Killed by Kindness

a lady was walking along the crowd
ed streets of a city when she saw a small
green bird flying YEARLY above the roar
and din Of traffic. 1t was so tired it
gradually lessened its fight and o
fell at her feet at the curbstone.
1t was some ones pet canary, escaped
from its cage. The lady picked it up
tenderly and carried it struggling and
exhausted into a drug store, where she
inquired II its owners were known. The
drug store people did not know. and she
borrowed a paper bag into which she
carefully placed the bird. Then leaving
her name ard address she took the bird
with her and went on her way.
She walked some distance to call on
some friends, and when she arrived at
the house set the paper bag on a table
and did not think Of it until greetings
were over. Then she called attention to
her find, but the little, bright plumaged
thing lay dead, she having never once
thought OF the necessity Of giving it air.
The closed paper bag had proved air
tight, and the bird was literally killed
by kindness. Detroit Free Press.

FOR COLDS AND LAGRlPPE
Use Kings Royal Germetuel

Wherever the test has been made there
is 70 questioning the fact that GermeIuer
will cure LaGrippe in all forms and at
al stages. Taken on the first symptoms
it will prevent a severe attack; taken
when the disease has you fast in its
clutches it will break its grasp; taken
after the disease has left you disabled it
will remove the effects.
Dr.. p. S. HENSON, Of Chicago, after
using one bottle, talks as follows:
AN almost fatal attack of LaGrippe,
last winter, left me with nasal catarrh
and such susceptibility to bronchial irri-
tatiOn that the slightest exposure would
develop it, and a very little effort in pub
lie speaking would result in a distressing
hoarseness, so that | had serious fears of
permanent disability.
Besides, | suffered with dyspeptic
troubles-nOtably what is popularity
known as ~'heart-burn,' from which |
found it difficult to obtain relief. | was
induced by a friend to try Kings Royal
Germetuer, and it gives me great pleas
ure to say that its effect has been as
magical as 'Koch's Lymph is reported
to be, which is also a germ destroyer
though taken in a different way.
"Catarrh, bronchial irritation and dys-
pepsia have all disappeared before one
bottle of Germetuer has been used.
zone Of my sons, who has long been a
sufferer from catarrh, has received like
signal relief from his old enemy"
A prominent physician of Atlanta, Ga,
after giving it a thorough trial OF attack
Of cold almost equal to LaGrippe, said
that he did not believe that Germetuer
would cure every thing, but he KNEW
that If yNnulH onra a had cold
In cases of feyers attending colds it

cannot furnish you, send direct to Kings
Royal Germetuer Co., Atlanta, Ga, and
the medicine will be sent, freight or ex-
press prepaid. Price 81 per bottle If a
preparation claiming to be Germetuer is
offered to you for less, you have reason
t O suspect that it is a cheat. Every family
should keep a bottle Of Germetuer on
hand for immediate use on the first symp-
toms Of disease.

MEMORIAL TREES.

Not far from the matrimonial bush Is
q row of mourning trees. In February,
1862, every member Of the royal family
planted a tree to perpetuate the memory
of the prince consort, who died in the
December just before. OF the eight
trees those Of the Prince Of Wales and
the Princess Alice have grown most
luxuriantly. A little distance away the
queen planted the parasol pine, which is
her memorial Of her husband.
In another place are the trees COM
memorating marriages-the trees OF the
Prince and Princess of Wales, of the
Duke and Duchess Of Edinburgh, of the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught, of the
Duke and Duchess Of Albany and Of the
Princess Beatrice and Henry of Batten-
berg. 1t is in the shade OF these trees,
whose foliage murmurs the memories OF
happy times, hat the queen likes to
take tea during the hot days OF August.
Now it is the new generation which is
taking it's urn at tree plantir in this
garden devoted to royal highneeses. The
children Of the Prince Of Wales and Of
the Duke of Edinburgh have the place
Of honor. But the invading family OF
Prussia casts not a little Of its shade
upon soil which should remain exclusive
~ for British. Although the children
of the queens daughters are not repre-
sented, the descent Of the Empress Fred
erick has taken root there. The Pr1n-
cess Victoria Of Prussia, her sister, the
Princess Sophia, and the Prince Waldo
mar, who died in 1879, have each a tree.
The collection lacks nothing but the trss

A Little Fatllerly Advice.

Elf ever you marry" said an old gen,
tleman to his son, "let it be a woman
who has judgment enoug to superintend
the getting of a meal, taste enough to
dress herself, pride enough to wash her
face, and sense enough to use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, whenever she
needs it." The experience of the aged has
shown the "Favorite Prescription" to be
the best for the cure of all female weak
nesses and arrangements. Good sense is
shown by using it whenever you feel
weak and debilitated. 1t will inyigorate
and cannot possibly do harm.

A Big Insect.

The biggest insect of its kind in the
world is the Hercules beetle Of South
America, which grows to be six inches
in length. 1t Is said, whether truthfully
or not, hat great numbers Of these
creatures are sometimes seen on the
mammaea tree, rasping the rnd from
the slender branches by working around
them with their horns until they cause
the juice to flow. This juice they drink
to i~ntoxication, and thus fall senseless
to the ground.-New York Journal.

4 HOUSE BUILT BY WALES.

In the little house arc preserved the
playthings Of the royal children. Each
Of the children had little carriages Of his
own, and all are here preserved with the
initials Of the owners names upon them.
The Duke Of Edinburgh was a jack Of
al trades. He vas q carpenter with his
older brother, a mason with his younger
brother, the Duke Of Connaught. The
miniature fortress they built together Is
still preserved in this same garden. I.
is made of stone and brick. and i. at
least strong enough to brave the seasons.
The princes worked under the Eyes Of
their father, who was trying to teach
them the art Of fertilization.
This fortress has undergone some as-
saults. The Primes Of Wales, having
his five sisters and the youngest Of his
brothers under his command, attacked
Connaught. Almost always the heir sp-
parent carried the parapet and drove the
two dukes into a casemate, where they
had plenty Of arms and whence hunger
alone conld dislodge them.
Nowadays the children of the Duchess
of Albany and Of the Princess Beatrice
attack and defend the fort which their
parents, their uncles and their aunts
have go often captured with great valor
after long and glorious sieges.
The day Of her oldest daughters wed
ding Victoria took a sprig of myrtle from
the brides bouquet and planted it in this
garden. 1t rooted itself so firmly that
now it is grown into a great bush. Every
time one of the grandchildren marries,
the myrtle bush at Osborne is called into
requisition.

A GARDEN OF A QUEEN.
VICTORIA Has ONE SPOT SACRED
FROM HER SUBJECTS.

England's Sovereign Has a Mania for
Planting Trees-A House That the
Prince Of Wales Built and In Which
Many Royal Children Have Played.
Queen Victoria considers herself really
at home in the private garden of Osborne
only. For in this little corner of the
Isle of Wight alone does the sovereign,
whose possessions cover ~one-seventh Of
the globe, have powers absolute. Else
where, and especially in the parks Of the
royal residences, she is under the re-
straint Of the officials Of a constitutional
monarchy.
The commissioner Of public buildings
and works treats the crown az an insti-
tuition of which the rights are strictly
limited. Her majesty cannot cut a tree
without the c~onsentOf the proper official.
To escape this vigilance the queen has
bought in the neighborhood Of her castle
at Osborne some acres Of ground where
she may have a gardener not subject to
changes Of administration. She has
even gone SO far as to disregard for once
her position of political impartiality and
chosen a former gardener Of Lord Bea-
constield, a man accustomed to the grow
ing of Tory flowers.
But any impruderces which he might
commit will not easily reach the public.
For while 1t is easy to get permission to
roam about the grounds Of the castle,
this little garden is carefully shut Off
from visitors. A correspondent of an
English paper recently had the good
fortune to get into the Swiss chalet,
which her majesty has made into a
family museum, and to walk about the
aisles Of trees where each tree commem-
CRATES an episode in the history Of the
royal house and recalls a day Of happi-
ness or sorrow.
A short distance from the entrance to
this private garden is a wooden play
house, built with their own hands by
the Prince Of Wales aud the Duke Of
Edinburgh in 1857. The heir to the
crown has missed his vocation. Hs
clearly had in him the making of a nota-
BILE carpenter. Even to the present day
the prince is very proud Of his work,
and whenever he visits Osborne he goes
straightway to see if the playhouse is
still standing. Not a nail has fallen,
not a plank has sprung. The house is as
solid as DIT first.
