The flood is rapidly receding an d business will be resumed in earnes t again within a day or two. The water began to recede on Mon - day evening, and the residents alon g the river breathed a sigh of relief .

Weston's Bros . also lost quite a larg e amount of sawed lumber . The chances are that very few ston e sidewalks will be built here from no w on, but instead they will be built of cork . Then in time of a flood it wil l not be necessary to swim on Mai n street . The booms at Gordon's mill coul d not stand the strain and over a millio n feet of logs broke away, but luckily a large portion of them lodged i n Weston's booms and will be recovered . F . E .

, pair of trousers. It was a respectable ,well cut pair, of a discreetly dark graycolor . This explained the note of re-spect in the porter's voice when he an-nounced my friend Louis .

"Can I do anything else for you?" Iasked him, with all the politenesswhich is extended to people who paytheir debts.

"Many thanks, nothing else. It wil lall run smoothly now . "

A few days later I met him accident-

ally in the street . He did not see me,but as I looked casually at him I notedthat again he wore a new pair of trou-sers, this time of a charming chestnu tcolor. He must be flourishing, surely.Again.

Almost unconsciouslyI cast a look upon his legs, and discov-ered—another new pair of trousers,this time of an original, though no tparticularly tasteful, olive mustar d

of sovereigns to buy a new coat insteadof all these things? His blue coat sad-ly required replacing. I almost saidso to him, but was afraid he migh tthen ask me to lend him more money,and only gave him a friendly nod .

And the day after tha tall sorts and conditions, striped,checked, light, dark . long, short, tight,wide—it was maddening!

One day I weft secretly to one of ou rmost eminent specialists for menta ldiseases . I put my case before him ,and was partly consoled and partly hor-rified when he was not in the least sur-prised, but said, w ith a good-humore dlaugh : "Well, well, it is not so ver ybad "

"What did you say, doctor? Not sobad? But plainly I am mad! "

"Mad ." he said, very dryly . "Your sis a most interesting case of hallucina-tions of the optical nerves. Get awa yfor a mouth . "

Time went on . and with it my die-

"Ofcourse," I said aloud to myself as heentered, for he was indeed wearing anew pair of trousers, very wide at th etop and tight below the kuees. It wasa black and white check. A curiou sgarment, rather loud, but not withoutan air of distinction . His whole ap-pearance was in harmony with them .He wore a jacket and waistcoat of fin eblack cloth, faultless linen, a large ,bright-colored cravat, a heavy gol dwatch chain, a shiny new silk hat anda stick, with a gold head . . Perhaps itwas not gold, but it looked like it.

"Well, old fellow! " he called out, andstepped with youthful energy on mycorns. "I have, come to take leave o fyou.

"How's little Celia getting on a tschool?" inquired a visitor of Mrs. Mar- iphy . "Is she making progress wit hher studies? "

I took them all to the various 1 ranche sof the pawn shop, after which I hadsufficient money to buy fifty pairs .

"Of course I could not wear them all ,and as I did not know a soul in th eplace except your old porter. I bega nto make love to hit*, and supplied al lyour bank officials with trousers—tha tis to say, I made to each of them apresent of a pair on the condition tha t

he must wear two pairs of my new one sa day . As soon as the trousers beganto look worn I pawned them—that is t osay . I caused them to be pawned by myclerks. For my business went so wel lthat I could no longer manage it alone .I had about sixty assistant,, some o fwhom were employed in w'alkuctr abou tthe boulevards wearing new trousers.Occasionaily I got them to wear thre eor f cur pairs at a time in order to ex-pedite business. Thus I soon got th eone hundred thousand pairs into myhands. The great difficulty n' .w' arosethat the paw•nshe,p, brimming ove rwith trousers, would take no more.My men were even threatened to betaken to the police. Some twentythousand pairs are now slumbering i nthe cupboards of 'my aunt.' And theprovincial pawnshops are glutted i nthe same way, for 1 had finally to sen dtravelers into the provinces .

"The net result of it all is that, afte rall expenses are paid, I have made aprofit of five shillings on each pair o ftrousers, or some twenty thousan dpounds on the lot .

A somewhat curious incident is re -ported from the village of Nicolaef-skaya . in the province of Kharkoff . Apeasant named Litvinoff, with a ver yhandsome wife, sold her to anothe rcalled LukiannofY for the sum of onehundred and sixty rubles, giving a re-ceipt in due form for the money . in afortnight, however, he wished to bu yher back and her purchaser was quitewilling, but the woman refused . Th e

n .lim.•inal lut,hand referred the matte rto the Zetusky Natchalink, who de-clined t o interfere, and the communa lauthorities also declared that it wa s

no business of theirs . Consequentl ythe wife remains with the man who

bought her . —London Standard .

WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1894.

THE most cheering news from th eflood districts, is that no lives wer elost .

WE congratulate Editor Caskey up -on his confirmation as postmaster a tAustin. We believe that he will fil lthe position very creditably .

BROTHER COXEY has decided to ru nfor congress In McKinley's old district.

As a congressman he would be a plc-t turesque personage. But then it is

',not, likely that he will ever be a con-ggrespman .

1 L1t1E is worth more than the simplestruggle for existance. It is wort h

, living . It is better to die with lessmoney and have more time to enjo ylife while you live. No man really

1

i• lives who grinds away day in and da yout without an occasional day of re -creation. It pays to take time to live .

8t THE Jamestown Journal views withwlt!arm the trend of the times, which i sti gradually doing away with the occupa-tions which erstwhile paved the wa yto the Presidency for boys. Whenbarbed wire supplanted rails, the rail-splitter went out of business, and nnm-erous dark horses for the Presidenc ywere retired at the same time. It isproposed to do tanning by electricity ,which will discourage another Presi-dent-making industry . To clap th eclimax, a project is under way to do

, all towing on canals by electricity .thus permanently putting the mule -drivers out of a job. No More Presi-dents can come from the tow path .

OCCASIONALLY a man is found wh otries to make his 6N head fit his No .7 hat, and he thinks he would succee dif the hat were only a little larger ,says the Bradford Era philosopher .He imagines the town is not largeenough for his requirements . H ecalls the stores cheap, the papers one -horse, the people provincial, the placea cross roads, the opera house a barn ,and is dissatisfied with every thing i nthe place, even including himself be -cause he wastes his time in such aplace . The gentleman with a hig hopinion of himself is mistaken on tw ocounts . He has a wrong estimatio nof his own bigness and of the preten -sions of the place he lives in . As tohimself everybody is on to his curves ,as the small boy says in base bal lseason . Therefore his views of th etown that shelters him are of no con -sequence. He is like the white wart son the leg of a horse. Nobody knowswhat makes them, nobody knows whatuse they are. Nobody knows how toget rid of them, and all horses havethem . Nature has her secrets . Thewart on the horse's leg, and the warton the town anatomy are two of them .

No Reason to Feel Stuck Up .From the Oil City Blizzard.

Jamestown need not feel puffed u pbecause she has a case or so of small-pox, Oil City has the base ball fever .

The happy eventtook place at Oswayo on Thursday .The bride is a bright and lovabl eyoung woman who has many friends ,and the groom is a very genial gentle -man who is worthy of the prize he ha swon . They will reside at Sheffield.

The Oswayo and Honeoye creek swere on a big rampage Sunday . Thelower part of town was flooded andthe residents were obliged to mov eout . Water street was true to itsname . The small bridge near AndrewBradford's s as partially washed ou tand a sluice bridge on the Honeoy eroad was wrecked .

FITCHBORGH & WEST SHORE .

Engineer Huston of the West Shore

and E. A . Palmer of the Fitch -

burgh Railroads . Advise Thei rOverworked Brethern .

There is no body of men who labormore hours continuously than railroadmen . So constant and tiring are thei rresponsible duties that there are a fewwho do not suffer from overwork, andnervous troubles, and it does not tak elong before the strongest constitutio ngives away to the ravages of disease .Dyspepsia, rheumatism, urinary an dkidney troubles have incapacitatedmany a man that could have beensaved if the proper precaution hadbeen taken .

Engineer Wm. Huston, of the WestShore Railroad, in speaking to a re -porter of the disposition of people toneglect their physical condition said :"For years I suffered from kidneytrouble and dyspepsia, at times I wa sin so much pain, I thought I woul dhave to give up my engine. I hadbeen under the treatment of van-ous physicians, but derived no bene-fit . Finally, one day Conducto rFrazer of our road, said to me, 'Hus-ton, get a bottle of Dr . David Ken-nedy's Favorite Remedy, it will d oyou more good than all the doctors i nexistance .' I followed this advice,and in a few days I began to feelbetter and I have been well eversince. "

E. A . Palmer, of the Fitchburg Rail-road's ft eight department at Troy, N .Y ., in speaking of the great good hehad received from using Favorit eRemedy, said : "I was troubled wit hurinary difficulty for a long time .My attention was called to Dr . Ken-nedy's Favorite Remedy ; I began it suse, and in a few weeks was cured o fthe trouble. I have since used it as afamily medicine with splendid results,especially in cases of constipation an dstomach dfficulty . "

Dr . Kennedy's Favorite Remedy isa natural antidote for all disease sarising from an excess of utic acid i nthe blood, in cases of scrofula, eczema ,sleeplessness or nervousness, it cureswhere all else fails.

HI . Message .When Col . Tamblyn was commande r

at Fart Fletcher, Kan, he had a nIrishman for orderly, who was notedfor his remarkable manner of twist-ing messages. One day two men whowere employed by Butterfield's Over -land Dispatch company were killednear the fort by Indians.

On time following day Col . Tauibly nsaid to his orderly : "Take my com-pliments to the company commanders,and tell them to rotify their companiesthat those two men who ware killedby te Indians yesterday will he buriedthis afternoon at two o'clock, and Iwould like to have as many as ca nmake it convenient attend theirfu tieral .

Th e T'he orderly accidentally found th ecompany commanders together. andtouching his cap, delivered his usageas follows : "l'he colonel sends hi scompliments, and directs you to notif ythose two men that were killed by th eIndians that they will be buried at tw oo'clock to-day, and he would like tohave as many as can make it convenien tattend their funera l

Perceiving from the expression ofthe commanders' faces that somethin gWas wrong, he touched his cap again,and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone :"There may be a joke about it, sores ,but if there is, it's on the colonel, fo rhe told mae :" —Yout h's Companio n

It I . Cruelty to Animals and a Grea tWaste o Time.

A great many men who use animalsfor labor are neither careful nor skill-ful drivers, and because of their wan tof care and skill they fail to obtain al lthe service which their teams ar ecapable of rendering. The animals no tonly regularly fall below a prope rstandard of efficiency, but they are alsoespecially liable to suffer from acci-dents and injuries.

One of the most common faults o fmen who use teams injudiciously i soverloading. From this various evil sresult. If the animals are young the yare likely to become either discouragedor vicious. After repeated experience swith loads that are too heavy for the mthe teams get balky. and will often re-fuse to move loads which they coulddraw without undue exertion, and uponwhich they never would have though tof refusing to put forth their strengt hif they had not pre'iously been undul yloaded. And when the habit of balkin ghas been formed it is exceedingly diffi-cult to overcome. This is one of thosethings in which a little prevention i sworth more than any quantity of cure.

The attempt to make a team dra wtoo heavy loads is a great waste o ftime . Three trips with moderate load smight be made in the time required t odeliver two very heavy ones . More workwould be accomplished in a given time,and both team and driver would besaved a good deal of very decided on-pleasantness. The risk of injury tothe animals by overstraining and byfractious efforts, which is very decidedwhen the loads are too heavy, is als oavoided when there is a proper adjust-ment of the load to the strength of th eteam. And a last, though it canhardly be accounted the least, reasonwhy overloading of teams should beavoided is found in the fact that suc ha course will remove from the driversa very strong temptation to anger an dprofan ity . —A unerican Farmer.

Feeding Wheat to Swine .It has only been a few months since

the feeding of wheat to swine attract-ed attention, but it is reportea that th esuggestion has met with a favorabl eresponse, wheat being largely used fo rthat purpose, thus increutsin the de-mand for it . Of course, if wheat is fed ,less corn will apparently be used, bu tthe result will really be more hogs o nthe farm, and an inducement to keep-ing more cattle in order to consumethe surplus corn.

Mii.a at cheese factories should bepooled on the basis of the butter fa tcontained in it, the same as in cream-cries. Many careful experiments hav eproved that this does substantia ljustice,

INBREEDING OF BEES.

Formerly Suposedte Have Been Pramtired to a direst Extent.

W'hc'n there is but a single colony ofbees for miles around it is very prob-able that close inbreeding occurs, say sexchange. This would seem to arisefrom the necessity of the case. Formany years the best aithorities sup-posed inbreeding to be the rule amon gbees, from the fact that the hive wastenanted by a single female, and th ebees of different hives were known tobe hostile toward each other . ButTegetmeir has shown that this hostili-ty does not apply to the drones, whic hare permitted to enter any hive un-molested, and Darwin believed tha t"the union invariably and necessarilytaking place on the wing, during th equeen's nuptial flight' was a "specialprovision against continued inbreed-ing. "

Proof of this is found in the cross -bred bees. Darwin cites the followin gcases : "Mr. Woodbury, who intro-duced Ligurian bees into Devonshire ,found during a single season that thos estocks, at a distance from one to tw omites from his hive, were crossed byhis drones. In one case, the Liguria ndrones must have flown over the city o fExeter, and over several intermediatehives. On another occasion, severa lcommon black queens were crossed byLigurian drones, at a distance of fro m

I one to three and a half miles." it i snot altogether improbable that th enuptial flight of the queen is induce dby the collecting of drones, which cal lher by their loud humming. This ma ybe the signal to her to start on thejourney which is to prepare her for helife work : and the presence of a queen ,ready to take her nuptial flight, maybe scented be the bees. It does no tseem necessary, therefore, to hold tha tinbreeding is the rule in situationswhere the reverse is possible. Thefree out crossing of different varieties,the collecting of drones in great nuin-bers in out of way places, the absenc eof hostility to foreign drones, and th e

: liberal provision throughout nature t o

Iprevent inbreeding and secure cross-ing, all seem to converge to the ide athat inbreeding is not resorted to onl ywhen circa instances compel it. It i sprobably the exception rather than therule, and the crossing is nature' s

1method of keeping up the constitutio nof the bee . This may be theory, butthe reverse is also theory, and thi stheory really seems to have the strong-est support.

Treat-ment of Dwarf Fears.

At a horticultural meeting in Massa-chusetts an address was given on th etreatment of the dwarf pear, contain-ing some suggestions which may be o fuse to fruit growers. A special valu e

, of the dwarf was its early bearing,making it useful in starting new places .Afterwards it may be changed to anew standard by removing the soi laround the base of the stem a fe w

1inches, and then puncturing the bark

' with a narrow gauge or pocketknife ,raising narrow strips of the bark an dpressing the soil in between the lips o lbark and the wood in seven or eigh tplaces equidistant around the stew,then replacing the soil and coverin gwith a light mulch . Roots will protrud efrom the incisions, and an even-balancedstandard tree be ultimately secured.

Restoration of Philander Hydefrom Paralysis.

elpIess and Bed-Ridden-BL Recoveryfrom Tht Pitiable Condition- A

Remarkable Narrative.

[Prom the Syracuse Standard lDuring the past few months there have

appeared in the columns of the Standard theparticulars of a number of cures so remark -able as to justify the term miraculous .These cases were investigated and vouchedfor by the AWuzuiy Journal, the Detroit Seus,Albany Express and other papers whose rep-utation is a guarantee that the facts wer eas stated. Different schools of medicin eand some of the brightest lights in the pro -fession had treated these cases, unsuccess -fully ; and their recovery later on, there -fore, and its means, have created aprofoundsensation throughout the country.

The Standard has published the above ac -counts for what they were worth, and ar ehappily able to supplement same to-day byan equally striking case near home. Thecase is over in Madison county, at Solsville ,and the subject is Mr. Philander Hyde, whotold the reporter the following :

"1 will be 70 in September. I was bornin Brookfield, Madison county, where allmy life was spent until recently, when, be -coming helpless, I came to live with m ydaughter here. My life occupation has bee nthat of a farmer. I was always well an drugged until two years ago last winter ,when I had the grip . When it left me I hada sensation of numbness in my legs, whic hgradually grew to be stiff at the joints an dvery painful . I felt the stiffness in my feetfirst, and the pain and the stiffness extendedto my knees and to my hi joints, and tothe bowels and stomach, and prevented di-gestion . To move the bowels I was com-pelled to take great quantities of castor oil .

"Whil e While I was in this condition, cold feel -la g s would begin in my feet and streak u pmy legs to my back and would follow th ewhole lerigtn of my back bone . I could notsleep, I had no appetite, I become helpless .While in this condition I was treated by anumber of prominent physicians . They didme no good . I soon became perfectly help-less and lost all power of motion even in m ybed . '

"The physicians consulted pronouncedfathers case creeping paralysis," said Mr.and Mrs . Johnson, "and when we broughthim home he had to be carried all the wayin a bed. The doctors said they could onlyrelieve the pain, and for the purpose he too ka pint of whiskey a day for three months ,and morphine in great quantities . When h ebegan taking Pink Pills we stopped givin ghim morphine or any other medicine, an dcut off all stimulants . In ten days afte rfather began taking the pills, he could getout of bed and walk without assistance, an dhas continued to improve until now hewalks about the house and the streets bythe aid of a cane only . "

"Yes," said Mr. Hyde, "and the pain hasgone out of my back and the numbness ou tof my legs. I have no more chills, my di-gestion is good, and I have an excellent ap-petite." And then, after a pagse, 'But, ah ,me, I am an old man ; I have een m3- bestdays . and caiiziot hope to recover my ol dvigor as a younger man might, but I am s othankful to have the use of my limbs and tobe relieved of those dreadful pains. "

Others in Solsville are taking Pink Pills ,notably the mother of Abel Curtis, who i susing them with satisfactory effect for rheu-matism, and Mrs . Lippitt, wife of ex-Sen-ator Lippitt, is using them with much bene-fit for nervous debility .

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a con-densed form all the elements necessary togive new life and richness to the blood, an drestore shattered nerves. They are an un-failing specific for such diseases as locomo-tor ataxia, partial paralysis, St . V itus' dance,neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headachethe after effects of la grippe, palpitation o fthe heart, and that tired feeling resultic gfrom nervous prostration ; all diseases re-suiting from vitiated humors in the blood ,such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc .They are also a specific for troubles peculia rto females . such as suppressions, irregular-ities and all forms of weakness . In me nthey effect a radical cure in all cases arisin gfrom mental worry, overwork or excessesof whatever nature.

These Pills are manufactured by the Dr.Wiflianis Medicine Company, Schenectad yN . Y ., and Brockville, Ont ., and are soonly in boxes bearing the firms trade-markand wrapper at 50 cents a box, or six boxesfor 2 .50, and are never sold in bulk or bythe dozer. or hundred.
