cumbersome to carry; while the
simple truth is that if they would
let cold circulate with it, all would
want it and all they could get OF 1t,

fit only for a crematory. Silver for

Hereafter all the debts of the

These figures represent the gov
eminent debts of only portion of
Europe. With such vast obligations
due largely to shylock, kings and en-
perors are merely puppets who do as
they are bid, and the common peo-
pie feel the burden more and more
as the years 60 by. All Europe is a
camp and no one can say when the
flames of war will blaze out. The
rapid gathering of gold into govern
ment repositories is cOnsonant with
the enormous growth of land and
naval ornaments and the unrest of
the multitude. Says a writer in
Century: "France is thirsty for
glory and to get even with Ger
many; in Germany discomfort is ac-
tually burning, there being more
than 1000 900 active socialists in the
empire; in Russia there is no con-
tent; in Italy no one is happy; even
in England there are grave signs of
restlessness. So far as human eyes
may see, the condition of the world
and more especially the condition
of mems minds-points to some kind
of disastrous explosion rs at hand in
the near future"
The fearful potentiality of COM
pound interest, of enormous debts
never intended to be paid, but re-
newed and increased, and the corner
in gold, are at the bottom Of it all.

In the Church of CHRISTIAN at Pisek, In

lowing strange business in London.
There is man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment for all

of family Oh his staff, who in the guise
of guests manage to insure al enjoyable
evening for the invited guests, and thus
set the anxiety of the hostess, fearing a
dull time for her guests, ut rest. A cou-
pie of guineas will engage the services
Of a person of "good social attainments, 1"

The following incident happened at

scenes Mr.. Wyndham tells fellow actor
to 60 down stairs and he will follow
him in three minutes. Then, as he takes
out his watch, the curtain should de-
scend. On this occasion, however, it
failed to do so, and tho Squire of Danes
reclined on the sofa, patiently waiting.
An almost painful pause occurred The
curtain jerked, but would not fulfill it's
mission, and Mr.. Wyndham, realizing
the situation, aGein pulled out his
watch, and said,s "Ah, two minutes
have passed. There was another pause,
after which he arose and announced
that "the time was up and he must CO. {"
AS he left the stage the curtain at last

Easily and Work is an Effort.

There are numberless people who do
not call themselves sick, and yet who
feel weak. nervous, languid or tired;
they have lost their vim, power of en-
durance and ambition to work. They
feel miserable, not because they are
actually sick. bus because they are not

People complain that they are weak,
nervous, tired and exhsusted; that they
have poor or variable appetite, no
strength, no nerve; they become irrit.

some cases there are pains and aches in
various parts of the body, and there Is
often indigestion, dyspepsia. be]ching OF
wind, dull, cloudy head, and genera,
dispirited feeling. Sloepless, restless,
wakeiul nights follow. The brain tires

characters drag long trains after them,
which have but four corners, like q car
