The wonderful cure related below is
. by no means unusual with. Hood’s Sar-
_’ saparilla. This great medicine has
given. health to suffering children,
even when health seemed impossible.
The secret of its success is that it pu1i-
fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood.
. “I wish to tell of a wonderful cure
effected by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Five
lyears ago my little boy was sudden-
2ly seized with a severe lameness, appar-
' ently in his right knee, which some phy-
: sicians said was rheumatism, while others
said it was hip disease and that it was

lncurahle

.'During the next Winter and spring he
Ebecame rapidly worse. We took Jimmie
' to a specialist, who said it was hip disease.
3 At this time the affliction became so
severe that we could not move him with-
jout causing screams of agony. He be-
came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and
' was but a shadow of his former self. We
had about given up hope when we read of
‘ a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar
' case. We resolved to try this medicine.
Jimmie was decidedly improved after
. taking the first bottle. He was even

Better

after the second. We have since used
over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and
the change has exceeded our expectations.
James is now able to walk without the
aid of crutches and goes to school every
day. He has been wonderfully cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” J. O. RUNDELL,
Oakley, Michigan.

Druggist 0.0. Tubbs says he knows the
Randell boy has been wonderfully

Cured

by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and that Mr. Run-
dell is thoroughly reliable. He has a good
sale of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Hood’s
Pills, both of which are giving 'perfect
satisfaction. He says Hood’s Pills seem
to be the coming family cathartic.

AMANDA TODD.

BY MARY E. WILKINS.

Amanda Todd’s orbit of existence is

- restricted, of a necessity, since she was

born, brought up and will die in this vil-
lage, but there is no doubt that it is
eccentric. She moves apart on her own

'little course quite separate from the
resrt of us.

Had Amanda’s lines of life been cast
elsewhere, where circumstances had
pushed her, instead of heunming her in,
she might have become the feminine
apostle of a new creed, have founded
a sect or instituted a. new system of fe-
male dress. As it is, she does not go to
meeting, she never wears a bonnet and
she keeps cats.

Amanda Todd 1s 60, and she never was
married. Had she been, the close fric-
tion with another mature might have
worn away some of the peculiarities of
hers. She might have gone to meeting,
she might have worn a bonnet, she
might even have eschewed cats, but it
is not. probable. When peculiarities
are in the grain of a person’s nature, as
they probably are in hers, such friction
only brings them out more plainly,
and it is the other person who suffers.

The village men are not, as a rulc,very
subtle, but they have seemed to feel
this instinctively. Amanda. was, they
say, a very pretty girl in her youth, but
no young man ever dared make love to
her and marry her. She had always the
reputation 'of being “an odd stick,”
even in the district school. She al-
ways kept by herself at recess, she never

seemed to have anything in common
with the other girls and she always
went home alone from singing school.
Probably never in her whole life has
Amanda Todd known what it is to
be protected by some devoted person of
the other sex through the mighty perils
of our village street.

There is a tradition in the village that
once in her life, when she was about 25
years old, Amanda Todd had a bean-
tiful bonnet and went to meeting.

Old Mrs. Nathan Morse vouches for
the reliability of it, and, moreover, she
hints at a. reason. “When Mandy, she
was ’bout 25 years old,” she says,
“George Henry French, he come to
town, and taught the district school,
and he see Mandy, an’ told Almira Ben-
ton that he thought she was about the
prettiest girl he ever laid eyes on, and
Almiry, she told Mandy. That was all
there ever was to it, he never waited on
her, never spoke to her, fur’s I know,
but right after that, Mandy, she had a
bunnit, and she went reg’lar to melertin’.
’Fore that her mother could scarcely
get her to keep a thing on her head
out of doors—allers carried her sunbun-
nit a—danglin’ by the strings, wonder
she wasn’t sunstruck a million times—
and as forgoin’ to meetin’, her mother,
she talked and talked, but it didn’t do
a mite of good. I s’pose her father kind
of upheld her in it. He was most as
odd as Mandy. He wouldn’t go to meet-
in’ unless he was driv, and he wa’n’t a
member. ’Nough sight ruther go out
prowlin’ 10und in the woods like a wild
animal, Sabbath days, than go to meet-
in’. Once he ketched a. Wildcat, an’
tried to tame it, but he couldn’t. It bit
and chewed so he had to let it go. I
guess Mandy gets her liking for cats
from him fast enough. Well, Mandy,
she had that handsome bunnit, and she
went to meetin’ reg’lar ’most a year,
and she looked as pretty as a picture
sittin’ in the pew. The bunnit was
trimmed with green gauze ribbon and
had a wreath of fine pink flowers inside.
Her mother" was real tickled, thought
Mandy had met with a. change. But
land, it didn’t last no time. George
Henry French, he quit town the next
year and went to Somerset to teach,
and pretty soon we heard he hed mar-
ried a girl over there. Then Mandy,
she didn’t come to meertin’ any more.
I dunno what she did with the bunnit
—stamped on it, most likely, she al-
ways had consider’ble temper—anyway,
I never see her wear it arterwards.”

Thus old Mrs. Nathan Morse tells the
story, and somehow to areflective mind

the picture of Amanda Todd in her
5 011th decked in he1 pink-w reathed
bonnet, selfishly but innocently attend-
ing in the sanctuary of divine love in
order to lay hands on her own little
share of earthly affection, is insepara-
ble from her, as she goes now, old and
bare-headed, defiantly past the meet-
ing house, when the Sabbath bells are
ringing.

However, if Amanda ’Dodd had elected
to go bareheaded through the village
street from feminine vanity, rather
than eccentricity, it would have been
no wonder. Not a young girl in the vil-
lage has such a head of hair as Amanda.
It is of a beautiful chestnult color, and
there is not. a gray thread in: it. It is
full of wondsrful natural ripples, too
-—not one of the village girls can equal
them with her papers and crimping
pins—and Amanda arranges it in two
superb braids wound twice around her
head. Seen from behind, Amanda’s
head is that of a. young beauty; when
it turns a little, and her harsh old pro-
file becomes visible, there is a shock to
the stranger.

Amanda’s. father had a great shock
of chestnut hair, which was selldom cut,
and she inherits this adornment from
him. He lived to be an old man, but
that ruddy crown of his never turned
gray.

Amanda’s mother died long ago;
then: her father. Ever since she has
lived allone in her shingled cottage with
her cats. There were not so many cats
at first; they say she started with one
fine tabby, who became the mother,
,grandnrother and great—grandmother
to armies of kittens.

Amanda must destroy some when she
can find no homes for them, otherwise
she herself would be driven afield, but
still the impression is of a legion.

A cat is so covert, it slinks so secretly
from one abiding place to another and
seems to duplicate itself with its sud-
den appearances, that it may account in
a measure for this impression. Still

 

‘justfl the number—the estimate runs

 

there are a great many. Nobody knows,

 

' anywherefrom 15 to 50.. Counting, or.

trying to count, Amanda Todd’s cats
is a favorite amusement of the village
children. “Here’s another,” they shout,
when a pair of green eyes gleams at

only the same cat who has moved? Cats
sit in Amanda’s windows; they stare
out wisely at the passers—by, from be-
hind the panes, or they fold their paws
on the ledge outside in the sunshine.
Cats walk Amanda’s ridgepole and her
fence, they perch on. her posts and fly
to her cherry trees with bristling fur
at the sight of a dog. Amanda has as
deadly a hatred of dogs as have her
cats. Everyone which comes within
stone throw of her she sends off yelp-
ing, for she is a good shot. Kittens
tumble about Amanda’s yard and crawl
out between her fence pickets under
people’s feet. Amanda will never give
away a. kitten except to a responsible
person, and is as particular as if the
kitten were a human orphan, and she
the manager of an asylum.

She will never, ‘for any consideration,
bestow one of her kittens upon a» family
that keeps a dog, or where there are
many small children. Once she made a
condition that the dog should be killed,
and she may be at times inwardly dis-
posed to banish the children.

Amanda Todd is extremely persistent
when she has selected a home Which is
perfectly satisfactory to her for akit-
ten. Once one was found tied into a
little basket like a baby on the doorstep
of a childless and humane couple who
kept no dog, and there is a story that
Deacon Nehemiah Stockwell found-one
in his overcoat pocket and never knew

Amanda resorts to these extreme meas-
ures to save herself from eitherdestroy-
ing her kittens or being driven out of
house and home by them.

However, once, when the case was re—_
versed, Amanda herself was found
wanting. When she began to grow old,
and the care of her pets told upon her,
it occurred to her that she might adopt
a little girl. Amanda has a comfortable
little income, and would have been able
to provide a good living for a child, as
far as that goes.

But the managers of the institution
to whom Amanda applied made in-
quiries, and the result did not satisfy
them. Amanda stated frankly her
reason for wishing to: take the child,
and her intentions with regard to
her. She wished the little girl to tend
her cats and assist her in caring for
them. She was willing that she should
attend school four hours per day, going
after the cats had their breakfast, and
returning an hour earlier to give them
their supper. She was willing that she
should go to meeting in the afternoon
only, and she could have no other chil-
dren come to visit her for fearmthey
would maltreat the kittens. She fur-
thermore announced her intention to
make her will, giving to the girl, whom
she should adopt, her entire property
in trust for her cats, to include her own
maintenance on condition that she de-
vote her life to them as she had done.

The trustees declared that they could
not conscientiously commit a child to
her keeping for such purposes, and the
poor. little girl orphan, who had the
chance of devoting her life to the care
of pussy cats and kittens, to the exclu-
sion of all childish folowers, remained
in her asylum.

So Amanda to this day lives alone, and
manages as best she can. Nobody in
the village can be induced to live with‘
her; one forlorn old soul preferred the
almshouse. .

“I’d ’nough sight ruther go on the
town than live with all them cats,” she
said. ,

It is rather unfortunate that Aman-
da’s shingled cottage is next the meet-
ing house, for that, somehow, seems to
render her non-church-going more glar-
ingly conspicuous, and then, too, there
is a liability of indecorous proceedings
on the part of the cats.

They evidently do not share their mis-
tress’ dislike of the sanctuary, and find
its soft pew cushions very inviting.
They watch their chances to slink in
when the sexton opens the meeting
house; he is an old man and dim-eyed,
and they are often successful. It is wise
for anybody before taking a seat-in a
pew to make sure that one of Amanda’s
cats has not forestalled him; and often
a cat flees down one flight of the pulpit
stairs as the minister ascends the other.

We all wonder what will become of
Amanda’s cats when she dies. There is
a report that she has made her will and
left her property in trust for the cats to
somebody, but. to whom? Nobody in
this village is anxious for such a be
quest, and whoever it may be. will prob-
ably strive to repudiate it. Some day
the cats will undoubtedly go by the
board; young Henry Wilson, who has a
gun, will shoot some, the rest will be-
come aliens and wanderers, but we all
hope Amanda Todd will never know it.

In the meantime she is undoubtedly
carrying 011 among us an eccentric, but
none the less genuine mission. Ahome
missionary is Amanda Todd, and we

should recognize her as such in spite of
her non—church-going proclivities.
Weak in faith though she may be, she
is, perchance, as Strong in love as the
best of us.

Florida Indians.

“Our Indians,” says 'Dr. Brecht, 111--
ldian commissioner in the state of
Florida, “are not multiplying rapidly.
This is due to physiological and social
reasons. Still. there has been an in-
crease. In 1859 there were but 112. Now
there are something over 500. The chief

tion is the custom of counte-nancing no
marriages of persons who have a drop
of the same blood in their veins. This
is sometimes hard on the girls. One
leader I know has two beautiful daugh-
ters, who cannot get married because
the eligible young men are almost all
akin. to them."—Ghicago Chronicle.

AMONG TOYMAKERS. ‘

Mles Amena B. Edwards Tells of What She
Saw In the Homes of St. Ulrich.

In~her story of the toymakers of the
Tyrol, Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her
“Untrodden Peaks,” mentions many an
interesting visit to the homes of the
working people of St. Ulrich, where so
many toys are made.

“In one house,” runs the account,
“we found an old, old woman at work,
Magdalena Paldauf by name. She
carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats
and elephants. She has made these six
animals her whole life long, and she
has no idea how to out anything else.
She makes them in two sizes, and she
turns out as nearly as possible a. thou-
sand of them a year. She has no model
or drawing of any kind to work by, but
goes on steadily, unerringly, using
gouges of different sizes and shaping
out her cats, dogs, wolves; sheep, goats
and elephants with an ease and an
amount of truth to nature that would
be clever if it were not utterly mechan-
ical.
her mother how to carve these six ani-
mals, and her mother had learned, in
like manner, from her. grandmother.
Magdalena has now taught the art to
her own granddaughter; and so it will
go On being transmitted for genera-
tions.”

In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing at the bases of
Crucifixes, for the wood carving of
Grodner Thal is religious in its nature-
as well as amusing. In other houses
there were families that carved rock-
ing horses or dolls or other toys, and in
still other houses there‘ were families
of painters.‘

“In one house,” says the gifted
authoress, “we found about a dozen-
girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted.
only red horses with white points. It
is a. separate branch of the trade to
paint saddles and headgear. A good.
hand will paint twelve dozen horses 3'.
day, each horse being about one foot in
Iength, and for these she is paid fifty-
flfve soldi, or about two shillings three
pence English.”

 

PARTIES OF SHOPPERS..-

Accomplish Less and Try the Clerks-Mere
Than Does an Individual.

Is there any season of the year when

women. don’t “shop?”

I suppose there must be, but I declare

whenever I visit one of the mammoth.

emporiums, it is filled with the fair

ones, as-busy as bees.

They generally hunt in.- couples, or

even in threes or fours, and the shop-

men and- women rather resent this.

For, if Miss Jones is alone, she has

only one mind to make up. But a quars

tette means. four times the'work, on

so the employee have often assured

me.

For instance:

“Oh,‘ that’s: just lovely! I’ve been

looking for'that all day. Can you let

me have fourteen yards?”

A‘Yes,m'”

The shopman unrolls the silk. and
takes out hissci-ssors.
“Wait a. moment.
like that forvme?”
Jennie likesvit very much, and again
the scissors flash in the air.

"‘What do you think of it, Emma?”
Emma has her doubts, and Susie is
quite sure it won’t be becoming.

“Oh, then wait! You needn’t cut
that off. I’ll look at something else.”
The shopman pockets his scissors,
and brings out. a sigh instead, for the
bevy in time float away, and that sale
is dished.

TH E HORSELESS AGE.

Electricity Will? Soon Drive the- Useful
Animal 011' the Street.

Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, who was-
asked whether he thought the horse
was doomed, said: “I imagine that one
fine morning we will wake up with ap-
paratus ready to take us to our offices
by an automobile carriage, or, per-
chance. through the air. But in spite
of my full belief in the electric carriage
of the future I doubt whether the serv-
ices of the horse will ever be entirely
dispensed with.‘ I cannot conceive-our
active Americans adapting themselves
to the pursuit of pleasure in carriages
moved by electricity or by any other
kind of motor but the horse. What
has made the bicycle so universally
popular but. the one fact that it per—
mits of action on the part of the rider,
that it affords excitement? For‘similar
reasons the carriage horse will al-
ways have friends and admirers; his
style, action and movement cannot. be
duplicated or imitated. As to the
ordinary everyday horse, he is certain-
ly doomed- The extent to which elec-
tricity has. discredited and replaced
him 1s exemplified by the fact that it
no longer pays to breed horses» that
command but a. moderate price.”

Every Horse Its Own Doctor.

A striking instance of animal in-
stinct, or “horse sense,” is revealed by
the actions of an old horse owned by
Henry Root, a prosperous farmer of
VVissahickon, says the Philadelphia In-
quirer. Mr. Root’s horse ~.has been
troubled for months with rheumatism
of the entire body, and all the treat-
ment of learned veterinarians failed to
relieve the suffering of the animal.
One day, upon being turned into the
meadow, the horse pawed up the earth
with his hoof and stooped down to lick
up the dirt. Almost immediately the
beneficial effects were noticeable, and
ever since the rheumatic horse has
taken his daily dose of mud to the ex-
tent of nearly a half peck per day. He
is almost entirely cured.

 

 

 

Art of Chinese Bur-glare.

The Chinese burglar takes an ingre-
dient of his own, burns it and blows
the smoke through the keyhole of the
bedroom where the master of the house
is asleep. The fumes dull the senses of
the victim just enough to make him
helpless, while at the same time per-
mitting him to see and hear everything
that goes on in the room. The only
antidote against the charm' 1s pu1e wa—

Experiences of a. Young Man to Whom‘

They Took a Liking.

“I always loved bees,” said the young
man in gold-bowed glasses behind the
dairy counter as he handed down a
honeycomb for the inspection of an idle
customer, according to the New York
Sun. “When I Was on. the farm,”vhe
continued, “I could go all about the
hives and not get stung, and none of
the others dared go near the bees. We
used to have an old farmer come around
and tend to the swarms, but one day
When I was a. boy working in the fields
I heard a great humming noise up in
the air and saw a. swarm a-coming.
Well, I picked up a tin pan that was
there and hammered on it till the bees
settled on the end of a fence rail. Then

I thought I could tend to the swarm as‘

well as the old farmer, so I got an old
hive, washed it out with honey and wa-
ter, rubbed my hands and arms with
burdock juice and honey water, and
went at the bees. I got them of! that
rail by the handful and. they never
stung me. '

“After that. I regularly tended to the
bees. Whenever there was a. swarm I
rolled up my sleeves, took off my shoes
and hat, and went at them. I have
taken them from all sorts-of places, but
I was never stung only once. They’d
light on my head by the dozen and
crawl through my hair. That used to
send cold chills down by back. Some«
times my arms; were so covered? with
bees that from wrist to elbow you
couldn’t see the flesh. The one time
when I was stung} had‘found a swarm
on- a high limb and was sawing it off, and
at the same time holding on to it that it
should not 'fall to the ground with the
bees. In doing thissI- squeezed one of
the: bees. and it flew straight at my
temple and stung me just above the
eye. SinceVI left the farm the folkshave
given up the bee business. There’s no
doubtabout it, bees like some folkSLand“
hate others, and I don’t know any rea-
son for the difference.”

The Little Corpor;I-W_;s Very Fond of» tits }

Noble Animals.

In the present revival of interest in1
Napoleon, little attention has been paid:
to-his-l'ove for horses. A study of this
side of hisnature would reveal some in-

teresting facts. In Egypt Napoleon or—
deredr the'ca-pture of every horse ridden ;;
by the‘ Mamelukes where capture was '

possible. Nearly every horse taken was
shipped? to France, as many of them
were of the Arab type. One of the
ships- on-whiich some of the captured
horses-were shipped was wrecked in at-
tempting to-escape from 11. English frig-
ate. A‘~not‘her- ship on which ‘Junot
sailed‘ was captured, and Junot was
made a» prisoner. When Napoleon heard

the news, he expressed more regret for. :
the‘lossof’the horses than he did for j
that of his. favorite secretary, afters- ’

wardlmarshali of France.

The horses that arrived safely on
French soil have left their mark on the
horses of France and this country..
Their descendants can be seen every
day on the streets of New York. They
havedri-ven‘. the Clydesdales and Eng-
lishnshire horses -0ut of the Ameri-
can markets, and the smoothly turned,
trappy, rapid walking.a active Normans
and Perchenons are the result of the

capture of the horses of the Mamelukes
by Napoleon. in Egypt. Their blood
lines were sostrong that the grays pre-
dominate, and it is a common occur-
rence to see horses that weigh upwards
of" one thousand pounds with the clear-
cut head, wide throttle, sharppointed
ear and beamtiful, mild eye of the Arab

type.

 

TOO- MANY GIRLS.

What‘ They Do: in China When Such II-
the Case.

As. maid-often work, the Chinaman
haswon a; fai'rreputation; but he is un-'
doubtedlywrong on the woman ques-_
tion. A correspondent of Frank Les-

lie’s Monthly'tells of her Chinese serv-
ant’s peculiar conduct when twin girls

were born tothe household.

Sue Kung‘had been with' us three:

years, when: twin daughters blessed;
our home. He came in to look at them,

and laid a new coin on their pillows T
and. some tiny cups under the crib, and .

then asked: “Him girls or she boys?!’

We said, two: girls. His face was a.

study, and wildly waving his hands,

with the gesture of wringing the neck
one. fowl, he said:

“Too much. girlie; ling hims neck in
China. Too much girlie cost too
muchee; allee time want nice clothes.
Too much boys good, ’cause they makee
muchee money in the banks.”

' When he came in the next morning
he said: “Me likee you belly (very)
much, but. me no likee to stayvin any
place wherehim gettee two girlies allee
same time.”

He made us numerous and elegant
presents, such as beautifully embroid-
ered mantel draperies and highly col-
ored silk handkerchiefs, and some pret-
ty china trinkets and ornaments for
“them too much girlies,” and. left our
employ.

 

 

Carriage Shafts of Pulp.
New uses are being constantly found
for wood pulp, says an exchange. One
of the latest devices is the manufacture

of carriage shafts, wood pulp (in con- ,

junction with iron) being the chief ma.-
terial, with a covering of leather. Pat-

ents for the invention have been taken .

out in France, England and Belgium,
and it is claimed that the shafts are
very strong and unbreakable, a. point
regarded as important, so far as safety
of passengers is concerned These
shafts are already in use in Paris, and
they are appreciated by cab owners,
not only for their strength, but for
their comparative cheapnc ss.
