TOE DRUG CLERK'S STORY. ' Be Talks of Headaches and Nerrontnen and Gives a Cure for Both. From the Evening News. Newark, N. J. The following interesting story as told by Henry Maier, who hands out medicine over the counter of Dr. An drew F. Burkhardt's drug store at 271 Orange Street, this cits, will prove of interest to all sufferers from head ache and nervousness. He said: "I was not always strong and robust as I am now. Long hours of work and study had left me in a wretched condition. Frightful, lingering head aches found me a ready victim, and at times I'was so nervous that the drop ping of a pin would cause me to give a violent start, and then I would be seized with a fit of trembling that was, to put It mildly, exceedingly bothersome. Well, I began to doctor myself. Now I flat ter myself that I know something of medicine; but with all my knowledge, I could find nothing that would cure those terrible headaches or put an end to my extreme nervousness. When I picked up a bottle my hand would shake as though I had the chills, and if it was a powder that I was handling I stood a good chance of sprinkling it all over these black trousers. Things went from bad to worse, and I soon realized that a man of my physical condition had better not attempt to mix any medicine. " 'Try a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, said Dr. Burkhardt, one day; and as you know ihe doctor's advice is al ways worth following I got the Pink Pills and began to take them. Aladdin's lamp never performed the wonders of these pills. Would you believe it? Be fore I had taken the contents of one box my headache began to give me a day off occasionally, and soon it left me entirely. How about my nervous ness? Well, the pills put an end to that with almost startling abruptness. You ee I know enough about the business to appreciate the importance of follow ing the prescribing physicians' direc tions, and by paying strict attention to those given by Dr. Williams with each box of his Pink Pills. I was soon an other fellow. Look at me now' A pic ture of health, eh? Well, that is what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do for a man, or a woman either. See, I can hold this glass of water out now without spil ling a drop, but I couldn't do that two months ago, and "What is it. ma'am?" he asked as a neatly dressed woman came up to the counter. "A box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "Yes. ma'am, fifty cents, please. Thank you." "These Pink Pills are great things," eaid Mr. Maier, as he turned to the re porter again, and the latter, after all he had heard, thought so too. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blcod and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y.. for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50. JETSAM.

In certain towns of Germany the tele phone is introduced by tobacconists as an additional attraction to customers. In France a very good gas is made from the fatty materials contained in the soapsuds after washing wools and yarns. Of the 343,000 young conscripts who presented themselves for military ser vice in the French army last year, no fewer than 22.000 did not know how to read and write. A horse can draw on metal rails one and two-thirds as much as on asphalt pavement, three and one-third times as much as on good Belgian blocks, five times as much as on good cobblestone, twenty times as much as on good earth road, and forty times as much as on sand. European ladies are often invited to the harems of the rich Moors in Mo rocco. Some time ago one of the In mates a beautiful young girl fainted at the sight of one of the lady visitors removing her gloves. The young lady thought she was removing a thick skin from her hand, and the sight frightened her so much that it was some time be fore she could regain consciousness. There is a bank cashier still living in Chicago who was the hero of a wonder ful performance Just after the great fire In 1S70. The books of the bank in which he was employed were entirely de stroyed by the flames, and with no data except the pass books of the depositors and his memory, this man restored all the fifteen hundred accounts so suc cessfully that every depositor was sat isfied. The splitting of the forest trees by frost is popularly ascribed to the same cause as the bursting of water pipes, namely, the expansion of the sap in turning into Ice. But this is not the case. The splitting is due to the con traction of the wood by frost in a sim ilar way, but in less degree to what happens when the wood is dried. When the thaw comes the trees expand to their original dimensions. The powder used in the big guns is queer-looking stuff. Each grain is a, hexagonal prism an Inch wide and two thirds of an inch thick, with a hole bored through the middle of it. In ap pearance it resembles nothing so much as a piece of wood. If you touch a match to it it will take seven or eight seconds to go off. Slow-burning powder like this is employed in cannon because It does not strain the gun so much. The quicker the explosion, the great the shock and the shorter the life of th weapon. FROM OTHER LANDS. To call a man a German spy Is in France a sure way of securing his ar rest.

The furniture revival next year for the drawing room will be the rosewood and red velvet of over fifty years ago, when there was less style, but more solidity. iTHE KINDLY LIGHT. RELIGION AND REFORM THE WORLD OVER. The Might of Life Has Blessings Tro Beturn. to the Puritan Sabbath Ser mons ffrom Bible Texts Notes from the Rum's Horn. HE evening heav ens drooped on high; My heart was droopinjj too; I saw no stars: saw but the sky Deep-dyed an ebon hue. My heart revived; again aloft I turned my . glance, and there A thousand stars Ehone clear and bright And this message to me bare: The night of life has blessings true Whose beauties ne'er are seen. While men note not the stars, but view The darkness in between. The Faritan Sabbath. The Rev. W. C. Prince in a book en titled "Among the Northern Hills" rightly urges a return to the strict puri tan methods of Sabbath keeping. He says: "They greatly mistake who imagine that in the minds and memories of all children who were brought up In the old-fashioned puritan ways of 'keeping Sunday there is any pain or dislike to the day, produced by the rigidness with which we were made to keep it. But Its memories are more deeply ancmore tenderly cherished by those children, now grown to be old men and women, than any memories of the other days. One day in seven the boy lived more or less in company not of this world. He thought it hard sometimes often. "But today, after fifty years In the work of the world, I challenge him, whoever he be, to answer you what part of his yourlg life and young reading is most precious to him what, if he must forget, would he desire now to retain longest? He will tell you that his mem ories of old Sundays at home, of Sun day mornings and Sunday evenings, of the church and its people, of family scenes, and books read with brothers and friends on Sundays are his most constant, most enduring, and most be loved subjects of memory. "I do not take any stock in the com mon saying of this day that the puri tan Sunday was Injurious to the char acter of the children, because they so gladly escaped from its bonds into free dom that they went to the other ex treme. I believe if you could poll the honest vote today of the sons of old Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congrega tional and other families. In which they kept Sunday In the most rigid puritan style, and who are now keeping it in the free-and-easy style of our time, they would be well nigh unanimous in say ing that they would prefer to have their children taught to keep Sunday as they used to keep it, rather than brought up as now, practically without any sever ance between the life of the first day nd the life of the other six." Olre Us Onr Dally Bread. (Give us this day our daily bread. Matt. 6:11.) Not bread for to-morrow, or next month, or next year, but bread for to day. Our heavenly Father wants us to come to him every day, and get our bread from his hand fresh. He wasis to have us talk to him daily about the things we need, as we like to have our children do with us. It is trying to get our bread too far in advance, without regard to God, that keeps the world full of sin and trouble. The man who robs a bank wouldn't do it, if he looked to God dally for his support. The saloon keep er and the gambler, the forger and the harlot, turn their faces toward the pit because they do not look to God for their dally bread. The man who asks God for his bread, will also ask his blessing upon the means by which he is to obtain it, and an honest prayer in the morning will be sure to end In an honest day's work. If we pray right we shall be sure to do right. Another thing: When we make a true prayer for our own bread, we ask God to feed the world, and that makes it impossible to take a loaf from another that does not belong to us. To pray this prayer with the heart will make us brotherly, diligent, prudent, economical and thoughtful. It will make us active in both hand and mind, compassionate toward the poor, and willing to make sacrifices for the good of others. No loafer or dishonest man can offer this petition. Tfelp Yoar Pastor. "A minister who Is worthy of the name can stand an empty purse better than an empty pew or an empty prayer meeting. It Is a disgrace that failure to pay an honest salary should straiten a pastor's purse; but the spiritual empti ness afflicts his heart the most keenly. Perhaps yoirr pastor is wondering what has become of you on the evenings of devotional meetings. The better man or woman you are the more you are missed; the worse you are the more need to go. It may be that your pastor is disheartened by the emptiness of your pew on the Sabbath. He has care fully prepared a discourse for your ben efit; you have lost It; both he and you suffer from that absence. For one, I am ready to confess that I never made any converts to the truth In an empty pew, and never have delivered a sermon loud enough to awaken a parishioner who was dozing at home, or strolled off to some other church. If a good reason keeps you at home, try to send a sub stitute; Invite some friend who seldom hears the gospel, to go and occupy your eat; your minister gets & hearer, and the hearer may get what will save his soul. Church members sometimes com plain that their minister does not 'draw a larger congregation; yet they do noth ing to draw outsiders to the house of God by a cordial invitation to come. Help your pastor to fill the house." Rev. Theo. L. Cuyler. Blessed to Be as Bless In ff. "God blesses you that you may be a blessing to others. Then he blesses you a second time la being a blessing to others. It is the talent that is used that multiplies. Receiving, un less on (rives in turn makes one full and proud and selfish Give out the best of your life in the Master's name for the good of others. Lend a hand to every one who needs. Be ready to serve at any cost those who require your ser vice. Seek to be a blessing to every one who comes for but a moment under your Influence. This is to be angel-like. It is to be God-like. It is to be Christ like. We are in this world to be useful. God wants to pass his gifts and bless ings through us to others. When we fall as hip messengers, we fail of our mission." J. R. Miller, D. D. How to Read. Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie In a recent article In The Bookman on "Books and Culture," thinks the majority of people have not learned how to read. They read for information or for refreshment, when they should read for enrichment. He says: "What is essential to culture Is a deeper knowledge obtained by appropriating the best thoughts of others so that they become a part of ourselves. This knowledge is not merely something added by the mem ory; it is something possessed by the soul. A pedant is formed by his mem ory; a man of culture is formed by the habit of meditation, and by the con stant use of the imagination. A man of receptive mind and heart meditating on what he sees, and getting at its meaning by the divining rod of the imagination, discovers the law behind the phenomena, the truth behind the fact, the vital force which flows through all things and gives them their signifi cance. The first man gains Information; the second gains culture. "To get at the heart of books, we must live with them and in them: we must' make them our constant companions. . . . The reading of a real book ought to enlarge the vision, deepen the base of conviction, and add to the reader whatever knowledge, insight, beauty and power it contains. . . . Some readers see only a flat surface as they read; others find the book a door into a real world, and forget that they are dealing with a book. The real readers get beyond the book into the life which it describes." We Mast Be Born from Above. (Be partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4.) But how does the fallen man re ceive the divine nature? What must he do to be born of God? How can he have such a change effected in his nature that he will keep the law because he loves the Lawmaker? It comes through giving up sin and receiving Jesus Christ. "As many as received him (not an ad miration for his life, or character; or somebody else's opinion of him, but him for all that the soul needs, and all that the Bible says he is Prophet, Priest and King) to them gave he power (privi lege, right) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe (present tense not in a past age, but now) on his name." And this Is the only process by which any one ever has, or ever will be born again. "For there is none other name under heaven (no other way) given among men whereby we must (can) be saved." "He that believeth not is condemned already (not because he has been committing sin all his life, but) because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Keep this thought always In mind, that the thing which makes people unfit for heaven, is to reject the Spirit of God which was brought Into this world by Jesus Christ and this is done every hour that we reject his divine govern ment. God blames no sinner for doing sinful things, but he condemns him for retaining a sinful nature when It Is so easy to be delivered from it. Echoes from Other Anrlli. Epworth Herald: The fashionable dancing school Is as good a kindergar ten as the devil cares about. Reformed Church Messenger: A wise and holy rule for our neighbor's faults this: To speak of them to God and for get them before men. Cumberland Presbyterian: The chief danger to the cause of Christianity is not the attacks of its enemies, but the unfaithfulness and inconsistencies of Its friends. The Voice: The railroads continue to prohibit employes from drinking, but congressmen and state legislators may freely Imbibe. Is running a railroad train more important than running a state? Religious Telescope: Paying only fifty cents a year to aid the cause of missions by a rich man does not go a great way in the direction of convincing his neighbors that he is sincere when he says, "Thy kingdom come." Religious Herald: Enjoyment of God's word Is proportional to our understand ing of it. The Bible Is not a book to be worshiped simplj- as an Idol. It is not a charm or talisman. It Is a message direct from our Feavenly Father, ex pressing his will concerning us and his love toward us, and we come to know and love him, apprehend all his thoughts toward us. only by giving a clear knowledge of this heaven-sent message. Then let us study it, delve Into its apparent mysteries and we shall "grow thereby." The Walk to Km man. Jesus can sometimes tell us more In an hour of sadness than in one of joy. If we would know what God told Daniel we must not be afraid of lions. When we tell Jesus what we know, htt will tell us what we ought to know. Christians get along faster when they travel in pairs. To fill the church with joy today, it is only necessary to show what the Bible says of Christ. Jesus walks with everyone who Is sad on his account. The man who Is interested In Christ will not long find the Bible a sealed book. When we open the Bible anywhere, we should pray that we may see the face of Christ. He told them things they were glad to tell to others. The man who carries God's message has wings on his feet. Jesus knew they were sad, but he also knew there was no reason for their be ing so. Temperance ,u India. The Maharajah of Baroda, India, re cently manifested his interest in . the progress of temperance work by issuing a mandate to the effect that no new liquor saloons should be opened In fu ture without the sanction of the pre siding official. He also provided that If five-sixths of the house owners and In habitants should present a plea that all the liquor shops should be closed, the official might give the necessary order.

Joshua 7:13) for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders with you.' " They were thus enjoined to prepare for the appearance of God as manifested through a miracle. 6 "And Joshua spake unto the priests saying, 'take up the ark of the Covenant (Numbers 4:15), and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark ol the Covenant, and went before the peo ple." 7 "And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to (Joshua 4:14. Chronicles 29:25) magnify thee in the sight of Israel, that they may know that (Chronicles 1:1) as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee." 8 " 'And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the Covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the Jordan (waters) ye shall (v. 17) stand still in Jor dan.' " They were first required to pause on the brink of the stream till the channel was laid dry. 9 "And Joshua said unto the children of Israel. 'Come hither and hear the words of your Lord, your God. Up to this time they did not know how they FORDS OF THE JORDAN. were to cross the river, but expected some surprise. 10 "And Joshua said, 'Hereby ye shall know that (Deuteronomy, 5:26. I. Sam uel, 17:26. Hosea, 1:10. Matthew, 16:16. I. Thessalonians. 1:9.) the living God is among you, and that he will without fail (Exodus, 33:22. Deuteronomy, 7:1. Psalms, 44:2.) drive out from before you the Canaanltes, and the Hittites. and the Hivites, and the rerizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusltes." 11 "Behold the ark of the Covenant , of (Mia, 4:13. Zech, 4: R. V.: 14; 6::-) the Lord of all the Earth passeth over before you into the Jordan." 12 "Now therefore (Joshua, 4:2) take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man." 13 "And it shall come to pass as sonr. as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above and they shall stand upon a heap" (Vs., 15-16, Psalms. 7S:13; 114:3). The promise of what is described in Verse 16. 14 "And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the Covenant before the people." 4 15 "And as they that bare the ark w e come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark wert dipped In the brim of the water (for the Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest)." The barley harvest, which is during the latter part of March and first of April in this warm and sheltered region. There are two or three series of banks to the Jordan. Nearest the usual banks at this place is a low, level beach, about twenty rods wide. 16 "That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon a heap very far from the city. A dam, that is beside (I.Kings, 4:12; 7:46.) Zaretan, and those that came down (Deuteronomy, 3:17.) toward the sea of the plain, even the salt (Genesis, 14:3. Numbers, 34:3.) sea failed and were cut off; and the people passed over right against Jericho." The waters suddenly receded and the Is raelites crossed to the promised land. 17 "And the priests that bare the ark of the Covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jor dan and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan."

Latest U. S. Gov't Report m The Cost of Cleaning Berlin. It is true that municipal affairs are, generally speaking1, conducted here more economically and much more thoroughly than is the case in Ameri can cities. Thus in 1875 the streets of IJerlin, covering a total area of 6,780, 000 square meters, were cleaned at an annual expenditure of 2,000,000 marks (5500,000). Now, the area of Berlin streets having increased by 1895 to over 8,000,000 square meters, the streets are cleaned for but 400,000 and cleaned, let me say, better than in any other large city in the world. This is due to system, to the excellent pavements, constantly renewed and mended, and to machine sweeping, which costs GO per cent less than the sweeping done by hand. It is the same with the street sprinkling. This is done during the season whenever needed, on hot, dusty days twice, and 1,200,000 cubic meters of water are used up in the thorough system of sprinkling between April 1 and November 15. The city does it at an expense of but 2,364.000 marks this year. Cor. Chicago Record.

Preservation of Wood. Common pine or even basswood may be rendered almost indestructible, it is said, by soaking in a solution composed of one part blue vitriol and twenty of water. A French railway contractor announces a method of treating planks, etc., that greatly enhances their value. He piles the lumber in a tank and then covers thickly with quicklime. Water is slowly added till the lime is slacked. In about a week the wood becomes im pregnated, and is ready for use. Tim ber prepared in this way has been used in mines and other exposed construc tions with good results. Dr. Feuch wanger gives an account of the experi ments made by him for the preserva tion of wood. He says that wood boiled first in lime water and then coated with silicate of soda, or liquid glass, will last a very long time.
