The man who stands idly by and sees
the life fading out of his wife's face, sees
her health going, sees her becoming old
and faded and wrinkled when she should
still be in the perfect enjoyment of vigor-
Gus, useful health, is either less than a
man or else does not know of the one
remedy which will bring her back to
health and strength. Perhaps her hus-
band cannot persuade her to 60 to her
doctor, because she naturally breads the
inevitable ''examination'' and sIocal
treatments" He can persuade her, If
she needs persuasion, to take DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This truly wonder.
ful medicine has cured hundreds of
women after the best physicians have
failed. 1t has been in constant use and
tested every day for thirty years. 1t isn't
an experiment, there are no chances
about it. 1t is a certain cure for all
arrangements, Weaknesses, Irregularities
and displacements of internal organs
peculiar to women.

Wise Tony.


Recently, in a newspaper, I read an
account of an accomplished dog named
Tony. Tony lived somewhere in Cali
fornia, l believe, he had q passion for
American silver dollars. Let one be
thrown to him, and he would snap at it
eagerly, catching it in his teeth before i
could fall to the ground. And it was
impossible to deceive him. Before a
Mexican dollar, q trade dollar, a. five
franc piece, all his animation died out,
and he left it lying beside him untouched
refusing with passive contempt, to haye
anything to do with it. And it was the
same with a counterfeit piece. Tony's
peculiar gift began to be talked about in
the town where he lived, and it grew to
be custom to show him off so visitors. At
last a number of experts came together,
curious to test him. They Gang down a
great variety of coins, sone good and
some bad; some suoh excellent counter
feits that even a cleyer scinatiic eye
mlRub uo paTuOHou lOE mlbGaKl0R bn6m'
But Tony made no mistakes; he discrimi-
mated unerriagly. By and by his fame
grew to such proportions that he was
taken about as a side show, and for
years earned a handsome revenue. At
one time his master was receiving a
considerable sum of money in payment Of
a debt. One of the dollars given him
among the rest looked to him suspicious.
He threw it to Tony, who caught at 1t
unhesitatingly. Tony's master was
satisfied, put it into his till, and present.
ly sent the money to the bank. The
cashier returned the dollar to him, de-
claring it to be a counterfeit. Interested
to know whether Tony's instinct had
really failed him, the man took the
trouble to send the questionable piece to
the United States Treasury, and in a few
days word came back that 1t was a good
dollarl-Selected.

The Ring in the Well.

Once upon a time a king hired two
men to do a days work for him. After
settling with them about the wages he
set them to work to fill q basket
with water from a we'll nearby, and said
he would come back in the evening to
see what they had done. They vent to
work. But after one or two buoketfuls
had been poured in the basket one man
said. whats the good doing this work +?
The water runs out of the basket as fast
as we put 1t in"
The other man said, THAT'S true, but
the work is our masters, and be gives us
our wages. We ought to do what he
says"
But the first said, "No, I'm not going
to do such foolish work" And he threw
down his bucket and went away
The other man kept on working, and
about evening the we'll became empty.
Looking down into it he saw something
bright at the bottom. He let down the
bucket once more and drew up a beauti-
full diamond ring.
Now l know the wisdom of the kings
plan. If the ring had been brought up
before the we'll was dry, it would have
stayed 10 the basket when it was poured
out of the bucket. This work was not
FOOLISH after ALL"
When the king came he told the man
he could keep the ring. aud II know that
| can trust you now," said the king.
'for you have proved faithful even in this
small thing"
Very often in life we see some things
that seem to have no more use than
pouring water in a basket. We have to
go to school, and we have to learn les
sons, and we have to 60 to bed early lust
when we want to stay up, and we have to
stay in just when we want to go out; but
in all these things the precious jewel of
good health and good heart and good
thought will be found after a while.
When We grow older we will find many
more things that we don't quite see the
use of. But we may be satisfied that the
great king of heaven has ordered them,
and they are wise, and maybe some day
we will see the value Of them. But
meanwhile we must 60 along doing our
duty as best we oaD.-HslgfM Thoughts.

THANKSGIVING.
AN OLD POEM BY ROBERT HERR1cB

40 hnh1Ch
Lord, thou hast given me a cell
Wherein to dwell;
A little house, whose humble roof
Is weather.proof;
Under the spars of viii Oh 1 lie,
Both soft and dry;
Where thou. my chamber for to ward,
Hast set a guard
Of harmless thoughts, to watch and keep
Me while l sleep.
Low in my porch, as is my fate;
Both void of state !;
And yet the threshold of my door
Is worn by the poor.
Who thither come and freely get
Good words or meat.
Like as my parlor. so my hall
And kitchen small
A little buttery and therein
A little bin,
Which keeps my little loaf of bread
Unchipt, unfead.
Some brittle sticks of thorn or briar
Make me a fire,
Close by whose living coal 1 sit
And glow like it.
Lord. 1 confess, too, when 1 dine,
The pulse is thine,
And all those other bits that be
There placed by thee.
The worts, the purslane, and the mess
Of water-cress,
Which of thy kindness thou hast sent;
And my content
Makes thee and thy beloved beet
To be m ore sweet.
IT'S thou that W my glittering hearth
With guiltless mirth,
And giv's me wassa1l bowls to drink, 90
Spiced to the brink,
Lord, tits thy plenty-dropping hand
LAT soils my land,
And giv'st me for my bushel sown
Twice ten for one
Thou mak'st my teaming hen to lay
Her egg--each day
Besides my healthful ewes to bear
The twins each year;
That while the conduits of my kline
Run cream for wine;
All these and better thou dost send
Me to his end
Thai / should render, for.my part
A Thankful heart;
Which, fired with incense, 1 resign
AS wholly thine
But the acceptance, that must be
My Christ, by thee.

Take the small sprocket wheels and
chain from an old worn binder or
other farm machinery, and gear it two
to one; that is, the lower or crank
shaft wheel must have twice as many
cogs as the n on the stone shaft.
Use a stone twenty or more inches in
diameter, and be sure to get a good
one. An Amherst is better than a
Berea, for all purposes. If geared
higher than two to one, it will urn
hard, and if much lower it will not
turn fast enough. 1t is the fast motion
that cuts. One may find an excellent
