A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces npon our considera-
ton its own peculiar perils to health
The advent OF fall finds many reduced i'll
strength and vigor, poorly prepared to
continue the business of life. The stom-
ach and bowels, the great highway of
animal economy, is especially liable to
disorder in the fall. The nervous system
has also suffered in the struggle. Typhoid
fever and malaria in particular find in the
fall that combination of earth, air and
water that mark this season as especially
dangerous The falling leaves, the decay
ing vegetables, contribute their share of
contamination. Hoods Sarsaparilla
furnishes a most valuable safeguard at
these important points, and should be
used in the fall before serious sickness has
laid you low.

A MISSING LETTER BADLY MISSED.

They have queer stone-cutters down in
Maine. Deacon Hackett lost his second
wife lately, a scrawny and shrewish wo-
man, whose loss was not an unmixed
sorrow. Still, the deacon dutifully de-
cided to give her a monument. Being
rather NEAR" he haggled with the vii
lage stonecutter as to the size ofthe slab,
and finally chose very narrow one, at a
bargain. The inscription was as follows:
SARAH BRACKETT.
Lord, she was thine!"
But the stone was so narrow that there
was no room for the last letter, so the
stone-cutter left it ont, with this result;
SARAH BRACKETT.
Lord, she was thin!"

HE LOVED TO STEAL.

A Methodist clergyman had finished
reading the Scripture lessonina week day
prayer meeting recently held in a New
Jersey village. Looking out over the
meagre audience, he asked Mr.. Smith to
start some appropriate song,
Smith hastily thumbed over the leaves
of his hymn book and began in an I'M
known key
II love to steal'-
This was clearly wrong, and the leader
stopped short. He could not get the
right pitch. Some of the younger per-
sons present Uttered and giggled. Smiths
face was red, and the perspiration was
beginning to ooze from every pore. Mop
ping his face, he made one more effort to
grasp the proper note, fairly shouting
Il love to steal''-
The clergyman with solemn mien arose
and, glancing at the now hopelessly con-
fused Smith, said:-"I am very sorry to
hear it, brother. Will Mr.. Jones kindly
lead us in prayer"
