HIS PRIZE ROSES.
A Little secret That Was Connded Ia
the Wrong Man.

the WrOnk
An amusing incident is reported In
connection with IA small flower show
In the north Of England. One OF the

cottage gaHeners within a certain ra-
dius. and the winner turned up In a
laborer whom we will call Sandy. The
lucky Individual was In higlI' feather
and hung about near his exhibit all the
afternoon receiving the congratulations
Of his friends.
"Beautful roses" remarked well
dressed stranger 10 Sandy. They tell
me, however that II Briggs had been

Now, Briggs was the rose grower

That's nonsense" retorted the
stranger. Briggs roses are the talk

Sandy still stuck TO his point and be

you and me-" he whispered eventually,
Briggs amt got no better roses than
them. 'cOs them's nis. lie couldn't en-

Throwing RIrr ~ Weddings.

Like roast pig, the origin Of throwing
rico nj wedding. Is Chinese, and the
legend IL scar,ay less worthy of
Charles Lamb: "a famous sorccrcr
named Chao became jealous of the
power Of another sorccrcr, a woman,
and. conccivng plan To destroy her,
hc persuaded her parents To bestow her
upon his supposed son. The crafty
Chao chose the most unlucky day for
the wedding, the day when the Golden
Pheasant was In the ascendant, so that
when the bride entered the red chair
the spirit bird would destroy her with
his powerful bcak. But peachblossom
gave directions TO have rice thrown out
at the door. and she passed out un-
harmed while the spirit bird was de
vouring it,"

THE death-knell of programme
and circular advertising in Salem,
Mass was rung recently when the
Salem Merchants Association passed
unanimously the following resolu-

"Whereas the practice of giving
advertisements for programmes,
church and social papers has grown
to be such serious tax upon mer-
chants as to call for its abatement,
therefore it is
"Resolved, that the members oi
the Salem Merchants Association
hereby agree to decline giving sucl

for each branch
Our way assures good work i'm FIVE branch
es, because constant doing Of one thing
makes skill The usual way secures good
work in one branch only, because nearly
every dentist makes one branch his hobby
and neglects the other four.
Specialists not only do better work, but
with less pain than others, because they
work more defty and gently.
They do work cheaper. too, because they

THE VALUE or CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t :s
 in Preserving Health and Beauty,

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is fine saftest and most efficient dIsinfeo. tant and purifier in nature. but few real ize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal Is Q remedy that the more you take of M the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and ifapurlties always present in the ston. ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath aftaR smoking, drinking or after eating on.ons and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually cleans and i'm. proves the complexion. 1t whRens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 ii absorbs the injurious gases which coi- lect ln the stomach and bowels; 1t disin. fecta fine mouth and throat from the poi- son of catarrh.
 An drugR.sts sell charcoal in one form ar another, but probably the best char- coal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are conposed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other harmless antiseplics large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the cha coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use Of these lozenges win .oon fell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweeter breath and pureF blood, and inc beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm csn result from their continued use, but on inc contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the beneits of charcoal. says. T advise Stusrt's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tiaDts suffering from gas in stomach and howeIs and to clear the complexion and Dur,fv the breath, mouth and throat; 1 siSo belIeve the liver is greatly beneftted bv the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores and although in some sense a patent nrena ration, yet believe get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent

 Like Ire in the field of night
 saw the Red Star shine, The Red Star, the gypsy star And claimed It's Night for mina; The watcher by the flame,
 The guide OCT, moor and fen. That beck0ning waves his rosy torch For wild and wandering men. Like a disk of the ruddy gold e saw the Red Star gleam, The Red Star, the gypsy star,
 That roves in the roads of dream; Across the empty years He flung his spendthrift store, As Romany plays with handfuls bright, In the shade of the low tent door. Like a horseshoe on the forge I saw the Red Star glow, The Red Star. the gypsy star,
 Whose trail the vagabonds know; Beating the bounds of earth,
 Beneath the alien skies, They wend with joy in their homeless Who have seen the Red Star rise.
