Castoria.

"Castoria is an excellent medicine for chill
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me Of its
good effect upon their children
Dr.. G. g. OsoooD,
Lowell, Mass.
"Castoria is the best remedy for children OF
which am acquainted. hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtfu
agents down their threats, thereby sending
them to premature graves"

Another good specimen of the
language can be observed in the Song
of Simeon, or the "Nunc dimittis," SO
called from the first words of the
Latin version, of Luke 2: 80:
M 1attu Drottinn thjon thinn, eptir ord
hum thinum, fridhi fara;
Thviat min augu hafa sedh thitt hjalpradh
Thanh thu til reiddir fyrir augliti a1lra
thjodha,
Ljos til uppbirtingar heidhum thjodhun
Og til dyrdhar Trims folks Israel.
Now 1ettest thou, Lord, thy servant, after
thy word, in peace depart;
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou didst prepare before the face
of all peoples.
A light for lighting up the heather,
And for glory of thy people Israel.

The following stanza is a proverb-
ial saying from collection of "sagas"
or stories handed down by tradition,
about 700 years old. Such stanzas
are not uncommon, and sometimes
are rhymed:

Thviat ovist er at vita hvar ovinir sitja a

Which is, in word-for-word trans

Because unknown is to know where enc

Or we may freely render in this
way
Before you go forward
Make sure of the gate;
No telling where foemen

The ancient Egyptians were always
to be found in the market-place as
soon as it opened for the day. A
Greek teacher was once teaching a
group of youth in one of their cities
when the market-bell rang, and all
but one rushed away without cere-
mony. The teacher thanked his one
pupil for remaining, and said he felt
repaid if his teaching had greater
charms for even one than the market
bell. elias it rung already"9 hastily
echoed the pupil, and scampered
away to join his comrades.

baffied every effort of both the English

his own set; she was not, according to
report, even an English woman.
Nothing was known of her except that
she was young and very beautiful. The
county debated a little over the ques-
ton Of calling upon the fair unknown,
but some bold spirits set the example,
and the rest followed at discreet inter-
walls.
As the winter advanced, and it be-
came generally known that Lady Wal
den contemplated giving a grand ball,
the number of callers increased. and
great was the excitement when the
cards were sent out. Equally great
was the CONSERVATION when two days
before the great event was to have
taken place notices were sent round to
everybody announcing that there
would be no bail. What could it mean?
One or I'VE disappointed guests called
to inquire. and were informed that her
ladyship was not at home.
Indignation meetings were held
under the guise of t~ea-parties, and
many ingenious theories were pro-
pounded to account for the extraor-
binary circumstance.
The Waldens vouchsaied no explana-
ton, however, and greeted theirnumer-
Gus acquaintance as if nothing had hap
pened, although Lord Walden was OBJ
served to appear a little uncomfortable
when the subject was mentioned. and
appearedto regard the matter as a freak
OF his wife's which he could not alto
gether account for or understand.
Two or three months passed, and the
ball which did not come off had almost
ceased to be a topic of conversation,
when one day the whole COUNT y-side
was Mortified by the new that Lady
Walden had been found dead. The
circumstances were these: The Wal.
dens were dining out at a house some
distance off, and their butler had taken
advantage of their absence to take
himself off on his tricycle. to see some
friends who lived in the market town
some ten miles away.
About eleven o'clock the carriage
unexpectedly returned. and the foot
man who answered the bell was sur.
prised to find that only his mistress
had come back in it. She went straight
to her boudoir and ordered the footmar
to tell her maid to go to bed, as she
would not require her services that
night.
Between twelve and one the butler
returned. and seeing a light in the
boudoir went and listened at the door

CUPID IN GRAY.

She was .sprinkfIng the rose at the window

When the rostman came merrily over the
snow.
&c handed it up as she leaned from the sill,
With her eyes in a mist and her checks in a
Tie letter that came from her lover who
walked
BY the silvery seas in q land far away;
And she dimpled and smiled as she gathered a
rose
TO give to the postman-her Cupid in gray.
In the palest of blue-'twas his favorite shade
With an arrow of amber combining her curls,
And many fond looks at the little white hahd
"Aere glittered his circlet of garnets ana

She ans wered his letter-"I miss you so much,
dream of you, darling, by night and by DAY,
And ! eagerly watch for the postman, my dear.
He is handsome and tails our Cupid in

Oh, never before in the world, l am sure,
Was q rosebush SO faithfully tended each
morn
AS that in her window, and never before
Did such beautiful blossoms a rosebush
adorn.
Just the tint o. her c~heek-such delicate pink
Exhaiing sweet doors. and three TO a spray,
And so there was always a glance and a smile,
AND d rosebud in waiting for Cupid III gray.
Eut it CHANGED on a sudden the maiden grew
sad,
and she sighed 10 the rose and put off her blue
gown,
And she bound up her curls in the smoothest OF
braids,
And appeared like q Quakress, vested in
brown.
And the letters that went were not nearly SC
long,
And the letters that came on the window sill
lay
Neglected, unopened, forgotten, alas,
While she fingered to talk with her Cupid il

The rose had ceased blooming, and out in thu

The crocus came pushing its head through
the mold,
and the robin was counting his mate in tn,

And the skies were q glory of azure and gold
When the frail little circlet Of garnets ant

With a letter went over the watery way.

an understanding, and Durand left the
house, swearing to fulfill his threat.
The next morning Lady Walden is
found dead" The detective paused.
1t is curious" he observed, after a
brief silence, ''that SO clever a woman
should have so entirely lost her head.
One would have thought hat she could
have devised a way out of the difficult

Mr.. Hume took a few turns up and
down the room.

The funeral took place next day,
and shortly afterwards, Walden park

owner having gone abroad.

A Giving Drug.

Much has been heard of late OF
drugs, leavea of plants, etc, with the
property OF comforting upon mankind
the power to withstand fatigue. A
pastil which is said to take the place of
food and drink was lately tested on a
company of Roumanian soldiers who
completed a march of seventy.five miles
in twenty-seven hours, and whose sole
food during that time was in the form of
these pastils. First, each nan had a pas
til every hour, and later on three every
hour; at the same time the pastils dis
solved in a small quantity of water
were supplied to the horses which ac-
companied the troops. At the conclu-
sion of the march both men and officers
declared that they felt no fatigue
whatever, and spoke highly OF the sus-
tanning powers of the new prepara-
ton. The pastils are said to contain a
large quantity of caffeine Brandon

butler to bring lights.

the detective.

The butler did so, and Cory listened
attentively, taking down a few notes
as the recital proceeded. Then, hav-
ing dismissed the a he walked
round the roc and carefully examined
everything. The drawers of the writ

formed that Lord Walden had posses
sion of the keys.
There is no necessity to ask for
them" remarked Cory. "She was too
clever to leave papers about"
AS he spoke he took up the waste
paper basket and turned out the on
tents upon the table. There were a few
torn-up notes, and these he threw back
again. One little piece of blank white
paper he picked up and held toward
the light.
What do you make of that??' in
quired the vicar.

He turned over some of the books
and papers which lay upon the table.
Then he resumed, abruptly: Eleanor

of the gang of ~ss7indlers who have
eluded the vigilance of the police for
lsome years. About eighteen months

Just as the car of Russia and his
family were about to dine, at seven
o'clock on the evening of February II,
1886, a mine was exploded in the base
ment of the winter palace, below the
guard-room, which was situated imme-
diately below the dining-room. The
guard-room was demolished, ten SOL
diers were killed and forty-five
wounded. At the moment of the ex-
plosion there was no mi in the dining
room, but the car and Prince Alexan-
der. of Bulgaria, were about to enter
it through one door and the imperial
princesses were on the point of going
in through another door. The empress
was asleep in another part of the
palace and was not disturbed by the
shock. Investigation showed that the
mine had been filed with dynamite
and gun-cotton and the train was laid
to a cellar in an inner court, where a
battery, by which it was fred, was

The woodlawn Farmers Club.

The Woodlawn Farmers Club met at
the residence of A. w. Roberts on the
9th of May, President Harrison in the
chair. The minutes of last meeting
were read and approved.
The propriety Of introducing corn
husking machine in the neighborhood
was again suggested and from the COM
ments that followed favoring the propo
silion it would no doubt be well patron
lied. In the event of failure to secure
one, probably our nearness to Wash
irglon might enable us to secure the
services of Secretary Morton to help US
out of the difficulty.
President Harrison called attention
to recent article in the Country Gen
Heman in reference to the relations of
the corn and hog crop. There seems to
be no doubt but the scarcity of hogs
and pork will continue for at least two
wears when corn is 80 cts. a bushel. 1t is
estimated that pork will pay at 5 cents
per pound. Some one asked how to
eradicate plantain, and this opened up
an old sore. Several plans were spoken
of; one Of the surest seemed to be
moving it off several times year. The
practice of selling clover and other
seeds that were adulterated with foul
seed was severely commented upon, but
the idea seemed to prevail that plantain
would grow where no seed had been
sown-perhaps it will lay in the soil
number of years until conditions are
favorable for termination.
The question was asked what it was
worth to cut and bind wheat. The con-
census of opinion seemed to be about
$3.50 per acre.
Then the talk drifted into the subject
of the increase OF noxious insects and
the appearance of new ones in differ
ent parts of the country.
The spirit yarn spinning seemed to
come over US and stories of mosquitoes
boring holes in tin pans were told, and
about the chap who took refuge under
an iron pot TO escape the bills that
were presented-having a hammer
with him. As they ran their probes
through he clinched them on the inside
until finally enough were fastened so
that they flew away with it, and his
last state was worse than the first. (We
don't want it to be understood that this
occurred in the Woodlawn neighbor
hood.) After recovering from the ef-
feet OF the foregoing. some one suggest
ed again the value of wheat straw for
feed and additional evidence was given
in its favor.
The uncertainty of the extension Of
the electric railway beyond Mt. Yer
non was commented upon, and there
being no public road to reach,
the terminus at that place the commit
tee appointed at former meeting upon
this same subject, when the matter had
been postponed to await further deyel-
opment, was instructed to again tackle
the subject and try to do something to
relieve the chaotic condition of things.
In due time supper being announced
the club adjourned to meet at Huntley
Grange, the residence of Mrs. Pierson,
on June 24th. w. GILLINGHAM,
