An excellent reproof is. that which is said to have been administered on one occasion r Jose Rihera. the famous Spanish painter. He lived in ehe days when there were; many students of all chemy and foolish believers in it's great powers. One day two Spanish officers were discussing certain wonders of al chemy in Ribera's house.
 Ribera did not join in the discussion, but at last said quietly that he was in possession of the philosopher s stone, !" and that they might see his way of. using it the next morning if they chose. ;,
 The two officers appeared at the ap- pointed time the next morning, but found the artist hard st work, not in 8 mysterious laboratory, as they had ex- pected, but at his easel. Asking them to restrain their impatience for a short time. he painted steadily on, finished the picture on which he was at work, and sent it out by his servant, who brought back small, sealed package. Ribera broke the seal in the presence of his eager guests and threw 10 gold doubloons on the table
 "You see now how gold is to be made,'' he said quietly, with a smile at the crestfallen officers. II do 1t by painting; you by serving his majesty. Diligence in ones chosen work Is the only true alchemy. "-Youth's Compan- iOn

 If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bow els, they would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctors services to subduo attacks of dangerous diseases.
 That, of all known agents to accomplish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequalled, is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills, Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from hRhitua1 con- eipation, piles and indigestion.

 'The Rev. Ogle c. Gates, Methodict preacher in Kingman, Kan, says 1.-The New Orleans Plcayune," ''is a famous base ball player. Recently a club at pitcher, and, in order to secure them, paid his price of $25 and all his expenses. On the day of the game, just before play was called. Pitcher Gates had the nine in which he was playing mustered around the home plate, and then addressed them as follows: Boys, l believe in athletic sport, but you all know my dislike to prOfane or vulgar language. l believe that base ball can be played without the use of language that none of us would in trOduce in our parlors or home circles. While 1 have agreed to pitch this game, l also reserve the right to quit at any time a member uses profane or vulgar language. Let us play with that under standing Then the game went on. and during the entire game the request of Pitcher Gates was vigorously respected. Not a prOfane or vulgar word was heard, and the effect it had on the players met with great comment among those wit messing the game"
 A. E. Fitzpatrick, of Fillmore, Cal, had the misfortune to have his leg caught be- tween a cart and a stone and badly bruis- | ed. Ordinarily he would have been laid up for two or three weeks, but says After using one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm I began to feel better, and in three days was entirely well.

q Chivairio Tale of Love. Flight. RIko and Knight.
 CHAPTER

CHAPTER I.
 Fcndly the, knight of the Silver Shield loved the fair and noble Lady Gwendoline, and she as fondly returned his love.
 She returned it because 1t was so nice to have him give it back to her as he always did.
 ' My own," he murmured, Clasping her to his bosom. ''Here, too, " she whispered as she coy ly nestled her haxen, head upon the stovelid cuirass he wore over bis manly chest, partly for protection and partly for revenue only.
 CHAPFERu H. @ z But the old duke, the Lady Gwendo- Iine's father, was opposed to the match. He had asked the knight to take of his silver shield and substitute gold one, and the knight had refused with BCorn and contumely.
 The knight still owed for the silver shield, and he did not care to mortgage his immortal soul for 8 change. ... "Do as command" sternly ordered the old duke, "or never be son-in law of mine"
 "Well, I don't think hissaf the knight between his set of teeth, ana the strike was on.
 CHAPTER III.
 The knight of the Silver Shield had told the Lady Gwendoline all. He could not tell her more, or inc would have done so gladly, so much he loved her.. .1. "I will hee," she bravely said. "Two f1ees," he replied heartily. and they packed @ small kit of wedding things.
 In half an hour they were flying from the gray and grim old castle.
 CHAPTER ".
 And fast before the old duke, then, |
 Three hours they'd fled together,
 And If he'd caught them in the glen
 He would have mopped the heather
 up with the knight. '
 The old duke hard behind them hIed.
 Should he their steps discover,
 Then what could cheer the bonny, bride
 When he had slugged her loverP
 But still. as wildly blew the wind
 And as the night grew drearer.
 The duke was coming up behind,
 His pulling sounded nearer.
 CHAPTER V.
 A great thought came to the knight of the Silver Shield
 Sweet one," he said softly, stacking his speed, "wait but little. l will come again. l. "Waiting for you," she whispered, ''were such sweet sorrow that l would xuoSk v3UAi1 kOynOTr '' It was then II :55 p m., and the knight, kissing the fair lady's hand. hurried back over the way which they had come.
 CHAPTER VI.
 "Saved!' he exclaimed, returning tc her side and once moro moving swiftly forward.
 "But papa?" she asked, with anxious eagerness. Knocked out in the first round, ' laughed the knight of the Silver Shield in loud, triumphant tones. II filled the road with tacks, and the old man s tire Is punctured 30 that he has to lay up fol repairs. ''

Poisons engendered by food fermenting in dyspeptic stomach are the direct cause of rheumatism, Rout. brOnchitis liver and kidney complaints. asthma .pneu- monia and many nervous ailments.
 These results are prevented by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, remedy discovered and prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. It is in itself a food and has power to digest other food taken with it. Thus 1t rests the diseased stomach and finally masters the worst cases of dyspepsia. It acts promptly, and fresh strength and increase of weight soon follows. The first dose, taken i'm mediately after eating, abates the pain and distress so dreaded by dyspeptics.
 Trial bottles-enough to prove its mer- l ito cents.
 LAYoL is the best medicine for children. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor l Oil.

Water Column es,ooO, 900 Mile. LOnr.

. The finite mind is utterly incapable of framing an idea or of making 8 com- parison that will properly illustrate the vast amount of water now existing in the five great oceans of our planet. Let us see: One gallon of water weighs ten pounds, and figures on the area and depth,Of the Pacific show that there are approximately 200, ,OOO, ,0Oo, 900, 900 of such gallons of water in that ocean alone. The Atlantic could be put down in the basin u9 the Pacihc, and only III 1t one-third full The Indian, Ina Arctic and Antarctic oceans, combined with the other two, would give an area for the five of 142, O00, 900 square miles. Formed into a circle this would make an ocean 12,0 feet in depth and 18,- 900 miles from bank to bank. The contents would be about 105, 900, 900 cubic miles of water. If standpipe could be built from the earth to the sun, so that we could have column of water 9S, 900, ,00O miles in length, that standpipe would have to be made 2% miles in diameter to hold the water now contained in the five great oceans. It has been figured that it would take ], ,6OO, GOO years fer the water of the Pa cifc to flow over Niagara, the volume being continually as great as that which is now plunging over the falls.-St. Louis Republic.
