De deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty Of them, no matter what
line Of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success OF
a1y kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief, as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less. afraid to buy certain adver-
tised articles lest they be hum
plugged and deluded; especially
are they slow to place confidence
in published statements OF the
merits of medicines. The effec-
tive modern remedy known as

manufacturers with a worldwide
reputation. We could not afford
to exaggerate it's qualities or mis-
represent it in the least; and it

as honey and contains the nu-

NERO AND HIS VOICE.

In an interesting paper M. Mcure
and NJ Bouyer relate the extraordinary
care which the Emperor Nero took OF
his voice. At night Nero lay on his
back, with a thin plate of lead on his
stomach. He abstained from fruits
and all dishes which could hurt bis
voice. In order not to damage the
purity of its sound he ceased haran-
guing the soldiers and the senate. He
attached to his service an officer spe-
cially deputed to take care of his voice
He talked only in the presence of this
singular official who warned him when
he spoke too loudly or forced his
voice, and if the emperor, carried
away by some sudden fit of passion
did not listen to his remonstrances il
was his duty to stop his mouth with
a napkin.-Modern Medicine.

BANANAS.

Bananas" says an authority, "are
by millions of people eaten green OF
ripe. raw or cooked, are served in al
ways in which apples, grains and po-
tatoes are used and are palatable
heaithful and nutritious in every way
in which they are prepared. They
make excellent bread, cakes and pies
buildings, confectionery and coffee sub
stitutes, yield brandy, beer, vinegar
sugar, oil and fibers. They are bought
as a luxury by millions who may use
them as a staple food. Yet they may
be grown proftably in a small area
only. Therefore banana culture affords
a perfectly safe and gainful use OF
time and money"

THE HOME HUSH.

The pipe me father used to smoke
Is hangin' on the wall.
I don't know where his hat has gone
At all, at all, at all;
The cowhide boots he used to wear
Stand in the corner near.
Beneath the go-to-meetin' coat
He wore for twenty year.
An all is still about the house,
As still as still can be,
An not a voice from anywhere
Is calm out to me.
An when 1 move about at all
It's noiseless is me tread;
T know too much to make noise
When father is in bed.

The Edibie menu Cara.

In London the latest thing is 'bill
OF eat" that you may finish your meal
on. The sheet on which it is printed
Is the sugar paper used on the bottom
or macaroons, while the lettering is
cake frosting. The London caterer
who invented" the edible menu card
mas been honored by the patronage of
the king. The king commanded" the
caterer to teach his chef to make the
edible novelty. and the kings chef pro-
duced 1t for dinner at Windsor cas-
Tie. There was much laughter as the
kings guests discovered that their
menu cards" were good to eat. They
promptly ate them. 1t is said that the
only bad thing about the cards is the
bad French, and that II quite d.
sestible.

The Old Ace Problem.

Frank Il. Bullen writes from New
Zealand: "Of course you have heard
all about the old age pension system
out here, which is now about to be ex-
tended TO Australia. 1t is hailed with
intense satisfaction by all classes, who
pride themselves upon having solved a
problem that has bafiled all the ma
tons. In Auckland is the Costley
Home For Aged People. Here. with
their pensions. the old folk can live
most comfortably and do, having entire
liberty to do what they please, just as
II they had retired upon competency
of their own earning, and, indeed. they
are led to regard the old age pension
in that very light"

rooms of London.
Christie's is the aristocrat among
salesrooms. James Christie "a was n
scholar and an exquisite, and when he
lied il was said Of him that he had
raised the business he followed to q
profession. The tradition has always
remained. Mr.. Woods, so well known
for years, had TO perfection the grand
manner" and there has always been an
avoidance at Christie's OF the hyperbole
Of the auctioneer.
Charles Dickens treasures were
brought from Gadshiil TO be sold with
IN It's walls. Here, too, I'm more recent
years was sold the Duke OF Cambridge's
collection. and indeed the auctioneer at
Christie's may be said to be the au-
thor OF the epilogues OF great men.
One of the most amusing incidents
that ever happened at the King street
rooms concerned well known though
rather impecunious man about town
who had to buy n wedding present and
thought he was getting tremendous
bargain when silver ornament was
knocked down to him for 80 shilllngs.
But he found to his horror that the bid.
ding was so much an ounce and that
the vase was appallingly heavy.

bic, always unrufiied.
Christie's, too, has a steady follow
ing of elderly ladies. who occupy the
same seats and with no intention TO
buy make occasional bids. trembling
with fear until some one outbids them.
The Saturday sales have been popu-
lar with the professional and business
man with few hundreds to spend and
with little leisure, and this class will
regret their disappearance.
The first large sale at Christie's was
that of the Bernal collection in 1885.
the amount realized being f70.954. The
most sensational sale of all was that of
the Hamilton palace collection in 1882.
For seventeen days the auctioneer was
engaged in knocking down articles Of
art until grand total OF 1897, 562 was
realized.
From the sixties until the beginning
OF the present century the following
notable auctions took place at Chris
ties;

Those Empty Pews.


Some years ngo our church paper
contained very able article on empty
pews. The writer went on TO say he
had no doubt whatever that very
many churches would gladly give n
liberal reward to any person who could
tell how to fill the empty pews. AS far
as we know, no one has as yet come
forward to solve the knotty question or
capture the prize. What an immense
burden would be lifted from many
faithful pastors heart and from the
financial and spiritual departments of
church life IL this stern reality could be
removed. 1t is not our intention to go
along the old beaten path OF the spir-
ituai life of the church, but possibly TO
consider it more from it's material
side.-J. b. Campbell. d. D., in Chris
