I had tried several tors and many medicines, but to no avail, until I began Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills. At the time I beâ€" gan the Pills I had grown so bad that I could hardly be on my feet and was forced to wear elastic banâ€" dages about the ankles. The pain I suffered at times from the neuralgia was terrible. I had almost given up hope when I besan the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. In the course of a few weeks I felt an improveâ€" ment, and I gladly continued the use of the Pills until I was once more quite well and able to attend to all my household duties."

A curious festival takes place anâ€" nually in the village of Isobe, in the southern province of Japan, the Wide World says. The festivity is ealled the Omitta, and attracts large crowds from the neighboring districts. The young men, stripâ€" ping off their clothing, take their positions in a rice field, where they struggle violently with one anâ€" other for possession of a decorated bamboo pole. The man who sucâ€" ceeds in pulling the pole down promptly cuts it into pieces, which he distributes among his less fortuâ€" nate competitors, retaining a porâ€" tion for himself. It is believed that if any one meets with a storm out at sea he can easily save himself from a watery grave by simply throwing a portion of this pole into the sea. With a handv life insurance policy of this kind to be obtained at the price of a little effort, it can be unâ€" derstood that the struggle for the pole is a distincetly strenuous one. A young man was advised by a friend to eat Grapeâ€"Nuts because he was all run down from a spell of fever. He tells the story : THE KAISER OF GERMANY Who in his long reign has never had a war.

One after another the remaining Ind‘ans collapsed, till only Grayson and the guide were left, pushing onâ€" ward. The orchid hunter felt as if he was being attacked by the insiâ€" dious power of opium, but retained enough consciousness to become aware that, gleaming through the trees ahead, he saw flowers of huge size and vivid colors, many hued clusters of them hanging in trails. It was the death orchid. 5 When he recovered his senses he found himself being carried back to camp, where the rest of his porters had remained.

Two weeks passed withâ€" out any incident out of the ordiâ€" nary. But one morning there was a perceptible smell of flowers in the air. When the orchid hunter and his Indians camped that night the jungle smells had been entirely lost in the cloying scent. Many of the band refused to go farther. ‘"A friend insisted on my using Nerviline, and to my surprise a vigorous rubbing of this powerful liniment eased the pains and reâ€" duced the stiffness in my joints.

Everything that is good or beautiâ€" ful in society or in a human life must be built upon the foundation of good morals. Bad morals lead invariably to bad manners, bad health, bad everything; and good morals inevitably bring every other kind of goodness in their train. An epidemic that carries off multitudes of our little children has a moral, or rather an immoral cause back of it. And there is food for thought in that statement. The society that is kept in good moral health will have a low deathâ€"rate. And that is only saying that the society that is healthy spiritually will be healthy in the physical sense.

There are men who say they do not care for their reputation. They will take care of their character and let their reputation take care of itself. But they are not wise. It is our business to guard with religious care both our character and our reâ€" putation. The business man must have a good name or his business will not prosper. A good name is an essential thing for a young man who goes out to find a business opening. If his good name is gone who will employ him? When one‘s reputation is tarnished his influence is gone. When the good name of an innocent person is soiled by the tongue of slander most people will say it is a natural occurrence which could not be avoided ; and some will say it is a strange providential visiâ€" tation. It is not always so. â€" Someâ€" times it is a clear case of giving that which is holy to the dogs. If young people were prudent and careful to avoid the appearance of evil they might, as a rule, escape the shame and humiliation of a bad name. But they are not always prudent. They are often found in places where they ought not to be. They often go into company which awakens suspicion. If they are warned of danger they scoff at the warning and defy public sentiment. Thev are not afraid. They may be innocent but they are not prudent. A good name which has been handâ€" ed down through many generations without a spot is worth guarding with serupulous care. _ Hone at Last. ‘‘The world is getting better." ‘‘Yes.
