Within the past year. among the thou
sands of hearty testimonials to the wonder
ful curative powers of Paine's celery com.
pound that have been received by Wells,
Richardson Il Company-among the thou
sands of grateful letters received from every
state and town in the country, there have
come no less than six hearty endorsements
from members of the national house of rep
resentatives.
All were willing that their experience
should be published, believing rightly that
they might thus do good to others.
In these columns have already been pub
lished the letters received from Congress
men Meredith, Bell, Grout and Powers.
Now comes a letter from Congressman
Robert Neill of Arkansas, as follows:
"My home is at Batesville, Ark. During
the last spring and summer my eldest
daughter, then II years of age was in very
poor health, suffering from general debil-
ity, nervous prostration and frequent slight
fevers. She had the best medical attention,
but apparently with little benefit. In the
latter part of September last, while still
feeble, she began the use of Paine's celery
compound, and improved in health con-
tinuously. In three months she had fully
recovered, and is now in perfect health. l

Two Horses.

The editor of the New York Chris
tian Advocate learned not long since
from a coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings. He writes:
Riding in friends carriage one day,
we noticed that the cOachman made con-
slant efforts to restrain one Of the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said, "What is the difference
between these horses, that you are con-
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?'
Said he: 1.-The one that whip can
not possibly overwork himself. 1 will
not say that he is lazy, but he is sc
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage 1t would be
impossible to whip him so hard that he
would hurt himself. The other can trot
a mile in less than 1926, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop
pod dead. Hot or cold, he does his best. -

A New Point In Insurance.

The ingenuity of some insurance COM
panies i'll devising ways and means fol
evading responsibility is equaled by
nothing OIL earth. A claim was recently
made against an accident insurance COM
pany for indemnity by physician who
had met with an injury in a very pecul-
lar fashion He had been i'll as the re-
suit of an accident received some time
previous, but was partly recovered.
While driving he was seized with a
spasm, and great exhaustion overcame
him. He stopped his horse and proceed
ed to administer Il hypodermic injection
of some powerful stimulant to which he
resorted i'll such emergencies. Just as
he was about to insert the needle his
horse started. The needle was driven
deep into the flesh, inficting a severe
and painful injury. He sued for indem.
nifty, he being disabled for 20 weeks
The judge dismissed the complaint on
the ground that the injury was not
caused through external violent and ac-
cidental means in the intent and pur-
pose of the policy. This decision will
strike the average thinking individual
as somewhat peculiar. If mishap due
to the sudden starting of horse is not
an accident, it might be interesting to
know how the word could be defined.

To postpone at s1ch vital time as this
regulating the nerves and purifying the

1t Has Been Known and Used For Thou
sands of Years.

sands of Years.
Possibly many of you suppose that
the umbrella is a modern invention, but
1t is not. Both as an emblem of rank
and as a protection from sun and rain it
is of very ancient origin. Though the
materials used in the manufacture have
been constantly changing, the general
construction of the frame has been
changed but little in thousands of years.
Egyptian and Ninevite sculptures of
the earliest dates have many representa-
tiOns of the umbrella, but it is invari-
ably in connection with royalty. 1t was
always held over the head of monarch
when he rode in his chariot and at his
great open air feasts In some of the
Hindoo sculptures Vishnu is represented
carrying an umbrella when going on a
visit to the Internal regions.
We find frequent references to the
umbrella in the Greek poets, for it's use
was quite fashionable among women of
high rank in Greece. In the middle ages
1t was an emblem of rank in the church
Umbrellas were carried over cardinals
and bishops in solemn professions, and
all of the large cathedrals owned one or
more umbrellas that were kept for use
on such occasions.
The Chinese adopted the umbrella at
a very early period in their history, and
for many centuries were the only people
that did not confne its use to the king
and princes of the blood However, they
permitted only men of wealth and high
position to carry them. The common
people protected themselves from the
elements by making their hats broad
and umbrella shaped.
From the time that they established
their empire the Japanese have made
much use Of the umbrella. 1t is alsC
used throughout India, but it is mark
of rank in Burma and Siam. One Of
the titles of the king of Burma is Lord
of the Twenty-four Umbrellas. He uses
white silk umbrellas, and no other per-
son is permitted to use a white one
The princes of the blood each have, as
a mark of distinction, two gilt UNI
brellas, with handles 10 or 10 feet i'll
length. The other officers of the state
have but one.
From early drawings it seems proba.

He has made it a rule that for all alb
sences from recitations his students
shall write out reasons in full why they
were away and what recitations We're
missed. One day DR.. Fisk received a
note as follows:
''On account of the earache, headache
stomach ache and cramps was unable
to attend algebra at s a. m., grammar
at 10 a. IN. and English at 8 p, m.
DR.. Fisk excused the student, but at
the same time took occasion to rebuke
him for not stating in his letter where

several women for the full amount it

fact that few if any women had an in
