His Wife a Stranger.

Jotted down in my journal, written when
in England some years ago, find this story
-7hich was related to me as fact by
charming English woman, whom it would
be profanity to think capable of even the
shadow of an untruth.
This lady met down in Devonshire g
farmer we'll to do and about 65 years of
age, who at one time had been in her fa-
theirs employ.
81 hear, john" she said, shat you are
married again. Is it true?"
sit is parfackly true, me leddy," said the
old man.
''And who is your wife?"
ssWeel, Miss Florence" was the response,
while the farmer scratched his head with
the rim of his hat in perplexed sort of
way don't just know who the woman is"
Don't know herr" exclaimed the lady.

'Where did you meet her?"
.Aweel, miss. Ye see went one day to

We ought never to forget, even those of lis
who possess vigorous health, that we are wear
ing out-that the vital clock work. so to speak
must eventually run down. This, of course,
we cannot prevent, because it is in the ordinary
course of nature, but we may retard the toe
speedy arrival of decay by the use of an invig
GRANT which takes rank of every other-namely
Hos letters Stomch Bitters. This century has
not witnessed a parallel in success to this fam
GUS medicine, which not only sustains health by
promoting vigor, but oyercomes constipation
dyspepsia, chils and fever, nervousness
rheumatism and other dlsordered conditions Of
the system, fostered by weakness and an i'm
povefished condition OF the blood. The feeble
persons convalescing after exhausting disease
and the aged, derive infinite benefit from the
use OF this helpful and efficient tonic.

He Didn't Try 1t.

There is much in science and great deal
in medicine particularly that is not the re-
suit of actual experiment, but is taken for
granted. Much of the terror, in fact, at the
thought of dying is due to fear of the pain
which we imagine, for Done has returned
to describe the sensation that accompanies
dissolution.
This question came up before class in
one of the New York medical colleges
lately, and professor, who has been ac-
cused by his brethren of drawing on his
imagination for his facts, was asked by a
student what he thought the most pain
less form of death. With the promptness
of man entirely sure of his ground the
professor said:
1.-THE man who is killed by falling from
a great height has the most enjoyable time
irnaginable-tillh he stops
''If he could fall forever, it would be de-
ightful.
"He suffers no pain, he is not frozen with
terror, as is commonly supposed, yet he is
perfectly well aware of what is happening.

A Ready Wit,

Daniel Maxwell is Scotch Irishman,
and it is conceded by all who know him
that he is by all odds the best blacksmith
to be found in Luzerne county, Pa, or in
any of the counties roundabout. But Dan
iel, like many other good men, has his fail
Ings He drinks to excess at times
But for all his weakness the blacksmith
takes fairly good care of his family. which
consists of an estimable wife and two boys.
Daniel is a member, though I regret to
say not in the best of standing, of the
Presbyterian church.
The dominic takes great interest in
Daniel Maxwell, and that he is not cured
of his weakness is not for want of the good
mans persistent prayers
One day the dominic while out making
pastoral calls came upon Daniel sitting by
the road and refreshing himself from a
black bottle.
'sAh, Daniel" groaned the clergyman,
'if you keep on this way it'll kill you in
the end as it has killed many better men,"
Pm afraid it will" hiccoughed Daniel.
It'll down me in the end, but I'll down it
now while I have the strength" and he
took another swig.
'But, Daniel, my poor man, don't you
think this is bad way to bring up your
boys?"
Pm afraid it is, dominic" said Daniel,
with sad shake of the head.
What can you expect to make Of them
with drunken father"
This appeal was not lost on Daniel.
With genuine wit and the moisture of af-
lection in his gray eyes he said:
Il hope to make my boys what you can
never make yours, dominic"
What is that, Daniel?"
"Well, sir, hope to make them better
man than their father"

This is the queer name of a Chinese Laundry

Others may greater compass have, or power.

The Wonder and Admiration of All Wis
itors to the Fair.
When one speaks of vase the in
ference is that table ornament is
meant. This vase, however, is 10 feet
high, feet in diameter and weighs
nearly three tons, while its cash value
in France is $40, 1000. If sold to remain
in this country this will be increased
by the amount of the duty.
Large as is the vase, its lines are of
such grace that it's size is never clearly
apparent at distance. The vase is to
be seen in the French section in the
Liberal Arts building. 1t has been
given fine position, the location being
just south of the display of Gobelin
tapestries and Sevres wares, in the cen,
trail court of the exhibit.
The vase has been named "The
Poem of the Vine," its decorations
being symbolical of it's title. On a
broad base rests the body Of the vase.

gentle curve to the narrow neck. Hun
