration to the activities of enterprising citisenship, for Mr. Quant was born in Galway and had spent most of his Ufe there. Mr. Quant was found at his pretty home, on a pleasant street nearly opposite the academy. In r«; sponse to a knock at the door it was opened by a man who, in reply to au qulry if Mr. Quant lived there and was at home, said: “lam Mr. Quant. Will you come in?” After a little general and preliminary conversation, and after ha had been apprised of the object for which the Journal reporter had called upon him, he, at request, told the story of himself and of his sickness and terrible sufferings, and of the ineffectual treatthhnt he had had. and of bis final cure by the useof Dx. Williams* Pink Pills for Pale People, and cheerfully gave assent to its use for publication. He said: “My name is Charles A. Quant. I am ST years ojd. I was bora in the village of Galway, and, excepting while traveling on business and a little while in Amsterdam, have spent my whole life here. My wife is a native of Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had never been sick and was then in perfect health. 1 was fully six feet tall, weighed 180 pounds and was very strong. For IS years I was a traveling salesman for a piano and organ company and had to do a great deal of heavy lifting, got my meals very irregularly and slept in enough 'spare beds’ in country houses to freeze any ordinary man to death, or at least give him the rheumatism. About eight years ago I began to feel distress in my stomach and consulted several doctors abont it. They all said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was treated by various doctors in different places, and took all the patent medicines I could hear of that claimed to be a cure for

gradually worse for four years. Theu I began have paid in my hack and legs and became conscious that my legs were getting weak and .my step unsteady, and then 1 staggered when I walked. Having received no benefit from the use of patent medicines, and feeling that 1 was constantly growing worse, I then, upon advice, began the use of electric belts, pads and all the many different kinds of electric appliances I could hear of, and spent hundreds of dollars for them, but they did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant showed the Journal reporter an electric suit of; underwear for which he paid 9134). In the fall of 1888 the doctors advised a change of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga., and acted as agent for the Estey Organ Company. While there I took a thorough electric treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate my disease, and the only relief I could get from the sharp and distressing pains was to take morphine. The pain was so intense at times that it seemed as though I could not stand it, and I almost longed for death as the only certain relief. In September of 188*) my legs gave out entirely and my left eye. wasdrawn to one side, so that I had double sight and was diz*y._ My trouble so affected my whole nervous system that I had to give up business. Then I re-, turned to New York and went to the Roosevelt hospital, where for. four months I was treated by specialists’ and they pronounced my case locomotor ataxia and incurable. After 1 had been under treatment by Prof. Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they told me they had done all they could for me. Then I went to the New York hospital on Fifteenth street,* where, upon examination, they said I was incnrable and would not take me in. At the Presbyterian hospital they examined me and told me the same thing. In March, 1890, I was taken to St Peter's hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun frankly told my wife my case was hopeless; that he could do nothing for me and that she had better take me back home and save my money. Bnt I wanted to make a trial of Prof. Hun's famous skill and I remained under his treatment for nine weeks; bnt secured ho benefit All this time I had been growing worse. I had become entirely paralysed from my waist down and had partly lost control of my hands. The {win was terrible; my legs felt as though they were freezing and my stomach would not retain food, and I fell away to 130 pounds. In the Albany hospital they put 17 big barns on my back one day with red-hot irons and after a lew days they put 14 more barns on and treated me with electricity, bnt I got worse rather than better; lost control of my towfla and water, and upon advice of the doctor, Who said there was no hope tor me, I was brought home, where it was \ thought thatdaath would foon come to while in this helpless and attfi friend of mine la Josh* 3Ea >ir

I expect organ and piano in too high terms Pills for Pale saved my life given me up as in. Other eltiMua of Galway, wonderful cure of Mr.Qnantbythe Pills for Pale People, are using t Frederick Sexton, a sufferer from rheumatism, said he was finding great benefit from their use, and Mr. Schultz, who had suffered from chronic dysentery for had taken two boxes of years, said be the pills and was already cured. Mr. Qnant had also tried Faith cure, with experts of that treatment in Albany and Greenville, S. C., but withjio beneficial results. A number of the more prominent litizens of Galway, as Rev. C. E. Herbert, of the Presbyterian church; Prof. James E. Kelly, principal of the academy; John P. and Harvey Croueli, and Frank and Edward Willard, merchants, and many others to whom Mr. Quant and his so miraculous cure by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, are well known, were pleased to have the opportunity of bearing testimony to the high character of Mr. Quant, and of verifying the story of his recovery from the terrible affliction from which ne had for so long a time been a sufTerer. Truly, the duty of the physician is not to save life, but to heal disease. The remarkable result from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the case of Mr. Quant, induced the reporter to make further inquiries concerning them, and he ascertained that they are not a patent medicine in the sense in which that term is generally used, but a highly scientific preparation, the result of years of study and careful experiment. They have no rival as a blood builder and nerve restorer and have met with unparalleled success in the treatment of such diseases as paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, St Vitus’ dance, palpitation of the heart, that tired, feeling which affects so many, and all diseases depending upon a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. Iff the case of men they affect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. On further inquiry the writer found that these pills are manufactured by The Dr. William*,* A-rdmim. rv. The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and Morristown, N. Y., and are sold in boxes, (never in bulk by the hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $3.50, and may be had of ail druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., from either address. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remedies, or medical treatment.

JUST A “MAN." the gentlemen wl^o advertised for a room with board?” “I’m one of {the men who advertised for a fair-sized room well lighted.” “One of the men?” “Yes, ma’am.” “How did your advertisement read?” “O, I just said: ‘A business man desires a fair-sized room, with board; within a mile of the business part of the city.’” “The advertisement read ‘a man?’" “Certainly." “Not ‘a refined gentleman?’ ” “No, indeed.” “Well, I’ll take a few dollars off of the price, then. I’ve been looking for a ’man.’ I’m rather tired of 'refined gentlemen.’ They generally play poker all night, and leave without paying their bills.”—Chicago Tribune. ••Go to Halifax." The evil repute of Halifax implied In this adage came to it by inheritance from Halifax in Yorkshire, England. Halifax law, as may be gathered from a letter of Lord Leicester quoted by Motley in his “History of the United States,” was that criminals should be “condemned first and Inquired upon afterward,” a law which in that one particular, at least, resembled “Jedburg justice.” * Halifax lay within the forest of Hardwick, where the law was that if a felon was taken with thirteen and a half pence worth of stolen goods he should be tried by four firth burghers from four of the precinct towns, and if condemned by them be hanged the next day. After this proceeding had been carried out to the letter the case might be sent to a jury! Halifax is also credited with being the home of the guillotine, which the regent, Earl Morton, introduced into Sootland only to have his own head chopped off with it—St Louis Republic. A Howe with Four Thousand Rooms. The Vatican, the ancient palace of the popes of Rome, is the most magnificent building of the kind in the world. It stands on the right bank of the Tiber, on a hill called the Vaticanus, because the Latins formerly worshipped Vati cinium, an ancient oracular deity, at that place. Exactly when the building was commenced no one knows Charlemagne is known to have inhabited it over a thousand years ago. The present extent of the building is enormous, tbs number of rooms, at the lowest computation, being four thousand four hundred and twenty-two. Its treasures of marble statues, ancient gems, paintings, books, manuscripts, etc., are to be compared only with those in the British museum. The length of the Statue museum alone Is a fraction over a wile.. Conservative writers say that As He Was Not a “Refined Gentleman'* She Made n Reduction. When the landlady entered the room he rose from his chair and said: “You have a room to rent, I believe?” “Yes, sir—front room on the second floor,” she replied. “Are you one of

,M F*» Cent. OB >0(11 to ShodProUs ol i the bateau Of atat sties has annual report on Imported i entered for consumption in 1891, we hare the data required to determine how high a rate we are paying on imported wooIb and woolen goods, l^he McKinley tariff raised the duties on woolen goods so high that for a long time they were supposed to be prohibitive. Bat it was soon found that notwithstanding the high duties imposed, woolen goods continued to be imported, though in diminished quantities. In 1890 we imported 854, 165.473 of wcolen goods and in 1891, *43,335,410. Of the imports in 1891 133,543,019, were entered under the old tariff and 819,691,795 under the McKinley tariff. Allowing for the abnormally large imports from July 1 to October 4, 1890, for the purpose of anticipating the higher duties, the imports under the McKinley tariff are bnt little less than before it became a law. In short, the duties levied by the McKinley tariff are not high enough to accomplish the end in-tended-prohibition. How much higher they are than the old rates is shown by the following table of the ad valorem equivalents of specific and com.ponnd duties: _ Wools. Clothing. Combing. Carpet... Carpet. Woolens— Yarns. Blankets. ... Bunting... Carpets. Cloths.. Dress goods... Endless belts. Flannels. Plushes. .. Cloaks... Hats. Knit fabrics. Shawls. Clothing. Webbings, etc. All other manufactures.

x His is an increase oi over oo per cent. Under the tariff of 1883 worsted cloths were rot separated from all other wool manufactures, and the item of '‘cloths" in the above table represents woolen cloths only for 189a Under the McKinley tariff woolen and wo-sted cloths bear the same rates. Similarly, plushes were not separately enumerated in 189a On bunting1, as shown above, the ad valorem rate is less now than in 18$). The duties are, however, higher now than before, but since they sfre practically prohibitive, this fact is of little importance. A tariff averaging 92.24 per cent, just suits the large number of so-called woolen manufacturers, who are large users of shoddy extracts and cotton. Only a short time ago one of the leading manufacturers declared that all wool goods are now the exception and not the rnla. No truer or briefer statement of the effect of high and prohibitive ^duties has ever been made. The high duties on wool and woolens have made all wool goods so 'high that they are beyond the means of a large number of people As a consequence they must wear shoddy instead. It has been asserted that woolen goods have not risen in price in consequence of the McKinley tariff. IIow this can be reconciled with an increase in tbe duties of fully 33 per cent and but a slight decrease in the importations is beyond comprehension. But the McKinley tariff has been a bonanza to the manufacturers, for it enabled such mills as the Arlingtou, of which Mr. Whitman is president, to earn a profit of 50 per cent in 1891, No wonder, in view of this, that M<\ Whitman is so strenuous in his opposition to any change in the duties on his products. The present wool tariff is nothing but a legalized form of robbery. There was an old.English law which provided that every person after death should be buried in a woolen shroud, in order that the manufacture of woolens might be encouraged. More barbarous and unreasonable than that ancient law, the McKinley tariff, by its merciless taxes on woolens, discourages the wearing of them by the living. Garfield's Tariff Views. Had ex-President James A. Garfield been a member of the Fifty-first congress tbe most powerful pressure which McKinley could have brought to bear upon him would not have induced him to vote in favor of the McKinley bill. During tbe tariff debate in 1870 he declared in a speech in opposition to the high tariff then under consideration: “I stand now where I have always stood since I have been a member of this house. 1 take the liberty of quoting from the Congressional Globe of I860, the following remarks which I then made on the subject of the tariff: “*We have seen that one extreme school of economists would place the price of all manufactured articles in the hands of foreign producers by rendering it impossible for our manufacturers to compete with the m while the other extreme school, br making it impossible for the foreigner to sell his competing wares m our market, would give the people no immediate check upon the prices which our manufacturers might fix for their products. I disagree with both these extremes. I hold that a properly adjusted competition between home and foreign products is the best gauge by which to regulate the international trade. Duties should be so high that our manufacturers can fairly compete with the foreign product, but not so high as to enable, them to drive out the foreign article, enjoy the monopoly of the trade and regulate the prices as they please. This is my doctrine of protection. If congress pursues this line of policy steadily, we shall year by year, approach more nearly to the basis of free trade, because we shall be more nearly able to compote with other nations on equal terms. I am for a protection which leads to ultimate free trade.’ ” Tin 1*1«t« Prices. In an article relating to tin plato, the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette says: “As Mr. Gronemyer puts it, two years ago the duty was one cent per pound, or $1.08 per box, and a box cost $5.20 in New York. To-day the duty is 8 8-10 cents per pound, or $3.37 per box. and the price of coke tin plates in New York is $5 35 per box.” If Mr. Cronemyer says this, and the context serves to prove that he does, he deliberately misrepresents statistics with which he to suppose! to be very familiar. Two years ago the price of ooke tin plates in New York was not 85.20, but $4.50 per box, -anJ in the three following months the price fell still lower. Mr. Crouemeyer is the man who, as the secretary of the tin plate annex of the Galvanized Iron association, published a circular in which he asserted that American manufacturers could make tin plates and sell them a! a profit at a time when the price of foreign tin plate in this country was within a few cents of the lowest prioe on record, the duty then being one rent a pound. Afterwards he was a' leader of those who asked for an additional duty of one and

<4000 TALKERS. All Mar and Should Cultivate the Art of Kntnrtalniug tonver»<tlon. Many people labor under the delusion ;hat a good talker is born, not made. Thousands who possess the “gift of gab wery gallopin’ ” may not have even a primary knowledge of the . requisites that go to make up the really good talker. Still there are many who doubtless long to shine in society and elsewhere who would gladly resort to any means conducive to that end if thereby they were enabled to acquire “the art of conversation.” On this topic the general idea is hazy and confused and many regard “the art of conversation” as nothing but a natural knack and envy its fortunate possessor. This opinion is, in a great degree, erroneous, for, like the other “arts,” this can be acquired by giving to it the same careful study and preparation that you would devote to music or painting. As in everything else we cannot all shine with the same brilliancy. The first requisite is-social sympathy. You must enjoy talking and be anxious to please and interest your hearer. Above all things do not be so pleased with your own conversation that your voice is heard to the exclusion of all others, for then you become that bo-re of modern society, the talking bore. Neither get yourself up for show, and have a stock of anecdotes on hand which you have carefully , prepared beforehand and which you are determined to introduce whether the subjects are apropos or not, merely for the sake of keeping up a flow of talk. No talker is tolerable who talks foi his own benefit alone. To be a thoroughly enjoyable and brilliant conversationalist one must incite others to talk and to be able to listen appreciatively to what our own thoughts and ideas have been instrumental in bringing forth, llow many of us have witnessed a brilliantly contested argument in which each party could, with difficulty, restrain himself from interrupting his opponent, so eager was he to set forth his individual ideas for the benefit of admiring outsiders rather than to convince the other of the fallacy of his opinion. The natural gifts, such as sympathy, tact and originality of expression, all tend to render conversation charming and stamp their possessor with characteristics peculiarly his own. Yet natural gifts alone will not make a good talker if you depend solely on the material you get in the every-day society small talk. To be a really fine conversationalist one must know thoroughly a great many things. Knowledge, precise and round, is the grand fundamental principle of good talking. If any one considers this view extreme let him or hei conjure up some of the many conversations indulged in by the young men and women who frequent public conveyances and places of amusement. In regard to the inane chatter, gossip, talk about dress and the other thousand senseless sillinesses that these young people apparently enjoy there is but . one word expresses it—trashy. Just so long as material for good conversation is lacking just so long will, we be regaled by shallow and silly talk" Read only the best books and try to remember any particularly fine orstriking passage. The faculty of being able to quoto from the best authors is an enviable and happy one. Do not, however, confine yourself alone to books, for even though you had all the great poets at your tongue’s end and were behind the timSs in current matters of art, politics and religion, you will be ranked a veritable stupid. The man or woman who desires to pose as a good talker must never be caught napping concerning any topic of immediate public, interest And what reward does all this literary alertness and espionage produce? A really good talker is at a social premium. Social importance and consideration are perhaps more easily won by the power of good talking thau by any other means. If this wpre all perhaps “the game would not “be worth the candle,” but when we come to consider that the true element of our success lies in the literary store that we have laid by for the rainy day of social inac tivitv, when we perhaps will commune only with the spirit of the past, can we reckon the inestimable value of the treasure we have taken such pains to win.—Philadelphia Times. What It Costs to Itnn » Ship. It costs money to man a big ship after it is ready for sea. The first-class ships like the Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia carry about thirty officers, three hundred enlisted men, and a marine corps of from forty to0 sixty men and officers. The officers of a first-class ship of the line are the following: Captain, Lieutenant-Commander, four Lieutenants, one Junior Lieutenant, two Ensigns, nine Naval Cadets, Medical Inspector, Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon, Paymaster, Chief Engineer, Assistant Engineer, Chaplain, Captain of the Marines, gunner and carpenter. The expense of maintaining a first-class modern cruiser, pay of officers and men, coal, repairs, and general supplies is estimated at one thousand three hundred dollars per day. This is in time of peace. If fighting is to be done the expenses will of course be vastly increased. Repairs maw run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars after an engagement, while the cost of firing one broadside from a ship like the Chicago, nine hundred pounds of metal at one discharge from four guns, is about six hundred dollars. It is easy to see that^day's fighting with a fleet of such cruiiff would make a big hole in the pocketnf even as rich a magnate of the earth as our Uncle Sam. -- Chronicle- _

Jolly English Clergymen. Owing to the fact that ao many English citizens spend the summer cn the, continent, the different church of England societies detail preachers of that faith to take their own vacation on the continent, and at all the resorts the preachers conduct religious services each Sunday. 1 have met a number of these ministers or rectors, and they seem to be a very jovial set of men. In contrast to our own preachers in the United States they not only frequent the gardens and drinking-places, but they do not hesitate to sit in the smok-ing-rooms of the hotels and indulge in "grog” — Scotch whisky and water. “Why not?” said one of these preachers to me, as he sipped his grog and smoked his pipe. “We enjoy the good things of this world but do not abuse them.” They are evidently the same kind of persons that Thackeray so vividly describes in his Hovels. I observe when handed a cara by any of these preachers that they invariably give you theu? club as well as private address, and this is particularly true of London aud the outskirts. One of these preachers seemed much surprised when told that it was a rare exception in the United States for a minister of the Gospel to belong to a club.—London Times. Bow's This!
