from my heart the terror leapt to the heart

thus was the battle lost. Say, then, what

break this heavy news that Canidius bears !;
for Canidius himself dare not send And
when his grief is past do thou, Olympus,
soothe his fevered frame with thy draughts

and draw him back to me, and all will yet

Mrs. Disraeli was a pretty little wom-

than her husband. Mrs. Burke was
spoken of, even by her own sex, as all
that was beautiful and amiable among
women. But il was not beautiful face.
nor refined taste, nor mental culture that
gave these two women their wonderful
influence over the two statesmen The
secret of their power lay in their
thoughtful and intelligent sympathy.
Once Mrs. Drisraeli rode to the House
of Commons with her husband, when he
was expected to make q great speech.
On leaving the carriage he crushed her
fingers in closing the door. Without an

The millers Of the Ohio Valley com.
plain that by advertising the foreign mil.
lers take the "homo market" This Is
to say the foreigr mtllers make it appear
to the consumers OF flour that their pro.
duct is better than the produc! Of the
home millers. This simply shows the
advantage OF advertising, and our advice
to home milicrs is, employ this ''trick"
OF the foreign miller, and make it appear
that there is no good flour sold outside
OF the Ohio Valley. The home millers
also complain that ths consumer uses
foreign flour to the detriment OF the mar.
ke. for the home produc: under the false
impression that il is abetter article than
the home made flour, and they do not
believe this is fail to local industries, in
which there are large investments OF
capital and employment OF labor. AS to
this, we want 10 say that human nature
