A Use

Mary Stanley, the Dean of Westmin.
ster's elder sister, gave herself for
more than a quarter Of a century to the
work of benefiting the poor of London.
She worked on the lines, then new, now
old, of helping them to help themselves.
She found employment for them,
taught them p~rovident habits, and to
improve their homes.
She took a large contract to supply
the British army with shirts, In order
to give employment to n number OF
poor women, and managed personally
a Penny Bank, which had as many as
a thousand depositOrs at a time. The
depositor rs she came forward received
a nosegay, and went away with the
stimulating thought:
well, | must be somebody, If Miss
Stanley remembers me-
A friend, thinking of starting a slmil-
ar bank in another part of London.
went to Mary Stanley to talk about the
dangers and difficulties of the proposed
organization.
MY DEAR said the practical woman.
"if you stand counting the difficulties
when there Is n good work before you,
you will never do anything that Is
worth doing all your life. Only begin.
begin, begin, and the difficulties will all
disappear"
The Penny Bank founded by Mary
Stanley still tlourishes in Westminster,
a memorial of her energy, kindness
and wisdom.

Fiends.

The author of 'Chats With Celebri-
ties" MIR. Guild, says of the demand
upon Longfellow for his autograph:
I remember one very pleasant party
at the poets dinner table, at which Mr..
Monti, Professor E. N. Horsford and
myself were present. when Mr.. Long
fellow related a number of amusing
anecdotes respecting applications that
were made to him for autographs. He
was very kind to autograph seekers and
used to keep in a little box upon his
writing table a number Of slips upon
which we're written, Yours very truly,
Henry ". Longfellow." One of these
would be sers to the applicant by a
member OF his family to whom he passed
over their requests.
But the autograph seekers were not
always satisfied with o mere signature,
and he often sent a verse from one of
his poems signed with his name. The
most remarkable request, however, came
from a lady in Boston, who, the poet
said, sent him by express a package Of
$50 blank visiting cards, with q letter
requesting that be would inscribe his
name Oh each Of them the next day, as
she was to have a grand reception at
which a number Of literary people
would be present, and she wished to
present each one of her guests with the
poets autograph.
This was too much for even Longfel-
lows good nature and would seem to be
hardly credible had l not heard it from
the poets own lips.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least II dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
In an its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature In doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Old Sol Licks Up Millions of Tons o
Water.

water.
Some appreciation of the mighty
force of moving water may be had by
simply watching the flow of Il great
river like the Missouri. 1t carries along
In the current vast quantities of drift
wood and Ice, and 1t is mixed with tons
of fine sediment, which Is being carried
on to the Gulf of Mexico. An Ice gorge
Is a dangerous thing. No bridge or
dan car withstand a gorge that COM
pletely stops the passage of water. The
force of a river is almost Irresistible.
The power of the sun Is the only
thing that is potential against the pow
er of moving water. Evaporation of
water Is due to the suns rays. The air
currents are caused by the heat coming
from the sun. All II II weather is due
to the sun, influenced in some degree
by local conditions. The water in the
air Is suspended there because of the
warmth of the suns rays, and it rises
or falls by reason of the variations in
heat and sunshine. The circulation of
water through The rivers and back
again from the sea in air currents is all
due to the sun, directly or indirectly.
Evaporation goes on continually, but
In different degrees, according to local
ity. A French meteorological estimates
that the quantity of water turned into
vapor by the sun in the Mediterranean
sea alone on a hot summer day Is not
less than 5,2S0,0O0, 900 tons. What the
evaporation from land surface is can
not be determined, but it is certain that
by far the greater part of the water
which falls upon the earth In the tenn
perate and torrid returns again
directly to the clouds. The annual rain
fall in Iowa averages more than three
feet, and the earth receives more than
100000 tons of water every year Oh
every square mile. This water must
get away. But little Of 1t goes deer
into the earth to follow the subter
ranean channels to outlets nearer the
sea. But n small part of 1t runs direct
ly into the rivers, for such a vast guam.

far beyond their capacity. The SUI
does Its work and evaporation goes OF

part of the water which has fallen.

, Books which Come High.

A writer in a critical review says
that one-half of the book buying public
does not know what the other half
buys. All the books that are published
are by no means to be found in the
bookstores. The most beautiful and
costly books never find their way into
the shops at all, are not sent out for re-
view and are known to a very limited
number of people. Immense sums are
yearly spent on the making of such
books, which bring from 800 to 81, 900
each. These expensive volumes are not
sold in the ordinary way. but entirely
by subscription, and the business OF
selling them in the United States is in
the hands of about half a dozen men.
who neither sell nor attempt to sell
anything else. Their season is short,
but the profits are large, and they live
at the most expensive hotels and drive
about luxuriously in broughams with q

Where Princes Are Sacred.

When a young prince of Japan wishes
TO learn the mysteries of chirography,
young maidens bring paper, others make

The master expresses admiration by
gesture and face. for no words must be
spoken by him to the prince, his mouth
even being bandaged that his breath
MAJ not blow upon the face of the
prince. The teacher must move about
In the quietest manner and give com

GONE MER

One ripe summer, fresh and fair, has
gone glimmering. What with rain and
breeze and fair sun, the harvest has left us
grain enough to feed the world, and hard
times are broken by a kindly hand. But
autumn changes come, and we cannot be
too s%elf-content not to guard against what
autumn brings. 1t is the changeful tenn
perature of midday warmth and night and
morning chill, from the dampness of dews
or vapors cast adrlft ON eastern winds.
With the breath of such comes back to very
many old-t;me physical troubles of pains
and aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, soreness
and stiffness. This is q crop not spoken OF
in a farmers almanac, but it must be cared
for. else it will lay waste and grow misery.
ST. Jacobs Oil is a reaper and binder; it
reaps the field of pain and binds up and
cures. There is no bodily pain it won't re-
lieve, and to the whole group of rheumatic
pains, it is a certain and specific cure. Let
not the bounties that have been reaped be
marred by misery and pain. st. Jacobs Oil
Is the helper to enjoy the better times.
