The BRIGHT Firsthorn.

They were discussing the law OF en-.
tail-the English law bequeathing tho
bulk of the family property to the
eldest son
There is so per cent. Of logic in
that law" said a physician, land if the
family property went to the f%irstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 100 per cent. Of logic.
For the first born child is practically
always the best-best in brain, in
build. in beauty, in everything.
why is this SO? 1t is because mar
ried people love one another more pro-
foundly at the beginning than after
ward; for love. like all things, grows
old, grows weak, often dies.
Mrs. Craigie-John Oliver Hobbies
was a first born child. So was Marie
Corelli. So was Richard Mansfield.
So were Joseph Chamberlain, Lord
Kitchener, Max Muller, Henry Irving,
George Meredith.
Look back into the past, and we
see again the prominence Of the first
born, among them Mohanmed, Con-
%fucius, Raphael, Milton, Dante, Goethe,
Byron, Shelly and Heine."

GEORGE KEPT HIM BUSY.
Matrimonial Engagements Seemed Al
ways in Order.

A well-known Virginia clergyman,
tnetime president of William and
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse a tempting invitation from
an old friend because-so the letter
ran-"I am going up to Williamsburg
on that date to marry my brother
George"
The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after
ward, when he was travelling to the
second ceremony. Il am going to mar
ry my brother George" the bishop
explained, benignly, after the business
of greeting was over. Again many
years passed, and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. BY a strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into the bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. Where go
ing bishop" the former sang out as
they grasped hands and dashed by
each other.
Il am going where I am always go
ing" the answer came back, ponder
ously, ito marry my brother George!"

Model for Rest of the Force.

While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being a strictly cold-water
town, she can, we believe, lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, if not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors, but he
has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was a child. He is a colored
man, was born in slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him, he re-
solved when a boy to never drink any.
thing but water. And he has reli.
giously kept the resolution. He is q

and his name is Major Franklin

Science Studies Your Baby.

Science takes a large and compre-
hensive interest in modern babies and
baby-sta %istics. says the September
Delineator.
The average weight of boy babies at
birth is even pounds; girls about six
and a half pounds. During the first
three days the child loses weight; aft
err 1t is a week old it steadily in
creaSes.
A child should increase in weight
two pounds for every addition of an
inch in height between three and four
feet, and two and one-half pounds for
every inch between four and five feet.
The healthy baby triples its weight
at birth in n year, doubles this in
six years, quadruples this weight in
13 years, and at Fl a mar weighs Il
times his weight at birth.

Better Than Steel Safe.

Iron safes being difficult to obtain
anG his subjects being in many cases
adroit thieves, the king OF Anam some
tine ago resorted to the ingenious
method of safeguarding his treasures.
In the interior of his palace the king
caused a large tank to be constructed,
which he kept constantly filed with
water Several teak logs were bored
out, and in the holes he packed his
Jewels and treasures. The holes were
then closed and the logs put into the
tank. A number of large crocodiles
were placed in the tank and kept on
short rations, SO that any thief who
attempted to get at the treasures
would be 9 tempting meal

Mansfieid's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk
Ing in New York about the late Rich"
ard Mansfield.
"Mr. Mansfield" said one, was a de-
lightful humoroist, a splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had a certain proper and becoming
sense Of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
He was, as We all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS, or
friends, any allusion to his badness.
well, one night at a party, a man
came up behind this great artist, stag
gered him with a violent slap on the
back, and exclaimed in a loud, jovial,
familiar voice:
Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time 1 see you, you get balder and
balder.'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello,' he said. 4 don't know who
yo- are, but every time 1 e you you
get ruder and ruder.'"

RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY

tits perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbng and twitching with the pains OF
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the Hnment bottle, O. some other
external application, in a effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
Contamination on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo
rarily, but ear have no direct curative effect OF the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more
than skin deep-t is rooted and grounded in the blood and a only be
reached by constitutional teatment-IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation IN the system OF refuse matter which the natural avenues
OF bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys; have failed to garry of. This
uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts Of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains
are only symptoms and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will rcappear at the first exposure to cold O
dampness, o after a n attack of indigestion r other iregularty. Rheuna-
tim never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling IN the nerves, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous SYSTEM
is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
deformed and crippled for life. S S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralzing the acids and expeIling all foreign
matter from the system 1t warns and invigorates the blood so that instead
of weak, sour stream, constantly deposit
