Life is one constant battle against
that dread monster, Disease. F."
Many succumb prematurely to this
vicious assailant. whose eternal
object is to tear down, wear out and
destroy. A want of energy, want
of stamina, a want of repellant act
ivety on the part of thoughtless in
dividuals causes many to become
easy and apparently willing prey
to this ruin and devastation of
mankind. A remedy composed of
proper herbs and roots that will
build up, repair and strengthen the
weak portions OF. the human system,
should assidious1y be taken at the
approach of disease. Don't wait for
him to obtain a foot-hold, don't wait
until he becomes your master. Meet
his attack at once and promptly.

which you can place safe reliance in
such times of emergency. Then re-
member that DIX. GtYsOiT'S YELLOW

Pleasant Things.

A %well-known journalists recently
advised all boys and girls to begin at
once keeping r apbookin which they
should set down descriptions of any
note worthy place or scene which
comes in their way; also accounts OF
any remarkable person whom they
met, with their photographs, or little
personal details.
"In thirty years he says, "such {
book will be invaluable to the owner,
especially if he be a journalist or liter
airy man."
The most trihing details in such a
book as Pepy's Diary or the Memoirs
of Madame de Remusat, are read now
with keen interest, as they make flesh
and blood of historical characters
who else would be but shadows to US.
There are other habits which boys
and girls can cultivate that will be OF
incalculable use to them hereafter.
Frederick Robertson made il a rule,
at ten years of age, to commit one or
two verses of Sculpture to memory
every morning, while he was dressing,
and kept itup all his life. 1t became
the daily bread of life to him in his
years OF suffei. ing. Benjamin Franklin
counted that day lost in which he had
not mastered n sentence in a foreign
tongue.
The Germans observe all birthdays
and other anniversaries in the family,

and speaking-tubes, and, for aught |
know, sa~fety-valves and submarine
cables. But the GROWING JOY OF all
was the fact that no children were al.
lowed within itswalls. 1t was built Tor
the accommodation of childless coup

the suites let How great was the quiet
and calm of that sheltered retreat,

couples; and yet, so weak is humanity,
that before the end Of the second year
there were children in seven of the ten

owner OF the building complained to
his friends of the unfair treatment he
he had received at the hands OF his
tenants they all laughed in his face
