Ware, the well-knowji Boston auctioneer and appraiser? at 235 Washington street, one night about six years ago. The interviewer sought out Mr. Ware to get the facts. He gave the interesting particulars in his own way. . "The first shock came very suddenly while I was aslepp, but it was not lasting in its effects, and in a few weeks I was able to be about. A, few months after, when exhausted by work and drenched' with rain, I went home in a very nervous state. The result was a second and more severe shock, after which my left arm and leg were practically helpless. "My grandfather, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. died finally of paralysis. M.y father difjl* a^lso of par­ alysis, ("complicated with ofhcr troubles, and so I had some knowledge of the fatal character of the disease which is hereditary in our family. After the sec­ ond shockI- took warning", for, in all probability, a third would carry me off. v "Almost everything under the sun was recommended to me and I tried all the remedies that seemed likely to do any good, but to no effect. : "The only thing f found that helped me was Dr- "Williams' Pink Pills', and 1 verily believe that if it hadn't been for those pills Iwould have been dead/years ago. ; "̂Yes-, I still have a slight reminder of the last attack six years, ago. My left arm is not. as strong as the other and Uiy left foot drags a little, as the paralysis had the effect of deadening the nerve's. But I tad . still walk a good distance, talk, as easily as ever, and my general health is splendid'. I am over seventy years old, although I am generally taken to be twenty years younger. : - ° • • Y "The Pink Pills keep my blood in good condition and, I believe that, is why I am. so well, although cheerfulness jnay help. "I haTe thought of it a great many times, and I honestly believe that the Pink Pills have saved my life." Mr. Ware has every appearance of a perfectly healthy man, and arrives at his office promptly at 8 o'clock every morning, although he has reached an age when many men retire from active life. His ex­ perience is well known to a great many people in Boston, where his constant cheerfulness has woi^Jlim hosts o,f friends. He thinks that both his father and his grandfather could have been saved if Pink Pills had been obtainable at that time. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to tiie blood and re­ store shattered nerves. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at oOc per box, or six boxes for $2.50. Scenting the Body. _ This is how an Arab lady perfumes herself: In the tioor of the* tent or hut, as it may chance to be, a small hole is excavated, sufficiently large to contain a common champagne bottle. A fire of charcoal, or of simply glowing embers, is made within the hole, into which the woman about to be scented throws a handful of drugs. She then takes off the cloth or "topa," which forms her dress, and crouches over the fumes, while she arranges her robe to fall as a mantle from her neck to the ground, like a tent. She now begins to perspire freely in the hot-air bath, and the pores of the skin being thus opened and moist the volatile oil from the smoke of the burn­ ing perfumes is immediately absorbed. By the time the lire has expired the scenting process is completed, and both her person and robo are redolent with incense, with which they are so thor­ oughly Impregnated that I have fre­ quently- smelt a. .party of women strongly at fully a hundred yards dis­ tant, when the wind has been blowing from that direction.--Pearson's Weeklv.

Drawing to a Close. But the day of large gatherings is slow­ ly and surely drawing to a close. Each year depletes the ranks. This was not so perceptible at first because the Grand Army has kept on growing long after the war was over. The men who did not join it at first, either because their atten­ tion was absorbed, in earning a living or because the war was still so near them that its memories had not ceased to be disagreeable, one by one joined that or­ ganization. So it grew while the number of old soldiers was decreasing. That, pe­ riod of growth is over now, and gradually these annual encampments will dwindle till tens meet where thousands meet now. First South of the Ohio. This encampment was a notable one, as it was the first held south of the, Ohio River. The "boys" marched in a familiar direction and near to the locality of-stir­ ring scenes in their lives, but they went down there with different feelings from those of thirty years ago. .The events in Chiago's Oakwoods Cemetery on Decora­ tion Day, as well as the cordial invitations from Atlanta to Northern soldiery, go to show that the era of complete reconcilia­ tion is at hand. This year's encampment Will expedite its fruition. The men of the blue and the gray will get better ac­ quainted with each other, and will be better friends hereafter for this meeting. The extraordinary preparations which Louisville made and the cordiality of wel­ come all pointed to the same result. The encampment naturally attracted large numbers of the ex-Confederates also, and the commingling of the old-time ene-« mies under the standard of peace added its influences also toward the cementing of kindly feelings. Louisvi l le 's Hospital i ty . Though many of the veterans during the year have replied to the last muster call, the encampment was one of the most successful the Grand Army has ever had. Certainly under the circumstances it was one of the most interesting. Kentucky is closely allied to Ohio, Indiana, and Illi­ nois, and thousands of its sons have set­ tled in those States. The ties between them are strong, and to large numbers of these veterans the welcome was like a family one. Louisville did its best\ipon this occasion. Mr. Watterson and his starry-eyed girl did their best also, ajid if the blue invasion had threatened to be too much for the city the whole Blue Grass region would have come to the rescue. There was room enough, however, for all. Louisville never was known to get too full. The people of the city secured concessions from railroads and hotels, and even arranged for free sleeping quarters in schoolhouses and other buildings, with the additional pro­ vision of tents and barracks. The schools for the week were dismissed. Fuily 300,- 000 strangers were in town during the en­ campment. While the influx from the Northern States was tremendous, yet that from the South kept pace. All the roads ran trains as close together as pos­ sible, and the most complete arrange­ ments prevailed for receiving the visit- ors. Ovation to Lawler. The arrival of Commander-in-chief Lawler was the signal for the opening of the encampment. His special train bowled into the Union Depot on time. As soon as the Commander appeared at the door of his car the members' of the Re­ ception and Invitation Committees gave hinra rousing cheer, The" Louisville Lo­ tion' was the feature of the parade. At the Gait House crowds were awaiting the Commander's arrival, arid they- kept him busy for a long time shaking "hands. At 6 p. m. General Lawler and staff dined with Colonel H. S. Cohn, and at 8 p. in. were formally presented to Presi­ dent Shirley, of the Citizens' Committee. Ransom Post of St. Louis and the Cin­ cinnati posts serenaded the party at Pres­ ident Shirley's, house, where a brilliant, social 'event was in progress. , . At night camp fires were held in New Albany and Jeffersonville, as well as in Louisville, while receptions were given Commander Lawler, Admiral Allen, Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Wallace-and others. At Camp CaldWell, where twelve State de­ partments and thousands of unattached veterans were quartered free in tents, there was singing an J Btory-teiliug and many informal camp fires. "Most of the Indiana veterans were quar­ tered at New Albany and Jeffersonville. The regimental reunions were held in the State headquarters Tuesday. .Distinguished Guests.

Rev. ~ M pjeVf Commander., -• The tread of the feet of the-boys in blue' had hardly begun before the contest" for the office of .Commander-in-chief was well under way. Every State represented seemed to have its favorite son, but the two men most prominently considered for "the" high honor were Major Thaddoiis S. Clarkson of Nebraska and Colonel Ivan N. Walker of Indiana. The friends of these two veterans and of the other candidates were quickly hard at work. The opposing factions got together, and the result of the conference was the decision that Colonels Walker and Clarkson should be the only nominees. Then an Iowa dele­ gate was to move the withdrawal of Col. Clarkson's name and the unanimous elec­ tion of Col. Walker. This would serye to give Col. Clarkson prestige at the 1896 convention. Ivan N, Walker. Colonel Ivan N. Walker is a native of Indiana, and at the breaking out of the war, at the age of 21, was holding an important office, which he resigned .to raise a company for the Seventy-third Indiana, of which he was chosen Captain. He was with his. regiment in all its ^fi- gagements, and for gallant conduct on Stone River's contested field won the rank of Major, and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in March. 1S63, and on the death of the colonel became com­ mander of the regiment. For a year he endured the horrors of Efibby prison, and escaped through the historic tunnel in February, 1S64. Afterward he rendered important service in the Army of the Cumberland, protecting the line of sup­ plies between Stevenson and Depatur, on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and Tennessse River, during the advance on Atlanta. At the battle of Nashville he received the personal thanks of General Thomas. After the war, owing to ill- health, arising from confinement in Libb.v, he resided in Nashville, Tenn., for six years, but returned to Indianapolis in 1871, where he has since lived.

Thou­ sands of both the blue and the gray at­ tended. For two hours veterans and their wives paid their respects to the re­ ceiving party. It is said by veterans who have attended every encampment that the reception surpassed anything of the kind ever held. In the big parade was the old war horso Ned, aged 40 years. His present owner, B. F. Crawford, of Northeast. Pennsyl­ vania, got possession of him thirty-two years ago and says Ned was then 8 years old, according to his mouth. Until five years ago Ned did his share of the work on Mr. Crawford's Pennsylvania farm. Ned was captured from Gen. Jubal Ear­ ly's corps near Washington, and was giv­ en to his present owner to replace an ani­ mal which had been shot in a skirmish. At the close of the war Mr. Crawford left Washington on. Ned's back. Ned has been conspicuous at former encamp­ ments. He gave out at PitTftlttffg last year, and in the Louisville parade he rode on a float. The Chicago posts took the city by storm. The famous Columbia, that post so loved by Southerners, marched at onca to the (ialt House, and were wildly cheer­ ed as they passed through the streets. When they reached the hotel scores of ex- Confederates bid them welcome to Ken­ tucky, and the Chicago men were toasted and feasted to repletion.

Wednesday's Great Parade. At least 40,000 men were in the great parade of Wednesday, and it was watch­ ed by over 300,000 people. Several cir­ cuses had sent their blue board seats, and there were review stands on the line of march to accommodate over 150,000 persons. The route of march looked like an immense amphitheater. Many hun­ dreds of the boys had become worn out, and watched their comrades in, the line of march. The following were among¥t& State departments appearing: Depart­ ment of Indiana, with 124 posts, the larg­ est number of any department; Kentucky, with 00 posts; Illinois, 30; Alabama, Delaware, 1; Iowa, 2; Kansas, 5; Louis­ iana, 11; Maine, 1; Maryland, 2; Massa­ chusetts, 8; Michigan, 1; Minnesota, 2; Missouri, 10; New Hampshire, 1; New Jersey, 2; New York, 5; Ohio, 00; Penn­ sylvania, 11; Vermont, 2; West Virginia, 2; Wisconsin, 3; Oklahoma, 1; Washing­ ton, D.

"Once, on an ocean steamer," said a traveler to a New York Sun' writer, "we had a heated shaft bearing or something of that sort, so that the en­ gines stopped for live or six hours. I had often read and heard about how the captain was the great mogul aboard ship; b'owjibout all things pertaiiiing to the affairs-of the ship he held aloof and must not be approached by the passen­ gers. and that it was a sort of violation of the unwritten rules of the sea for a passenger to ask the captain anything. And there may be some reason in all this. If one passenger might ask him forty might, aiid surely the command­ er of tlie Ship ought not-to be unneces­ sarily disturbed by useless .questions. We bad been lying there three or four hours waiting. • There was no danger whatever, but it was a delay and an incident of interest; and';of course all the f passengers talked about nothing else. .

Rise to International Controversy. The dominion government is considering what course it will be best to follow in protesting against the construction of the Chicago canal, by which it is contended the water level of the great lakes and in the harbors on the Canadian side of these waters is likely to be lowered. One of the government engineers who is looking into the matter said that the government had expected there would be no necessity for a remonstrance from Canada, as the harbors on the American side of the lakes, Which would be as injuriously affected as the Canadian harbors by lowering the lake level, would use their influence sue-, cessfuliy in preventing the construction of the Chicago canal. However, the Can­ adian Government is preparing a-case to submit to Washington through the Brit- -ish Government, pointing out the disas­ trous effect the construction of the canal would have on Canadian shipping. The minister of justice says the law of nations governs the Canadian ease in this ques­ tion. Minnesota Civi l izat ion. The Chicago Opera House. The current attraction at this beautiful theater is Edward E. Rice's company of comedians, presenting "The Globe Trot­ ter," Louis DeLange's new comic play. Mr. Rice, who is acknowledged to be the foremost manager of burlesque and com­ edy organizations, has on this occasion gotten together a company of rare excel­ lence, headed by that unctuous comedian, William Hoey, and including M. A. Ken­ nedy. Lorimer Stoddard, Frederick Perry, It. D. Abbey. Mrs. Dion Boucieault (Lou­ ise Thorndyke), Gerome Edwardy, Ada Alexandra and Aubrey Boucieault. "The Globe Trotter" is pronounced a success, having the elements that make success. The plot is a popular one, the story being founded on the Paul Jones wager to cir­ cle the globe within a given time, leav­ ing Boston without a cent and returning with $5,000. This particular "globe trot­ ter" would have failed ignominiously in his effort if it were not for the assistance afforded by one "Buttsy," a tramp, im­ personated by William Hoey, who not only plays the part of the tramp, but in­ cidentally disguises himself as a deaf and dumb ,old woman and an English lord, causing no end of merriment by his original diplomatic-met hods of advancing his employer's interests throughout the play. ^ Bees that Make Bail Honey. ^ "Lovers of the product of the busy bee will (hid it a wise precaution to have their honey tested as to its purity before they eat it, or use it in a culinary way." Prof. Remington gave a want­ ing something like this at a recent meeting of pharmacists, and at the same time told of a German who was extensively engaged in bee culture, and who had his apiary close to a sugar re- liuery. A lot of rank molasses was ac­ cessible to the bees, and they gorged themselves on it The result was their honey was equally rank, and unfit for use. On angther occasion the bees fed on blooming digitalis, and their honey proved to be poisonous. Natural honey, therefore, is liable to vary very much, and occasionally, when it looks best and is sweetest, it may be loaded with poison. Unscrupulous bee farmers are accustomed to forcing their bees to in­ crease their output by feeding them sweetened water. Their honey, of course, is scarcely fit for use.
