' There are many medicines that palliate

relieve for a time the oppressed breathing
Of the sufferer. There are few diseases
more troublesome and more irritating
than asthma. It interferes alike with
business and with pleasure. It prevents
enjoyment of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest possi
ble boon that could be offered them. There
is a remedy for asthma. Dr. J. C. Aver's
Cherry Pectoral has cured hundreds of
cases of this disease, and testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exemplifying
the quick and radical action of this great
remedy.
" About a year ago, T caught a bad cold
which resulted in asthma so severe that I
was threatened with suffocation whenever
I attempted to lie down on my bed. A
friend recommending Ayer's Cherry Pec

Woods, the well
known English
auctioneers, under
instruction of the
representatives of

my, who died in 1820, of "the collection
of pictures and remaining works of
Benjamin West." The sale in itself is
probably not of extraordinary artistic
interest, since West's most ambitious
productions have long been permanent
ly placed; yet the fact that seventy
eight years after the painter's death
there remains a collection of his pic
tures sufficiently important to be of
fered at public sale will direct attention
to and revive interest in the remark

though American born, by the incom

wheel attained to the post of the high
est official distinction in English art—
the presidency of the Royal Academy;
who was born in a humble farm house
not fifteen miles from Philadelphia,
yet whose earthly remains were depos
ited with reverential pomp in a cathe
dral tomb—in St. Paul's—beside Sir
Joshua Reynold and Sir Christopher
Wren. Especially interesting is the
announcement to Philadelphians,where

BENJAMIN WEST IN OLD AGE
revered and highly gifted painter, Ben
jamin West, Esq.," which was held at
the deceased president's house in Lon
don in 1829,bringing the highest prices.
The "Paul and Barnabas" now hang
ing over the main stairway of the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,
and which was originally painted as
one of the decorations of King George
III.'s intended chapel at Windsor Cas
tle, Is said to have brought £360;
"Death on the Pale Horse," the gigan
tic canvas which transfixes the eye of
the visitor as he enters the Academy,
brought £2,000; and "Christ Rejected,"
West's masterpiece, also owned by the
Academy, brought £3,000. These are
remarkable prices. Still another of
West's famous pictures, "Christ Heal
ing the Sick," now hangs in the Penn
sylvania Hospital. The original pic
ture was purchased by the directors of
the British Institution for £3,000. This
the artist copied, making a few
changes, and presented a copy to Phil
adelphia in 1802. The career of Ben
jamin West is the first and greatest ro
mance of American art. As of the
lives of many great men sprung from
humble origin, a great deal of tradition
surrounds West's early years, so much
so that It is hard to separate fact from
fancy. Some very remarkable stories
are related of the strong predilection
for art manifested by Benjamin while
still a prattling child. Some biogra
phers claim that he began to draw the
family portraits at six; others say at
seven. Gait, who bequeathed to pos
terity a Life of .West, compiled from
materials furnished by himself, is pro
fuse In anecdotal reminiscences relat
ing to the childhood of West, which,
whether they be accepted as authori
tative or not, make extremely interest
ing reading. A copy of this book,
quaintly bound and time stained, pub
lished in Philadelphia in 1816, informs
us that the branch of the West family
to which the artist belonged was de
scended from the Lord Delaware who
distinguished himself in the wars of
Edward III, and particularly under the
Black Prince, at the battle of Cressy.
About the year 1667 the West family
embraced the tenets of Quakers. Col.
James West, the friend and companion
In arms of the patriot Hampden, is said
<o have been the first proselyte of the
family. The Wests emigrated to Am
erica in 1699. Thirty -nine years later
—in 1738 —Benjamin West was born In
what was then the neighboring county
of Chester, near Springfield, whioh
Thomas Pearson, his maternal grand
father, so named because a large spring
of water was discovered in the first
field he cleared for cultivation. The
house In whioh Benjamin West first
saw the light still stands close by the
gray walled structure of Pennsylvania's
Quaker college at Swarthmore. It Is
a quaint, curious relic of primitive do
mestic architecture of 1724; in appear
ance unobtrusive and serene, well be
fitting the dwelling place of the Friend,
surrounded by plenteous evidences of
the pastoral beauty which attuned the
young eyes of the Quaker painter to
an early delight in the observation of
nature. Now the groves of Academus
are peopled with youthful figures,
capped and gowned. Once among the
trees, on summer days, gathered the
friendly Red Men. The little weather
beaten biography informs us that It
was the Indians who taught Benjamin
West to prepare the red and yellow col
ors with which they painted their orn
aments. To these his mother added
blue, by giving him a piece of indigo;
thus he secured the three primary col
ors. His first brush, we are assured,
flowers around the West home, was
followed by the present of a box of
paints and several engravings. This
precious gift was an inspiration. At
night he placed the box on a chair by
his bedside and often did he stretch out
his hand in the darkness, half fearful
that he might find his riches only a
dream. The next morning he rose at
daybreak, and carrying his colors to
the garret, proceeded to work. The
time he should have spent in school
he stole for painting. The schoolmas
ter, observing his absence, sent to ask
the cause of it. This led to the dis
covery of his secret occupation. His
mother, proceeding to the garret, found
the truant; but so surprised and de
lighted was she at the picture which
was improvised from the tapering fur
of the family cat's tail. The brush did
not last long. A further supply, how
ever, was secured by successive depre
dations upon Grimalkin's back. These
became so frequent that his father no
ticed the altered appearance of pussy's
coat, and became grievously vexed at
the disease whioh threatened to mar
her beauty. Thereupon Benjamin con
fessed.
It was soon after the boy had first
begun to indulge his imitative faculties
that the visit of a relative, who be
came interested in the drawings and
confronted her that she gladly forgave
him. He had made, not a mere copy,
but a new composition of his own from
two of the engravings which he had
colored from his intuitive feeling for
the right tints. Sixty-seven years aft
erwards the picture hung in the same
room with the painting, "Christ Re
jected," and West, it is said, declared
that there were inventive touches of
art In his juvenile essay which in none
of his subsequent efforts he had been
able to excel. Young West was Bent
to Philadelphia to school, where he
had the advantage of the excellent in
struction of Doctor Smith, the provost
of the college, who was a fine classical
scholar, and who influenced the mind
of his youthful disciple in the classical
bent noticeable in after time. There
was little in the creed of the Friends
auspicious to the fine arts; consequent
ly when West returned to Springfield
at the age of 16 the question of his
future vocation was solemnly weighed
in family council, and a meeting of the
m
v->
-
WEST'S BIRTHPLACE.
Society of Friends was called to dis
cuss publicly the destiny of the boy. It
was an extraordinary gathering which
convened in the meeting house near
Springfield. West's biographer, in de
scribing the scene, speaks of much de
bate, approaching to altercation, fol
lowing which a man, John Williamson
by name, rose and delivered a remark
able speech which convinced the as
sembly that the youth should be an ar
tist.
A private meeting of Friends was
appointed, which was held at his fath
er's house. Benjamin was present to
receive in form the assent and blessing
of the socièty. Several were moved by
the spirit to address the meeting. John
Williamson spoke again. Then the
women arose, kissed the young artist,
and the men, one hy one, laid their
hands on his head and prayed that "the
Lord might verify in his life the value
of the gift which had Induced them,
in despite of their religious tenets, to
allow him to cultivate the faculties of'
his genius."
West spent about three years travel
ing through Italy, everywhere meeting
with distinguished attention. Florence,
Bologna and Parma electing him an
academician. His continental studies
completed, he settled permanently in
London in 1763.
Success smiled upon him, and In two>
years he was able to marry Elizabeth
Shewe'l, to whom he had plighled his
troth before leaving America. One of
the most romantic of the stories told
about West is concerned with Ills
courtship. Whether it has little or any
foundation in fact is disputed. Its
authenticity Is extremely doubtful, but
it is worth relating how, partly for the
reason that a portrait of Benjamin
West and also a portrait of his wife
both hang in the permanent galleries
of the Academy of the Fine Arts, and
because Matthew Pratt, the man who
accompanied the father of Benjamin
West and West's future wife to London
in 1764, and took part in West's wed
ding, was the man who painted the.
portraits.
House 8et on Fire by a Poultice.
Fire insurance companies have all
sorts of experiences, and their officers,
can tell many curious stories. One of
the queerest fires fell within the busi
ness of the Connecticut Fire Insurance'
company of this city, recently. A
house was set on fire by a bathtub, and
the bathtub was set on fire by a poul
tice. A man in a western city was suf
fering from a bad cold, and his wife,
at the doctor's orders, prepared a poul
tice for his chest. When she started
to put It on it proved too hot. Ac
cordingly, she took it to the bathroom
and set It into the bathtub to cool.
This happened to be a fine tub lined
with celluloid, which served as a Bort
of enamel. The heat of the poultice
started the celluloid a-going, and the
burning tub set things going general
ly. The department was called out,
and the house was well wet down, for
which the company had to pay. This,
so far as known, is the first Instance
on record where a bathtub set a house
on fire or where a poultice kindled a.
bathtub.—Hartford Courant.

linngering After Christ,
"Blessed are they which hunger and
thirst after righteousness; for they
shall bs filled.—Matt. vl. 8.
The soul's true hunger and thirBt can
only be satisfied with that which flows
out of the deepest fountains of ever
lasting love. But this i« a mighty
river, out of which the hearts of be
lievers have drapk since the beginning
of the world. The longing look after
Jesus contains the gllnmertog of faith.
It may be mingled wKh much weak
ness, and the sighing of the soul may
be, "Lord, help us, we perish," but let
us cherish this feeling, so that out of
H may grow a power which wind and
sea will not be able to extinguish. A
great stream is composed of little
drops, and a strong faith grows out of
secret longings and desires after Christ.
A magnet can move a piece of iron as
eaetly as a small needle; both hang
upon It, for the power does not come
from the greatness or the smallnesa
of the iron, but from the stone. Thus,
the weakest faith is a fruit of the Holy
Spirit, as well as the strongest, for It
does not depend on our strength or on
our weakness, but on Christ.—Chris

battleships launched at Newport News,
Va., last ThurBday, the water-christ

widest attention and interest. This
fact is indicated by the press reports
which have given much prominence in
news and editorial columns to the

A WOMAN'S BURDCrC
v from the Evening Newt, Detroit. IM.
The women of to-day are not as stroagas
their grandmothers. They are bearlag a
burden In silence that grows heavier day by
day ; that is sapping their vitality and cloud
ing their happiness.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of 417Mlchlgan
Avenue, Detroit, is a typical woman of to
day. A wife with such ambition as only a
loving wife can have. But the joys of her
life were marred by the existence of disease.
Buffering as thousands of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired of life aad
yet she was cured.
" For five years I
suffered with ovarian
trouble," is Mrs."
Clark's own version
of the story. "I was
not free one single
day from headache
and intense twitch
ing pains in my nock
and shoulders. For
months at a time I
w'juld be confined to
my bed. At times
Mack spots would
appear before my T . .„ .
even aud I wonld be- * became blind,
come blind. My nerves were in sneh state
that a step on tue floor unsettled me.
"Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the beet
food and medicine all failed. Then I con
sented to an operation. That, too, failed
and they said another was necessary. After
the second I was worse than ever and the
world was darker than before.
"It was then I heard of Dr. William»'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that
they bad cured caseB like mine and I tried
tbem.
"They cured me! They brought sun
shine to my life and filled mv cup with hap
piness. The headache is gone: the twitch
ing is gone; the nervousness is gone; the
trembling has ceased, and I have gained
twenty-six pounds. Health and strength is
mine and 1 am thankful to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for l'aie People for the blessing."
Tliese pills are a boon to womankind.
Acting directly on tlie blood and nerves,
they restore the requisite vitality to all parts
of the body; creating functional regularity
and perfect harmony throughout the ner
vous system. The pallor of the cheeks is
changed to the delicate Munh of health : the
eyes brighten; the mnscles grow elastic,
a m bition is created and good h ealth returns.
