ton Store. Mrs. Saunders dropped her
favorite paper and ran for her bicycle,
’at the same time calling for her son
Howard to accompany her. The latter
was a little slow in getting his wheel
and when he reached the Connecticut
turnpike he saw his mother’s divided
skirts flopping in the wind near the Ar-
mory hill. Howard reached the crest
of the hill in time to see his mother de-
scend at a two minute clip. He fol-
lowed as fast as he could but did not
overtake her until the Boston Store was
reached,
covered with mud and near dead from
exhaustion. Mrs. Saunders presented
her ticket and this morning she re-
ceived the $25111 gold, having selected
cash in lieu of the coal. Howard is wil-
ling to wager his mother broke all pre-
vious records over the Turnpike to the
Boston Store.

to the improvements at these two points
were then rescinded and the freeholders
discharged.- A resolution was then

How to Cure :1 Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be 1n :1 most miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps to bring about a. speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the many good recom-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted
like magic and the result was a speedy and
permanent cure. -—-The Banner of Liberty,

BLlND,‘ BUT DON’T MIND IT.
Bliss Fannie Crosby Devotes Her Life to
the Writing of Hymns.
Brooklyn has been the home of many
men and women whose names are
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Among all these
celebrities few are better known by
their Works or more beloved by the
masses of the people than Miss Fannie
Crosby, whose hymns are sung in the
churches and homes of every State in
the Union.
No one would think, to see the cheer-
ful face of the woman, that she was
totally blind, had, in fact, been sight-
less since early childhood. Miss Crosby
has borne her affliction without com-
plaining, and even looks upon it as
being for the best, for it has enabled
her to concentrate all her abilities upon
the composing of hymns.
When delivering an address a few
years ago she spoke of the joy that
should be 11ers and a blind friend’s
then present, when they should be
called home, and for the first time
view aface, that of their Saviour and
their God.
Miss Crosby has devoted her ener-
gies almost exclusively to hymn writ-
ing, over four thousand hymns and
poems bearing her signature. She com-
poses more readily at night, and most
of her work is done at that time. In-
the morning she will go over it in her
mind until all the lines rue smooth and
111ythmical, and then dictate to an
amanuensis.
She writes on an average eight
hymns a week and has written many
Easter services, Christmas carols and
runtatas. She is peculiarly fitted for
her work, as she knows the Scriptures
almost by heart, and passages suit-
able to every phrase of religious ex-
is: rivncc come readily to her mind.

JANSEN’S SAD JOURNEY.
Suffering, Peril, and Death on Greenland’i
Bleak Shores.
Jan Jansen, after almost four years.
of .1dventu1e and hard luck, returned
to the United States on the steamship
Portia from Halifax.
Jansen, who is a native of Denmark.
and is about 30 years old, sailed from
New Lendon on July 7, 1892, as the
mate of a whaling expedition sent to
Davis Strait by Wrightington &
Clisby. Captain Clisby, a famous
Nantucket whaler, commanded the ex-
pedition. He was killed by an acci-
dent at Cumberland Gulf last August.
The party sailed on the ship Era of
New London. She landed them and
their two years’ supply of stores at
Cape Haven, Davis Strait, in good
time for the fall whaling. Captain
Clisby and‘Mate Jansen had no white
companions. They hired a crew of
thirty Eskimos, with the necessary
dogs and sleds.
The station was already built for
them by a New London expedition that
went out in 1886, which VVrightington
and Clisby had bought out. They were
to hunt whales in small whaleboats,
and, having secured them, to tow them
into the st.1tion,whe1e the try- -out and
removal of the whalebone could be
done conveniently.
Duling the first fall and winter the
men took no whales; they had
troubles in plenty. When they went
to Cape Haven they found there an
American named Duval. Jansen said
Duval Was not a trader nor an agent
of any firm. ,
He lived up there in a country
where the snow covers the ground
nine months of the year simply be-
cause he liked it. It pleased Duvul to
leave Captain Clisby’s camp about two
months after'he had been first gem-
ployed there. Early in January an Es‘
kimo came into the station with a note
from Duval for Captain Clisby, beg-
ging for help. Duval wanted to come
back to the camp as cook. He was then
twenty miles to the northwest of the
Clisby party.
“I took a sled and some dogs and
a native," said Jansen, “and started
out to take him the things he needed
most and to bring him back. It took
us three days to get to Duval. He was
very weak. When we were about a
third of the way the dogs gave out.
Next Duval gave out and we built a
snow house and put him in it. The
native and I tried to hurry along to get
a relief party. I was no good. Finally
I told the native to go on. A little af«
ter he had gone‘the ice broke up and
the piece I was on floated away. It
was open sky and ice, and I was 011]:
for six days and five nights with noth-
ing at all to eat. When the ice closed
up again I tried to travel inland. I
met the relief party of four, two for
each man, that had been sent out after
Duval and myself.
“They took me to the station. On
the third day Captain Clisby decided
to amputate my toes and the heel of
my right foot. Almost all the flesh
on my feet had to go, too. He had
four instruments, a razor, a, fine saw,
made from a piece of watch spring, a
file, a butcher’s ‘backsaw,’ and.a car-
penter’s chisel. Every surgeon who
has seen my feet since says that with
the best instruments in a hospital the
operation could not have been done
better.”
The second year and the third were
equally improfitable. Mr. Jansen re-
covered sufiiciently to be able to trump
thousands of miles across the frozen
fields after deer, bears, foxes, and
other A’rctic game, camping night after
night in snow huts hundreds of miles
from the station. The men went down
to the Scotch stations at Cumberland
Gulf in 1894 and ordered fresh supplies
from Scotland. During the last year
they made up their total to 250 barrels
of oil and an even ton of whalebonc,
besides a lot of furs.
Captain Clisby was in a hurry to
come home, and went down to the
Scotch stations in August. While out
salmon spcaring with Dr. Perkins, a
missionary, and Mr. Hall, the head of
the Scotch stations, and four natives,
the main-boom of the boat got caught;
1111 except Captain Clisby were thrown
into the water. He went forward,
freed the boom, and attempted to un-
step the must. The mast fell upon
him, breaking his neck instantly. The
others were drowned in sight of the
station.
Mr. Jansen came down to St. John s,,
Newfoundland, with the 1"etu1ning
Peary expedition.
Overreached Himself.
That story of u Caribou potato raiser
who refused an offer of 48 cents a bar-
rel for eleven barrels of potatoes, de-
claring that he would have $5 01' noth-
ing for the load, is matched by a yarn
that comes from Grand Lake Stream
of 51 1111111 who recently went after a
calf that he had pastured out all sum-
mer, and asked what he owed for the
posturing. “Well,” says the farmer,
“I've got :1 bill of $7 against you, but
I will take the calf and call it settled,
provided you are willing.” “No, sir,”
was the answer. “I will not do that,
but .I will tell you what I will do: You
keep the calf two Weeks longer, and
you can have l1er.”—Lewiston Journal.
\Vliat Hurt Him.
“A man who isn’t his own physician
at forty is a fool,” said the great Dr.
Aberneth y, and the remark has a
measure of truth. Experience ought
to teach us what we can do and what
we can eat, but it does not always, as b
in the following case:
Thus, according to the Roxbury Ga— '1
zette, a man ate three cucumbers, a
few radishes, a saucerful of currents,
and drank a glass of ice water, and
then went to bed. The next day he
said to a friend:
“Well, I have learned one thing a
person has no right to drink water just
before retiring.”
