There were great many people COM

of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben Nassur.
They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had right to
enter were welcomed heartily. Food
was plentifully provided, but the mer-
REST hour of each day would he after.
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him were sew
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac
himself. AS master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat at the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
as ever, but. it seemed to have under
gone change, he wore itwith SO grand
an air. He appeared to be happy, and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat-
ulate him upon the marriage of his son.
SO the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen in the streets of Cana.

The registered package envelope is

which it is to be dispatched, carbon
manifold record of the package inclosed
in each pouch being preserved, the du-
plicate sheet of each pouch forming
the bill of adviceito the Office to which
the pouch is sent. Efe
When as many packages as the pouch
will hold have been entered ON the
proper book two clerks verify the en-
tries, sign the last sheet of the bill,
place itwith the packages in the pouch,
adjust the strap that secures it and
finally attach that mechanical wonder
called rotary lock. This lock has a
fixed serial nun Der engraved on its side,
which serves to identify it, and a ro-
tary number, which unerringly adj
yances one every time the lock is
opened. % .A,p@ Il 1li, stf 4
The pouch is then delivered 10 q rail-
way postal clerk, who receipts for 1T by
lock and rotary numbers, and 1t re-
mains under constant guard until its
destination is reached. Keys that
open the rotary locks are issued only to
post offices exchanging registered
pouches, and a careful comparison of
the rotary number CT the lock with its
entry on the pouch billis the first duty
of the clerks opening a registered

During the winter of 1893, F. M.
Martin, of Long Reach, West Va,
contracted severe cold which left
him with a cough. In speaking of
how he cured it he says: III used
several kinds of cough syrup but
found no relief until / bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which relieved me almost
instantly, and in short time
brought about a complete cure"
Wien troubled with a cough or
cold use this remedy and you will
not find 1t necessary to try several
kinds before you get relief. 1t has
been in the market for over twenty
years and constantly grown in
favor and popularity. For sale at
25 and so cents per bottle by George
& Montgomery, Druggists.

The pace THAT Kills.

every time / come to the United
States" said Mr.. Hugh Jamison, of Lon
don, England, II find fresh cause for as
constituent in the marvellous energy OF
the Yankee nation. 1t seems to me that
the people work on this side for the
sake of work, they appear to regard it
not rs means to an end, but the end
itself. This universalrush and hurry
impresses itself very forcibly on Eu-
ropeans. Some years ago was visit
ing friend in Russia. which is very
quiet country indeed, and, the CONVERSE
ton turning on London, some one re-
marked upon the unceasing activity
and press in the British capital, and how
the people hurried along the street dur
ing the busy hours of the day. An old
Russian thereupon. with a grave shake,
OF his head. observed that he had been in
London once, and that nearly all its cit
liens were mad. | wonder what this
old gentleman would have thought il he
had ever made a pilgrimage to Chicago?
Now. it is questionable in my mind
whether this traffic pace is healthy
thing for a people. Isn't it the pace
that kills? Why not leave something
for succeeding generations to doa Your
rich men, instead of settling on big
country estates and helping to improve
the rural districts, seem to all cluster in
the cities, and to continue adding to
their fortunes. The mania for work, for
active endeavor, seems never to leave
them. and their children inherit the
same tendencies" -Washington Post.
