r Fate ol Bismarck's Sometime Flame.
s On Potsdamer street, one of the
[ fashionable thoroughfares of Berlin,
f an old woman of seventy-five is selling
newspapers every night. Her history
is a pathetic one. Nobody wonld
snsDeotit to-day by looking at her,
but she was once an old flame of Bismarck's.
Many of the passers-by
know this fact and buy papers off her
on that account. Bismarck himself,
though, has forgotten the existence
of the old woman, and she is too proud
to remind him of it.

Vith a crew of 200 men the ponderous

The history of the Puritan hi unique
nd interesting. The original pattern
ras designed by Ericsson in 1864, but
othing was done for several years,
xcept to build the rough hull. In
875 the construction of the boat was

il in building thn new monitor. In
pite of the zeal with whioh the
uilder entered upon his task, he soon
ound that he had undertaken a great
esponsibility. There was a disposiion
on the part of Congress to critiise
his workmanship, and this was
till further aggravated by a la ok of
onfidenos throughout the country.
)espite the hostility of the public,
owever, and frequent interruptions,
be boat was completed in 1883 and
iunehed for the first time upon the
'ater.
Witn tne cnaDgee wmcu aavu tRi4.cn
lace in naval and engineering science
rithin the past few years, the Governlent
has found it necessary to relodel
the Puritan from top to bottom,
n accordance with this decision the
oat has been in the hands of experinced
contractors for some time. The
rork of remodeling the immenso
tructure has been formally oomileted,
and the monitor again placed
ipon its active mission ot protecting
he Nation's coast.
In the judgment of experienced enineers
the Puritan is one of our

And roosters straight and tall?

Throw shadows on the wall,

And a man with bushy beard.

Ana jumps to catch them all,
But they evade his tiny clutch,

Clutch at power, wealth and fanje,

Unique Faculties of Winged Creatures.
The Chinese water-pheasant can fly
in the air, dive and swim under water,
using its wings as fins, and walk and
run on the land, and do all three well.
The water-ousel of England can do the
sapie. The dragon fly possesses the
unique faculty among winged creatuarcs
of flying backwards and. forwards
and sideways without turning
its body. There are very few insects
that the swallow, with its marvelous
speed and dexterity and its long inherited
experience, cannot catch, liu!
the dragon fly is one of them. The
dragon fly, without apparently troubling
itself, will keep a few feet ahead
of a swallow for half an hoar at s
strctch, nnd, no matter how swiftlj
the swallow moves, the dragon fly
is never just there when it make
its swoop. This is becausei the
swallow has to turn its body, while
the dragon fly only reverses its wings.

THIRTY YEARS AN INVALID,
BRONCHIAL CATARRH, STOMACH AND
LIVER TROUBLE.
Mm. Safford, of Canton, New York,
Wife of George Safford, the Wellknown
Apostle of Fish Protection,
Cared by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People.
From the Plaindealer, Canton, JV. F.
There is no man better known in 8t.
Lawrence County, New York, than Mr.
George Safford, of Canton, from the interest
he has taken in flsh culture and preservation,
and from his lately issued work entitled,
"Man, Present and Future," whiob
has attracted such wide attention.
But it Is not of him, but Mrs. Safford that
this article i? written, and her sudden recovery
to a condition of excallent health
after thirty years of suffering with bronchial
f?ato*T-h and livor onmnlflI nf
During all those long dreary years Mrs.
Safford was a hopeless invalid, apd never
expected to enjoy any health, as physicians
and remedies bad proved a'ike, vain, and it
was not until 1895 when, by the joint recommendation
of Mrs. William Orr, of Mnlone,
N. Y., and Mrs. James Bird, of Canton, the
lady began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People.
We print Mr. 8afford's affidavit, which details
in full all the circumstances of Mrs.
Safford's recovery:
8t. Lawrence Cobktt, ss.
George 8a?ford being duly sworn says:
"For upward of thirty years prior to 1895
my wife had been ailing. While not confined
to her bed her health was very poor.
She bad out little appetite, the circulation
of her blood was very poor, and she had the
other symptoms attendant upon a disordered
condition of the liver, but in her case this
liver difficulty was complicated with catarrh
of the bronchial tubes. She used various
remedieg without any uerraanftnt relief. In
the fall of 1895 she was recommended to
take Dr. Williams' Pint Pills by Mrs. William
Orr, of Malone, New York, and Mrs. James
T^ird, of Canton. Believing that a remedy
recommended so highly must possess some
merit, she commenced the use of the Pink
Pills, and experienced immediate relief. I
wish to state here that no other remedy used
by her showed as quick results, or produced
any permanent change in her condition. The
Pink Pills seemed to fill the long felt want.
Whenever the old feelings begin to be.experienced
my wife takes a dose of the Pink
Pills and all is well again. From what I
have seen them accomplish for her, I have
become a firm believer In the efficacy of the
pills, and while my health has never required
me to use them, I feel that a supply
of the pills is a necessity in the household.
I have nothing but praise for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and believing that suffering
humanity ought to know what they will do,
and actuated by no other motive, 1 have
made this statement.

15th day of September, 1896.

as suppressions, irregularities and all form?
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pnle aM sallow

Honse Wrens.
House wrens, as the name suggests,
delight to dwell in the vicinity 01
mankind. If suitable boxes, gourds
or hollow receptacles of any kind are
provided, they will enter at once into
? possession, and will repay the appreciative
friends with their sweet, tinkling
little songs. They are very bold, and
will readily attack birds much larger
than themselves, as the bine birds <>nd
swallows; and will even attack cats
when they approach their nests. If
no better provision for housekeeping
[ can be found, they will take possession
.of a knothole in the weather boarding,
, crevice in the wall, an old teapot if
i hung up, or an old hat stuffed into a
broken window. They are lively and
useful in habits, always cheerful, and
- are almost as familiar about the house
j as the neighborly robins. In Europe
i the name Kitty Wren is popularly
given to the common variety in many
; parts of the country.?New England

Turkeys Spoiled With Moth Balls.
William Hamilton, who lives on the
Pierce Creek road, five miles from
Binghamton, N. Y., has a flock of fifty
lurkeys, which will probably be turned '

some weeks ago Mr. Hamilton's wife :
lad occasion to nnpack her winter
ixrs, and the moth balls which had !
>een used to preserve them from the
nsects, were thrown outdoors. The
urkevs came npontbem and ate them.
They did not appear any the worse,
tnd nothing was thought of it until
>ne day a turkey was killed for dinier.
When the family tasted of the
rhite meat there began a fit of coughng.
The meat was so permeated with
he taste of the moth balls as to make
t almost uneatable. Several other
)irds were cooked,, but the meat was
lainted with moth balls. ?New York !
