One day we hired 'montaria," manned by
eight Indians, and were rowed over to the
island. By the way, there are few things in
Para Of moro interest to the stranger than the
native craft OF the river. Vessels Of all sizes
and descriptions, from full-rigged schooner
down to shallop, are popularity called canoas,
but OF canoes, as we understand the word. there
are none. The montaria is most common, as
well as the most picturesque. II IL a sort of

ADVANTAGE OF THE BOUND HOUSE.
One special advantage Of the round house IL
that IL furnishes room for the SWINGING of

trouble Of going ashore to sleep, where they
would have to suspend their beds from the

Sweet singer of old England dear,

Sweet singer Of old England dear,
The island home afar!
The tidings sad today we hear
That thou art near the bar
The bar Of which you sung 80 well,
Though smooth or rough, we may not tell.
You would not have the surges rise,
The winds wall on the shore,
But all 80 calm beneath the skies,
When you are sailing DER
Brave voyageri to dream Of death
As peaceful a. an infants breath.
o singer dear-if thou mnst 90,
And launch across the bar,
May blessings, like soft breezes, now,
With not a cloud to mar
But wild the surges on the shore,
When they shall hear thy songs no more.
Fen now the troubled waters rise
Around thy classic home,
Where the sweet singer silent lies,
His songs no more TO come
As II he heard some heavenly strain
30 sweet, he could not sing again.
And - the wild pillows often swell
Upon peaceful strand,
Oftempest far away to tell,
With not cloud at hand
In this fair land 30 far away
The tide Of sorrow swells today.
But He in whom you trusted long,
The Father, Savior, dear
VINO touched thy heart to sing the song
That mortsls loved to hear

WOMEN At TRIALS.
WHY LADIES FLOCK 10 COURT.

A Clear Definition of the Causes
Which Make Women So Susceptible
to Emotion.
The New York Sun has an able editorial
in which IL seeks to show why some wome
love to attend sensational OF murder trials.
It says: women are not stirred at all by
many of the occurrences which agitate men
but when a case involving life and death
comes up. a tragic case, and more especially
when it has about it a mystery in which
woman is concerned, and a woman Of the
more refined society, they follow its course
with an intensity OF interest greater than
men feel. It is akin to the fascination
which fictitious tragedy on the stage has
for women and for women more than men.
1t is luxury for many good women TO
have their tenderesr feeling Of sympathy
aroused They enjoy goin gto funerals and
wiping away tears shed in unison with
those Of sorrowing relatives. The plays that
wiring the heart are more attractive for
them than the comedies that provoke mer-
riment. They delight in having their feel
ings reused to the highest pitch"
This is all undoubtedly true. but there is a
cause far back of ell this. Il Is a cause
which has its origin in the life and condition
is sickly her feelings are quickly aroused
and she suffers keenly. Thus is the real
actual cause of IL all. Women should not
suffer. They are designed by nature for
happiness not misery. And yet. too often (,
it Is continual suffering when there is a GER
tain relief. Read the experience of New
York lady.
Mrs. J. F. Beale, residing at 1868 Lexington
avenue, says: about six years ago sut-
fered from a severe attack of peritonitis
and general kidney troubles. Despite the
attendance of skilled physicians, my all
ments increased. finally decided to try
Warmers Safe Cure and purchased bottle.
This step was taken upon the advice of sew
eral friends who had been benefited by its
use. At this time the physicians stated
that another attack of my malady would
most assuredly prove fatal l took four
bottles of the Safe Cure, which entirely
CURED me. Whenever feel as though any
of the symptoms were returning | take a
dose and Immediately feel better. | now
feel as well as in my girlhood-and it is en-
tirely due to this remedy"
Is this an isolated experienced By no
means. It is precisely what hundreds of
other ladies have found true In their expe-
rience. 1t shows that If women continue to
suffer, if the trials of life weigh them down
when they should be joyful, they have
themselves only to blame. There is a
means OF relief, of restoration. IL Is pure.
il Is safe it is a woman's best friend By
its use she can be enabled to withstand the
ills of life and secure both health and hap
piness.
