Yet .the speech as delivered in the auditorium had all the appearance, the grace and charm of extempore oratory. 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 president of the Royal aoademy, Millais was in the ohair. He made an admirable speeoh—frank, sympathetlo, eloquent and apparently unstudied. His friends oon- gratuluated him, saying they had no 1d4a he had the gift of oratory or could speak so well and so spontaneously. "Spontane- ous 1" he said.

Paine's Celery Compound, the Great Spring Cleanser and Life Giver. IT MAKES FRESH, PURE, RED BLOOD FOR PALE AND 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. It matters not whether the trouble be rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney disease, liv• er complaint, nervous proetration,agonizing 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 s you .to, the door." 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," ' .70 -the wo men went on arm in arm 1'.':in;ten minutes they were at the ''doo :: a I : rted.

"'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- ed that he ought to be thankful for be - ng born blind, because he had so much eisure for quiet thought.

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 alive and practicing law in Greenville. Madisonville (Ky.) Hustler.

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.— Ella Morris Krotsohmar in Woman's Home Companion. A Chapter .f Delays.
