Brought Back From the Brink L of the Grave. A 1011!; (iii-1's Wonderlul Experiem‘vfl Sickly l-‘rom Four )lontlu or Ageâ€"elk.“ Parents [Md Not, Think She Would Live A Monthâ€"Now a Picture of nenlthâ€"A Marvellous l‘nse. From the PeLcrboro' Examiner. To be dragged io the edge of the grnve in the grasp of dread disease is an experi- ence that comes once to all, but, Lo contem- plate entering the grave and mingling with its dust, to have, even in hope. hidden goodbye to life and all its sweetness, and than to be snatched from the brink of tlie grave and to be restored to health, strength and happiness, is an experience that few enjoy. We hear and read of such cases so well attested, that, doubt finds small space for its exercise, but, heretofore no case has, until now, come under our notice in Peter- .borough win'n such directness as to “make assurance doubly sure.” Such a. case, how- (ever, exists. ._., -._ Many persons have heard of the illness -of Miss Amelia. Ranger, who lives with her {parents at 19 Parnell street. She was brought down to the very gates of death and was restored to perfect health when all human aid seemed to be unzweiling. Her miraculous cure excited so much com- ment that a representative of the Examiner was detailed to obtain the particulars, and the result of the investigation is to verify the reports that have been current. On calling at Mr. Ranger‘s house the reporter was met at the door by a bright-eyed, healthy looking young girl, who readin con- sented to give the particulars of her illness and cure. She remarked that her mother was absent in Montreal on a visit. and add- ed with no little pride that she was keeping the house and doing all the work, a. thing that would have been impossible at year or so ago, as she was then so ill that instead of taking care of the house she needed con- stant attention herself. The remarkable and gratifying results following the use of Dr. \Villiams‘ Pink Pills, in the case of Miss Rangw. show, -tha.t they are unequalled as a lJltMIll builder and nerve tonic. In the case of young girls who are pale or sallow, listlesss, irnuliled with a. fluttering or palpitation of tlu- heart, weak and easily tired, no time should be lost in taking a course of Dr. Willmms‘ Pink Pills, which will speedily enrich the blood, and bring a rosy glow of health to the cheeks. I‘heae pills are a positive cure for all troubles arising from a vitiated con» dition of the blood or a. shattered nervous system, such as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head- ache, the after eflects of 1a grippe, that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration, all diseases depending upon humor: in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelus. ezc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as Suppressions, irregularities and all forms of Weakness. In the case of men they efl'ect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental Worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. There was no doubting the honesty of her conviction what, Pink Pills saved her life. A younger sister corroborated what. was said, remarking, “when Amelia was so bad last spring she was so pale she was almost green, and mother did not think she would live a. month.” In evidence of the dangerously ill conâ€" dition of Miss Ranger, a. couple of neigh- bours were seen. Mrs. Tromblay said the girl was very ill, and her frienis did not: expect her to recover, and she had been cured by the use of Pink Pills. An- other lady present. also bore testimony to the hopelessly ill condition of Miss Ranger. a few months ago.

An extraordinary circumstance that has been noticed with interest and that all-l ways creates surprise when first learned is the entire absence of foreign matter in the deepest part of the ocean’s floor. Of all the vessels lost in mid ocean; of all thei human beings that have been drowned ; of all the marine animals that have perished ; of all the clay, sand and gravel let fall by the dissolving icebergs; of all the various substances drifted from every shore, by shifting currents, no trace remains, but in their place water from one thousand to twentydive fathoms in depth covers the uniform deposit of thick, bluish, tenacious slime called. globigerin ooze, says the Gas- mopolitan Magazme. ' A bit of this under a. powerful lens is de- ‘clared to be a revulstion of beauty not readily forgotten. The ooze is composed almost entirely or the daintiest, most deli- cstely beautiful shells imaginable. At depths greater‘ than twenty-five hundred fathoms the bottom of the sea. consists mainly of product arising from exposure, for almost incalcnlahle periods, to the chemical action of the sea. water, of pum- ice and other volcanic matters. This finally results in the formation of red clay deposits that are considered character- istic of the profoundest depths of the ocean. Carbonate of lime, which in the form of shells of forsminifers makes up so large a part 01 the globigerina. ooze, is here almost entirely absent. _._.. 1 uuvnuv- r v V _ 7 , V Soda water is very nearly a. universal solvenb,and before any shell, large or small. reaches the bottom of the tremendous abyâ€" sms it is chemically eaten up, literally dis- solvedâ€"a. result, which the enormous pres. sure of the water must materially hasten. on... u. v..- .. ._.~_ _._ V. At one thousand fathoms the weight of‘ the water pressure on all sides of an object immersed to that depth is very nearly one ton to the square inch, or more than one hundred times that sustained at. the sea. level, and at the greatest depth the pres- sure is so increased that it would seem nothing could Withstand it; in fact, heavy metal cylinders let down with a sounding apparatus are sometimes, on being drawn up again to the surface, found bent and collapsed; strongly-made glass which th 9 metal inclosed are shattered into fragments.

A Minneapolis, Minn., deâ€" spatch says: ~n . . ‘ -,, FM. S. Ketcheson early yesterday morning made a desperate attempt to commit suicide in the lodging rooms over Hamilton’s sn- loon, 11‘2 \Vashington avenue south. He was discovered about 2 o‘clock in violent convulsions and sutfering terrible pain. Dr. H. S. Nelson was called, who worked over him for hours and finally succeeded in sav- ing his life. \Vhen the doctor first came he refused to tell what kind of poison he had taken. as he did not wish anything done to save his life. “ I want to die,” he said, “ but give me something to relieve the pain.” He finally stated that he had swal- lowed a two grain capsule of strychnine about 1% houts before. Large doses of mor- phine and chloroform Were administered, and by working his arms, etc., the tetanic contractions of the muscles were overcome. Had the po1sou been taken without the cap. sule, death would have resulted in a short time, but the capsule prevented the strych- niue from taking effect until some time had elapsed. The victim expressed sorrow that his suicidal attempt had been frustrated. ‘ The man 18 abriut 55 years of age and came from Belleville, Ont. He stated that this is his fourth attempt at suicide, but promised the doctor that he will not try it again. His despondcncy was caused by financial reverses. He comes of a good family. HIS father was rich, and after the division of the property, over which there was some trouble, he lost or spent his in- heritance. He does not Wish to apply to his relatives for aid, “and I am too proud to beg," he remarked. Lust evening the patient was much better. practically out of danger, and to-day will be removed to the home of a. friend in the zitv. The Sheffield Telegraph declares that “the selling of a wife is not unknown in South Yorkshire,” and proceeds to tell the story of the disposal of a "missus" for 30s at the Travellers' Rest Inn, Masborough Rotherham, on the 11th inst. Says an eye witness of the negotiationsâ€"there were present the husband, an ironworker, resx- dent in Masborough; the wife, who, itis alleged. had transferred her affections to a. Kilnhurst miner; the miner himself, the wife's parents, and two friends. The wife was prepossessing in appearance, and of about the same age as her husband; and her suitor, twenty-six or twenty-eight. The separation had been mutual. The hus- band thought he was entitled to pecuniary recompense, and the following is some indication of What transpired on the point: _.“The wifeâ€"I think he wants too much ; he wants £3. The minerâ€"when I set off this morning Iunly intended to give 203 for thee. “There was some more bargaining. and at last the husband said, “I fixed my price £3, but I will come down to £2.” The reduced value was not acceptable, and there seemed a possibility of the negotiations falling through, the husband at one stage intimatiug, “We will stop as we are then.” More conversation as to price followed, and the amount agreed on was 301:. After- wards there were friendly drinks round, paid by the husband. The arrangement was duly ratified in writing. the precise wording only being settled upon after some trouble. I saw the first effort at the drawing up of the document, which read as follows: “Mr.â€"â€"â€"â€", to let my wife, Elizabethâ€"â€"â€", free from me forever to do as she has a. mind, this day, llth Decem- ber.” One other detail had to be arranged, and that was with regard to the custody of a child of the marriage. The husband, it should be stated, took all the resyonsx- bility in this matter. To be always on time, with a. record of success such as has characterized the annual reports of the Temperance 8: General Life Assurance Company is to occupy a. proud position.

Monteils, a farmer at; Sohirac, near Cahors, in France, has attracted the atten- tion of his fellow-countrymen in a remark- able manner. He lately discovered that his wife was extremely frivolous in her conduct, and he accordingly reproached her in emphatic terms. Madame Mont/ails was so overcome with grief that she rushed to che marge of the local river and threw her- self in. She would undoubtedly have been drowned, as the current was very swifb,bnt. her husband, who had followed her, jump- ed in and brought, her to shore. The wom- an was in a very exhausted and precarious condition, and it took several hours to re- store her. When she had recovered, her husband calmly took her by the hand, led her back to her own family, telling her never to darken his door again, and then went, to the. Mayor of the Commune, whom he asked to recommend him for the medal usually accorded to rescuers of the drowm ing.
