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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The cost of building is wonderfully
reduced by the use of machinery. Walls

which is about one dollar per cubic
foot, can be built for thirty or forty
cents per cubic foot by the employment

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. The mixture
is 15 per cent alkali and 10 per cent
