The Early Rising Fad.

Early rising has been inculcated as
wholesome practice from time imme-
mortal, and to those who can contrive
to get to bed also in good time is unob-
jectionable in every way: but, on the
other hand, If the employment Is of
such a nature as to prevent the occupa-
ton of the bed at proportionately ear
~ hour it is absurd to recommend the
one without the other. Some persons
require six or seven, some eight or nine
hours in the "a. but II we all made q
practice of getting up as soon as we
wake we should find that the sleep
would be sounder and more wholesome
and that it would be seldom extended
beyond seven or eight hours.
The plan of rising long time before
breakfast and taking a walk on an
empty stomach is undoubtedly bad
one, and though it may be adopted by
some people without injury, yet II at
tempted by those of delicate constitu-
ton it will do a vast deal of harm.
Half an hour or an hour before that
meal may well be passed in short
walk, but beyond that time the stom-
ach becomes Weakened in tone, and
the meal when taken is followed by q
dull and heavy sensation Of fatigue
and listlessness instead of the sprightly
readiness for the days occupation,
which it ought to be the ambition Of
every one to possess.-Health.

A boatman in the north of England
having been engaged to row a reverend
gentleman over a rough part Of a river,
was very much annoyed at the manner

Clergyman-Well,' that's another part
Of a life lost. my man.
Nothing more was said, as the water
was turning very boisterous and they
were in great danger. when suddenly
the boat gave a lurch and was cap
sized.
The boatman. being an expert swim
mer. took the situation quite coolly.
while his companion. who knew moth

making good progress toward terra

following:

the market Is. face two large depart

Miataken For Shafts.

A story ia told Of pair Of feet that
must have been objects Of great regard
in their day.
One day a party Of men. including
Jackson. the man Of big feet. were
preparing to attend a political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way Of conveying Jackson, as all
the vehicles were full.
Let me ride that horse over there"
asked Jackson.
There isn't man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to
cart or plow. but no one can stay on
his back"
"I'll try him. anyway" And the deter
mined man instructed several men to
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked, but
finally Jackson secured a seat in the
saddle. {
Every one expected to see him dash
ed to the ground. but the horse looked
round. saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away. He thought he was

The sneexe Wood Tree.

The remarkable sneeZe wood tree is a
native of Natal and other parts Of
South Africa. It's funny name was
given to 1t because one cannot saw 1t
without sneezing violently.
The dust of it's wood has just the
same effect as the strongest SNUFF and
Is so irritating to the nose that work
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting it,
If a piece Of the wood Of this tree is
put in the mouth. it is found to have a
very bitter taste. and no doubt it Is this
bitterness which prevents insects of
any kind from attacking the timber Of
the ''sneeze wood" tree
The fact that insects find it so disa
greeable makes it's wood very valuable
for work that is required to last long
time.

one evening at a friendly gathering in
London. The violinist had "obliged"
without satisfying certain ladies, who
entreated the poet to obtain from him
another solo. Browning, feeling the
delicacy of his task, discharged it dip
lomatically and spoke, as sometimes
he wrote, so as to conceal his thoughts.
while the violinist, not understanding.
bowed and smiled and did not play.
AS they left the house Joachim ask
ed, what did you mean just nowT
"Oh," said the poet. 81 wanted you
to give us some more music"
'"Then why did you not come and
say, Joe, old boy. give us another

She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel we'll and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is a bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are In a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is a symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. Il. 81. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
"Last spring 1 used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time / was all run
down and sick. / find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in a delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating a healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for 1t.
