Matrimonial Arithmetic.

"'My son." said the old gentleman
in his fatherly way, you have a
good deal to learn about matrimonial
arithmetic. AS you say, your salary
is sufficient for two, and you think
you clinch the argument when you
add that one and one make two.
That's all right in business, but mat
rimonial arithmetic is one of the most
confusing things that ever happened.
In the first place, the minister takes
the tive of you and makes you one.
That would seem to make it easier
for you, but the history Of the world
shows that, figuring matrimonially.
one and one make any old number up
to twelve or sixteen, and | believe
there are records that show higher
total. In view of this, can you make
the requisite showing with yolr pres
ent salary and future prospects,"

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. HILLS Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

WHEN NATURE IS REMlsa.

Seemingly Forgct3 to Endow Human
Beings With Needed Faculties.
Nature mods undoubtedly at times,
rs In the case of the child born with
out brain whose case has been made
public this week. Not long ago an
infant was born and lived three weeks
with a hole through it's heart. Thou.
sands Of us are color blind, others
nave no musical sense. And there are
many Laura Bridgmans, many Helen
kellers. The queen Of Rormania has
or had at her court in personal at.
tendance upon herself the daughter
OF blind nobleman. She could
neither hear nor speak, and had to
be taught to communicate by holding
the throat Of speaker and initiating
the vibration produced by the effort.
But what grudge against nature
must such a one as Lyon Playfair
discovered ever feel!
Here was girl who was blind,
deaf, dumb and could neither taste
nor smell. One might be pardoned
for asking if such a life was worth
living. Yet there was q beautiful
lesson in such an existence, as the
great warm heart of Playfair discov.

and the poor mite replied in this pitt
fully pretty letter. Dear Sir Lyon
Piayfair: Sir Lyon Playfair sent Edith
ring in box. Edith thank Sir Lyon
Playfair for ring. Sir Lyon Playfair
come to see Edith. Geod-by. Edith"
During his first visit the child had
closely examined his hands, wrists,
arms and face, her touch being mar.
velously accurate. A year later he
went again to see her. At first she
did not recognize him and no one be-
trayed his identity. At length she
turned back the cuff Of his shirt and
touched his wrist. Her face lit up
with intense JOY. "It is the English.

idly spelled out on her fingers. And
in second she had flung her little
arms around his neck and was weep

Hard Work for Cupid,

PAINTS OF The ANCIENTS.
Water colors Were Invariably Used
In the Ciden Days.

Water colors Were Invariably Used
In the Ciden Days.
Paints as noC employed in the arts,
both mechanical md decorative, were
not known to the people CT ancient
times. Pigments they had in abund
ance, but the art Of mixing them so
as to make them enduring had not
been discovered. Nowadays when the
artisan is applying varnish he puts up
sign warning passers by to beware
of paint, which shows that by the
average man varnish Is regarded as
species of paint.
The two are, indeed, closely related,
but it will surprise most people to
learn that. while varnish is product
known in very remote ages, paint as
used to-day is Of comparative recent
origin.
The paint used in Babylon and Min
even and in Pompeii was composed OF
water, to which had been added a
little glue. egg albumen or perhaps
sometime casein, which is albumi-
nous matter from milk, or the gluten
from cereal grains. Glue, however,
was the most universal grinding ma
terial.
Such paints are now known rs fres
co paints or water colors. They have
not gone out of use, as is illustrated
by the reported statement that the
New York rapid transit subway walls
are to be painted throughout with
some of these preparations.
