1t is ludicrously characteristic of Eng
lish taste that while Temple Bar, with
all its associations, was sacrificed in 1875
upon the pretext that it blocked up the
highway for traffic a contemplate pillar
surmounted by a dragon blocking the
way to a far greater extent was set up IL
1880 as memorial of Temple Bar. The
statues upon this memorial, representing
Queen Victoria and Albert Edward
prince of Wales, are by Boehm. While
Temple Bar itself might have been re-
erected as an entrance to the Temple gar
dens for $500, this absurd memorial" OF
it cost f10,696! Temple Bar was rebuilt
as the entrance to Sir H. B. Meux's
grounds at Theobalds, Waltham Cross, In

Both Rather FIippant.

There is a curious parallelism be-
tween two stories told respectively of
the late Mr.. Sturgeon and of Dean
Swift.
Mr.. Spurgeon, on hearing Of the dev-
astation wrought by an earthquake in
Essex, merely remarked, Il am glad to
hear that my county is moving at
last"
The dean of st. Patrfck's, Dublin,
was watching with a friend the roof
Of q building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one of the men vanished. Thereupon
the dean turned to his companion and
said, 81 like to see man go quickly
through his work"

1t is extremely difficult for Chinese OF
the higher classes to find husbands fol-
their daughters whose feet have attained
the natural size. 1t Is thought that wo-
men who desire unnamed feet are actu-
ated by no honorable motive, the Grip
ping making it difficult for them to go
about and keeping them more closely at
home than would be the case if they had
full use of the stunted members.
Love between husband and wife as 1t
exists among Christian people is IN
known in China, and it is a subject that
it is not considered decorous to discuss.
Suicide is common among women of all
classes, and, aside from grief after be-
reavement, unhappiness in marriage is
the most common cause Of such tragedies.
Hundreds of wives, it is estimated, end
their lives every year in Picking alone.

A bet was made by johnson that he

"Mack, do you think it will be Liberals

Reau Nash.

Beau Nash, who, like Beau Fielding
and Beau Brummel, expiated his con-
temptible vanity in an old age of obscu-
rity, want and misery, was reduced to
strange expedients between 1895 and
1905. A favorite resource was the &C
ceptance Of extraordinary wagers. Being
at York and having lost all his money,
some of his friends promised to equip him
with 80 guineas upon this proviso, that
he would stand at the great door OF the
minister attired only in blanket as the
people were coming out of the church.
To this he agreed, but the dean passing
out knew him. What" cried the divine,

"Only Yorkshire penance, Mr.. Dean,

motto is "Lie, steal, drink and swear"
and it Is thus explained by the editor:
'"When you lie, let 1t be down to pleas

away from immoral associates; when
you drink, let it be pure water; when you
swear, let it be that you will patronize

A lazy liver may be only tired liver, or
starved liver. A stick is all right for
the back of lazy man. But it would
be savage as well as stupid thing to beat
weary man or starving man because he
Jagged in his work So in treating the lag
ging liver it is great mistake to lash it
with drastic drugs, In ninety-nine cases
out of hundred torpid or sluggish liver
is but symptom of an ill-nourished body,
whose organs are weary with overwork.
Let your liver alone. Start with the
stomach and its allied organs of digestion
and nutrition Put them in proper work
ing order, and see how quickly your liver
will become active and energetic. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
made many marvellous cures of oliver
trouble" by its wonderful control OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood max
ing glands, cleanses the system from
poisonous accumulations, and so relieves
the liver of the burdens imposed upon il
by the detection of other organs.
