Sir John Brown. the cutlery manu-
facturer Of Sheffield, owed his title to
a visit to that city by the prince of
Wales while Sir John was mayor Of
Sheffield. That he is a snob of snobs
the following story proves; On the
occasion of his visit the prince leaned
his head against wall in the
billiard-room in his hosts house, leav-

stain Sir John had covered with glass
and surrounded by gold frame, plac-

WAITING

Far away BY the jasper sea.
Three forms are walking. side by side,
And now ard then they bend 70 gaze
over the ocean vide
And three OF us but walk and pray
Beside dark and boundIess sea;
we cannot pierce the radiant glow
That folds the other three.
They watch above the rolling world,
Waiting till one. at Gods command.
Shall cross the space that lies between
This and the further land
And, OH long for the years to pass;
And. Oh / cry for the time to be
When they who are watching with eager
eyes
Shall bend and beckon me.
So sang ] but few weeks ago,
when, through the silence, message
came,
And one Of US passed to the distant three.
Hearing with joy his name.
Four walk now by the Jasper sea,
Turning earthward their radiant eyes.
Where two Of us now, with yearning
hearts,
Look ever to Paradise.

To postpone at s1ch vital time as this

blood is a serious mistake. Men and
women distressed by nervous troubles or
the effects of impure blood cannot afford
now to lose q day before taking advantage
OF Paine's celery compound.
In order to avoid Disappointment accept
nothing but Paine's celery compound. A
clerk who tries to sell something else than
what people ask for is evidently not disin-
terested. He has an eye to profits more
than to the good of customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's eel
cry compound.
This has been shown time and time again
in cases where persons, too easily led, have
carried home something besides Paine's cell
cry compound, and have failed to get the
decided benefit they had hoped for.

Endorsement 1t ever received did not over
estimate or exaggerate III the least its I'M

A New Point In Insurance

The ingenuity of some insurance com.
panies in devising ways and means fo1
evading responsibility is equaled by
nothing on earth. A claim was recently
made against an accident insurance COM
pany fer Indemnity by physician who
had met with an injury in very pecul-
lar fashion He had been i'll as the re-
suit Of an accident received some time
previous, but was partly recovered
While driving he was seized with a
spasm, and great exhaustion overcame
him. He stopped his horse and proceed
ed TO administer hypodermic injection
of some powerful stimulant to which he
resorted il such emergencies. Just as
he was about to insert the needle his
horse started. The needle was driven
deep into the flesh, inficting a severe
and painful injury. He~sucd for indem,
nifty, lie Icing disabled for 90 weeks.
The judge dismissed the complaint on
the ground that the injury was not
caused through external violent and ac-
cidental means i'll the intent and pur-
pose Of the policy. This decision will
strike the average thinking individual
as somewhat peculiar If mishap due
to the sudden starting CT horse is not
an accident, it might be interesting to
know how the word could be defined.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and muco us surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The

TEO Horses.

The editor Ct the New York Chris
tian Advocate learned not long since
from ccachnan that horses are not
unlike human bciags He writes:
Riding il fricnd's carriage one day,
we noticed that the coaChman made con-
slant efforts to restrain enc Of the
horses and to hasten the other. As the
pair Were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said, "What is the difference
between these horses, that you arc con
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?'
Said he. 1.-THE one that whip can
not possibly overwork himself. l will
not say that he is lazy, but he is SC
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage, 1t would be
impossible to whip him so hard that he
would hurt himself The other can trot
q mile in less than 2:25, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop
pol dead. Hot or cold, he does his best. y

He has made it a rule that for all abb

shall write out reasons in full why they
were away and what recitations We're

note as follows:

stomach ache and cramps l was unable
to attend algebra at Il. M, grammar

the same time took occasion to rebuke
him for not stating in his letter where

sands Of Years.
Possibly many Of you suppose that
the umbrella is modern invention, but
it is not. Both as an emblem of rank
and as protection from sun and rain il
is Of very ancient origin Though the
materials used in the manufacture have
been constantly changing, the general
construction Of the frame has been
changed but little in thousands of years.
Egyptian and Ninevite sculptures of
the earliest dates have many representa-
tons of the umbrella, but it is inyari-
ably in connection with royalty. 1t was
always held over the head of monarch
when he rode in his chariot and at his
great open air feasts. In some of the
Hindoo sculptures Vishnu is represented
carrying an umbrella when going ON a
visit to the internal regions.
We find frequent references to the
umbrella in the Greek poets, for its use
was quite fashionable among women OF
high rank in Greece. In the middle ages
it was an emblem of rank in the church.
Umbrellas We're carried over cardinals
and bishops in solemn professions, and
all of the large cathedrals owned one Oh
more umbrellas that were kept for use
ON such occasions.
The Chinese adopted the umbrella al
a very early period in their history, anC
for many centuries were the only peopl,
that did not confine its use to the kinI
and princes of the blood However, they
permitted only men of wealth and higl
position to carry them. The common
people protected themselves from tn,
elements by making their hats broaC
and umbrella shaped.
From the time that they establishes
their empire the japanese have mad
much use of the umbrella. 1t is ais
used throughout India, but it is a mar
of rank III Burma and Siam. One O
the titles of the king of Burma is Lor,
of the Twenty-four Umbrellas. He use
white silk umbrellas, and no other per
son is permitted to use white one
The princes Of the blood each have, a
mark of distinction, two gilt um
brellas, with handles 10 or Is feet il
length The other officers of the stat
have but one.
From early drawings it seems proba
! bic that the umbrella was introduce
into Europe in the fourteenth century
but it did not come into general use III
