WORDS OF WISDOM.

The sin that looks the safest is the
surest to kill.
1t is more important to bear good
fruit than much fruit.
If the gossip would think more, her
tongue would get more rest.
There is DO such thing as commit
ting one sin and stopping there.
The poorest man may give as much
as the richest, ii he will give all he
can.
A wooden bread plate will be re-
membered longer than souvenir tea
spoon.
If you would know what it means
to be rich, find out that it is blessed
to give.
The shiftless man is always away
from home when a good. opportunity
knocks.
The man most in need of mercy, is
the one who will have no mercy on
himself. -.
Too many people aresinging, "Scat-
ter sunshine" aud waiting for some
body else to do it,.
A blind nau's opinion of the sun is
based on what he has learned from the
earth with his cane.
To things which you bear with i'm
patience. you should accustom your
self, and by habit you will bear them
well.
The reason why SO few marriages
are happy, is because young ladies
spend their time in making nets, not
in making cages. -.
Character is measured by the dis.
tance travelled from the starting point,
and everything depends upon whether
the progress has been up stream or
down.
A generous friendship no cold
medium knows, burns with one love,
with one resentment glows, one should

friend must hate the rinan that Injuries

Suffering is On accident. It does
not matter whether you and suffer.
"Not enjoyment and not sorrow" is
our life, not sorrow any more than en-
ioyment, but obediences and duty.
II duty brings sorrow let it bring sor-
row. r.
Let US ever remember that he who
lives for self and self alone is a. ire,
whilst he who renders honest loving
servics to his fellows, though he be
poor and an outcast, unhonored and
unsung, is to all eternity noble sue
cess.
Some people scorn to bo taught.
others are ashamed of it, as they would
be of going to school when they are
old; bat it is never too late to learn
what it is always necessary to know.
And it is no shame to learn go long as
nre ignorant-that is to soy, go long
as we live.

New Wave Motor.

A new wave motor, invented by Mr..
Morley Fletcher, civil engineer OF
London, has recently been expert.
mented with in Dover harbor, it is
sad, with encouraging results. A
floating buoy as it rises and falls with
the waves operates the plungers OF
two pumps placed beueath it, the
stroke varying with the size of the
waves from one i1oh to four feet. The
water thus pumped under high pres.
sure is conveyed ashore by. pipes and
can then be utilized in running q water
wheel or hydraulic motor. A buoy

THEKAvA-KAvA SHRUs and proDapiy was
(Piper Aslhys.icum.) used for centuries
by the natives before it's extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of uuiniue from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
It is a wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. It
acts directly upon the blood aud kid
neys, and is true specific, Just as qui-
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers OF the
gospel, we'll known doctors and business
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York Weekly World Of Sept. 10th.
the testimony Of Rev. w. B. Moore, D: D., OF
Washington, D. c. was given, describing his
wears OF suffering from Kidney disease and
Rheumatism. aud his rapid cure by Alkavis:
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use OF Alkavis
Kew. John H. Watson, ofSupset, Texas, minister
of the gospel of thirty years service, was struck
down at his post of duty by Kidney disease
After lowering between life and death for two
months and oil his doctors having failed. he
took Alkavis, and was completely restored to
health and strength and is fuldIlng his duties as
minister OF the gospel. Mr.. r. c. Wood prom
(. inent attorney Of Lowell, Indiana, was cured OF
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease Of ten
years standing, by Alkavis. Mr.Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise len times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un-
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young. of Kent, Ohio writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain. that she was about to give
up in despair wiien she found AlIavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar to wonanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 424 Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy. and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment

The Young Heathen.

The fve-year-old heathen had been
taken to the big folks church. The
ceremony of communion was being
performed. He was much interested
in it, especially when the minister
arose and began solemnly: 80 Lord,
it is very meet and right, etc.
This is the account of it which he
gave to his devout little sister when he
got home;
"Then the minister got up and took
drink of wine, and then he groaned
and said!
no Lord, it is very weak. '"--Buf-
