The HOW THE ANCIENT ORDER 01" FOR ESTERS SAVED A BROTHER. Flam (be Inndon Free Press. The Home of Mr. Isaac Briggs, at 501 Chaflotte 815., this city, is one of the moat grettily situated and Well kept of the many omes of the Workingmen of London. The front is carefully boulevarded, and at the side and rear of the cottage home is a lattice work covered with vines, and there is also a garden. Within new are fields and wood! and in feet there was nothing needed upon the occasion of an autumn afternoon visit to make the lot of a sick man amid such surronndings as pleasant 9.5 Qossible. A LL._A And so ifWas no? to be wondered at that Mr. Briggs was found in a cheerful mood. But a conversation with the gentleman re- vealed the fact that there were very good reasons why any man under the same'cir- l cumstances. and enjoying the same bright hope, could not but allow his face to beam forth with what he felt, The story as told will be found most interesting, and that it is absolutely correct there are many of the friends of Mr. Briggs will testify, should such testimony be needed. Mr. Briggs has been an invalid for four years and has been unwell and under medical treatment for eight years. It was in 1885 that he first felt the twinges, the aches and the pains that foretold trouble. He secured medical attendance, and learned that his liver was out of order, his kidneys were bad and that he suffered from dyspepsia. However, he worked along for nearly four years, when the terrible malady affected his system in a way painful to relate. It came directly after an attack of “ the grip. ” Mr. Briggs was yet in his “ fifties,” ani to all appear- ances was a Well preserved and strong man. But almost without warning the joints in every part. of his body were as solid and immovable as though they had been pad‘ locked, and the strong man become as help- less as a. babe. Many aoctors were consult- ed, and they all promised relief and occasionally a slight relief did come. But it was only tempdrary,nnd the unfortunate men in consequence of these relapses, was gradually loosening his hold upon hope. The days were long and weary that he spent upon his bed, mm the dismal pros- pect ahead of being held a close prisoner to he released only by death. , family. [00: began to lose faith in medical skill. They had given a tiial to some of the foremost practitioners of the ciLy, but always with the same unhappy result. Patent medicines of various descripfionswerelikewise tried, but in vain. Then about Christmas tide came news that had almost. been expected. Mr. Briggs had not long to live, the doctors said. Gradually he grew weaker until early in the spring so seriously ill he did appear to be that the em} was daily looked for. Court Forest City, A. O. F., of which Mr. Briggs is a member, proved just at this juncture to be a. friend indeed. During all his illness the brethren had looked carefully after his wants, and had been very atten- tive. And no one regretted more than they the unhappy prospects, One night the court was discussing the case when if; was sug- gested that Pink Pills should be tried. Stories had been told of what tley had e?- feoted in other cases. Then Why not in this? Finally the court agreed to present one dozen boxes of the pills to Mr. Briggs. The attending doctor told his patient that the pills were only good for cases of paralysis. but he consented to their being given a trial as a last hope. Accordingly Mr. Briggs began taking them. Very soon a. change was noticed. He grew more cheerful and suffered less. His whole system seemed to be awakened to new life, just as was the world outside, for it was the glad spring- time of the year. “'ith renewed strength came renewed hope, and the invalid began to look upon Pink Pills as his deliverer. He used them I faithfully. taking six 5 day. In a, monthl he was able to leave his bed, and he did so with a. thankful heart. Only those who have been forced to undergo long confine- ment between bed-clothes can realize the pleasure and joy there were in that first day spent in the neat little parlorI seated in a. big arm chair beside the window where the sun sent in its warm, bright rays. Since then Mr. Briggs has been about daily. He uses crutches yet, but; he grows stronger every day. Now he can use his hauds,ea.t- ing with a knife and fork, and the joints continue to grow looser and pliable, giving only a faint idea of the veritable knots into which those of the hands and feet were tied. There was a. cessation of the pains too,~a. most pleasing fact to the invalidâ€"- and the blood vessels that had become lost to view and dried up Iire now quite healthy looking. Mr.Briggs has only used twenty boxes of the pills, at a. cost: of S10. Certainly his bill for medical attendance shows a, marked decrease. Mr. E. \V. Boyle, druggist, 652 Dundas street, who is also secretary of Court Fares City, was also intervmwed with respect to the case, and his statements were all con- firmatnry of what Mr. Briggs had said. He said he had had a tremendous sale of the pills. No other sxmilar medicine ever apgroached to the same demand. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a. perfect; blood builder and nerve reatorer, curing such _ diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia. St. Vitus’ dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling thereirom, the after effects of la. grippe, diseases depending on humora in the bloc rl, such as scrofuia, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a. healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions, and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a. radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry over- work or excesses of any nature. 39er in mird Dr. William’s Pink Pills are never suit] in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who 03ers substi- tutes iu this form is Lrying to defraud you and should be avoided.

Their only distinguishing mark, soon to be a. well-known object of special dread to the Ashantis, was the red hackle in their helmets, which told of a long by- gone exploit in the old wars in the Low Countries. Nor was their waiting long. A short quick commend was heard, and the long line broke into column of companies, each of which dashed into the bush, the officers pointing the way with the short sword-bayonets which had taken the place of the regulation ciaymores, and each with its piper playing up the strains which wake an echo in every Scottish soldier‘s heart. The roar of firing,r became loud and constant, and when its dispnson sank for a moment the ear caught the shriek of the pibroch, the cheers of the soldiers, and the answering yells of the savage enemy, who held their ground so sternly. firing at the line of attack from cleverly-contrived ambushes. ‘ And the white soldiers Were not more gallant and determined in their hearing than the native laborers, enlisted to serve ‘nnder the engineer officers, who, unarmed ‘ except for their pioneer axes and cutlesses, followed clase behind or more often abreast i of the fighting line Cutting away the creepers and pmsitic plants, and making ‘ every inch of ground gained clear and pas- sable for retreat or support by the reserves I pressing eagerly in rear. The Highlanders were sweeping the bush in front of them with steady volleys, and the cracking rip- ping sound of their rifles was varied by the louder intonations of the heavily loaded Ashanti muskets. The forest was filled with smoke. and from its gloom tongues of flame shot forth, marking whence came the hail of bullets that hummed and danced among us and overhead. making the leaves fall in showers as they do in England on a. windy October day.â€"[Blnckwood’s. Conscience Money . In the year 1789 the English Chancellor of the Exchequer received aletter enclosing bank-notes to the amount of £36G =$l,800 to ease the conscience of the writer who had Withheld the amount. from the public treasury. The earliest public announcement of any receipt from this source was in 1842. when the following announcement appear- ed in The Times; “The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledges the receipt of £410 from some person unknown, as conscience money.” Since 1885. the amounts thus re- ceived have appeared under aseporate head in the public accounts, and range all the way from £16,483 (the largest sum) in 1860 to £252 (the smallest) in 1893. It is sug- gested that some conscientious Englishmen, willing to pay their income-tax, do not care to publish the amount, and appease their conscience by anonymous remittance. ’ 'l‘llo Remarkable (‘aso of a Young; Manâ€" llc Takes Consumption and “hen Hourly lixpN-lml [0 Die "l‘ Finds a Remedy 'I hat Completely Cures “in; Elmira, N. Y.â€"1t is seldom indeed that a hopeless consumptive, who has been given up by the doctors, recovers, Henry Hazen, a young man who was born and hxought up in this city, has had an experience of this kind which is attracting a. great deal of attention among the medical men of this section of the country. Mr. Hazen is twenty-five years of age and he tells the following story :â€"“ About three years ago I took la grippe. I had a. very severe attack which settled on my lungs and I kept on coughing alter la. grippe left me. I thought nothing of the cough which seldom troubled me except in the morning afterI got up, then I used to hack and cough for a. while and I might not be troubl- ed again that day. Gradually the cough grew more severe and one morning Inoticed that there were specks of blood in the stuEI coughed up. However, I thought I would be all right. Last summer I did not feel like myself half the time. I thought Iwas half asleep the whole time and my cough got very severe and 1 could not work. I began taking night sweats. I called on a. doctor and he told me that I had consumption and that half of my right lung was affected and that only a. mimcle could save my life. That miracle, 1 am happy to say, has been accomplished. I was hardly able to move this spring and my death was expected at any time. I happened to see in the paper one day that a. German doctor had discovered a. blood purifier that was death to microbes and germs of all kinds of disease. 1 got a box of this preparation. which is called Schil- ler’s Sarsapnrilla Pills, and feeling improv- ed 1 have kept on taking them ever since.

A short time ago the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto, asked our readers for foster homes for the children rescued by them. The response was very general,but the requests were almost entirely for boys and girls from 10 to 16, and of these the greatest number were for girls, Already a. number of the applications have been filled, where everything was found satislactory, and foster-parents and children alike are well pleased. But there is another class of children, who have been almost entirely forgotten, and it is for these We now plead. These are the little babies and children up be four and five years of age. The Society has at present several such candidates for homes. They are mostly boys, and are bright and happy little ones.
