Certain opinions of Robert Louis Ste,

are related by the Pail Mall Budget. His
passion for Dumas he was never tired of
proclaiming, and for Scott, with limita-

as he grew older Walt Whitman, he
averred, 'blew into space thousand cob
webs of genteel and ethical Illusions" the
which he did not further specify. He

great admirations were St. Matthew, Mar

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
Where the Aged and E,sfirm nre Cared
for-MOther Au-clia Speaks
OF Her Charges.
(F''om the Proriceace, Il. l.. .Iournn,.)


(F5on the Providence, X. L., ,Eournny.)
Somewhat removed from the city of Prov.
1dence, on the main highway to Pawtucket,
stands that magnificent charitable institu-
ton known as the Home for the Aged of the
Little Sisters of the Poor. Here a com.
pany of sweet faced and soft voiced Sisters
care for the old and the intirm who are
unable to care for themselves.
Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll.
known institution, and with her associates
ministers to the wants of over two hundred
old people, women and men. An important
feature of the Home is well-appoin.cd
pharmacy in charge of one of the sisters.
Their chief remedy is good old Pain-Killer.
which most of the old folks used when they
were children and which now cures the mains
and aches incidental to their declining Years.
AS is to be expected, the aged inmates of
the Home are in constant need of medical
attention, although, so carefully are they
tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in
the hospital wing at any one time. But all
OF them are subject to the many disabilities
OF old age, and so Pain-Killer has come
to be remedy Of almost daily use.
Mother Aurelia says that Pain-KilIer has
quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions
for use among the old people. When the
limbs twitch with rheumatism the fair
sister IN charge OF the pharmacy gives them
massage with pure Pain-Kil,er. When
the old men and old women suffer from
their many stomach troubles, a little Pain
Killer with water and sugar offers certain
and quick relief. When the venerable
heads are racked with pain, Pain-Kiler is
again put to service promptly The old
people love it and rely upon it. They tes.
tlfy that its use externally is quickly eiic;l.
eious, and internaily,is unaceompanied by
any after i'll effects which, at their age,
must never be risked.
