AN ALPENA MIRACLE, *ERS. JAS. X. TODD, OF LONG RAPIDS. DXSCUDS HER CRUTCHES. 9n an Interview with a Reporter She Re sC vieW4 Her Experience and Tells t"e Isai Canso of the Miracle. (Prom te Argus, Alpena, Mich.). We have long known Mrs. Jas. M. Todd, #f Long Rapids, Alpena Co., Mich. She has i been a sad cripple. Many of her friends w tnow the story of her recovery; for the bone- 0 %t of those who do not we publish it to-day. light years ago she was taken with ner- W taus prostration, and in a few months with museular and indammatory rheumatism. It a affected her heart, then her head. Her feet & became so swollen she could wear nothing h an them; her hands were drawn all out of b shape. Her eyes were swollen shut more c than half the time, her knee joints teribly W swollen and for eighteen months she had to u be held up to be dressed. One limb became 83 mitirely helpless, and the skin was so diy and cracked that it would bleed. During bese eightyears she had .been treated by a score of physicians, and has also spent much ime at Ann Arbor under best medical advice. All said her trouble was brought on by hard work and that medicine would not cure, and l that rest was the only thing which would sase her. After going to live with her daugh- b ershe became entirely helpless and could iot even raise her arms to cover herself at sight. The interesting part of the story fol- h bws in her own words: "I was urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink n Kills for Pale People and at last did so. In bree days after I commenced taking rink Pills I could sit up and dress myself, and Miter using them six weeks I went home and sommenced working. I continued taking the pills, until now I begin to forget my irutches, and can go up and down steps a without aid. I am truly a living wonder, walking out of doors without assistance. "Now, if I can say anything to induce. ei hose who have suffered as I have, to try Pink Pills, I shall gladly do so. If other la ike sufferers will try Pink Pills according to lirections, they wil have reason to thank od for creating men who are able to con- ? uer that terrible disease, rheumatism. I p: ve in my own neighborhood recommended Y Pink Pills for the after effects of la grippe, and weak women with impure blood, and w Vith good results." Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith in the et eurative powers of Pink Pills, ax.d says they have brought a poor, helpless cripple back to lo her own milking, churning, washing.sew tag, knitting and in fact about all of her t household duties, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Willams' Pink Pills contain all the ele- . nents necessary to give new life and richness I so the blood and restore shattered nerves. si l'hey are for sale by all druggists, or may be ci ad by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Dompany, Schenectady, N.

OPPE .SE HICH of you boyi y is going after the ti new teacher ?" said e3 Ephraim Olds. fr It was an ex- ti tremely informal meeting of t h e [c West -Cary school 4board, held in ." Ephraim Olds's barn for con -' & venience. The sons ~of two of the di- gi dropped in.- . -- Ic "Yes, one of you boys has got te gi go," Marcus Loring appended. "Your dads are too old to be driving over th e s country after school-ma'ams." "Where is she 2" Wade Loring in- os qulired, lazily. q Wade had "clerked it" in a large2 u town, and wore better clothes than any fellow in West Cary, and held id very complacent opinion of himself. "Lives down to Trenton," his father m wesponded. b "And what does she look like?" b< Wade demanded.. He was smoking a cigarette. "If she's good-looking, you know, al T might think of it." "Pease hired her," said Mr. Olds, h "and he's the only one that's seen bi her." ; c Mr. Pease was looking at Wade hi Loring with shrewd eyes, which twinkled a little. g "Wal," he said, drily, "she ain't w, much to look at. A leetle too tall in a the first place, and kind o' big-j'inted -yes, kind o' bony. Don't know as I he can tell jest how she looks; I didn't Iodk at her no more'n I could help. nr Bhe. ain't no beauty. Beckon she's la nsigh on to forty. Malvina Fletcher's sI her name." inI "Ex-cuse me," said Wade Loring, to with a laugh. "You'll have to con- di vey my deep regrets to Malvina ~'etcher, Burt, my boy." s But Burt Olds followed him out ol nc the barn, looking anxious. He stood as in some awe of Wade-of his self-con-. fident air, his dressiness, his popu- tz larity with the girls. n "If one of us has got to go, Wade, m, you'd do me an immense favor"- hr : began. lbt '"I can't do it, my boy," said Wade, i decisively. "Drive fourteen miles and fourteen miles back again with an old b1 frump? That isn't me I" in '"It will use up a day about," Burt in isisted, "and I'm so busy with my in onions I can't spare a day. If my Ie crop's going to amount to anything, it's got to be attended to right along, a ( know you aren't busy just now--" e "Have a cigarette?2" said Wade. "No? Well, Ican't do it, Burt. Sorry, a, you know, but really I couldn't." i< And he sauntered away. 'Burt's father joined him later in his ~ i Burt was pulling weeds,.a "Wade won't go, will he?" he said.b "Wal, I'd go if I could, Burt, but 3 don't know what a twenty-eight-mile drive would do to my rheumatism. i7 i n: usn't stand riding lately, somehow." | "I'll go, father," Burt said dheeld ully. He was a quiet, modest young fel low, who tried to do the right thing, and was not ashamed of having it seen re tia he tried to. te He raised hils handsome blue eyes G2 and smiled at his regretful parent. "You're a good boy, Burt," said his G 'ather, warmly.. The West Cary school was to begi. uhe next Monday. At two o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, Burt drove up a. shady street in Tenton village, and inl hitched his horse before an inviting ra Little house painted in dull green, with cL a pretty porch,. andI a little bed oI foliage-plants, and1 a h-unmock. Ith~ A handsom-w, midle-aged woman 10 uwneredJ his rin!!. to aid. tr "I come from West Cary," Burt ex- th slainedI. t .'A~h rest i aldna has been expect g you," the lady answered, smfing. Will you take this porch chair while >u wait? It is cooler here." "Malvina's her husband's sister, I ppose," Burt thought, and whistled 'ftly while he waited. He had but five minutesto wait, anc, en a strange thing occurred. A slender young girl, with-chestnm ir crimped around her delicate face, ith bright, dark eves and a vivid col ring, tripped out of the house, and Look hands with him in the friendliest IV. ;'I was all ready, you see," she said, id her quick smile made two distinct mpleo. "Good-by, Tom!" She iged and kissed a fourteen-year-old >y, who had brought out a big sat iel. "Good-by, mamma!" another arm embrace. "I'm coming home )xt Saturday on the morning train, id I'll get back somehow. I'll write i you before then. Good-by !" Burt took the satchel, and followed te affectionate family group down the alk. He felt dazed. He did not know exactly what he wai. )ing. W7hen the blooming- young dy kissed her relatives yet again at te gate, he shook hands with them >th, confusedly. Then he blushed; t the young lady looked pleased. A light wind lifted the soft locks o r pretty hair, as they drove away. art hardly dared look at her. He did t find his voice till he had turned te first corner. "So vou are Miss Fletcher-Malvina letcher?" he said, abruptly. The new teacher turned her bright res upon him. "Who did you think I was?" she do. .anded. "Nobody-I-nobody," Burt falt ,ed. "Thank you!" Miss Fletcher caed, ughing; and Burt laughed. He was half afraid of this bright ung creature, -with her charming rettiness and her lively ways; and t, he felt oddly at ease with her, she as so cheerful and so friendly. He did not know how he did it, but. >mmencing stammeringly, he told her the little joke which Mr. Pease had >nceived and successfully carried rough. "How funny!" Malvina Fletchet ied. "And how eute of him! I be Dve I shall like him. I thought I tould when I saw him.

Onions I How far away and uninter-' ting they seemed!I The color in her cheeks waslike that a rose, and her eyes sparkled with ick sympathy and girlish enj'oy ent. The sun was waning when they ove into West Cary. Burt had stopped and bought caras els and bananas, and the half-emptied ags reposed in a companionable way stween them. Malvina had taken her hat off, for it i t war~m, and her flower-like face one forth in all its sweetness. Therefore, when Wade Loring came 'iving down the street in his new Lggy, and met Burt and the newl scher face to face, he almost dropped lines. He stared;~ his jaw dropped; he ew red and redder. Bewilderment. ie depicted on his face-disappoint ent, indignation. And Burt-he could not help it-as drove on, laughed. The new teacher went home at the d of the first successful week of her ors in the West Cary school, but e did not go by train Saturday morn g. She went izr Burt Olds's phae , Friday night, after school, and he oe back for her Sunday afternoon. It was by no means the only time e made a trip home inthe same way; ; >r did Burt "hitch up" only on Fri ye and Sundays. It became a matter of common. owledge that Burt Olds took the w teacher driving quite often on >onlight nights, and that they played cke's in Mr. Pease's parlor when ey did not go driving, and did other inicant things.

' The Size ot the racine eea n. The Pacific Ocean may be reckoned o include 60,000,000 square miles, or aore than one-third of the total area f the earth's surface. It extends hrough nearly 135 degrees of latitude, r three-eights of the world's circum erence-a stretch of 9000 miles from orth to south. From east to west it aries from an even greater length to ess than fifty miles. If confined by he smallest possible length of boundary ine, it would form a round pond 9300 ailesin diameter. The deepest sound ng made by the Challenger expedition -as in the Pacific, between the Caro ines and the Ladrones, and was 4475 athom3, or 26,850 feet: a greater depth han the height of any mountain in ie world except three. A still deeper ounding was made from the United 1tates ghip Tuscarora, of 4600 fathoms, 27,600,) at the entrance to the Sea ovt )kotski; that being probably the teepest reliable sounding ever made. The .acific Ocean has not been ex lored nearly so thoroughly as the At ntic, and generalizations from the omparatively few statistics available aay be subject to considerable inaccur ,cy; but, putting together the recorded oundings, and taking into account an stimate of the depth based upon the wiftness of the tide wave, it seens irobable that the average depth of the 'acific may safely be put at 3000 athoms, (18,000,) or nearly 3J miles. 'his gives the entire contents of the 'acific as nearly 232,000,000 cubic ailes. Some conception of one cubic aile may be got from the statement hat, if we had a block of buildings of hat size, it would take an hour to ralk around it at a good pace, and a airly easy staircase to the top of it rould contain 10,000 steps, while hirteen cathedrals as high as St. Paul's ould be piled up on one another with ut reaching to the top. The cubic contents expressed in feet 3 thirty-four trillions, (thirty-four aillion million million.) This is a umber it is not easy to realize; it is o great that if a 'million clocks ticked ,nee a second for a million years their ombined tickings would nct amount o it. As each cubic foot or water eighs over sixty-two pounds, the reight of the Pacific is over 2000 tril ion pounds, or 950,000,000,000,000, 00 tons.-Longman's Magazine. AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE.

She gave a cry of -anture, for it was her Northern lover, tid then exclaimed with consterna don: "How did you get here?" "By crossing the line." "But if you are found here they vill kill you." "I could not resist seeing you." Then in an agitated mariner she in ormed him that a detachment of outhern soldiers was encamped be ond the small wood, and that the licer in command, was his formei ival. "You must go at once,"%he urged. 'They come here for supplies, and if hey find you they will kill you as a py.") "I know that," he returned in a loomy manner. At this moment the door was burst pen and a number of, soldiers en ered the room. "Ab, here is the spy," said a voice, t was the Southern rival. "I am no spy." "What are you doing here?h "You should know." At this the Southerner w' ved his rm to his men. "Leave the room," ie said. The men obeyed. "Now, sir," said the Southerner, 'you are aware what your fate will >Ie? "t "You cannot take me alive," was e sullen answer. The young woman threw herself )efore the Southerner.

Could you not withdraw your nen, or so arrange it that he may re ,urn?" "Possibly I could." "And you will?" "On one condition." "Name it." He bent over and whispered in hei ar. "Never!" she exclaimed. 'Then he shall die." "Not as a spy !" exclaimed the ~ortherner, rushing for the window. rhere was a short report.
