BLACK WEED, the great vegetable
remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, and
Kidney and Bladder complaints, has met
with almost instantaneous success be-
cause it has made some noteworthy
cures of very severe cases.
Mr.. John Post, of the Atlanta Fire
Dept, writes:
"For months l suffered with my kid
neys. l made every effort to get relief,
but failed until l accidentally came in
possession of a bottle of Black Weed.
The relief obtained from its use was SO
great before half the first bottle had
been used, that I put aside all other
medicines and am now sound and well,
having been cured completely by Black
Weed. At the same time l had an az
gravated case of Catarrh of the head
and throat Black Weed has completely
cured this, and my head is now "a clear
rs bell.

There were several strains of blood
in JOash's veins-some good and some
evil. He was not responsible for this,
for he could not choose his ancestors
But some thing was certainly with
in his power. He could say which
tendency should have right of way,
which strain of blood should be as
cendant.
In asserting the power of heredity,
it has been said that it is the dead
hand that rules us. But the live hand
must grapple the dead one All I'M
worthy ancestral ghosts can be laid.
Where there's a will there's a way.
Jehoiada was a better monitor to
JOash than Seneca was to Nero. Per-
haps, however, Nero was "A subject.
But JOash seems not to have been
able to stand alone without his priest
ly counselor, for after the latter's
death he apostitized in a miserable
way. The final test of character is
its ability to stand without a prop.
The religion which always needs
bolstering is not much account.
1t is said that it costs $4,000 per
annum to keep st. Peters Cathedral
in repair. There is a village on the
roof of the cathedral where the work
men lives. If this outlay of money
was RENTED for awhile and the work
men discharged, one can easily see
how the vast building would get out
of repair. Bat in this instance Sol
onions Temple was not only neglect
edit was looted.
Sticking stubbornly to ;he first
adopted plan is often matter of
logged pride. It's the broad minded
person who concels self, drops the
plan which proves futile, and adopts
another. Jehoiada did that when he
substituted the chests scheme for the
personal canvass.
What the Roman Forum is to Rome
and the Acropolis is to Greece, the
temple is to Palestine A history of
the temple is 3 history of the nation.
Names illustrious and ignoble, deeds
valorous and despicable, doctrines of
faith and nsages of rituaI,-all are
shrined and exemplitied there. 1t is
the epitOme of a thousand years.
1t is no wonder that the repair of
such building became matter of
State, and that the king took person
al supervision Of it. But the crown
was not able as in Solomon's day, to
carry out the enterprise unaided. The
cooperation of the people must need
be urged, and there was the reflex
advantage. incident to such co-opera-
ton.
God is absolutely independent, but
He has made Himself relatively de-
pendent, not for His own advantage,
but for that of His creatures. For
example, in His infinite power He
could have built his own temple and
kept it in repair. But it pleased the
Owner of the universe to make Him
self mendicant and come and ask
aims in order that His creatures might
have the reflex advantage tof volun-
tary cooperation with Him in His en-
terprise.

he was notified of his nomination a,
White Sulphur Springs he was found to

thoughts wander ed and his phrases were
tangled like a skein of yarn that a kitten

He had had no contact nor sympathy

long withdrawal from everything and al.

banks said nothing about the matter an.
the man who Is writing his biography
found 1t out by discovering the following
letter from Governor Mount. addressed
to Senator Fairbanks. under date OF May
3. 1898. The letter reads as follows:
My Dear Senator-Permit me to say, In
reply to your patriotic tender Of your
services, that l commend your ioyalt,
to the state and Indiana. The offer OF
your services as a soldier means that
you are ready to make any sacrifice 70,
the preservation of the national honor.

render that service in the United States
senate. In this connection l desire to
commend your patriotic course. You
great speech on the Cuban question was
not consent to your leaving the senate
Your constituents would protest. We
need statesmen as much as soldiers. We
can fill the places OF soldiers much easier
than the seats OF senator's.
No one can place a higher estimate
than I place upon the offer of your ser
vices to the state as a soldier. but above
