NOW LOOK OUTl

"Take care of yourself" 1" say our friends. "rn try to-" we answer. We do take little care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbsrs and mackintoshes, an army of people were bowled out by pneumonia and other lung and chest diseases Inst winter. They caught cold, neglected it., let it hx upon them, were torn by coughs, choked by inhammstions and compositions, wasted by fever, tired out by pain and then gave up the fight The hour you realize that you have a cold on the chest, place a BenHon's Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres- sion is felt If you think two are needed make 1t two. No harm if you were ooy- cred with them. They act quickly and prevent the eagorgment of blood in the organs. In this way-with ordinary eau ton as to exposure-you will break up the cold and avoid a serious sickness. No other applications, or any other form of treatment, will accomplish this as certainly and speedily Benson's PlNnters have dis tinct and positive action and are curative to the highest degree. Use them with the same confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma- tism, the grip Cback and ohest) and all sim liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer CTS from cold weather complaints, should keep these plasters always within reach. Get the genuine.

The Old Pikemen.

In the days when the musket was iL Its infancy as defense against charg- ing cavalry 1t was almost useless. It was as much as could he hoped for if the musketeer got off one shot, to a certainty badly directed, owing to the eccentricities of his weapon, before the horsemen would be on him. Conse- quently we find that the pikeman was a person of considerable importance, and in a volume of 1859 the most elab- crate instructions are given to govern the drill and tactics of the pikenlen, who in action were, as a rule, placed in bodies among the musketeers to stand the brunt of the shock of the cavalry attack.
 And we leNru from history that these pikemen did valiant service on occa- sion; for instance, when the pikemer of the London trained bands withstood the repeated and desperate assaults of Prince Rupert's cavaliers. But their drill was no child's play: For example, in the pages devoted to "The Postures and Charges of the Pike' we find the following:
 And here, Fellow Souldier, whoever thou art, thou maist perceive that there are no more than eight Postures of the Pike and foure Charges, that Is to say, to the Front, Reer, and both Hanks" " -Contemporary Review.

 GA Lot of ,0fr.v

The inhabitants of the little town of Somersby, in England, where Ten nyson was born, are frank in giving their opinion of their distinguished fel- low townsman. One old woman thus related her impressions of the poet to a visitor:
 "'E was very quoiet man. 'E seem ed as if e was 'alf asleep, with Is oyes 'alf shut an peepin', an e used to poke at ye, loike r fun. wP is stick. 'E 'ad such lot of air an a long beard, an'," sinking her voice conf dentially, "'e never looked very clean; no, e didn't"
 And this somewhat startling testimo- ny was promptly confirmed by her hus- band, who added:
 'If you'd met i'm gooin' along this dusty rooad, you'd "a taken i'm for a tramp gooin' to Brigg for a nights lodgin'."

LEST TwENTY-THRKE cooNs.

I can't never tell how it all happened, but as left the doahstep ripped and fell down. and 1t wasn't five seconds befo' I knew l had a broken leg. It didn't hurt much at first. I crawled into the cabin and on to the bed, and then the pains t0o.i n!e. The highest naybur was Eliie away, and it was.t much use to holler, but I yelled till I was hoarse. Then fell to cryin', and arter that to prayin'. Bimeby l was so used up that 1 couldn't do no mo than to lay thar and moan, and then the jedgment cum. The door was wide open, and I lay facin' 1t, and the fust thing I knowed' twentythree coons walked in one arter the other. Yes, suh, jest twenty-three coons, and all big and fat, and they marched around the room in procession and then be- gun to chaw things up. They scatter ed the contents of the mealbag, upsot the keg of apple butter and dragged the bacon through the muss, and when they was ready to go each one give sort of chuckle in his throat. They hadn't bin gone five minits when in walks sixteen big, fat possums. They tipped over the crock holdin' the sor- ghum, chawed up my hat and knocked down the lamp, and two of 'em climb ed up on the bed and took look at me befo' they left. All I could do was to lay thar and groan and weep, and it did seem as If my heart would break.
 "But thar was mo to cum-mo' to cum," sighed Feb as he rocked to and fro in his big splint bottomed chair. Soon arter the possums had gone my ole dawg cum sneakin' in and hid un- der the bed, and he was follered by a bar. The bar stood and cooked his eye at me fur a mint and then rushed fur the dawg. The fight didn't last long. He killed that dawg in twenty ticks of the clock, and then he walked around to see what damage be could do. He tipped over the cupboard, knocked down the clock and tore up all the clothes he could find, and then he jumped up on the bed and looked me full in the face. Yes, the jedg- ment had cum, and I reckoned I was to be devoured alive. I was too weak to lift hand, but with that bars eyes glarin' into mine I spoke up and said:
 "Tf I'm spared from this jedgment I'll promise never to do no mo huntin' on Sunday. The bars may cum down off the mountings b, the hundred. and the deers may cum out of the thickets by the thousand, but if it's Sunday won't even look up at my rifle
 Tt was them words as saved me. The bar growled and sniffed, but final lv got down and cleared out, and then

But 1t Wanted Winding. So Do Other

 When I turn in " for the night I wind my watch and put it on little table at the head of the bed. The other night woke and failed to hear it ticking.
 "What !" said I, " is it possible forgot to wind it2 I put it to my ear. Going still ?-yes, going still; but very feeble and faintly. I wound it at once of course" '"
 That other watch-the watch in your breast-the heart. An! It doesn't do to let that run down. It does more work than any other organ in the body. It hammers away, year in and year out, day and night, work days, holidays and Sundays. It is kept going by the blood and the blood is merely digested food.

It is from the hand of that widely known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y., and is called Calcura Solvent.

at lovely Belleville, in New Jersey, entered upon my work. But there stood the empty parsonage, and not cent had I with which to furnish it. After preaching three or four weeks the officers of my church asked me If I did not want to take two or three weeks vacation. I said, Yes" for I had preached about all I knew, but I feared they must be getting tired of me. When I returned to the village after the brief vacation, they handed me the key of the parsonage and asked me if I did not want to go and look at it. Not suspecting anything had hap pened, I put the key into the parson- age door and 0pened 1t, and there was the hall completely furnished with car pet and pictures and hatrack, and I turned into the parlors, and they were furnished-the softest sofas I ever sat on-and into the study, and I found 1t furnished with bookcases, and I went into the bedrooms, and they were fur nished, and into the pantry, and that was furnished with every culinary ar ticle, and the rpiceboxes were filled, and four barrel stood there ready to be opened, and I went down into the dining room, and the table was set and beautifully furnished, and into the kitchen, and the stove was full of fuel, and match lay on the top of the stove, and all I had to do in starting house keeping was to strike the match. God inspired the whole thing, and if I ever doubt his goodness all up and down the world call me an ingrate. I testify that have been in many tight places, and God always got me out, and he will get you out of the tight places.
 But the most of you will never reach the eighties or the seventies or the six ties or the fifttes or the forties. He who passes into the forties has gone far beyond the average of human life. Amid the uncertainties take God through Jesus Christ as your present and eternal safety. The longest life is only a small fragment of the great eternity. We will all~of us soon be there.
 Eternity, how near 1t rollsl
 Count the vast value of your souls.
 Beware and count the awful cost
 What they have gained whose souls
 are lost.

peculiaritien of Lichens.

The Hchen is remarkable for the great age to which 1t lives, there being good grounds for believing that the plants endure for 100 years. Their growth Is exceedingly slow, almost beyond be- lief, indicating that only little nour. ishment Is necessary to keep them alive. In a dry time they have the power to suHpend growth altogether, renewing 1t again at the fall of rain. This peculiarly alone is enough to make the hchen a vegetable wonder, as 1t is a property possessed by no oth- CT species of plant.
 Another interesting fact about H. chens is that they grow only where the air Is free from dust and smoke. They may be said to be sure indication of the purity of the air, as they are never found growing in cities and towns, where the atmosphere Is impregnated with dust, soot, smoke and other i'm purities.

The old Poasum Hunter of Tennes- see Failed to Heed the Advice of
 His Good Wife to Keep Holy the Sabbath Day and Suffers For It.
 Copyright 1901, by c. B. Lewis.l fk~ DON'T reckon was any wuss
 than other men," said the old
 possum hunter of Tennessee as
 he settled down to tell an even ing tale, but somehow or other it allus seemed as if Sunday was the best day to go huntin. My wife ob- jected from the day we was mar ried, but I didn't give it up. I wasn't defiant of the Lawd or anything of that sort, but I couldn't see no harm in gwine out of a Sunday and poppin' over a bar or bringin' home a couple of coonskins. This had been gwine on long, long time when Elder Davis called at my cabin one Saturday to say that he was gwine to preach at Carter's Crossroads next day. The elder was a powerful good man and l liked him, but I couldn't give up my Sunday huntin' to hear him preach. He jest said that Sunday was the Lawd's day and should be kept holy and that I wasn't doin' the right thing to slosh around with a gun on my shoulder. It was arter he was gone that the old woman turned to me and said:
 'Zeb, yo'll put on a clean shirt in the mornin' and go with me to hear the preachIn'.'
 ".I'd like to mighty we'll says l, but I've located seven coons in a big tree and hev got to git their hides to- morrer.'
 "Is yo'r soul wuth more than seven coons" she asks.
 Reckon 'tis, but what's my soul got to do with it?
 "'Yo' are gwine to lose 1t if yo' don't stop this Sunday sloshin'. Hear me, Feb White. If yo' don't go to church with me tomorrer a jedgment will fall upon yo' as suah's yo'r bo'nr
 'T sorter thought I'd go, and I sorter thought wouldn't. and I was at a standstill till the old woman got her bonnet on. Then I suddenly made up my mind to go arter the coons and let her go to the preachin' alone. She l looks at me fur a mint or two with pity in her eyes, and then says: "Al right, Feb White Go along arter yo'r coons, but bewar' of that | jedgmentr
 "I felt sorter mean and also sorter | scairt, but when she had gone I clean ed my rife and made ready fur start.

It Reminded Him.

One sharp November day, says the Philadelphia Record, boy entered a car, leaving the door open, much to the discomfort of an old gentleman who sat next. As the wind chilled his mar row his temper rose. Leaning across his seat and taking the kid by his ear, be said: Were you brought up in a barn? Why don't you shut the door?"
 The boy said nothing, but closed the door, coming back to his seat in tears. This sight moved the old man to relent- Ing pity. There, there," he said, Tit tie man; didn't really mean you were brought up In a barn."
 That's just it," retorted the kid. "T was brought up In a barn, and every time see a jackass it makes me think of it."

An Interentinx Coin.

An interesting coin has just been sold in Germany. 1t Is one of the few coins in the history of the world which can be accused of having a humorous side to 1t. In 1879 the Danes descended on the port of Hamburg, but their attack on the famous Hanse town proved un- successful. The inhabitants of the town struck a medal to commemorate the occasion. The legend on the coin was as follows: ''The king of Denmark has been to Hamburg. If thou wouldst know what he achieved, look on the other side" It is needless to add that ''the other side" is a blank.
