AN ALPENA MIRACLE,

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

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

"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 :

'"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 ~

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.

Saturday afternoon, Burt drove up a.

hitched his horse before an inviting ra

"Malvina's her husband's sister, I

'ftly while he waited.
He had but five minutesto wait, anc,

He was half afraid of this bright

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

The cubic contents expressed in feet

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

A TABLE OF THE WAR.
i Romantic Story of Love, Sufrering and
Sorrow.
Immediately preceding the late waL
he daughter of a wealthy Southern
>lanter was beloved by two young
nen, a Southerner and p. man from
he Nortn. She became engaged to
he Northerner, and this so enraged
iis rival that he swore to have his
ife. . The marriage did not take
?lace, for both young men- felt it nec
ssary to fight in behalf of their own
ections of the country. The young
or1 lived on during the early days of
he war at her father's house. One
lay a man, worn out and travel!
tained, sougho refuge at the house
tnd was admitted into the young wo
nan's presence. 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

"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

ie said. The men obeyed.
"Now, sir," said the Southerner,
'you are aware what your fate will

"You cannot take me alive," was
e sullen answer.
The young woman threw herself
)efore the Southerner.
"You know he is no spy 1" she ex
aimed.
"Well, he will be shot as one."
"Have you no mercy?"
"What mercy have you had for me?
le shall die like a dog."
"See," she implored, "I beg on my
Enees. Could you not withdraw your
nen, or so arrange it that he may re

"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.

Cruelty In a Kid Glove.
It has been estimated that out of
,he 5,000,000 people in the United
states at least 15,000,000 are grown
vomen of an age to wvear kid gloves,
Lnd yet, according to the Dry Goods
Economist, the import Is about 10,
100,000 pair from France, which is
aid to make 24,000,000 pair, When
e realize that one woman of fashion
an easily wear a hundred pair during
he year it would seem that many of
iur women are still to be converted
the wearing of that dainty neces
ity, a kid glove. Our large cities are
mmense consumers, New York stores
lng a larger number of kid gloves
,o the average woman inhabitant
han any other city, except Paris,
hich of course does a large trade
ith its floating populace.
The center of the glove trade has
ways been at Grenoble, a mountain

anufacturing of kid. gloves. The

ade into 15,000,000 pair of gloves
he value is just doubled, and the
naking up of the skins gives employ

The skins for the so-called "real"

Funny Musio.
A funny Incident occurred at a
hoir rehearsal in one of the fashion
ble East Side churches not long ago.
'hey were preparing for the follow
ag Sunday morning a beautiful se
ction, the first words of which were
I am a Pilgrim." It so happened
hat the music divided the word pil
rim and made a pause after the first
llable. The effect was most amus
2g. The soprano sang ia a high key,
I am a Pil-," and stopped. The
ito repeated, "I am a Pil-." The
enor acknowledged he was a "Pil-,"
nd when the bass came thundering
with the like declaration, "I am a
'il-," it was too much for the gray
y of the singers.

We, who tranquilly enjoy the fruiti
of the great deliverance from the hor
rible and universal plague of smallpox,
see and know so little of It as not to be
able to form any just conception of the
monstrous proportions of the scourge
when unchecked. The average'death
rate from it throughout England was
such that if applied to the present popu
lation it would give 70,000 per annum:
in London alone before 1804 the an
nual dea'ths were 2,018 in a population
of 1,000,000; in 1890, in a population of
4,000,000, there was just one -death
from smallpox. In the year 1860 there
was not a death from it in Massachu
