IN BED THIRTY-NINE YEARS.
A Healthy Woman’s Strange Resolution,
, Made in 1838.
“Thir. bed is the most comfortable
place in the world,” remarked an
Englishwoman in 1858. “I shall stay
here the rest of my natural life.”
The woman'who made this remark
able statement was a spinster and
she lived at Teignmouth, in Devon
shire, England. She kept her word,
and for nearly forty years she stayed
in bed. She was thirty-eight years old
when she made the assertion.
She had retired to bed the night be
fore in the best of health and there
was no seeming reason why she should
not have arisen the next morning.
Bnt she concluded that she would re
main where she was, and her relatives
concluded that it would be best to
humor her wlum. So she stayed in
bed and her meals were taken to her.
The bed she occupied was in a room
upstairs, and for two years she stayed
there. Then she was removed to a
room on a lower floor, where she
could watch the front door and the
yard. She had a series of mirrors ar
ranged so that she could see the en
trance to the house and the entire
yard, and she was thus able to know
what was going on. Her hearing be
came abnormally acute, and she could
hear noises that were inaudible to
other residents of the house.
Her mother and father died and she
still remained in bed. She becamo
owner of the small estate, and sho
managed it with skill and judgment,
but she adhered to her determination
of remaining in bed. She died last
week at the age of seventy-seven.
The doctors who held the autopsy said
that her lungs and heart were sound,
and that had she lived the usual life
she would have been good for ten or
fifteen years longer. She ate usual
meals all of the forty years, took no
medicine, and there was no apparent
change in her constitution until a few
months before her death.—New York

Fish as Food.
Fish is regarded by Sir Henry
Thompson as in many cases a prefer
able food to meat. In Food and Feed
ing he thus expresses his views on the
subject r
“For the sedentary man, whatever
liis calling in life, whose engagements
permit only just that moderate
amount of muscular exercise which is
in all circumstances essential to
health; for a great proportion of
women whose habits mostly are not,
and often cannot be active, the nutri
tive elements afforded by fish admir
ably supply an important part of the
body's wants. The moderate amount
of flesh-forming material present in
fish, and in a form which entails little
labor on the digestive organs (for
most persons eat less fish than meat),
and’the facility with which fish may
be associated with other elements —
some fatty matters, with cereals and
vegetables, ns well as fruits—-place it
in the first rank of foods in that mixed
dietary which is so suitable to those
who lead more or less the kind of life
referred to. I by no means say that it
should supersede the use of meat alto
gether, although it may do sometimes
with advantage—a point only to be
dete>! mined in each individual instance
after some observation and experi
ment. For in all cases it is to be re
membered that no man who has hab
itually eaten meat two or three times
daily can at once exchange it for fish
and cereals or vegetables without some
■discomfort, to say the least. All radi
cal changes in diet, even in the right
direction, require to be gradually
made. The stomach conforms slowly
when long accustomed to deal with
highly uitrogenized animal food, to
the task of deriving from unaccus
tomed materials the support neces
sary to the body.”
The Location.
“Where was the prince wounded?”
asked the friend of one of the seconds
in n political duel.
“Where was he wounded?” repeated
the second absently, as be looked up
from a mass of manuscript. “If lam
not mistaken, it was about the begin
ning of the last paragraph in the sec
ond column.”—Washington Star.
Do we Need Big Muscles?
By iff means. Persons of herculean build fre
quently possess a minimum of genuine vigor,
and exhint less endurance than very small
peoj'e. Real vigor means the ability to ditreat
and sleep well, and to perform a reasonable
amount of dally physical and mental labor
without unnatural fatigue. It is because a
course of llostotter’s Stomach Bitters enables
tho enfeebled dyspeptic to resume the allotted
activity of every day life, as well as to partici
pate without discomfort in its enjoyments, that
it is such a pre-eminently useful medicine.
“I can’t part with that,” said the baid headed
man as he put the comb back in his pocket.

The Blue and the Gray.
Both men and women are apt to feel a little
blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It's
a very natural feeling. In the normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanced age.
They have no business whitening the head of
man or woman, who has not begun to go
down the slope of life. Asa matter of fact,
the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of
life’s seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by
sickness, but more often from lack of care.
When the hair fades or turns gray there’s no
need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color
of the hair is restored and retained by the use of

Story of a Man Who Was Given I p to
Die by Seven Physicians—He Fol
lows tlie Atlvlofl of a Friend
and Is Now a Well Man **
—A Wonderful Story.
From the Leader, Morrisville, A. V.
“Yonder Is a man,” said the farmer to a
reporter, “who is the talk of this commu
nity.”
“He is Mr. William Woodman, of South
Hamilton, Madison Cos., N. Y.,” a well-to
do farmer, who is well known and stands
high for honesty and thrift in this neigh
borhood.
On the following day the newspaper man
called on Mr. Woodman in his comfortable,
old-fasliloned farm house.
“I have had serious thoughts of writing
an account for the newspapers myself, *’
said Mr. Woodman, “but as I am not ac
customed to such work', I have never at
tempted it. Bit down and I will tell you
all about it.
“I am fifty-nine years old. I contracted
rheumatism when only fourteen years of
age, then a severe cold from over exertion
and from becoming over heated. My father
was a farmer and insisted that the only way
to make me strong was to do plenty of hard
work. When, however, he saw me helpless
in bed for six loDg months without being
able to move except with help, he changed
his mind, and forever after believed that
children should not be made to do men’s
work. My growth was stopped by suffer
ing, and I do not think I am an Inch taller
than that day, forty-five years ago. Dur
ing the forty years onsuing after my mis
fortune, I was attended by seven doctors.
I received temporary relief at times, from
new forms of treatment, but always ’re
lapsed into a worse and more aggravated
condition. The conclusion of ail these
gentlemen was that I was incurable, and
ail they could do was to ease my condition.
After I grew to manhood I married and
have been blessed with a family. My dear
wife has had all the drudgery of nursing
and waiting upon me, and the burden has
been indeed hard to bear.
“Without hope from physicians I began
to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which was
highly recommended by my friends. I took
them and within one week began to feel
better than I had since I was first afflicted.
I took these pills according to directions,
and when the box was nearly gone I went
over to Brookfield to an old friend who
was in the drug business, named Dr. Aure
! lius Fitch, who likewise was a great suffer
er from rheumatism. The doctor and I or
dered several boxes of Pink Pills in part
nership, he from that time keeping them
on sale. Well, I continued to take them
according to directions for the next three
years and steadily improved, gaining flesh
and strength, until two years ago I was
able to discontinue them, and now am as
able bodied a man of my years as you will
find. I ought to tell you that after I or
dered the first box of pills the physician
who was then attending me came in and I
told him what I was doing. Ho said I was
very foolish, that, they would surely injure
me, and it was his duty to tell me so. I
told the doctor that I might as well die as
to drag out a miserable existence, and so,
notwithstanding his warnings, continued
to take tho pills. Thank God the doctor
was not able to dissuade me, for to them I
now ascribe nil the comfort and happiness
I have in this world. I have recommended
them to hundreds of people since I was
cured, and in every case they have been
effective, not only in rheumatism but in
numerous other disorders, especially im
poverishment of tho blood, heart trouble
and kidnoy disease.
“I certify the above statement to be true,
and if necessary will swour to the same be
fore a Notary Public.”
William Woodman.
When Mr. Woodman had signed and de
livered the above paper to tho reporter, he
said: “If I were you I would go and call on
Mr. Amos Juquays, at Columbus Centre, to
whom I recommended Dr. Williams’ rink
Pills for aggravated kidnoy disease. He is
now r in perfect health. I have no doubt he
will bo glad to testify to the efficacy of the
remedy that cured him.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Tills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They arc for sale by’ all druggists,
or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for
50c. per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
Reading as a Mental Stimulus.
An eminent French critic said in a
lecture recently in New York that
“to distrust what we like is the first
requisite of progress in art and in
life.” He did not meal; that books
that are disagreeable are the only
books worth reading. But he dill
mean that a book which opens up a
new field of knowledge, anew outlook
upon literature or life, is not at first
likely to give the pleasure that comes
from one which simply reflects the
old familiar ideas of which we say
complacently, “How good and true
that is, for I’ve felt it or said it my
self.” A book that pats you on the
head or heart all the time is apt to be
little more than a reflection of your
own narrow experience, and yon will
not learn anything from it. A book
that makes one feel ignorant is as
mortifying to one’s pride as a superior
person.—“Droch” in Ladies’ Home
Journal.

A stylish little frock for a girl cJ
eight, writes May Manton.-is made of
silk and wool novelty, showing a
ground of deep blue lined with red.
FROCK FOR A CUM, OF EIGHT YEARS.
The plain or contrasting material is
red taffeta and the buttons are smoked
pearl. The foundation consists of
well-fitted lining that is simply shaded
by shoulder, under-arm seams and
single bust-darts. The material is ap
plied to the front at yoke depth, and
the full front is gathered at upper and
lower edges and adjusted over the lin
ing to fall in soft blouse effect over the
narrow belt. The side-fronts of nov
elty show fulness at the upper and
lower edges, and are also slightly
blouse. The back fits smoothly across
the shoulders with a scant fulness at
MISSES’ FRENCH BLOUSE WAIST.
the waist at each side of the centre
back where the closing is effected with
button and buttonholes.
A wide sailor collar falls across the
back, and is carried forward to the top
of the yoke front. Bevers that are
widest at the top and gradually taper
toward the lower edge finish the front
edges of the side-fronts, forming an
effective decoration; a plain standing
band finishes the neck. The sleeves
are two-seamed, and fit the arm com
fortably close from the wrist to above
the elbow, where they are met by short
puffs of the material. The skirt has a
front gore, wide side gores and a
straight back that is closely gathered
at the upper edge and sewed to the
belt, the pla’cket finishing in the cen
tre-back.
All seasonable fabrics are suitable,
plaid, striped, figured and novelty
goods combining prettily with plain
materials, such as cashmere, challies,
etc., or with silk.
To make this frock for a girl of eight
years will require three and one-half
yards of forty-four-inch material and
one and one-quarter yards of twenty
two-inch material for trimming.
Misses’ French Blouse Waist.
The stylish waist shown in the large
illustration, fashioned in figured
barege, showing a full vest and back
gimp of surah, is suitable for a young
miss. Narrow black velvet ribbon
provides the decoration, and a fine
divided frill of lace finishes the neck.
The foundation consists of a glove
fitted lining, with the usual number
of seams and single bust darts enter
ing into the adjustment. It closes in
visibly at the centre back. The be
coming fullness of the vest or front is
disposed in gathers at the neck edge
and at the waist. The side fronts,
which are included in the shoulder
and under-arm seams, fit smoothly at
the top, with the slight fullness at the
waist laid in forward-turning plaits.
Smooth under-arm gores separate the
fronts from the backs, which are
smooth at the top, where they are cut
in low, rounding outlines, showing a
gathered yoke of surah above. At
each side of the closing the backs have
a slight fuflness, arranged in close,
overlapping plaits, The upper edges
of the side fronts are also rounded,
presenting the gimp effect that is a
feature of the season’s style and be
coming to all youthful figures. The
neck is completed by a standing band,
Burmdanted by full ruohe of lace.
The two-seamed sleeves have short
puffs and are finished at the wrists in
Venetian” style.
Challies, cashmere, novelty and can
vas weaves will make up prettily in
combination with silk, surah, mous
seline, chiffon or crepe-de-Chine, form
ing the vest and back yoke. The free
edges may be trimmed with either rib
bon, braid or passementerie.
To make this dress for a miss of
fourteen years will require two and
one-quarter yards of forty-four-inch ma
terial.
Fashions in Holts.
White leather belts with oxidized
silver clasps are very popular with
light summer frocks. Many of them
are extravagant affairs, having, be
sides the clasps, handsome silver orna
ments applied at intervals. The latest
belts mentioned from abroad are said to
show tortoises of turquoise; these are
formed with links of oxidized silver.
Very narrow belts of light-lined croco
dile leathers are adorned with studs of
oolored enamels, but ribbons are used
in preference to anything else by many,
for they fit so much more snugly than
leather and tie so gracefully. For the
moment cheek ribbons are being ex
tensively patronized.
An Elaborate Bicycle Suit.
There was recently placed with a
fashionable New York tailor an order
for a bicycle suit which in the matter
of expense is likely to hold the record
for some time. The girl who meets the
bill is worth a million in her own right,
is an athletic beauty and is a reigning
belle in the ultra smart set. The suit
which makes the bill is the most elabo
rate ever designed in this country. It
is lined with silk, finished with jewels
and will cost a lump sum of $715.50.
Two shawls at $75 apiece will be em
ployed in making tho skirt and jacket,
A Curious Toilet.
A rather curious toilet was worn at
a recent garden party in Paris by
Princess Storbey, composed of three
skirts one above the other; the first was
rose-eolored silk chiffon, the second
mauve chiffon and the third Mechlin
lace; the shades'thus softened were ex
quisitely beautiful, the bodice to match
had an unlined yoke, embroidered with
silver spangles, sash scarf of mauve
chiffon falling on the skirt.
A Four-Piece Skirt.
Figured dimity, showing violet and
white, was the material chosen for this
stylish skirt, that is admirably adapted
for present wear, as the back breadth
is straight, making it easy to launder
when fashioned in wash fabrics. The
sides display a slight ripple effect on
each side of the gored front, the
straight back breadth falling in grace
ful folds from gathers at the top. The
placket finishes in centre-back and the
top is completed with a narrow belt.
The skirt is of moderate width, meas
uring only about four yards at the
foot. The mode is adapted to all sea
sonable dress goods, including duck,
pique, grass linen, madras, cheviot,
lawn, gingham, and other cotton sum-

mer suitings. It can be decorated, as
illustrated, with narrow lace-edged
ruffles or bauds of ribbon.
To make this skirt for a woman of
medium size will require four and one
lialf yards of forty ; four-inch material.
L.ace Overdresses.
.The fashion of wearing lace over
dress or lace applique for trimmings is
universal across the water. One ex
tremely fetching gown is of black net
with an applique of cream lace all over
it; it is mounted on white glace silk to
bring out a delightful sheen. A linen
bodice has a bolero of cream lace.

Remarkable Magic Entertainment.
At the brilliant private entertain
ments not long ago given by M. Kadi
quet, a French lover of the magic of
science, the guests entered a room
furnished with nothing more mys
terious than a cloth-covered appar
atus seemingly like a magic lantern,
The room contained a chandelier of
glass and flowers in glass and porce
lain vases.
The lights were extinguished as in
an ordinary spiritual seance, when a
crackling-sound was heard, a luminous
hand moved slowly up and down
above the audience, luminous violins
danced about, a phosphorescent glow
swung in the air like a pendulum, and
a luminous bell rang. A mirror sud
denly blazed up, the vases and the
chandelier glowed and the whole room
glowed with a phosphorescent light.
As all became dark again, a phosphor
escent decanter appeared suspended
in the centre of the room, a pale blue
tray came below it, a shining glass
placed itself on the tray, a spoon and
sugar basin followed, phosphorescent
pieces of sugar moved singly from the
basin and dropped into the glass, and
the spoon stirred the sugar. This ap
parition in turn disappeared. Next, a
pale-greenish human form came out
before a velvet curtain, then vanished
in fragments, the bust disappearing
first. Finally a luminous bouquet
blossomed into view in the centre of
the room labeled with the explanation
“X-Rays.” The phenomena all de
pended upon the properties of the
Roentgen rays, which cause certain
substances, like glass, and especially
objects covered with barium plantino
cyanide, to become luminous, while
other objects, like the hand moving
the decanter, remain invisible. —Tren-

Hiking on the Ceiling.
A daring bicyclist who rides head
downward, suspended from the ceil
ing, is the latest freak of the magicians
of°wheeling. This clever wheelman
chooses a ceiling seventy-five feet
above the floor for a track and calmly
drives his wheel about, now here, now
there, like a human fly.
This wonderful expert for a long
time past has been noted as one of the
most skillful trick bicycle riders.
A huge disc, covered with rubber,
or some similar substance, is affixed
to the ceiling of the hall where he per
forms.
Set about half an inch apart along
the circumference of both tires of his
bicycle are what appear to be tiny cups
of rtlbber.
When the bicycle is placed in posi
tion, with the w’heels on the lower sur
face of the big disc and the saddle
downward, the purpose of these little
cups is evident. As each cup comes
in contact with the rubber flooring of
the disc the air is forced out of it and
the suction which results holds the
machine iu place and prevents it fall
ing.

Luck, like lightning, strikes in curi

Mrs. J. T. Willis was less than three
months ago a poor washwoman, living
in Dawson City. She set out alone
for the gold fields of the frozen North
from Tacoma, Wash., about two years
ago. She was not successful in her
prospecting, but she managed to make
a fair living as a laundry-Woman in
Dawson City When the news of the
Klondike discoveries of gold reached
that place she joined a party of cattle
men, and went at once to the new dig
gings. Sho staked out a claim as soon
as she got there, and it turned out to
be a good one. She is now worth at
last $250,000. Mrs. Willis has a hus
band living in Tacoma. He is a black
smith and a great sufferer from rheu
matism. It was his inability to work
that caused her to start out for the
gold-mining country, resolved to re

she has the fame of introducing the
first “boiled shirt” among the Yukon
miners. She paid $2.50 for the box
of starch with which she starched it
and $4 a day and board to the Indian
squaw who was her first assistant in
the laundry.
In Honor of Betsy Ross,
A memorial in honor of Betsy
Ross, who made the first American
(lag, has long been lacking, and the
patriotic public will undoubtedly join
heartily in the movement which is
now inaugurated by the Patriotic Sons
of America and the Junior Order
United American Mechanics to erect
such a memorial, patriots all over the
country being requested to lend theii
aid and support to the plan. This
honor to the memory of the good dame
Ross would be most appropriate, and
Fairmount Park would be a fitting
place in which to place the proposed
memorial. As the kind of memorial
has not yet been determined upon, a
suggestion is not out of order. Why
do not these patriotic societies raise a
fund and purchase the house in which
the first American flag was made and
have it removed to some appropriate
spot in the park? No more fitting
honor could be paid the memory of
Betsy Ross than the preservation of
her old homestead for all future gen
erations. A valuable historical edi
fice, in which the whole nation is in
terested, would be saved from
destruction at the same time by this
plan.---Philadelphia North American.

To all women who are ill:—It af
fords me great pleasure to tell you of
the benefit I have derived from tak
ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I can hardly find words to
express my gratitude for the boon
given to suffering women in that ex
cellent remedy. Before taking the
sicians and gradually grew worse.
About a year ago I was advised bv a
friend to try Mrs. Pinkham's Sanative
Wash and Vegetable Compound, which
I did. After using three bottles of
the Vegetable Compound and one pack
age of Sanative Wash, I am now enjoy
ing better health than I ever did. and
attribute the same to your wonderful
remedies. I cannot find words to ex
press what a Godsend they have been
to me.
Whenever I begin to feel nervous and
ill, I know I have a never-failing phy
sician at hand. It would afford me
pleasure to know that my words had
directed some suffering sister to health
and strength through those most ex
cellent remedies. —Miss May Sachneb,

*' The Supreme Court of Tenneatee on June 80 de
elded the most important trade-mark case that hue
ever be n tried in that State and one of the largest
ever tried la the Union, affirming and enlarging tho
opinion of the court below. The court he.d;
1. That Dr. M. A. Simmons, the predecessor of
complainant, by extensive advertising of his cele
brated remedy known as “Simmons Liver Medi
cine," made it a standard remedy for liver diseases
long pri >r to the acquisition by J. XL Zoiiin ft Cos. off
any rights.
2. That the assignor of J. H. Zeilin & Cos., throngll
whom they claimed the right to make tho fraudulent
gaclrages enjoined, never derived any title from A. Q.
immons to mako the medicine nor to use hit nami
or picture, and that such use by Zeilin & Cos. Is a
fraud upon the public, and is therefore enjoined.
8. That Zeilin & Cos. purposely, fraudulently la
beled their medicine in imitation of complain Ant'a
medicine to unfairly appropriate tho trario r f the
Bimmons Medicine Company, find tho executionot
this fraudulent purpose and act is enjoined.
4. Enjoined Zeilin & Cos. from using their com
petitor’s trade-name, trade-marks, or symbols, or
Imitations thereof, to deceive tho public and unfairly
appropriate to themselves the trade ot the C. F.
Bnnmons Medicine Cos.
6. Enjoined Zeilin ft Cos., from deceiving and
practicing a fraud upon tho public by labeling their
packages in imitation of the wrappers and trade
marks of the complainant.
6, Enjoined Zeilin & Cos. from the manufacture
and sale of the medicine under tho name of “Sim
mons Liver Medicine," or “Dr. Simmons Liver
Medicine," or “Liver Medicine by A. Q. Simmons,"
and from Q9ing the picture of A. Q. Simmons la
connection therewith.
7. Enjoined Zeilin & Cos., their assignees, agents
and employes from deceiving and practicing a fra and
apon the public by the sale of packages thus falsely
labeled, either upon orders or calls for tho genuine
“Simmons Liver Medicine" of complainant, or
in any package thus falsely labeled.
8. The court stated that it was the purpose of the
Court to entirely destroy tho fraudulently labeled
packages above described, and cause their removal
from the market, and ordered Zoiiin ft Cos. to deliver
to the clerk to be destroyed, all cuts, dies, electro
types, ongravings and other paraphernalia used ia
impressing either of the above names or the picture
ot A. Q. Simmofs.
0. Decreed that Zeilin & Cos. pay all tho damages
which have accrued to complainant by the sale of
these fraudulently laboled packages. The damages
claimed by complainant were $50,(K0.
10. Decreed that Zeilin ft Cos. pay all the costs.
Which amount to several thousand dollars, tho record
being one of the largest ever filed ia the Supreme
Court. *' ■ -
Cheap Medicine*
Asa rule, ‘‘cheap medicine" is inert, worthless. OP
dangerous. In Zeilin ft Co.’s answer to our bill they
said the packages enjoined were designed as “cheap
negro medicine for the negroes of the Mississippi
Valley." Now, asZeilinft Co.’s advertisements say.
and their manager swore, that nil the liver medicine
which they mako is made by the same formula, is tLis
not cosclusivo evidence from their sworn testimony
and advertisements, that all the liver medicine eman
atir.gfrom them is “Cheap Negro Medicine?" Ques
tion: Do the sick of America desire “Cheap Negro
Medicine?" Let the afflicted answer by their
future purchases. Dr. M. A. Simmons' Liver
Medicine, established in IH4O, is not "cheap medi
cine." It is “no cure all," and is only recom
mended for those indisposiu one caused by inactivity
of the liver. .
