Reinai-kableExpei-ience ofaWell- Known Sea Captain- 'C'mlain James McKay Tells His Story or Suffering and Releaseâ€"Ills Recovery Was Despalred of and He Longcd for Deathâ€"“ The Darkest flour is Just Be- fore the Dawn." and With it Came a Bay of nopeâ€"Health, and Slrcnglh , Again Restored. Drum the chmouth, N.S., Free Press. ‘I Probably one of the best known men in Eighy County, N.S., is Captain James Mc- VKay, of Tiverton. The Captain is known among ship owners as a first-class mariner and pilot, has been chiefly engaged in the West Indies trade, and has been very for- tunate with the vessels under his charge. Some three years ago, Captain McKay had a very severe attack of la grippe, which gradually developed into more serious trou- bles, until his life was despaired of. It was with deep regret that his employers and lfriends saw him sinking gradually under a , terrible disease, until his death seemed only ,a question of a few weeks. At this time, physicians could do nothing for him, he was {induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,and i by that wonderful medicine was restored to health and strength. Captain McKay’s al- I most miraculous recovery created no little ; amazement, and so much interest was mani- . festcd in it, both in his own village and in I the adjacent places where he is so well ,known, that The Free Press thought the = matter of sufficient importance to the pub- lic, to get a statement of the facts from : Captain McKay, and accordingly detailed a reporter to interview him with that end in View, when the following facts came into “ his possession : : “ I have board,” said the reporter, “that {your recovery was wonderful, and was , brought about entirely by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Would you let me ,have the particulars of your illness and res- : toration to health '2” “Certainly,” replied Capt. McKay. “I have told the story a hundred times already, Ibut as the truth never wears out, once more won’t hurt, and besides I always think I may be aiding some person who is now :suffering as I suffered, and giving them a ,clean bill of health. To begin at the begin- , ning, I had la grippe about three years ago 18nd that tied me up pretty well. I wasn’t { fit to take charge of a ship, so sailed south '. as far as Milk River, Jamaica, as nurse and ,l’companion for an invalid gentleman. The 1 weather at that season was simply melting " and I used to lie on the deck at night, and in my weakened condition got some sort of -fever. “Then I reached home I was com- , pletely used up and continued to get worse {until I could hardly move ii. at. At times 5my limbs would become numb with a tingl- iing sensation, as though a thousand needles ,were being stuck into me. Then my eye- ; sight began to fail. It was difficult for me ,to distinguish persons ata distance. My face became swollen and drawn, and my eyes almost closed. At times my flesh gwould assume a greyish color and remain for days in that state, being at the same time cold and death like.” “Could the doctors do nothing for you?” [enquired the reporter. . “Seemingly not. They gave advice, sent a medicine, and rendered their bills prompt- 'ly, so that I think they derived the most ; benefit, for under their treatment I did not ) improve a bit. At last I got so bad that I jlost all ambition, I suffered terribly, was , only a burden to my friends, and actually llonged for death, which all thought was l soon in store for me. But the darkest hour , is just before the dawn. I had become so . bad that I hardly cared how soon I slipped 2' my cable, for I was now almost completely :paralyzed, but at this time the statement j ofa man down in Cape Breton, whose case fhad been somewhat similar to mine, came Ito my notice. He attributed his cure to Dr. Vv‘illiams’Pink Pills, and I thought that 1there might be a chance for me, though I ’confess I had at that time but very litt‘e faith in any medicine. To make a long story short I began the use ofDr. Williams’ Pink Pills and soon found that they were helping me, and their continued use soon put me on my feet again, and I went to work after months of enforced idleness, to the great astonishmen of my acquaintances, I who never expected to see me around 7 again. Since'that time I have recommend- ’ ed Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to several per- ‘ sons who have used them with good results, and I feel it my duty to advise their use by people who are run down or suffer from the effects of any chronic ailment. I believe they saved my life, and you may be sure I am grateful.” ‘ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are manufactured by the Dr. \Villiams’ Medicine 00., of Brockville, Ont., and Schenectady, N.Y.. a firm of unquestioned reliability. Pink Pills are not locked on as a patent medicine but rather as a prescrip- tion. An analysis of their properties shows that these pills’ are an unfailing specific from all diseases arising from an impover- ished condition of the blood, or from an impairment of the nervous system, such as loss of appetite, depression of spirits, an- aemia, chlorosis or green sickness, general weakness, dizziness, loss of_memory, loco- . motor ataxia, paralysis, sciatica, rheuma- v tism, St. Vitus’ dance, the after effects of la ‘ grippe, all diseases depending upon a vitiat~ ' ed condition of the blood, such as scrofula, They are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to the feâ€" male system, correcting irregularities, sup- " pressious and all forms of female weakness, building anew the blood and restoring the low of health to pale and sallow cheeks. n the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of any nature. These ' pills are not a purgative medicine. They contain only life-giving properties, and nothing that could injure the most delicate system. They act directly on the blood supplying its life-giving qualities, by assist- ing it to absorb oxygen, that great support- er of all organic life. In this way, the blood becoming “built up,” and being sup- plied with its lacking constituents, becomes rich and red, nourishes the various organs, stimulating them to activity in the perform- ance of their functions and thus eliminate ; diseases from the system. Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark and wrapper, (printed in red ink). Bear.in mind that Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hun- dred, and any dealer who offers substitutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. The public are also cautioned against all other so-called blood builders and nerve tonics. They are im- itations, whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary advantage from the wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and refuse all im- itations and substitutes. Dr. TVilliams’ Pink Pills may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company from either address, at 50 cents a box, or six for $2.50. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment comparatively inex- pensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. BULLETS FIRED BY GAS Gain That Makes Little Noise and No Smoke Tried in England. The Gifford gun, whith was tried recently at Nottingham by a board of English army officers, seems likely to be the first un which uses any other propelling agent t 13.1] powder to attain anything like a practical success. The propelling agent of M. Paul Gifl’ard’s rifle is liquefied carbonic acid gas. The gun itself is not new, nor is the principle upon which it is constructed. M. Gill'ard has had a gun before the public for more than three years, but since that time he has made several improvements and consider- ably modificd it in detail. The propelling agent which he uses makes \ery little noise and no smoke and leaves no odor. Only a very slight recoil follows the discharge and the gun does not foul. The propelling agent is always completely under the control of the person handling the gun. In appearance the Giffard gun is something like 9. Winchester shotgun. It is an ordi- nary octagon barrel, underneath which is fitted a Giffard reservoir as the magazine is called. The reservoir is a steel cylin’der closed at one end and fitted at the other end with a valve. The reservoir contains a sup- ply of liquefied carbonic acid gas at a pressure of two tons to the square inch, sufficient for from forty to sixty rounds, according as the gun is to be used at along or short range. These reservoirs are tested in the manufacture up to three times the strength necessary to hold the gas under pressure, and are guaranteed to be perfectly sound and safe. The special valve atZ-the end of the reservoir is so contrived that at each pull of the trigger the regulated quantity of gas enters the bullet chambch The rifle is of the hammerless type and is neat in appearance and handy in form. All the parts are interchangeable and can be replaced. Such a safety catch is used as is ordinarily fitted on hammerlcss shotguns. The throwing forward of the lever, which serves also as the trigger-guard, opens the bullet chamber for the insertion of the bul- let, which is conical shaped. It also cocks the gun and moves the counter which re- cords the number of charges fired. The same action places the gun at “ safe.” By re- turning the lever to its position the bullet chamber is closed. A movement releases the safety catch. When the trigger is pulledthe tumbler strikes the firing pin, which presses against the valve of the reservoir, opening it mo- mentarily. This permits the regulated quantity of gas to escape into the chamber, where it instantly expands, forcing the projectile through the barrel with increas- ing impetus until it leaves the muzzle. The charged reservoir may be kept for any time, under any conditions of climate, without suffering deterioration or waste. The provision for informing the users as to the number of charges fired is a rotating dial, on which an indicator marks at every tenth round the number of charges remain- ing. The rifle is especially adapted for light shooting, and will kill at sixty yards. Its work is accurate,and it gives good penetra- tion. Bullets fired through one-inch boards were flattened on the iron sheeting behind the target.â€"[New York Sun. .â€"â€"â€"-â€".¢â€"H.â€". Look Here. Do you feel blue and despondent?

Much of the valley is far below the level of the sea, and so hot and dry is it that birds flying over are said tolfall dead I on the alkali. It is not very wide but no man can cross the flaming desert when the sun is high. Yet some animals live on it. These are all small and peculiar. There are rats and'mice that look like kangaroos seen through the small and of an opera glass. They liave'tho disproportionate hind legs of the kangaroo, the over-developed tail i’. and the feeble front paws. Their manner of progression is that of the Australian beast. They sit upon their strong hind legs and when they move they go by great leaps. Prospectors first brought the stories of kangaroo rats from the desert, but they were thought to be mythical until the United States Government sent its scientists into the country a couple of years ago. They saw the jumping things and brought out many specimens. The wandering scien- tist found that while the rodents difl'ered from common rats and mice in length of limb and strength of tail, their habits were still those of house vermin. They gnawed the tents and provision sacks, raised havoc with the flour and were generally a nuis- ance around cafap. The scientists had the fun of watchi coyotes chase the uncanny jumping ra -‘ which, however, were usual- ly too spry to be caught.â€"[San Francisco Examiner. Nothing Hunts out Corns Like tight boots.

Although lightning and thunder occur always simultaneously, an interval “of shorter or longer duration is usually observ- ed between these two phenomena, which is due to the fact that sound travels only at the rate of 1.100 feet per second, while the passage of lightis almost instantaneous. Based upon this fact it is an easy matter to tell at least approximately how many miles a thunderstorm is away. A normal pulse will beat about one stroke to the second, and. by counting the pulse- beats during the intervals of the lightning and the thunder the lapse of seconds is ar- rived at, and consequently the number of feet, which can be reduced to miles. Forcx- ample: If thirty seconds elapse between the flash of the lightning and the crash of thunder the storm center is at a distance of 33,000 feet, or about six and a half miles. An almost accurate calculation can be made with using a watch with a minute dial. A.
