tNcTf Hun VI tuc WOotAS,
To start let us see what KNELI
has got,
For at home here we will com
mence on the spot.
They look through the stock
and think it's immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full as it can be,
And how it pays here we really
can't see.
Now, really Mrs. Brown, / know
we cannot do better,
You see yourself the goods are
as represented to the letter;
But, really Mrs. Jones, | can't
decide just yet,
And before | shall purchase
want to see another set.
You've heard of the village on
the other side of the creek,
And there we will go at the end
of the week,
l don't object to have people
look round,
To see where the best goods for
the least money are found.
know that cannot be under
sold,
However, if | say so, they think
am bold;
l want to treat every one fair
and square,
In this way think will get
my due share.
My business is built up on prac-
teal experience,
And spiced from the start with
true perseverance;
Its hard to start without any
moley.
And those ww;ae have tried il
know it is not all honey:
The next week my customers
came back as expected,
Their tour of exploration they
had just perfected;
No where in these parts could
they do so well,
So they decided to come back
to G. G. KNELL.
They admitted that my styles
in every way did excel,
And there was more to select
from they could truly tell;
Nv stock entire was ahead of
any they had seen,
For though every store over
there they had been.
To sell them now was as easy
as rolling off a log,
For the skies had got clear and
they were out of the fog;
They concluded hereafter it was
useless to look around,
For right here in Rock Island
to buy they were bound.
Why carry the money away
from the town,
While all that is spent here
helps us all around;
We shall support home industry
every time if we ken,
For | make most my goods and
employ a number of men;
They all have to live and spend
their money right here,
And that is the way to keep the
machine in good gear.
Now in conclusion my friends,
Lust wish to say,
If you want Furniture and Car
pets just come this way;
And if perchance, l cannot suit
you,
There is no harm in seeing what
! can do.

Origin of Masonry.

A writer in recent number of the
Voice of Masonry upon the origin Of
the order, gives variety of views held
by high authority. but holds that it an
tedates the Christian era, or is, at least.
not Christian in It's inception. The
writer says: "The whole ritual OF
Masonry-blue masonry as we tecIlni-
cally call tin its system of words,
grips and signs, as well as It's tradition,
points to a nom Christian origin, and
most unequivocally is Judaistic in its
conception. Its hieroglyphio and
mnemonic records, its oral transmission,
its impressive manner of imparting in
struction and fixing valuable lessons.
and its thorough conservation TO law
and order, all go to show that it is not
modern in its origin and conception. 1
believe, then, in the antiquity of Mason
ny that it was once specially Egyptian
in its character; that subsequently it
was purified by Solomon, perhaps, and
by him consecrated to the noblest pur-
poses; that, becoming then the heritage
of the Israelites, it assumed its un-
doubted Hebraic character; that it has
been largely modified by successive
generations and nations; that in the
lapse of ages it became, under the
Providence of God, the inheritance of
the Anglo Saxon race, who, after per-
petuating it for centuries as they re-
ceived it, finally, under the inspiration
of genius, following the example of
others, remodeled and reconsecrated it,
giving it its Christian character, and
yet, in the broadness of its charity and
the glory of its philanthropy, not ex-
Guiding anyone who, believing in the
true God, has the other necessary quail
fcations for information.

Diabetes.

The chief characteristic of this disease
is an abnormal amount of sugar in the
blood The cause of it is quite uncer-
tain. According to Flint, it occurs in
the vast majority of cases between the
ages of thirty and fifty, in men oftener
than in women. 1t may exist a long
time before it is noticed, snd then con-
tinue years before proving fatal. II
often gives fatal issue to otherwise
mild diseases. Its chief test Is large
per centage of sugar in the water, the
quantity of the latter, also, generally,
not always, being increased
Among the earlier symptoms are great
thirst, a strong appetite, dryness of the
mouth and acid saliva; later, emaciation,
mere asing muscular feebleness, and in
many cases irritability, melancholy and
mental weakness. To arrest it, it must
be taken in its early stages One-third
or more of its cases end In consump-
ton.
A diabetic patient, when the disease
has become confirmed, is liable to
sudden death. The heart may fail from
paralysis of its nerves; or, the blood
poison affecting the brain, the person
may sink into state of insensibility,
delirium and coma fatal lethargy). A
slight cold may bring on this result.
Sc may mere constipation and undue
physical exertion, mental emotion, or
anxiety.
Flint says, "The disease seems less
formidable than heretofore, provided
proper treatment be adopted and per-
sisted in" The main thing is TO arrange
for the patient diet which excludes,
as far as possible, sugar and starch,
and induce him rigidly to continue it.
while cutting off so many articles of the
ordinary diet, pains must pc taken to
supply their place with others sufficient
ly nutritious and appetizing. Gluten
bread may take the place of common
wheat bread. 1t contains only one
third as much starch as that made from
entire wheat, and is acceptable to the
taste.
The body should be carefully pro-
tected against the influence of atmos-
pheric changes. and the skin be kept
IN a good condition. There should be
exercise in the open air, but it should
be moderate. Mental relaxation and
recreation should be secured.-Youths

How to Write Well.

We believe that the whole Of this
method is mistake; that there is no
single system of nlecaniq1e for writing,
and that child belonging to the edu-
Gated classes would be taught much
better and more easily if, after being
once enabled to make and recognize
written letters, it were let alone, and
praised or chidden, not for its method,
but its result. Let the boy hold his pen
as he likes, and make his strokes as he
likes. and write at the pace he likes
hurry, of course, being discouraged
but insist strenuously and persist
emily that his copy shall be legi-
BILE, shall be clean, and shall ap-
proach the good copy set before him,
namely, a well-written letter, not a
rubbishy text on a single line, writ
ten as nobody but a writing-mastef
ever did or will write to the worlds end.
He will make q middle at first, but he
will soon make passable imitation OF his
copy, and ultimately develop char
acteristic and strong hand, which may be
bad or good, but will not be either
meaningless, undecided, or ilegible.
This hand will alter, of course, very
greatly as he grows older. 1t may alter
at IL, because it is at that age that
the range of the eye is fixed, and short
sight betrays itself and it will alter
at II, because then the system OF TAX
ing notes at lecture, which ruins most
hands, will have cramped and tenn
porarily spoiled the writing but the
character will form itself again, and
will never be deficient in clearness or
decision. The idea that it is to be
clear will have stamped itself, and con-
fidence will not have been destroyed by
worrying little rules about attitude
and angle and shape which the very
irritation of the pupils ought to con-
vince the teachers are, from some per-
sonal popularity, inapplcable. The lad
will write, as he does anything else tha.
he cares to do, as well as he can, and
with certain efficiency and speed. Al
most every letter he gets will give him
some assistance, and the masters re-
monstrances on his illegibihty will be
attended to like any other caution given
in the curriculum. =" Learning to

The Astor Millions.
New York Letter.

| New YORK Letter.
Another million or so of the Aston
money is about to be spent on large
office building. The location this time
is in Pine street, just off Broadway. A
few years ago one of the Astors put up
q costly building of this kind in Wall
street, between Broadway and Nassau
street, and it has paid pretty we'll. The
building in Pine street will back against
the costly Equitable Life structure,
which is to be enlarged pretty soon by
running through to Nassau street, and
taking in on Broadway building that
is now occupied rs one of the Delmonico
restaurants. Almost that whole block
bounded by Broadway, Nassau, Pine
and Cedar streets-will then belong to
the Astors and the Equitable Life. Pine
street has been for years the headquar-
tiers of the real estate brokers, and q
whole swarm of them will be turned
out on the 1st of May, when prepare
tions for putting up the new Aston
building will begin. The Astors are
still true to the family traditions in the
matter of investing their money. Near
ly all their accumulations go into real
estate. All their millions were made
in real estate and they still prefer that
kind of investment to any other. Wall
street never had any charm for them
and probably never will. A few years
ago they bought large track of land up
in Westchester County, with the expec-
tation that it will in time prove as good
an investment as some of those made
by the founder of the family when land
was as cheap on Murray Hill as 1T is in |
Westchester County now. They are not
a very brilliant family, but they have
full share OF solid Dutch sense"
