At the close of service one Guniay morning in a Washington church the pastor went down the aisle, as is his custom, to greet the strangers in the congregation. With one such he enter- ed into conversation during the course of which he asked: "May I ask, sir, to what denomination you belong?" "Well," was the reply, "I am what you might call a submerged Presbyter. ian." "I beg your pardon," said the puzzled divine. "I was brought tip a Presbyterian," continued the stranger. "My wife is a Baptist; my eldest daughter is a Metho- diet; my son ie the organist at an Uni- versalist church; any second daughter Binger in an Episcopal choir, and my youngest attends a Congregationalist Sunday School." "But you contribute, doubtless, to some one church?" suggested the pastor. "I contribnte to all of them," said the stranger. "That is partly what sub- merges me." r tC3HT�sT •"�f/�'+3�T[AL)A'S _j�l�}�.•�,{�i H MF.'

Arrangements have just been completed whereby a series of The red's Greatest Stories will be told in 5,000 words each. The first one— Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo, will appear in the issue of February 20. The Vicar of Wakefield, Oliver Goldsmith, issue of Feb. 27. The Last Days of Pompeii, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, issue March 6. Waverley, Walter Scott, issue March 13.

The Straight Story Each of these famous classics is retold in ,1,000 words --malting a newspaper page with the illustrations. For this work a writer has been secured who has suc- ceeded in Retaining the characteristics and charm of the classics, and Making each one afascinating tale in itself, that will be sure to hold the reader quite by its own merit. Their Universal Appeal Everyone wants to know enough to be able to converse about the masterpieces of Literature, but only' comparatively few persons have time or patience to read novels of so great Length as are almost alt the classics. This form meets this require. ment equi e- ment ideally. After presenting the list to all kinds and conditions of people -- stenographers, office managers, retailing clerks, bookkeepers. shop girls, artists, re- porters, merchants, lawyers and business men of all grades from self-made men to college graduates—We find that the titles of these classics are singularly fautiliar to all, but the stories thetnselves are practically sealed books. Nearly every one of all these people said one of two things : "I dipped into So -and -So, but never got a chance to flnislt: it." 'Of course I simply must read blase stories. I've trled for years to get the time." No other paper in Canada can publish these stories until after they have appeared in the Weekly Globe and Canada Farmer. Do not miss them. No modern writer could give you anything better, and their appearance is sure to yield universal satisfaction. Another of the Bright Things. These stories are only one of the many good things in store for our readers during' 1907. HUNDREDS OF LETTERS From old subscribers expressing their appreciation of the tinny Improvements appearing from week to week could be published If necessary ---but It is not.

It was universally acknowledged that Mr. Gladstoae's memory was prodl- gious, but there was a certain lord chief Justice of England. who thought the stateman's memory of his feats of memory more proct' 'sus still, On one occasion after listening to what seem- ed to him a "tall story" or some hap- pening of the great man's early years the lord chief justice determined to go 11101 one better. So he said that Ile re- membered when he was only six months old, and, lying 1n his cradle, he saw Itis nurse surreptitiously help her- self to a glass of brandy and said to himself: "As soon as I can speak shan't I tell my mother!" "The thing Is absolntely Impossible," was Mr. Gladstone's comment its bis gravest tone. The lord chief justice said afterward that he had been beaten because be had reckoned on Mr. Gladstone having a gleam of humor. "I was mistaken," he said sadly. Mixed Metaphor. Mr, Spurgeon was a keen collector of mixed metaphors, finding a rich field in the correspondence that daily, overwhelmed bin. Two or three are given in the Cornhill. A lady inclostng a small contribution for his schools wrote, "I hope this widow's mite may take root and spread its branches until it becomes a Hercules in your hands." The pulpit prayers of ambitious pro- bationers added something to the great preacher's store. One prayed that "God's rod and staff may be ours while tossed on the sea of life, so that we may fight the good fight of faith and in the end soar to rest." Still another prayed, "Gird up the loins of our minds, that wo may receive the latter rain." "As if we were barrels whose hoops were loose," was Mr. Spurgeon's laughing comment. — St. James' Ga- zette. • Bustling Mose. de Stael. In my last letter I mentioned going to visit Mme. de Stael. She was just going out as I got to the door, and but for Mr. Rogers, who was coming out as I went in, I should not havo gained admittance. There were many per. sons with her, and she was running about and talking as fast as possible. Her dress and manners are very ex- traordinary. The news of Lord Wel- lington's victory had just arrived, and she descanted upon it with much ani- mation. I cannot better describe to you the bustle she makes than by say- ing that, leaving her, the streets of London seemed solitary, for as to noise and hurry and rapidity in the succes- sion of events there is as much differ- ence between her room and them as between them and the park at Bul- strode.—London Athenaeum. a The Peneoek at Home. The real home of peacocks or pea- fowls is in India. There they were and are hunted, and their flesh is used for food. As the birds live in the same re- . gion as the tiger, peacock hunting Is a very dangerous sport. The long train of the peacock is not its tail, as many suppose, but • is composed of feathers which grow out just above the tail and are called the tail coverts. Pea- cocks have been known for many hun- dred years. They are mentioned in the Bible. Job mentions them, and they are mentioned, too, in I Kings x. hun- dreds of years ago in Rome many thou- sand peacocks were killed for the great feasts which the emperors made. The brains of the peacock were considered a great treat, and many had to be killed for a single feast. Itloseow'e Old Drug Store. The greatest drug store in the world will be found In one of the most back- ward countries of. the world. It ex- ists in Moscow and is over two cen- turies old. Its title is the Old Nikolska pharmacy, and since 1833 it has been in the family of the present proprietor. It Is a building of Imposing dimen- sions, with many departments, includ- ing one of professional education for the staff, which numbers 700 persons. They make up about 2,000 prescriptions a day, and so perfect is the organiza- tion that an error is seldom recorded. A Good Guess of Long Ago. During the American Revolution an English magazine published an esti- mate of the North American colonies. Placing the popluation then at 2,000,- 000 and assuming that it would double Itself every twenty-five years, the writ- er estimated that in the year 1890 the number would hare increased to 64,- 000,000. This may be taken as a most remarkable prophecy, inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixed the total popula- tion at 62,622,2150. hough on the Doctor. When a physician takes a vocation his medical friend who looks after bis patients in his absence often resents being called the "assistant." The re - 'loving doctor would prefer to bo known as colleague or coadjutor or substitute.

Tbe first debt was founded on hope The man oho borrowed hoped be could pay It back, and the man who lent it vtculdn't of done so if he bad not hoped the same way, It is said that Hope springs eternal. But this is not al wasa necessary for Hope to do. In many casts we do not give Hope a chance to spring, but grab it pre- maturely and drag it out. There is no workman so skilled asHope. Hope makes the constructor of theBroek lyn bridge at,d the Simplon tunnel hide their diminished deeds in shame. It builds fortunes in a minute and does castles in.the air while you wait. It has even made a first class cook. It has been a constant complaint among ne for generations tbat Hope's work is not lasting—that it falls to pieces when completed. As if this mat'ered 1 For as long as Hope has the power to build new struc- tures over again, to replace the old, who cares? Then, again, there is a constant variety about Hope's work that appeals to us, It constitutes a personally conducted tour to every desirable spot on earth. And who is there that has made a better heaven? Hope is a household necessity. It pro- vides the certainties of the future for the uncertainties of the past. Hope is an inimitable caterer. It pre- pares for us a continuous feast in the pleasant garden of tomorrow. Only those who revel at its board are thrown out. For. even in the di, hes it prepares for WE, Hope insists n pon temperance. A surfeit of hope oftentimes make hopeless wrecks. We should take as match Hope as pos- sible Every day without decreasing our vitality. As a tonin taker in moderate doses, it is unequaled. Therefore do not enter any place where you must leave Hope behind. W hen you Dome out, Hope may be gone.— Life. FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps Its Formula a Secret. People who are troubled with stomaoh weakness cannot afford to use any rem- edy unless they know what it contains. i,1i o-na is not a mere digestive giving only temporary telief, but a specific for all disorders of the digestive organs, and so effects a permanent cure for stomach troubles. Your physician will tell you that noth- ing is better than a combination of ahem as ly pure bismuth subgallate to ells a ty inflammation of the stomaoh and vowels; cerium oxalate, to strengthen he stomach nerves; sodium bi carbonate which neutralizes the poisonous acids that ere present in stomaoh troubles; and nux vomica, which will restore vigor to the digestive organs and tone the whole nervous system. This combination is found only in Mi- o-na stomach tablets, and it so rarely fails to strengthen the digestive system and cure all forms of stomach disorders that the remedy is sold under a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures.

They wake in the morn- ing, and feel tireder than when they went to bed. They have a dizzy sensation in the head, the heart palpitates; they are irritable and nervous, weak and. worn out, and the lightest household duties during the day seem to be a drag and a burden.

Most of us lead such sedentary lives that when we take much exercise we of- ten feel fatigued and depressed instead of refreshed.
