Why do physicians recommend Klein's Silver

they have prescribed them for their patients,

the way will be opened for the Board Of

The building shows up in handsome
shape, both internally and externally,
and the job is a very creditable one
alike to the contractors and the Board

Pittsburg Jail is immensely larger, and
therefore cost more money, but it

King Acting as a Clown.

The royal family of Spain was not a
little frightened the other Gay at the sud
den disappearance Of the boy King AL
phOnso. He had been playing in the
garden Of the hotel at Royat, where the
court is at present enjoying a summer
vacation. Suddenly the royal yOungster
was missed and neither cries nor opera
glasses could find him. The whole hotel
was in the hunt in no time, the police
and sOldiery were alarmed and the inhab-
itants Of the place lent their assistance so
vigorously as 10 cause an indescribable
confusion all about the locality. The
queen mother would certainly have had
fit Of Mysteries but for the well-known
fact that her remarkable seIf-possession
never suffers her to lose her presence of
mind. The search had lasted half an
hour when an inquisitive citizen went
into the Casino Theater and was greatly
astonished and delighted to see and hear
his little majesty going through per-
tormance on the stage. The little fellow
had found clowns costume, had dressed
himself as a clown and was actively re-
hearsing piece OF his own invention
and to his most perfect satisfaction. This
little escapade has gone far to win the
hearts of the Spaniards for the boy who
may some day be their ruler.

The statue Of Paul Neronese at the city
of Verona was mutilated by the nose be-
ing broken off. The City Council asked
the sculptor Cristain, who made the
statue, to repair the nose. He said he
could not make good job of it without
making new head to replace the mu-
tilated head, which he offered to do for
5000. The council decided that the city
could not afford so much money for a
broken stone nose, and called upon a
number Of other artists to mend the nose.
Cristain sent out declaration protesting
against any attempt to deface his work OF
art by putting on nose, because it could
not possibly be done well. All the
sculptors to whom the council applied
refused to undertake the job. For the
present, therefore, Paul Veronese will
continue noseless.

THE HEART,s SAD SONG.

There is an antique song, q quaint old tune,
Hidden within my heart, divinely sweet;
The theme Is OF a delicate conceit,
Vague and mysterious as some Northern
Rune,
A sound that DOniZetti in June
Night still have found, tender yet incom-
plete-
strain that spirits might alone repeat,
Or IarKS invisible that haunt the moon.
Whene'er its magic melody hear,
now calm with peace, now tremulOus with
dread,
picture TO my soul n face once dear;
Its graceful rhythm seems a faWn-like tread
PaSt signs return and gentle ghosts appear;
On Wondrous song! art thou that voice now
dead? Francis Saltus.

seized and lit his pipe and, being unable
to walk straight, he crawled to the moose.
put in his head and tried to hold himself
upright in it. But he had left the rope
too long and had to kneel down before
the rope could support him at all. He
gradually fell into drunken stupor and
hung so heavily on the rope that the
moose frightened and actually suffocated
him. When found he was quite dead.

We sat on the swing together;
At the end of the orchard close,
A hill with its budding heather
Like a purple dome arose.
On the heavily ivied chapel
The sun for the windows sought:
In the shadows of pear tree and apple
The daisies were crowded and caught.
And this was her thirteenth summer,
And l was as old as she;
But love is an early conner;
He came to her and me.

Till star peered half afraid,
And the chapel bell was ringing,
And the shadows were lost in shade!
