I have for several years been acquainted
with the medicinal qualities of Paine's
celery compound, and can enthusiastically
:.dorse as specific in many cases for
which it's use is recommended by its pro-
prietors. Fl. HENRY PowERs,
LIST Dist. vt.
By far the best use that any tired or
ailing person can make of these preci-
GUS spring days is to purify the blood
and regulate their nerves with Paine's
celery compound. 1t is plain to any
observant person that the best remedy
for neuralgia, persistent headaches
and such like indications of low nerv-
ous vigor, is the one that most rapidly
and completely nourishes the worn out
parts. 1t is not in the power of any
other remedy to do the vigorous work of
Paine's celery compound in strengthen
ing the jaded system. and in bringing it
back to an energetic, healthy condi-
ton.
The real danger that stares sick peo-
pie in the face is the putting off at
tending to sickness and diseas, and
letting slip these health. inviting

He Had a Good Excuse.

y clergyman was on a Western trip
for his health, and happened one Sun
day to stop at little Colorado inn, the
keeper of which was also the superin-
tendent of the local Sunday school. The
superintendent was proud of his schol-
airs, and persuaded his guest to attend
that afternoons session, and to put the
pupils through little examination. The
lateer did as desired, and wound up
with a short discourse on profane
swearing.

.The CRY Is sti,l. .rbev Come,

One of the harmless insects known
as a "black beetle" is more correctly
called the cockroach. But though a
common enough object in northern
lands, tropical countries seem to be
blessed with its presence in vast num-
bers, and North Queensland appears
to be a veritable paradise of cock
reaches In the coast towns the de-
lightful creatures come out of their
dens at dusk and swarm over floor,
wall, and ceiling, until there is neither
standing nor sitting room, and thou
sands upon thousands are compelled
to spend the hours of darkness in the
,ardens and yards.

The Dear Old Lady's Mistake.

Old Mr.. and Mrs. Shuman from Bryan
went to town, and in going to the hotel
for dinner saw crowd around the JUS
tice court. The old couple, with pardon
able curiosity. inquired the cause Of the
gathering. They were informed that a
man was on trial for beating his wife.
Edging their way through the bystand-
ers to get look at the prisoner. the old
lady whispered to her husband:
"What a murderous looking creature
the prisoner is I'd be afraid to get near
him."
"Hush " warned her husband. "That
isn't the prisoner; he hasn't been
brought in yet"

Remarkable Baptismal Titles.

Remarkable Baptisma1 Titles.
The ouaintness of the Puritan names
nf niety-not Bible names, but words or
phrases of religious import-has long
been recognized In the days of Crom-
well. contemporary jokes were rife
among the "Malignants," in which such
worthy Roundheads as "F1ght-tne-
good -of-faith Jones'" "Help-rrom-
Dn-High Robbins" and "Faint-not- Pills.
berry," figured prominently. and were
treated with scant respect. The names
themselves were not burlesQued. Ihey
were so queer it would have been dlfn-
cult TO do so.
The longest and strangest of the com
binations in use in Old England did not'
fortunately, ever become popular ID
New England. Nevertheless the Amer
lean colonies had their share. Our own
DR.. Holmes has recognized this III MS
ballad of Puritan times, beginning with
the fathers invitation to his little son:
"Come hither, God-be-Glorified, and sit
upon my knee"
And it was in a much later period
than the colonial that a worthy person
fiourished, commonly known as IrlbDy
Clan. but whose whole name was
rhrough-much-tr ation-we-enter-the-
kingdom Heaven Clap. The brief
surname follows it's lengthy prefix as
surprisingly as clap of thunder.
But. apart from the rarer and longer
combination names, any one reading
much among old town records, or expert
In antiquarian lore, is sure to come
across names odd enough to make him
pause to wonder whether the ancestors
who bestowed them were so singularly
sober-minded as to be without the
sense of humor, or so excessively hui
morous as to name their children in
jest.
Some of the names read remarkably
like puns. For instance, one of group
Of her ancestors to whom Mrs. Alice
Morse Earle dedicates recent book on
Colonial Danes and Goodwives' is
Mistress Silence Heard. One wonders
whether Goodman and GoOdwfe
! Heard noticed the effect of this con-
junction when they named their baby.
or did they do it on purpose?
Here are few other names of the
same kind, all duly recorded among the
births and deaths, wills and land trans
fers of few little New England towns:
"Wait Long," Temperance Waters"
righteous Hope" "Lovey Sweet"
Submit Willing" and Thankful

Smart" should certainly have been a
forward child, but he died in infancy.
One poor little girl, at least, we may be
sure was named in ignorance by her
parents, who were peaceable and re-
spected people, though it is hard to
imagine how they could have failed to
perceive the bloodthirsty significance
of her Christian name when united
| with her surname. She was ehristened
