Stricken With Partial Paralysis He Was Unable to Use Either Right Arm or Right Leg. Mr. John Craig, a well known far- mer living near Kells, Nipissing dis- trict, Ont., is another of the Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Craig gives his..experience as follows ,--*'But for the blessing of God and the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills I do not be- lieve T was stricken with that affliction, partial Paralysis, I had absolutely no power_in my right arm or leg. I was not able to sit up--in fact if I tried to do so I would fall over. I had to be lifted like a child, and my family and friends believed death was ve The doctor told me that he could do nothing for me, and that I was liable at any moment to have a second stroke which would carry me off. I was in this deplorable condition when I was adv Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I sent for three boxes and be- fore they were all used I could move the fingers on my hand, which had hitherto been absolutely numb and powerless. You can scarcely ine my joy at this ceavincthe proof that the pills were helping me. From this on I kept getting stronger and the control of my paralyzed limbs gradually came back until I was again able to walk about and oeven- tually to work. To my neighbors my cure seems like a miracle, as not one of them ever expected to see me out of bed again. I gladly give per- mission to publish the story of my cure with the wish that it may bring life and hope and activity to some other sufferer.' The cure of Mr. Craig gives addi- tional evidence that Dr. Williams PinkPills are not an ordinary medi- cine, and that their power to cure in all troubles of the blood or nerves places them beyond all other medi- tines. You can get got these pills from any medicine dealer or direct by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

This is a very delicious fruit to can, is easily prepared and very scl- dom spoils. They should be dead ripe, and this is determined by pull- ing on the spines at the top of the fruit. If they come out readily the fruit is in a fit stage to be eaten. They are usually 90 cents and $1 per dozen at this season of the year, and one dozen fine pineapples will fill fifteen pint cans and have sufficient syrup. Begin. at the large end and pare them all-over, not stopping to a out the oyes until all are pared. sharp pointod knife is best for coing over them the second time. When all are ready commence slicing from the outside toward the center. You will find a sort of pith or woody but the pulp will cleave away this, for it has no value whatever. Put the fruit in a preserving kettle with sufficient water to just cover nicely. Cover closely and let boil gently for about half an hour, or un- til it is easily pierced with a fork. Usually one teacupful of sugar to a pint can is enough, but depends largely upon what degree of sweet- ness the family likes. Let this sim- mer for another half hour, when the fruit will be clear, something like citron preserves Be sure that the rubbers are new, the tops in good condition, and the cans perfectly clean and sweet, and there will be no trouble with the keeping. Pineapples are quite an inexpen- sive fruit for everyday use on the table. Should be prepared in the forenoon if desired for supper, cutt- ing it in fan-shaped piecegy and sprin- kling with powdered or fruit sugar, then cover closely and set in the ice box. It will mako its own juice, and when one is fond of it it is delicious.

To wash white or cream lice make a suds of white soap and tepid wa- ter, adding a solution of borax in the proportion of a teaspoonful of the powder to a cup of water. It will be necessary to dissolve the bor- ax in boiling water. Cool the liquid before using it. Baste the lace on a Piece of white flannel. To two quarts of suds put the one cupful of borax water. Put the lace in it and leave over night. In the morning remove the flannel with the lace from the water and rinse in sev- eral waters without squecing it. Tack it on a board to dry and put it out in the sun. To take the dead ) white color off lace, coffee or saffron may be used if a yellow tint is de- sired. The best starch for lacc is made by @issolving one-fourth ounce of gum arabic in a cup of water. Strain the liquid through a cloth. You can wash the newer laces, they are much soiled. by wearing in the necks of dresses, by making a Warm pearline suds and washing lightly in your hands.

"TI tell you,' contended Smithson, Lin the smoking-room of his club, "the man who says we ought to live to be a hundred years old is right. Look at the horse. It takes a horse four years to complete its growth, and it lives to be twenty. It takes a man twenty years to complete his growth, and by the same ratio ho ought to live to be a hundred. There re lots of things we can loasn from analogy." 'I don't know but that vou are the unemotional if times its own length. There is no reason, therefore, why a man. six feet high should not be able to jump --let us say--seven thousand eight bundred feet. or a mile and a half, at one leap.

WATCHES THE RAILS. Machine Which Provides for Safe- ty of Travellers. American railroad development has reached the point where a man can sit cemfortably in a private car ard see recorded on paper before hi.n every imperfection of 'the rails over which he is riding, says Words Werk. Twenty years ago. s treck welker with a hamuner trampeal the cross-ties to find out this same thing. The track walker's work and much more is now done by the dynegraph, a mechanism which not only records the deviations the rails make from a straight and level line, but auto- matically computes these deviations in feet and inches. It is the inven- tion of Dr. P. H. Dudley. The in- vantion is atthched to his private car, which has been his home for fifteen years. The dynograph tests rails. It is a machine 42 inches high and looks like a hand printing press. It makes records on the roll of paper attached to tho machine, made through power gained from the rolling of the wheels of the car over the track. The paper is unrolled by a shaft attached to the axle of the car. The papor is thus moved slow- ly as the car travels. Suspended over the paper are a number of glass tubes, cach containing red ink. They are really glass needles that makes a continuous mark on the paper. There is one needle for each track, one for t.e gauge of the rails, an- other to measure the distance the car is travelling. These needles are all connected, first, by shaft attaoh- ed to the side, and then by delicate mechanism attached to the shaft. If the car is travelling over a perfect level track, these glass needles make a straight line. If there is an undu- lation in the track of a fraction cf an- inch, the sensitive mechanism wavers, and the line becomes broken. Since no track is perfectly level, the record for the best road-bed in Am- erica is wavering When the undulation or break ijn the level of the track is one-eighth of an inch or more, the mechanism opens a hose attached to a can of blue paint on the tracks, the paint is splurted on the rail and the «e- fect is thus plainly marked for the section gangs. E-very time the paint is thrown on the track a mark is mado by the glass needle, giving a record by which to check the work of these track repairers. At the end of a test trip a perman- ent record of the roll is made and copies printed for the# yarious mech- anical departments o. et ue road. By this record the road is apprised of the actual condition of its road- hed. BABY LAUGHS. Baby laughs when mother gives him Baby's Own Tablest; they taste good and make him well and happy.

An interview published [n the Lon don Daily News gives the opinion of a young Finnish lady, an exile, on the assassination of Gen. Robrikoff, late Governor of the province. "General Bobrikoff,'"' she said, "is the destroyer of Finland, deliberate- ly commissioned to stamp out every vestige of nationality--the national institutions, and even the education of the people, which made Finland the onc civilized part of the Russian Empire. © man has ever been hat- ed in Finland like this cruel and bar- barous man. Even the children everywhere hate his name. All Fia- land will be glad that he is gone. - MUCH HATED MAN. "Even at St. Petersburg he was hated by almost every one in auth- ity. When it was determined to break down the spirit and destroy the institutions of the Finnish people my uncle was Ministcr of State for Finland. The post of Governor-Gen- eral was offered to officer after offl- cer, but they all, knowing what was expected of them, recoiled- from the task. At last Bobrikoff was sug- peo-| gested--a parvenu, son of a_ priest given to intoxication, but clever, aggressive and forceful, and, as I said, hated by all his colleagues. He was the only one who would take the place. He had had some ex- perience of the work of tyranny ia the East Sea provinces, and he wa appointed precisely on account of the worst things known about him. TAMING A PEOPLE. '"'How has he set to work to des troy Finland, to break down the spirit of the only educated and civil- ized population in Russia? 'The ed- ucation of the people was the great thing aimed at. The Polytechnicum in Helsingfors--the only one in Fin- ~ Jand--was suppressed, 50 that techni- cal education is absolutely stopped in the country. All mectings of the students in their clubs and debating societies--the Nylandsker Afdelningen, --were stopped, and it became treas-, onable to take the slightest interest, in the education of the people. Many of my relatives have been driven out of the country for nothing. Any excuse is taken to drive out the cd- ucated or those who take an intcrest in politics or resent the oppression of the people. They are trying to supplant the Finnish schools by schools teaching only Russian; they: aro planting Russian bishops and Russian churches, and trying to force the people to abandon their Protes- tant religion. Anyone in authority who showod the slightest sign of ob- jection was simply sent away and replaced. Numbers have heen exiled, most of them going to Stockholm, but oven there they are. dogged at every step by Russian spies, Others have simply disappeared.

'News- papers y* suppressed; all news of what is going on has to be circulat- ed secretly POLICY OF SUPPRESSION. Mr. C. Harold Perrott, who knows Finland well and has taken an = ac- tive intcrest in Finnish politics, gave a briof and striking summary of the steps by which Gereral Bobrikoff has attempted to destroy all sem- blance of liberty. in Finland since his appointment six years ago. 'Bobrikofl's predecessors in tho Governor-Generalship,"' said Mr. Per-, rott, 'had always been men of cul- tured stamp ani high social position But when .the new regime was start- ed in 1898 the post was offcred to several leading Russian statesmen and declined. General Bobrikof, a rough soldier, with no pretonsions to family or education, then took tho office. His sole ambition has been to stamp out the liberties of the People and substitute an autocracy, to do away with the self-governing institutions of the Grand Duchy. All the leading newspapers have been guppressed, ost of the prominent citizens exiled, and a tremendous number of resignations of Finnish officers in the Russian army have occurred. POLICE DOMINATION. "The whole country bas been ftood- ed with spies, the passport system has been instituted, the people are subjected to constant police raids and 'domiciliary Visits," and practi- cally the whole Finnish Senate has been summarily dismissed from their posts and creatures of the Govern- ment substituted. An = influential manifesto was issucd protesting the violation of Finland's constitu- tional rights, and among those who signed it were some of the heading jurists of Europe. The late Profes- sor Mommsen, the late Mr. Herbert Spencer, Professor Westinke, K.C., and Senator Frarieux, then Minister of Justice in France, signed the pro- test. At first General Bobrikofi's subordinate in Finland wus M. von Plehve, who now acts as Scerctary of State for Finland in eddition ta his other duties."
