The Imperturbable Nurse.

When woman looks upon bodily SUI
fering every day and all day, year after
year, it is impossible for her to be affected
in the same way at the thousandth specta-
Gle or scream of pain as she was at the
first. Those who live near loudly strik-
ing clock fail to notice it at last, though
their ears have not grown dull of hearing.
So the perpetual sight of sickness and
disease, especially when accompanied by
an effort to reprcss emotion, must blunt
the impulsiveness of sympathy. But, in
fact, the quietly perceptive eyes of tho
trained nurse are far moro likely to see
what is the mstter with the patient than
those of the keenest inexperienced specta-
tor, and she piaoidly spots" his needs,
which she relieves, while the other is sin
cerely profuse in his or her expressions OF
coincidence Real concern at the pain Of
another is apt to evaporate if the bottle OF
sympathy is allowed to remain uncorbed.
Thus the good nurse, checking the buh-

might speak to mine and tell me that you

Maud, my wife, my darlingp"
She started to her feet, with q wonder
ing, startled face There he stood, worn
and weary, changed from the man he had
been, but tho wife recognized him in an
instant For a moment a solemn awe
filled her eyes, and her lovo hcsitatcd and
trombled in the presence of a spirit from
the other world, but the next instant she
held him in her arms with a wild cry.
"Oh, Harry, my husbandl You are not
dead; you have come back to mep'
His passionate kisses on her face his
strong arms and throbbing heart answer
ed her as no words could have done. He
had come back to her from imprisonment
amid the wild western mountains, from
perils and dangers and death itself.
For awhile after she had heard his
story and fully assured herself that he was
really flesh and blood, and not a spirit, a9
she had first believed him, she lay quietly
weeping on his bosom. Then she arose,
with solemn tenderness in her eyes, and
leading him to the little couch drew aside
the curtains revealing the little faco,
flushed and dimplcd, in slumber, and the
small chubby fists fast clinched together.
Harry Mcrlino looked on without a
word; then, bending down, he kissed t
little sleeper with joy and thankfuln, ;
in his soul too deep for uttcrance.
And ON this stormy night, after weary
years Of imprisonment amid barbarot
hordes, after having endured trials or
hardships and almost death itself-this
was how Harry came home.-Pittsburg

AFTER FIVE YEARS.

"Six years today What long timew
sighed Maud Merlin, sinking into the low
seat by the window and pressing her sad
white face against the glass. "Ah, me, how
happy was, but it is all over 1 shall
never DO happy again"
Her dark eyes overlooked with tears,
and her memory went back to the old
home of her childhood, the great, ram
bling country house, with its spacious
rooms and blazing fires and large hearted
hospitality. She could sec the old garden,
with its winding borders and cool retreats,
and catch the sweet odor Of the pinks, and
the drowsy murmur of the bees, and there
was the woodbine arbor, beneath which she
and Harry had sat so often together. How
well she remembered one evening above
all others-an evening in royal June. The
air heavy with spicy odors and full
moon pouring down its clarifying light
upon the snowy pillows of orchard bloom,

Divers and Sharks.

We anchored little sloop about so feet
off from the wreck, and when all was
ready went down. When l got below
into the boiler room, saw looking out at
me from one Of the furnaces two eyes as
big as saucers l stepped to one side, and
out shot huge shark. AS he darted past
me he gave me flip with his tail and
knocked me 10 feet. That knock was not,
however, as bad as it may seem, for it's
easier to move objects under water than
above. myself could easily shove man
10 feet under water.
Divers often encounter sharks, and huge
fellows they seem too. But we don't take
much stock in them. The diver is usually
moving about, the escape valve gives a
ghrill whistling sound, and my experience
is that sharks, like other large fish, are
scared half out of their wits when we
divers appear upon the sccne.-Scribner's

Paine's celery compound should be
taken during the month of October. 1t

fully. Increased appetite and steady
gain in weight during the month will
show Enthusiastically the stimulating effect
of this remarkable nerve food. To those
who know anything of the working and
purpose of the nervous system it is evil
dent that the prompt feeding of the nerves
with Paine's celery compound must be
followed by decided gain in health and
vigor of the entire system. There is no
organ of the body that is not controlled
by the nerves.
1t is the putting off of attention to the
signs of heart weakness that fills the sta
tistics with overwhel lining numbers of
deaths from heart failure" Those who
at once build up their strength and
nourish the feeble nerve-centers with
Paine's celery compound, check weak
ness of that important organ as readily
as weakness of any other part of the body.
This greatest modern invigoratOr, dis
covered by the man whom Dartmouth
college is most proud to honor, Prof. Ed
ward E. Phelps, NJ. D., l. l.. D.,was wei
coined as a more than extraordinary step
in advance of anything before at the com
mand of physicians, for cnring rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, debility. Countless wo-
men, weak, thin, mere bundles of nerves,
and discouraged by their inability to
gain strength, have been started on the
sure road to recovery by Paine's celery
compound.
Physicians prescribe it the world over.
Get strong and well with Paine's eel
cry compound.
Here is the experience of Mrs. William
McCollom of Trenton, Mo-, who says:
81 have had neuralgia for eight or ten
years. began to think that eventually
it would cause my DEATH l would have
three or four awful attacks in a month,
and all the pain would settle in the base
of my brain, and extend down my back,
lasting several hours.
Zone thing is certain, and that is doc
tors could not do anything for me. Some
told me it was caused by nervous trouble,
some said it was female trouble, some
said one thing, some said another, but
thanks to your wonderful compound l
am free once more. l have often thought
that would write and tell You what a
relief it is to be free from pain, but l
neglected it from time to time. You
may believe that 1 shall always speak a
kind word for PaiGe's celery compound"

They Were Guying People on a Big Steam
ship When Something Happened.
Two impcrtinent sparrows met curl
Gus and untimcly death in the presence Of
an interested crowd few days ago. Ono
of the Cunard steamships was being
warped in to her dock while crowds of pcO-
pie on the pier and the vessel were chatting
at tho delay and slowness Of the tedious
process. A thick hawser fastened to q
capstan near the bow was being used in
the warping process and was stiff as q
pole under the tremendous strain.
Two sparrows who had been twittering
and chirping about the place fluttered out
to examine the hawser Evidently it was
a new perch stretched for their benefit
where it would afford good view Of both
boat and pier, they thought. They set
tied on it half way out. AT first the slight
vibration of the big rope caused them some
uneasiness, but they soon got over it and
fell to poking fun at the waiting people.
They would glance pcrtly first at the trav-
elers, then at tho eXpectant friends, and
then they would turn to each other and
chirp out impertinent, guying remarks
and twitter with glee until they nearly
foil off their perch.
In the very midst OF their enjoyment
something happened. There was mut1led
report, and the thick hawser parted like
thread just where the feathered jokers had
been standing, causing the dockmen to
run as one end came writhing toward
them like a snake. 1t was like the burst
of thunder sound in Mrs. Hemans' poem.
The birds-oh, where were they3 Two lit
tie fluffy punches of feathers rode the crest
of a ripple in the water and disappeared
under the pier.
Poor little thingsl 1t killed Them"
said lady on the pier.
Then new hawser took the place Of
the old, the big ship swung in, and every
body pushed forward to greet long absent
friends New York Sun.

Until we meet-until we meet
Once more-once more, my dear!
know Gods hills have greenest worth,
And thou hast made heaven of earthl
know the hooking birds sing sweet
Through all the summer night,
And fairy sounds of fairy feet
Fall through the dark and light.
But what is sweeter, love, to me
Than thy dear, tender steps could bep

Ayel red with crimson pain.
But still God knows his reddest rose
Hath kissed thy lips in twainI
And by Gods loftiest, lordliest grace
kissed that rose from thy dear facel

Mr.. Weber fabricated the Kitchen Fire,
Next time Deputy Sheriff Weber wants
to start the fire with kerosene he will
make sure he gets hold of the right can.
Weber lives in Blue Island, where the GUS
tom of lubricating fires prevails. When
the servant quit, day or SO ago, Weber
considered it his duty to start the kitchen
fire. Things went well until after the
rainstorm, but yesterday the fire wouldn't
burn. Going down stairs, Weber got the
coal oil can, poured liberal dose on the
wood and touched it off.
After he had crawled out from under
the sink and treasured the cat he proceed
ed to investigate results. The stovepipe
hung on the gas jet, and the teakettle mes
tied in the closet One of the stove lids
was in the front yard keeping the frying
pan company, and the canary's cage was
upside down. Weber thoughtfully stroked
his mustache, and it came off in his hand.
He couldn't raise his eyebrows in surprise,
because they weren't there. His wife
shrieked when he went to be pitied and
wanted to know what was the matter.
Weber said some one had loaded the stove,
and when he poured on kerosene it explod-
ed. Then he described the can.
''There was benzine in that" said his
wife.-Chicago Tribune.
