The following letter shows the result of that trial, and is a sample of thousands of similar cases happening daily. “ 1 had been very sick for a long time; doctored with many prominent physicians.

SCIENCE AND VOLCANOES. . Causes of the Eruptions Have Not Yet Been Definitely Ascertained. It was formerly believed and that a volcano is a mountain send ng forth tire, smoke and lava, this being the sense of the definitions in geogia phies which are by no means antiquated. Modern investigations have, however, ( hanged this definition, eliminating the word mountain and adding to the list of substances ejected the very important one. steam, for steam is an active worker and can by no means be overlooked. There is an apparent reason for assuming volcanoes to be mountains, since they generally build up conical mounds of ashes and lava, retaining a central chimney for the ejection of fresh volcanic material. A volcano may be an orifice in the surface of a plain, like a geyser, although the latter are not classed with true volcanoes. They are comparatively local in theh nature, the water being heated veiy near the point of ejection, while the volcanoes have an origin for their lava at very much greater depths below the earth's surface. Then, again, the word mountain has itself received a modified definition, and even a conical peak with steam issuing from its apex may not be a mountain in the strict sense of the word. Mountain, according; to the latest authorities, is dependent upon geological structure, and not on height, and our Blue hills are as truly mountains, although their summits are but 600 feet above the sea. as the Himalayas or the Audes, with forty or fifty times the height. A mountain is no longer simply an elevation of land to 2,000 feet or more, as was formerly taught, but Is the record of a certain geological process. In his "Story of Our Planet,” Prof. T. C. Bonney devotes quite a little space to the consideration of the volcano. “That a volcano is reared practically by one architect.” he writes, “that the whole cone and the mountain proper are formed by the ejected material, is now generally admitted. But this opinion is not always favorably regarded. Before the days of Scrope and Lyell the ejected materials were generally supposed to play a subordinate part and a volcanic mountain was held to be largely due to the upheaval of the strata of the earth's crust in a conical form around the orifice. In this hypothesis obvious difficulties existed, such as understanding how the beds thus uplifted could maintain their position when Hie imprisoned vapors and lava had escaped from beneath.”— Happy Thoughts. Which Shall It Be? The Countess de Castellano, who was Miss Anna Gould, had a house party recently. and the ladies' big sleeves were being jibed at by the men The countess then announced that on the following evening they would have a dance, and that. half of the ladies would wear big sleeves and the others no sleeves. The ladies drew lots to decide which they should wear. The tollowing Or the sleeveless ladies first entered the drawing-room. As they came in, with lace and chiffon around the low necks of their bodices, showing the pretty Shoulder lines and the curves of the bust, a murmur of admiration greeted them, aud they felt comforted. But when the full sleeves appeared the waists looked so small and the heads so well ix>ised between the big. wing like sleeves, that the men were divided.

The result was that no decision was arrived at. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of permanently beneficial effects and were satisfied with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently cure habitual constipation, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system.

It is the most penetrating way for chili to set in. Sudden warmth, sudden chill, and severe colds. Girls and boys skating, driving for pleasure or business, and men at work afield know the difference in temperature. Yet the youngsters skate away and with mouth open laughing take in a dose of sore throat. Drivers and workmen throw aside wraps and all know the next day fr^m soreness and stiffness what sudden chill means. Now the best thing to do when housed is to rub well at once with ! St. Jacobs Oil.

LIKE A LIGHTNING FLASK. ( Mr. Jone* Could Not Move Hand or 1 Foot. I From the Kerrs, Union Mills. Indiana. I Mr. N. W. Jones, a rehnd beo n Cltlzen of Willow Springs, 111., 1 r KnfTnr restored to health after months । LnmnJ" 1 * with th(lt dr eaded disease, a rp porter of the News was I . to investigate, and in reply to an inquiry concerning his illness and cure 1 Mr. Jones cheerfully made the following statement: three years ago, while running n St otT. R um P for a railway company, I was artacked with a severe spell of rheumatism and became so badly afflicted that : .., a i? nR ,lui e I was unable to move even with the aid of c rutches. A local physician whom I called in gave me such help that alter being assisted from bed, 1 could walk around the house by having two canes to lean upon. "I continued in this manner all winter thinking that when warm weather came 4 would be better. I was somewhat better in the spring and returned to my work, but one day I became very much heated and took a severe cold which brought back the old disease with renewed vigor. “Sharp pains would start in one limb and run all over my body like a flash of lightning. When 1 tried to move the pains would seize me and I could not move hand or foot, and suffered all the tortures of the damned. “I triJt/he magneto-electric treatment for sexSP^mouths, using the battery a nuinhdj ^tnies each day. This treatment, wroever, had but little effect on my malady; my general health began to fail and I was told that the only hopes of prolonged life was to seek a different climate, and unless this was done I could not live another year. “About, this time I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by reading a testimonial of one who appeared to be similarly affected and was being greatly benefited by their use. I did not dare think of being cured, but hoped to gain strength that 1 might get to a Southern clime, which appeared to be my only salvation. “I took one* box and felt such a decided improvement, that 1 sent for three more boxes, and before they were used 1 was a well man and able to resume my work. Had I known of their virtues before I might have saved more* than a year of suffering and several hundred dollars besides. I feel that for rheumatism they cannot be recommended too highly.” (Signed) N. W. JONES. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 28th dav of September. 1895. F. N. SMITH. (Seal.) Notary Public.
