A HAPPY WIFE. SHE RELATES TO A REPORTER THE SECRET OF HER JOY. for Many Months She Was Sad and Worried Because of Illness—She Gives Thanks for the Discovery to A* hich She Attributes Her Present Good Health. From the Chronicle., Chicago, 111. Eleven years ago there came to Chicago from Toledo, Ohio, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Sanders. They had been hard working and industrious people, but had met with serious trouble. Mr. Sanders was a blacksmith, but was obliged to give up his work at the forge owing to the loss of an eye, from a spark, from the anvil. Mrs. Sanders, like many another woman, became broken down in health by hard work. She was a seamstress, and', careless* of her health, sewed early and late. The confinement and the stooping incident to such work broke down her health, and it was thought she was going into quick consumption. Instead, she developed a violent case of typhoid fever, to which, by the way, any one’is'liable whose system is run down and whose vitality is, depleted. This confined her not only to the house, but to her bed as well. When she finally rallied, it was to find herself so weak and debilitated that for six long months'she ^■taM^nrely aKe to crawl about, and her ^^^^^^^®»^^dnot restore her strength. ^^^^^^^^^eleton, could not e ex-

„ BHr * " ^.^gn^Maithful attention. patient m not ovlt of danger until the strength and appetite return. Mrs. Sanders, however, became con- _ vinced that her physicians were not helping her to mend, and sought other means. She came to the conclusion that a preparation which would enrich the blood would build up her health. She accordi«gly made use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, now extensively used as a blood purifier. The effects were satisfactory. They were more than that, they were wonderful. She began to mend almost at once; her pains decreased, her strength and weight and appetite came back, and she became robust. To any one suffering from the effects of overwork or i worry, or from a debilitated state of the system, from whatever cause, this article will be of interest, and these pills a welcomeremedy. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders live at 1155 Lincoln avenue. Chicago, and to prove the accuracy of the statement and her honesty of purpose, she swore to the facts as below: (Signed) “MRS. S. T. SANDERS.” Sworn so and subscribed before me this fifth day of October. A. F. PORTMAN. Notary Public. Di. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They i are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus^ance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, al' forms of weikness, either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be eenr postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents i a box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are i never sold in bulk or by the 100) by ad- | dressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y'. We often pray for faith to remove I mountains, when what we need is light to see that they should remain right where they are. Coughing Leads to Consumption. Kemp's Balsam will stop the cough at once. Go to your druggist to-day and get a sample bottle free. Sold in 25 and 50 cent bottles. Go at once; delays are dangerous. The Wearing of Clothes. The dress of the thoroughbred man or wonuin may or may not betray its cost. Its attraction is that it has an Indefinable look of simple and distinguished elegance. Every article of dress looks as though selected by one who “knows how” —by a person who is familiar with the world's products and has chosen the best for her purpose, whether it be tweeds or velvets, “picture hat” or Glengarry. An easy refinement shows Itself in leather gloves ns well as in those of softer kid, and a thick walking boot indicates taste as thoroughly as a Louis XV. slipper. WOMAN’S STRUGGLE. ♦ All women work.

SURGERY CENTURIES AGO. The Methode of To-day Are Merely Rediscoveries. Modern science is robbed of the credit of several of its most boasted discoveries by the revelations made in the writings of a learned Indian princePrince Thakore. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and holds several honorary degrees. His plea for the recognition of early Hindoo science is such a departure from the ordinary and his authority is so well founded that it makes an interesting bit of reading. The Hindus, the Prince claims, practiced vaccination, anaesthesia, antiseptic surgery and other branches of modern medicine many centuries ago. They used precisely the same methods of making diagnoses which the physician of to-day employs. Percussion and auscultation, examination of the eye, the skin and the pulse were the same then as now. “Put out your tongue.” was the order of the Hindu doctor 2.000 years ago, just as it is to-day. The understanding of the quality of the pulse beat was just as skillful. The pulse that goes with delirium was described as like the running of a partridge, while the very faint, irregular Hl^Janguid pulse beat was interpreted J., TJ n S death. unno .u#T’"”‘ a n " n the ।

’ -mis are recorded. It is related of King Bhoja of DHar, who lived about A. D. 977, that he was operated upon for severe pains in the head. After being rendered insensible by some form of drug, he was trephined, the cause of the trouble was removed from the brain, and the wound closed up. The operation was completely successful and a radical cure was effected. Similar operations arc recorded of Jivaka, who was Buddha’s physician. There is abundant account of ancient knowledge of hydro-thera-I peuties, dietetics, climatology, massage, hypnotism, vaccination for smallpox, and certain modern theories in gynecology. The evidence that Prince Tha kore adduces in proof of his assertions seems conclusive that the Hindus of 2,000 years ago possess; d a mu h higher medical knowledge than modern civil ization enjoyed within half a century. A Mother's Pates and Claim . In an article deprecating the tendency of mothers of the present day to escape the care and res[>onsibility of training their children, Edward W. Bok. in the Ladies' Home .Journal, emphasizes the distinction between a mother's duties and the claims upon her time: “♦ * * When a woman is given the sweeten: delight that can come to her, motherI hood, God gives with that delight a ‘ duty; the duty of a personal training oi ; the child, Before that duty, ail outside I work I care not by what religious, j charitable or philanthropic word yon . may call it should fall. No mattei what outside work a woman may l i engaged in, the best can only be a claim upon her time, and not a duty. And duties never conflict. God gives no more duties to a woman than she has the time or ability to fulfill. The I exactions of the world are not duties: they are claims. If there is time it Is well to meet them. But claims being man-made and duties being God-made the former must often be ignored and should be put aside where the latter calls. Women should think of this and bear it in mind a little more constantly than they do. especially in these days of organizations.” European Study for Vocalists. “For the average singer America offers most excellent teachers; she can find all she needs at home,” writes . Madame Melba in an article on “The I Vocal Student” in the Ladies’ Home . Journal. “For operatic singers some foreign training is practically neces- , sary so long as impresarios consider Europe their market, and retired artists make it their home. * * * But no girl,” she adds, “unless she has money to throw away—l mean by this a large fortune to spend -should go abroad for vocal instruction until she has been passed upon, musically, by it least two or three artists—people who value the glory and fair name of their art. ami the life, and perhaps the honor of the would-be singer too highly to advise her to enter upon a career of privation and hardship where there is sot her, by Nature's fixed decree, no possivof success. If possible, these artnot l>e moved nor

swayed by any personal interest, and will, therefore, speak only truth. But only those so passed upon, and those others who can afford to indulge a hobby. should ever go abroad for instruction.” Song of May. In Sweden a pretty custom is prevalent on the first of May. At 12 o'clock at night on the 30th of April a band of young people in every town and village begin visiting each house in the neighborhood, singing the “Song of May” until each resident gives them either money or food for the benefit of the May Ball which takes place two days later, its expenses being entirely paid by the proceeds of this midnight singing. Over each door the party leaves a branch of red or white may to bring luck to the household during the coming year. Only a I’artial Success. “Sorry to hear you are troubled by sleeplessness. Ever try eating a large raw onion just before going to bed?” “Yes. Tried it last night. Kept everybody in the house awake the whole ■ night long except me.” In Germany a prisoner is acquitted on a tie vote by jury. A vote of 7 to 5 leaves the decision with the court, while % vote of 8 to 4 means conviction.

CHARLES H. BELL. The Busy Chairman of the McKinley Inanguration Committee. Charles 11. Bell, the chairman of the General McKinley Inauguration Committee, is not so well known in political as he is in financial circles. His name suggests the telephone and appropriately, for Chairman Bell is a cousin of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor. Charles H. Bell was iu fact the man who organized the telephone service in England and opened all the exchanges in that country. k -/ ' / CHARLES H. BELL. 1 Uis father, Dayt » of

'The - chairman oft the Inauguration Committee was educated in the Irish capital, and In 1873 immigrated to Canada and studied banking with the Imperial Bank at Toronto. It was in 1880 that he went abroad in the telephone interest, and having safely launched the big enterprise in England, he returned to the United States to engage in the banking business. At present Mr. Bell is the president of the American Security Trust Company. He is one of the leading citizens of Washington, and it is in this capacity that he Is connected with the management of th* inauguration of the new President. pVLS^Sfth' Reckless Bankinf? Methods.

It appears that the directors of the Illinois National Bank of Chicago d.d not know anything about the business of th# । bank except what the officers chose to te>U them — Ixiuisville Commercial. The managers of the Chicago bank appear to have been governed by the morals of the highwayman. They used and abused the bank to further schemes of spoliation. Memphis Commercial-Appeal. It is now in evidence that the directors of the National Bank of Illinois sue ceded for some time iu covering up the unsafe nature of a portion of their loans from the scrutiny of the examiner. — Rocky Mountain News. The further investigation in the matter of the failure of the National Bank of Illinois is pushed the more it becomes evident that tlie institution was managed by officials who are little, if any. better than common thieves. —Peoria Journal. Unhappily some of the Illinois National's irregularities seem to have evaded the bank examiner at the time of his inspection of its accounts, which raises a suspicion that bank examinations do not always examine.- St. Ijouis Globe-Dem- ! ocrat. The history of how the National Bank of Illinois in Chicago was wrecked, as narrated by a friend of A ice President Hammond, recalls the days when tne black flag, with its skull and crossbones, was floating free in the winds of the Spanish main.—New York Journal. For twenty years hardly one bank has ’ disastrously failed without flagrant and long-continued misconduct on the ^art of t its officers which even a tolerably honest > and alert supervision would have discovered and arrested in time to avert the catastrophe. —New York World.

But Spain cannot complain that he has not given her a great many victories for her money. —Washington Star. Gen. Weyler has gone to the front with a good descriptive writer and a telegraph operator, and we may expect to have the battles of our war of secession served over in embroidered Spanish—Memphig Commercial-Appeal.
