This is the story of a quickened con- science : One night, several years ago, there was a fire in a commission house. The con- tents were almost totally destroyed, and the loss, as figured by the insurance ad- justers; was quite large. After an esti- mate had been made a member of the firm bro'ig •.t in a claim for an additional loss, saying that a large number of egg cases had been burned. These cases had recently been shipped in and the house was responsible for them. After some haggling au. extra al'owance of $450 was made on amount of these cases for ship- ping eggs. At least five years atter that the mem- ber of the irm who had put in the spec- ial claim called at the office of the insur- ance company and said that he wanted to ease his conscience as to an item in the insurance adjustment. The egg cases destroyed had belonged to various shippers, and they had been induced to accept the loss, so that it was nothing more than right that the $450 insur- ance money should be returned to the company. This unusual exhibition of delayed honesty affected the insurance manager greatly, and he asked the commission man what had induced him to return the money after such a long interval. " Well, I'm going out of business," was the reply, •' and I want to leave every= thing square and in good condition." A sew days later the brother (who was also the business partner) of the man with the conscience came to the insur- ance office an 1 asked : " Did my brother come around here the other day and pay you 545) ?" "Yes, sir ; he refunded that insurance money which was paid under—under a misapprehension, as you might say. Is there anything wrong about it ?" "Oh, no, nothing wrong ; only when he collected that money he had it credit- ed to his personal account, and now he has refunded it out of the firm's money." Solomon's Temple. The cost of Solomon's Temple and its parapher- nalia a a her - other r P and interior decorations P nalia was one of the wonders of the olden times. According to Villalpandus, the "talents" of gold, silver and brass used in its construction were valued at the enormous sum of $6,879,8.22,000. The worth of the jewels is generally placed at a figure e4ually as high. The vessels of gold, according to Joeephus,,were valued at 140,000 talents which; reduced to Eng- lish money (as has. been shown by Cha- pel's reduction tables), was equal to £575,296,203. The vessels of silver, ac- cording to the same authorities, were still more valuable, being set down as worth £469,344,000. Priests' vestments and robes of singers. £2,010,000 ; trumpets, £200,000, To this add the expense of building materials, labor, etc., and we get some wonderful figures. Ten thousand nien hewing cedars, 60,000 bearers of burdens, 80,000:,hewers of . stone, 3,300 overseers, all of Which were employed for seven years " and upon whom, besides their wages, Solomon bestowed £6,733,997. If their dairy food was worth two shil- lings each, the, sum total for all was £63,- 876,08B during'the time of building, The materials in the sough ., are estimated as having been worth £2,513,337,000, These several estimates showthe total cost to £17,442,442,168, or `77,521,665,936 in United States money. Exercise for Dyspepsia. A fruitful cause of indigestion is eating when one is either physically or mentally tired. At such times one should not take solid food. Drink, instead, a glass of 'lot milk. Nothing ie equal to itas a stimulant and sedative. The milk should never bo scalded, but, heated quickly, and drank as hot as it can be, comfortably. The process of heating re- duces both its sweetness and density, but the effect of its cordial and stimulating power is felt at once. Some portions 9f the milk are appropriated and digested almost immediately after being taken in- to the stomach. Many who think they need stimulant when exhausted , by fa- tigue will find a glass of hot milk an equivalent that will be at once satisfying and revivifying, without any deleterious after effects. It has long been demonstrated that motion round and about a vital organ re- acts upon it and vitalizes it. Exercise is a great aid to digestion, and special ex- ercises intended to act directly on the di- gestive organs are recommended as cures for dyspepsia. The one called the . torso exercise is very beneficial, and is an in- valuable aid to weak and impaired diges- tion. 'With the arms hanging lifeless from the shoulders—technically called "decomposed" or "devitalized,"—and keeping the feet firmly on the floor, twist the body as far as you earturn it from right to left and vice versa ; this stimu- lates voluntary functions, and expels stagnant, juices,—Demorest's Magazine. As Has Been Said. The conqueror is regarded with awe ; the wise man commands our respect ; but it is only the benevolent man that wins our affections. All the higher arts of design are essen- tially chaste. They purify the thoughts, as tragedy, according to Aristotle, puri- fies the passions. Why, of all living, art thou made cap- able of blushing ? The world shall read thy shame upon thy face ; therefore, do nothing shameful. She keptthe gift of the fairy—the beautiful gift—to the end; and whenever her heart touched another she found the heart of a friend. Many mean things are done in the family for which moods are put forward as the excuse, A man or woman has no moral right to indulge in an unpleasant mood. . Phillip of Macedon refuted by gold all the wisdom of Athens ; confounded their statesmen ; struck their orators dumb, and at leng.h argued them out of their liberties. Who is a true man ? He who does the truth, and ne ver holds a principle on which he is not prepared in any hour to act, and in any hour to risk the conse- quence of holding it. An honest and a perfect man com- mands.all, light, all influence, all fate ; nothing to him falls early, or too late ; our acts our angels are, for good or ill, our fatal shadows that walk by us still. To know that there are some souls, hearts and minds here and there, who trust and whom we trust, some who know us and whom we know, some on whom we can always'rely and who will always rely on us, makes a paradise of this great world. This makes our, life really life. ' His Favorite Drink. Dr. Sims was one of the most promi- nent members of the general assembly while he was there, and was a gentleman of the old-time Georgia school. He was very fond of the society of younger men than himself, and was always good com- pany wherever he was thrown, telling jokes of the funniest variety wherever he went, and making friends on every side. Those who were his colleagues in the legislature remember very well the trip to Savannah, when the general assembly was invited to that hospitable town to witness the stride Savannah was making towards securing "deep water" in the port. Dr. Sims was taken in tow by one of the most prominent citizens of Savan- nah, and taken to one of the clubs along with the other members for what the Savannah folks term "refreshments." "Now," said the hospitable Savannah- ian, "you can find every sort of liquid in this,club you ever heard of in the shape of wines and tempting drinks. There is not a thing you can call for that will not be served you promptly and up to the queen's taste." "I'm afraid you haven't my favorite drink," said Dr. Sims, dryly. Oh, anything in the world," said the Savannahian; " you will find every bran's, every drink known to human palate= champagne, cocktail, fine sherry. oldest Maderia, .finest whiskys—every- thing !" '•I repeat that I am afraid my fastidi- ous palate cannot be satisfied at your club," said the doctor with even greater seriousness. - "Pray what can it he that you would have?" asked the gentleman of Savannah. "A glass of plain water." S ire enough it was not to be found in the club. An Unexpected Answer. " Waal—er—hem !—children," began Colonel Handy Polk, the well-known real- estate, loan, and insurance agent of Okla- homa, who had wandered into a Sunday school, and been invited by the superin- tendent to address the children, "I didn't come yere with the expectation of makin' a speech; butthat I've been called now v on, I'll say a few words on the—er—ah= duties of honesty and—er—truth. Hon- esty -is the best policy. Alwers be honest, children, and alwers be truthful. As— er—What's-his-name truly said, an hon- est man is the—er—er—noblest work of God. And a truthful man is better—er —ah—many sparrers. Alwere remember that, children. If everybody was honest, what a different world this would be ! But, alas ! they hain't. Instead, the gen- erality of mankind in—or—general is forever tryin' to git the better of the—er —er—generality of mankind in—er—ah —general, so to speak. From this we should learn—should learn, as it were, to —er—be honest, Bat I'll tell you a little story to sorter illustrate my meanin'. Once on a time thar was a boy whose parents were poor, but honest, and tried to raise him up in the—er—way he should go. But he wouldn't obey 'em, and seemed to take a delight in dein' wrong. He began stealin' little things when he was nohighar than the table, and 'peered to prefer to lie when the truth would have done just as well, or even better. He grew worse and worse as time passed on, and by the time be had grown to be a man he had become a regular out -and- out.scouhdrel. A'e made a business of swindlin', lying', and cheatin , and seemed to glory in his shame. And what do you suppose became of him ? I ask you children, where do you suppose he is at now?" And the colonel's innocent hearers answered, in one voice "He now stands before us !" Heliogabulus divorded one of hie wives because she had a mole on her shoulder. DIED OF BROKEN HEART.. 171. Some Singular (lases of the Effect o Sadden Emotion. In the old days, when the practi medicine was acoordip cal empirical not', was often set 4 Later, in the yo was declared t thing as heartb many years eve found out that sometimes, aetuall marvelous muscle th': the same time most delica man body, sends the life bl'o and pulsating through every ante the entire system, It seems to be agree by (looters that Mrs. Agnes Wolf of Brooklyn die i of broken heart the other day, for the certificate of death gave "heart failure and excessive grief" as the cause. Mrs. Wolf's grief was on account of the death of her mother, It was in June that relief came to the older woman, who had suffered from a painful illness for months, and the younger was never herself again.. After her death her funeral was delayed several days, in order to enable the doctors to definitely decide upon the cause of her death. It is not often that heartbreak operates so slowly. Usually it causes death in a few hours, if not instantly. One of the saddest deaths that might properly be spoken of as due to a broken heart occurred on September 1, ten years ago, in Cadiz, 0. The victim was Miss Alice McCiba, a young and exceedingly intelligent girl of rather nervous tem- perament. She was engaged to marry James Nash. a young man who was given to joking. On the Saturday even- ing prior to his sweetheart's death young Nash called upon her, according to his weekly custom. During the entire even- ing he allowed his rather clumsy wit full play. When he was ready to go, after kissing the girl , good -night, he turned suddenly and said : "Well, Alice, I guess I won't come to see you again. We've had a good-time playing engaged, haven't we ? We'll be friends all our lives now, but that's all." Alice looked searchingly in his face and then sank to the floor in a spa=m, dying in thirty-six hours. Authors and Books. Conan Doyle stands as high as any living novelist to -day, either in this country or in Europe. He is six feet two. HenrikK. Ibsen, who is now sixty-seven years of age, was an apothecary's clerk in Skien, Norwao, when he wrote his first play. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley wrote his life of "Marlborough" standing at his desk in his dressing gown and before breakfast. Count Tolstoi's son has published a short story, which has been reproduced in a Parisian newspaper. He is said to have more radical views than his father. George Solomon, a Parisian book col- lector, has a collection of seven hundred volumes, none of them being larger than one inch wide by two inches high. The Berlin royal library has acquired a Semitic manuscript by a Hebrew doctor of the fourteenth century which promises to throw much light on the history of medicine. Paris papers say that the pope recently told several French prelates that he would not receive M. Zola, the writer, should the latter ask for an audience. He gave as a reason that the novelist was a declar- ed enemy of the church. IN CASE OF NOSE -BLEED. What Causes It In Youth and Later, and What to Do. Bleeding from the nose is caused by the congestion of the lining membrane of the nose. This congestion may be the result of catarrh, or more properly, of the diseased condition of the nasal membrane, which is due to catarrh; or it may accompany congestion of some organ of the body, as the liver. It may also result from heart disease, or even from dyspepsia. Nose bleed in children is commonly supposed to indicate nothing more than that the child tires easily, or is overactive. Yet even these terms express more than is obvious upon a casual reading of the words. If a child tires easily, or in other words, if the least overexertion at play or at study results in a more or less severe at- tack of nosebleed, the child must be in a weakened state; while, on the other hand, if he is accustomed to allow his play or his studies so to absorb his interest as to make him forget his fatigue, he is plac• ing an injudicious strain upon his consti- tution. In either case he will be benefited by a curtailment of work, and an increase is the amount of time allot. ed for rest, until his body is more fully developed. No child's mi .d can be developed faster than the body, except at the expense of his health. Nose -bleed occurring in middle life and old age is a more serious thing, as it in- dicates a graver condition of affairs. It is usually coincident with disease of the liver, heart or kidneys. Its cure is, of course, dependent upon the restoration of the organs to a normal condition. In elderly persons the disorder sometimes appears to result from weakness, which, in turn, it aggravates. It is a common saying that, in 1uil- blooded personsan occasional nose -bleed is beneficial; and this may in a. certain sense be true, inasmuch as the nasal membranes are thus relieved of conges • tion. But it is safe to say that bleeding from the nose is never anything but a sign of weakness. The treatment of an attack of nose -bleed consists in absolute rest and cool applica- tions to the head. The extremeties should be warm. The head should not be held down over a basin, as this favors tho flow of blood. One of the simplest and most effectual methods of stopping an ordinary attack i$ for the person to stand erect, with ththead in the usual upright posi- tion, and the hands extended at length directly over the head. DOES NOT IRRITATE, BUT HEALS. South 'American Kidney Cure Curet Kidney Disease Speedily and Ef- fectively. It is remarkable that those who suffer from kidney disease grow* impatient of those medicines that are slow in their. cure. Who enjoys pain ? The beauty of South American Kidney Cure is , that it relieves the sufferer almost instantane- otisly. What sick one does not know the delight that comes when pain is relieved? .Kidney Cure, as a plain matter of faEt, relieves the most distressing kidney and bladder troubles in six hours. It is hard to say Anything more for it. Who want, more said for it ? d, offie corner about er. It was named a +r: respected and well- known family, of Strangs. The neigh- borhood is a quiet one, being inhabited by a church -going, sober, industrious people. Among the people of that neigh- borhood none is better or more favorably known than Mr. Thos. Strang. Mr. Strang is a man of middle age and a bachelor. A few days ago he related to the Herald the story of his recovery from an illness which he believes would have resulted fats,lly but for the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, The origin of Mr. Strang's trouble was la grippe which, de- veloped into heart disease: He laid for months with every nerve in his frail body unstrung. He tried many medi- cines, but none seemed to materially benefit' him, He would rally at times and endeavor to walk, but his system be- ing reduced and weakened he would fre- quently fall prostrate to the ground, and his friends had to carry him into the house. This terrible state of things lasted for months and all the while be was getting weaker, and even the moat hopeful of his friends feared the worst. Mr. Strang was strongly urged to try the world renowned Dr. Williams'•Pink Pills and consented to do so. A neighbor was dispatched to the Comber drug store for a supply. In a few days after beginning their use be began to improve. In a couple of weeks he was able to walk around, and to -day Mr. Strang is rejoic- ing and telling the same old story that hundreds of others are telling in this fair Dominion—the story of renewed strength through the use of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, Mr. Strang is now a sound man. Quite; frequently he walks to Comber, a distance of six miles, te attend church. He informed the Herald that he was only too glad to give his experience so that suffering humanity may also reap the benefit and thus be released from the thraldom of disease and pain. To his benefactors—for thus they are—Mr. Strang feels that he owes a debt of grati tude. With him the days when beads of agony stood on his brow have passed away, and his body has been regenerated anew by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The after effects of la grippe and all troubles due to poor blood or shattered neves, speedily yield to a fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They cure when other medicines fail, and no one should suffer for an hour without giving this great remedy a trial.

Smith Oared of ChronioRheu- matism By South 'American Rheu- matic :Cure—The Great Rheumatic Remedy Again Conquers Wk ere Doo - tors Had Failed. Mr. J. E. Smith of Amosa Wood Hos- pital, St. Thomas, Ont,: "For a longtime I was afflicted with very bad rheumatic pains, and they became so intense that life to me was a misery. I saw the South American Cure advertised, and deter- mined on giving it a trial, and procured a bottle from R. 3. Old, druggist, of St. Thomas. Before taking one half the bot- tle I found the greatest relief, but kept on taking it, using in all four bottles. I used that quantity to give the medicine a fair trial, although I had no sign of an ache or pain after taking the second bottle. I can strongly recommend this remedy to all sufferers from rheumatism. I feel confident it will do for them what it did for me." CANNOT EASILY FOOL HIM. Mr. W. S. Smith, Editor of The Toronto Evening News, Knew What He Was Writing When He Penned A Good Word for Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Remedy. Professional men have been strong in their recommendation of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder as a remedy for cold in the head and catarrhal troubles. We have already published in these columns warm words of endorsement from load- ing clergymen and professors in the edu- cational institutions of the country. One thing be sure of, that it is not an easy matter to fool the newspaper man. He sees a good deal of the inside of life. This fact gives value to the words of endorsement of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder recently penned by Mr. W. S. Smith, the well-known editor of '`The Evening News. One short puff of the breath through the blower, supplied with each bottle of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, diffuses this powder over the surface of the nasal passages, 'Painless and delightful to use, it relieves in ten minutes, and perman- ently cures catarrh, hay fever, colds, headache, sore throat, tonsilitis and deaf- ness. 60 cents. Most Pronounced Symptoms of Heart Disease, and How to Secure Relief in 30 Minutes. The most pronounced symptoms of heart disease aro, palpitation or flutter- ing of the heart, shortness of breath. weak or irregular pulse, smothering spells at night, making it necessary to sit up in bed to breathe, swelling of. feet or ankles, say the most eminent authorities is one of the surest signs of a diseased heart. Nightmare is a com- mon symptom, spells of hunger or ex- haustion. It is estimated that 60 per cont. of all cases of dropsy come from heart disease. The brain may bo con- gested, causing headaches, dizziness or vertigo. In short, whenever the heart flutters it tires out easily, aches or pal- pitates, it is diseased and nothing will give such perfect relief or so speedily ef- fect a oure as Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart, It has saved thousands of lives, and your's may be counted among the number if its use is begun at once. This remedy absolutely never fails to give perfect relief in thirty minutes, and is as harmless as the purest milk, '5 verve Curiosities. divorce was recently granted e defendant pulled this plain - of ' ed by his whiskers," an law allowed ,divorce for three auses ; Adultery, designs on a husband's life, and the possession of false keys.

A New York wife was granted a divorce because her husband threw the baby at her, when she hit him with the coal bucket for spitting on the stove. A Michigan woman was released be- cause the husband did not provide the necessaries of life, saying, "he would not work his toenails off for any woman." In Minnesota a decree was given to the wife because "the defendant never cuts his toenails, and, being restless in his sleep, scratches this plaintiff severely." A Missouri divorce was once granted because "the defendant goes gadding about, leaving this plaintiff supperless, or, if he gets any; he has to cook it him- self." A New York man, in petitioning for di-eorce, pleaded that °`the defendant tt uuld not sew on this plaintiff's buttons, neither would she allow him to go to fires at night."

An Indiana divorce was some years ego granted because "the defendant pulled all the clothes off this plaintiff's bed, and she likewise ran a knitting needle four inches into his arm," A Kansas wife was released from her husband because "the defendant pinched the nose of this plaintiff, causing it to be- come very red,thereby causing the plain- tiff great pain and anguish of mind. Gallus divorced his wife because she ran about with her head bare ; Vetus got rid of his because he saw her talking with, a freed woman ; Sophus because she went to the theatre ; Emillius Paulus because he did not like her. Agonizing, Transfixing Pain. The most excruciating pain known is perhaps caused by Agina Pectoris, which is most to be dreaded of any of the diseases of the heart. It distin- guishes itself especially by pain, and by pain which is best described as agonizing. The pain literally trans- fixes the patient, generally radiating from the heart to the left shoulder and down the arm. The face shows the pic- ture of terror, and is either deathly white, or livid. To a person suffering from this species of heart trouble or from palpita- tion or fluttering of the heart, shortness of breath, or smothering spells, the valet of Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart can- not be estimated, as it will give relief in thirty minutes in every case, and if judi- ciously used, effect a cure. Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart is the greatest life saving remedy of the age.
