HONESTY END TRUSTFULNESS REWARDED.
S. E. Brees, of Orange, Had ani Experience Recently which
is Intensely Interesting—An
Example for Others.
From the Lake Review, Otakit, MInn.
The following account of a farmer’s re
markable experience was recently told a
reporter'by Mr. S. E. Brees, one of the oldest
settlers and most prominent farmers of the
town of Orange, Douglas County, Minn.
Mr. Brees is town clerk, haying held this
position for several years, and is a gentleman
of unimpeachable integrity and honesty.
This experience of Mr. Brees is certainly
interesting.: He says:
“ In August, 1891, . as I was on my last
day’s drive with the harvest team, I sud
denly became faint and weak. Every move
or exertion was made with an effort. I rode
home and rested a number of days but did
not obtain much relief. The top of my head
had a peculiar feeling: I could not rest or
sleep. It went on this way until I was nearly
craty. 1 had the grip, previous to this and
it left me with a severe cough and also a dull
pain about the region of the heart. I con
sulted a prominent physician and took his
medicines for about two months. Some relief
was obtained. The physician pronounced
my trouble a difficulty of the heart arising
from the after effect of the grip. My family
were alarmed about me, and for two years
they would not let me go away alone for fear
I would never get home alive. I finally con
sulted another physician. He told me the
tame as the first, but thought he could help
me. I took his medicine six months, and
for a while obtained considerable benefit,
but the old symptoms returned and I was as
bad as over.
“My wife and son finally advised me to
take Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I didn’t believe that there was any help for
me, and one day my son came home with a
box of the pills. I began taking them and
before the box was gone I felt cheerful and
easy, as my head was clear and seemed to be
rested. The pain had left my heart, and ”
could walk as spry as ever.
“ I have taken nearly five boxes and for
the past two years mv health has been steadily
improving, and now I am able to do consider
able work, both in winter and summer. To
day I weigh about fourteen pounds more than
I ever did. I have much faith in Dr. 'Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and this
is natural enough as they have alone restored
me to health and strength.
I am now 57 years old. I sleep good, the
numbness has left ;my arms, my brain is
clear; my heart beats regular, and all these
comforts and blessings 1 attribute to the use
of these pills. S. E. Bbees.”
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
20th day of April, A. D., 1897.

’Reputation.
In the “Memoir” of Lord Bramwell
is a telling illustration of the fact that
reputation clings to us, even after many
years. The great jurist as a little lad
became a pupil at Dr. Beddy’s school,
where the late Baron Channel!, three
years his senior, was head boy.
Channell read • for the law, and the
two school friends scarcely met again
until, years afterward, Mr. Channell
held a brief in a certain case at Maid
stone assizes.
Consultation with the solicitors
showed-a flaw in the pleadings drawn
by them. It was of a sort which in
those days would prove fatal to the
case. The solicitors could only hope
that it would not he discovered.
“Who is against us?” asked Chan
nel!
“Oh,” was the reply, “a Mr. Bram
well. Nobody ever heard of him- be
fore.”
“Then, gentlemen,” said the advo
cate, “we’re done. I was at school with
that gentleman. ” •
He was right. Bramwell was too
clever for them, and they were “done”
indeed.
Handling: a Cobra.
When I went to the sailor, he held
in his hand a very old and ragged rice
bag. He said, “I’ve got a fine stinging
fellow here for you.” I asked what he
meant, so he opened the bag and showed
me one of the largest and fiercest look
ing cobras I had ever seen. I obtained
a large fish globe, into which I told him
to drop the serpent, hag and all, and
then secured the top. I asked him how
he became possessed of this dangerous
creature.
“Caught it among some timber,”
said he, “on board a ship at Blackwall,
just home from India.” “And how did
you get here with it in that old rag?”
Well,” said he, “I took the train from
Blackwall and the omnibus from Fen-
church street, and he (meaning the
make) was qnite quiet all the way.”
“What do you want for it?" “Ten
shillings and my expenses.” Which I
paid. He asked me if I would take an
other if he caught it, as he had seen
one larger than the one he had brought
with him.—Bartlett’s “Wild Animals
In Captivity.”
Tnne For Tnne.
Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all mnsicians except Ante
players. He played the flute remark
ably well himself. A famous flutist
once asked permission to play to the
king, hoping that Frederick would
show his appreciation of his skill by
some valuable gift. Frederick listened
attentively while he played a difficult
piece. “You play very well,” he said,
and I will give you a proof of my sat
isfaction.”
So saying, he left the room. The mu
sician waited, guessing at the probable
nature of the “proof.” Presently the
king returned with his own flute and
played the same piece. Then he bade
his visitor “Good day,” saying, “I
have had the pleasure of hearing yon,
and it was only fair that you should
hear me.”

What does a lion weigh? . Those who
know the look of the king of beasts best
and how small his little body really is
will probably come farthest from the
truth. About 300 to 350 pounds is a
usual estimate. But a full grown lion
will tip the scales at no less than 500
pounds. Five hundred and forty pounds
is the record for an African lion. His
bone is solid and heavy as ivory.
The tiger runs the lion very close. A
Bengal tiger, killed two years ago by
an English officer, scaled 520 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, consid
erable more muscular strength than the
biggest lion.

Beautiful Viennese Women.
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is
chiefly noted for producing three things
—ccffee, music and worsen. The word
“jolly” describes the temper of- the
Viennese woman most aptly. She lives
only for today and lets the morrow take
care of- itself. She is as good a house
keeper as her German sister, but not
quite so particular. She is quite as eco
nomical, but dresses herself more artis
tically. She is just as good a mother,
hut a more loving wife. She is some
what nervous, and the quarrel with her
husband is as regular as the amen in
her-prayer. The truest and prettiest
type of the beautiful Viennese woman
is that which comes from the south. In
common with the majority of her Euro
pean sisters, the Viennese makes mar
riage her goal, hut retains her girlish
ways, her jolly spirit and much of her
beauty, and even to guess at her age is
not only a crime, but an absurdity.—

Blankets of Bark.
In Ecuador, one of the South Ameri
can republics, the hark of a tree which
grows on the slopes of the Andes is
utilized for the making of blankets.
The blanket is over six feet long and
over five feet wide and is as soft and
pliable as though it were made of flan
nel. It is about the thickness of a good
flannel blanket and can be rolled np and
put in a strap without hurting or injur
ing it.
This tree or bark blanket is merely a
strip of hark cut from a section of the
trunk of the blanket or demajagua tree.
The Indians make a cutting around the
trunk to get it, and they prepare it by
soaking it in water until it is soft. It
is then pounded so that the rough out
side can be stripped off and the inside
alone left. The inside is of fine fibers so
joined together by nature that it makes
beautiful blanket, warm enough to
be used as a cover and soft enough for
a mattress.
200‘indivldual meals, which, at the rate
of 10 cents per meal, would represent a
value of the tidy sum of $547,801,920.
The contract was carried out for the
four years of the hoys’ student life,
when it really drove the hotel man from
business, as reckoned on a basis of $2
per week per student the hotel man bad
lost $8,992, while the students bad only
eaten 52,416 individual meals and had
still a credit of 5,748,966,784 meals, or
enough to give them three meals a day

Everything Leaks.
Ordinary tumblers will hold water
.because the globules of water are too
big to squeeze through the glass. But
glass is as full of holes as a sponge, and
air blows right through it, because the
specks of air are smaller than the holes.
Put a bell into a big globe of glass,
seal up the vessel, pump out all the air,
then ring the bell inside, and you hear
nothing. There is not air enough in the
globe to carry a sound. But lay the
globe aside for a mouth or so, and no
matter how carefully you have sealed
up the neck you will find that you then
can hear the bell when you ring it. Air
has got into that globe—enough any
way to carry a sound has leaked ia
through the substance of thb glass:
The ordinary incandescent lamp is a
glass globe with the air pumped out,
and after a few months sufficient air
leaks through to dim the light which
comes from the thread of electrified
charcoal inside.
We can make plenty of vessels to
hold water, bnt nothing has been made
which will hold air without any leak
age. The air sneaks in through holes
which are too small for the human mind
to imagine.
In fact, everything leaks.—Answers.

Poison Hemlock.
Water hemlock is a deadly plant com
mon in most country neighborhoods.
Its roots are eaten often in spring by
mistake for some edible root, and death
frequently results. Cattle are often poi
soned by drinking water in marshes
where it grows.
The poison hemlock . from which the
Greeks made poisons is a near relative
•to the water hemlock. It stands from
two to seven feet high and has clusters
of small white flowers and large, pars-
leylike leaves. The stalk, being hollow,
is often made into whistles by country
boys, and many children are poisoned in
this fashion.
Mixed Berries.
A young tailor named Berry, lately
succeeded to his father’s business, once
sent in his account to Charles Matthews
somewhat ahead of time, whereupon
Matthews, with virtuous rage, wrote
him the following note:
“You must be a goose—Berry to send
me your bill—Berry, before it is due—
Berry. Your father, the elder—Berry,
would have had more sense. You may
look very black—Berry, and feel very
blue—Berry, hut I don’t care a straw—
Berry for you and your hill—Berry.”—

Salt For Small Change.
Besides the Maria Theresa 1780 dollars
the people of Abyssinia for small change
use a bar of hard crystallized salt, about
lOinches long and 3K inches broad and
thick, slightly tapering toward the end,
five of which go to the dollar at the
capita! It is a token of affection among
the natives when friends meet to give
to each other a lick of their r elective
bars, and in this way the material val
ue of the salt is also decreased.

A Lesson In Patience.
When the eminent botanist Professor
Aitman of Glasgow was a small boy,
he had the present of a silver bit,
whereupon his mother was so worried
with questions as to what he should do
with it that she exclaimed, “Beally,
you had better go to Thomas Elliot’s (a
well known pharmacist) and buy six
pence worth of patience. ”
Down the street marched the lad and
demanded of the chemist, “Mr. -Elliot,
please give me sixpence worth of pa
tience. ”
Mr. Elliot, taking in the situation at
a glance, said: “Certainly, my boy;
there’s a chair. Jnst sit down and wait
till you get it. ”
Professor Aitman’s endeavor to pur
chase patience was a great success. It
made a deep impression on the lad and
was one of the factors of his snccess in
life.
A Soldier’s Blanket.
This story, told of Sir Ealph Aber
crombie, the victor of Aboukir, shows
that even in death he did not forget
consideration for others. After the bat
tle at which he was mortally wounded
he was carried on board a ship, and a
soldier’s blanket was placed udder his
head to ease it. He felt the relief and
asked what it was.
“Only a soldier’s blanket, ” was the
reply.
“Whose blanket is it?”
“Only one of the men’s.” ~
“I wish to know the name of the
man.”
“It is Duncan Boy’s, of the Forty-
second, Sir Ralph,”
“Then see, ” said the dying genera!
“that Duncan Boy gets his blanket
this very night.”
