We learn that the nose of Socrates was
not Greek, but such as Greek artists
usually assigned to satyrs. Occasional
ly, as in a beautiful group of a satyr
playing dice with a nymph on a bronze
mirror, they gave satyrs another kind of
nose. The noses of the ladies in the
Tanagra terra Gotta are of all agreeable
orders of nose, not necessarily Greek.
The chances are that the Greeks varied
as much as we do in their noses, while
the tradition of their art preferred the
conventional straight nose. In the same
way the kind of Romans who had their
portraits done on coins and gems were
just the sort of energetic, conquering
people who have Roman noses every
where, like William of Orange and the
Duke of Wellington.-London Saturday

Lemon Juice For rheumatism.

A little girl up on the west side was
to give a splendid birthday party one
day last month, but the day and the
presents arrived and found her in bed,
paralyzed with rheumatism. She is on
ly Z, and her parents and even the
family doctor thought it remarkable
and uncalled for malady. But the care
fully guarded only child suffered as ter
ribly as the most neglected little mortal
who had spent cold nights in the streets
and had invited the awful disease in
every way. Finally doctor was called
in, who, among other things. knows a
thing or two about infammatory rheu-
matism. He shifted at the array of lin
iments, pronounced them harmless
and prescribed lemon juice-lemon juice,
pure and simple-a wineglassful every
morning. The little girl is now well.
Here is another bit of medical advice.
If you are subject to rheumatism, don't
eat eggs.-Washington News.

FAITH AND REASON.

Two travellers started on tour
With trust and knowledge laden;
One was man with mighty brain,
And one gentle maiden
They joined their hands and vowed 10 Be
Companions for a season.
The gentle maiden's name was Faith,
The mighty mans was Reason.
He sought all knowledge from this wCVh
And every world a-near it;
All matter and all mind were his,
But hers was only spirit.
If any stars were missed from heaven
His telescope could find them;
But while he only found the stars
She found the God behind them
He sought for truth above, below,
All hidden things revealing;
She only sought it womanwise,
And found il in her feeling.
He said, This earth's rolling ball."
And so doth science prove it.
He but discovered that il moves,
She found the strings that move it
He reads with geologic eye
The record of the ages;
Unfolding strata, he translates
Earth's wonder written pages.
he digs around a mountain base
And measures with plummet:
She leaps it with a single bound
And stands upon the summit.
He brings TO light the secret force
In natures labyrinth lurking
And binds it to his onward car
To do his mighty working
He sends his message DER the earth
And down where sea gems glisten;
She sendeth hers to God himself,
Who bends his ear to listen.
All things in science, beauty, art,
In common they inherit;
But he has only clasped the form,
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth to forge key
To ope the gate of heaven
That key is in the maiden's heart,
And back its bolts are driven.
They part! Without her all is dark,
His knowledge vain and hollow,
For Faith has entered in with God,
Where Reason may not follow.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

A noble deed is step toward heaven
Self-conceit is harder to cure than
cancer.
We often pay the most for what We
need least.
To be careful is the true way to guard
against care.
If you haven't much you can double it
by being thankful.
We can all learn better by example
than We can by precept.
No man is fit for heaven as long as he
wants anybody else kept ont.
There are men who help the world the
most when they go out of it.
1t is far less dangerous to slip with
the foot than with the tongue
Sometimes our mistakes attract more
attention to us than our virtue.
Gratitude is the music of the heart
when its chords are swept by kindness.
There are men who starve their chill
dren to help the brewer fatteh his horses.
Love your enemies, and you won't
have any trouble about treating them
right.
Experience is trophy composed of
all the weapons we have been wounded
with.
If some people were straighter in their
walk there would be more power III
their talk.
Happiness consists not in possessing
much, but in being content with what
we possess.
One who is never busy never enjoys
rest, for rest implies relief from pre-
vious labor.
There are two sides to every question.
but every man believes that his side is
the right one.
People who wear loud clothes are
doing their best to make up for some
conscious lack.
He who studies books alone, will know
how things ought to be; and he who
studies men will know how things are.
cheerful heart is the richest of all
human treasures; for even gold shines
more brightly in the smiles Of the sun.

Giadstone's Perorations.

Perorations are Mr.. Gladstone's strong
est point. He may confuse his audience
with figures, overwhelm them with
words, but when the time comes for him
to round off his speech, and when his
voice, dropping in volume, takes on the
magnetic thrill that has helped to make
its owner power in England, then the
audience mentally rises to meet the or
ator. to the outgoing thrill comes back
an echoing answer of emotion, and the
great master of words sits down amid a
storm of applause.-St. James Gazette.

How L. Take a Turkish Bath.

1t is not unusual to hear complaints
that the Turkish bath has induced con
siderable depression, or even exhaustion
lasting perhaps several days, but the
cause of this is that proper precaution:
have not been taken by the bather. The
baths must be adapted to the strength Oi
the patient. The bather should not stay
too long in the hot chamber, and the
bracing process should be applied only 6
few seconds with water not very cold
Twenty minutes is long enough for most
persons to remain in the hot chamber
and a safe rule is to leave at the first
symptoms of faintness or fatigue.-Ex

An UpaxnIorable French Pit.

The wonderful pit of Creus de Souci
in France is situated in sheet of recent
basalt on the south side of the Puy de
Montchal. The opening is SO feet in di,

depth hole about 10 feet wide commu-
nicates with a hollow 70 feet deep, at
the bottom of which is stagnant pool
overladen with carbonic acid, which for

interior is a vast hollow, apparently
formed in the basalt when semifuid, by

Where Amethysts Are Found.

The shores of the picturesque basin Of
Minas, made famous by Longfellow's
poem "Evangeline," furnish many fine
specimens of the amethyst. After the
frosts of winter have broken and scaled
the face of the bluffs, then is the most
favorable time to hunt not only for the
amethyst, but for other minerals, such
as chalcedony, agate, malachite, calcite,
anolcine, apatite, natrolite, ETC., found
there in the debris at the foot of the
cliffs.-Minerals.

not all mind reading is telepathy.

lepathy as the ability of one mind to i'm
press or be impressed by another mind
