A Slight Misun ierstanding.

A young man, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary
means. sought to remedy this defect
and to save the money required for
the purchase of expensive flowers by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have u bouquet from time to time In
return for his cast off clothes. So it
happened that one day he received a
punch of the most beautiful roses,
which he at once dispatched to his
ady love. In sure anticipation Of a
friendly welcome, he called at the
house Of the young woman the same
evening, and was not little surprised
IT frosty reception.
After a pause the young woman re.
marked in the most frigid tones: "You
sent me note to-day"
"A note-1?"
Certainly, along with the flowers"
ITO be sure, sent you flowers
but"
'And this note was with the bouquet.
Do you mean to deny itT'
And the young man read. Don't for
get the old trousers you promised me
the other day."-New York Tribune.

Shoot an arrow up into the air--as
straight as you can. You cannot tell where
it will fall. Now the human blood con-
tains more or less poisonous elements.
Nature tries to get rid of them before they
work mischief, but in most cases she fails
to do 1t. We may call them falling arrows;
but unlike your wooden arrow, they always
strike on the weakest spot, or spots in the
system. If they hit the muscles and joints
we call the result rheumatism or govt
if they hit the liver we call it liver
complaint or biiousness If they hit the
kidney we call it stone in the kidney, or
perhaps Bright's disease; II they hit the
nerves we call it nervous prostntion, epil-
epsy or any of fifty other names; if they
hit the bronchial tubes we call il bronchii

A Story Of Heroic Self Sacrifice.

The logs heaped upon themselves,
wedged and ground into one another in
what seemed to be an inextricable
mass. A few Individual logs were
drawn out with the rope and horses,
but the other logs only seemed to
groan, make little move and pack
the closer. One, two. three, four days
they all worked and failed. The water
had risen considerably because Of the
jam and was forcing other logs back
against the banks above the falls.
Almost distracted with his perplex-
ity, Mr.. George was carefully examin.
Ing this backward action, when the
logs under him made move, dropping
him Into the water, and pinnlng him
at the thigh between the logs and the
rocky shore. 1t looked as IL his legs
would be crushed-such was the back
ward force Of the water and logs.
Alarm was sounded. Men tried to
force the logs back and get the young
master out. but In vain. A rope was
tied around bis waist. and they tried
to draw him out, but that also was in
vain.

thus cures diseases already in progress and
prevents the inception of others. This
medicine is actually something new under
the sun and has curative powers worthy Of
the man whose name it bears. Since its
introduction 10 the public, short time
ago, Calcura-Solvent (stone-dissolver) has
won the confidence of physicians-who are
never in haste to endorse any new prepara-
ton. Its success proves that mankind has
not yet exhausted natures store of wonders

made q remarkable record for advances in

surpass it If the discovery Of Calcura-Sol-
