Poor Humanity

The common lot is one Of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimists. they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would otherwise
be bright existence, is often Swallowed by
some ailment that overhangs It like pail,
obscuring perpetually the radiance that else
would light tho path. Such an ailment, and
avery common one, is nervousness. orin other
words, weakness OF the nervous system. con-
dltion only irremediable where inemctenL or
improper means are taken to relieve lt. Inc
concurrent experience OF nervous people VINO
Bitters is, that it oOnquers entirely superseni-
tiveness of the nerves, as well as diseases-so
called-which are invited and sustained Dy
their chronic weakness. As the nerves gain
stamina from the great tonic the trouble dis
appears. Use the Bitters for malaria, rheumas
tism, biliousness and kidney troubles.

SWIMMING FOR BOYS.

Il never would allow my boy to
learn to SWIM" said the mother of
an only son; and | never could
bear to have him in a boat. Skat-
ing | ALWAYS deteSted, and ball-plav-
ing | consider vulgar. He had a
horse for riding, and he was always
allowed to walk as much as he
chose" q
Her hearers understood why it was
that her son had grown up to be a
narrow-chested and delicate man,
and were thankful that he was per
mitted to 90 outdoors at all in his
boyhoOd.
Fortunately this young man had
possessed a strong love for walking,
and also for study. which had kept
him from hamilton, and also out of
mischief But for an active, full
blooded boy not decidedly studious,
such a bTinging-up as has been
described would have meant either
ruin or death
There Is no need to deScant upon
the manifold attractions and use of
swimming All proper precautions
for his safety should be taken, but
your boy should learn to swim
Never let him go into the water I'M
less he Is well; neither let him go
alone or with Eighty boys only, even
when he has mastered the art of ma
tatIon-cramps and accidents of all
sorts are too common for that
Keep him away from rapids and
whiripools, and impress upon him at
at every opportunity, by anecdote.

VERMONT MARBLE.

A recent issue of the Atlanta, Ga,
Journal contained lengthy article
on the various marble quarried
throughout the world and nOtwith-
standing marble is extensively quar-
ried in Georgia, it speaks in the fol
lowing complimentary terms of Yer
mont marble:
Italian marble was used in this
country for all purposes almost ex-
clusively until after the war, although
Vermont marble was known and
quarried since about 1880. 1t was,
in fact, supposed for a long time, that
the Vermont deposits were the only
ones III the United States. The Yer
mont quarries were, up to 1865, but
little developed because the owners
could not compete with the Italian
product, it having been conclusivelv
proven that finished and polished
shaft could be brought from Italy
and laid down I'm New York cheaper
than the Vermont men could furnish
the same article in the rough. But
since n heavy duty was placed on
foreign marble, the marble industry
has developed wonderfully, employ
ing many thousands of dollars
The Vermont deposits are the
most solid in the world and the
marble less defective than any other
Its color is a beautiful mottle, but ii
sometimes comes also in pure
white, which is principally used for
sculpture, and it is even so much
superior to the foreign article used
for that purpose that the most cele
brated European sculptors prefer il
and have it exported to them

CIVILIZATION INADEQUATE.

In 'Frazer's Magazine" appears a
story in which a South African chief
Is reported to have visited England,
and to have become to all appear
ance civilized, if not christianizcd
One day while discoursing to q de
lighted audience on the importance
of diffusing the blessings of civiliza-
ton and the gospel, the paper collar
he wore on his neck irritated him
Attempting to adjust it the button
hole broke, and he burst out with
the exclamation: AWAY with this
spurious civilization" and suiting
his action to his words, he tore off
his clothing, and stood before his
audience untrammelled by civilized
adornments. | have no means of
testing the truth of this story, but it
Is in perfect harmony with cases
which have come under my observa-
ton. The latest and most striking
instance, of the kind / will mention
About twenty-five years ago a Zulu
lad, named Palma, came to me for
instructions. He was uncOmmOnly
bright and inquisitive and | had
strong hopes that he would become
a useful man Tempted by some
boys who ran away from their
homes, he went to Durham, the sea-
port town of Natal, in search of
work. Soon after | heard that he
had gone aboard a ship bound for
London, and for nearly twenty
years nothing was heard from
him. One day young man
with Il foreign look, dressed in
IA
his shoulder, came to my door and
inquired, rs the clergyman at
home?" To my surprise, it was the
veritable Palma, who had returned
from his wanderings. We questioned
him eagerly, as he related his adven-
lures. Using the English language
flor he had almost forgotten his
OWN he told us of his travels in
Europe, Asia and America How
could you afford to see so much of
the world ?" He replied, Il have
hands, and am not afraid to work"
He told us of a visit he made to
Dean Stanley, who asked him, "why
did you leave Africa ?" His reply
was, ito better my condition, sir"
AS he left us for his heather home,
| cautioned him against the tempta-
tions which would assail him in his
fathers kraal, and he laughingly re-
piled, mo danger" Now comes the
sad part of this story. few weeks
after he reached home, he DOTTED all
his civilized clothing, and put on the
skins of wild animals, like his
heather relatives He chose a wife
from among the heathens, and is
IIVinsr with J4a
sire for civilizing influences. His
heart was not changed, alas! and
he is a heather still. Does not this
story teach us that civiiza ton alone
is inadequate to elevate barbarians?

Life Insurance ON
Business Principles.

The management of the National Life In
surance Company of Vermont has attained
enviable distinction for its ingenuity in
pany's policies have always appealed to
particularly well-informed class of applicants.
In addition to the bonds which it disposes of
in large numbers it issues an option policy
which undoubtedly is of the most desi-
rabe of insurance contracts 1t is claimed
for it that it provides for any emergency that
may arise
This is what the company contracts to do,
through the medium of this policy: 1t guar
antees annual cash value which after
certain period is in excess of all premiums
paid; it guarantees n paid-up policy for such
n sum the cash value will purchase, eX-
act amount being specified in the contract at
the time of issue and it guarantees extended
insurance for the full amount of policy for
long a time the cash value will pay for
Incidentally the policy will protect its holder
against adversely in business, and also make
an absolute provision in case of death for
wife, children, parents creditors. In these
days of low interest and unsafe investment
it is n safe and desirable Investment, guaran-
teeing that certain amount of money will
be accumulated in a specified time which the
purchaser can use at any age when he is more
likely to be dependent upon others than
Others upon him. Finally, the officers of the
National Life say that under this policy you
know exactly what you have, and if you
need your money more than insurance you
get it. Under this policy you have in
vestment, protection, and the of your
capital
