GREATNESS UNDERvALUED.

Shakespeare, Scott and Mrs. Siddons We're
Not Wonders Once.
In these modern days, when the most
extravaganza laudations are paid by lit
tie cliques to little poets and mediocre
actors, and the language of eulogy Is
exhausted on what seems very small
provocation, it is difficult to picture
time when not only the minor bard and
the second class actors were severely
dealt with, but even the best and great
est were exposed to irreverent criticism.
Robert Greene, who, however, was in
the same line of business (''wrote him.
self''), declared his contemporary
Shakespeare to be "an upstart crow,
who, in his own conceit, was the only
shakescene in the country" Dryden
wrote of the bard of Avon: "He writes
In many places below the dullest writ
ers of our or any preceding age. Never
did any author precipitate himself from
such heights of thoughts to such low
expressions. He is the Janus Of poets,
and you have scarcely time to admire
one face ere you despise the other. -
Coming nearer to our own times, it
is generally, but quite enormously, sup
posed that the Waverly novels were re-

WHAT Is RHEUMATISM?
More Prevalent than for
Many Years.
Sudden Changes of Temperature

a Dartmouth Professor Finds an I'm
failing Cure for the Ai1ment.
Rheumatism is more prevalent in Mount
Holly than for many years.
When this disease fastens on an indi-
vidual, he generally knows what is the
trouble The Inflammation, soreness and
pain, in combination with chills, coated
tongue, loss of appetite and swelling of
the joints, tell plainly that this is rheu-
matism.
ITO quote the Medical World, 'the "a
tent becomes pitifu object of suffering,
helpless and incapable of movement j.
and possibly an eventual martyr to a
chronic state of the disease. which will
shatter his usefulness, though it spares
his life. Perhaps, though, the heart and
its belongings are fatally involved, as not
infrequently happens.
But what is rheumatism
Physicians opinions vary. Some say
one thing and some another. Yet all
agree that poison gets into the system,
and rheumatism results.
The immediate causes are cold and
moisture, and sudden changes of tempera-
ture, acting upon those who are weak or
specially disposed to the disease. 1t
should be regarded as a warning indica-
ton of low state of health. and the first
twinge of pain or stiffness of the muscles
ought to be carefully placed under trea'-
ment.
Rheumatism can be relieved by Paine's
celery compound, a purely vegetable ex-
tract whose efficacy in rheumatism was
discovered by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth.
This compound strengthens the system,
restores vigorous nerve power, and regu-
lates the circulation, thus driving out the
rheumatic poison.
The best proof of its value is the good it
has done. Though known for compare
lively short time, there probably is not a
city or town in this state where it has not
effected a cure. That it is all that is
claimed for it, is being daily demonstrated
Many haye thrown away their crutches
and now walk briskly and erect. without
pain or suffering, solely through the use
of this celery compound.
All lovers of the good of humanity will
rejoice that at last there is a positive and
reliable way to cure rheumatism and re-
lieve suffering.
What reason then has one for suffering
with rheumatism or neuralgia, or allow
ing friend to limp with pain?

An Ancient Prayer.

Old John Ward, who was pilloried
by Pope in the "Dunciad, and who
actually stood in the pillory in the year
1897. when he was said to have been
worth e2O0. 900. was, nevertheless, a
pious man. He had large estates in
London and Essex and did not omit to
pray for their welfare in the following
manner: 80 Lord, l beseech thee to
preserve the two counties of Middlesex
and Essex from fire and earthquake,
and as I have mortgage in Hartford
shire beg of thee likewise to have an
eye of compassion ON that county, and
for the rest of the counties deal with
them as thou pleasest "-Household

Pomelo Described.

[ saw question a few weeks ago
about Pomelos. The Amantium and
Triumph are both I should think Or
ange crosses, both the skin and pulp
being yellower than in the ordinary
Pomelo, while the leaves too, are
more like those of an orange. They
are both very good to ship early, but
will not keep late like the common
Pomelo, as they are apt to dry up.
[ should say ship them before Christ
mas or not much after. The Aman-
tium is larger than Triumph and
nearly round, while Triumph is apt to
be pear-shaped. Both are very heavy
bearers, especially Amantium.
Pernambuco is a true Pomelo, it is
later and more acid, the fruit is large
and rather fattened, quality V. G. 1t
is a strong grower and bears young.
I think it will prove very good varie-
ty, especially for shipping late in the
spring. [ am also trying Seedless,
Josselyn, Walter, Improved, Royal,
Pink Tresca, Annoy and White Sahar-
anpur from India, the last named be-
ing the strongest grower of any, but
unluckily very thorny. [ have fruited
however, but few of these kinds, so
cannot give an opinion of them yet.

Although cabbage takes up but lit
