Impaired Digestion.
The majority of people suffer to greater or
lesser degree from this sad affection: many
unthinkingly cultivate it by insuficiently
masticating their food others whose occupa-
ton is of a sedentary character have it forced
upon them, the excessive use of tobacco, ETC..
all tend to deve lop it. The symptoms vary
one suffering severely after meals, another
only slightly, constipations or diarrhoea. fat
ulence, variable appetite etc. are only few
OF its unpleasant consequences. Now what is
required, is attendance to diet, assisted by a.
remedy which aids the natural secretions in
the alimentary canal and produces again a
normal solvency OF food. Such a valuable rem
edy is the celebrated HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Solomon, the Preacher.

Solomon was a great experiment
er on human life. He tried all ways
of it. He tried what wealth, what
wisdom, what mirth and music, bull
ding of houses, planting of vine
yards, making of orchards and gar
dens could do to make a man hap
py and to keep him so. ..,-.
And he conducted each expert
ment of this kind upon the largest
scale, and carried it to it's furthest
issue. His position gave him full
command of all the means and in
struments of human enjoyment, and
he exercised that command without
limitation or restraint. Whatsoever
his eyes desired he kept it not from
them; he withheld not his heart
from any kind ofjoy.
We are not to imagine that he did
all this at the prompting of any
higher motive, or for any religious
end. He did it as multitudes in les
ser spheres and to a more limited
extent are doing ito crafty the
devices and desires of his own heart.
But he was, all the while, though
unconsciously, fulfilling high and
benevolent purpose of the supreme,
and when afterwards he was
brought to the love and service OF
God. he was directed to put on rec
ord for the guidance and warning
of all after generations, history OF
his earlier experience. 1t is in the
light, regarding them as written for
this purpose, that the opening chap
ters of the Book Of Ecclesiastes are
to be read by every biblical student

The Late Prince Imperial.

London, July 2S.-Brigadier- Gen
eral Sir Evelyn Wood, who accom-
panied the ex-Empress Eugene to
Zululand, has sent the papers de-
perial, collected from the indepen-
dent narratives of eighteen Zulus
who participated in the attack on
the Princes party.
These narratives show that the
attacking party numbered forty,
twelve of whom followed the Prince,
eight of them being immediatly con
cerned in his death, The Zulus
having nearly surrounded the
Prices party, fired and rushed on
them as they were mounting. The
Prince, not having succeeded in
mounting, ran alongside his horse
until it broke away. The Prince
followed the horse in the donga un-
til being closely pressed by his pur.
suers he turned upon them, in the
words of the Zulus, like lion al
bay" Being struck by an assegai
in the side and left shoulder, he
rushed at the nearest opponent, who
fled. Another Zulu then fired al
the Prince when only ten yards
from him. The Prince fired his pis
tol, and faced his rapidly increasing
foes, until menaced from his right
and rear. and struck by another as
segai. He regained the level oil
which he had first stood in the don
ga, where he was speedily surroun
ded. He seized an assegai which
had been thrown at him. In strug-
Cling with his terrified horse his
sword had fallen from its scabbard
and with this assegai he defended
himself against seven or eight Zulus
who state that they did not dare tc
close on him until he sank exhaust
ed on his hips. The above facts
were elected from Zulus who were
Examined separately on the scene o
attack. 1t may be remarked tina
this is the first correct description o
the affair that has yet been pub
| lished. .+....-

Mirth at Home.

A merry heart doeth good like
machine, but a broken spirit drieth
the bones. declares the wisest of
men. A swift appreciation of the
ludicrous is the happy birthright of
some fortunate people, but there are
those who never see joke quickly,
and who cannot comprehend why it
makes others laugh, even after it
has been duly explained. If, as the
proverb says, laughter is medicinal,
thev are much to he pitied. They
are not cautioned against the sharp
corners and hard knocks of life.
There is 4 coarse wit that is allied
to butfoonerv and may decend to- in
decency and the less we have of that
the better. The brightness and
buoyancy which makes the day
cheerful; which lift the wearied and

which impart courage when disaster
seems imminent, are priceless gifts.
The merry making the best of
things, seeing the silver edge along
the thickening clouds, remembering
how much worse misfortune might
have befallen, and being CHEEKY
when others are discouraged, how
noble are these qualities when put
in practice and how brave they may
be. l agree, in measure, with the
brilliant French woman, who said
that 'the joyousness of a spirit is an
index of its power" words true for
all time. 1t should be a matter of
conscience with us to maintain Sc
renity of outward appearance at all

The First Female Novelist.

We hardly read Of a single au-
thoress during tile middle ages. In
those days female education was
almost entirely neglected, except in
rare instances. If women posses
sed talent they were compelled to
hide it. No female novelist worthy
of name appeared in England until
the reign Of George III. The lady
who first had the courage to brave
public opinion was Frances Burney,
the friend of Garrick and DR.. John
son. Miss Burney remained unmar-
ried until she was nearly forty
years ofage. Romance is then sup
posed to exercise less dominant
power, but she, nevertheless. had
the imprudence to espouse Monsieur
ld'Arblay. French refugee. whose
income consisted only Of a precious
annuity of flO0. The marriage
however, proved a very happy one

A siietle boyD aboutsfour or five
years old, was returning from
school one day. He bounded into the
house, exclaiming as he hung his
hat up in the entry: 'This is my
homel this is my home" "
A lady was then on visit to his
mother, and was sitting in the par
lor. She said to him:
"Willie, the house next door is
| just the same as this; suppose you
go in there and hang your hat up
in the lobby; wouldn't that be your
home as well as this?"
"No, ma'am," SAID Willie, very
earnestly, sit would mott
"Why not?" asked the lady.
"What makes this house our home

Willie had never thought of this
before. But after a moments pause
he ran up to his mother, and throw

said: ..... ....I,.t......,
Because my dear mother lives
here"
1t is the presence and company
of those we love which make our
earthly home; and it is just so with
our heavenly home-that home
which our dear Savior has gone to
prepare for the children of God.

Trust Children.

Never accuse a child of q fault un-
less you are certain he committed
it. -......-f. ............
Children should not be treated
with suspicion. We should act
toward them in this matter as we
feel we ought to act towards others
only with greater tenderness-not
less, as is usually done. We should
always put the best construction
possible upon their conduce; that is,
unless you are sure child is telling
a lie, and can prove it, do not show
the smallest hesitation in what he
says. Far better that you should be
deceived, than run the risk of show
ing a truthful child you do not trust
him. Your simplest trust may
make lying child truthful. Your
doubt of his truthfulness may make
truthful child a liar. .t ts.s,.
