interview with a reporter she said: !
"Ever aince I eon remember I hiivis be n '
a lireat sufferer from neuralgia. About j
three years a the disease aeeiind to j
grow worse. J'he pain in my head be- '
came almost unbearable. I had sump de-
cnyed teeth axtractiil, thinking that per- '
haps they had ajrTavated the malady, but
no relief resulted. I was treated tiy the
best physicians, amuiiu them a faith cure

thing for me except give temtmrary relief.
"About a ypur ago I mw an advert ae. i

wheu I had used two boxes all svuiptoms

him to take Jn a deep breath before

Sealing jVo bongcr Pays.
Although the Sealers' Association of
Vancouver passed a unanimous resolu
tion a few weeks ago not to send out
any sealing schooners until next Au- ,
gust, nearly all the vessels are now I
fitting out to start on a cruise as Is
customary at this time. Only one
schooner made expenses last year, but
all are going to try It again this year.
It was stated some weeks ago that
most of the Ban Francisco sealing
schooners had actually gone Into other
busujeae, some being at that time out
ward bound with general cargoes for
southern ports, while others were fit
ting out to go otter hunting.

While unpacking a sample order of
chlnaware from (lernuiny the other
day Frank C. Young, a Hecond street
importer, (Uncovered a blue envelope
tucked away lu a vane. On openlm It
a letter written in German was din
cloned. Being an expert German nebul

which read an follows: "To whom it
may concern: My brother, WUhelm

years ago for America, where he In

The Ijongeet Lived Animals.
It Is generally agreed among natural
ists that the tortoise is the longest lived
of all animals. There are many In
stance of them attaining the extraor
dinary age of 360 years, while one Is
actually mentioned as reaching the un
paralleled age of 405 years. Notwith
standing these examples, which, of
course, are exceptionally rare, the or
dinary tortoise only lives, on an aver
age, from 100 to 160 years.
