On Sunday morning after chapel I
was invited to visit a certain charm-
ing and spacious Elton garden—in-
vited thither, and not a little flatter -
to be invited, by its owner and creat-
or, a master :of high and venerable
standing in the school. His garden
was very remarkable. It lay apart
from the houses and the street,
eeoluded in an unaccountable net-
work et branching streams; for the
Thames at this point scatters itself
Into several meandering - channels,
willeveshaded waterways that coil and
twist and are gathered again into a
great weir -stream that washes Fel-
low's Eyot aud- the playing fields;.
and on one of the broad island -
patches between the water and the
water this beautiful garden lay re-
mote, a place of green alleys and vine
trellises and rose -beds of trim bola
dere and shaven'turf, of orchards and
wildernesses and glowing dower -
drifts in the meadow -grass. . The.
hand of a garden -lover had fashion-
ed the whole of it, frons . the breadth
of the open lawn in the midst to the
deepened shadow of . the further re-
cesses—and a hand, moreover, that
draws back and is stayed at the right
point where tbe loose spring -tower-
ing of the meadow and the river
bank, left to itself, slips fromunder
the fringe of the garden and rambles
away in freedom. It is an enchant-
ing peace to visit on the first Sunday
morning of June, especially when you
ere feeling rather proud of -the invita-
tion. offered you in stern but friend-
ly tones. The .owner of the garden
leads you round, grimly pointing out
its failures and shortcomings, the
towers that won't comp up, s,
weeds that won't stay down..
But there is a kingfisher; it is nest-
' ing in the steep earthy bank • that
laces the little hornbeam close and
the, bathing ladder. The, blue streak
is thereand gone again as 700 reach
the spot.—Percy Lubbock, in "Shades)
et Eton."

It is common knowledge that rheu-
matism 10 associated with an excess of
urie acid in the system. Urso aeid is
composed- of needle-like erystals, and
the pain of rheumatism is caused by
those "needles" settling down In the
jolete, muscles and tendons.
Rheumatism
Kruselien Is a powerful' solvent of
these torturing crystals. It swiftly
dulls their sharp edges, then expels
them from the system. Your pains
ease; swellings subside, knotted joints
bccomeloose. Afterwards, the ' little

elimination is ensured. Your inside
