Unconscious Humor.

With the unconscious humor Of the
schoolroom and the examination we
are familiar, but in this respect the
prayer meeting and the board meeting
that Coles out parish relief remain al
most untouched sources Of fun.
Recently a trembling old lady at
Camberwell appeared for parish relief.
"But what is your SOIL" she was asked,
"that he cannot support you" "Please,
sir" she replied, "he's only a million
aire." Amid the ensuing laughter they
learned that what she meant was com-
missionaire.
Also quite recently at a prayer meet
ing where the worshipers' wished for
the restoration to health of some friend
one of them prayed, 80 God, restore
unto us our brother if it doth not in
terfere with thy perquisites." The sit
uation was saved by the exclamation
Of an intelligent listener: "Halleluiah!
The Lord knows what he meansy"-

Color and Disease.

Every one would agree that color has
an extraordinary effect on ones spirits,
and scarlet or reds of any kind are dis
tinctly eAhilarating. But what is the
power Of color over disease? The idea
that the power exists is not a new one
indeed nobody knows how old it is
but when Edward II. (then PR. ce Ed.
ward) was smitten with SMALLPOX his
doctor (Gaddesden) treated him in q
way that would battle even the Chris
tan Scientists.
To quote his own words, from a note
of Miss Strickland's in her Marguerite
of France memoir, IT ordered the
prince to be enveloped in scarlet cloth
and that his bed and all the furniture
of his chamber should be of bright red
color, which practice not alone cured
him, but prevented his being marked"
The old chronicle goes on to say that
he treated the sons Of the noblest
houses in England on the red system
and made good cures in ALL"
"In this childish state" Miss Strick-
land quantity remarks, twas the noble
art Of healing at the court of Margue-
rite" What would her comments be if

Read 1t In His Newspaner.

George Scheub, a we'll known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is
a constant reader of the Dayton Vol
k%zzeitung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in it's
columns, and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says, "After
using the Pain Balm for a few days,
my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the en-
tire contents OF the bottle the unbear-
able pains had vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This

THE CORONATION FLOWER.
Queen Alexandra Has Made Carna-
tons Her Favorite Blossoms.

queen Has Made Carna-
lions Her F%avorite Blossoms.
The probable coronation flower will
be the carnation, according to a special
cable dispatch from London to the
New York Journal. This is Queen AL
eNandra's favorite flower, and she rare
ly appears in public without a bunch
at her corsage. In expectation that the
carnation will be the most popular cor
onation flower the florists are prepar-
ing to flood the market in June. At a
flower show at Temple Garden the 9TH
er day the queen fingered longest in the
carnation booth and bought many
plants. While the king was admiring
the display a gardener, not recognizing
him, rushed up and thrust his business
card into the kings hand, saying:
place your orders with me. I can
save you money"
The queen laughed, and the king
smiled. An equerry coming up at this
moment, the gardener discovered the
identity of the king and %apologized
.awkwardly.

Irish Bird ReItefs.

A Dublin journal, speaking about the
beliefs about birds in Ireland, says
that the %blackbird and thrush are
wandering SOULS whose sins must be
expiated on earth; hence they are
forced to endure the rigors of winter.
Rocks, jackdaws, bats, hawks and
owls are animated by lost souls. The
wagtail is called the devils bird for no
other reason, it is supposed, than that it
cleyerly eyades the missiles thrown at
it. A dead wagtail is a rara avis.
The robin is called Gods bird be-
cause it plucked a thorn from the cruel
crown pressed upon the head of our
Saviour and in doing so wounded it's
own breast. 1t forsakes a Cursed
graveyard.
Sparrows, stares and plovers are on
friendly terms with the fairies. The
lark and the swallow are birds Of good
omen, but the latter should not rest on
the housetop.

Quotation Marks.

Speaking of the use of quotation
marks, the London Chronicle says:
But why all these inverted commas.
"the silly trick of peppering pages with
these uncouth bacilli?" You will find
none of these bacilli in the Bible. Take
this passage. chosen at random:
Now Jesus knew that they were
DESTROYS to ask him, and said unto
them, Do ye inquire among yourselves
of that l said, A little while, and We
shall not see me; and again. a little
while, and We shall see me?
The modern compositor would setthat
passage between two brackets of in
verified commas, for it is a quote within
a quote. But it is beautifully clear as
it stands, and among all Biblical mis-
understandings no one, we think, has
been misled by the absence of an in.
verified comma.
Edward Huss, q well known business man of
Salisbury, Missouri, writes: 81 wish to say for
the benefit of others that l was a sufferer from
lumbago and kidney trouble, and all the erme-
dies l took gave me no relief. I was induced
to try FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE and after the
use of three bottles I am cured" Nick Dofing

Cuba Libre.

ITune, maryland, My M~aryland!"l
The work is wrought; the cannon's roar
On sea or land is heard no more;
The battles rage and tumult cease
In songs of victory and peace
The heaven appointed task is done,
The cause for which we fought is won,
And Cuba libre, fairest gem,
Is set in freedoms diadem!
Havana's waters, blue and broad,
Reflect the righteousness of God,
And Santiago'S wreck strewn shore
Resounds his praise forevermore.
The islands of the sea rejoice;
The foods lift up their mighty voice;
From shore to shore the anthems rise,
A nations grateful sacrifice.
Long as the stars shall shine o'erhead
In deathless fame shall live the dead,
Their country's glory and renown,
Their fadeless, everlasting crown.
The morning breaks; the shadows flee;
Christ's kingdom comes on land and sea;
The rule of love, the reign of good,
The whole round world one brotherhood!

Times.

A Simple Remedy.

The readiness of some people to send
for a man to do those little things
about the house which the smallest
mount of enterprise or ingenuity
would enable them to do for them
selves is illustrated by an incident re-
ported in the Chicago Tribune of a
family named Chuckster.
They had bought some new gas burn
ers with nantes. For a week or two
the light was satisfactory; then it grew
dim and DINNER until Mrs. Chuckster
sent for the gas filter.

planned.
"When was it put in?" asked the
man.
"About a month ago"

Then he lifted the chimney off, took
it out to the kitchen, washed it with
soap and water, and the light burned
as brightly as ever.

THE ISLE OF MARTINIQUE.
Eloquent Tribute to the III Fated Is
lands Beauty.

II ocautS
The accompanying verses were writ
ten a few years ago on the i'll fated is
land of Martinique by Harry Higgins,
a Chicago boy, whose long invalidism
was terminated by death a year or two
ago, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
While travelling for his health he wrote
extensively for some of the newspapers
and magazines, and much of his liter
airy work gave high promise if only a
sound body had been bestowed upon
him:
In tropic lands. meath skies of richest
Where crested wav gives back the mir
rored hue,
The Caribbean islets tower on high
AND battle their peaks in feecy cumuli.
The gentle trades course DER the billowy
deep
And swathe with cooling breath the hour
of sleep;
The fragrant lime and lowly jasmine
boom,
Wher, stately groves and palm trees
fringe the shore
And lose their whispering in the eeaseless
roar
OF breaking surf on dazzling coral strand,
Where curious shells are hurled amidst
the sand.
Oh, lovely Martinique, thou beauteous
isle,
On thee sweet nature cast her sunniest
smile.
Arabia's shores nor fair Hesperides
Can boast thy foliage, bending in the
breeze.
Thou art an emerald set in turquoise sea
And deck the breast of beauteous Carib-
bee,
Which, swelling gently round thee, holds
thee dear.
AS queen of all fair islands, far and near.
Thy cloud compelling Pelee scars on high,
Rearing her serrate head in proud defy,
Gathering the raindrops into silvery rills
Which wander singing down the verdured
hills.
oh. Josephine. thy memories cling, per-
"a
To this thy birthplace, fairest isle of
And longing filled thy rouble heart to
hear
Once more the silvery chimes from st.
Pierre.

By limpid pools meath cool, refreshing
shade,
To wander forth n thread the tropic
maze
Fastening the lovely view in one long
gaze.
To this Harry's mother, Mrs. Hiram
Higgins of the Lexington hotel, in Chi
cago, has added the following stanza:
oh, Martinique. proud Pelee seard thy
doom,
Has plunged thee in the darkest, deepest
gloom,
And can'st thou ever hope again to be
The queen of all fair Islands OF the sea?
The children thou hast left in deep despair
VIII never see again thy face SO fair,
Where singing brooks coursed down thy
mountain side
The burning lava found a place to hide.
