We have our Pastors Assurance of these
Facts-The Word OF Ministers Taken ne
the Strongest ProOf-Persens Believe the
Pastor Before Any One Else In the
World.
There are no words so strong as those
spoken by the true minister of the Cos
pei. One knows and feels instinctively
that such words come from the heart
and are prompted only nv the earnest
purpose of doing good to humanity.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the
great influence with the public of tie
strong and ringing words of praise viii II
the eminent divine, the Rev. Q. d. r.
Meacham, gives the most wonderful of
medicines. DR.. Green's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. When he was run
down in health, weak in nerves, pros
trated in strength, and with his blood
badly impaired, he was restored to sound
and vigorous health by this marvellous
health remover.
Here are the exact facts in his own
words:
81 am very glad to say in regard to DR..
Greenes great remedy that when my
blood was badly impoverished by an old
scrofula humnr, and my nervous system
was greatly impaired, DR.. Greene's medi-
cine gave me wonderful relief.
"At the preset time my health is as
good as at any time in my life, and my
confidence in DR.. Greene's remedy is
constantly increasing.
REV. G. D. R. MEAcHAM,
Pastor Baptist Church, TOwnshend, vt.
Doubtless the same heartfelt sympathy
and great desire to see the sick made
we'll inspired the Rev. DR.. j. w. Walker,
Presiding Elder of the Methodist Church,
Fort Dodge, Ia, to also recommend DR..
Greenes Nervura blood and nerve RENE
dy to the sick ard suffering. He, too,
has used it himself; he, too, knows that
it cures. that it is sure to make the sick
we'll if they use it.
'I have given DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy fair test. and
am free to say that consider it rightly
named. have recommended its use to
several.

Tho Word "nnrnm. %

When we now speak of a buxom per-
son, we think Of such one as Mrs. Lu-
pin in MARTIN Chu2zlewit," a plump
middle aged, good looking, good ma
tured kind, agreeable woman. We do
not usually apply the term to thin
woman, or TO a young girl, or TO an old
woman. Assuredly we should never
think Of calling a man or a boy buxom
The word, however, once really meant
pliable OF flexible, and afterward obedi-
ent. 1t is the same as the Anglo-Saxon
bocsum. or TIE high German beugsam,
from beugen 60 bend), which root ap-
pears in bough and bou Qn all its mean

In the Salisbury Manual the woman
at the marriage service promised to be
"bonair" ld "buxom," which is ex-
planned in the margin TO mean meek and
obedient. We are hereby reminded ,f
Milton's line in the most beautiful of all
odes, 80 buxom, blithe and debonair. 3"
This original meaning of the word ap-
pears in Chaucer's Merchants Tale, !"
"For who can be so buxom as n wifes"
The word, IN its application, was not
limited to women. In "The Clerks
Tale" we are told Of men, "And they
with humble heart full buxomly." In

One Of the most remarkable finds OF
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that made at Paler-
mo, Sicily, in the year 1916, when an en-
tire skeleton Of unheard of proportions
was unearthed by some marble quarry
men. These mammoth remains meas-
ured exactly 81 feet from head to foot,
and o feet inches from point to point Of
the shoulders. A stone AK buried with
this old time giant may still be seen at
Palermo in section ~" of the ST. Isorent
museum. II is made of blush look
ing, fine grained bowlder. and appears to
be about feet inches long by foot
broad and o inches through in the thick
est place A musty, rusty looking tag
attached to the relic informs the visitor
that it weighs 52 pounds, but the general
verdict is that it could not weigh over
30 or 80 pounds.
The skeleton was burned by a mob in
the year 1862 during the prevalence Of
the black death at Palermo, the igno-
rant, superstitioug people believing that it
was connected in some mysterious way
with the death dealing distemper The
skull Of this giant, according to Able
Ferregus, twas largely excessive of the

now Corn Was Ground at ono rlmo.


The watermill is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas, the first trav-
eler from civilization TO Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds ON account of the eabsence Of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Quernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found IN the cyclic
pean underground dwellings of Scotland.
Their simplest form consists Of two thin
circular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and revolves ON n
wooden or metal pin inserted in the low
er one. The grinder dropped the grain
into the central hole with one hand, while
the other caused the upper stono to re-
volve by means Of a stick inserted in n
small hole near the edge
The laboriousness of this operation is
well illustrated by story told Of Colum-
ba. He was studying under st. Finnian,
and every night ON which it fell to his
lot to grind the corn with the querne he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the assistance of an angel in turning
the stone. Wilson thinks that at this
time dho early part Of the sixth century,
the querne was the only mill in use.
Large water mills We're introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland and
legal means had to be employed to rem
der their use compulsory. y.-Gentleman's
