‘0' -gu mm ' N YOUR CATARACT. sâ€"â€"- llow the Obstruction to the Sight Grows and lay he Wslclud Cataract is said to be due to the gradual disposition of oxalate of lime in the sub- stance of the crystalline lens, a: first in small spots or streaks, sometimes in one part and sometimes in another. The -de- .. posit gradually increases until it penetrates the whole of the lens, causing blindness. The remedy, then, is to remove the lens, and after its removal the patient needs a substitute in the form of highly magnifying spectacles. All that is necessary to enable a patient to see his own cataract for himself is a piece of card and a needleâ€"a visiting card will do very well. Pierce a clean round hole near the middle of the card and hold the card up to the light close to the eye, looking preferablyin the direction at. piece of blue city. With the card near to the eye the patient will not see the small hole pierced y the needle, but he will see a camper- atively large faintly-illuminated field with his cataract projected upon it. Heis, in fact, observing the shadow cast by his cataract on the retina at the back of his eye. Witha small puncture in the card the shadow so thrown is comparatively sharp. But witnanormal eye an evenly illuminated field or clean disc will be seen. The patient may thus map down his own cataract, and settle for himself whether it is extending and whether he will have an operation or not. AN AWFUL END. A Spanlsh null Fighter's Tcrrlblc [Pate-â€" Goredl to Death By a Slad null 'A terrible affair at Madrid on Saturday is described by the Standards correspond- ent. The bull-ring performances were in full swing; one bull killed four horses, and showed much fierccness when the bander- illeros fixed their darts on his neck. Six- teen thousand spectators anxiously watched the celebrated matador, Manual Gracia Espartero, a fine handsome man of 28 years, as he approached the hull with his usual daring, and was knocked down. Recover- ing his feet, he attacked the bull again close to a dead horse, which prevented Ispartero from taking proper precautions as he plunged his Toledo blade up to the hilt tn the shoulder of the animal, which, though dying, caught, tossed, and gored the bullvfighter. The unfortunate Espartero was carefully raised, bleeding profusely from a ghastly wound in the stomach. His hands were clenched, his features rigid, and his groans were dreadful. On arriving at the infirmary attached to the bull-ring Espartero was speechless, and the doctor pronounced his wound mortal. Priests promptly administered extreme unction in the presence of many gorgeously attired bull fighters,.all kneeling bareheaded and deeply moved. Before he expired Espartero murmured the name of 'his sweetheart, whom he was to have married shortly, and who lives in Seville with the aged mother of the deceased bull-fighter. lie and the bull died at the same instant. After the death of Espartero, notwithstanding the intense excitement among the public, the corrida was continued. The bulls showed much fight, killed 15 horses, and knocked down and severely bruised two other bull- fighters. The incident has occasioned little less excitement than the death of a Cabinet Minister, for Espartero was well-known throughout the whole of Spain as a toreador. Espartero was only 14 when he showed a decided vocation for the calling, in which he became a banderillero at 17, and a mat- ador at ‘10, he had made a large fortune, a‘nd contemplated retiring next year. $75,000. Five Lucky nobokcnltcs. There is not a happier quintet in the prosperous city of Hoboken,it is safe to say, than the five lucky men upon whom the fickle goddess bestowed the first prize of $75,000 in the April drawing of the hon- duras National Lottery Co. (Louisiana State Lottery 00.), now at Puerto Cortez, Hon- duras, C. A. It was last fall when Mr. Oscar Hanger,a newsdealer, who resides at No. 704 Garden street, Hoboken, induced four friends to join him in purchasing a lottery ticket. lash of the men paid one dollar, and as the drawing took place monthly, the men con- tinued purchasing a $5 ticket, until in the April drawing the lucky number 72,121, won the $75,000 prize, the number held by the lucky Hobokonites. The news of the happy occurrence spread rapidly, and shortly after our reporter visit- ed the lucky winners, who are. mostly Ger- mans, to get an interviewin respect to their plans. Oscar Hanger was first seen. He lives in amodest little house, N o. 704 Garden street, Hoboken. “ Well,” Mr. Hanger said, who is a man of about forty-eight years of age, “ I guess I can make good use of the money. I have made a good living as newsdealer for the last twenty-five years and I do not intend to give u my business altogether. The money I s all invest in real estate. I think it safest nowadays." John R. Henchy, the second participant in the $75,000 prize, is one of the proprie- tors of the Hoboken Evening News, a very active and pros crous newspaper. The reporter ound him in his cosy little residence, No 1007 Bloomfield street. "I am quite a young man et,”said Mnflenchy, who is about thirty- ve years of age. “and I think this is a chance to be used to the best advantage. The Lottery Com ny paid the money promptly and wi out making any deductions. In fact, I have not come to any conclusions yet how to invest the money. I will certainly work :ldogg for the News as if .I had never play- The other parties interested are Albert Kieoelbaoh, a barber, residing at No. 50I Washington street ; Hart Matthews, a compositor on the Evening on, and Mr. Louis Piscr, of SI Willow avenue. The money has been divided, each of the parties receiving $15,000” his share. They are all industrious, sober men. and no doubt the possession of so large an amount of money will uotbo of any danger to them.â€" (h'ew “*4- “watch. m .as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, 8m. FROM SUFFERING TO HEALTH. The Experience of a Well-Known Bruce Country Farmer. lie Tells the Story of the Dlsease That Amlctcd Ella. the Suflertags lie En- dured and how he Found Releaseâ€" omer Surferers nay Take nope From Bis Release. From The Teeswater News Of all the ills that fleshis heir to perhaps none causes the sufferer keener anguish, and few are more persistent and more diffi- cult to eradicate from the system than that nervous disease known as sciatica' The victim of an aggravated form of this malady sufl'ers beyond the power of words to ex- press and it is with the utmost reluctance that the disorder yields to any course of treatment intended for its cure. Hearing that a rather remarkable cure had been effected in the case of M r. William Baptist. a respected resident of the township of Culross, a News reporter called upon that gentleman to ascertain facts. Mr. Baptist is an intelligent and well-to-do farmer. He is well known in the section in which he resides and is looked upon as a man of unimpeacha‘ole integrity. He is in the prime of life, and his present appearance does not indicate that he had at one time bash at great sufferer. He received the News representative with the utmost cor- diality, and cheerfully told the story of his restoration to health, remarking that he felt it a duty to do so in order that others afflicted as he had been might find relief. Up to the fall of 1892 he had been a healthy man, but at that time while har- vesting the turnip crop during a spell of wet, cold and disagreeable weather, he was attacked by sciatica. Only those who have passed through a similar experience can tell what he suffered. He says it was something terrible. The pain was almost unendurable and would at times cause the perspiration to ooze from every pore. Sleep forsook his eyelids. , His days were days of anguish and night brought no relief. Reputable physi- cians were consulted without any appreciâ€" able bonefit. Remedies of various kinds were resorted to and his condition was worse thap before. The limb affected began to decrease in size, the flesh appeared to be parting from the bone, and the leg assumed a withered aspect. Its power of sensation grew less and less. It appeared as a dead thing and as it grew more and more hel . loss it is little wonder that the hope of recovery negan to fade away. All through the long winter he continued to suffer, and towardsspring was prevailed upon to try Dr. Williams' Pink Bills. He commenced using them and soon felt that they were doing him good and hope began to revive. By the time he had taken three boxes the pain was eased and the diseased limb began to assume a natural condition. He continu- ed the use of the remedy until he had taken twelve boxes. In course of time he was able to resume work and 10-day feels that he is completely cured. He has since recom- mended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to others with good results. . » An analysis shows that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from "an impoverished condition of the blood, or from an impairment of the y I l nervous system, such as loss of appetite,, depression of spirits, anaemia, chlorosis or green sickness, general muscular weakness, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, sciatica rheu- matism, St. Vitus’ dance, the after eli'ects of la grippe, and all diseases depending upon a. vitiated condition of the blood, such They are also a specific for the troubles pecu- liar to the female system, building snow the blood and restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are manufactur- ed by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Brockville Ont., and Schenectady,N. Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all dealers or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company at either address.

" I Have Had Rheumatism for years, and Nerviline is the only remedy that has done me any good.” So writes Thomas McGlashan, North Pel~ ham, July 2|, 1899, and his testimony is supported by thousands of others who have experienced the wonderfully penetrating and pain subduing power of Nervilineâ€" the great nerve pain cure. Nerviline is just as good to take as to rub on, and is the best family remedy in the world. Nerviline is sold by dealers every where. If young men must sow wild oats. why not young women?

Sons Banking Company of St. Louis, with a capital stock of $100, at $1 a share. The officers at present are : Mr. W. C. Lindsey, Sr., President; Mr Louis E. Lindsey. Vice-President, aged 6g years: Mr. Robert T. Lindsey, cashier agedSyear-s; Richard W. Lindsey, aged 5 years; Everett L. Amos, aged 4 years, and W. C. Lindsey. Jr., aged 1 year. It was decided to capitalize the bank at $100 and issue 100 shares at $1 each, and to pay something each week on the shares, any amount from 1 cent up being received and the proper credit given.- As fast as these shares are aid up certificates are issued, signed by the President and cashier. The bank was originated to induce the children tosave money, and has become so opular that after fifty~one shares were re- served for the- family and forty-nine dis- posed of, there were calls for forty more shares. At the next meeting the Board will consider the advisability of increasing the capital stock to $500, when they will robs.ny invest in. real estate. At present the bank is making loans in small amounts at the rate of 5 per cent. a month, and now holds 847 of paper at the above rate. They have set their mark at $100 per share, and confidently expect to make each share worth that amount by the time the cashier attains his majorityu Among the stock- holders are residents of Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The bank paper is out in good style, and there is a bank safe. Nothing Stands as High, as a remedy for every womanly ailment, as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Here is the proof.
