them in that particular direction.
But as a reliable sTOMACHIC, NERVE tonic

without the slightest hesitation, that we have
Jointly derived GREAT salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almosta network of open
trenches, emitting unhealthy and noxious
vapors, our SENIOR used the waters most sue
cessfuliy in overcoming an attack of malaria a. ia
and in warding off other ysitatlons OF that
most persistent aiment, and Mr.. Hummel de-
clares emphatically that there is NOTHING to
equal Campbell's Waters, when one realizes
the necessity of quilting ones self together"
We know "Whereof we WRITE" so please ac-

regarding the wonderful waters bearing your

Stone-LiIies.

olive Inofne, lii 1ouhg ldeal
What do you suppose stone-lily
is? A lily cut out of stone? No; it
is flower that grows in the bottom
of the sea on long stem that shakes
and waves about in the water. Strang-
est of all, the beautiful flower is alive
and actually eats!
Sometimes there are several on q
branch, exactly as flowers grow on
land. The root fastens to the rock,
and several branches spring from one
stem, each with its beautiful lily
shaped flower at the top.
These blossoms are really the body
of the animal, and the beautiful
feathery petals, looking SO innocent,
waving about in the water, are the
creatures arms. They wave about
in the water, not to look pretty but
to catch something to eat.
II tiny atom of fish, or other
sea animal, happens to touch this
lonely flower, instantly every feathery
petal closes over the victim, and stuffs
it into his mouth for he has mouth,
good big one, too, hidden among
the petals. Think of a lily with
mouth? Then when that morsel was
disposed of, in his roomy stomach,
you would see him spread his arms
again, looking as innocent as though
nothing had happened.
There's another droll thing about
these stone-lilies: having no fingers
or forks to pick out the bones, they
are obliged to swallow their food,
bones and all. But they don't like
bones in their stomach any better than
you do, so when the meat is all di-
gested they just open their mouth
and throw out what is left.
Such an arrangement might be
convenient for some children I've
seen, who do not seem to have time
to eat like other people, but swallow
their food whole, like the little stone
lily.
If the water around him is too
much disturbed, he folds his arms
and looks exactly like lily bud that
has never been opened.
All the family are not alike. Some
OF them seem to get tired of sitting
forever on a stem-as | should think
they woodland in old age start off
on their travels.
One, especially, that lives in the
Mediterranean. He is very lovely
creature, with ten feathery-like arms,
each as long as your finger. He is
purple, spotted with white. When
he gets restless and uneasy, as | said,
he just snaps himself away from his
stem and swins off. He looks like a
beautiful star floating about in the
water. Though he is now free, he
still lives at the bottom of the sea.
Men who study these creatures OF
the sea, and have arranged them into
families, have given another name to
this family and I'll tell you what it is,
though it is not half so pretty as
stone-lily, and | don't believe you'll
remember it minute. 1t is
"Crinode."

OUR KALEIDOSCOPE.

As far back as mans knowledge of the human
extends, it seems that the two great questions
his origin and his destiny, have ever claimed
prominent consideration.
Herodotus, who lived $50 years before Christ
and who the greatest traveller and writer of his
time relates that when he visited Egypt, he found
the wise men there discussing and disputing over
the origin of man. A certain Phrygian king, in
dispute with the Egyptians claimed that his race
was of the greatest antiquity. This, Egyptian
scholars denied, and the dispute waxed warm until
it was finally settled In the following manner
The Phrygian king took two infant children from
among his people, and placed them where they
were brought up without hearing human speech of
any kind until they had reached an age, that had
they been taught, they would have been speaking
their mother tongue fueutly.
AS ii was their first articuate utterance was the
word 6ekos, which turned out to be the Egyptian
ished the fact the satisfaction of the dispuants
at least that the Egyptians were the oldest people,
in fact the fathers of the human race.
This little dispute occurred, it must be remem-
bered, nearly $500 years ago. and yet the people of
that remote period knew no more concerning mans
origin, or his destiny, than do we of to-day
of us may dream and speculate but from whence
man came, and whittier his final destination, are
still and doubtless ever will be, enshrouded in i'm
penetrable mystery.
A notable event in art circles is the exhibition of
the collection of paintings by Vassi Verestchagin
the famous Russian painter, soldier and trav-
eler. The handsome and spacious galleries
of the Chicago Art Institute, always inter-
esting and attractive, have been doubly SO
since this collection has been placed upon
exhibition. The collection is large and embraces a
great variety of subjects The principal pieces are,
however, those representing the artists impress
sions of his travels in India in which included
some splendidly executed interiors. He has also
made study of in its various phases and these
he has transferred to canvas with wonderful skill
AS l not art critic, it would hardly be
proper for to attempta criticism of the works of
a painter renowned Verestchagin. l only
know that they are beautiful and interesting and
any who love art cannot fail to enjoy an afternoon
spent in looking at them.
Crime is often committed under extenuatiDg cir
cumstanoes. Perhaps it is not best to condone such
ofenses, but sometimes simple justice compels the
sympathy which is generally withheld from the
ordinary criminal Not long since q prominent
Chicago detective told me the following, which is
a case in point.
"The other day." he said, al was sent for by the
proprietor OF large store in this city. He told
me he had reasons to suspect one Of his clerks of
systematically robbing him, by making false cash
