' COLD DY ALL DRUGGISTS AT 25cts., 50cts., AND $1.00 A DOTTLE. Historic Storm Which Wiped the Orig inal Structure Out of Kxlstence. The lighthouse on Minot'a ledge stands within the shadow of a trageuy. It ia the second structure erected upon the ledge. The first lighftouse and the lives it held were claimed by the sea. Begun in 1847 and completed in No vember, 1848, it was overwhelmed in April, 1851. Its destruction was the most tragic event , in the history of onr lighthouse establishment. The struc ture was an octagonal tower supported upon wrought iron piles strengthened by braces. The piles penetrated five feet into tho rock. On the braces, 34) feet above the rock, the keeper had con structed a platform for the storage of bulky articles and vhad fastened to the lantern deck, 63 feet above the rock, a 5$ inch hawser, which he had an chored to a seven ton granite block. Along this hawser articles were hoisted up to the platform and there landed. These improvements were convenient and fatal, not, however, to the keeper who made tbem, for he was on shore when the storm which has become his toric for its fury burst over the coast. On Monday, April 14, 1851, there was a strong easterly gale blowing. At that . time there were on the tower two assistant keepers and a friend of the principal keeper. The visitor became frightened at the first indication of a storm, and in response to a signal from the tower a boat put off for Cohasset and took him ashore. On Tuesday the wind swung around to the northeast, the most dangerous quarter from which the elements can hurl themselves upon Minot's, as they then rejoice in the ac cumulated fury of miles of wind torn sea. By the 16th it had increased to a hurricane, and the tower was so com pletely buried in the heavy seas that nothing of it could be seen by the group of anxious watcners at Oohasset. About 4 o'clock in the evening of the 16th the platform was washed ashore. Then the watchers knew that the water had risen to within seven feet of the tower. At nightfall it was seen that the-light was burning. It was observed at fitful intervals until 10 o'clock that night, when it was finally lost to sight. At 1 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, April 17, just at the turn of the flood, when the outstrcaming tide and the in rushing hurricane met at Minot's, a violent tolling of the lighthouse bell .was heard. After that no sound rose above the din of the storm. About 6 o'clock in the morning a man walking along the shore saw a chair washed up a little distance ahead of him. Exam ining it, he recognized it as having been in the watchroom of the tower. After this discovery no one had any doubts of the tragedy which had been enacted be hind the curtain of the storm. When it lifted, naught was seen over Minot's ledge but the sea. its white crests streaming triumphantly in the gale. It is believed by those competent to judge of such matters that the destruc tion of the tower was due to the surface which the platform constructed by the keeper offered to tho waves and to the strain of the hawser upon the structure. Every time this hawser was struck by a sea it actually tugged at the tower. There seems also little doubt that the sum appropriated by congress for the building of the lighthouse was insuffi cient by about two-thirds for such a structure as the perilous situation called for. Oustav Kobbe in Century. Reynolds Painting Slddons. Some of Reynolds' methods were pe caliar. He usually painted his sitters from their reflection in a mirror and not from a direct view. He always re mained standing while at work, and he rarely signed a portrait. One notable exception, however, was made in the case of his magnificent por trait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse, which was painted when the master was 60 years old and when Mrs. Siddons was 28. The great actress, fail ing at first to recognize a sort of em broidery which the artist had added to the edge of her robe, soon perceived that it contained the words, "Joshua Rey nolds pinxit, 1784," whereupon Sir Joshua assured her that he would be proud to have his name go down to pos terity on the hem of her garmentl Be fore commencing this picture the ar tist, instead of posing the sitter himself, requested Mrs. Siddons to give him her own idea of the Tragic Muse, and she immediately assumed the pose in which the picture was painted. Scribner's Magazine. v , Memory. There are 100 different varieties of memory, and perhaps we cannot alto gether choose which we will posses, though every sort, when we have the germs of it, may be cultivated. To learn anything by heart the best plan is to read sentence and repeat it without a book, then read the next sen tence and repeat the two, and so on. Repetition is of great importance, 4,liue upon line.r More is learned and ro mem bored by reading through ou book twice than by reading two books ince. After a thing has been learned it must be recalled and gone over at in tervals, or the impression .will fade away. Dr. M. Granville says we should take out oar own idoas and o4t them sometimes. Interior. Her Indignation. 1 ' A pretty little woman came out of a big dry goods store the other ijay. Her eyes were flnsning fire, and her face was flashed with indignation. "What's the matter?" inquired a friend who met her at the door. "Why," "he said, "I just saw a man do a. thing .in there that makes my blood boil. 1 went over to the 'dress goods counter and found him there sit ting on a stool and letting his wife stand. When 1 came along, he got up and offered me his seat. And his wife stood there meekly and never said a word. If hfl'd boon my husband, 1 would have snatched him baldheaded." Can you blame her? Buffalo Express. THE TEMPERAMENT. The ronrfold Classification That tV as Blade r Two Thousand Tears Ago. It is interesting to find that so thor oughly scientific a man as Professor William Preyer has adopted the four fold classification of temperaments made nearly 2,000 years ago namely, the choleric, sanguine, melancholy and lymphatic. The existence of one or the other of these temperaments may be discerned, he says in his work on "The Infant Mind," very early in the great majority of children in the sec ond quarter of the first year, beyond a doubt. Nearly every one who has written about temperaments has got up a classification of his own. Ualen had nine, Haycock gave six, Graham Brown seven, and others have got down as low as two. Modern, writers use the word nervous for choleric, and bilious for melancholic temperament. With these verbal modifications, the old clas sification seems to answer all practical purposes, and individuals can build up combinations as needed. Hutchinson defines temperament as the sum of the physical peculiarities of a man exclusive of his tendency to disease. This is not very satisfac tory, though perhaps temperament is a thing a little toe vague to be satisfacto rily defined. In modern terms it may be said to be the peculiar way in which the individual reacts to the stimuli of his environment. There is no doubt that one class of persons reacts quickly and easily, expending energy profusely and often needlessly in their life work; others react hopefully and work buoy antly, yet with less waste. We ' can thus distinguish the nervous, the san guine, the melancholic, etc. A capac ity to 'recognize and appreciate the im portance of temperament used to be con sidered part of a -sound medical train ing. It has been too much neglected in our pursuit of minutiae with micro scopes and test tubes. Our teachers of practical medicine might well revive its study. Medical Record.

S THOUSANDS OF MEN all over the country are being slowly Jaled to death year after year owing to the vital fluids passing off with the urine (water). They feel all run down, dragged out and whipped of energv and am bition, but are all unconscious of where the true cause of their trouble lies. Seeking relief from the family doctor, they are treated for Billiousness, Dyspepsia, Heart Troubles or Rheumatism and Kidney Disease, but to no purpose. They try patent nostrums, but these disappoint them. These sufferers may be of all ages, from mere boys to ad vanced life, but the majority are middle aged married men who have worked day and night as you might say for years and years.

For years I have suffered with very serious disease of the kidneys, bladder and prostate gland, and had be come so bad that I was forced to draw my water with a catheter always and so irritable was the bladder that I had to draw the water KVKnr,HOUK, dat and nioiit. This constant irritation brought on abcess of the prostate gland, which became chronic and discharged constantly, and which would often lay me up for weeks at a time. No one knows what I suffered from the foul condition I was in. My liver and stomach became so much Involved that I could neither eat nor digest anything. I went to Dr. Holman S. Humphrey at the hotel in Owosso, when I had not sat up four hours in as many months. I only went to please my family, as I had no faith I could be helped, and firmly believed I would be in my grave In less than six months. Now; however, after six months of Dr. Humphrey's treatment I am so well I consider further attention as wholly unnecessary. Dr. Humphrey has done more for me than I ever thought was In the power of man to do more than he ever promised. I can pass my water without drawing it, sleep well nights with out getting up and am taking solid comfort.' Are you alllicted? Write me for particulars of my great deliver ance from a most dreadful condition. D. F. JOCKLTN, West Haven, Mich. And Still Another. For tho past eight years I have been afflcted with a se vere case of Dropsy, extending all over my body and such shortness of breath I emild scarcely get up or down stairs. I weighed over 2X) pounds, and was a burden to myself. I went to Dr. Humphrey at the hotel In Ionia, 'fully belle !tig that If I could see some great specialist from tho city I could be cured. The Doctor has done wonders for me. In the short space of two months my dropsy is rapidly leaving me and I am certain I will get entirely well; I feel like a new woman and go about my work most as well as ever. Mrs. Clarisa Beach. The above statement is literally true. Wm. A. Beach, Ionia, Mich. Five years ago I was stricken with apoplexy, which made me well nigh helpless, and which passing off left my right side paralyzed to such an extent I could not lift my arm or do more than hobble around with a cane. During this time I had spells cl severe vomiting with complete loss of appetite. I. partially recovered from this attack, but while driving chickens from my garden was taken with another seizure which made me so help less that I have been only able to get about with the greate8tdlfllculty. I employed the best doctors I could Snd. Six different ones worked over with me little or oo benefit, until last spring I called upon 'Dr. Holman 8 ' Humphrey, at the hotel in Ionia, and commenced treat ment with him. Four weeks afterwards I walked from my house to town, a mile and a half, and back, which I had not done for two years, during which time I could not even hobble to the road which runs by my house. I have regained the use of myself all over, go where I please, all alone, and walk all I have a mind to. I eat well, sleep well, and am a live old man again, whereas before , I was worse than dead. Before taking Dr. Holman 8. Humphrey's treatment my bowels did not move for a week or more at a time. Now I am rocpilar as a clock, and I take pleasure in urging the afllicted to see Dr. Humphrey and be cured., E. C. Pmt.ups, i Ionia, Mloh. I had suffered for years with serlou deafness from ca tarrh.
