in the auditorium had all the appearance,

Sir John Millais was a graceful speaker,
but his speeches Dost him a great deal of
time and labor. At a dinner given at the
Arts club, on Leighton's appointment as

Cleanser and Life Giver.

SALLOW PEOPLE.
April is now with ne. The feathered
songsters are here again warbling their
r"
•sweetest notes in prone of praise for a new
season. Nature is throwing off her old
.gab. The trees are budding, the grass is
fallowing new life, and soon the wild flow-
.ers will put on their dazzling dress of beau-
ty and richness. All nature seems to be
calling out to man, saying, "Be happy and
rejoice; give thanks to Him who makes
each glorious provision tor the children of
•earth."
Many a thankful prayer will ascend
from truly grateful and healthy men and
'women for the beauties and bounties of the
new season. On the other hand, a vest
multitude of half dead, broken down, weak,
debilitated and suffering men and women
will not have the capacity to appreoiate
the meroice so bountifully bestowed. Their
thoughts are centred on their affiiotions
and sufferings; they are moody, despond-
ent, morose, and some are hopeless in de-
epai r.
It is to this suffering ohms that we
would speak words of hope and comfort.
Warning would be unneceesery if you
fully realized the fact that Paine's Celery
Compound aures the disease that is now
making such progress and havoo in your
body.

Preached by/a Blind Alan
An English clergyman of eminence
was asked by a group of London
'friends whose was the best sermon he
had ever heard.
"If you mean," be answer, "the ser-
mon which has influenced me most
directly and never been forgotten, I
can tell you at once. It was preached
in the streets of Boston many years
'-''''mgd; Blind man "
He had been preaching, he said, in
Phillips Brooks' church, and had start-
ed to walk back to the house where
he was staying. Being a stranger in
Boston, he became confused, and turn-
ing to a man who was behind him ask-
ed to be directed to the house.
' "Why, it is the preacher!" exclaim-
ed his companion. "I know you by
.ronsenr voice, for I was in the church
rad he'ard you preach, I am blind,
calm show- -you the way. I can

h ,:clergyman protested that he
ould 'rant think of troubling the blind
and th Lt he could find his way by
bimself.
"Surely," said his new acquaintance,
you will not refuse me the pleasure
of conducting you. I am not a beggar.
Everylldne is so kind to me, and it is
eeldmla, legeed, that I can render any
one a, service," '

friends, "the story of a -pan blind

th contentment and peace, and
whose heart was thrilled with a sense

"'His parents had sent him to a
school for the blind where he had
been. taught to read by raised letters,
chid they had left a small income that
sufficed for his wants. He lived alone,
•but could go about the streets without
a guide. He told me that he consider-

Two Great Poet* Who wen+. Elisa
In the roll of the great poets of the past
two, who hold the very highest pleoea,,
were for an important period of their
lives nnposseeeed of the power of vision—
Homer and Milton. Happily these renown-
ed followers of the muses made good use
of their eyes In youth; otherwise it is
ecaroely possible that they oould have left
to ns the finished pictures of natural
scenery and other visible objects of crea-
tion which are to be found among their
compositions. Homer had reached 'nun-
hood and had written a conelderable por-
tion of the "Iliad" before he was attacked
by that disease of the eyes which robbed
them of their wonted powers. But the
whole of the"Odyssey" was composed after
the oeourrenoe of this great mishap.
Milton is stated by most biographers to
have permanently lost his sight in 1664
after a progressive and warning decay of
several years' duration. "Paradise Lost"
was not published till 1687, and it was
composed when the poet was ported')
blind.—New York Ledger.
His Case Continued.
They tell the following in connection
with John Allison, the well known Muh-
lenberg lawyer: John is very much of a
wag, and on one occasion, even when
death was staring him in the face, he could
not repress his disposition to b. funny.
He became 111 at his home in Greenville
with what was supposed to be heart dis-
ease, and a physician was hastily sum-
moned. When he arrived, John was gasp-
ing for breath, and his friends expected
bim to die at any minute. When the doc-
tor asked him what was the matter, h@
000lly replied, "Doe, I have an intimation
that my case is about to be called, and, if
possible, I want to get a continuance."
The doctor went to work with him, and,
eontrery toeverybody's expectation, did
get John a continuance, and be is Still

Moms Practical Points For Ifsalthrfalacmis
In Heating and Ventila*1ag.
There are awe helps to a good and
healthful house atmosphere (and freak
complexions) be be considered—freshness
and moisture. Ignorance is apt to regard
everything outside of its personal expert•-
snoe as stupid "faddism," or, more harsh-
ly, "erankfem." So these suggestions are
addressed to the intelligent only. Deni
air, like dead wood, bas but little beating
power. We have all endured the experi-
ence of being in an atmosphere hot enough
to produce headache, yet feeling chilly.
That air wee vitiated and dead and would
disgust even the ignorant in its analysis.
It is a perfectly simple matter to change
the air in any part of the house, and a
servant should understand the order
"Change the air" in inch and such rooms
as readily as to change the tableoloth for
dinner. You have only to open wide doors
and windows for a quick sweeping through
of a fresh ourrent from outside, and the
thing is accomplished. Do not open one
window to do it gradually, as the walls
and contents of the rooms become chilled
—a wasteful and uncomfortable result.
Literally "change the air," and do it as
quickly as possible. You will find the plan
a great economy in heat, aside from the
benefits to health and comfort. litany
houses are provided with arrangements
for continuous ventilation, but even in
these the quick, radical changes of air will
not come amiss. Fresh air heats up to
quickly, and its lightness and very percep-
tible freshness are most welcome.
Now as to moisture, the other factor in
e
,healthful atmosphere, furnaces and
other oellar heating apparatus are usually
provided with arrangements for evaporat-
ing water, but from negleot to keep these
filled or some other cause the air of fur-
nace heated houses is always dry, unless
some special provision against such dry-
ness has been made.
A good plan to to put regular dripping
pans beneath the registers, and no one but
the person keeping thee@ filled will credit
the amount evaporated daily therefrom.
With steam heat open vessels filled with
water should be placed upon the radiators.
In handsomely appointed rooms brass ves-
sels, as jardinieres or granite dripping
pane, with open filigree brass covers, made
for the purpose, may be provided. If ap-
pearances are not a consideration, any por-
celain lined pan will serve admirably.—
