Frederic Palmer, who recently made the
transcontinental journey, "was a postage

Gals are public servants, it seemed strange
to me to stand with hat removed before

cap on, dressed like major general, who
graciously consented to sell me one five

A Judge of Art.

The seller of pot-boilers came into
the office of the shrewd broker with the
air of one who is about to secrifice a
priceless treasure. 1t was a seascape;
troubled sea beat upon purple rocks,
and wind-driyen gulls wheeled in wild
circles above the familiar pot-boiler
ship. The seller of pot-boilers looked
upon the treasure long and yearningly.
1t could be seen that grievous strug-
gle between art and appetite was rag
ing within him. How much do you
want for ito" demanded the shrewd
broker. Zone hundred dollars" said
the pot-boiler man; ''it's giving it
away" "Give you three for it," said
the shrewd broker" IT'S yours" said
the pot-boiler man. "That fellow
across the way only offered me rs cents,
but he amt no judge of art."-N. Y.

NATURES InexhaustibIe SKIN.

When the model of the great extinct
dinosaur called the triceratops, which
was shown at the Buffalo exposition,
was in process of making, considerable
difficulty was anticipated in sustaining
the huge armored skull in its proper
position. But when the attempt was
made there was no difficulty. Then it
was found that nature, whose lines
had been carefully followed in making
the model, had SO cunningly balanced
the parts about the junction of the
head with the neck that single pin
in the base of the skull sufficed to car
ry it.-Youth's Companion.

PRACTICAL POINTS

God is no respecter of persons. No
accident OF fortune, position or race
commends one in His sight.
That person is acceptable in His
sight who fears God and worketn

In every nation there are those
who are acceptable to God, because
they are trying to work righteous.

Those in every nation who are ac-
ceptable to God should be brought to
a full knowledge of Christ.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish particular part of
the body, but 1t will sustain every 9TH
er part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutrlment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You may
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, purifies the
blood. and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR.. 6. G..

Walk in everlasting sunshine
