IN MEMORIAM.

The forest murmurs. See, this noble oak
Has fallen meath the Masters stroke;
Lies wounded, dead; the lonely branches sigh;
All, why should such giant dieP
The stalwart oak is dead; ah, why the sigh,
What though the branch, once towering high,
Lies fallen low, do not ye know
'Tis thus another oak must grow?
The acorns fall, the seed thus sown
By winds of heaven wildly blown
Must sure take root ah, who can tell
The product of the seed that fell?
The forest sighs for him they knew,
And miss their dear companion, too;
And signing, smile through tears that blind;
'Tis good to leave such fruits behind.

NOTINGs.

Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul
speak ing at recent dinner, declared
that the constitution must be amended
to get the desired legislation on an
archy. He specified three kinds Of
Legislation for the suppression Of an
archism, the exclusion of anarchist
immigrants, the etfectual protection Of
the life of the chief executive, and the
prohibition of the formation of plots
on American soil against the lives of
foreign rulers. He believes the consti-
luton should be so amended that this
authority should be allowed Congress
beyond doubt.
In short speech at a great liberal
demonstration at Liverpool Friday
evening, Lord Rosebery said that dur
ing his five years absence from private
life the greatest change in heart and
head that he had undergone had been
in regard to the Irish problem. He
strongly emphasized his hostility to
the Irish party and said it was to the
interests of both the liberals and the
Irish party, that they be utterly alien
ated He disapproved of granting them
an independent Parliament at any time
or under any circumstances and said
that the Irish question was so large
that it would need the energy and pa
triotism of both great parties to deal
Herewith.

he FOUND IT,
Partly because of Good Fortune and Part

Partly because of Good Fortune and Partly
because He was Watching and Searching.
When Columbus set sail in search of a
new continent the wise men of his time
cal ID him an adventurous fool. Yet he
disco0ered America. You may say that
was an accident. Yes, but it wassthe kind
of accident that happeLs only to men who
are looking for it. During long profess
ional practice DIR. D4y7 Kennedy, of
Kingston, n. Y, was co..t.nually watching
out for better medicine than any thus far
known for certain complaints. He could
not imagine wien or how he should find it;
perhaps (more likely inleed) he should
never find it at all. SO he thought. But
the right idea came to him finally and the
result was the preparation called C1lcura
Solvent. The name means a solvent, or
discover, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the
kidneys or bladder; a remedy for the cure
of gravel, and of diseases caused by various
toxic or poisonous substances or acids il the
blood or glands. Experiment showed tl.at
Calcura Solvent would cure red or white
gravel without pain or danger to the patient.
and expel from the system the u &c acid
which causes govt and rheumatism. If it
did no more DIR. xennedy's discovery would
stand as one of the most useful ones in the
history of medicine, but it is equally effect
i've in complaints of the digestive orga s.
