oRANDMA's GLASSES.

Grandma Is puzzled. The dear old face
Is seeking her glasses In every place;
The futtering hands reach here and there
For the glasses the brown eyes always
wear. astF fU
Bonnie and Joe fly nimbly around
TO seek where those spectacles may be
found
Grandma is saying. in tones of fear:
II was reading-and laid them down right
here!'
Mischievous Fred. now reading book,
Looks luzily on from his cozy nook.
And watches the solemn hunt with glee,
While al wonder where those glasses can
be! fv
They scour every shelf. and scan each
chair
Through the hall. the kitchen and every
where.

Those glasses, where are theyY Theycan't

''It looks to me-" says mischievous Fred.
LAS though grandma has eyes on the top
of her head!' r
Sure enough" they laugh. and plainly

They behold those glasses in grandma's
hair!
She takes them down with smiling face.
And soon they are put In their proper
place.
Then the children laugh and dance
And the scene is repeated-perhaps, the

One of the Host Courageous Deeds

It is told of Roman sailor that in
trying to climb from small boat into
u ship he and his companions were
struggling to board and capture, he
was clinging to the ship with his right
hand, when it was cut off. He caught
hold again with his left, and TINT was
cut off, but not until he had driven hia
head up to the deck of the boat, and,
with both hands gone, he still chung
on with his chin and elbows, and 1t was
not till his head was struck off that he
fell back into the water. That WIS old
Roman fighting with vengeance, but
in the annals of our own navy there is
true story of still greater pluck, for our
hero used his head, and saved other in
the midst of his own awful suffering.

CHAIRS AS A LUXURY.
The Habit of sitting Down of COm-
parativeIy Recent Origin.


Most people believe that the habit Of
sitting down as practiced by themselves
is a common human habit, old as the
race itself, in no way associated with
civilization. But Frederick Boyle, who
seems to have one of those inquiring
minds that are not content to accept
things as they are without first tracing
causes and history, contends that sit
ting down is an acquired habit that
marks height of civilization.
He estimates that even at the present
day not more than ten per cent.,o hui
man kind practice sitting on our plan.
Men who do not sit have two attitudes
for resting; women use one of their
own. Squatting ION the heel" is ia
vored in India and China. In this posi-
ton the weight of the body falls upon
the toes, and to keep the balance com,
Portable the arms must hang over the
knees, the hands dangling. A European
trussed in this manner promptly feels
a pain in the calves, but he can UNDER
stand that habit makes it restful pos
ture. In fact, the golfers of England
use it altogether.
The cross-legged attitude is general
from Siam eastward through the Malay
countries. In the jungle men crouch,
the knees raised, the arms folded over
them, and the chin resting on the arm.
The women of that region rest upon the
floor with the knees bent sideways,
thus throwing the weight on the outer
part of one thigh.-a mighty uncom-
Portable posture to civilized eau
casian.
Chairs really seem to be no more nee
essary to the race than pianos.-Golden

the groom. who always wanted to do
the right thing. II confess l didn't
think of It at the time, but will agree
never again to forget it if you will also
kindly remember that she is my only
wife,"
Everyone agreed that it was a fair
proposition. but somehow it didn't seem
to soothe the old mans temper to any
appreciable extent.-Chicago Post.

Get q brad-awl or a half knitting
needle fastened into a stout handle of

and through the center hole in the tin.
Then wind the spool with piece of

unanimous consent" II asked, some
body shouts: MR. Speaker, l object"
That settles it. AS long as one mem.
Der objects there can be no "unani-
nous consent" and hence the bills can
not be considered.
Speaker Reed has decided that he will
not now appoint any of the committees
of the house. That power is placed in
his hands. The senate appoints it's COM
mittees by election; but the house Of
representatives confides that impor-
tant power to the speaker alone, and he
can appoint the committees when he
gets ready. Speaker Reed does not in
tend to appoint the committees for the
Fifty-fifth congress until the beginning
of the regular session of the congress
in December next.
The greatest number of people affect
ed by the failure of the speaker to APP
point the committees will be found
among the old soldiers, their families
and friends. The rules of the pension
office are strict. and apparently unjust,
in some cases. Consequently there are
many old soldiers who can never re-
ceive pensions unless they can secure
special acts OF congress. But no pri-
vate pension bin can be passed. except
by unanimous consent" because there
is no committee on pensions. Before a
pension bill can be considered in the
house it must be referred to the COM
mittee on pensions, and be favorably

A pretty anecdote is related of child
who was greatly perturbed by the dis.
covery that her brothers had set traps to
catch birds. Questioned as to what she
had done in the matter, she replied: Il
prayed that the traps might not catch
the birds" Anything else" Eyes"
she said. 81 then prayed that God
would prevent the birds getting into
the traps" and, as if to illustrate the
doctrine of faith and works, ~ went
and kicked the traps all to pieces.

From the Leader, Odcomd, 8. ID.
NJ. j. Emery, of Lower Brule, S. D., being
interviewed by a representative of the Leader
in regard to the effect of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People upon his invalid wife,
said:
"My wife was taken sick in the winter of
1894 with what the doctor called consump.
ton. She also suffered with severe attack
ofastbma, at times almost losing her breath
eve tried many different medicines pre-
scribed by the best medical skill we could
find without any apparent good effect.
eve read of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in
the Leader, and shortly after beginning their
use the improvement was marvellous. She
has used several boxes and has had but one oi
the asthmatic spells of losing her breath since
"She Is now enjoying good health and has
entirely quit the use of medicines. She had
been ailing for about five or six years, but
since taking the Pink Pills has not even suf-
fered from q cold.
az have recommended the pills to many
others, among them gentleman whose child
had st. Vitus' dance, and a few boxes stop
ped the complaint entirely. Many of my
neighbors have used the pills with good
results"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine

surrounded himself with almost all the COM

the esteem of his fellow men. His popular
| ity and standing therefore, made his cleo
! tion to the County TreasurerShip easy. His
work as County Treasurer, however, was
\ confning. Coming as he did from an active
outdoor life on the farm 70 the close and con-

quickly began to run down in health and to

they will be with all who will use them"
The reporter afterwards called upon VIM.

him gained the information that DR.. Will
