Do Good-It PauS.

A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds some Of the latter are worth
less. Act kindly and gently, show
sympathy and lend a helping hand
You cannot possibly lose by it,.
Most men appreciate kind word
and encouragement more than sub
stantial help. There are persons in
this community who might truthfuily
say: My good friend, cheer up, A
few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy will rid you of your cold and
there is no danger whatever from pneu-
monia when you use that medicine
1t always cures. I know it for it has
helped me out many time Sold by

Relic of Medieval Custom.

1t has been noticed that no mention
is made of King Edwards illness in
the Court Circular. This is relic Of
the medieval custom of concealing
from the public for political reasons
any reference to the kings health. The
secrecy that surrounds the court is a
custom handed down from generations
when the sovereign and the royal FAM
lily were not so secure in the affections
of the people as they are at the pres
ent time.

Probably one Of the largest catches
OF salmon ever made at a single haul
OF a seine was made by Captain Tom

Jealousies between the workmen's corporations in France result in "Ho- merle" combats. bloody battles. It is the one bad side of an institution that is otherwise so truly fraternal.
 They start out in companies, rarely alone, to make their tour of France" Before coming back to continue their work in their own villages the young apprentices go together from town to town to study on the ground the mas terpieces of their trade and to see the best that the genius of their ancestors has produced. It is the knight erran- try of the workman.
 He earns his living en route, perfects himself in his profession, learns from one master and another, sees, con- pares, studies. admires. He gathers his humble harvest of souvenirs and i'm pressions, enjoys the full vigor of his early years and passes his youth along the sunny highways.
 Unfortunately there is disagreement among the societies." In everything tucIc iS louii u piclSNl -oi ld"iiS' The society of the Pere Soubise is jealous of that of Maitre Jacques, and the Enfants du Solomon take part in the quarrel whenever possible.

When to Eat Fruit.

The question is often asked, At what time of day should fruit be eaten? In tropical countries. where fruit is the chief article of food. the rule appears to be that the earlier in the day it is taken the better and the later the worse. In hot weather many wise people will eat none after noon, alleg- ing that the digestion then declines in power with the decline of the day and the fruit, instead of digesting, decom- poses owing to the presence of the sac charine matter. The objection to fruit and certain kinds of vegetables late in the day, be the explanation what it may. is certainly justified by an ample experience. though some persons can eat fruit at all hours without feeling any inconvenience.-Table Talks.

A GOOD PRESCRIPTION.
Laughter as n Stomach Cure md m
 Aid to Health.

Worry is but one of the many forms of fear, so that worry tends to the production of indigestion. Indigestion tends to put the body of the subject in a condition that favors worry. There is thus established vicious circle which tends to perpetuate itself, each element augmenting the other.
 It is necessary to secure cheerful, wholesome atmosphere for the dys- peptc. He should eat his meals at a table where there is good fellowship and where funny stories are told. He should himself make great effort to contribute his share of this at the table, even if it be necessary, as 1t was in one case under my care. for him to solemn ly and seriously collect funny para graphs from the press, and at first in- terject them spasmodically during lulls in the conversation at the table. The very efforts and determination of the man to correct his own silent habits at table, to correct his feelings of dis couragement and worry, were in them- selves promise of success. The ef fort made was adequate to the obsta- cles to be overcome. He succeeded. and the spectacle of that man trying to be funny at table when he felt thor oughly discouraged and blue is one we shall never forget.
 Laughing is in itself also useful exercise from the standpoint of diges- tion. It stirs up all the abdominal organs. it increases the circulation of the blood. 1t increases peristalsis, it in- creases the secretion of gastric juices. Five minutes deliberate laughing after each meal would be an excellent pre- scription for some people.-Family Doc tor.

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death.
 It is more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease.
 There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously deranged by neglected cold. Dis eases of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of neglected cold.
 Hundreds ot dollars are spent on doctors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered, there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi- cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.
 If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

FIRING A SALUTE.
The Way Two Naval GreenhOrns Did
 It on Il Warship.

"On one of Uncle Sams warships once" said naval officer, i've had enlisted among our able seamen two Irishmen, Mike and Barney. They had come aboard three days after they had landed in the country, but they learned some things so quickly that they had acquired very definite idea of the meaning of the Fourth of July long be. fore the day arrived, which was some thing like q month after we had sailed on our cruise. It chanced that the two were on an early morning watch to. gether when Independence day dawned, and they at once began to plan for its proper welcome. They seemed to real ize, you see, that there was necessity for an unusual display of patriotism.
 Barney suggested they fire a salute from one of the forward eight pound. CTS, but Mike feared that would rouse the entire ship. 'Niver moind,' an. swered Barney. Do ye hold bucket feminist the muzzle, an twill deaden the. sound' And three minutes later that gun went off with such roar as brought every man of the crew out of the midst of peaceful dreams.
 T sent for Barney. Now, my man. said l. tell me everything
 "'Sure,' he faltered. it was only q bit uv cilibration because uv our in- dipindence.'
 "'And where's Mike? demanded.
 "'Captain, dear,' he groaned, he wint afther bucket uv wather, an if he comes back as quick as he wint he's due roight now.'"
 And then the officer closed his story with the simple statement, "But Mike was never recovered"
