DOUBLING UP.-It is told of Rev.
Joseph Cook that when he was a theo-
logical student at Andover, he occu-
pied rooms in the seminary dormitories.
but always insisted upon being allowed
the privilege of rooming alone. The
rapid increase in the number of stu
dents at the seminary, however. neces-
STATED "donbling up" and chum was
assigned to Mr.. Cook, who endured the
inconvenience for time with equanim-
ity. Finally he decided to relieve him
self, 50 far as possible, of the incubus,
and. procuring some chalk, he drew a
chalk-line across the middle of their
room, continuing the line up the walls
and across the ceiling. Then, sum
mening his chum, he pointed out the
chalk mark, and in stentorian tones in
quired:
Which side of that chalk line will
you prefer, sir?''
The chum chose the side that best
suited him, and was requested to keep
on that side of the line at all times.
And Joseph and his chum thencefor-
ward lived together. but apart from
each other. in blessed coHtentment.

He Still Lives.

Some years ago DR.. r. V. Pierce, of the
Worlds Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, and London. was sent for to
examine terrible disease of the knee joint
resulting in liberation and extensive slough
ing of the bone and tissues. The mans life
had been despaired of by the previous at
tendants. Amputation at the thigh was
promptly decided upon and skillfully per-
formed by DR.. Pierce, and as after treatment
to purify the bio ID and prevent recurrence
of the malady the doctors Golden Medical
Discovery was freely prescribed. The mans
system was thoroughly purified and
strengthened. he rapidly gained his health,
the stump healing nicely, and he is to-day. q
happy man. This case was among the first
in which this wonderful blood purifier was
tested. 1t has since manifested its wonder
full power over the worst scrofulous and
other blood diseases. Taken for time it SO
puriies and strengthens the system as to
strongly fortify it against the encroachments
OF diseases. Sold by druggists.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating should bear
in mind that the dear inmates of her house
are more precious than many houses, and
that their systems need cleansing by purify
ing the blood, regulating the stomas and
bowels to prevent and cure the diseases
arising from spring malaria and miasma,
and she must know that there is nothing
that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop

The Robertson Process

For working rebellious ores is remarkable
for its simplicity and cheapness. No other
method is known which so completely re-
duces rebelious gold and silver ores to the
same condition as free milling ore. Parties
who have the machinery for pulverizing and
amalgamating can erect a suitable furnace
for using the Robertson Process at a cost of
from $1,000 to 81, 500, according to capacity
required. For full particulars address John

The Summer SOlstice,

One great reason why hot weather Is so
debiitating lies in the fact that the body is
exhausted by the labors of the year. Indeed.
it is natural that this should be SO. In
order. therefore, 10 resist this tendency To
exhaustion, it only becomes necessary to re
invigorate the body, which can readily be
done by one or Two bottles of Warmers Safe
Tonic. This remedy is being extensively
used by physicians for this purpose, and is
for sale BY druggists in all parts OF the world.

A Monk With a Fortune.

A suit at law respecting property
left by monk named Agostino, whose
home was at Malta, has recently been
tried at Constantinople before the Su-
preme Consular Court of the English
Government. Agestino was a Capu-
chin and a member of the monastery of
that Order at Malta. Like his brothers,
he had voluntarily imposed upon him
self the vow of poverty, but in spite of
this he accepted salaried appointed at
Tunis charged by the British Govern
ment with the care of the British Roman
Catholics at that place. He lived some
years in Office and prospered the while,
leaving handsome collection of saw
ings when he died. A large number
of competitors came up to contest their
right to the money. First the convent
put in its claim as entitled to all things
acq dired by the individual members of
the society, but it was met with the Ob-
lection that the VOW of poverty applied
to the community as well as to each of
members. Then claim came from
the Pope as head of the Propaganda
tldei, and finally the collateral rela-
tiyes of the deceased insisted that the
property should go to them, After ad-
mitting as valid the objections made to
the claim of the convent and refusing
to allow that the Pope had any right to
the fortune, the Consul decided that it
must be disposed of according to Malta
laws and rs if Agostino had no. been a
monk. At the same time J. 4 that
if the English Govern imed
the property, it wou. very
difficult to Withstand in
its favor.
