Breath


nam St, Providence, RI, says:
"In 1896 l was taken with thegrip
and was confined to my bed for
eight long weeks. The disease left
me SO Frustrated that l could not
help myself in the least. 1 was
troubled greatly with shortness of
breath which would be brought on
by the slightest exercise or by
dampness in the air. had no APP
petite and was unable to keep any
thing but the lightest food on my
stomach.
al did not seem to be getting any
better and SO changed my doctor
but still received no benefit from
the treatment. One day l saw an
advertisement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and made
up my mind to give them trial. |
noticed an Improvement from the
first and had taken but two Or three
boxes when my appetite returned
and felt very much stronger. l
was much encouraged and con-
tinued taking the pills. In a short
time the shortness of breath be-
came less frequent and was soon
as we'll as ever.
81 cannot tell how thankful am
that | took DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and l earnestly re-
commend them to any one suffer-
ing from the after-e fleets of the

Found but Once in a While.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like song,
But the man worth while is the one who
will smile
When everything goes wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises of
earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice Of sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue,
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor Of
earth
Is the one that resists DESIRE
BY the cynics, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-day
They make up the items OF life..
But the virtue that c0nquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile
1t is these that are worth the homage of
earth,
For we find them but once in while.

Oueen Bess and Her Sailors.

Queen Elizabeth personally liked her
sailors and their way of life. She had all
a wonan's love OF the adventurer. They
brought her money, fnery and fattery,
and she dearly loved all three. But they
suited not only her tastes, but her policy.
There was mutual understanding be-
tween them. If, for reasons Of state, 1t
was necessary to disown their privateering
feats, even when they were triumphantly
successful they must reckon on her hard
words and black looks. Il 1t was safe to
acknowledge them, they were rewarded
with open smiles and favors. Thoroughly
characteristic, for example, was her treat
ment OF Francis Drake when the ever
glorious Pelican came home, leaving q
wake behind her which went right round
the world He had laughed at Spanish
protests, plundered Spanish treasure,
towns and ships, with the light hearted
audacity of the gentleman bandit, and
anchored at Plymouth with an Ell Dorado
In his hold and the shouts Of admiring
England in his ears.
Mendoza, the Spanish ambassador, furi-
ously demanded that "the dragon" should
be forced to disgorge his plunder. But 1t
suited the queen to teach the Spaniard q
lesson-that If his master encouraged Irish
rebels she would encourage English priVa-
teers. Drake was the lion Of her court.
She ostentatiously walked about with him
In the public gardens. The Pelican was
the scene Of royal banquet, and Gloriana
made rough Francis one of her knights

POWER OF ORATORY.
Good Voice and Fine Presence Count
p. 80 For Much.

Good Voice and . Fine Presence Count
p. -, For Much.
1t isa fine thing that words have power
to burn and that in the fame of eloquence
q deal Of trumpery and stuffy notions are
readily consumed. 1t has been said that
genuine oratory Is gone but now and then
the spirit Of the mightiest power that
moves masses of men shows its everlasting
vitality In notable way. With sincere
personal conviction to support him man
with good voice and that gift Of adding
phrase unto phrase which is indefnable
may enchain great convention, hold thou
sands Of men plant to his thought and
feelings, or he may charm and cheer his
hundreds in a banqueting hall. ~,
The secret Of genuine oratory, Of the sort
that moves and stirs all hearers to respon-
sive emotion, is always to be found at the
center Of a storm Of honest feeling on the
part Of the orator. 1t is concealed In the
hidden places Of the interior life and ,is the
more effective when its restraint Is shown
even in the whirl Of impassioned words or
noble marshaling of phrase after phrase.
Private views and narrow contentious, per-
sonal wishes, never have chance for ex-
position In oratory that moves men and
women. 1t must express large principles
largely, or Its influence never remains, nor
has the fame of any orator endured except
of those who spoke for the largest convic-
ton and desire of the mind Of man.
The earliest movement which freed Bos-
ton from England, although Lord North
used to assure his countrymen that "no
other province will in the least countenance
the rebellious Bostonians," was kept alive
by the orators Of Boston. The orations on
the massacre, delivered in the Old Brick
church, on the site of Cornhill square, or
at the Old South church, were attended by
immense crowds Of people. 1t has been
we'll said that these patriotic orations are
q protective shield to our constitution.
"There are few men Of consequence among
us who did not commence their careers by
an oration on the 9Th Of March," wrote
John Quincy Adams. And in these days,
when, by aid Of descendants Of the "rebel-
Hous Bostonians," the stars and stripes
have waved in peace at Aldershot, oratory
Is lending it's time honored aid in the pro-
motion of arbitration between the English
speaking nations.
To the day and the deed
Strike the harpstrings Of glory.
Let the tongue of the eloquent
Hallow the story.

Food and Character.

That certain kinds Of food affect man
mentally, morally and physically is well
known. It is by no means impossible that
porridge has contributed largely to the
characteristics of the Scotch; that it makes
their men brave, brawny and shrewd, and
their women blithsome and bonny, and
their whole nation pious. A professor Of
physiology insists that the inferiority of
the Celts is due to their universal use Of
the potato as the chief staple Of diet. He
says that no man can live on potatoes and
amount to anything. An exclusive diet OF
potatoes has no doubt contributed largely
to many Of the characteristics Of the Irish.
Beef and beer through many generations
have no doubt had their influence on the
Englishman. They have made him stub
born, opinionated, self assertive and q good
fighter. His intellect, like his beer, is both
strong and heavy, and not intrequently
tinged with bitterness. The French, with
their notable yariegated diet, are equally
whimsical in their minds. This Is also
the case with the Americans, who have
perhaps the most versatile minds as we'll as
the most abundant bill Of fare Of any ma
tion. We will not go so far as to define
which is the cause and which is the effect,
but we insist that the diet Of the average
Londoner is far from being the best for his
physical and mental health.-London Ho-

PLAYING For Q Deaf Man.

A long and q bitter struggle he had,
this Anton Rubinstein, before he secured
his fame and his fortune. He used to de-
light in showing his friends the portrait
of an old man who once bought all the
tickets that were sold for one OF his ju-
yenile reoitals. And he had even better
story than this. At Mini Novgorod,
shen he was only 13, he gave a concert
which attracted an audience of only one.
Brilliantly the little fellow played for two
hours but not the slightest applause was
Forthcoming. Then he stopped and ad-
dressed his audience politely, asking If his
playing did not deserve little encourage
ment. The dilettante leaned forward to
oatoh the words addressed to him, and the
vounp pianist was stupeaed to find that
his only listener was as deaf as postl
This singular person used to frequent the
concerts to conceal his infrmity.-Cham.

PASSING OF THE GYPSY.
Romany Ryes Gradually Disappearing
49, From the Haunts Of Mon.

Romany Ryes Gradually Disappearing
From the Haunts Of Mon.
The gradual disappearance and extinc-
ton Of that picturesque vagabond, the
genuine, simon pure gypsy, has caused
much comment, but the reason for the dy-
ing out of the old race Is somewhat diff
Quilt to find. There are probably more
rowing, wandering vagabonds In the world
today than ever before, but real Romany
is seldom found even In England, where
he formerly flourished. In this country
real gypsies were never numerous and are
today less 80 than ever before. They are
occasionally met with, but the bands are
either very small, or are composed Of horse
trading scamps and fortune telling STA
kris, " who have not drop Of the Romsny
blood In their veins.
In the old days the gypsy impressed him.
Velf and his personality on the literature
and the art of the countries In which he
roamed. 1t was poor novel that did not
