A Word to Mothers.

You have children; you have strong and
enduring love for them; no one else feels as
you feel; to this love we appeal. Nothing
gives you so much Joy as to look upon Your
child rosy and blooming with health. You
know that most of the sickness of childhood
is caused by WORMS; they make the cheek
to pale; the rose to fade; they call the physi-
ciSn tn the bedside; they dig the graves Of
children; they ring your fond and loving
hearts with anguish. But grieve no more,
PARKER'S SANTONINE WORM LOZ-
ENGES will save your child. They expel
the worms from the stomach completely,
give health and vigor to the child, lustre to
the eye and color to the cheek. Thousands
of mothers all over the land to-day are using

A Beautiful story.

Coleridge ralates story to this effect:
Alexander, during his march into Atrl-
ca, came to people dwelling IN peace
ful huts, who knew neither war nor con-
quest. Gold being offered him, be re-
fused it, saying that his sole object was
TO learn the manners and customs otthc
inhabitants. "S!ay with u.s." said the
chief, "as long as it pleaseth thee"
During this interview with the Aln
can chief, two of his subjects brought a
case before him for judgement. The dis
pute was this The one had bought a
piece of ground, which, after the pur-
chase, was found to contain a treasure
for which he felt himself bound to pay.
The other refused to receive anything,
,tating that he had sold the ground with
what it might be found TO contain ap-
parent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the one
"You have son !" aud to the other :
. You have a daughter; let them be
married. and the treasure given them as
dowry."
Alexander was astonished.
"And what" said the chief. "lwould
have been the decision in your coSn-
try"
1--WE should have dismissed the par
ties and seized the treasure for the kings
use. ,
"Aud does the sun shine in your
country ?" said the chief; "does the
rain fall there9 Are there any cattle
there which feed upon herbs and green
grass ?"
"Certainly," said Alexander.
"Ah," said the chief, " it is for the
sake of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun 10 SHINE
the rain to fall and the grass to grow II
your country"
