JEALOUSY AND PRIDE.
Through One Writer'S Spectacles
These Two Appear as Virtues.

There is a little jealousy in all per
sons and especially in all women. 1t
springs from deep love, which always
desires to be first in the affection OF
the one beloved. 4 lover, whether man
or maid, who is not susceptible to occa-
sional twinges of jealousy is no truly
in love.
While jealousy, considered with ref
erence to its origin, Is not an ignoble
emotion. i, is frequently absurd IN Its
outbreaks. a father Is sometimes up
set with jealousy because he imagines
that his wife loves the children more
than she loves him. Mothers are fire.
quently jealous of the husbands or
wives of their daughters or sons. Wives
become Jealous Of the sisters or moth
ers of their husbands. No one Is inn
mune against the little green bacilli OF
jealousy.

Generally the tears or frowns OF
jealousy are swept away with a few
kind words and a carcss, but there are
some unhappy persons whose jealousy
is chronic and who make themselves
ridiculous and annoying by their fits
and storms of Jealous passion. The
jealousy of such persons IS beyond real
son. Indeed, it is a form Of dementia
which begets every sort of violence.
Pride is the strongest controller OF
jealousy. The t~heologians reckon pride
among the seven deadly sins, but as a
matter of fact pride is at the bottom of
much of the virtuous action in the
world. Pride is the root of most BRAY
cry, fortitude, courtesy, magnanimity,
humility and industry. Pride is the es-
sential spirit of thorough breeding, and
In spite of being enumerated among
the deadly sins pride is not connected
with turpitudc.-San Francisco Bulle-
tin.

This is the season VIXEN we hear

they are sinking deeply in the pit of
dependency.
The hot summer weather always

ing mortals. They lack nerve force,
strength and true vitality. They can
not rest day or night and life becomes
a burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strength giver for all weary, wornout
and suffering people is Paine's Celery
Compound, now SO universally pre-
scribed by medical men. When the
great medicine is used at this season,
languor, dependency, irritabiiity,
nervousness, sleeplessness, headache,
dyspepsia and digestive troubles are
permanently banished and men and
| women 90 about their duties and
work with a vim, will and energy
that indicate health and physical
strength.
Mr.. j. II. Clark, Newark, Del, who
was in a critical condition of health
from troubles extremely common IN
summer time, writes thus about his
marvellous rescue from death:
"When l was attacked with nervous
prostration l went to one OF our local
doctors. l continued to grow worse
and consulted ether physicians, but
with very little apparent good. Nc
tongue can express or pen describe my
feelings and sutferings from this ter
rible disease. After spending consid'
cradle money in the vain hope OF being
cured, l was led to try Paine's Celery
Compound, and it is this medicine
which enabled me to enjoy the health

p~erlenced night and day for years, the
change is wonderful"

AN OLD-TIME ORGAN.
Gift From Queen Anne Now. in New
York Village.

From the New York Tribune.
In Clyde. Wayne county. Is the oldest
church pipe organ in the United States. Ad-
ditional interest attaches to the instrument
from the reason that it was the first whose
pipes gave music for the Worshipers in old
Trinity, New York city. The organ Is now
occupying place of repose and honor due
to the dignity of old age in the chapel of
st. Johns Episcopal Church. 1t has had
a somewhat remarkable career from the
time it came to the new world as royal
gift to the day its place was taken in the
country church by rival Of more modern
make.
The organ was installed in old Trinity as
a mark Of Queen Annes special favor to
the Englishmen who had made New Am
sterdam into New York. The gift was re-
ceived with the royal command that 1t
should never be sold, but that when the
parish could afford a better one 1t should
be transferred to church which had no
organ. After many years the old instru-
ment was set up in Trinity Church. Utica,
where 1t was used for more than two de-
cades Still honoring the precept Of Queen
Anne, although times had changed and
royal commands had little effect among the
people Of the new states, the organ was
sent here In 1916, and from that date to
1884 1t served ST. Johns Church Once it
had narrow escape, for the church was
burned, but the pariShionerS bent all their
efforts toward saving the organ, and sue
ceeded When the new instrument was put
in position in 1884, the old Queen Anne's
gift was removed to the chapel, where for
more than ten years it's keys have not been
touched, but the parishioners prize it
highly.
The ancient instrument is feet in height,
in width and In depth, with one set Of
keys and six stops.
