Woman’s Wit TOLD BY A SOCIETY GIRL. Bomathlo* About Morphine, Sulpha* HoImhi and Othor Thlaff. From the Evening News. Newark, N. J. Among the popular society leader 'lEam Orange, N J., Emma X* Stoll, a e_.rcnlng young maiden, stands In the foremost rank. She is of a lovable disposition and the light of the social set in which she moves. For • two years she has been a sick girl from in ternal troubles peculiar to women, and hav ing recently recovered, has given our i reporter the following interesting account: “Instead of improving under the care of my physician 1 became worse. For five weeks 1 was unable to get out of bed and about six o'clock each morning I suffered horribly. Mv lips were sore and lacerated from the marks of my teeth, fer in my efforts to keep from screaming I sunk my teeth deep into my lips. At such times l rolled and tossed until the bed shook like an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious that the. doctor—I won’t tell you his name—gave me" some morphine pills to take. The very thought of them now makes me shiver. These morphine pills simply put me to sleep for awhile and when I became conscious again my agony was renewed. “Tiie pain in my stomach and back was more than I could stand. ‘Your blood is poor,’said the doctor, ‘takesulphur and mo v lasses,’ and I did until it was a great won der that I was not a molasses cake. It yas * timo wasted in taking it because I was not benefited in the least; my suffering con tinued, but by a mighty effort after being In bed so long. I got up. Oh, but I was a sad Bight then. From 113 pounds I had fallen to ninety; my cheeks were pale and sunken and I limped; yes. actually hobbled from the extreme pain in my side. Then I read of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People and the testimonials in the News inspired a me with hope. I got the pills and took < them. Before many days I began to im prove and before I had finished one box I felt as if I could go out and walk for miles. I soon stopped limping and throngh the Pink Pills I soon bid goodbye to my head aches while the pain in my stomach and back slowly but Surely succumbed to the influence of these pills that seem to be able to persuado all pain to leave one’s body. Now.I am as I used to be; well and strong, lighthearted and merry but never without the pills. See I have got some of them now,” and from a nearby desk she handed out one of the boxes. v Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a con dejsed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore, shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to femkles, t' such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the ilflCd, fiBirgatgM theglgwof health to pale and sallow cheeks, in nieh they effect a Radical care in all cases arising from mental worry, over-work, or excesses of whatOTef nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never In loose bulk) at SO cents a box or six boxes for <3.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medi cine Comoanv. Schenectadv. N. Y.

SHE NEVER KNEW. A ton Francisco Girl Marrtad to n Man She Did Not Love. * A complaint filed with the county clerk In San Francisco furnishes evi dence that some men have peculiar no tions as to what constitutes a Joke. In this case the funny man stands an ex cellent chance of being soundly casti gated by some male relative of his vic tim, Who is a young lady whom the Jokist tricked Into a marriage. Miss Ines Mercer, a young New York gtrl, was traveling through Oregon In May last with her parents. The journey was of. the dawdling variety, the tour ists having means and time at their dis posal, and a rather lengthy stay was made at Portland. There Miss Mercer’s i talent as an amateur actress became j known and some society people induced the young New Yorker to take part In a play which was to be performed in aid of charity. Tho affair was placed in the hands of one R. B. Westcott, who had experience in some matters, and during rehearsals which preceded the performance It was noticed by other members of the company that he paid a great deal of attention to Miss Mer cer. The young lady neither encour aged nor repelled, feeling no interest whatever in the man. After the stand ard play, which formed the greater part of the evening’s entertainment, had been performed the performance con cluded with a farce, which was espe cially written and produced for the oc casion by Westcott. In that farce a marriage ceremony was to take place between the hero and heroine, played by Westcott and Miss Mercer, respec tively. So, under the Impression that the whole affair was purely farcical.Miss Mercer went through the marriage cere mony on the stage with Westcott. This Occurred on May 24 last and on Sept. 15 Miss Mercer learned for the first time that it was no farce, but a genu ine, binding ceremony that took place between herself and Westcott. The lat ter had a marriage license in his inside pocket and the nuptial knot was tied by no amateur actor, but by a real live clergyman engaged for the purpose. On learning the facts in the case Miss Mer cer’s parents at once took steps to annul the matriage, the first step being tjb? J filing of complaint with the county clerk at San IJrancisco, where Westcott 1 at present resides. The latter affects | still to regard the whole affair as a joke | and says he will interpose no objection i to the annulment. Miss Mercer’s broth- j er, an athlete of some renown in his : circle, says little about the affair be yond expressing a deep conviction that should he ever meet Mr. Westcott the latter will be likely to hear and feel something to his disadvantage. A MINIATURE SEA, In Utah There Is an Artificial lake with Wares Like the Ocean. Out in southwestern Utah there is an irrigating reservoir covering so large an area in the open sandy desert that the wind has a sweep sufficient to raise waves five or six feet high. About eight miles of the border of this reservoir is an artificial bank, and unless a method of keeping the waves oft this bank were adopted the owners of the prop erty would some day find that most of the stored water had escaped through a crevasse. To provide the necessary protection an inexpensive breakwater was con structed, which was recently described by W. P. Hardesty in an article on the Swan Lake works, of which the reser voir is a part The inside slope of the banks is one foot rise in a horizontal distance of five feet, and the face is protected by cobble-stone in some places and by willows in others, the latter giv ing the best results. They were ob tained early in the spring and fall, when they will sprout. A square trench is made in the bank down to the high water mark, and the butts of the wil lows laid in it. Dirt Is then thrown over the butts and rocks laid over the projecting ends. This has been found to make a fait temporary protection, and the'cuttings begin to grow imme diately, reaching a height of four or five feet during the first year. This protects the bank from ordinary waves, but to keep the unusually high ones from it, which are pretty sure to cause damage, a floating breakwater is em ployed. This was constructed by first driving a line of piles into the reservoir about fifteen feet from the toe of the bank. They were driven from twenty to twenty-five feet apart, and a row of cedar logs about twelve inches in diameter was strung along on top of the water between them. The ends of the logs are fastened together with chains, and the logs are fastened to the piles in such a way that they rise and fall with the j waves. This boom has been found to break the force of the waves quite ef fectually. The fastenings to the piles are sometimes broken loose in storms, and to protect the bank in such cases a simple plan has been adopted. A wire about tho size of a telegraph wire is strung at Intervals from the piles to the bank. A loop or rider of wire is then passed over the first line and fast ened firmly to one of the legs in the boom. In case the log breaks loose it is guided by the wires straight to the shore and still offers some protection to the bank- j Quill ty, A'ot Place.
