Sheep Have to Work.

In the northern part OF India sheep
are put to a use unthought- of in Eu-
ropean or American countries. They
are made TO serve as beasts of burden
because they are more sure-footed than
larger beasts. and the mountain paths
along the foothills of the Himalayas are
steep and difficult. The load for each
sheep is from sixteen to twenty pounds
The sheep are driven from village to
village. with the wool still growing. and
in each town the farmer shears as much
wool as he can sell there and loads the
sheep with the grain which ne receives
in exchange. After his flock has been
sheared he turns il homeward

Tennyson's humor.

There, was a playful humor in
Lord Tennyson that rarely showed
itself unless the poet was within the
familiar circle of his friends. John
Blackwood, member of the famous
firm of publishers, gave an amusing
instance Of this in one Of his let
tiers:
The Rev. James White, rector Of
. neighboring parish, and Tenny-
son were chatting each other, as
their custom was, concerning the
merits of their respective houses.
II believe part of Bonchurch be-

Rheumatic Folks.
Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
Well2

Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove all
uric acid in the blood. It's presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don daily with uric acid solve
ments. /" You might go on till
doomsday with them, but until you
cure the kidneys you will never get
well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only
remove uric acid, but cure the
kidneys and then al danger from
uric acid is ended. Here is Wash
burn testimony to prove it.
Mrs. M. Taberman, Third st. Wash
burn, Wis.,, says: 81 have been a
sufferer from kidney trouble and
rheumatism. I suffered a great
deal from pain in the small of my
back and in my side and limbs. I
had dizzy spells and dull pains in
the back part OF my head. felt
weak much of the time and had no
energy. The kidney secretions were
unnatural and highly colored. I
finally heard of Doan's Kidney Pills
and sent to Sweets drug store for
them. I have been improving
since I began their use. My back
seldom hurts me now. my kidneys
are much better and have gained
strength.

VERY QUEER PEWS.
Amusing Oddities of Some Ancient
English Churches.

Amusing Oddities of Some Ancient
English Churches.
Some pews in the fine old church
at Malpas, Cheshire, possess a most
amusing popularity Each one con-
sists of several seats. which are real
ly, though not. apparently, detach.
cd, and they look easy and com.
Portable. In this case appearances
are deceitful, for should one occu-
pant of any one seat lean forward
while "nidpid nodding" over he
goes on the floor. The seat is so
constructed as to easily tip over
when any weight is placed on it's
outer or front edge and was SO de-
signed to prevent people from going
to sleep in church.
We still find in a few of our an
Gent churches the high pews, luxu-
rious cushions and curious fittings
of former days.
In the good old times. when the
squire was lord of all he surveyed
in the village, his pew in the parish
church was often a kind of sitting
room. One such pew occupies the
whole of the south transept of the
diminutive church at Cation, in
Surrey. 1t has a fireplace, low
seat which extends around two sides
of the room and blue tapestry dec
grafton. Above it is another floor,
on which are three or four ordinary
pews for the use of the squire's
servants, and from it covered way
leads to Cation Hall, some few
yards away. There may be some
truth in the story that former
squire used to enjoy a pipe by the
fireplace during the sermon and
that if he became weary he would
go out through the private door for
short stroll in the churchyard.
A similar pew exists in a church
at Colwich, Staffordshire. It has
staircase leading to private door,
and it 10 said that the postman
came this way to convey letters and
that the servant brought in cake
and wine for consumption during
the service.
The royel pew of St Georges
chapel, Windsor, is peculiar, because
it is the largest of its kind in Eng
land and on account of its being sit
usted above the choir, down upon
which the queen can see the service
from fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Nor
folk, is pew for strangers and we'd
ding parties. It was constructed by
. shepherd and bears a cheerful,
suggestive piece Of ornamentation
in the shape Of the carving of a
skeleton, with the following inscrip-
ton:
For couples Joined In wedlock: and my
Friend
That stranger is: This seat did intends
phen Crisbee,
All you that doe this Place pass By.
A you are now, even % was I.
And a. am soc shall you bee.
Ammo Domini 1910.
A game of whist played in pew
would nowadays cause considerable
comment, yet it seems that the
square pews at Trowbridge were
used for this purpose at the time
the "poet" Crabbe was droning
away in the pulpit.
{ Other interesting old pews have
names and occasionally coats Of
arms painted on them thus:
THE Rectory Pew The
Churching Pew and, best of all,
The Hall Dogs Pew"
