Doing a Smart Thing,

A few days ago an eminent citizen OF
Detroit, or at least one eminent enough
to own a 81 umbrella, left the article in
q store on Gratiot street and some one
gobbled it. Eminent citizen was thor
oughly indignant, and he went to a de-
tective to see what could be done. As
there was no clue to pick up and follow
to success, the detective could do moth
ing. All of a sudden bright thought
occurred to the loser, and the next day
an advertisement appeared as follows:
The man who took that silk umbrel-
la from store on Gratiot street last
Thursday will save himself trouble bv
returning it, as he is known
Eminent citizen was chuckling over
his smartness when a man dressed like
a laborer and having an umbrella care
fully tied up in paper entered the of
fee and said:
$50 you knew me, eh?n
Yes, sir, was the prompt reply.
Somebody must have seen me take il

Areceipt was written and passed over,
and the man seemed so contrite that he
was handed a half dollar besides. Ii
was full day before the parcel was I'M
wrapped for a look at the umbrella,
and then eminent citizen kicked up q
row to alarm the whole building. The
umbrella was old, faded, broken and
worthless, and it was evidently put-up
job to take the smartness out of the man
who thought he had hitit.-DetroH Free

Something like S1Oo,000,00o is spent
every summer by American travellers
in Europe, the New York Maui thinks.
The amount spent every summer at the
New Jersey seaside resorts is by no
means Insignificant. One paper esti-
mates that the season receipts from
Long Beach to Long Branch inclusive
are not less than $S,000,000. and the
Philadelphia Press thinks S6,500,00 a
low estimate of the receipts from Long
Branch to Cape May; SO that the 3,000,-
900 inhabitants of New York, Philadel-
phia and Brooklyn pour out from S14. :

Jersey have huge task to supply fruit
and vegetables for the multitude of
pleasure-seekers, but it is noteworthy
fact that the greater part of their pro-
duce passes through the New York
market on its way to the seaside ho-

How to Secure Health.

1t seems strange that any one will
suffer from the many arrangements
brought on by an impure condition of
the blood when SoovILL's SARsAPARILLA
AND STIILINaIA, or Blood and Liver
Syrup will restore perfect health to the
physical organization. It is, indeed, q
strengthening syrup, pleasant to take,
and has often proven itself to be the best
Blood Purifisr ever discovered, effectu-
ally curing Scrofuls, Syphilitic disorders,
Weakness of the Kidneys, Erysipelas,
Malaria, all Nervous disorders and
Debility, Bilious Complaints and all
diseases indicating an impure condition
OF the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, Stomach,
etc. 1t corrects indigestion. A single
bottle will prove to you its merits as a
health remover, for it acts like charm,
especially when the complaint is of an
exhaustive nature, having tendency to
lessen the natural vigor of the brain and
nervous system.

A short, middle-aged colored man can

AT a recent session of the Concord
School of Philosophy, one of the pupils
inquired if the consciousness of the ego
was Identical with the acute absorption
actuality, and the Professor answered
that he thought it was. This is very
much to be regretted. It the conscious
ness Of the ego should somehow or
another get mixed up with the actuality
of the acute absorption, or the identical
should come in contract with the con-
seriousness of the actually so as to render
the absorption of the Identical indistinct
and incomprehensibl from the acuteness
of the ego, there might be fuss kick ed
up about it. One cannot be too clear on
these important points.

Quick Growth of Century Plant Stalks

In q. w. Garfeld's yard, north of
Napa. Cal, there are two century
plants growing and about to blossom.
They were transplanted from small pots
eleven years ago and are of immense
size. Only short time ago a stalk from
the center of each plant began to shoot
upward until now they are twenty-seven
and twenty-eight feet in hight respec-
lively. In one day one of these shoots
grew Line inches! From the tops of
these shafts the blossoms will soon ap-
pear and then the plant will die, never
to bloom again.

Card Playing.

That accomplished writer, the

Massachusetts, said:
II have all my days had card
playing community open to my OBJ
servation, and am yet TO be made
to believe that that which is the
universal resort of the starved in
soul and intellect, which has never
in any way linked to itself tender,
elevating or beautiful associations,
the tendency of which is to unduly
absorb the attention from more
weighty matters-can recommend
itself to the favor of Christ's discip-
les. The presence of culture and
genius may embellish, but it can
never dignity it."

How a Princess Won Her Crown.

ears ago, as story-tellers saw.
the prlncess Charlotte was born in
Streiltz, Germany. Now, although
a princess, she had her daily tasks.
and learned to read and write and
spell, and | have been told to mend
her own stockings too. She had a
wonderfully sweet voice and SO fine
was her singing that even HAYDN
praised her, but this did not make
her proud, nor vain of that gift the
good Father thought wise to bestow
upon her. The horrors of war the
young princess thought dreadful.
and her wise little brain pondered
Its wlckedness SO long that one
day she set herself to write letter
to a noble prince. She wrote it
beautifully using great care in dot
ting every . and crossing all her
is; for she had been taught to do
well her task, whatever it might
oe. Her maids said that it was a
favorable wind that bore it. Some
time after this, Princess Charlotte
and Others were chatting gaily in the
Strelitz Garden. In their happy
glrlish talk, some one asked merri
ly; Whom, think you, shall we
marry" and Princess Charlotte
laughed, "Guess who'll take such
little princess as Iam"
The English mail came in Just
then, and a letter for the lit
tie maiden. But you'll never think
who wrote it. Why, it was George
III. of England-you ali have heard
of him. What did he wish? A
queen to share his crown and
splendor, and to help make lighter
his cares. The letter that pleaded
peace is SO great blessing" won
a crown and kingdom. You have
read how long and wisely Queen
Charlotte reigned. None bore her
malice.-7he Pansy.

the queenliest of queens. Her ad.

tempered with womanly sympathy
for the cause. She mingled in al
the end a few words for the cause
of temperance, concluding with
these words:

Look After the Boys.

Almost invariably boys who
have been allowed to roam free at
night have come to moral shipwreck
and social destruction. The ex-
ceptions have been where there was
a wholesome temperament, strong
intellect, and peculiar social influ-
ence. Men and boys, women and
girls, feel that there is something
in the street at night different
from that which is in the day
something that excites apprehen-
sion, or creates alarm, or gives IL
cense. Boys that are demure by
day viii say things at night that
they would blush to utter in day.
light.
The result of our observation is
clear conviction that it is absolute
ly necessary that parents know ex-
actly where their children are from
shutdown to sunrise. No boy ought
to be allowed to go alone off the
pavement of his fathers house az
ter shutdown. 1t ought not be a
hard restriction; to a boy thus
trained from infancy it will not be-.

"Here you can see the picture of

to his father a little book contain
ing pictures and explanations. So
while Eddie's mother was setting
the tea-tab'e in order, his father
showed him the picture of a
healthy stomach and that of a
moderate drinkers stomach, and
then several pictures of stomachs
all covered with sores inside.
After supper, Eddie told his play

at 5 o'clock they attended the rail
road meeting and at 7 o'clock took
part in the services at the Roll
stone church. The pastor Rev. G.
R. w. Scott, gave them warm
welcome and referred to the work
as one in which the church was
deeply interested. E. A. Harris
referred to the length of services in
West Virginia, the people often re-
naming till II o'clock. The spea-
ker gave a sketch of the work in
which he and his co-laborers have
been engaged, commencing at Phil

work under great and peculiar diff

hope that every one present would
consecrate their time and talents to
the service of their Master.
