TWO ONGS.

One woman's voice with clear. true note
Moved the whole world at will;
In golden letters her name they wrote
As nations exto!led her skill.
But worshipped by all theimpatient crowd,
Her smile had tinge af care,
And her glance was cold as they called aloud
For the song and the singer lair.
Another melody. soft and low,
A simple, old-fashioned lay.
Was sung in cot where the lamps dull

Kept the shadows scarce at bay.
And the JOY that is truest and the best
Fate gave for the toilers part,
When the baby smiled as it sank to rest,
To thesong from its mothers heart.

WHERE DICKENS LIVED

The Noted House Where He Turned the
Financial Corner.
The homes Of men of place, power,
and position have always had. as is
natural, some peculiar fascination for
the world at large. Lately the build
er has been busy upon house that
is situate Immediately. to the south
east of Marylebone church, London, in
a singularly quiet little street called
Devonshire terrace. That house was
the residence of Charles Dickens, from
the year 1889 to the year 1850. HE
cared for Devonshire terrace" says
Forster, perhaps for the bit OF ground
attached to it; and it was with regret
he suddenly discovered, at the close CT
1847, that he should have to soon re-
sign it.
DevOnshire terrace has the unique
distinction of being the place which
saw Dickens turn the financial corner
of his life, that occasion so fervently
desired of all, so long in coming to
some, and so vague an expectation to
many. In the autumn of 1915. after
his return to England from abroad, a
birth and q death occurred at Devon
shire terrace. On Oct IS his fourth
son was born there, and shortly after
ward his eldest raven there also died.
HE kept his eye to the last upon the
meat" writes Dickens, "as it roasted,

q Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.
It is no doubt true that next to con-
sumption. more people die yearly from
diseases Of the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease is the most dangerous Of all
maladies, because it usually has made
much progress before the victim is
aware OF its existence. 1t is. there
fore, with great pleasure we commend
to our readers the recent discovery
In East India Of the Kava-Kava shrub.
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases OF the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most remarkable. Many who have sun
cred from the most severe forms OF the
disease, have been completely cured IN
from twenty to forty days by the
Kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World of Sept 10th, the testi-
mony of Rev. w. B. Moore, d. D., Of
Washington, D. c., was given, describ-
ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkayis. Rev. John H. Wat
gospel of thirty years service. was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering be-
tween life and death for two months,
and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength and is
fulfilling his duties as minister of the
gospel. Mr.. R. c. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Lowell. Indiana, was cur
ed Of Rheumatism, Kidney and Blad-
der disease of ten years standing by
Alkavis. Mr.. Wood describes himself
rs being in constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten 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
q few weeks by Alkavis. The testi-
mony is undoubted and really wonder
full. Any of our readers who are SO un-
fortunate as to suffer from Kidney dis
orders or Rheumatism should write tc

Fourth avenue, New York. who will
gladly send them free by mail prepaid

Benin In 1X2O.

Benin In 1890.
Civilization in Benin has clearly ret
regarded rather than advanced during
the last seventy or eighty years.
Among the few travellers who made
their way to Benin in the earlier years
OF the century was Mr.. John King, a
lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who
visited the place in 1920. The traveller
was received in a singular, though
AMIGA BILE, manner by the King of Be-
min. During the interview. one Of the
Kings arms was stretched out hori-
zontally and supported by a great Of
ficer. and the nail on one finger of each
hand had been suffered to grow to a
great length to indicate that his high
station placed him above the necessity
of labor" The King had at that time
1000 wives, but some of these he would
give upon occasion to any subject who
had performed exceptional service.
The practice of making human sacri-
fees was uniformly denied by the ma
tives. and Lieutenant King does not
seem to have witnessed any scenes of
bloodshed while he remained in the
country. The traveller was introduced
also to the Queen-Mother, who lived
in a separate court just outside the city.
The Queen Mother, like her son the
King, had one of her arms supported
by an attendant. She entertained
Lieutenant King with kola-nut and
other refreshments, and asked him in
Vulnerable questions. The Queen
Mother of Benin was dressed in clothes
of European silk, and she wore q
broad brimmed lace hat on her head.
Altogether, the city, with it's wide,
straight streets and meat and hand
some houses" appears to have made
very favorable impression upon the
lieutenant. according to whom Euro
peans were at the date of his visit
still considered as gods by the ma
tives of Benin" We wonder what they
think now.

the discovery was soon apparent, and
the precious volume was taken to Pisa
