As statue of the whitest marble, she stood before him.
 As the prince stood wondering at the magic power of the apparently common place staff, courier approached in all haste with a message. from distant province governed by very dear friend of Prince Ali.
 The breathless messenger fell on his face before the prince, and after salaln- ing after the manner of the day and re- covering breath enough to speak, he begged the pardon of the prince for first exacting promise of secrecy in regard to the matter upon which he had been sent, it being his masters special order. In his anxiety the prince raised the hand that held the staff and placed it on the shoulder of the exhausted messenger, and he, too, was marble.
 AS the days went by the palace filled with strange images, and the possessor of the wonderful staff began to long for the supernatural donor. The possession of his gift began to be a weight, and each image added to the palace was a weight added to the burden of its ruler. Still the longed for visitor came not.
 At last, when the prince was almost driven to madness, his strange visitor again appeared. Before he could ask a question of the descendant of the great Mahmoud the staff was thrust into his hands and he was prayed by the memory of the great leader to restore to lifN the silent images that, instead of adorning cast gloom over the palace.
 ''Is that not beautiful?' asked the strange visitor, pointing to the figure ol the mischievous girl favorite. "Lool at the grace, tho smile almost bursting into laughter"
 "It is beautiful, most beautiful" an swered the prince, 'but her laugh would be to me more beautiful than all"
 "And that!' exclaimed the aged man to relate his message"
 "Most natural, most natural" sighed the prince, "but the unspoken message is locked in that marble breast"
 To several others the strange visitor drew the shrinking prince, and com mented on the peculiar beauty of each But the prince could not be diverted from the melancholy that possessed him
 "Take them away! Take them away!' exclaimed the prince. "Leavc my pal ace as it was and will be happy, per fectly happy!'
 "Be it as you say" answered the aget man, 'and profit by the lesson."
 There was a slight rustic ill the court of the palace, and when it passed al was as it had been; even the strange wis itor himself was gone.
 The palace of Prince Ali of Bagdac stood for ages as it was erected, excep this inscription over the main entrance

ABOVE RuBIEs.

Shall tell you a tale that was told to me When the roses blew crimson red, And the white laden boughs of the hawthorn Sifted blossoms upon my head? In the dusk and the hush of the twilight gray We wandered, my lover and I, Till we came to the tree, with it's breath of
 May, And fingered it's cool shade by. ..If 8 love that has lived since the years were
 ours
 Were to come to you now," said he, And lead you away from your childhood's
 bowers, Would you fear to trust it with me? For count you 8 woman above those gems That circle your neck with their glow; And because your true worth their light over-
 whelms, must ever be telling you so. "When catch a warm gleam from your soft
 brown eye,
 It holds me more closely than they; For know that your price above them is high, As the words of the Good Book say. Then flash through the darkness and sunlight
 of life,
 Fen more than those jewels to me, No name is more valued than that of a wife, '' And whispered ''yes,' under the tree. Nina Picton in Detroit Free Press.

FoR OVER FIFTY YEARs.-It has been said that skilful advertising will accom- plish wonders, and this is partly true, for it is no uncommon thing to see various nostrums achieve brief notoriety in this way. But they do not outlast the notices that herald them. Thus it is that the mercurial and potash remedies are con- stantly appearing before the public in new disguises. Advertising, however, will not account for the popularity that s. s. $. has enjoyed for fifty years, nor for the fact that it has become a household rem edy nor will advertising account for the thousands of testimonials that the people have given in it's behalf. Only the most substantial merit can account for the esti- nation in which this wonderful medicine is held.
