The Painter Won.

Often have painters and sculptors dis cussed the relative merits of painting and culpture A story is told of an artist who resented the disparaging comparisons made by sculptor and laid a wager that he could within given time paint pic ture which should display the human fig ure as completely as any sculptor could.
 The wager was accepted, and upon the appointed day painting was produced which fulfilled all the conditions. It rep resented a warrior, his back to the specta tor, bending over sheet of water, in the limpid surface of which was reflected his entire face and form. To the right a suit of polished armor hung and threw back a full length profile image, while mirror performed like office for the left si-. The sculptor of course, handed over the money staked.-Paris Journal.

Mrs. George L. Brensing, 157 ". 127th street, New York, whose picture appears above, says:
 ''l am .he mother of tweIvs children and all are alive. 1 never had Il day's sick ness in my life until sb ut ten years ago, when l was seized suddenly with tn attack of Brigbt's ais. ase of the kidneys. Two doc tors called it Briyhi's disease and each said l must die. Indeed, was actually in the tnroes of death. At that time a friend, a lady, ca me 10 see me and said l was surely dying. Still she urged ,ne to take a remedy of which had heard much, but knew lit- tie. l followed her suggestions, and now solemnly declare and affirm that, although was dying when l took this medicine, it saved my life, and believe that owe my life entirely to Warner's Safe Cure. I also believe that it will save the life of any one who uses it for kidney troubles. thank God for Warmers Safe Cure, aud I have sounded it's praises far and near, and shall continue to do so. '
 Words such as the above, drawn from human experience and suffering, become messages of hope to womankind. Young women, mothers and those in advanced years are often called upon to suffer when it is unnecessary that they should do so. That they should employ every means in their power to avoid suffering is unques- tionabiy a solemn duty.
