A GREAT SLAYER

and harder for the business man to succeed, and
in recognition of this fact, the public is often
informed that this or that thing has 'cOme to
thing is even better. One of the greatest stay
ers we know of is Pain-Killer, the advertise
ments of which we are printing elsewhere
This famous old family remedy has stayed in
more popular than ever. This one fact proves
its value, and makes argument unnecessary.
1t only remains for the prOprietOrs (as they are
now noing) to remind each coming generation
that for over half century Pain-Killer has
been recognized as the handiest, surest and
cheapest cure for the common ills of humanity,
and that bottle on their shelf will sooner or
later save them trouble and suffering and
money.

MY LADY.

In nv poor cot there dwelleth not
A lady lulled in laces
And satins fine. None such Is mine
But very sweet her face is
For God, when first her heart did beafs
Smiled on her face and made it sweet
She robeth not her dear self in
Rare gowns of queenly splendor.
She hath won all that she could win
A hearts love-loyal, tender!
She is not rich, and yet know
One kiss of love can make her sol
No jewels glitter on her hands,
Or e'er to love betrayed her.
Of all the ladies of the lands
She's just as God hath made her!
For when he made the morning, he
Made one rose for himself and mel
And close beside my heart wear
That flower that fadeth never.
And if pray tits but this prayer
To keep that rose forever.
But, 10! my lady comes, and she
Brings roses of her love to me!

CHAMPIONSHIP.

In all the out door sports OF the season
the weather is playing champion to knock
out and close up games. A change will
come, of course, and with hot weather will
come the tiercer struggle to make up for
lost time. ALI this means a greater amount
of wear and tear to the body, to its muscles,
nerves and bones. What the damage in
all will be from sprains, bruises, wounds.
hurts, infammations, Commissions and the
like no one can tell, but there is cham
pionship to be won, important to all, to
which few give sufficient consideration,
and that is the triumph over all these
pains and mishaps in the surest, prompt
est way. St. Jacobs Oil is the champion
remedy for all such ailments; it does not
disappoint and never postpones cure for
any cause whatever.

Height of Ocean Waves.

An article quoted in Current Litera-
ture, gives this interesting information
ON ocean waves: DR.. G. Schott, as the
result of studying the form and height
of the waves of the sea, claims that
under a moderate breeze their velocity
was 24.6 feet per second, Or 1873 miles
per hour, which is about the speed Of
modern sailing vessel. AS the wind
rises, the size and speed of the waves
increase. In strong breeze their
length rises to $50 feet and their speed
reaches $50 or 1854 feet per second.
Waves the period of which is nine Sec
onds, the length 400 Or 425 feet, and
the speed twenty-eight nautical miles
per hour, are produced only in storms.
During a southeast storm in the south
ern Atlantic DR.. Schott measured waves
800 feet long, and this was not maxi
mum; for in latitude % degrees south
and longitude 80 degree east he observ-
ed waves of fifteen seconds period,
which were 1850 feet long, with a
velocity of 1877 feet per second, or
46 1-8 nautical miles an hour. DR..
SchOtt does not think that the maximum
height of the waves is very great. Some
observers have estimated it at thirty or
forty feet in wind of the force repre-
sented by eleven on the Beaufort scale
(the highest number of which is
twelve); and DR.. Schott's maximum is
just thirty feet. He believes that
in great tempests waves of more than
sixty feet are rare, and that even those
of fifty feet are exceptional. In the Or
binary trade winds the height is five
Or six feet. The ratio of height to
length is about 1888 in moderate
wind, 1:18 in strong wind, and LII
in storm; from which it follows that
the inclination of the waves is respec-
lively about 6, 10, II, degrees. The
ratio of the height of the waves to the
force of the wind varies generally.

Hints About Screws.

Where screws are driven into soft wood
and subjected To considerable strain they
are very likely to work loose, and it is of
ten difficult To make them hold. In such
cases the use of glue is profitable. Make
the glue thick. Immense stick about
half the size of the screw and put it into
the hole. Then put in the screw and
drive it home as quickly as possible. When
there is an article of furniture To be hastily
repaired, and no glue is at hand, bore a
hole, insert the stick, fill the rest of the
cavity with pulverized rosin, then heat the
screw sufficiently to melt the rosin as it is
driven in. Where screws are driven into
wood for temporary purposes, they can be-
more easily removed by dipping them in
oil before inserting. When buying screws,
notice that the heads are small and well
cut, that there are no flaws in the body OF
thread part, and that they have gimlct
points A screw of good make will drive
as easily into oak Ms others into pine and
will endure having twice the force brought

"oIxIe" THE spo'Ls OF WAR.
Lincoln Said the Song became the Prop
erty of the North.

Noah Brooks, In Tho Century, In his per-
sonal "reminiscences of Lincoln, writing OF
the re- ,'ut of news of Lees surrender,
says:
AS the srenoon wore on an impromptu
procession came up from the navy yard,
dragging six boat howitzers, which were
fired through the streets as they rolled on.
This crowd, REINFORCED by the hurrahing
legions along the route, speedily swelled to
enormous proportions and filled the whole
area In front of the White House, where
guns were fired and bands played while
the multitude waited for a speech. The
young hope of the house of Lincoln-Tad
made his appearance at the well known
window from which the president always
spoke and was received with great shouts OF
applause whereupon no waved a captured
rebel flag, TO the uproarious delight OF the
sovereign people below.
When Lincoln came to the window
shortly after the scene before him was one
of the widest confusion. 1t seemed impos-
sible for men adequately to express their
feelings. They fairly yelled with delight,
threw up their hats again and again or
threw up one another's hats and screamed
like mad. From the windows of the White
House the surface of that crowd looked
like an agitated sea of hats, faces and
arms. Quiet being restored the president
briefly congratulated the people on the &C.
casion which called out such unrestrained
enthusiasm and said that as arrangements
were being made for IA more formal cele-
bration he would defer his remarks until
that occasion, "for," said he, 81 shall have
nothing to say then if 1t Is all dribbled out
of me now.
He said that AS the good old tune Of
"Dixie" had been captured on the 9th Of
April he had submitted the question Of its
ownership to the attorney general, who
had decided that that tune was now our
lawful property, and he asked that the
band should play 1t, which was done with
will, Yankee Doodle" following. Then
the president proposed three cheers for
General Grant and the officers ana men
under him, then three cheers for the navy,
all of which were given heartily, the presi-
dent leading off, waving his hand and
the laughing, joyous crowd dispersed.

DON'T SAY OZARK" IN WASHINGTON.
That Is, Don't Say 1t of = Lady IL You
Mean Merely That She Is Brunette.


A difference in the meaning of words
that might interest dialecticians was
brought to the notice of New Yorker
who went to Washington not long ago to
help friend get married. Nobody car
marry in Washington without first getting
a marriage license at the city hall. Neither
the man most interested nor his New York
friend had ever been married in Washing
ton, and il was with some trepidation that
they went after the license together. IL
was agreed that the New Yorker should
do the talking. After several attempts to
extract license from the tax clerk, the
mayors private secretary and two stray
deputy sheriffs the pair got to the right
desk and applied for the license. The
clerk asked the names of the contracting
parties, their place of residence and other
questions. Then he said to the New
Yorker
lis the groom light or darkY'
Light, returned the young man, won

the matter.
