4loftry,
WAITING FOR THE DENTIST.
By MACKENZIE BELL.
Though many dismal Years I've been
To dull Old Gaze apprenticed,
of smaller woes the worst We
Is waiting for the dentist,
How dreary is the cheerless room
Where pain must bide his peasure!
The very chairs are stepped in gloom
And seem to grieve at leisure
As if his patients molar grief
so uncontrolled its swelling,
For its fierce tide has sought relief
By deluglng the dwelling.
Books cannot Soothe a rampant TOOTH
Though they enrich table:
Sorrow alone seems kin to truth
A nd joy lying fable
When from the window you, perchance,
Behold sweet girlh0od's graceS
They only make you look a>kance
And think how sore you face is
ON many chairs and sofas too,
More martyrs round you langu~h:
You glance at them, they glance at you,
And give groan of anguish
Yon deem it bard their turn arrives
Before you in rotation.
Or they wax wrath that yours deprves
Their case of consolation.
You muse upon the ruthless wrench
That buys tooth's departing,
Or how the stopping pangs to quench,
In which you may be starting;
Or haply on these ivory clips
Harsh Nature may deny you
But which the golden key" eluIps
Mans genius to supply you.
No words your mood of mind express,
mood devoid of quiet,
Where pain, delight, and keen distress
Mingle in hopeless riot
Yes though much sorrow one must know
While to old Care apprenticei
The greatest unheroc woe
Is waiting for the dentist.

An IMPORTANT OFFICE.

To properly fill its office and functions,
it is important that the blood he pure.
When it is in such con litlon the body
is almost certain to be healthy. com
plant at this time is catarrh i'll some of its
various forms \ Slight cold develops the
disease in the head. Droppings of cor
ruption passing into the lungs bring on
consumption- The only way to cure this
disease is to purify the blood. The most
obstinate cases of catarrh yield t" the medi-
cinal powers of Hoods Sarsaparila as If
by magic, simply because it reaches the
seat of the disease, and by purifying and
vitaliZing the blood, removes the cause.
Not only does Hoods Sarsaparilla do this
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, makingit possible for good health
to reign supreme.

Jap English.

A Japanese called on Station
Clerk Fabian this morning and
handed him the following note:
"Niu Japanese Hilakida Katuzo,
l 60 spiik."
After some trouble it was learned
that the man wanted to see and
speak to someone ON the S. S. Inde-
pendent. The man had secured
someone else to write the note for
him, but it happened that the other
knew no more English than himself.

twenty-five years ago William Radam, a

landed in New York. He was German
and could not speak English. He had been
O soldier in the German army and later
had been In the employ OF Emperor Will
liam In the Imperial Gardens. Bellevue.
There he had learned, as only Germans
can learn, how to care for flowers and
trees. When he landed in America 1t was
natural that he should take up the culti-
walton of flowers and trees as Il business.
He began in Austin. Texas and in a few
years became one of the leading florists
and nurserymen of the West. Wealth
came to him but did not bring him hap
piness because, as his material possessions
grew, his health failed. To the original
complaint of malaria had been added
rheumatism, then catarrh and finally con-
sumption. After being treated by the most
skillful physicians for several years Mr..
Radam found himself seven years ago
virtually at the point of death. 1t was
at this juncture that he thought Of apply
ing the knowledge he had gained in the
treatment Of disease in plants to the treat
ment of his own serious maladies. He
had discovered that all the diseases Of
plants are caused by a sort of ferment-
alton, and that wherever this ferment-
alton appeared there were also germs or
microbes. Following his researches he
discovered that these microbes were not

On a certain hot day in August, 1S-,

graph building, in the city of New
York. dropped precisely at noon. In
stantly thereafter there was a chorus
of steam whistles, and then silence
The whistles attracted no particular
attention; the silence did. People
gradually became conscious of 1t. They
missed something. They stopped and
thought about it, and looked at one an
other inquiringly, and, presently, the
great tide of humanity which is always
moving in one way or the other on
broadway ceased its flow; little groups
gathered on the street corners and in
vaded the roadway, just as If some
procession were expected to pass.
The great thoroughfare presented an
odd appearance. Vehicles there were,
as usual, of all sorts-street cars and
trucks and cars and coaches-but all
were standing still. The drivers were
unhitching their horses and leading
them away. on the elevated railways,
the trains had ceased running. Pas
