The Democrat has had its attention call- «d to a remarkable cure, due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and the follow ing statement, made to a reporter of thin paper, will be read with interest by all. similarly afflicted. Mrs. John Tooley. of Dwijjht, in this county, is the lady bene fited by the medicine named, and she makes the following statement: State of Michigan, County of Charle voix, ss.: "In the year 1S911 was a great sufferer g .from extreme nervousness, which finally developed into an aggravated attack of St. \ itus' dance. My health was very poor and I suffered terribly for six months, constantly growing worse. Final ly I left home and went to my relatives ih Canada for a visit, and my people never expected I would return alive. In Canadn I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and the result was truly marvelous. When I began taking thecal Weighed but ninety-six pounds, and in nine weeks' time, during which I took four boxes of the medicine, I gained so that I weighed 125 pounds, and the St. Vitus' dance and all nervousness disappeared. I returned home,in nine weeks completely -cured and , in the best of health, and have continued so to this day. Previous to taking the Pink Pills I had been attended by several physicians, but with no good results. 1 owe my life to Pink Pills, and have earn estly recommended them to all my friends, and my mother and threa brothers have taken them with good results, my mother for heart trouble. I will be glad to an- V swer any and all inquiries as to what Pink Pills have done for me."" (Signed.) , MRS. JOHN TOOLEY. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 2d day of July. 1890i . ' . Mrs. Tooley is now the picture of health, and the Democrat reporter could hardly realize that she was at one time so hear to death. But her testimony is-unassail able, and she is very earnest in her desire to spread the good news to other sufferers. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregulari ties and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood, and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for direct by mailfrom Dr. Williams' Medi cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

In the form of a pasty mass the paper Is spread upon the surface, to be covered and sub mitted to pressure. It behaves like plaster of Paris, and is said to be noise less under the foot, and particularly ef fective in preserving a uniform, tem perature. Having no joints, it pre sents a perfectly smooth surface. v- Microbes in E^ss. Doctor MacClIntock, of the Univer sity of Michigan, has discovered that microbes exist in eggs. He took a perfectly healthy hen, washed her with, disinfectants and placed her in a dis infected cage, where she laid her eggs. The doctor at once broke the new-kjid eggs and found that they contained bacterial germs. There is no reason to be alarmed, however, because all mi crobes are not energies to man. and it has not been shown that those which exist in the eggs of healthy fowls are injurious. Size and Speed of Waves. Many different answers have been given to the question: "How high are the greatest ocean waves?" Monsieur Dibos, a marine engineer, and laureate of the Institute of France, has lately made some personal observations on this subject. He describes waves en countered in the North Atlantic which had a height of at least forty-five feet. Driven before a heavy wind, waves may advance at the rate of from thir ty-live to forty miles an hour, and such undulations of the ocean may trav el more than 500 miles from the point where the wind created them, with out being accompanied "by any disturb ance in the atmosphere. Steel Diamonds. Within a year or two the French chemist, Monsier Moissan, has succeed ed in making minute diamonds by sat urating melted iron with carbon, and then cooling the iron under strong pressure. The carbon crystallizes into the form of diamonds as the metal cools. This experiment has been re peated many times. Recently it oc curred to Monsieur Rossel that there must be diamonds in very hard steel, which is produced in a manner similar to the process of Monsieur Moissan. Accordingly he examined many speci mens, of such steel, and discovered that, in fact, it does contain microscop ic diamonds, mere specks in size, but presenting the characteristic forms and properties of natural diamonds. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sci ences in Paris, Monsieur Rossel ex hibited magnified photographs of sev eral of these minutes gems from bits of steel. A' Beneficent Lake. According to Professor Forel, of Lau sanne, the Lake of Geneva, lying in the deep valley between the Alps and the Jura Mountains, performs a re markable work for the benefit of man. During the-summer its waters Store up a great quantity of heat, which is slow ly radiated into the air in the course of the following autumn. Thus the freezing currents descending from the snow-topped mountains around are warmed and tempered, and the at mosphere along the shores of the lake ature. The excellence of the grapes which produce the celebrated white wines of this region is thought to be largely due to the influence of the lake upon the condition of the atmosphere. But the remote descendants of the present inhabitants will experience quite a different state of affairs, for Professor Forel says that in 64,000 years the river Rhone will have turned the lake into a broad plain, by means of the soil it is constantly carrying down from the mountains. A DEAD-AND-ALIVE CITY. . wltf> had helped Deville--a baby rattle for the infant Prince Imperial. In 1855, when the first aluminum company was formed, the cost of a pound of the metal was about $200. In 1889 Charles M. Hall, of Oberlin, O., patented an electrolytic process. He, with a few of his friends, then started' a small plant on the bank of the Alle-: gheny river, eighteen miles above Pitts burg. The first year the company pro duced 75 pounds of aluminum a day, which was sold for $4.50 a pound. In 1895 a company built a large plant at Niagara Falls, and this year it is build ing additional works. When these are completed they will have an output of 11,000 pounds daily. This will put the United States ip front as the largest aluminum producing country in the world. Aluminum weight is about a third that of iron, ana only steel of the high est quality and the best aluminum bronze will give a greater strength for a given weight than aluminum. It stands high in the list of malleable metals, and can be drawn Into wire 1-250 of an inch in thickness. It is an excellent conductor of electricity, and Cordova Has I«ittle of Its Old-Time Wealth and Power. From the station we drove through a staring white suburb, past the well whitewashed walls of the bull-ring, to the Fonda de Oriente. It was still early in the afternoon, the sun fierce, the light blinding--the hour when all sum mer we had been sleeping and dream ing in the Alhambra's halls and the Generalife's aradens. Remembering their loveliness, and hoping for new b«iuty like it, we could not stay in the dull hotel bedroom, though with its tiled floor it was fairly cool and clean, and we went out into the town. Silence hung over it like a pall. Every wind ing street in the labyrinth beyond the Paseo was empty; not a living creature in sight, only once in a while a beggar, who ruehed from some spot or shade to assail us; all the low. white houses, with their iron-barred windows, were t'ght shut; the place was abandoned and desolate, its silence unbroken by sound of toil or traffic. Was this really the Cordova of Musa and Abderraliman, the Cordova once called the Bagdad or Damascus of the West, whose streets were ever alive with the clang of arms, the pomp of processions, the clatter of students going to and from the schools, whose name was a synonym for wealth and power, for culture and industry--the world-famous town with its scientists and merchants and women doctors? It was as if a plague had fallen suddenly upon the town, and left not one man, woman or" child to tell the tale.--Cen tury. ' - The Yonngest Metal. Aluminum, the youngest of all metals, is Rapidly coming into general use. It was discovered by Frederick Woliler, a German professor, in 1827, but to St. Clair Deville, a Frenchman, belongs the honor of being the founder of the aluminum industry.

Maarten Maartens, who has just com pleted a short story of 20,000 words, is visiting friends in England. Olive Sclireiner's articles on South Africa in the London Fortnightly are to be published in volume form during the autumn. Mr. Crockett's next novel. "Locliin- var," is half completed, and those who' have read the completed chapters are enthusiastic in their praise of the work. Harold Frederic has begun a new novel of equal length with "The Dam nation of Theron Ware," but in this book he will for the first time deal exclusively with English people and subjects. J. M. Barrie has finished a book on his mother entitled "Marget Ogilvy,' to be published in this country. It is not a biography in the ordinary sense, and is said to be the most exquisite piece of work he has yet done. An English lady of Brighton contrib utes a hitherto unrecorded anecdote of Cljfflsupplier North. A lady admirer has jjist coriiplimented Kit upon the size of his "noble head" when he rath er staggered her by replying: "True, madam; in our village there was only one head bigger than mine, and that was the village idiot's." Prof. Lombroso contributes a paper to the German review, Zukunft, in which he attempts to trace the rela tion between religion and crime, and makes out a bad case for the older creeds. He 6ums up: "The religions which serve as a check to crime are those whose controlling force is a pas sion for morality and those that are quite new; the ethical influence of the rest is not greater than that of athe ism."

Notwithstand ing the general scramble among Euro pean nations to divide up and posses^ the land, they have only a vague idea of what the continent contains, over t>,500.000 square miles being yet unex plored. ot After Africa, Australia offers the vastest field to the investigation of ex plorers; we must rftmember that even its seacoast was ntftifully exploded till 1S43. Since that time, at the price of great suffering, it has been crossed from south to north'; but no traveler has yet traversed it from east to west. While the North American continent has been very well explored, the whole central region of the southern conti nent has not been mapped with any degree of accuracy. Some portions of it have been roamed over by men hunt ing for wood, mines and articles of com merce, but very little is known .of the interior of the continent, „ To sum up, the yet unexplored parts of the globe cover an area of about 50,- DOO.OOO square kilometers (about 20.000.- 000 square miles), approximately divid ed thus: Some Growers Think It Was a Bless* ine in Disguise. "A year ago I had an orange grove for sale, but I have none for sale now," said a gentleman the dther evening to a group of friends in front of one of the •hotels. A laugh greeted this statement. "I did not intend that as a joke, gen tlemen, but in all seriousness. After the freeze, and up to a year ago, I would have taken little or nothing for what had been a fine ten-acre grove. To-day I would not take less than I asked before the freeze. In fact, I cal culate this grove of mine will be> worth 50 per cent, more two years hence than it ever was, or would have been had it not been for the freeze, which killed off 50 per cent, of competition that will never again be revived. I am not alone in y views on this subject. You will find a majority of the professional orange growers of the State of the same mind. Very few orange groves are for sale. • ' ' _ "The freeze was a blessing in dis guise, not only in killing off competi tion that would have made the whole industry unprofitable, but in teaching the orange grower the value of divers ity and economy. Some of the grow ers have actually demonstrated that there is more money in other crops than in oranges, and these in future will be found planting everything they can plant, reserving the orange crop as the profit. crop,, and if they practice the same economy they have practiced for the last year and a half by mak ing their own corn, fodder, hay, and bacon, they will grow into a prosper ous, if hot rich, peaple. "Another comforting feature of the freeze is the fact that it put thousands of men at work. In the orange-growing portion of the State it is a rare thing to find an idle laborer. The growers employ them to rehabilitate the groves. The old dead wood has been sawed off: piled up and burned, fertilizers have been worked into the soil, and the trees are growing like magic, green, healthy and vigorous, and many of them have young oranges upon them. A more complete transformation one could hardly conjure up. Last year, if you traveled through the State, you grew 6ick at heart with the sight of the dead trees red as if fire had swept them. Now it does your heart good to see the beautiful green leaves fast covering every scar."--Jackson Union. Peace- ojn- Earth.

When the car horses throughout Con- necticut cities were retired a few years ago with the coming of the trolley, peo ple wondered what would become of the 000 cars that they had dragged so long. No one would have guessed then that a brisk demand for these old cars would spring up in one season and would almost completely exhaust the supply. Yet such has been the case this summer. The cars have been sold for summer shelters in rural districts for hunters' camps, for lodges by soli tary lakes, for cabins on house boats, and, most of all, for the homes of campers on the coast of Long Island! Sound, and Its islands. A Norwich party at Seotclicap, on the Thames riv er, have arranged four horse cars in the form of a hollow square. A can vas awning covers the courtyard made by the ears, and a tall flagstaff rising from the center completes the pleasing establishment. One of the cars is used as a kitchen and workshop, and the others are lounging, sleeping and recep tion rooms. How Dickens Wrote. Stephen Fiske presents a most inter esting penj picture of Dickens, his fam ily and of "Gad's Hill," where he was a frequent and welcome guest. In the Ladies' Home Journal. Of Dickens' ivethod of work Mr. Fiske says: Dun ing my visits Dickens was not at work upon a novel, but he shut himself in Fecliter's chalet from 11« a. m. to ii p. m. aimost every day. This was an other part of his methodical system If he felt in the mood he would writw an 'Uncommercial Traveler' article; if not, he would answer letters, read 'All the Year Round' proofs, ,1ot down ideas, iill up the time with some sort of literary labor. This, lie told me, was his self-discipline. The one room in the chalet was sparsely furnished, and had windows on all sides commanding quiet, pleasant views of fields and plan tations. He seldom talked of his books, but one rainy day he showed me the bound manuscript of one of them, and told me his method of planning a story. Having selected a subject he would write down the name of the hero and surround it with queries: "Shall he be rich? Parents or guardians? Defraud ed of his property? An early love?" ond so on with the other characters as they occurred to him. He always used blue ink, and so did Yates and Halli- day, and the other writers of what was then 'the Dickens school.' They all called him 'Chief,' and he liked the title." ' Trade in Ancestors. "There is a regular trade done in old Piso's Cure for Consumption has saved me large doctor bills.--C. L.

The musical or whistling tree is found in the West Indian Islands, in Nubia and the Soudan. It has a peculiar- shaped leaf, and pods with a split or open edge. Tlie wind passing through these sends out the sound which gives the tree its peculiar name. Iu Barba- does, there is a valley iilled with these trees, and when the trade winds bl6w across the islands a constant moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard from it, which in the still, liours of the night has a very weird and unpleasant effect. A species of acacia, whieli grows very, abundantly in the Soudan, is also called the whistling tree by the natives. Its shoots are frequently, by the"agency of the larvae of inserts, distorted in shape, and swollen into a globular blad der from one to t\jvo inches in diameter. After the insect .has emerged from a circular hole in the side of this swell ing, the opening, played upon by the wind, becomes a musical instrument, equal in sound to a sweet-toned flute.-- Tit-Bits.

"I am frequently called upon to sup ply these fictitious ancestors, and I find that the portrait of a gentleman in armor--and armor is especially favored. Only the other week a man, whose man ner spelt 'fortune from pork sausages,' applied to me for a series of ancestors. I had three old portraits on hand at the time, and offered them to him, but he did not care about them because there was no armor. Could I not sup ply this deficiency? I said 'Yes,' and doubled the price of the pictures, and he drew me a check for £250 with avid- Sty. Now he wants four more to fill four vacant panels in the picture gallery of his 'ancestral home.' "Of course, you kuow that large quan tities of ancient armor are made every year in Sheffield and bought by the same class of people, with the same ob ject as the pictures.

A Big Circulation. A statistician has learned that the annual aggregate circulation of the pa pers of the world is calculated to be 12,- 000,000,000 copies. To grasp any idea of this magnitude we may state that it would cover no fewer than 10,450 square miles of surface, that it is print ed on 781,250 tons of paper, and, fur ther, that if the number 12,000,000,000 represented, instead of copies, seconds, it would take over 333 years for them to elapse. In lieu of this arrangement we might press and pile them vertical ly upward to gradually reach our high est mountains. Topping all these and even the highest Alps, the pile would reach the magnificent altitude of 490, oi% in round numbers, 500 miles. Calcu lating that the average man spends five minutes reading his paper in the day. (this is a very low estimate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually occupy time0 equivalent to 100,000 years reading the papers.
