Children over six Hundred Years Ago.

ChiiQren over AeaEs aSos
Somebody has unearthed book writ
ten by Bartholomew Anglicus about
1860, of which one of the most amusing
chapters is on the children of his day.
Of these he writes: They dread no
perils more than beating with rod, and
they love an apple more than gold and
make more sorrow and woe for the loss
of an apple than for the loss of heri-
tage They desire all that they see and
pray and ask with voice and with hand
They keep no counsel, but they tell all
that they hear and see. Suddenly they
laugh, and suddenly they weep. Always
they cry and jangle and jape; that I'M
meth they be still while they sleep. When
they be washed of filth, anon they defile
themselves again. When their mother
washeth and combeth them, they kick
and sprawl and put with feet and with
hands, and withstand with all their
might" All of which sounds very mod
ern and up to date.

A Grant Sensation.

Pain is a sensation-heai; is more the lack Of it.
This fact is often overlooked by sick people, who
demand first of all that remedy shall produce a
great sensation. This fact often initiates against
the trial OF Drs. Starkey & Palen's Compound Oxy
gen. When people learn that its base is the mir we
breathe, and that it is introduced TO the system
like common air through the lungs land unlike
common medicine through the stomach, they are
skeptcal. Nevertheless, over $4,000 people have
concluded that what keeps US alive is able, when
greatly enriched with ozone to make US more
alive; !. e., restore the weakened system. They
have therefore been led to try the simple means
and have found the blessed result. This is the
best sensation of all. Who are they? Where are

drove them in on the rush to Greenevlle.
Morgan was killed in Mrs. Williamss vineyard

was first made known she bravely offered her
