"Har Friend. '
Ghosts don’t walk in broad daylight,
and yet when a woman finds herself
suddenly confronted by the friend she
has mourned as dead she is apt to ex
perience a creepy sensation that isn’t
down in the dictionary.
In a case like this no amount of pres
ence of mind or self-possession can
ward off the mingled feelings of aston
ishment, fear, joy and curiosity that
will render a woman temporarily
tongue-tied. It is only after seeing the
cherished smile of greeting, after again

TWO MVISB PICTURES MEET,
feeling that there is throbbing life be
neath the dainty glove, and after again
hearing her own name spoken in the
ever familiar voice, that this strange
sensation vanishes.
THE STRANGE MEETING.
The meeting of the two women whose
pictures are here given, shows that
everyday life furnishes experiences as
thrilling as those that coino to us only
in our wildest dreams. And the fact
that such meetings occur every day
points a moral that every woman in the
land should take to heart Here was a
woman in the prime of life, pursued by
that sentinel which seeks its victim,
among her sex alone.
From a living picture she became, in
less than a year, a wreck of human
wretchedness. From despondency to
despair seemed but the remaining step,
the last step,
HER LAST FAREWELL.
Overcome by the presentiment that
precedes a lingering death, she asked
to be removed to her old home in the
West, and spoke what to all seemed to
be her last farewell. In the very pa
per that chronicled her departure the
doomed invalid found letters written
by Mrs. Belle Dement, of Iroquois,
111., Mrs. Minnie Smith, of Lowell, Ore
gon, and others. Some of these letters
are printed below. They told how cures
had been found for cases like her own
—shattered health that had almost
sapped life away. With no more hope
than that which prompts the drowning
man to catch at a straw—for she firmly
believed herself incurable, just as tens
of thousands of women believe them
selves incurable—she followed the ad
vice contained in these letters. The
result is best told in the woman’s own
words: “In less than five months,”
she writes, “I returned to my friends
in the East, as well and strong in body
and mind and as happy and free from
pain as any woman in the world. I
had gained nearly thirty pounds in
weight and was so changed in face and
form that when one of my dearest
friends met me in broad daylight she
almost fainted, for
SHE BELIEVED ME DEAD.”
She adds. “I owe my whole life and
happiness to Doctor I'ierce’s Favorite
Prescription, which cured me after doc
tors, travel, baths, massage, electricity,
had failed to even benefit!”
This woman’s case, remarkable as it
may seem, is not an exceptional one.
Thousands and thousands of just such
cures have keen made in every State by
this same special remedy for women’s
peculiar disorders and diseases. This
world-famed remedy is not recommend
ed as a “cure-all” but as a most perfect
specific for women's peculiar ailments

Whitest City in the World.
There cannot possibly be a whitei
city than Cadiz, unless it be built of
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take a trip in one of the small
steamers which ply between the ports
of Morocco and Spain. As you near
the coast you see in front of you a
whjte mass which appears to bo float
ing upon the water, just as you are.
The first thought of a foreigner is that
he is in sight of an iceberg. The white
mass glittering in the sun, and ren
dered more dazzling by the blue sea
and sky, looks exactly like a monster
ice mountain partly melted, so that the
outlines of castles and hills appear
upon it; but only for a second does the
illusion last, for you know there are no
.icebergs in that part, and you arequick
ly informed that yon are looking at
Cadiz. No other town in the world

It was Dr. John Brown of Edinboro.
I think, who spoke in sincere sympa
thy of the man who “led a dog-less
life.” It was Mr. “Josh Billings,” I
know, who said that in the whole his
tory of the world there is but one thing
that money cannot buy, to-wit: the
wag of a dog’s tail. And it was Prof.
John C. Van Dyke who declared the
other day, in reviewing the artistic
career of Landseer, that he made his
dogs too .human. It was the great
Creator himself who made dogs too hu
man—so human that sometimes they
put humanity to shame.
I have been the friend and confident
of three dogs, who helped to humanize
me for the space of a quarter of a cen
tury, and who had souls to be saved, I
am sure; and when I cross the Stygian
river I expect to find on the other shore
a trio of dogs wagging their tails al
most off in their joy at my coming, and
with honest tongues hanging out to
lick my hands and my feet And then
I am going, with these faithful, de
voted dogs at my heels, to talk dogs
over with Dr. John Brown, Sir Edwin
Landseer and Mr. Josh Billings.—

There is more Catarrh In this section

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be Incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced It a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced It Incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh

Bradford, Eng., Oct. 12. 1895.
Ever since I took cognizance of tho
dally public life of Bradford and its
surrounding manufacturing districts, I
must frankly admit that I never saw
Yorkshire in such “fettle” as she is
today. Talk about the people being
morbid and walking about with their
hearts in their pockets. All that senti
mental feeling and “funerallsm” was
buried last December 31, when the (sup
posed) last of McKlnleyism was con
signed to its long resting place.
Ever since January 1 dawned the bar
ometer has commenced to rise, and to
day, throughout the manufacturing dis
trict of Yorkshire, the trade mercury
stands at the maximum heat. Nobody
knows this more than our daily press,
and a thought of two on what has been
sent forth this week cannot prove

amiss. One of our own town dallies de
votes its leader to “Our Freshening
Trade,” while the Leeds Mercury of the
same day waxes eloquent over the “de
cidedly increased activity” of the trade
of Dewsbury and Batley.
It Is acknowledged by everyone in
trade that Bradford, Huddersfield,
Dewsbury and Batley have not been
so busy for this last quarter of a cen
tury. From morn till night the rattle
of the shuttle is to be heard, and in
many of the factories of the two lat
ter towns work is being continued all
through the night. The repeal of the
McKinley tariff and the substitution of
a lower scale of import duties have
opened your markets properly to the
heavy shoddy made goods of Bentley
and Dewsbury. The Mercury admits
that “it is to this almost entirely that
the Improvement in the woolen trade of
Bentley is due,” and it also admits the
same in regard to the trade of Dews
bury.

night, there isn’t much “fat” being got
out of this big trade.
Still this volume of trade is furnish
ing additional employment for our fac
tory workers, who sadly needed it. Al
though the. Leeds Mercury is very ex
plicit, yet it only voices the same sen
timents cherished by thousands on this
side, but which sentiment, I think,
should become the personal property of
all true-hearted Americans. Let this
paragraph be soberly read and pon
dered :
“As to whether the makers of heavy
woolens will for any length of time be
able to maintain their present hold in
the American markets, there prevails
some difference of opinion amongst
Dewsbury manufacturers. The head of
one large firm does not take an optim
istic view of the situation. The fact
that the Americans have for years been
manufacturing a large proportion of the
cloth they require shows that they
have no small producing power, and
that they may soon be able to adapt
their factories to the production of the
particular class of goods now being so
extensively imported by their country.
It is, of course, very desirable, in the
interests of the British manufacturer,
that our cousins across the mill pond
Bhould continue to remain in blissful
ignorance. Knowing as we do Brother
Jonathan’s go ahead, never-to-be-beat
en temperament, however, this seems
highly improbable. There is also the
Important fact to be taken into consid
eration that, whilst in England raw ma
terial, owing to the increased demand
for it, is advancing, in America the ten
dency is for it to decline, because the
home manufacturers are using less of
it. The cost of carriage and the high
duties which yet remain upon British
heavy woolens demand that we should
produce more cheaply than the Ameri
cans themselves.

bury manufacturer referred to, “how
are we to continue to do so if the cost
of our raw material is greater than
theirs?” On the other hand there are
manufacturers in the district who be
lieve that some years must elapse be
fore the Americans can produce low
worsteds and mantlings of such a quali
ty and such a price as to shut English
goods out of their markets, and in the
meantime other markets may be opened
to this country.”
Blissful ignorance! I should think
so. But there cannot be much true soul
blissfulness when these very manufac
turers rejoice to know that the domes
tic makers are much chagrined by not
being able to meet them fully on their
own ground. But for my own part I
am glad to know that domestic makers
have a higher ideal than the shoddy
makers of Batley and Dewsbury. If
the sheep and wool industry had no bet
ter friends than, these manufacturers of
“cotton and shoddy” our farmer friends
would fare very badly. But while say
ing keep out of such an ignominious
blending of materials altogether, I
would ask: How long Is this to con
tinue?
But, do you ask, what is the real
actual difference in the value of man
ufactured textiles which are today
landed In New York as compared with
the days of the McKinley tariff? Let
me definitely state. Presidents and
beavers from this district had, even be
fore the McKinley bill was passed, to
pay a duty of nearly 200 per cent. A
president cloth weighing 28 ounces to
the yard, which could be sold in this
country by the manufacturer at 3G
cents a yard, would have to realize over
|1.14 a yard in New York to pay the
producer. In the first place there would
be 35 cents a pound specific duty to
pay upon it equal to 2s. 2d., or 52 cents
a yard. In addition there would be a
50 per cent, ad valorem duty, or 18 cents
a yard. In addition there would he 5 j
to 10 per cent, for commission and car
riage, thus bringing the price up to the
prohibitive figure mentioned.—Ameri

The Potato's Genesis Unsolved,
The early naturalists differed greatly
ns to the origin of the potato, writes
John Gilmer Speed in November La
dle's Home Journal. In England it
was held to be a native of Virginia,
and in Spain it was said to have orig
inated in Peru. Modern opinion holds
that it is indigenous to the elevated
table lands of Chili, Peru, Bolivia,
Costa Rica, Mexico and southwestern
United States. It probably got to Vir
ginia by the hands of some early Span
ish explorers. It is certain, however,
that it was not cultivated in Virginia
till far into the eighteenth century,
and then it was introduced in the
American Colonies on account of the
esteem in which it was held in Europe.
