Never Awake.

Some people will never wake up till
the last horn blows, and then they'll
ask if that's the horn for dinner. De-
lays are dangerous and ruinous. Thou
sands can say If they hadn't put off an
opportunity, they would have been rich
and happy. Some never know they
have rheumatism until crippled by it,
and oil the while in pain, thinking it
will pass off. But st. Jacobs Oil never
delays, and is always wide awake. 1t
goes straight to its work of cure in a
business way, and cures rheumatism
in any form and at Its worst stage. It's
q live remedy.

In the presence of this disappointment,
three hypothesis present themselves.

that the philosophers body was taken to

sarcophagus which lies beneath the dome

SPINNING WHEEL.
THE KICKER.

THE KICKER.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking if he's busy,
Kicking at delay,
Thus the chronic kicker
Fills his life with woes,
browning, grumbling, WranglnS,
Everywhere he goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault;
Every kind of pleasure
He is sure to halt.
ScoWling at the children,
Growing at his wife;
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife.
Kicking if the weather
Happens to be dry;
X cking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky.
Kicking in the summer,
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter
Thon he'd have it warm.
Kicking every mealtime,
Caring at the meat;
Often he is saying,
Nothing fit to eat"
Kicking when he's reading,
eGrumbling at the light;
Now and then denouncing
Everything in sight.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking in the evening,
Kicking should he pray.
Kicking when he's thinking,
Kicking when in bed,
Wonder if he'll keep on
Kicking when he's dead.

A Queens Ready Tongue.

A story is in circulation at the court
of The Hague concerning the young
Queen of Holland which is destined to il
lustrate that she fully shares the pro
nounced aversion of her subjects for Ger
many. and prefers in every particular the
French. It seems that ON the last oc-
casion when she met Emperor William
she insisted on responding in French to
the remarks which he addressed to her
in German. and, on his asking her why
she did not speak German, she tartly re-
piled that it was merely because she pre-
ferred French.

How To Wash with Ease.

That washing cannot be satisfactorily
done with a scant supply of hard water
and inferior soap is not always clear to
housekeepers, and yet it is the cause of
oft-repeated failure. To wash properly,
assert the clothes. Put the linens first in
a tub of hot water, rub with Ivory Soap,
Wash the colored pieces through clean
suds in the same way. When dry, sprin-

carefully with well-heated irons.
