Some Eahulous confaha.

zeus had been erthroned and an
nounced that he could do up all the
other gods by his sheer strength, but
the king of heaven didn't seem to be
in a very good humor for all that, and
the rest of the divinities wondered
what was wrong.
Taking Hebe to one side, zeus que
ried:
What was that stuff l drank last
night, and why under the shade of
Olympus do l feel like the second
joint of a stewed owl this morning?
You served the drinks, I think; maybe
you can tell me what's wrong"
HUH" snorted the pert young dam
sci OF the wine cup. You ought to
know. It's your funeral. Don't you
know yesterday was Inauguration
day?"
And was | inaugurated?" asked
Zeus in a stage whisper.
Sure; don't you feel like it?"
And the dread monarch, pressing his
hands to his aching brow, wondered
if the game was worth the candle
after all.

For Two Years Weak TO ork-A Dozen

All sufferers from weakness or disor-

with lively interest the story of the COM
plete recovery Of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
ITO be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. For two years 1 was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time I was
so weak md miserable that I could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. 1 became extremely thin and
had a sallow complexion. I had no APP
petite aud could not take any food With
out suffering great Distress"

My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
Ibid they help you at once?"
"T began to feel better the second day
after started to use the pills and by the
time 1 had taken the three boxes l was
entirely well. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
can cure even when doctors fail, and
they cure thoroughly, for a long time
has passed since my restoration to health
and 1 know it is complete and lasting"
The surest way to make sound diges-
ton is to give strength to the organs con
cerned. DR.. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other rem
edy yields such radical results.
Mrs. Darvoux lives at No. 497 Sixth
street, Detroit, Mich. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are sold by all druggists in

Old irish Burial Custom.

A very curious old custom is asso-
ciated with interments in the ceme-
terry Of LabrucK, C~onnemara, Ireland.
A box of pipes-short clays-is
brought with each coffin, and a pipe
with tobacco served out to the mourn
ers. The pipes are smoked in silence
after the earth has been filled in and
a mound Of stones raised above the
grass; the ashes are solemnly knocked
out on the top and the pipes broken or
left behind. The origin of this custom
is unknown, but it is thought to be
emblematic of "ashes to ashes, dust
to dust" Empty black bottles are
also to be found scattered about the
site

IMPORTANT TO KNOW ONESELF

Be Understood.

Only by That Means Can the World
Be Understood.
Who have lived the most common
sense lives? Well, one such was the
Emperor Aurelius. A soldier, a states
man, an administrators Of the highest
ability! AID yet a man to whom the
highest worth was the capacity so
to e the complicated facts of life in
their true relation as to be able to live
tranquil in any Circumstances. Another
person with a grand simplicity vas
the slave Epictetus. The one teaches
us that a man can have cs clear a Wis
ion and can live as heroically in a
palace as in a church, market place
or camp; the other that a lowly estate
is no bar to the ~profoundest knowledge
of human nature and the most illus
trious manhood. A wiser word was
never written than that inscribed over
the portal of the Delphic oracle:
Know %thyself!" For it is only by
self knowledge that one a know the
world and understand the lesson it
would teach mankind.-Boston Post.

Blind people Use Most Gas.

when it comes to consuming gas
in large quantities blind people can
beat their seeing brethren all hollow
said an Inspector of the Consolidated
Gas Company. 81 know two families
where both husband and wife are
blind. Every jet is turned on full tilt
in their homes at night and is kept
going at that rate clear up to IL
o'clock. Light and darkness are all
the same to the afflicted ones, but
they insist upon illumination brilliant
enough for a reception.
And that Partially for light is not
a whim peculiar to those two couples,
All blind people feel that way. They
demand the light and in all private
homes and institutions where the
blind are cared for the gas bills
vouch for their strange fancy."-New
York Press.

e. r. Santorn. the photographer OF

with the harmless species.
The other day he took the biggest
Of the king snakes out of the snarl

He's got an awful grip" said Mr..
Sanborn. "See, he's go. me hand
ouffed now, with a turn sround each
OF my arms.
"A king snake can coil so tightly
around your coat sleeve as to leave
a welt on your arm. That's the rea.
son a king snake can kill a RATHER.
He's as quick as light, and he
winds himself about the rattlesnake
and breaks its back. But he hasn't
a bit of poison"
Mr.. Sanborn declined a suggestion
that he put the king snake in a cage
of diamond backs, just to see what
would happrn.-New York Sun.

The dearest of my friends to-day
Spoke wistfully: Il nave a friend,
Who, in more ways han 1 may tell
Hath served me well;
he doth owe a debt he can not pay,
And there is none to lend."
Eager, 1 cried: "Thy friends are mine!
Speak but his name, ere time is lost.
h is his score? Whom doth he owe?
MY gold shall flow
To ease his care, whose care, o Lord, is
thine,
Nor will l grudge the cost"
And is thy love so great?" he sighed.
And turned from me, and, STOPPING,
wrote
As once of old-with kingly hand
Upon the sand
The while 1 waited, wond'ring, fun OF
pride,
Impatient to devote.
At last he rose, and looked at me;
HIS eyes were flames that burned
through tears,
Who cancels this, serves me-" he said,

which was sold recently in London, a

am disposed to think the Agra only
became famous about 1892. when it
was the subject of a lawsuit. 1t mad
been sold for 10000 pounds, but the
jury, IN the litigation referred to, by
their verdict rescinded the contract.

but the survivors are disappearing.
Several of them went in North Water

Nc Of an Australian Rlshop.

A certain bishop was famous
throughout Australia no less for his
quaint conceits than for his spiritual
vigor and %eloquence.
When one of the clergy described
a wealthy parishioner as a careless,
Indifferent sort of man, who cared
only for his garden during the day and
his billiard room at night, he said:
Garden! Billiards! Don't call him
careless; he evidently minds his peas
ard cues"
To the rude question of a d~issipat-
ed passenger on board ship, why do
you veal that thing?" Ga CROSSE, he
replied: For the same reason that
you wear a red nose-as a mark OF
my occupation"
