Ny daughter Maud has used IIibbard's
Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters, for iniamma-
tory rheumatism. Her limbs were badly
swollen, and the poor girl was in terrible
agony. In the midst of the pain we wound
the Plasters about her limbs, and she became
Squiet and rested. The syrup corrected her
indigestion, cleansed the rheumatic poison
from her blood. Hibbard's Rheumatic syrup
and Plasters are remedies of great merit.

The flower she loves Of emerald grceu;"
But ours, this new land of the West,
What emblem blossom suits IL best?
No fragile mlrsling of the spring,
No dainty, garlcn-nnrturcd thing;
But clad in sunshine glad and strong,
Sclf-sown, upspringing from tho sod
And scattered widc and lasting long,
Is Rrcedom's flower, the Gollcn-Rod.
High on the mountain crag it blooms:
Tho salt wind shakes its yellow plumcs;
And with its countless flowers behold
The prairie CLEANS II SEA Of gold;
While lonely nook and sterile place
Grow lovely with its waving grace.
Free, free, We gather it at will,
And leave each roadside shining still
And brave its blossoms, hccding not
Though stornis beat wild, or suns burn hot
Alike 10 all its flowers belong;
Through nll tho lnnd it decks tho sod:
lt bids our hearts 'be glad; bo strong;"

A Novel CanaI.

A canal has just been constructed in
Belgium in which, instead of locks, tho
boats are hoistcd by elevators from one
level to another. The canal extends
from the coal region in the interior of
Belgium TO Brussels. Tho boats, which
measure about seventy tons, are towed at
the low level into IN immense tank with
gates, which is submerged in the canal.
The gates are then closed, and the tank,
which rests on the piston of a huge hy-
drauic elevator, is raised to the upper
level, when connection is made with tho
next section of the canal by means of
double gates, and the bout proceeds on
its way.-Me,o York IekeWQm.

Autumn had touched the mountain
and hillside into glorious beauty Of
brown and red. Then came winters
tagging footsteps, mcrcfully bearing the
exquisite white shroud Of snow to cover
up all signs of devastation and decay.
The season in the gay world was at its
height. Occasionally murmurs among
the debutantcs for its honors arose at the
fact that, though Miss Vincr's fifth win
ter, her former success paled in its most
cifulgcnt light. She and Lieutenant
Flectwcll constantly met. She almost
wished he might avoid her, but at their
first chance encounter he had approached
with Outstrctchcd hand.
"IIow charmingly you are looking,
Miss Viner," he had said. And all in
vain she had watched for trcmor in his
tone, or a shadow Of embarrassment in
his manner.

A Valuable Painting Bought for Song

Some people have luck. A friend of
mine bought MI old painting the other
day that he found hanging in the hall
way of n second hand dealers shop. The
dealer had owned it for some time, and
wanted to get rid Of it ms it was large
and in his way. My friend wet the cor
ncr of his handkerchief and rubbed lit
tie bit of the canvas. He saw enough to
want the picture and he got it for song.
After the wonderful Oliver had IRE
stored" it, my friend began n dance of
joy which is still going on. He has not
found out who painted the picture, and
he does not care. Its intrinsic merit is
all nc is interested in, and he is "cxpert"
enough to know that there is plenty of
that in it. A clergyman who saw the
picture at my friends house recognized
it at once ns having been purchased
forty years ago by u wealthy manufacture
or, of New York, who paid $4,000 for it
i'll Italy, where he got it from the pal

Monument to the Lost Cause.

Several weeks since a correspondent,
writing in these columns, suggested
that the Southern States, by indi-
vidual subscription, raised million
dollar fund with which to erect a
monument to the Lost Cause" We
gave the suggestion our Endorsement
at the time, and expressed the wish
that the press would discuss it. We
had heard nothing of it, however. I'M
til this week gentleman, who re-
quests us to withhold his name, vol
unteers subscription of 500. We
had intended to have the honored
place at the head of that list, but
since that is taken the Columbia
Herald Company wishes to appear
second, with the same amount oppo-
site its name.
States have erected monuments in
loving remembrance for the dead
heroes. OF these there is not one too
many. They tell the story of how
brave men died in defence of their
homes and fought to the death for a
hope and cause they knew was
forlorn. Is the cause less dear be-
cause 1t went down in defeat? And
shall a cause, baptized by the blood
of such heroes as these, have no monu-
ments to point generations yet unborn
back to the pages of history and
truth? Build it of marble that will
stand out against time and tell to
ages yet to come that those who
survived the struggle, and the des-
cendants Of those who never saw the
banner trail honored the cause as
its heroes, and honoring both, built
monuments to each.-Columbia Tenn

there were no railroads, passenger

the winter the cold was SO severe
that quite number of stage drivers
were frozen to death, In Abel there
was famine of fuel and it became a
serious question what the people
would do. After all ne coal and
wood was gone resort was had to
corn in the ear, which cost seven cents

see such a valuable food product

help for it. Coon river, whence wood
was usually brought to Abel, was
forty miles away, and the trip was
out of the question In the prevailing
temperature. Pretty soon, however
another difficulty arose. The corn
was gone. Then in their extremity
the people began burning their
houses. This was done by lot. For
instance, my next neighbor and 1

be burned. He lost, and so we dis

JULES FERRY is beginning to show his age.
An American who saw him recently in Paris

IT appears that the heroic self-sacrifce of
Father Damien is not absolutely unique. In
1878 Moravian missionary and his English
wife undertook the charge of leper hospital
for the South African Hottentots. In 1867
similar work was commenced at Jerusalem
and four Moravian missionaries are now de-
voted to this service. Both these leper hos
pitals are still in operation.
KING HUMBERT is something of wit. His
hair grew white almost of a sudden three years
ago. He is great smoker and fruit eater;
hardly touches meat, and drinks nothing but
little weak olaret and water. Coffee and tea
are forbidden beverages to him, as they excite
his nerves. When out shooting or maneuvering
with troops he seems to live mostly on bread,
apples and oranges His favorite amusement
is billiards; but he likes chess and whist, and
plays very good rubber.
