In lbs 11::ere of 1'In =t:" A police officer approached. lie tea: young, martial and wrapped in the reg. ulatiou sheepskin. At sight of him the. beggar fled, hobbling away in fright and baste. "Is it possible," said Tolstoi to him- self, "that people are forbidden to ask charity, in Christ's name—in a Chris- tian land's" "Brother," he said to the pollee, "can you read?" "Yes," said the officer politely. "Have you read the Bible?" "Yes." "And do you remember Christ's orders to feed the hungry?" And he cited the words. The policeman was evidently troubled. Ile turned to his questioner and asked: "And you, sir—you can read?" "Yes, brother." "And have you read the police regu- lations?" "Yes, brother." "And do you remember that begging In the main streets Is forbidden?"—Suc- eees. But la Blood. The Winter palace of the czars was built in blood. Almost every stone of the walls and every square yard of the plaster lining them cost a life. Nich- olas had given the order that the pal- ace must be rebuilt in n year, and what was human IIfe against the des- pot's will? Six thousand men were kept at work day and night, with the palace heated at 30 It. to dry the Wa::s rapidly, while the temperature out- side was erten 30 degrees below zero It. The men could only work with fee packs on their heads, and, experiene. ing a daily change of GO degrees, they died by the score every day. By the end of the year the death roll tray some thousands, but the palace :.t finished. To understand the full mean- ing of this achievement It should be re- membered that the Winter palace Is :is large as Buckingham palace, Ken:itig. ton palace and the National gallery.— London Globe. Luminous East Indian Plants. Upward of sixty species of East In- dian plants, mostly of the fern f:tuli!y, with a goodly sprinkling of grasses and creeping vines, are lunation,, nu.l It is said that the sides of the moun- tains in the vicinity of Cyree are nightly illuminated by the pale, white Light which they emit. The root stn«•k of a plant from the Ooraghum jungle, near Layki (supposed to be an orchil), possesses the peculiar properties of be- coming lunlinoas when wet, while when dry it is quite Lusterless. One jointed plant, suppose(' to be a member of the rush or cane family, emits a fiery revs light from Its leaves, a pale white one from Its stalk, while Its flowers give out capricious flashes, like that of our "lightning bugs." Chileans Wear Overcoats Indoors. "In Santiago, the Chilean capital, where I have been residing for some years, it is common to see people put on their overcoats when they enter a house and take there off upon going Into the street," said a visitor to the capital. "The cause of this Is that the at- mosphere on the outside Is warmer than within the residences. The ('hllenns do not heat their domiciles to any extent, and they are construct- ed of such thick walls that they ere a good deal on the order of refrigera- tor." si Ia Rattle.

McEwltx.—Deep was the gloom cast over our village, as with a blighting touch, that grim des- troyer, death. robbed us of one of our most highly and beloved citizens, Mina Krueger, beloved wife of Duncan Mc- Ewen, whose earthly career was end- ed on Sabbath last. Her illness was of short duration, being only a few days i11. She had attained the age of 48 years and eight months. Because of the sterling qualities of her mind and character, she was beloved by all who came in contact with her sweet nature. More especially were the beau- tiful traits of her character manifested within the precincts of her home. She (vas a faithful and beloved member of Carmel church and took a deep inter- est in all good work and by her genial manner made for herself a host of friends, whose friendly feelings follow far beyond the grave and whose warm- est sympathies are now with the grief- stricken husband and family. The hearts of all go out to the bereaved ones who now are weeping for the loss of a dear one; but we trust the pros- pect of another nieeting in the hereaf- ter will assuage their grief and afford consolation to their sorrowing hearts. On Tuesday, at 10 a.m., the funeral took place from her late residence, London Road, and was followed to the Exeter cemetery by a large number of sorrowing friends. !fess Alt's Companies at Dimmer. ]Frans Abt, the famous composer, was strolling home one afternoon la Brunswick when he met a friend, who said to him: "You seem very happy, dear fellow. Have you heard any good news?" "Ob, no; I've just taken dinner," was the reply. "You evidently enjoyed it. What did you have to eat?" continued the friend. "A turkey," replied Abt. "And how many were at table?" ask- ed the other.. "There were only two of us," said Abt. "Who was your companion?" inquired the friend. "The turkey," replied Abt. Idea With Beards. What a vast difference there le be- tween one beard and another! There its the long, untrammeled beard, broad and thick, which the owner caresses as 1f It were an infant. Men with sucb beards may, I think, as a rule, be trust- ed rather more than other men. Can you Imagine a Venetian doge or a unen:ber of the council of ten without a beard? I cannot. It you have seen a man of mnrk fondle his long beard during the processes of reflection you will be apt to wonder whether or not his mind would lose its equilibrium if be were In the night to be shaven clean. —All the Year Itound.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseas- d portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian 'lube. When this tube is inflamed you have s rumbling sound or im• perfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deaf. nese is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi. tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will gine One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halle Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.
