to have..a most charming damsel fall

seemed unaccountably embarrassed.

Why Inventors Fail.

An inventors knowledge of science
and the arts may only be theoretical,
or it may only be practical. 1t sell
dom is thorough in both respects.
But if an inventor has neither O.
practical nor a theoretical general
knowledge of the art he seeks to i'm
prove he will be apt to produce solu-
tions that will not command re-
spect. It is a fact, nevertheless, that
startling discoveries have been made
by tyros who occasionally have
stumbled on the solutions OF impor-
tant problems without in reality I'M
derstanding the problems at all.
The practical man generally finds O
solution of practical simplicity, while
the wholly theoretical man finds an
involved and ingenious, but imprac-
teal one. Inventions fall from q
number of causes. The solution may
be new, but inferior to that in use. It
may be new and right, but too ex-
pensive. 1t may be the best solution
in part and the worst in part-a most
common fault. 1t may be inopera.

of another persons machine, and
that other person will not pay for it,

What a Bad Digestion Does.

A doctor has been comparing the
state of mind of a man before dinner
and after dinner who suffers indiges-
ton. Before dinner the patients
thoughts are something of this kind
"What a jolly thing life is! How
grand it is to breath the pure air to
revel i'll the glorious sunshine, to laugh
and be merry! With friends all around,
a prosperous fortune before one, all
ones hopes and plans turn out well.
1t may safely be said that we live in a
good country, and that life is the most
enjoyable state imaginable.
But after dinner, when the salmon
and the cucumber AMI the lobster
salad have begun to do their deadly
work, the same man thinks sonnet thing
like this
Life is fraud. Those who say
life is worth living are humbugs. We
go about the world with heavy load
OF care, and from morning till night
our time is spent in battling with new
annoyances. Bills pour in on every
side, failure stares us in the face, every
cherished hope is dashed to the
ground. BAIL The whole thing is
humbug!"

Queer ood-parenta.

During the last century, and even at
the beginning OF the present one, a
strange custom existed at the baptism
of the infant scions of fashionable
Roman families. Instead of inviting
princes, dukes, and other noble lords
and ladies to serve as got parents, q
monk, beggar, or some male or female
pilgrim was requested to act, and the
infant was held in the arms of his
humble godfather or godmother. On
the goth of June, 1882. the little
daughter of the Princess Colonna was
held, tenuta, at the baptismal font by
a poor female pilgrim. Soon after q
beggar woman, whose "station" was
at Che Church of San Marcello, became
the godmother of the infant daughter
of Princess Barberini; in theyear / 785
beggar "held" the son of Prince Ros-
poll, and was lavishly rewarded, for
he received as guerdon free mainten-
ance to the end of his life. The Car
melite monk Fra Ella was often invit-
ed to act as godfather, in turn for
which his monastery obtained large
gifts, and crowds of people focked to
witness the ceremony whenever this
mendicant friar discharged this duty
amid dukes and princes.

The Pastor Issues a Notice.

The pastor of a Congregational
church of SomerviIle, Mass. distributes
q neat printed sheet containing tho
church notices, in the pews, in lieu of
reading them. This was one OF the
recent notices: at may not be map
propriate to call attention of the
audience to the bad habit they have
fallen into of watching people who
come in late, especially those who
have new clothes. These late corners
are modest people, and it must be
serious annoyance to have their
raiment subject of remark. They
wear it unconsciously, and prefer that
you would not notice them. The
Sunday services are at 1870, and at
7:3O, for the benefit of all who desire to
spend an hour in worship; but for all
those who have recently visited the
tailor and milliner and dressmaker,
the morning service begins anywhere
from 1870 to IL, and the evening
service 7:5O. For the benefit OF the
very tardy ones the announcement is
hereby made that the benediction will
be the only portion of the service in
which they are respectfully invited to
participate. New York Tribune.

A MIS- SING CENT,

A Puzzltng Problem Which Is Agita-
ting Maine City.
The following mathematical prob
lem is disturbing the sleep of many of
our citizens, says the Portland Argus.
A and B are itinerant apple mer-
chants. They each started out in the
morning with thirty apples. A sold
his at the rate of three for cent. B
sold his at therate of two for cent.
Consequently their receipts were, A,
Is cents, B ten cents; gross receipts
25 cents. One day A was sick and
unable to go his rounds, so B took
the whole sixty apples and started
out to sell them.
He figured for q while on the price
he should charge, and decided by add
ing his own and his partners price to-
gether, to sell five for two cents. He
disposed of his apples, but when he
came to figure up, his cash proved he
had only "a cents instead of the 25
as on the previous day. What be-
came of the other cent is the question
now before the house for discussion.

SION"
After this successful and comiirmatory in
vestigationn New York, ourreporter Satur-
day April 2nd, 1892, visited st. Peters Hos
pital, in Albany, corner ofAlbany and Fer
ry streets. He had courteous reception
by Sister Mary Philomena, tho sister
superior of st. Peters hospital, and when
told the object of his visit, said she remem-
bered the case of poor Mr.. QUAINT very
distinctly. Said she: 1T was q very dis
tressing case and excited my sympathies
much Poor fellow he couldn't be cured
and had to so home in terrible condition
of helplessness and suffering" The house
physician, on consulting the records of St.
Peters hospital, said he found only that
Charles A. QUAINT entered the hospital
March 14h, 1890, was treated by DIR. Henry
Hun, assisted by DIR. Van Derveer who
was then, 1890, ut the head of the hospital,
and that his case being deemed not possible
of cure he lett the hospital and was taken
to his home, as he supposed to die.
Such is the iull history Of this most re-
markable case OF successful recovery from
a heretofore supposed incurable disease,
and after all the doctors had given him up,
by the simple use of DR., Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Truly it is an inter-
esting story OF most miraculous cure of a
dreadful disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
A further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood but are
scientific preparation successfully used in
general practice TOR many years before be-
ing offered to the public generally They
contain in a condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood, and restore
shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, ST. Vitus
dance, sciatica neuralgia, rheumatism, ner-
vous headache, the after effects of la grippe,
palpi tation of theheart. pale and saIlow
compilations, that tired feeling resulting
from nervous prostration; all diseases de-
pending upon itiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also specific for troubles pecu-
liar to females, such as suppressions, ir-
Irregularities, and all forms Of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the
glow of health to pale or sallow checks.
In the case of men they effect radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry,
over-work or excuses of whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Brockville,
Ontario and Morristown, N. Y, and are
sold in boxes, never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred, at 50 cents box, or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold
makes a course of treatment comparatively
inexpensive as compared with other remed.
