energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use Of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous-
ands once in half-dead condition owe their

ancient bell bearing the date 1169.
Every Shrove Tuesday morning 1t is
rung for one hour, and the custom has
been followed for centuries, although
its origin is quite unknown. The PEG.

some connection with the baking Of
pancakes on the day before Lent.
Hence its name, the pancake bell"

fed them that on New Years day he
should get the best Of them all in some
joke, and New Years merning each
received this notice, Remember"
They were on their guard.
As they were leaving house where
they had breakfasted Oswald slipped
on the steps and fell on his back on
the sidewalk. His friends rushed to
his assistance, but paused before they
reached him.
This is his ruse," some one said.
Clearly the man who was SO proud
of his talent for mimicry was bent ON
deceiving them all into thinking him
dying man, for he lay there moan.
Ing pitifully, his face drawn and twist.
ed as il with terrible pain.
His friends stood around and made
jokes and puns and hummed lines of
comic songs, assuring him all the
while that they were not deceived by
his acting. At last he gave hoarse,
mournful cry, looked at them sadly
and then ceased to moan or wrlthe.
In Il never TO be forgotten moment of
horror and sorrow his friends realized
that Oswald was dead. = Souvenirs

clever Reasoning.

Rather an original lesson in political
economy was that once taught by the
Japanese nobleman, Awoto, and thus
translated by Sir Edwin Arnold In
"Seas and Lands"
One evening as he was going to the
palace to take his turn in keeping the
night watch he let ten cash drop out
Of his finder case into the stream ana
then bought fifty cash worth Of torches
to search for the lost coin. His friends
laughed at him for spending so much
in order to recover so little, and he re-
piled, with a frown:
"Sirs, you are foolish and ignorant of
economics. Had not sought for these
ten cash they would have been lost
forever-sunk in the bottom Of the
Namerlgawa. The fifty cash which
have expended on torches will remain
in the hands of the tradesmen. Wheth-
or he has them or l is no matter, but
not a single one of the sixty has been
lost, and that is a clear gain to the
country"
