A Giant Wisterfa.

Over the path by the west drive in
Central park, New York city, not far
from the Webster statue. there is a IA
miliar arbor which is shaded by a giant
wisteria. When the wisteria is in bloom
it scatters it's blossoms, falling from their
own ripeness or blown off by the wind.

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden T1edieal
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninefy-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
cenfage of cases, and we believe, fully 95
Der cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.

No Meeting.

A young reporter was sent out recently
by the city editor of one of the Rochester
papers to report meeting. About two
hours after the assignment was made,
the young reporter returned with a sad
countenapce. The city editor asked him
to get the report up Immediately, as it
was nearly time to go to press. '"There
will not be any report on that meeting,
was the answer. ''Why not" queried
the city editor. ''There was noe any
meeting" replied the young reporter; lit

was chncked under the table .

The Meaning of Names.

1t is pleasant to know the origin and
meaning of ones own name, and where
that meaning is beautiful it is an incent-
I've to brave and noble conduct. Even the
plainest and harshest names are beautiful
by association. 1t would be well for ev-
cry girl to find out what her name means
or learn the history of the ancestor or
friend or character who caused it to be
loved and then try to realize what her
parents hoped for when they chose that
name in preference to all others for their
child

A Blind Catfish 4.

Ernie Russell, aged Is, this morning
caught a catfish weighing forty pounds
on his trout line at Buena Vista. The
half the lower jawbone and all the upper
one is gone. But the strange thing about
the fish is that it is totally blind in both
eyes. The eyeballs have run out and lit
tie holes exist where the eyes were. The

The Summer Boy.

Your principal life-work, summer girl,
is the study of summer boys. Let us
help you with that. Beware Of the boy
who talks too much about himself or who
hints at dark events in his life. Show
scorn to the boy who tries to talk about
the amount he can drink or about the
number of hours he can play poker. If
packages of cigarettes day and in
hales the smoke, remember that he is a
good boy to let alone. Don't wind your
IVY affections around the oaken heart
of the boy who spends money on you
recklessly or beyond his means. Such
a boy will some day spend his money on
someone else while you rock the baby.
Try to land the good-natured boy, the
boy who fights and gets over it, the boy
tells you your faults occasionally.

The Fathers Teachings.

The boy loves his mother probably more
than he does his father, but SO far as re-
lates to the affairs of life In general and
on Its hard side he has ten times the con-
hdence in his fathers practical and avail
able wisdom that he has in that of his
mother. And If his father finds it neces-
sary in the conduct Of business to strain
one or two of the commandments the boy
will keep on repeating the commandments
to his mother and commence breaking
them with his father, and that, too. with
out feeling that the sinuosity of the pro-
cedure involves any great amount Of incon-
sistency. The only thing that will save
the boy and hold him in such way true
to the fixed pole Of reotitude that no con-
siderations of place or circumstance can
defect him is that he be under the domi-
nation of father whose life in the midst
of the world incarnates the principles
learned from the mother in the midst of
the home The boy will believe in the
feasibility of his mothers doctrine Of
righteousness if he sees his father take 1t
out and exemplify it under the stress OF
business.
The fathers life to this degree measures
the power of the mothers tuition and is
as the hand Of God fastening or postpon.
ing the fulflllment of her maternal long
ings and prayers for the children of the
household. Charles n. ParkAurst, D. D.,

strain bit I went to Rankin and told
him not to worry about my salary, to give
me enough to live on, and when he got on
his feet again to pay the balance. He ex-
pressed much gratitude and accepted my
suggestion. I was living in modest rooms
on an obscure side street. Matters gradu-
ally grew worse and worse until he owed
me about $500. awoke one morning
