An eminent Devine once preached a
sermon from this text: son building and
builders" He talked of the Worlds
Great Architects, artists, authors, paint
ers, sculptors, etc. He said that every
one, no matter how low his station in life,
who left the world betrer than he found
it, was builder, that he who digged
a ditch well built for the worlds better
ment. He might also have added that
he who discovers great remedy like
Rydale's Tonic, works for the worlds bet
terment. Rydale's Tonic is human sys.
tenn builder. 1t purifies and builds the
blood, restores weak nervous systems and
increases the strength and weight. All
who have used Rydale's Tonic, pro-
nounces it great system tonic and

A BRAHMS ANECD0TE.
The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
tho Great Composer.

Among the Brahms anecdotes which
contributed by Frau Luise Pohl.
Brahms liked Baden and took as
much pleasure In a winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time.
The residents knew this when they in
v1ted him in 1876 to come and direct
some of his works. After the con-
cert the friends Of the master assem-.
bled at Goldemen Kranz by invitation
of the oberburgermeister gamer to
drink a glass of wine" The session
lasted long, but gradually the company
grew smaller. Presently they had all
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young COM
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion, whose name he
had not heard, "By the way, do you
know this young director Rubner?'
"Are you interested in bim?" he ask
ed by way Of answer.
Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he
Is not only great, but genial. Don't you
know him?''
II know him very we'll. He is an ar
rogsnt, conceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing"
The pleasure Of the evening was
spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended, with some others, breakfast
at Jensen's, where he told the story.
he had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked in.
'That's the man who slandered your
friend" said Brahms, and when ev.
erybody laughed he suspected what
was told to him as soon as the first
nan recovered.

"DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.

Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.
The expression drawing long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
of falsehood. It sometimes refers to
a wonderful story which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
10 require a firm trust in the veracity
oc the narretOr to enable the nearer to
believe 1t. Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Vir-
gil in the :'Eneid' tells of four arch
ers who were shooting for prize, the
mark being a pigeon tied by a cord to
the mast of a ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third SHOT the pigeon as it few
away. The fourth archer, having
nothing left to shoot, drew his bow
and sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the friction
of the air set the feathers on fire, and
it swept on like meteor to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in SCOTS
'1vanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon modern credulity. The famous
story Of William Tell, doubted by
many persons, is believed by others to
have a foundation of fact There was
Dane named Foke of whom the same
story is told, and William Of Cloudes.
icy, an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his experiences.
Most stories of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers
but a Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenene,
tells one that shows the tremendous
| force with which an arrow may be pro-
| PEELED if the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral Of a ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through a cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had hole
through it or not he neglects to inform
Us, probably not considering SO trifling
a matter worth mention.
Perhaps the most astounding Of all
stories about arrow shooting is that of
the Indians that used to inhabit Flor
Ida. 1t is said that group of them
would form circle, then one would
throw an ear Of Indian corn into the
air. The rest would shoot at it and
shell it of every grain before it fell to
the ground. Sometimes the arrows
would strike it so hard and fast that
It would remain suspended in the air
tor several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.
It is such stories as this which fully

the surplus or deficit each year and
then deduct the one or add the other
to the nominal price for the lights as
per the appropriation for the same.
In dividing the amount so obtainedtby
the number of lights to ascertain the
actual cost per light, care should be
taken, by those who do not want the
city humbugged, to deduct any arc
lights used by the department itself
and which do not furnish light for the
public uses. We would not pay a pri-
vate company contracting to light the
streets for arc lights in or about it's

Certain political personages in this
city have maintained that what our
street lights cost is simply the normal
cost-the annual appropriation per
light which was reduced last year from
s72 to S65. Although there has been a
