Jacobs Ladder,

Among long staircases the world over
none, it is safe to say, is so long or diff
icult of ascent as Jacobs ladder"
This remarkable flight contains more
than 700 steps, all rising with the same
lift in the same direction. The steps
rise at an angle of exactly forty-five
degrees.
Jacobs ladder" ascends particular
ly steep hill at st. Helena. The steps
are naturally the most direct route to
the summit of the hill and despite their
great length are traversed daily by
hundreds of wayfarers. There are said
to be many persons who from long
practice are able to ascend the steep
F, stairway at rapid pace without once
stopping for breath.

A Poets Mother.

Robert Buchanan had one deep Ell.

garded her to the end of her life as
Astounding even in girlish charms. He
could never realize that she was grow
ing old. In looking at her. even when
she was close upon eighty, he saw the
soft blue eyes and golden hair which
he had loved long ago.
II cannot imagine my mother as old"
he said again and again the day after
she died II do not feel that she is
dead, for l cannot imagine the world
without her"
When, a youth Of eighteen, he went
up to London Ito take the world by
storm" he was a miserably homesick
lad. He sat in a corner of the railway
carriage, his heart aching, his eyes dim
with tears.
81 realized he says, that was for
the first time quite friendless and alone.

for me at home, and l longed to turn
back and ask her forgiveness for any
pain l had caused her. Even now
never take railway journey at night
without recalling the dismal heartache
Of that midnight journey to London"
Almost daily during this early strug-
gle did he receive letter from her, al
ways full of loving instruction for his
guidance. His answers were overflow
ing with heart and hope Mother and
son were constant in this tender serv-
ice From first to last they were the
best and most intimate of friends.

Turner, man now over seventy-one
years of age, and whose home is here.

had suffered with a very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that
very often bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or FIVE
times every night, and this very tire
some disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be
able to get relief, he stumbled over a
medicine which relieved him almost
Immediately, and has cured him per-
zranently- 1t is SO very easy to get
and SO simple that Mr.. Turner thinks
everyone should know of it. Every
dealer in the country has it, and all
you have to do is to ask for Dodd's

Humorous Experience Told of the L att
Phil May.

Phil May. the English black-and-
white artist who died recently, wrote
of himself: From the very beginning
found a firm friend in Charles Alias,
who kept me busy at costume designs.
1 remember one night he and 1 and
some other friends bought out a whole
Wrinkle stall in Maiden lane and
wheeled it all over the place, distrib-
uting the wrinkles to every one we met,
until the police interfered with our
generosity. Once / was very busy on
some dress designs which Mr.. Alias
required at very particular time.
The constant and hard work made me
fretful and impatient and at the most
inconvenient times-for him-I often
wandered out, and my return was al
ways uncertain BY preventing these
outings he hoped to keep me steadily
at work, and SO, as l only wore slip
pers in the studio, he hit on the idea
OF hiding my boots. When / took it
into my head to go out I could not
find my boots anywhere, so drew on
a pair of Turkish boots of crimson
leather and went into the Strand.
Alias seemed amused when he saw

The Future.

Not where long passed ages sleep.
Seek We Eden's golden trees
In the future, folded deep.
Are its mystic harmonies.
All before us lies the way.
Give the past unto the wind:
All before us is the day.
Night and darkness are behind.
Eden with its angels bold
Love and flowers and coolest sea.
Is not ancient story told,
But a glowing prophecy.
In the spirits perfect air.
In the passions tame and kind,
Innocence from selfish care.
The real Eden we shall find.
1t is coming. it shall come,
To the patient and the striving,
To the quiet heart at home,
Thinking wise and faithful living.
When all error is worked out
From the heart and from the life.
When the Sensuous is laid low
Through the Spirits holy strife;
When the Soul to Sin hath died,
True and beautiful and sound:
Then all earth is sanctified
Up springs Paradise around.
Then shall come the Eden days.,
Guardian watch from Seraph-eyes,
Angels on the slanting rays,
Voices from the opening skies.
From this spirit land afar,
All disturbing force shall flee:
Stir nor toll nor hopes shall mar
Its immortal unity

The Bible Brick.

e. G. Acheson. of Niagara Falls,
while he was searching for the best
clay to make crucibles, read the state
ments in the fifth chapter of Exodus
about the use of straw and stubble in
the manufacture of ancient Egyptian
bricks. He procured some straw, had
it boiled and mixed the dark red liquid
thus obtained with clay. He found
that the Elasticity was greatly in
creased. Investigation showed that
tannin was the active agent, and when
he treated other clay with a solution
of tannin in water he obtained sur
prising results The strength and
Elasticity OF the clay are increased
and the tendency to shrink and warp
is greatly reduced. In this process
sun drying is far superior to burn
ing, and in ten days the clay is better
tempered than in months or even
years by the old process.-New York

IT'S a MISTAKE.

To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor
Grades Of Coffee

the poorer grades of coffee but this is
an error as the following proves: Il

grade of tea and coffee that can be
got from a first class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my
nervous system and it was not until
began to drink Postum Food Coffee
in place of coffee and tea that had
relief from the terrific attacks OF
nervous sick headache from which
had suffered for 80 years
II had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me-
Soon after / stopped drinking cot
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and it was not
long until / was entirely cured and
1 have never had a return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays 1 never

..As soon as my wife saw what Pos
cum had done for me she gave up
coffee, which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago and
she is changed woman, for her ner-
vousness has all disappeared and her
face has become smooth and her
cheeks have q good rosy red color.
She sleeps well, too, something she
could never do while she drank cot
