but hair much of art incentive to

For the saving quality of the genuine

Sigel*, Birder Coln* High.
There used to be fit a/store on Ninth
avenue.. New York, a very valuable ca-
nary whose owner and teacher, the
_wife of the German proprietor, re -
fatted an offer of $500 remit Sometimes
as one entered the place there came

warbling a little in self willed fashion
and then finishing the air. It was a

Smoking ill Banks.
In every bank in New York there is
a rule against smoking, and it is doubt-
ful if any depositor or visitor ever saw
a coil of tobacco smoke gifting through
the atmosphere in the big counting
houses --that is, no visitor who is ex-
cluded from the building promptly
when the bank closes. But if the curl-
, one could squeeze their way through
those elosed portals in the afternoon
they would be treated to a very differ-
ent sight.
The rules against smoking in all the
big banks of the city apply only dur-
ing hatiking hours. After the doors are
closed and locked one emit transforin
himself int° a human volcano with
perfect freedom—and he does. And
"he" is legion.
A Personal Bin of Fare.
A squire of Andover once hired a
brother of Patrick, wbo was in his em-
ploy. The terms were made with Pat
before his brother's arrival, and the
following conversation ensued:
Squire—I'll pay your brother one fifty
day„ Patrick.
Patrick (bowing and smiting)—IIs,
sort yis. sor; and will he ate himself or
will ye ate him, sor?
The squire thought that Dennis bad
better eat himself.
His sobriety.
A :gentleman who had grave doubts
as to a servant's sobriety one day ac-
cused him of intemperance and as a
test chalked a line across the floor and
•commanded him to walk along it.
The fellow looked at the line for a
bit, then at his employer, and natd:
"No jokes. now, sir. Which line do
you want me to walk en?"

COLD CA CHES
THE KIDNEYS.
Cold seems to catch the kidneys more
quickly than any. other vital part of the
body. Situated in the small of the back,
near the surface of the body, they are
readily affected.
Terrible pain and soreness in the back,
thick, scanty urine, painfulin passage and
too frequent, sometimee puffiness under
the eyes and swelling of the ankles, head-
ache and disturbed digestion, are some of
the symptoms following cold striking the
kidneys.
It is not wise in these cases to delay
treatment. A prompt, effective remedy is
needed, and the only one that -can be dee?
pended on to quickly correct the trouble is

BACKACHE -KIDNEY
, TABLETS.
They are incomparable for all forms of
kidney, bladder and urinary troubles, as
the following statement convincingly
proves:
Mr. Chas. Rice, Welland, 04; writes :
"My work, constantly riding on a, wag-
gon and exposed to Oil kinds of, weather,
brought on a severe attack of backache
and kidney trouble, from.which, though' I
tried other mediates, I got no relief. I
procured a bottle of Dr. Pitcher's Back-

in good shape. The back is all right now,

THE WORD MELODRAMA.
It Has Drifted From its Derivation
and Original Sigailleattee.
Nowadays -melodrama" Is In general
use as denoting a purely seosational
play, with an all but impossible hero,
heroine and villain among the charac-
ters represented. Formerly the word
kept more closely in its sigelfication to
Piqua] derivation. "Melodrama" is cone
nounded of the Greek words tnelos, a
song, and drama, an action, a play,
and was applied to two sorts of per-
formances when it first came into use.
It eignified a play, generally of the
romantic school, in Whieh the dialogue
was frequently relieved by music,
sometimes of an incidental and some-
times of a purely dramatic character.
On the strength of his "Pygmalion" J.
J. Rousseau is credited with the inven-
tion of this style. Some of the so called
English operas of the older school, such
as the once famous "Beggar's Opera"
and the once popular "No Song, "No
Supper," are in reality true melo-
dramas.
In the second place "melodrama" was
applied to a peculiar kind of theatrical
composition in which the actor recited
his part in an ordinary epeaking
while the orchestra played a more or
leis elaborate accompaniment appro-
priate to the situation and calculated
to bring its salient features into the
highest possible relief. The merit of
the invention of this description of
melodrama belongs to George Benda,
who used it with striking effect in his
"Arladne auf Naxos," produced at
Gotha iu 1774.—London Globe:
The Ordeals of a Doctor.
It is often claimed by outsiders that
having a profession dulls a woman's
sympathies, but I cannot believe that
this is true in the practice of medicine,
where one side of the work is so im-
measurably sad. I have seen a baby
that mune after fifteen years of wait-
ing and hoping and was rejoiced over
daily and lioarltr for a wonderful year
suddenly strimic down and gasp its lit-
tle life out in a day with pneumonia.
These are the times wben it hurts to
be a doctor, to find that all the knowl-
edge that you possess, all the skill at
your command, is as so much chaff
before the wind. To have a woman
cling to you, begging you to save her
baby, is an ordeal to which no buman
being can grow callous. You must
feel as though the brand of Cain were
upon you when, with all your efforts,
you cannot save the little life. Not
years nor experience can lighten hours
such as these.—Everybody'e Magazine.
Sterzus of Old lingland.
Itt the year 041 in London alone 1,500
houses were blowu down; in October,
1091, a great number of churches and
500 house's were destroyed; in 1235 it
thundered for fifteen days consecutive-
ly. The dreadful night during which
e Cromwell's spirit passed has formed
a theme for poet and partisan. And
the great storm that "o'er pale Britan-
nia passed" in. November, 1703, the
most terrible in British annals, also
has its enduring record in poetry. It
did damage in Loudon to the amount
of £2,000,000; over 8,000 people were
drowned in floods in various parts of
the country; twelve men-of-war, with
over 1,800 menonboard, went down in
sight of land, and the Eddystone light-
house, along with Winstanley, its in-
ventor, was swept away.

It is a standing puzzle that all band

perfectly straight course for very con-
siderable distances. though no more
guidance is given to them than some
species of call or whistle coming from
the winning goal. A blind man, In
fact, desiring to go in a straight line
possesses the curious power of being
able to do so almost exactly. A pro-
vincial mayor instituted a series of
contests ill an open lake between blind
men and ordinary ones of about equal
skill and strength, and the result was
marvelous so far as the straight steer-
ing of thp blind was concerned.—Lon-

There ie n minimum of wood used

Mexico. and there is itheolutely nothing

-houses may contain. The walls are
solidly built of stonh and brick or In
the less costly etruetures of adobes.,
which are thickly plastered inside and
out with mortar or smeeo. The floors
. are of brick, stone or tiles, while the
roofs are of- briek laid In mortar or in
some cities of semicylindrical clay
tiles. Many roofs are arched with
brick laid flat, not on edge, and it le
marvelous how slight a curve some of
these nrches have. Yet they support
heavy weights and have lasted through
centuries.
Flat roofs are supported by 0 by 6
inch hewn pine joists placed eight inch-
es apart. These joists are often twen-
ty feet in length. Tbe doors are heavy,
hanging upon ornamented wrougbt
strap hinges and secured by strong,
haudmade locks, which have remark-
ably large complicated keys. Practi-
cally the only wood used in consieue-
tier) is for the doors and joists which
support the rood The cburch roofs are
invntiably of brick fireheS, GSUnlly sev-
eral arches in each. There are no sucb

The knowledge of wben to sit down
Is invaluable to public speakers end to
their audiences. Perhaps the best plan
Is to secure a cundid friend who will
pull you down by your ettattalls. A
man on his legs" is one with whom
time gallops; he has spoken for half an
hover, and to him it seems but five min-
utes. The excitement of the brain
suggests new and ever new ideals, and
the extemporary thiker in the pulpit
or after a public dinner flounders in
pursuit of these will- o' - the- wisps
through swamps and thickets of bad
grammar haunted by the anacolouthon
and other fearful wild fowl. In the
pulpit there is no man to pull the
preacber down, and many are his "two
words more, my brethren." After pub- -
lie dinners a bored atidieace begins to
talk and laugh, but these symptoms of
disapproval are not marked by the self
absorbed public speaker. In short, the
knowledge of when to sit down is rare
and hard to acquire.—Longman's.

Discontent With Work.
That there is muck discontent with
work among the so called middle class-
es in America is due in large part to
the pampering of children, to the sup-
plying of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental Idea that
"their day of toil will come soon
enough."' In general, work is not a
curse, bet a blessing, a positive means
of grace. - One caa hardly begin too
early to impress upon children lessons
of self help by tasks appropriate to
their age and forces and to beget ill
them scorn of idleness and. of depend-
ence on others. To do this is to make
them happy through the self respect
that comes with the realization of
power and thus to approximate Tenny-
son's goal of man, "Self revere -rice, self
knowledge, self control."—Century.
TWO "Views of she Bells,
A clergyman on his way to thumb
one Sunday morning pulled up to re- i
buke an angler. "Don't you bear the
bells summoning you to church?' be
asked. The fisherman put an inquiring
hand to ,his ear. Encouraged, the hier-
gyman repeated the question. But once
again the fisherman asked for a repeti-
tion, and then again, and even yet
again. Flushing from overmuch bawl -
leg, the parson was about to proceed
on his way when the fisherman spoke.
"Very sorry, gue'nor," be said, "but
them bloomin' bells makes such ins Ito
fernal clatter that 1 can't hear a word
you says."—London Globe.
Durable White -week.
A very durable whitewash that will

phate of zinc) in boding water. only
enough to thoroughly dissolve it; also
a quart of fine salt The bushel of lime
will weigh about seventy pounds, and
by keeping the above proportions a
greater or less amount can, be 311a. e.
