There comes time In mans career

But few are those who make no sign and

On tho pedestal OF duty. but lnwardly

That fashions social functions are very

The maidstone owned by Mr.. Tyler IS
an inch and one-half long, three-quar-
tiers of an inch wide or deep, of a
dark brown color, and shaped almost
like an almond kernel. When the stone
is applied TO a wound which contains

pores are filled, when It win drop off
