Macbeth's "pearl top" and
"pearl glass" lamp-chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on com
mon chimneys, just as the
work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer is right in saying
he can't afford to sell them at
the prices of common glass
chimneys.
And what will become OF
his chimney trade if his Chin
neys never break ? He is apt
to be wrong there. He can
afford to charge a fair price
and give new chimneys for all
that break in use.

The Disposition of tao Ring.

The disposition OF that sentimental
pledge, the engagement ring, has st last
been carried before the French courts. and
now we know to whom when its siynif-
cInce Is broken the token shall revert. In
the Mines court in France a recen; divorce
cise came up in which the wife claimed as
hers certain articles OF jcwclIy presented
u her before their marriage Prominent
among these was the engagement ring.
] he judges decided that not only is IA wom-
an entitled before the law 70 all those ar
ticles of value which lover hes seen fit to
present 70 her before marriage, but that
the ring offered for the purpose of recall
ing the engagement of two persons consti-
tutes the most personal and most irreSo-
cable of all souvenirs given in view of mar
rage" This is as it should be San Fran

AATH MA.

Nothingis a more distressing
sight than to see a strong man
suffering with the Asthma. 1t
is. emphatically, a fight for life
This was the case with A. J
Boylan, the we'll known grain
merchant in Peoria, Ill. He
had Asthma for twenty five
years about haf the time he
was incapacitat.d for work.
When the attack came upon
him he had to sit up days and
nights in an arm chair and in
hale the fumes of saltpeter over
burning Goals to Obtain a min
ute's relief. Every slight cold
and every change of tempera-
ture brought on his malady.
He saw before him an unen-
viable prospect of suffering all
his life. with no hope or pros
pect of relief. Finally one of
his neighbors recommended him
to try Reeds German Cough
and Kidney Cure. He listened
in scornful incredulity. He had
tried everything and nothing
did him good; but after sitting
up tao nights and fighting his
old enemy, who literally had
him by the throat, he tried a
bottle To use his own words.
ut went to the spot at once"
Mr.. Boylan took Two teaspoon
fuls, and in fifteen minutes he
did what he had not been able
to do before in fifteen years, he
lay down and enjoyed a sweet
and refreshing sleep of twelve
hours duration Since then he
has not suffered from Asthma.
When he feels ii coming on he
takes a dose of Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure and is
a we'll man. Any sufferer from
Asthma who will write to Mr..
A. J. Boylan, Peoria, III, will
not only have this statement en-
dorsed by the gentleman him
self, but he will take pleasure
in making it still more en-
phatic. To use his own words,

journalism.

II one is born for lawyer, preacher, doc
TOT, and 50 on, the same rule must apply tS
journalist. No doubt you can educate a
man to a certain line, but journalism,
means more than one line. 1t means being
able to lake hold Of any work, from polit-
ical editorials down to market reports. To
one seemingly born for the work everything
comes easy. To one who forces himself
into it the work is drudgery. In the last
twenty years have seen fifty college grad
uaies take hold and let go of journalism in
Detroit. During the same time a hundred
well known preachers. lawyers, doctors and
professors in the country at large have been
announced rs accepting journalism. Ican't
recall single instance where any one made
a reputation.-M Quad in Detroit Free
