From the News, Muskegon, Mich. Alr-Cusht- There are few pleasanter drives in this part of the country than the one along the South Grand river road, running between Grand! Haven and Bass River, a little hamlet about fourteen miles from the capital of Ottawa ' on Or 17 of a wheel to county. And Especially is that so in these October days, when the rich autumnal colors are beginning to give radiance to the woodlands along the route. On the eleventh of this month a representative of the Morning News took this trip to interview a certain Mr. H. B. Knowlton, a farmer living about a mile away, about his cure from rheumatism. Mr. Knowlton is a man fifty-on- e years of age, and served three years in the war, being a tnember of Company F, Fifth Michigan Cavalry. He has lived in Allendale, Ottawa county, Mich., since the rebellion, and is one of the substantial farmers of the county, his farm, ewhich contains one hundred and eighty-fivacres, being a valuable property. He was working in the field when Approached by (he reporter, but kindly Invited him into his handsome brick house, and when asked about the benefits he had received from Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills, said: taking "I was in the army for three years, and it was .while there I contracted the rheumatism. After coming out I was lame and sore a good deal of the time, but was not sick enough to go to bed. At first I was not very bad, but as time went on I became worse. About a year ago I was so bad that I had to give up my work on the farm. I had doctored with doctors and taken a great deal of medicine, and had become kind of discouraged. Nothing seemed to help me, and finally I went to the drug store of A. J. "White and asked him if he had anything to kill or cure) me. He said he had Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and he thought if I would take them they would help me. I purchased a box and before taking all of them I felt better, and I knew they had helped me. I continued taking the pills, and for the past three months I have not felt the rheumatism. I would advise any one who has the rheumatism to try the Pink Pills, and I am confident they will help them." H. B. Knowlton, of Allendale, Ottawa county, Michigan, being by me duly sworn, deposes that the facts set forth In the foregoing statement, made by him this 11th day of October, A. D 1895, are true. HENRY!

The letters are of metal, enameled black, and are fastened by means of a spring on the th back, which is thrust into the inch slot between the parallel glass plates. Electric lights behind the white glass project the letters with wonderful clearness at night, and no weather can blur them. , ! excavation was, begun for a building, and having been undisturbed for a day or two, some workmen, as they returned to their labor, threw a lighted match into the ditch.

It was Jan. 19, 1885. that "Denise" was produced at the Comedie Francaise, where it was given one hundred and seven times that season, making a great success, with a cast in which Mile. Bar-tplayed the title role, with the charming Reichemberg as juvenile, and Worms, Coquelin aine, Coquelin cadet, Got, Blanche Pierson, and Pauline Grainger all in the cast. Two American actresses have tried "Denise," both hampered by poor versions. There was the production at Daly's theater, New York, ten years ago, when Clara Morris played "Denise," supported by Joseph Haworth, and a later production at Palmer's, when a version by Will Stuart ("Walsingham") was called "Fair Fame," and Linda Dietz played "Denise." Still few in New York even remember either version, and, until Miss Nethersole's, none has been seen outside New York, and as the play is in Dumas' best style, intensely interesting and brilliant in conversation, it ought to be a great success. As a matter of history, it may be noted that Miss Nethersole gave her first performance of the part Aug. 28, at Birmingham, England, and also that Signor Ventura once read the play in French at Chickering hall, in Boston. Boston has had at one time this season the opportunity to admire several In Novemyoung, pretty actresses. were town there in ber, Amy Busby, the pretty girl who once played with Crane, and has lately been the heroine of "The Fatal Card," enjoying the long run which closed November 16, at the historic old Museum; Bertha Creighton, who first came into. notice as resembling Mary Anderson, and Maxime Elliot, who was the most picturesque American actress in London last summer; for that matter no player of the year was more pictured than she was, several illustrations of her appearing in one issue of one of the weeklies. In these days, when actresses are few, et Lai Fire Escape. A novel form of fire escape, the invention of M. Beruttl, was tried lately in Paris before members of the town council and the fire department. It consists of a hollow tube placed along the cornice of a building or the lower part of a balcony railing, inside which runs a small wheel, which can move from one end of the nouse front to the other. A light wire ladder or an iron, cage attached to a rope passing over the block furnishes the means for descent. The apparatus can also be used for workmen, like painters, employed on the outside of houses. A Hydraulic Life Boat. A new hydraulic propelled lifeboat has recently been constructed in England that meets all the requirements of the National Lifeboat institution. Water is admitted by means of a large scoop, and is forced out by a strong . pump of very simple design. A speed of 94 "knots was made on the trial course, and the boat was stopped and reversed in fifteen seconds. It Is stated that butter contains forty timet as many microbes as oleomargarine. : OUr ftO i IJOUCLAS BEST WORLD 9nW&V If you pay 84 to 86 for shoes, IN THE ex- - amine the W. L.

" There is a widespread impression among medical men and the public at large that ithere is little or no danger attending the removal of the tonsils, and instruments for this purpose are found in the possession of almost every practitioner in the land. An eminent surgeon declares that removing the tonsils is an operation attended with a great deal of risk. One reason for this seems to be that in cutting there is danger of approaching near the large arteries, or, at all events, tapping small veins that may cause alarming hemorrhage. This physician gives an account of the removal o the tonsils from the throat of a boy, when he was obliged to hold the parts jwith his fingers for several hours to jarrest the hemorrhage that threatened the boy's life. Having no appliances at hand for checking the hemorrhage, which was entirely unlooked-for, he came very near losing his patier t. The general practitioner is warned .against too free use of these instruments; indeed, it is as well to be very waryj in cutting the tonsils at all, and not to operate upon them unless It is absolutely necessary, and then only remove a sufficient surface to relieve the mechanical obstruction caused by j ; the other d A Popular Fallacy. 1 ' gs, slightly in contact with the spokes.
