For pains in the chest there is noth- ing better than flannel cloth satura- ted with Cham berlaiu's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain. It will produce a counter irritation without blistering. and is not 80 disxgreeable as mustard; in fact is much superior to any plaster on account of it's psin-relieving qualities. If used in timr it will pre- vent pneumonia. 60 cent bottles for sale by W H Camp, Canaan; Geo. T. Johnson, Norfolk.

No mystery about it. When the Shakers offered some time ago to give away bottle of their Digestive Cordial to any one who might call at their New York office. there was . great rush and great many people thought they were crazy. Subsequent events prove it to have been 8 very clever advertising transaction, for although they gave away thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end profitable; nearly every enc that took free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying they had derived better results from its use than from any other medicine they had ever used.
 There is nothing 50 uniformly suc- oessful in the treatment of stomach troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor dial, and what is better than all, it re- lieves at once.

Strict Rules of Etiquette.

In Baron Rothschild's recent book
of anecdotes he tells some curious tales
OF the extremely stringent rules of ETH
quette which prevailed at the French
court in the reign of Louis XVI. Marie
.Antoinette christened Comtesse de
Noailles Mime. Etiquette" Once, when
she fell from donkey in her private
grounds, she jumped to her feet and
cried out. laughing: go and fetch
Nine. de Noailles; she will tell us what
is prescribed for queen of France
when she falls off donkey" One cold
winter night when the queen was I'M
dressing the maid was handing her the
chemise de mutt when the lady in wait
ing came in, to whom, as being of SUI
perior rank, the garment had to be
given over. She could not touch it.
however, until she had removed her
gloves, and before that operation had
been performed Duchess d'Orleans, a
princess of the blood, turned up, and
after her Comtesse de Provence: who
was of higher rank still, so that the
chemise had to be handed from one 10
the other. while the queen stood wait
ing and shivering. At last, unable t.,
contain herself any longer, she ex-
claimed: at is odious! What a nui-

LOVE AND LIBERTY.
Themes of the South American Singers
Some Are Full of Dignity and Power.

Some Are Full of Dignity and Power.
Some of the most beautiful and sym
pathetic interpretations of life in verse
that have been made during recent
years have come from the pens of the
Latin American poets, and yet these
writers are but little read outside of
their own countries. The list of those
who have written inspired poems in
the present generation in the mellow
and melodious language of Calderon
and Cervantes is long, and it includes
those whose personal history has been
as remarkable and picturesque as the
work that they have produced; in
South America the poems that have
found favor have been voices of life;
the experience has been the soil of the
orchid, and the reason for it; in the
land of picture and bloom, of the bill
Lowry pampas and the cleaning Andes,
poems are the creations of what these
singers have felt or done-they bloom.
During recent visit to the Argentine
Republic and to Chill it was my privi-
lege to meet Senior Don de la Barra, the
ian minister to England, the author of
several books on Greek forms of verse
ond on rhythmic expression one of the
most courtly and scholarly men in lit
erature. He wrote the grand ode which
opened the Gillian exposition, one of
the few of the poetic interpretations of
art and science that in recent times
have been adequate to really great occa-
sions. In this ode one hears the music
of the march of machinery, and finds
his heart in the new triumphant prog
ress and sees the soul OF the living and
inspiring age.
! met in Buenos Ayres Senior Carlos
Guido y Spano, the Longfellow of Ar
gentina, most lovely and beautiful
character, whose identification of his
work with his life is as marked. He won
the heart of the Argentines by his SYM
pathy with the public suffering during
the yellow fever epidemic in 1871. He is
an old man now; he has come out of life
in public service with clean hands, and,
like many who have lived for others,
has not accumulated fortune for him
self. But be has gained that which is
more than material wealth. The people
of the purple republic are very proud OF
their venerable poet. Of his philanthropy
and integrity, as well as his verse, and
they are about to present to him home
and tribute out of their ample purses,
that he who has loved them may pass
his serene cid age amid the evidences of
their grateful affection.-Ch Chicago News.

Mr. Rhodes then took his leave, aston
ished at his own volubility, which, in
deed. nothing could have induced but
his desire to relieve one so much es-
teemed as Miss Morgan from present
embarrassment.
Mr.. Rhodes drove to neighboring
place, deeply occupied with his good
purposes toward Miss Morgan, salts
flying himself that the pecuniary sacri-
flee he had proposed was due to his
untold and unknown affection for her,
and not beyond his means.
Miss Morgan felt renewal of al.

and desired the advice of her married
