Jealousy Is Not Love.

..ome one has asked whether true
love and jealousy can ever be as.
ISOLATED. DECIDEDLY not. Where
there is jealousy true love does not
exist, because to love truly you must
have perfect faith. Perfect love is
belief without doubt.
Some young people are under the
delusion that if their sweethearts are
Jealous of them they are so because
of their intense love for them, but
they will find out eventually, If they
marry, that it is only another name
for seltishness, as jealous people do
not stop to consider the feelings of
any one else. The are only worried
about the faneied hurt to themselves.
In the course OF lite you will see many
cases CT real IoYe, and some of fancied
love, and you will notice that the
ones most intensely jealous of their
partners were the easiest to console
after the departure from this weary
world.
Jealous persons are not only sus-
picious of your truth, but they carry
their disagreeableness into every
walk of life. They have no real faith
in love or anything else on earth.
On the other hand, where true love
is perfect on both sides, faith is
supreme and no matter what others
may say or do they can never see
wrong in each other.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufaetured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

A GRAVEYARD Curiosity,

One of the curiosities of West Lin
ton, Peebleshire, consisted in mar
BILE tombstone in the parish church
yard over the grave Of James Oswald
of Spittal, a property among the
PentIand Hills, now included in the
estate of NewhalL Oswald possessed
a hall table of marble, at which be
conducted his festivities He de-
sired that it might be used as the
monument over his grave, and with
this view caused an inscription in
Latin to be executed on the tablet by
way of epitapk, which came into use
sooner than was expected.
When going out to shoot ducks at
Slippertield Loeb, Mr.. Oswald was
accidentally shot by his servant, who
was walking behind him with his
gun. and he thus died while still a
young man in 1925. His widow, q
daughter of Russell of Kingseat fol-
lowed out his wishes by placing the
table over his grave. Subjoined is a
translation of the epitaph, including
the additions made to it by the be-
reaved wife.
ITO James Oswald of Spittal, her
deserving husband, this monument
was erected by Grizzel Russell, his
sorrowing wife.
This marble table, sitting at
which have often cultivated good
living (propitiated my tutelar gen.
ius), have desired to be placed over
me when dead. Stop, traveller, who
ever thou art; here thou mayest re-
cline and if the means are at hand
mayest enjoy this table as I formerly
did
eff thou dost. so in the right and
proper way thou wilt neither desc
crate the monument nor offend me.
Farewell.

This curious monument after fall
ing to ruin, ultimately disappeared
from the burying- ground, having, it
is said, been furtively carried off and
sold for it's value as block OF mar

The Battle of the Waves.

OF all the Swiss lakes the Lake Of
Lucerne has the most irregular shape,
it's many bays running north to south,
east to west. Owing to these wind
ings it is often exposed to violent
storms, bat while in one bay the
waters may be dashed into perfect
fury, in an adjoining bay not ripple
will disturb the surface.
Thus when q strong south wind
blows down the Bay Of UTi, the very
same wind, turned from its course BY
mountains, comes from the west
from the Bay of Buochs-
There is point, just opposite
Brunnen, where the two sets OF
waves meet. and then a terrific con-
test ensues for mastery. At such a
moment the spray is driven into
the air in vast sheets to height or
fifty feet or more.
While the battle RACES there may
be seen under the shelter OF the pro-
montory at Treib several Of the lake
steamers and a whole feet OF fishing
and small boats waiting for the tenn
pest to pass So violent Ia the

Here is story lately told by Hall
Game concerning Wilkie Collins:
1.-THE most successful character In
The Woman in White was not a
woman, but a man-Fosco, the fat
villain. When the book was pro-
duced everybody was talking about
the fat villain. While the author
was staying with his mother visitor
came The lady said to Collins:
s.sYou seem to have made q great
success with your Villain in THE
Woman in White" have read the
book. I have studied this villain,
but he is not half villain; you don't
know a real villain, and the next
time you want to do a villain come
to me. l am very close to ore; I
have got one constantly in my eye
In fact, it is my own husbandp
s,Wilkie Collins often told this
story, but withheld the name of the
lady, 1t was the wife OF Sir Edward

LIGHT IN rye SICK ROOM.
Oftsntimes tho Best Medicine that Can
be Given.

Il
DR.. b w. Richardson says that q
custom still prevails, despite all our
sanitary teachings, that the occu-
pants of a sick room in the private
house should be kept at all times in
darkened room. Not one time in
ten do we enter sick room in the
daytime TO find it blessed with the
light of the sun. Almost invariably,
before we can get look at the face
of the patient, we are obliged to re-
quest that the blinds be drawn up,
in order that the rays of a much
greater healer than the most able
physician can ever hope to be may be
admitted. Too often the compliance
| with this request reveals a condition
of the room which, in the state Of
darkness is almost inevitably one Of
disorder everywhere, foods, medi-
cines, furniture, bedding misplaced,
dust, stray leavings 10 all directions.
In brief, there is nothing so bad
as dark room. It is as if the at
PENDANTS were expecting the death
of the patient. And if the reason
for it is asked. the answer is as in.
consistent as the fact. The reason
usually offered is that the patient
cannot bear the light; as though
the light could not be cut off from
the patient by curtain or screen,
and as though to darken one part of
the room it were necessary to darken
the whole of it. The real reason is
an old superstitious one, which once
prevailed so intensely. that the sick,
suffering from the most terrible d.
sease, -smallpox for instance were
shut up in darkness their beds sur
rounded with red curtains during the
whole of their illness. The red cur
tains are now pretty nearly given up,
but the darkness is still credited
with some mysterious curative virtue.
A more injurious practice really
could not be maintained than that Of
darkness in a sick room. 1t is not
only that dirt and disorder are re-
suits of darkness-a great remedy is
lost
Sunlight is the remedy lost, and
the loss is momentous. Sunlight
diffused through a room warns and
clarifies the air, it has direct in
fiuence on the minute organic poi
sons-a distinctive influence which is
most precious-and it has cheerful
effect on the mind The sick should
never be gloomy, and in the presence
of the light the shadows Of gloom fly
away. Happily, the hospital ward,
Notwithstanding it's many defects
and it has many-is so far favored
that it is blessed with the light of
the sun whenever the sun shines.
In private practice the same remedy
ought to be extended to the patients
of the households and the first words
of the physician or surgeon on enter
ing the dark sick room should be the
dying words Of the Goethe: ''More
light! more light"-The Druggists
and Chemists Gazette.

A Little Beyond Her.

She was pretty country girl, rus
tic, but sweet and innocent as a
flower.
He was an artist from the city and
a poet, and he loved the rustic
maiden.
1t is so sweet to love in the pristine
prettiness Of the provinces.
He had found it so, and this soft
night 10 October, when the moon was
touching the earth and the air with
its silver fingers, he had chosen to
tell his love and claim the heart he
felt was throbbing in unison with his
own.
AS she sat by him there in the
cleaning, with the soft breezes max
ing harp strings of her golden hair,
there was tender music in his heart
he had never known before.
"Dear one" he murmured as ne
held her hand tightly in his II love
you; love you with all the energy of
my passionate nature and here, this
night, in the presence of the stars
and yonder lambent Luna, / ask you
to give me that place in your young
affections every true man should be
given at the hand of the woman he
would make his own forever"
He was slightly ratified, but she
held to his hand.
"Charlie," she whispered as she
nestled her head on his manly bosom,
IF that means a proposal I'm your
huckleberry; but If you mean it for a
description Of the scenery you'd bet
ter look out for the dog"
And Charles revised his language.
