L ft JHehigan JJiraele. MRS. HARRIET A BEGOLE TELLS OF AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING. Loil Her Voice and Did Not Speak Aloud for Nearly Thirteen Years -How Her Speecli Was Restored. The Ypsilanti Commercial. Ypsilanti, Mich. Many things appear miraculous that are really the result of natural laws the workings of which can be accurate ly predicted. A striking example of this occurred in a prominent Michigan family recently, and in this case there can be no question as to the truthful ness of the narrative since it is attest ed by Mrs. Harriet Begole, of Ypsil anti. Mich., a sister-in-law of Mr. Joshua Begole, who was governor of Michigan in 1883-84. When inter viewed Mrs. Begole said: "In 1886 1 suffered from a severe ill ness brought on by a hard cold. Dur ing this illness my voice left me and I did not speak again above a whisper for nearly 13 years. "I was treated by five local physi cians and afterward went to New York and consulted 'the leading specialists there. They diagnosed my case as par tial paralysis, stating that the left side of my throat was entirely paralyzed and the right side partially so. I re turned home utterly disheartened. "For nearly eight years I have suf fered from a severe stomach disorder and about a year ago I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple for this trouble. I vas much bene fited bv the first box and so was en couraged to persist in their use. My stomach trouble was relieved, my gen eral health became greatly improved and to my surprise 1 regained control of my vocal organs. I have used. five, boxes of the pills and last November I spoke aloud for the first time in almost 13 years. I am now 71 years of age and have full control of my voice. I feel so grateful that I wish to make known to others the wonderful cura tive powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. (Signed) MRS I! ARRTET A. BEGOLE." Sworn to and subscribed before me this 19th day of May, 1899, at Ypsil anti, Mich. JOHN P. KIRK, Notary Public. Washtenaw Co., Mich. There is nothing surprising in this cure, remarkable as it is, to those who know that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are so compounded that they act simultaneously on the blood and nerves. They tone up the system and cannot be excelled as a corrective or a disordered digestion as was proved in the above case. Their power in re building wasted nerve tissue makes them invaluable in the treatment of parti paralysis, and to this fact Mrs. Begoje owes the restoration of her voice after years of useless but expensive treatment. Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condense ? form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfail ing specific for such diseases as locomo tor ataxia, partial pr.ralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma tism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forma of weakness either in maid or female. Dr. William's Pink Piils for Pale Peo ple, are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dj.

The parent who is tainted by cither will see in thf clnld the same disease manifesting itself in the form of swollen glands of the neck and throat, catarrh, weak eyes, offensive sores and abscesses and of tentimes white swell ing sure signs of Scrofula. There may be no external signs for a long time, for the diseasejdevelops slowly in some cases, but the poison is in the blood and will break out at the first favor able opportunity. S.S.S. cures this wast ing, destructive disease by first purifying and building up the blood and stimulating and invigorating the whole system. J. M. Seals, 1 15 Public Square. Nashville, Tenn., says : " Ten years ago my daughter fell and cut her forehead. From this wound the glands 00 the side of her face became swollen ana bursted.

An old Danish galley was recently dug up in England, while an excava tion was being made. Its timbers are of oak and elm and they are well preserved. The vessel is assigned to the time of Alfred the Great, which would make it over one thousand years old. An antique sword and some bones of animals now extinct In England were also found. Some of the vast changes which the face of the earth has undergone are indicated by the recent discovery in the small lakes scattered among the ex tinct volcanoes of Auvergne in France of the survival of certain forms of ma rine animals. Salt plains exist there whose deposits were formed before vol canic forces upheaved the surrounding rocks and created mountain peaks and craters. It has been asserted that insects are particularly attracted by the colors of certain flowers. Felix Plateau, after Investigating the conduct of insects In their visits to various flowers, con cludes that while they may perceive colors and thus be enabled to distin guish, at a distance, between flowers and leaves, yet they show no prefer ences among the different colors. Blue, red, yellow, white are indifferent to them. He thinks that the odor of flow ers affects Insects more than their col ors do. The experiments of the French grape growers In Algeria have shown that too much sunshine Is unfavorable for the making of good wine. In the more temperate climate of France grapes possess a proper proportion of sugar to acid for wine making, but the hot Algerian sunshine induces so active an assimilation by the vines that the quantity of acid is reduced and that of sugar Is Increased. In consequence, the wine makers of Algeria are driven to jnany devices for improving the fla vor and lasting quality of their wines. X-rays have been subjected to a novel purpose In Calcutta. A thief was supposed to have stolen a diamond worth 10,000 rupees and to have effec tually secreted it on his person by swallowing It. Expert thieves in India temporarily secrete small valuables of this description In the throat It is called "pouching," and the thieves un dergo special training In order to ren der them proficient in the art. The plan Is simple. A small piece of lead is attached to a thread, and this the neophyte swallows, then by the action of his tongue he guides the lead to the orifice of the sac In the throat. The pupil is prevented from completely swallowing the lead by the piece of thread which the teacher holds. When the man has become skillful in this act of swallowing, the leaden pellet is coat ed with lime, which has the effect of enlarging the sac so that it becomes capable of retaining large articles: In the case of Calcutta the Roentgen rays revealed the presence of some obstacle In the throat, but its precise identity could not be gathered. THEY NOW KNOW BETTER. Geologists Have Discarded the Old No tion About Glacial Movements; A few years ago geologists confident ly aserted that at one period of the world's history a great lee cap came moving down from the polar regions and swept over North America as far south as latitude 38, carrying with it great bowlders which lie about on slopes and hilltops to this day to proTje it and scratching the record of Its movement upon cliffs and ledges. Then this ice cap kindly melted and disap peared. This was taught in the schools, i nd to doubt It was heresy; for science, when it takes up with a theory, la dog matic, and all geologists said: "Behold, how wonderful is our knowledge; what secrets we can wrest from the past!" After a while science rather gave up the polar ice cap theory and laid down a new dogma that of a single conti nental lcfe sheet for North America. The recent investigations of officers of the Canadian geological survey prove that the scientists evolved their glacial theory out of a vivid Imagination-. It has been found that in north ern Alaska there is no evidence that that part of the country ever was cov ered by a glacier in fact, conclusive evidence exists that it was not, At the mouth of the McKenzIe River is plenty of evidence of glacial action, and also that the glacier which left its records came from the south. On the western shores of Hudson Bay are marks of a glacier which came from the west, and on the eastern shores of one which came from the east. East of the Cana dian Rockies is a long belt which shows no evidence of ever having been ex posed to glacial action. These and similar discoveries have put the geologists "all at sea," and they now have evolved a new theojpjwegard ing the glacial period. It is that one big glacier did not at one time cover all the North American continent, but that several glaciers, moving at differ ent times from different centers of dis tribution, made their way in different directions and left the glacial records which are now found. They have even given names to these glaciers, such as the "Cordilleran glacier," the "Labra dorian glacier" and the "Keewatln gla cier." Prof. Lawson, of the University of Califo.n'a, in writing on the subject in the International Monthly, says that as yet It cannot be said that the suc cession of these great glaciers in time has been established well enough to warrant an unqualified acceptance, but he seems to have little hesitation in ac cepting the theory of different glaciers moving from different points. ." HE FOUND ONE HONEST TOUT. Man from the Race Track Who Trusted a Stranjrer ani Won Oat. Among the passengers on an elevated train the other night was a party of men returning from the race track, and from the unmistakably good humor they displayed it was clear that they had succeeded In getting some of the bookies' money. They were talking of the dishonest people met at a race track, and the general opinion seemed 1 3 to be that to find a half-way decent sort of tout was a task few cared to undertake. Everybody waspesslmistic till a man who had refrained from .ex pressing an opinion said: "I've been listening to you folks tell your experiences, and when you say that there Isn't an honest tout I want to tell you of a little experience I had with one of those fellows last week, and I'm sure that when I get through you will say as I do, that there Is a good one to be found now and then. I'd been playing in the hardest kind of luck all day, and when It came time for the fifth race I had no great trouble in counting my roll, which amounted to just $5.80. I picked out a long shot as a last hope, and I went around in quest of the best odds. Soon I ran across a book that was laying 10 to 1 to win, and 4 to 1 a place, and I was about to hand up my bet of $2 to win and $3 for a look-in, when an arm was thrust over my shoulder and a voice exclaim ed: 'Five straight and place,' and the owner of the arm mentioned the name of the very horse I had intended to play. The bookmaker took the money. Then, before I could open my mouth, he put down the odds. I said I was in line, and he should have taken my bet first, and it was tough to be shut out that way when a fellow was down to his last few dollars, but It wasn't any use. "Just then the man who'd got ahead of me said: 'Say, I can understand' just how you feel, and I'll take you on for a place bet, at least.' This struck me as being a kind proposition, and we settled that he should take my whole $5 for a place at 4 to 1. He hurried away from me as soon as he got my five, and then it occurred to me that maybe I was up against It, for I had recognized my kind friend as one of the best-known touts at the big tracks. The horse I had picked won the race, and with little hope of ever seeing the fellow again I went over to the free field to find him. 1 couldn't, and was on my way back to the grand stand calling myself a chump, when I heard some one yelling at me and saw one of the bookmakers beckoning. I walked over to him, and he was the man who had shut me out on the bet I was going to make. " 'Ain't you the man that made a bet with a fellow here a while ago on so and so for a place?' he said. I answered that I was, and he told me that he had something that was left by a man for me. You can imagine my surprise when he handed me out $25 with the explana tion that my friend was In a hnrry and could not wait, so had left the money for me. As I counted the money I thought hard, and since then I take credit for having discovered the first honest tout any of us has ever known." Chicago Inter Ocean. CONCEALED FIRE ESCAPE. Always Ready for Use and Takes Up No Extra Space. Here Is a fire escape which is design ed to take up no extra space in a room, and yet it is always ready for Instanta neous use. The designer is Charles G. Harris of WlUIamsport, Pa., and his object Is to so utilize a cbalr or divan In the construction of the fire escape that the latter will be effective ly hidden from view when not in use? The work of adjusting the ladder for use Is slight and no time need be lost In placing the apparatus. Tbe chair is wheeled to the window, and the but toned back stripped off, when the reel of links and rungs Is presented to view. The outer end of the ladder is provid ed with two grappling hooks, which are attached to the window sill and the reel tossed out of the window. The weight- of the ladder holds the hooks firmly, and the ladder is then ready for descent. When the apparatus is In position In the back of tbe chair it is concealed by a covering of cloth, which Is provided with snap buttons around its edge, this being the handiest to unfasten in case of a fire. No Political Bosses in -England. The British voter knows nothing of delegates, conventions or party mana gers. He walks into the polling booth and votes directly for the man of his choice. . It Is true that both the Con servative (now the Unionist) and the Liberal parties have a paid official who 1b supposed to undertake general super vision of party interests in the elector ate throughout the kingdom. He Is generally consulted by constituencies in the selection of a candidate. What he tenders In response is advice, not In struction.

There are many buildings in cities in Holland which were originally and unmistakably built out of the straight For Instance, not far from the Hotel Vieux Doelen, where the delegates to the peace conference stayed, there is an extension being built to one of the churches, and, although the walls are not yet completed, they lean outward more than twelve Inches. Another in stance of this is found in some of the corner houses, whose walls lean out over each street. In many cases new houses are evidently put up to match the houses alongside. Strangely enough, though, there are comparatively few cases on record of collapse. Free Mounts for Army Officers.

LIEUTENANT PETERSON Says Peruna Is tbe Finest Tonic and Invigorator He Ever Used. Lieutenant Charles Peterson, Hook and Ladder Co. No. 21. writes the fol lowing letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from 827 Belmont avenue, Chi cago, 111.: "Last year I had a severe attack of la grippe which left me very weak, so that I was unable to perform my duties. Several of my friends advised me to build up on Peruna, and I found it fey tar the finest tonic and invigorator I had ever nsed. In two weeks I was strong and well, and if ever I am ex posed to unusual hardship incident with my duties at fires, I take a dose or two of Peruna and find that ' it keeps me in good health." Charles Peterson. The above is only one of fifty thousand letters we have on file attesting the merits of Peruna. There are a great multitude of peo ple in all parts of tbe land who have entirely lost their health as a result ot la grippe; who have recovered from an attack, but find themselves with weak ened nerves, deranged digestion, and with very little of their former powers. There is no disease known to man that leaves the system in such an out rageous and exasperating condition as la grippe. For this class of sufferers, Peruna is a specific. Peruna should be taken ac cording to directions and in a few weeks the sufferer will be eatirely re store 1 to his accustomed health. Address The Peruna Medisine Co..

It is one of the moral uses of the night that it gives the world anew to us every morning, and of sleep that it makes life a daily re-creation God is thus all the while presenting the cup of life afresh to our lips. Thus, after a night of peaceful sleep, we be hold the world as new and fresh and wonderful as it was on the first morn ing of creation when God pronounced it "very good," And sleep itself is a divine alchemy that gives us ourselves with our primitive energy of body and mind.

Farmers in our extreme northwest ern states have been greatly puzzled over the origin of fires occurring upon their prairies far remote from locomo tive sparks, in sections not visited by lniians and at seasons of tbe year when there were no hunters in the country. They have carefully traced hack the progress of these fires until in each case they have found the flames proceeded from a point in the grass where lay a castaway beer bottle, itself the focal poiut of all the trouble. The spherical glass in the bottom had acted as a powerful concentrating prism and through this the sun's rays had fifed tne dry. plain.
