One of the first and longest steps of
progress toward intimate acquaintance
is made by the discovery of some point
of agreement No matter how small it
may be it serves to a certain extent.
Jones, who does not like butter, may
find that Brown has a similar distaste
for it. Immediately CLEAN of friend
ly recognition shoots from the eyes of
each. However slight and weak, there
is link of human sympathy between
them. They may even remember each
other, although they never meet again,
simply because neither likes butter.
Then, if it should transpire that there
are other points of agreement the de-
lighted surprise and confidence deepens;
Brown and Jones are cronies for life.
Or it may not be Brown and Jones,
it may be John and Arabella; then
more may come of it, as in the case of
the pair in the "Story of an African
Farm, wherein the lady asks the swain,
''Did you ever have convulsions when
you were a baby~ "Yes," said the
young man. Strange" said she; 81
had convulsions too; wonderful that
we should be so much aliker And
agreement progresses to matrimony.

German
Syrup

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
tion is a germ disease. In other
words, instead Of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
whi ich have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lnngs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so norrish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. .

All Around the House.

There is upon the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad, just below Con-
ewago. the connecting station of the
Lebanon railroad a house standing
near the broad steel belt, of which
every side can be seen when the land
scape slides by as the train speeds over
the rails. This is an historic old man
sion of stone, which has withstood the
winds and winters of century. Just
as the train turns the sharp curve be-
low Conewago station the eastern side
of the mansion looms into view. and
rs the distance narrOws the southern
walls and windows seem to turn to-
ward the eye.
In another instant, as the curve still
winds, the western end takes the place
of the southern. and while the iron
horse speeds on in its rapid passage the
train gives another turn and brings the
northern side of the house into plain
view. This is regarded as a curiosity
by railroad men, and though few of the
thousands who travel between the east
and the west know of this curious loca-
ton, it is always interesting to hear the
engineer talk through the noise and
rattle of the train to his fireman, telling
him for the thousandth time that that
ere crazy house is looming up before"

Later in the day she brought in the

The faculty of having ones mind
pigeon holed is of great value. Some
people have their mental bookcases and
storerooms piled up with a mass of ma
terial, all valuable, perhaps, in its way,
but jumbled up and piled together so
that when any one thing is wanted it
is not to be had without overhauling
ten times as much others material
which, however valuable it may be in
itself, has no particular use at the mo
ment of search. Other people can lay
their mental hands on any particular
fact or fancy at a moments notice, and
can keep on pulling out other facts and
fancies of the same general character
until they have told or found all they
know. There is such a thing as an EN-.
