Remarkable Eloquence.

Here is part of an actual speech de-
livered in an Indian court of law by a
pleader: What they say is very, if not
most. ridiculously absurd to believe.
Indeed, it is incredulous. They say
that the blood few, and they did moth
ing to put the wounded into ease. This.
sir. is lie, an unmitigated lie-or
rather a falsehood. or fable, or story,
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a
terminal exactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field. which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow. The destination which they
started was half mile from the Gym
osure to which they went. Unless they
did not ride on lightning horses. how
could they reach to that premises in
five minutes? Can any man--idiot
even-will not believe such stupid
concoctation."

paderewski as Earmer.

His passion for country life has led
Mr. Paderewski, the famous pianist,
to establish farm on his estate in

occupies his time in rearing livestock
and growing agricultural produce
During a previous visit to this coun-

bought some prize pigs from farmer
in Essex who was quite unaware of
the real profession of the purchaser.
A day or two later Paderewski Wis

a Eojne Bird.

An Irishman who wasn't much of a
hunter went out to hunt one day. and
the first thing he saw to shoot at was
a blue jay sitting saucily on the top
of a fence. He blazed away at the
bird and then walked over to pick it
up. What he happened to find there
was dead frog. which he raised care
fully at arms length, looking at 1t with
a puzzled air. Finally he remarked:

A supplementarx Statement.

Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and edu.
Gator. was greatly beloved in the
south. and his visits were always en-
joyed by his former pupils and parish
toner's. In his later years it was his
custom to offer prayer whenever he
made ministerial call On one occa-
sion he called at house where three
of his former pupils were staying.
These ladies were all past the thirtieth
year mark. but in the eyes of the old
gentleman they were still girls-which
explains the petition he offered:
Lord, bless these dear girls, just
budding into sweet womanhood"

doctors deafness, added this clause,

Grateful to Cutlcura.

MY wife was taken badly with ecze-
ma for three years. and she employed
a doctor with no effect at all until she
employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One of her hands and her left eye
were badly affected. and when she
would stop using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment the eczema came back, but
very slightly, but 1t did her a sight of
good. Then we used the entire set OF

Tom oehIItree's Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree. that able con.
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled In New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions. and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackays Is
friend, the Count de Biscout. down to
the Battery to show the sight of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as "her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet iss
grand! Eet is grand! Dair iss no
such moon in all Italy!" Count"
said Ochiltree. solemnly. as befitted
the occasion. you just ought to see

FAMILY FOOD.

A little boy down in N. G. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte. where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from it
that they never pass day without
using it. While was there used the

pounds and felt so well that when re.
turned home l began using Grape Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little IS months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
1t was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in little warm
milk.

she began taking 1t regularly and inn

Years ago. when the G. A. r. annual
department encampment was held in
Boston, as the veterans were marching
along one of the avenues a lady, who
had secured an elevated position on a

prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.halt
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three

Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be.
ing vegetable extraction, are harm.
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over.
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin.
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in.
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma'

doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
