"This is the first time you ever refused

Can't Tell Their Husbands Apart.

"Jim Hisey, aged forty-eight, is q
prosperous grain dealer in Yale He
has a wife, two sons and daughter.
Will Hisey, aged forty eight, his
brother, lives at Sparta. He is also
married. The two men are twins, and
all through life have been the living
duplicates of each other So near
alike are they that even their wives
cannot tell them apart. They dress
alike, their voices are alike and their
hair and mustaches have the same
color and curls. When boys they had
to be tagged so that their parents and
teachers would know the difference.
When Jim gets crick in the back
Will is liable to have the same com
plant, and when Will gets therheuma-
tism Jim also gets it precisely in the
same place. They were formerly both
engaged in the milling business and
served an apprenticeship under the
same man. They were born in west
ern Ontario, their parents being Jacob
and Betsy Hisey Jim's wife has only
one way in which lie can tell her hus-
band from his brother. He has slight
curve in one of his fingers, which has
to be held up in full view. Then he
must give password before he is re-
ceived into full fellowship of the home
circle. Many amusing instances OF
mistaken identity are told of the two.

An interesting novelty at the Paris
Exposition will be the Mareorama,
which will give visitors the illusion of
q voyage by steamer from Marseilles
TO Constantinople, with calls at Tan
gier, Algiers, Naples, Venice, Alexan-
dria and Symrna. They will be stand
ing on the steamer, which will appear
to be in the sea, even to the rolling of
the vessel and the salt breezes. The
unrolling of the canvases will make
them think the ship is moving, the
principle being the same as that which
makes railway passengers in stand
ing train think they are in motion
when another train passes. The voy-
age of the steamer will be diversified
by various scenes, such as meeting
feet of war vessels, tempest, with
thunder and lightning, sunrise, etc, =,
besides other curious incidents. Thus,
at Naples, for instance, natives will
climb ON board and perform the dances
of the country.

History of the National Capitol.

The cornerstone of the original Cap.
itol building, at Washington, was laid
September Is, 1898, by President
Washington, with Masonic ceremonies.
The north wing was finished in 1900
and the south wing in 1911. Awooden
passageway connected them. August
"a, 1914, the interior of both wings
was destroyed by fire, set by the
British. In 1918 the central portion
of the building was commenced and
was finally completed in 1927. The
cost of the Capitol up to 1927, includ-
ing the grading of grounds, altera'
tions, ETC., was so, 433, S44.13. The
cornerstone of the extensions was laid
on the Fourth of July, 1851, by Presi'

ing as orator. This work was COM
pleted in 1865. These extensions were
first occupied for legislative purposes
January 4, 1859. The old dome was
torn down and work commenced on
the new one in 1855. The present
structure, which is of cast iron, was
completed in 1865. The entire weight
of iron used is 5000. 200 pounds. The
statue which crowns the dome was put
in position December 2, 1864. 1t is
of bronze, and its correct designation
of Freedom. The height of the statue
is nineteen feet six inches, and il
weighs IA, 9S5 pounds. There is now
bill before Congress to cover it with
gold leaf. William Z. Curtis.

Ought Never to BE Condoned.

The families OF drunkards can never
condone Drunkenness nor get used to it;
and it is from their standpoint that Chris
tians must view the vice. The paliation Of
this crime Is too common; we are sick of
hearing these drunkards spoken of as hav-
ing weakness for drink--"lt is the poor
fellows only fault" she is just little too
ccnvivial." The dire reality is that the
vice OF drunkenness, gross sin as 1t Is
against ones self, is foul crime against
ones family, and the palmer the words
used to characterize 1t the better. 1t al
ways hangs like lowering cloud over the
wretch's home, aud his family cannot rid
themselves of the misery that 1t always
brings, nor OF the dread Of the terrible ca
lamities which are too often its further re-
suits.

while the meat is before the fire. Allow
,uarter of an hour to each pound ofmeat

close to the fire for about seven min
utes, then draw it further away. The
object of the fast cooking to start with
is to close up the pores of the meat

Tn. spr,pr. of Florida.

A short distance down the penin-
sula and below Jasper is Suwanee
Spring. 1t forms one of the principal
feeders of the river, and is a we'll
known favorite winter resort. II is
some distance from the railroad sta
ton, and tourists are taken thither in
an ancient "kinky" street car, and
their baggage ON fiat open car linked
behind
Suwanee Spring, like many of the
other large bodies of so-called springs
in Florida, is nothing more or less
than the coming to the surface of a
considerable sized underground river,
and, like many of these springs, that
at Suwanee is supposed to possess
valuable medicinal qualities, particu-
larly for diseases which affect the kid
neys and bladder.
The large springs of Florida are
among its greatest curiosities, and
many of them are wonderful for their
beauty and varied features. Almost
invariably they are clear as crystal and
very deep, some as much as eighty
feet. Many, like Suwanee and Green
Cove springs, are heavily charged with
sulphur, and others, like those at
Homasassa, with sulphur, iron and
magnesia. The waters are almost in
variably warm.
Besides the Suwanee Spring there
are others in the near vicinity, one a
few miles below, called High Springs,
and still third close beside the rail
road tracks at Juliette. This one is
quite large and of such remarkable
limpidness that from the railroad
tracks, more than hundred feet away,
fish may be plainly seen swimming
about in its depths. FLORIDA Letter

ing-Thc Man Who Saw Himself.
Here's hand to the boy who has courage
To do what he knows to be right;
When he falls In the way of temptation,
He has hard battle to fight.
Who strives against self and his comrades
Will find most powerful foe;
All honor to him IL he conquersl
A cheer for the boy who says "No"
There's many n battle fought daily
The world knows nothing about.
There's many n brave little soldier
Whose strength puts a legion to rout.
And he who fights sin single-handed
Is more OF hero, say,
Than he who leads soldiers to battle
And conqusrs by arms In the fray.
Be steadfast. my boy, when you re tempted.
And do what you know TO be right.
Stand firm by the colors of manhood,
And YOU will o'ercome In the fight.

In waging the warfare of life;
And God, who knows who are tho heroes,
Will give you the strength for the strife

Never Too Sure.

Against the probability or possibility OF
mischance or accident we can never be too
sure. But il we should stop to consider
how great is the chance of sudden death,
we would be made too timid and unhappy.
Caution is needed not to be foolhardy, and
precaution to know what is best to do when
an accident happens. One day this winter
two men were walking and one said:
"We're too timid in treading on slippery
places. 1 tread firmly and never think
aboEt them, and so escape fall" "Neyer
be too sure, J." said the other; "it is that that
throws you of and makes the fall the
harder" Just then they came upon a
place covered with thin snow, where kids
had been sliding. The first speaker Typed
and came down with his foot turned and
badly sprained his ankle. He was cripple
on crutches until short time ago, having
used many things without benefit. Up to
that time he had not used ST. Jacobs Oil,
which, when used, cured him completely,
so that he walks as usual. There is prob
ability that for the rest Of the season he
will walk cautiously, with the precaution
of having this great remedy ready for use

prove. When he had taken nine boxes he
was completely cured This famous blood

all his former expensive treatment failed
to accomplish. Mr.. Kemper says his ca
tarrh has entirely left him; he Is strong
again and weighs nine pounds more than
he ever did. He gives the pills the entire
credit. He is starting teaching again and
feels abundantly able to continue the
work. To prove that the above is true in
every respect, Mr.. Kemper made an affi-
davit as follows:
