/ PHILOSOPHERS BIIT.
Thomas Carlyle Gave Sound
Advice to People.
If the People Could Only PhiIosophize
Like This.
The vandcrbilts and Rothschilds Would Have
Many Rivals.

That great philosopher, Thomas
Carlyle, says The block of stone
which is an obstacle in the pathway
of the weak, becomes a steppingstone
in the pathway Of the strong" He who
wrote that knew human nature. 1,
means that the weak are easily dis
obstacle.
What a difference with the strong
straight on to success. What makes
the difference? 1t is simply and en-
tirely question Of nerve force, energy
and the strength of perfect health.
Which are you reader? Are you the
weaknerved individual to whom every
trial results in the trembling weakness
of nervous exhaustion? Does days
work seem TO you like a mountain in
your path. and tire you in the doing
Is it hard for you to get up in the
morning from WEAKNESS, or to concen-
trate your mind or to control your I'M
steady nerves?
You can get over ii. You can have
nerves like steel and be as strong and
vigorous as ever.
The way to accomplish this change
and gain that physical and nerve
strength is to take DR. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t will
make new nerves for you, invigorate
your blood and so strengthen and
build you up that you will feel like Il
new person. You will be ready fof
any work and do it with a will and
without fatigue.

Rice In the Bible.

A book before us says, Rice is not men,
toned in the Bible, as it did not grow in
the countries in which Bible happenings
occurred We think the author is mis-
taken. The fact that tho word RICE
does not appear is no evidence of the nom
existence Of Il product that in the Bible
era was feeding the majority of the world 5
people. From the earliest ages the blanket
expression. corn has been used to cover
all kinds of grains and seeds used for food
In England the word now applies to bar
ley, rye. oats and, more specifically, wheat.
In Scotland it usually means oats, while
here it only refers to maize. The word
corn" frequently occurs in the Bible, and
when we consider the enormous commerce
of Palestine, particularly in the days of
solomon. it is natural to suppose that rice
was among the imports, and that, like
wheat and other grains, it finds shelter
under the market term corn. Aberdeen

Then called a couple of physicians, proved the ex- istence of mental disorder known as kleptomania, read some authorities to show that it was a good defense if proved, and submitted my case.

Parrot Stories.

There was an old factotum in our family who used to sew for us, and who occasionally spent several weeks at a time at the house. She was somewhat of a character had been married three
 times. and to distinguish her second dear departed was in the habit of call ing him 'my middle husband; old maids she naturally did not approve of, remarking that they were the only things not prayed for in the Lttany
 The old woman was very deaf, and much shouting was needed to make her hear. One day many vain efforts
 were made to induce her to do q piece of work in particular way, but she could not or would not see what was
 wanted, and at last, In despair, the lady of the house remarked to the nurse, "Oh, never mind; when she is gone, 1t must be altered" ''Ah," re- marked the parrot, in a loud, clear voice, there's no fool like an old fool.'
 The parrot had on one morning been given a bath, or, in other words, the
 garden watering-can had been turned upon him, and was placed in front of the fire to dry. There were two small kittens who were sitting one on each side of the cage. The bird walked first to one side, and looking out of the cor ner of his eye, inquired, Are you a good boy?" Then he sidled across to the other end of his perch and said to the other kitten, And are you a good boy?"
 One day two children of our family visited the house. and when alone amused themselves by mischievously pulling up some tulips, which grew in a pot in the room, by the roots, after wards carefully replaeing them. A lit
