No Need Of Suffering from Rheums
tism.l

! IL Is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, az. the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
chamberlain's : Liniment. The relief
from pain which 1t affords is alone
worth many times its cost, It makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
OF long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
1t affords. Do not be discouraged
until you have given it a trial. For

Ancient waterw,orks.,

Hezekiah. king of judah. who reigned
In the years til to 6SS B, O., was a
pioneer in constructing system Of
waterworks. bringing water into the
city of Jerusalem. In the holy. book
we read: HE made the pool and con-
duit and brought the water into the
city, stopping the upper part Of Gihon.
and brought 1t straight down to the
west side of the city of David. And
Hezekiah prospered In all his works"
From the ..pools Of Solomon near
Bethlehem. water was conveyed to
Jerusalem, a distance of six or seven
miles. through a conduit OF earthen
pipe about ten inches 10 diameter. The
pipe was incased within two stones,
hewn out to 1T 1t, then covered over
with rough stones cemented together.

Anecdote Shows Litisious Nature Of

The Diamond Fields Advertiser, re-

natives of South Africa, gives the fol-

matter but he rendered the costs OF
the appeal to the attorney and insist

to act as was thought best. the attor-

Collecting Old Glass.

glass aud china together? The com
bination is as incongruous as ivory

china seem heavy. and the deep tones
of china cause glass to become lifeless.
Glass needs a cabinet to itself, where

There We Are In cortact with Some
ef the Finest lssvss % LIE.

The field Of friendship 10 wide one
and all our neighbors. both near and
far. should be candidates for admis-
sion there. The appearance OF cold
esteem, the passing salutation. empty
OF everything save chill Formally,
have larger possibilities behind them
than we are wont to imagine. At any
rate, to believe so, honestly and con.
scientiously, is an indication Of an &C
tive faith, and Is far wholesomer than
the suspicious that do their utmost to
master us. 1t Is only through this be-
lief that we shall bring ourselves In
contact with some Of the finest issues
of life and come to understand the
unities and harmonies OF existence.
Nevertheless, 1t Is well TO bear In
mind the important fact that man is
not our only friend and neighbor.
Neither patience nor investigation Is
necessary to the discovery that all
things about us are capable Of invit-
ing neighborliness and dispensing 1t
to those who are wise enough to take
advantage of the hospitality that is
constantly proffered. The towering
trees Though they do not seem to
tower as high as they did when we
were youngerL the humble creeping
vines, the delicate flowers that spring
up IN a night. casual and ravishing,
the whole movement and rush of ma
ture In her vigorous and insistent
moods. belong to neighborliness In the
most significant and satisfactory
sense. It is something of q relief to
discover that we need not depend en-
tirely on man for companionship--
though beyond all doubt the best OF
his kind are to be treasured in what
ever relation or condition they are
found.-The late Joel Chandler Harris.

Real Life in the Country.

The Vision Of City Children.

A well.known English surgeon
called attention. some time ago. to the
inability of city children to see well
at great distance, caused, he said,
by their restricted line of vision. The
other side Of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity Of using
their sight. II Is different with coun-
try children, who have an expanse OF
landscape to look at. and can practice
their sight on great variety Of OBJ
jects at a distance He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible chance to do the same. and
thss train the sight and strengthen the
eyes at the same time. There Is SO
much good sense in this suggestion
and 1t should have the serious atten-
ton of fathers and mothers.

About IL o'clock Tommy appeared
at Miss Manners door. She dropped
her book. grasped him firmly by the

turned him over her knee, and admin

heels in an anteroom. Finally, his
patience becoming exhausted, he sum-
moned an attendant, to- whom he said:

HOW THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.

No one has been able to decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
we're handled; for even allowing for
the vast army Of men. some sort of
mechanical contrivmce must have
been used
One theory Is that as each course
of stone was laid sand embankment
was built around it with long, easy
slopes 80 that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place, without any actual
lifting, and so on, the pyramid being
in fact buried as fast as II was built,
until the top was reached, when the
stupendous job of removing the sand
embankfnent was commenced.
This might account for the vast
army of laborers laed; for instance.
II is said Iat in building the great
pyramid of Cheops 100000 men We're
employed for 80 years. although the
quarry from which the stone was OBJ
tanned was nearly 5000 feet from the
pyramid .-Engineering MasSzine.
