CURE C©H5TIPATI0M DRUGGI5J5 SURPRISED HIS PHYSICIAN. From the Courier-Journal, Louisville, A'y. "Yes, "toy name is A. J, Nicholson, and my sddress is the Bull Block, Louisville, Ky., and I am the man you have heard of Hb so persistently and so enthusiastical­ ly proclaiming the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. , "Up to the first of last March I can truthfully say that for twenty years I ha 1 suffered all the agonies of an inferno, and death would have at times been a welcome visitor. I had muscular rheuma­ tism in its most vicious form, supplement­ ed by what the doctors called tuberculosis of the bones. 1 was aimost constantly under the treatment of a physician and spent a Considerable portion of my time in the hospital. In 1S93 I spent three months in that institution where I under­ went severe surgical operations for relief. Almost all the money I could raise from whatever source went for medicines in one way or another. I •could tey any and every remedy that was suggested, but I finally concluded that the doctors were right in saying there was no cure for such a case as mine. My right leg became rigid and stiff, the joints refusing to per­ form their functions in any degree. At length the pains attacked my left leg also, and it was fast becoming as bad as the other. I also suffered in the shoul­ ders and arms, though not-so badly as in the lower limbs. "About the first of March last, I read an article on Pink Pills, and while very dubious as to the r6sult, 1 concluded to give them a trial. I used one box without deriving any benefits, as I could see. and was about to abandon them when, at the Urgent solicitation of my wife, .1 concluded to try one more, box anyhow. Before .the second box was used up. I thought I could experience some slight improvement in my condition. Like a drowning man I speedily grasped at that one straw of hope. T ordered other boxes and contin­ ued the .systematic Use of the pills as. directed, my improvement, firoifi the.be­ ginning of the third box. beingmost mark­ ed and rapid. The rigidity and stiffness soon began to disappear from my leg,, the excruciating pains became gradually less, my drooping spirits revived under the ex­ hilarating prospect of gettinc well, and before a great while I was able to KO to work. I have not yet discontinued the pills. I have just ordered the sixth box, which 1 think will be Ihe'lrst." I feel that I owe my life to this extraordinary prep­ aration. for 1 don't see how 1 could have lived under the almost incessant torture I was enduring. It is not strange, under the' circumstances, that I should lose no opportunity to tell my friends about this remedy and to urge upon all afflicted as I was to give it a t¥iai. (Signed) "A.J.

An Ohio manufacturing concern, which has been experimenting with profit-sharing plans fo" eleven years, has finally evolved a plan radically dif­ ferent from profit sharing and more like a permanent wage increase, with a provision for withholding the in­ crease from the more negligent work­ men. At first the commonly talked of plan of dividing a certain portion of the profits among the workmen was fried, each employe sharing according to his earnings. The first dividend to em­ ployes was declared at the end of six months, and was at the rate of 13.47 per cent on the wages paid. One work­ man recoived $2751 dividend. But it was found the men did not take much interest in this plan, so it was modified and the men were arbitrarily classified according to the interest they were un­ derstood to show in their work and their efficiency, the most active, receiv­ ing a larger.share than tlio others, and all dividends being'withheld from those who were noticeably careless. The money so withheld did Jjot go to the firm, but was added to the part allotted to the workmen and divided among them. Then the firm became a corpora­ tion, and the plan was changed. The average amount paid had been a 12 per cent dividend, so it was decided to pay a uniform rate of 12 per cent on wages, the right to withhold dividends for neglect being retained. Employes are helped to buy stock if they wish. Employers and employes are said fo be satisfied with this arrangement.--New York Tribune. JLBQUlatp THE UVEJi The Cyclist's Necessity.

The long, lithe fingers of the girl's1 right hand were clasped convulsively round the hand of the motionless figure extended on the bed. "Joe!" she moaned; "Joe, lad, ye've" got yer wish.
