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

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

The Italian physicians who have

every disease known to science ave dis
covered. On tlie candles exposed for

of food sold in the open air, they found
the germs of tuberculosis, anthrax and
half a score of other maladies Noth

Running Doable Capacity.
In the year 1S94 the tie Kalb Fence
Co. of De Kalb, 111., doubled the ca
pacity for producing their lines over
1893, which gave them an output* ot
20 miles per day. The demand for their
goods has been so great the past sea
son, that in order to be able to supply :
their trade, they have been compelled i
this year to double the capacity of 1894, j
which now gives them an output of 40
miles per day.
This in itself speaks well for their
product and merits the attention and
inspection of our readers, and all that
are in need of smooth wire fencing of
any kind, and it will be to your inter

Spanish bull fighters get salaries as

actors. “First swords,” like Mazzan
tani or Guerrita. are among the richest
men in Spain. Guerrita. who is not yet
80, earns an income which is never less :
than $40,000 in one year, and owns near
Cadiz, a villa and park, where in the
winter he entertains his friends with
lavish hospitality. Mazzantini has
$400,000 invested, and it is a bad year

Grace before Meat
There’s a difference between being full of thanks
giving, and being full of Thanksgiving dainties.
But the one thing generally leads to the other. How
can it be helped when the turkey is so good, and the
pie so enticing? Here’s a helpful hint. For that
full feeling after Thanksgiving take a pill. Not
any pill, mind you. There are pills that won’t help
you. Take the pill that will. It’s known as Ayer’s
— an<l it’s perfect. It is sugar-coated, pleasant
to the paiate, and its operation, like that of nature,
is effective and without violence. Keep this in your
mind if you want to enjoy the holiday season:
