A reporter called upon Miss Lillian VVar- her at her home, 415 St. Paul Street, Bur- lin on, Vt., and begged the favor of an in- te ew. The young lady is a musician and a pianist of considerable renown, and has her time fully occupied by engagements to play at concerts and other entertainments that are constantly taking place in the city, and the strain upon the "strength and nervous energy of the pianist can be easily imagined. “I never could have stood it once, but I have something now,” said Miss Warner enthusiastically,’ ' that braces me for my work. Some little time ago I was utterly unable to attend to my duties, owing to a disarrangement of the nervous system that affected my eyes with all the rest. They be- came so weak and troubled me so that I fin- ally went away into the country to rest. The benefit obtained from the change of scene and freedom from care was, however, merely tern orary, and upon my return to work I 'rapi ly lost all that I had gained and motel" “ But did you consult a doctor ? " “0 yes, indeed; I put myself under the care of several doctors, and even tried many remedies "recommended for cases like mine. but the medicines had no lasting e‘fi‘ect, and It looked as though nervous prostration was to‘be my portion. “I 'was about ready to ‘throw physic to the do 5 ’ when I first heard of Dr.Williams’ Pink ills for Pale People, and it was with but small faith in any benefit to be derived from them that I at last made up my mind to try them. “ Hardly had I taken the first box before I experienced a great relief from the Weak- ness and nervous troubles with which I was afilict’ed, and my eyes grew stronger every da .’ XAre you taking the pills now? ” was the next query. “ No: as I told you the first box helped me a great deal, and after I had taken six boxes I felt so well that I left off the medi- cine entirely and have not taken any now for some ' weeks. I am able to attend to all my duties and feel as well as can be, while home to the business part of the city.” Miss Warner further said that Dr. VVil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People build up the system, giving a lastin effect and not merely a fictitious strength or the time'be- mg.

We purchased some at the drug store of White & Burdick, of this city. “Hattie began to take the pills in the early part of January of this year.

Mr. Henry Householder is a prominent dairy farmer and market gardener of Ver- non N. Y. Born of healthy parents, his boyhood spent in the favorable surroundings of active farm life, he in manhood was en- dowcd with perfect health. MR. nests: nousnnomnu. He owes and resides upon the paternal homestead and his thoroughly cultivated farm, well kept stock and buildings, show the force and energy of his character. Mr. Householder is deeply interested in public welfare. In his domestic relations he is blessed with a sympathetic, affectionate wife, a son growipg into manhood and three daughters. Four years a o, the first blow fell on that happy home. uring the winter thesecond eldest daughter, who was just budding into womanhood, was prostrated by the grippe, a disease whose deadly nature was not then generally understood. _ Again in early spring the disease con- tinued its deadly hold upon her, and not- w1thstnnding skillful medical treatment and the efforts of parents and friends she sank slowly until death came. ' In January, 1896 Mr. Householder also became a Victim of t e grippe and a compli- cation of diseases. In describing the symptoms of his illness he said: “ In January of last year I was in the woods with myfson cutting and hauling wood to the house. One time while my son went to the house with a load of wood I re- mained ,in the woods and was busily cu- gaged in cutting down a tree. After cutting one side I started cutting on the other, when I was seized with a pain in the small of my back over my left kidney. I suffered intensely and when my son returned we went home. I commenced doetoring at once, re- ceiving treatment at different times from five doctors who disagreed as to what my ailments really were. “ I cannot describe all I suffered, words could not do it. I had palpitation of the heart the least exercise caused shortness of breat . There was a dull pain in my stomach. My kidneys were weak and my liver was enlarged, causing great annoyance while lying‘down. I‘had headache much of the time. My blood was poor and watery. my hands and limbs cold, and finally I fell into nervous despondency. At times I seemed to become somewhat better and hope would revive but only to slip back into a worse condition than ever. The only thing, the doctors seemed to relieve me of was my headache. “ During the following April Mr. House- holder was summoned as juror on the trio of J. \Vatson Hildreth,who was held for wrecking the fast mail train on the New York Central Railroad near Rome, N. Y., and causing many deaths. Eminent coun- sel was engaged on both sides and so care- ful were they in their selections and so widely known had this case become, that four hundred men were summoned before twelve men of assured integrity and worth could be selected. Of his connection with the case Mr. Householder says: “When summoned at court I had one of my seasons in which I flattered myself that I was getting well. But the severe strain of the trial, close confinement of twenty days during which the trial lasted, the attention necessary to the testimony shattered my nerves and upon my return home I was completely prostrated. It was the opinion among my friends and neighbors that I had not long to live: “ I noted articles in the newspapers re- garding people who had been cured of serious illnesses, that in many respects were similar to mine, by Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. This supplemented by the advice of Seigmond Mittenmaier, brother of Superintendent Louis Mittenmaier, of the county Home at Rome, N. Y., decided me to give these pills a trial, I began taking them in July, 1896, and after using one box and port of another I was much improved. I continued their, use and slowly but surely have gained until [have nearly recovered my former ood health. I think if my daughter ha only used these pills in the early stages of her fatal disease, her life might have been saved. I have and do now strongly recommend their use in cases simi- lar to my own.’,’ (Signed) HENRY HOUSEHOLDEB. The blood is the vital element in our lives consequently it must be kept pure rich and red in order to have perfect health. The cause of Mr. Householder’s sickness was impure and impoverished blood. He had skilled medical treatment and used many remedies but derived no benefit until be commenced to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and these cured him. Q This proves that this remedy is the best means of imparting those elements that purify, vitalize and enrich the blood, thus aiding bodily functions and arousing‘cvery organ into healthful action and in this way restoring the entire system. . . That is the reason why Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People cure so many 1 diseases, why doctors prescribe them, why druggists recommend them and why they are so universally used.

Company, Box V, Schenectady, N. Y. A WONDERFUL SIGHT. Effect of Colored Lights .. the Crystal Palace of the Paris Exposition. A brilliant novelty for the exposi- tion in Paris in 1900 emanates from M. Zowieski, a well-known architect of the It prOvides for the erection of a crystal building, over which will fall cascades of water from hundreds of fountains orjets. The building will be made entirely of glass, and will rival in beauty of con-' struction and originality of design the famous Crystal Palace of London, Eng- land. The Paris palace of glass will be Shaped somewhat like the minaret- topp‘ed_ structures that are so much admired in Oriental cities. It will cov- er Lani-area pf six thousand square yards.- 2'0n3each corner will be crystal towers, and in the center will rise a minaret of beautiful and original de- sign that Will be an appropriate cen- trepiece to the fairy palace, The interior of the crystal structure is to be almost as attractive as the ex‘ terior, for in this building will be grouped the most interesting exhibits of the exposition. Since it became known that the managers had accept- ed the idea for a. crystal structure, sug- gested by M. Zowieskl, they‘have been overwhelmed with applications from would-be exhibitors for places in the glass building, the exhibitors well knowing what a. center of attraction the building will be, and appreciating also the fact that a structure of transparent material will be flooded with light in a manner calculated to show off the’ fine points of the exhibits to perfec- tion. The managers appreciate this, too, and have decided to concentrate in the crystal building the exhibits that are of such exquisite delicacy that the stronger thelight the greater their, beauty. Here will be seen the art gems that require no shadow to con- ceal imperfection, the rare paintings, the curios of the earth and the treas- ures of the ocean. . But. it is the outside of the build- ing that will be the greatest wonder by night and day. Wherever water can be conveyed by a line of piping that does not. interfere with the interior or exterior beauty of the building there water will be. Wherever a jet can be added or a. fountain made to play with- out destroylng’the general harmony of the whole, or overdoing the wonderful watery effect, there the jet and the fountain will be placed. The whole structure of glass will be enveloped in ayeil of liquid beauty. From all sides the water will spurt up in rows of jets over the roof in uniform heights, to ' fall back on the building in graceful showers of spray. These rows of jets will entirely surround the structure. so that the visitors 'can pass inside the glasscase, and see the rising wa- ters through the crystal framework. Meeting these rising; jets will be fall- ing fountains, whose water bursts from the roof in graceful showers, mingling artisticallywlth the jets that rise from the ground. There will be flowering devices-formed by the bursting waters, wheels of liquid loveliness, trees of glittering spray, new and 10vel pat- terns tracofi in sparkling drops on the glass background of the palace, and fanciful figures innumerable formed of dashing, leaping, failing. bursting will of the designer, so as to bound and fall in conformity with the plan of the master mind that constructed the set of pipes and nozzles through which the water passes on its way to the air. In the daytime, whon'thesun strikes the gushing waters, endpoints them in rainbow colors, making each Map a. crystal gem of ‘cofistantly changing hue, the'water palace Will be a sight that, for loveliness,'will be hard to surpass. ‘ But how can words describe the ap- pearance of the fairy palace in the night time, when the structure is il- luminated by the electric light in all the most beautiful colors imaginable. Inside and out it will be a. blaze of splendor. Showers of crystal drops will meet the white, blue, green, red and yellow light of electricity in every direction, miniature geysers will burst from the fountains surrounding the and criss-cross the dazzling rays, ap- pealing to the senses of both sight and hearing. The designs will be. changed fre- quently, so that on each day and night of the week there will be a. different ar— rangement o'f watery patterns. Or, if it is desired, the patterns can be chang- ed at intervals during the day or night. This is made possible by the skill of the designer, who has arranged his plans for the pipework so that by shutting off some of the jets and turn- ing on others, fioral formations can be turned into pillars of water, and ' wreaths of crystal flood into wavy l twists and turns and figures.«—Baltl- ' more American. , Frocks tor- Younz Girls. , The new dainty silk cashmere and thin cotton frocks for girls from four to sixteen years have velvet ribbon :edging the ruflles on the waist and i skirt similar to those prepared for wo- ,men.

A Sable Skin That Surpasses Anything in Nature. Li Hung Chang is believed to be the richest man in the world. This belie: certainly gives credit from a glimpse at one portion of his invested capital which recently made its appearance in the city of London. Among other sources of income, the great Chinese satrap draws an annual tribute of pre-c: ious furs from one of the northern provinces. Li Hung Chang has immense ware- houses in Pekin crammed with precious furs from top to bottom. There is an immense demand for rare furs in China. A nation in which neith- er men nor women wear jewels, but which has an exquisite taste for per- sonalv: luxuries, finds a substitute for jewels in costume. An Indian or Afghan prince will perhaps dress in white cot- ton, provided this be set off by some priceless gems on his sword; dagger and turban. A Chinese mandarin’s sole jewel may be a. few bits of jade or car- nelian, but he makes up for this in summer by the richness of his silks, and in winter by wearing robes of furs so splendid that it. needs a certain edu- a LI HUNG CHANG. cation to appreciate the full beauty of the costume. It has long been known that the Chinese furriers were the be: in the world, and that except in the dyeing of sealskins, their treatment of the fur itself, especially inimproving its tint and luster, was unrivaled. It was not, however, suspected that they could improve on the work of nature. An inspection of some of Li’s furs re- cently sent to London showed that this was a. task not beyond the art of the ancient civilization vof the far East There were three or four robes which raised a certain excitement of admira- tion, even among the purely commer- cial experts of the wholesale fur trade. One of these robes was constructed with a. special object. - » The aim of the Chinese furrier had. been to make a skin of sable magnified ,> 2.‘ to the size of the skin of a. bear. In addition to creating a. gigantic sable, this genius also wished that the ani- mal should have fur with the hair lying all parallel: whereas in nearly every fur except that of the seal, when the long hairs are removed the grain and direction follow the anatomy of the body, and give an unevenness to the whole. To effect these objects the art- ist had cut out the “tit-bits" of sable skins, and divided these into tiny strips » averaging from an inch to half an inch in length. These strips were all from the same part of the sable’s body, ad were covered with fur of even length, luster and thickness. They were then sewn together with minute art, so that at the back the skin looked like a patchwork of tiny parallelograms like the squares on a fritlllary flower, avers aging from three to four in the square inch. In front the fur was absolutely uniform, homogeneous and apparently without seam or joining, the kind of giant sable skin which might appear in dreams as the ideal of a. Russian bride’s trosseau. But Li Hung Chang’s furriers had produced something bet— tetr than this—a fur robe which can justly claim to be an improvement on anything that nature has given us in the rarest furs of beasts. Sable was again the material used. In this robe also the skins were divided, and re- joined so as to secure uniformity of tint, fur and setting. But in the robe so made the artist had inserted at in- tervals the skin of the sable’s shoulder and forcpaw. .This, when out out, laid flat and sewn together, with a little ad- dition to the curves, forms an “ocel- lus” like a peacock’s eye in sable dam- ask, for the tint of the robe .was uni- form, and only the difference in the lie and texture of the fur produced the or- naments. The result was the creation of a sable skin, adorned at regular in- tervals with an apparently natural or- nament of peacock‘s eyes, such as one sees in the tail of the white peacock, indicated by the same alternations of reliestidn and lights as in damask. The magnificence of this conception needs no comment.—London Spectator. A Town Built of Salt. In Galicia, in Austrian Peland, there Is a remarkable underground city which .has a population of 'over 1,006 men, women and children, scores of whom have never seen the light of day.

'It has its town-hall, theatre, and assembly-room, as well as a. beautiful church, decorated with statues, all be- ing fashioned from the pure crystal-- lized rock-salt.

With his bare hands, Private John. M. Jones, of Battery 1, regular army, extinguished a fire in a. smoldering bag that contained fifty pounds of powder during the time the jubilee salute of twenty-one guns was being fired at Lime Point. It. all happened in an in- stant, but it was one of those brief periods of time that seem an age, and that often make brave men grow gray. The event came about in this way: Lieut. Charles W. Foster, of Battery I, stationed at Lime Point, was detailed to take charge of the firing of the sa- lute from the Marin shore, and with him were Sergt. M. L. Mitchell and Privates Davis, Dunlgan, Seigle, Mor— ley, Winters the gunner, and Jones. The squad loaded one of the big 15- inch guns with 50 pounds of black pow- der. The priming wire was driven down the vent-hole, and the friction At the signal the gunner pulled the string. The big gun was silent. Three times this was ‘re. peated, and the lieutenant came to the conclusion that the vent hole had be- come clogged. He ordered the powder charge, which was sewed up In a wool- en bag, to be withdrawn. This Was done by screwing a worm, fastened to s primer staff, into the bag and pull-- ing the bag out. This took the com.- bined strength of Privates Davis, Dun- lgan, Selgle and Morley, for the charge had been rammed home hard. As the bag of powder dropped to the ground every man'turncd pale in the expectation of being blown into eternity the next moment. The last primer had set the woolen bag on fire, and in an instant the whole charge would explode. With one bound Pri- vate Jones was beside the smoldering bag, and with his bare hands he rolled and smothered the burning wool be- fore it could ignite the powder, and to make sure he plastered some damp earth into the singed edges. The danger passed, the brave fellow arose, stepped back to his place and touched his cap in salute to his superi— or ofiicer. His face was white, and beads of perspiration stood out on his forehead, but not with fear. The faces of those‘he had saved were ever, whiter, and for a moment no em: spoke. Then all broke out in thanks and praise for the noble act that had saved their lives, officers and privates alike—San Francisco Call. Household Hints.
