Microbe Killer
Dear Sir-I have been suffering for years
with complication of diseases which orig.
mated from diseased liver. l had dysen-
terry, bloody fax and internal tumors. 1
consulted some of the most eminent physi-
clans in the city and used their medicines
for long time without getting any relief,
was fatlly given up to die, when friend
advised me to try Microbe Killer. As the
last resort gave it trial, and the relief it
gave me was wonderful. When 1 COM
menced to take the Microbe Killer only
weighed eighty-siX pounds; my present
weight is one hundred and forty-six pounds
and am restored to my usual good health.

For the SPECTATOR.
IF WE COULD KNOW.
BY W. W. LONG.

II we could know. when loved ones sit beside
us,
Amid the bloom of golden summer ewes,
Of shadowad days when we shall sit alone.
Among the sad Past's dead and barren
sheaves,
II we could know. amid the joys ofltving,
How soon from it's sweet dream we must
awake.
nd into what dark paths our feet must wan
der,
And the tired heart no. break.
If we could know how soon the gentle voices
or our loved ones may into silence fall.
And pure, sweet lips we kiss to-day In glad
ness.
No more our names will call;
How closely would we hold them to our bo-
SONS.
And in our lives thered be no Knight have
been,"
II we had cherished them more tenderly-
Sweet lives that hold no pulse of life within.
We never know till life's briet day is over,
And passed away Is some sweet face so fair,
WHAT misery there lies In bleak remembrance
Filled with Its grave-stones everywhere.
Dear God we never know till from our clasp
Ing
We miss form that used to nestle there,
How In the beauty OF Loves summer,
An angel walked beside us unaware.

white hair grew longer and longer and tool
tho form ofsa mantle of what seemed like
woollen lace. 1t draped her completely,
and now she stood upright On little white
feet. The beautiful head was not that of a
deer, but Of a girl, an elf, a fairy lady,
| woman in form, superbuman in expression
| Lint-white locks under the fint.white veil,
the softest piDk on the pearliess cheek; fair
hands held the veil together over bosom
Of snow. No statue was ever dIaped more
beautifully. And it spoke, this strange
thing, whose lovelinsss frozs the blood in
the veins of Fergus, while it seemed to
thrill that of his brother with delight and
admiration.
"Oh, dearest of men," it said. sit was
no doe that followed you in the forests and
lay at your feet in the hut, but a woman
that loved you-a fairy princess, but no
less a woman. Allan MacQuill. remember
the curse upon your house. You cannot
wed an earthly woman, but come with me,
and your fairy bride will bring you only
good aud happiness. Deep in the cave
yonder the gates of the land of beauty
open. This water pours from the river on
which our fairy boats foat. 1t is para
disc, and it will last forever, for fairies do
not die or grow old, and all our magic in
duonOO Will hchO you oAO VA ues OouO !
Come! Come!
She took Allan's hand, and Fergus heard
him say:
"Beautiful creature, l adore you.
should follow you if you led me to death
and destruction. But what more could
man wish for than life with thee?'
They turned to 60, but at this instant
Fergus spraDg forward. He seized his
brothers. other hand.
"Allanr' he cried. "Allan! Come to
your senses! Go not with this evil thing
Beautiful, but accursed! A fairy! A witch!
Come back, Allan, to your brotber!'
sCome with US, brother" cried Allan.
But the white woman, STOPPING with a
laugh, picked up little white pebble and
flung it playfully at Fergus.
''Go back to your hunters and your
stagsl'' she cried.
The little pebble struck Fergus on the
throat, and was mere nothing-a thing
that babe might cast harmlessly at an
other-buG he felt as though it dealt him
death. Powerless to move, he watched the
white woman lead his brother into the
cavern, and her laugh mingled with the
splash of water.
Later his friends found him lying On the
earth, dying of that tiny wound from tiny
pebble. He lived only long enough to tell
the story.
Of Allan nothing more was ever seen,
and 30 the old family of MacQuill came to
an end, and the house passed to strangers.

Secretary Noble has made friends for
himself in California. and deserves the
thanks ofeSery American possessing either
pride in his country's greatness or a love
of nature, by withdrawing from entry the
tracts OF and in the SierrRs covered with
sequoia groves, the big trees Of the middle
coast. The design is TO haye congress set
them apart AS a permanent reservation,
that the trees may be preserved for all
time or until nature works their ruin.
California is fortunate that her great
trees are in clusters. Washington has her
monarchs and grand ones. but they are to
an extent isolated, aud 1t will be more diff
lcult to keep them from spoliation. What
can be done to that end should be done, II
1t is nothing more than the exercise Of the
moral influence OF zach community to pre-
vent the owner OF a big tree from destroy
ing it. The owner in law should regard
himself in truth as only a trustee for the
people, for the coming generations as well
as this, and not sacrifice one Of the glories
Of a great state for the comparatively tri-
ding profit to be made by sending It TO the

A student at one of our colleges on COM
nencement day pointed out to a visitor n
row Of young men sitting apart. Those
are our honor men," he said. The rest Of
us are OF no account. We won nc prizes"
The head OF a famous school in New Eng
land once frankly said; 81 confess that the
school is intended for lads of exceptional
ability. We have no place for dull boys"
Here are two different views Of the ques-
tion. and between them both the boy OF
average talent falls to the ground. Yet
nine-tenths OF the students In our schools
are not honor men"
School contests are frequently cruel; the
defeated majority are too often made to
feel that they are inferior in their class, and
will be so in the world.
They should remember that the prize or
honor Is a mere side issue of the subject;
so is the success OF their more able fellows.
They have taken their brains to school to
be trained as a workman sharpens his
tools before beginning the days labor.
Let them look 10 their own tools and their
sharpness. The condition of the brains or
tools Of their comrades does not concern
them.
They must consider. too, that outside OF
school there are prizes and honors 20 be
won in other fields han scholarship. Here
and there a man writes a book, or paints a
picture. or leads n political movement
with brilliant success, and becomes famous;
but the world is as much concerned to
know whether the slow, commonplace man
is honest and energetic; whether he is kind
10 his wife and family, generous to his
clerks, charitable in his Judgment. 1t is.
after all, he and his fellows who give cha
acter 20 a community or a race; who, in
the long run, fight the battles OF progress,
and sustain civilization and Christianity.
The boy in the middle OF his class has a
great work before him. Let him sharpen
his tools and make ready for it.-Youth's
Cnmnanfou
