About a month later the illness atâ€" tacked me which has since made my life miserable. I comsulted different doctors but they did not agree as to the nature of my trouble. One said it was a species of paralysis, others said symptoms of fits. I would be feeling very well when I would suddenly have a sensation of partial blindness and everything before me would sparkle. Then my band and arm on one side would become numb, and after about ten minutes this sensation would pass to my lower limbs, then my tongue would _ become _ affected as would also my hearing. Voices, no matter pOCTORS COULD NOT AGREE AS TO THE TROUBLE. how close to me, would seem dim and far away. These symptoms would las, _ forâ€" about forty minutes, 1 would have a violent pain over the eyes, which would continue for twelve hours or more. Notwithstanding all that was done for me, these spells were coming more frequenkly, andat last I would sometimes have twoattacks a day. I was also trouwbled with bronâ€" chitis, which added to my misery. I could not sew or knit, or do any work that required close attention toit. All this trouble hiad nmever left me for years, arml at the ag> of 48 1 consulted anotiher doctor. The medicine he gave me, however, made me worse instead of better. Then I iwas advised to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. I was using the third box before Ifound any beneâ€" fit, but then there was a decided change. By the time I used twelve boxes I felt as well as I did in m# young days. _ Every symptom of the trouble that had so long made my life miserable had disappeared. For eighâ€" teen months Pdid not use the pills and was as well asever I had been in my life. Then one morning I felt a slight attack of the old trouble and determinâ€" ed to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills again. {got a box and took an oceaâ€" sional pill and have never since had a symptom of the trowble. To say that UDr. Williams‘ Pink Pills have done wonders for me is putting it mildly, ind I strongl{ urge their use on all who may be ill. Pink Pills were also of{ great benefit to a niece of mine, Miss Effie J. Everett. Her mother died when she was quite young, and naturally much of the care of the household developed upon her, and as she gremw up she became weak, easily tired, subject to headaches and her complexion was pale and waxâ€"like. A young lmlfy teacher whowas boarding with the family, and who had used Pink Pills with great suceess, urged her to try them. ‘The result was that she soon was enjoyinz the best of health and is a fine robust young lad who shows no traces of her former i]E ness. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills cure by goâ€" ing to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system.

Rirmingham, England, Mas a Factory for Making Heathen Gods. It has recently been discovered that there is in Birmingham, in the very center of Christian England, a factory where idols are made for heathen naâ€" tions, says the Pottery Gazette, Lonâ€" don. Many attempts have been made to obtain admission to the factory, but a strict watch is kept upon outsiders anxious to pry into the secret chamâ€" bers where the beathen gods are made and journalists especially are preventâ€" ed from entering the works. A REMARKABLE CASE, A few facts were, however, to be | gleaned concerning this extraordinary | industry. Idois of all kinds are turn-‘ ed out, representing the gods of all hbeathen nations from ‘Tokio to 'Iimbuc-‘ too. The export trade to heathen counâ€" | tries is a fairly large one, although! more gods ate sent out to foreign dealâ€" ers in curios in the bazaars of Cairo, Damascus, Colomuo, etc., for sale to unâ€" suspecting travelers anxious to take home some mementos of their stay‘ or you may run up the pretty bill of £20 for an especially ugly one, ‘"stolâ€" en," according to the dealer, " by a sailor during the Chinese war." In the Cairo bazaar, howeve:, the price of a firstâ€"class god of this kind may ruin from £20 to anything. A traveler inâ€" formed the writer that there was litâ€" tle difficulty in detecting a god of naâ€" tive make from one of (Birmingham manufacture. The first generally disâ€" played some slight irregularity _ or changse of design to the native workix;g by hand, while the Birmingham & was as superiatively correct in form as the most immaculate dandy is in abroad -‘;I.‘gubrice of gods varies greatly. You may get a Birmingbham made one in a London curiosity shop, for half a crown The trade in idols is kept such a close secret that it is difficult to estimate the output for in the board of trade returns the god would doubtless be classed under the humiliating title of "works of art or curios." But there is no doubt the trade is a fairly large one and that some cute Birminzham men do very well in the business WHERE IDOLS ARE MADE. MOSLEMS EAGERLY RALLY TO GREEN BANNER. It Means the Declaration of a Hoty Yarâ€" Carcfully Guarded For Nearly Thirteen Centuries In a Jeweled Bew»llokry’ in IP CALLS THE FATEFUL the Sultan‘s Palaceâ€"The Signal For Fanatical Slaughter. s Treasured in a jeweled repository in the "Chamber of Noble Garments," in the most secret quarters of the old Serâ€" aglio is a small green banner. Forty silken coverings surround it. The jewâ€" eled box is sunk in the center of the flooring of the great apartment, only portions of its ornamented top being visible. Armed men guard it ; not the ordimary soldiers in the employ of the Sultan, but men whose lives have been dedicated to Mohammed. That banner has been guarded by men of the same stamp for nearly 13 centuries, night and day, year in and year out. Of all the great riches of Abdul Hamâ€" id this ancient banner is the most valâ€" ued. Its power is mightier than the command of the mightiest potentate in the world. Once removed from its covâ€" erings and placed at the head of the imperial army it would draw soldiers from every quarter of the world where there are followers of Mohammed. (Alâ€" most in a moment an army of five, or ten, or fifteen millions of men from Asia, Africa and Europe, would rise up, each human atom in the whole mass willing to die, and anxious for the opâ€" portunity to prove his faith in the green banner. Bmall wonder, then, that Abâ€" dul Hamid should cherish it as HIS RICHEST POSSESSION. Recent reports from Constantinople have more than hinted that a boly war is brewing, and that the sacred edict proclaiming it is in preparation. Perâ€" haps before this reaches the eyes of readers the edict will be announced and the green banner unfurled. Should that calamity happen the world will be treatâ€" ed to a spectacle unsurpassed in barâ€" barism even by the wars of the cruâ€" sades. It will be the final effort of Islam to exterminate Christian Eurâ€" edl several times in the past dozen cenâ€" turies, and with each loosening of the wild fury of its followers death reapâ€" ed a rich bharvest. In the Turkoâ€"Rusâ€" sian war Abdul Hamid twice threatâ€" ened to announce a holy war, but was prevented by Great Britain‘s counter threat of hurling combined Europe at the Ottoman Empire and obliterating the Ottoman it. Of 1821 a‘" holy war," was preacnet! against the Greeks, the silken banner was brought forth, and for the next few years Europs had an opportunity to view the power of this emblem of massacre and bloodshed. Thousands of helpless men were put to the sword, women and children carried into slavâ€" ery and villages and cities burned. Moâ€" bfimmed's doctrine was obeyed literâ€" ally. In 1843 a holy war was instigat@fid against the Neslorian, or Chalean Chrisâ€" tians of Kurdestan, and in a few months 10,000 men were massacred and three times that number of women and children carried off as prizes by the bloodâ€"crazed Turks. Bedr Khan Bey, chief of the Moslem Kurds of that reâ€" gion, led the forces of the holy war, and made a conspicuous place for himâ€" self in the history of the vilest monsâ€" ters of the world. In one village the people of Ashita took refuge on a Ioftg platform rock, where they defended themselves against thousands of assailants. After three days fighting, when they were face to face with starvation, a capitulation was arranged. Bedr Khan swearing on the Koran to spare their lives if they would give up their arms. Wl se T LCCE it sohan thair C . e Cns \ in 1870 the green banner was again | unfuried against the Christians of Mt. 1 Lebanon in Syria. This only progressâ€" |ed a few days when the allied powersl | of Europe put a stop to it, but even in | |\ that time the slaughter done was | frightful. _ Summarized, the results | were : 11,000 Christians massacred, 100,â€" | 000 sufferers by the war, 20,000 desoâ€" ‘late widows and orphans, 3,000 Chrisâ€" | tian habitations destroyed by the torch; |4,000 Christians perished of destitution | and wounds, and $10,000,000 worth of | Christian property destroyed. This was | }ho.‘lnis-t time the green banner was unâ€" | furied. i The green banner formed one of the ‘curtains of the bed on which Mohamâ€" |\ med died. His chief wife, Ayesha, reâ€" | moved it from the bed, and, giving it | to his successor, Omar, the first of the \ Caliphs, bade him carry it in the front of the army; that wherever it was borne conquest was assured. Upon it is embroidered the words ‘"Nasroom \‘min Allab," meaning " Our Help is in gOls uP U RSSBNan The villagers agreed, but when their arms had been delivered, the Kurds swarmed up the rock and THE MASSACRE BEGAN. The place soon became so slipfimry from the constant spilling of blood that Bedr Khan ordered that the othâ€" ers be thrown into the river Zab, flowâ€" ing hundreds of feet below. Not even the youngest child was spared in this slaughter, the young and the old meetâ€" ing the same fate. x J a great many difficulties in this methâ€" i od of cutting diamonds, as the ‘stones l bhave a certain cleavage, and particuâ€" lar veins, all of which have to be careâ€" ] fully studied in order to prevent splitâ€" ting just as success _ seems within lrea'-h.

CHENEY. w.Pr.C 870 ONTARIO ARCHIVES TOROoNTO GRAVE DANGER TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE AT THE PRESENT TIME. COLONIAL CABLE ROUTS, Necesslty for Immediate Action to Bind Britain avzd Her Colontes Togetherâ€" Divrect Routes are Desirable. Speaking of the projected transâ€"Paâ€" cific cable scheme, a writer in the Emâ€" pire, London, says:â€" $ Although Britain is in constant touch with all her colonies, the majority of the latter possess no means of interâ€" communication by telegraph direct. Our West Indian Islands are not connected direct with Canada; Canada cannot communicate direct with Australia; Australia bas no direct cable communiâ€" cation with our growing South Afriâ€" can Empire. Costly circuitous routes have to be adopted for colonial interâ€" communication. Toâ€"day this causes loss and much vexatious delay ; it may, later on, conâ€" stituite a grave danger, seeing that some of the existing cables necessarâ€" ily land on foreign, and possibly hosâ€" tile sbhores. Manifestly, the necessity has arisenfor anew set of nerves for the British Empire, and the Pacific cabâ€" le should form an important link in that chain of all British communication, which must soon become the indispenâ€" sable complement of our Colonial Emâ€" pire. NO TIME TO BE LOST. There is no time to be lost, for active, ambitious rovais are in the field. Eiforts are being made by the Amâ€" ericans to establish a cabie between the United States and the far east and Australia. ‘This project has the approval of the American Governâ€" ment, which has already organized exâ€" peditions for taking soundings along the cable route. Je Cooype But perbhaps our most formidable riv= al is the Campagnie Francaise des Cabâ€" les Telegraphiques, which enjoys the financial support of the French Govâ€" ernment, anxious to extend Gallic inâ€" fluence in the Pacific. French statesmen have long regarded with an envious eye that admirable system of univerâ€" sal cable communication which stands forth to-da{ as a characteristic maniâ€" festation of British pluck and enterâ€" prise. Mistress of the seas, England has contrived to utilize and monopolize the depths thereof ! HOW IT CAN BE DONE. Mr. Chamberlin is fully alive to the importance of this question, which would certainly have received more of his personal attention had not the poâ€" litical situation absorbed all his time. Every responsible colonial Minister in in favour of prompt action, and it is to be hoped that the presence of colonial Premiers in London this year may hasâ€" ten the practical embodiment of the resolutions that were come to at the last conference held in London in June, 1896. Some definite announcement of the plan adopted will then probably be made. & mal wct 4 44 The exploitation of the cable could be effected either through the agency of a subsidized or guaranteed company, or directly by the Gm_'err.x‘men!s concernâ€" ed, as a public work. By adopting the former method, the Governments would merely have to grant liberal subsidies, anmd the company would undertake all responsibility. But this system has many disadvantages, and it is expected that the other alternative will be adoptâ€" ed. In that case, an Imperialâ€"Colonial | Cable Commission could be created to | establish and control the working of the | cable. The capital could easily be raised | at 2 1â€"2 per cent., the interest thereon | being made a first charge on the reveâ€" | nue. It is thought that the financial | liability will be divided between the | Imperial Government, the Australian | colonies and Canada, each contiributing . a third. | This question closely affects South Africa, where its development is being watched with great interest. The Paâ€" cific cable once laid, it could be extendâ€" ed from Australia to the Cape via Keelâ€" ing Islands, thus connecting South ‘Afâ€" rica direct with Australia and Canada, and affording the former country a valuable alternative route to England. The general scheme includes other branch cables, by which many importâ€" ant British possessions would be rescued from that dangerous state of isolation in which they now find themselves. It is a fad in Paris to perfume flowâ€" ers artificially. Experiment has provâ€" ed that it is possible not only to take away the natural odor of a flower, but also to make it yield a per{umse derived from some other vegetable proâ€" duct. Some violets, for example, are perfect in form and _ roloring, but without fragrance, while others, very insignifirant to look at, emit a deâ€" licious fragrance. The trans{er of the odor from one spâ€"aies to the other has been acecmplished. Those who have been most sguccessful in this branch of horticulture refuse to tell their secret. It is said that the African marigold has been robbed of its _ disagreeable odor and endowed with a perfume that makes it much sought. The fad has been carried to the extreme o[ giving to the sunflower the odor of the rose and to the chrysanthemum that of the Joking often loses a friend, and nevâ€" er gains an enemy.
