Blind Man Expert Whist Player. Bert Trim, a blind resident of Woonsocket, R. I., Is an expert whist player, being a valued member of a local club. He uses a special pack of cards, on which there are faint Im prints sufficient to tell him what they are, but which are far too fine for the ordinary touch. Trim, who has been blind since childhood, is now 30 years old. He plays the piano and cornet In excellent style and is often heard In local entertainments. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory If the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, It Is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but. also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De fiance Starch, as It can be applied much more tbnly because of its great er strength than- other makes. Cannon May Break Record.

Interesting Glimpse of This Great In stitution in New York and How It Came to Be Estab lished. Visitors to Staten Island, New York, walking along the shore road near New Brighton find themselves sud denly In the presence of a large tract of ground separated from the outer world by a massive iron fence seven feet high, within which five great stone buildings like Greek temples fill the eye, their pediments supported by a row ot lofty columns with Ionic cap itals. Broad flower beds embellish the lawns, which are sufficiently pro tected from the summer sun by many fine old elms, and an actual village of smaller but equally massive buildings are .clustered in . the rear. A brick gateway stands in the center of the north side of the grounds, which im mediately dispels any lingering mys tery, for on the arch above are the three words "Sailors' Snug' Harbor." Here disabled sailors who have passed the sixtieth mile' stone of life and who have served five years un der the American flag may find de lightful refuge from the storms and vicissitudes of life. It is not neces sary that this five years be served dur ing five successive years; all that Is required is the knowledge that the 60 months have been sailed under the Stars and Stripes; and if the man has lost a foot or a hand or has been in any way so injured as to render him incapable aboard ship, and is in digent and destitute, he is accepted at a far earlier age than the 60 years of the physically sound. Perhaps the grandest part of the endowment is found in the fact that the institution is open to the races of the world. Sitting within its halls the Norseman brushes elbows with the Englishman, the Dane holds the match that lights the pipe of the tottering old man who claims the port of Bremen as his birthplace. Indeed, the Ameri can seaman does not appear to pre dominate on the . roll of the Sailors' Snug Harbor; at least more broken English is heard in a day spent there than the simon pure article. Daniel Delehanty, late commander In the United States navy, is at pres ent governor of Snug Harbor, and since its foundation in 1801 there have been only four other governors. The first was John Whetton and the sec ond was Augustus Depeyster, and in these modern times, when the prop erty has grown to such fabulous value and when the number of inmates has reached a total of nearly a thousand, a man of great executive ability is re quired to administer the general gov ernment of Snug Harbor. The exec- THE WALLED MANILA. PHILIPPINE CITY AS DEFINED BY ITS DEFENSES. Ancient Bulwark Tell an Interesting Story of the Struggles and Vicis situde of the Old City Which Has Now Been Outgrown. The recent fire which swept part of the town of Manila lying beyond the old wall of defense of the city has re minded one again of the fact that there is an old and new Manila and that all the history of the past of the The Double Gate In Manila' Wall. Philippine city is written into the two and three-quarters miles of moss grown stones and grass-covered crev ices of the old wall. The modern tour ist who walks about Manilla, telling her towers and counting her bulwarks. finds himself fascinated by a construc tion that bears evidence of many build ers and widely-separated plans of de fense. The whole story of all the known history of the Philippine islands from the days of naked barbarism to the zenith of Spanish power, is written into these walls. Siege and surrender, defense and conquest have all left their Inscriptions, and it needs but the historic imagination to give these stones speech to tell their tale of three centuries. The first wall, built in 1570, was of hewn logs, at best a feeble defense; and in 1574 the first attack of Chinese pirates overcame the fortress. Li Ma Hon, a Chinese general and big boss, having 2,000 Chinese soldiers and a Japanese general to make them fight, found his realm grown too small for him, and, sighing for other worlds to conquer, set sail for Manila. His 70 "large vessels" stopped at the mouth of the harbor at Mariveles, while 600 RETREAT. utive offices are situated in the mid-, die one of the five great frontal build ings, where Gov. Delehanty sits at his well-litered desk, with his , clerical staff hard by. This splendid institution was the gift of Robert Richard Randall, whose father was a master mariner, accord ing to history, who flourished about 150 years ago, privateering the Gulf of Mexico and probably on the Span ish Main as well. His headquarters were not far from the present site of New Orleans; and the Spanish vessels bound to and from the Gulf and other ports and the mother country in Europe constituted the booty or prey of Capt. Randall. For this was fully 25 years before the war of Independence, when it was a common thing for governments to Chapel at Sailors' Snug Harbor. grant permission to privateer a sort of licensed piracy, which would not, of course, be tolerated in this era. When Capt. Randall died his son Robert Richard inherited his prop erty, and subsequently formed a strong friendship with Alexander Hamilton, having met that statesman in New York city, where Randall finally established himself, though most of his land and estates remained in the south. One day he was introduced in New York to. a large land owner, who, in broken health and unable to with stand the asperities of the northern winter, offered to exchange a portion of his real estate to the northward of the old city for Randall's land in the south. This was subsequently ac complished ; and it is this property that at the present time yields the enormous income that supports the Snug Harbor. With all the skill of his brilliant intellect Alexander Hamilton prepared the will of Robert Richard Randall, and to such purpose that to the pres ent day it remains impeccable, like an impregnable citadel built upon a rock. It is a felony, according to the word ing of the document, to sell any por tion of the estate, and it is also a fel ony for anyone to receive it. men were sent across the bay to take the city. The invaders entered the citv. burned the houses, destroved the place and killed many persons, but the Spaniards rallied and drove them out. j Gen. Salcedo was up near Dagupan, 120 miles north of Manila, at the time and hearing of the trouble, hastened to Manila with his troops. He prompt ly attacked the Chinese and drove them away to Pangasinan, where they set up a little despotism and lorded1 it over the helpless natives in oppres sive fashion. Legaspi gathered an ex pedition and succeeded in trapping; the enemy, but the wiley Chinese dug a trench by night and escaped with' their boats into the open sea. In 1590 Gov. Desmarines began the permanent fortification of Manila, where Fort Santiago now stands, and this remains to-day, being the oldest piece of masonry under the stars and stripes. After 317 years of thrilling history, the old stones are still in the wall. Fort Santiago is the Mecca of the oriental curio hunter. What the tower is to London, the Vatican to Rome, and Bunker Mill monument to the United States, Fort Santiago is to the Philippines. Its square walls and em battled turrets have, stood unchanged since the days of the pilgrims, and! still hundreds pass by the old gateway and give no thought to it all. The waters of the Pasig every day wash the old stones placed in 1590, Since the American occupation, some changes have been made, but the old fort still stands, though the old artil lery has been removed. With the establishment of the civil government in 1901 the use of the place as a for tress was forever abandoned and it is now used as an office building. Many strange things have happened under the shadow of the old fort, and there are old men living in Manila who shake their heads wisely and intimate that if they were to tell all they know, it would make an astonishing tale in deed. How much they really do know is a question, but it is certain that the natives have a great fear of the old place. The records of the church historians associate the place with many supernatural manifestations. Some saints who had been buried, and were supposed to remain so, as a spe cial favor to the city failed to stay bur ied, and appeared on the walls of the fort with strange portent for the be lieving.

Father's Explanation of Lightning Not Satisfactory to Him. ; Little Paul was four years old when the western city in which he lived was swept one night by a terrible storm. Wind, thunder and lightning played havoc, and, while other members of the family were huddled in dark cor ners, Paul watched the illumination of the sky with great delight. The next morning at breakfast he asked his father what caused the streaks of fire across the sky, and his father, with great pains, essayed to explain. Paul listened attentively and apparently accepted what was told him, but, when he found attention diverted from him self, he leaned over to his aunt, who sat beside, him, and whispered: "It wasn't that, auntie. It was God scratching matches on the sky." Danger in Signals. "I was playing a game of cards in a mining camp in the Rockies," said, the mild-mannered man, "when sud denly my partner, by way of a gentle hint, held up two fingers to indicate that he had a pair.

In a certain preparatory school in Washington an instructor one t day made the statement that "every year a sheet of water 14 feet thick is raised to the cloud 8 from the sea."

For the first time I learned, from an eyewitness, something, about Spitsber gen, that desert Arctic island, 500 miles north of the North Cape of Nor way and within 700 miles of the north pole; a frost-desolated land, where the grass grows longer than the trees, and huge glaciers in the ice-bridged valleys amid the jagged mountains move majestically down into the sea. until mighty icebergs, a monstrous birth, break off and rise to the surface amid thunderous reports once the only sound that broke the profound silence of those awful solitudes. Spitsbergen is the only spot of earth that is positively known as No Man's Land; it is the possession of no coun try, and has nothir oven resemblin,, a specified government. The island seems likely to remain No Man's Land, though it is said that an effort has been made by Norway to establish some sort of protectorate over It- National Magazine. Slander Suit.

Perfect Womanhood The greatest menace to woman's permanent happiness in life is the suffering that.comes from some de rangement of the feminine organs. . Many thousands of women have realized this too late to save their health, barely in time to save their lives. To be a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her hus band, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her ener gies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, bead ache, bearing-down sensations, ner vousness, irregularities or the "blues," she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as , Lydia E.

STOMACH! STRIKE SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT FOR INDIGESTION. Or. Williams' Pink Pilla Cured Thla Woman and Have Cured Many Hundreds of Other Casea of . Common Ailments , Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in the month, heavy dull headache and a dull, sluggish feeliug these are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on a strike; that it is no longer furnislung to the blood the fall quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every organ suffers. There are two methods of treatment, the old one by which the stomach ia humored by the use of predigested foods and artificial ferments, and the new one by which the stomach is toned up to do the work which nature intended of it. A recent cure by- the tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81 Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. . She says:-. "I suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backaches and was confined to my bed the greater part of tliree years. I was under the care of our family physician most of the time, but did not seem to get better. "I was completely run-down and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my complex ion pale. I suffered from flashes of heat, followed suddenly by chills. I had awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. I could get bnt little rest at night, as ' my sleep was broken, and fitful. As a result I lost several pounds in weight and became very ner vous. . "I was in a wretched condition when I heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health. I was encouraged b" this to keep on until I was. cured. My friends and neighbors often remark what a changed woman I am and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." ; V ' , These wonderful pills are useful in a wide range of diseases such as anramia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headaches, and even locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis. The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink , Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. . - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by. all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for 2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
