suitable place Of worship as a sign to
the multitude. W
The building was dedicated we be-
lieve at the beginning of the present
year and though without authority
as to denomination we venture to say
| it looks Presbyterian from the out
side.
We regret that lack of space will
prevent us from presenting to your
notice our townsmen Of the profess
sional class. Yet we must make brief
mention of Professor Kirk, Truth
Doctor and naturalist after Roose-
aets own heart, to whose voice we
never get tired listening as he relates
how the elephant stung him whilst he
was pursuing nature studies in Seat
tie.
And in administrative circles we
are fortunate too. We boast judici-
airy whose decisions would relegate
Solomon to altogether another class;
and a constabulary whose zeal and
courage is such that he has been
known to track blind pig through
the painless jungle unarmed and
alone boarding the fierce animal in its
den without the CULVER Of an eyelid.
For reasons of state we refuse at
present to disclose the exact numer-
ical data regarding the population Of
Burlington. But lest our motive be
misunderstood we can give assurance
that the increase for the past year
has approximate 100 per cent, and #
the same ratio is continued for the
next decade Burlington in 1917 will
be city of 25,400 inhabitants.
The graveyard is the only lonesome
spot in town. Perhaps this is as it
should be but to some of the thought
less it seems in manner a reflection
upon our enterprise. Be this as it
may although we have frequent Wis
it's from Minot doctors the cemetery
is not in fiourishing condition.
And now in conclusion of this by
no means exhaustive sketch Of our
resources we hope that your readers
will coincide with us in the opinion
that though Burlington may be a
village its inhabitants are urban and
it's ambitions metropolitan.

Even old Pling wrote of "pisework,' pronounced "pee-say-work." It was suggested by the building processes oi the ants. and the durable walls made according to those wonderful archi tects of the insect tribe were called "formacie." The method was well known to the ancients. and some of the oldest houses in the world today are Of this construction.

 BLOOD TONIC Splendid Prescription to Be Used When the Blood Is Out of Order-Highly Recommended
MAKES KIDNEYS WORK
Nix It Up Yourself as It Don't Cost Much and Cleans the Blood Of I'm. purities-Any Pharmacy Can Sup. ply Ingredients.

A leading health journal, in answer ing the question, What is the best prescription to clean and purify the blood prints in a recent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dande- lion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla three ounces. Shake we'll and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 Ii cleans the blood of all iTn- purities and nourishes the blood. In just few days the skin be- gins to clear of sores, bols and pim- ples. It puts vigor and energy into rundown, debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsaparilla alone has been considered a good blood medicine But while it built up and made new blood, the impurities remained within and the good accom- plished was only temporary. Sarsa- parilla, however, when used in com bination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion works wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acid and other impurities that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and bladder troubles.
 This prescription is better than the usual patent medicines, which are in the most part alcoholic connections. The ingredients cost but little and are easily mixed at home. Every man and woman here should make some up and try it if they feel their system requires a good blood medicine and tonic

A Words Birthday.

It is curious to see how new word extends our vocabulary. For Instance, the discovery of photography has led to 234 words being added to the lan- guage. Dr. Murray fixes March 14, 1889, as the birthday Of the word pho tography." It was ca that day that Sir John Herschel used 1t in a paper which he read before the Royal so- ciety. The new word took root ir France, and two or three months later when Argo made his report to the chamber of deputies concerning the pension of M. Daguerre he quoted photographer as a generally accepted word.

Overcome Evil With Good.

"Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good. Aim at that
which is good, cleave to that which
is good; occupy your time with that
which is good, fill your thoughts with
that which is good, and the assaults
of evil will have lost half their power.
An earnest employment sr-ady
purpose in life, dillsont nsu of
time-theSe are an irresistible ,Jan-
oply against vice, these strike GU. of
the DEVILS hands his worst lmple-
ments of temptation.
You will remember that terrible
truth in one of the Lords sternest
parallels, about the evil spirit return
ing to the house whence he came out,
and finding it empty, swept, and
garnished;" then goeth he and taketh
to himself seven other spirits more
wicked than himself, and they enter
in and dwell there, and the last state
of that man is worse than the first.
What does that empty, swept, and
garnished" mean? 1t means that If
your heart is not pre-occupied with
good, it will be invaded by evil.
Oh, beware of idleness in it's every
form, idle representations, IDLE talk,
idle habits, idle thoughts, these are
the certain ruin of the soul. The
laborer who stands idle in the mar
ket-place is ever ready to be hired
in the Devils service. The worm of
sin gnaws deepest into the idle heart.
Pre-occupy your heart with good =
pre-occupy your time with honest in
dustry, and you are safe. Whatever
things are true, honest, just, pure,
lovely, of good report, if there be any
virtue, any praise, think on these
things. Evil can as little encroach on
the domain of good as darkness can
force it's way into the circle of radi-
ance which a lamp filings into the
night. Remember that since all sin
begins in thought, If your thoughts
are safe then you are safe.-F. w.

nize ths essential charm and worth Of

nize tns essential charm and worth OF
common things. Newton beheld the
Secret of the rainbow in a soap bub-
BILE; Linnaeus found the magic OF
Paradise in gorse-bush Tyndall
was bewitched by a snowfiake; and
our biologists exult in the knowledge
that the common highway is not dust
and dirt, as the ignorant contemptu-
ously suppose, but jasper, sapphire
and gold. And this is equally true in
regard to the relations and environ
ments of human life. The rich, the
titled and the fashionable, If only suf-
ficiently little of soul, will sheer, at
the common herd but all seers, all
great souls, discern the grandeur Of
the honest man, however colorless his
lot, the sufficiency of the most meager
circumstances for the attainment of
the higher ends; and our Lord pre-
eminently enforced these great les
sons.
He who revealed so much, revealed
the essential glory of the unheroic.
By His example, not less than by His
word, He taught that life does not
consist in the. abundance, the unique
ness, or the splendor of what we
possess. Few things" are enough
for many sided discipline of charac-
ter. A superior mind, pure heart,
discovers rich and infinite entertain
ment in ordinary duties and joys, from
which coarse souls turn with loathing
as being insipid and worthless. A
philosopher tells us to study small
variations of the commonplace; and
no doubt If we do this intelligently
and sympathetically, we shall need
no other dramas or romanceS.
The dreariest lot has openings for
magnificent charity and sacrifice.
The most prosaic calling, duly inter-
preted, is replete with glory. honor
and permanence, and is crowned with
eternal recompense.
There ought not to be in any hui
man life servility and dependence; no
painful need or vulgar wretchedness
should embitter and degrade; drudg-
cry proper, beggarliness, meanness
and pauperism form no part of Gods
ordination for any man, and there
is much seriously wrong when such
a state of things is possible. Our
Lords life was just as far from vuls
gar poverty as from vulgar greatness,
sordid wealth, or selfish gaiety.
None need be ashamed of the COM
mon lot; it's honorableness, it's eff
cacy, it's boundless possibilities have
been demonstrated by Him who is at
once our supreme Teacher and Ex-
ample. A special silver medal was
recently given by the Botanic Society
to an exhibitor who showed how to
convert an ordinary and uplv wall
into delightful rock garden. Our
great Master can teach us how to con-
vert the poorest, draariest life into a
thing of beauty which shall also be a
joy forever.

the highest is $50, in Glamorgan, and
the lowest 1916, in Cardigan; in Scot
