 Remember, we are to SOW, ever though others reap, my friend. We can at least brighten these wretched lives by furnishing them break in tile menotony of prison life, and distributing good read ing matter. But here we are at the door, and half ny flowers shattered by pulling up those narrow stairs.
 They were admitted bY the jailer to the hall. on either side of which were the cells for the more desperate criminals. Dur ing the day, the hall was used as sitting room by those not con- fined to the cells. \ dozen or more white men and negroes oc- eupied the apartment. Two Of the white prisoners, a blear-eyed man of middle age, and youth of eighteen, sat on the floor by the window, playing cards. They continued their game while the visitors distributed the papers, magazines and flowers. To a sick man they had brought fruit. To another who had requested 1t on previous visit, Bible. When Mrs. Hall drew near the card players, they laid aside their deck, and stood in respectful si- lence.
 ''I wrote to your wife as you requested. Mr. Moore,' she said to the elder man, .'and the sheriff and jaller have given me permis- sion to give you her answer. You Il see that she Is willing to forgive all, and wants you to come back when your sentence is served. V
 The man stammered his thanks, and held out his hand for the let ter and paper.
 TT here Is something on pro- hibition in that paper want you to read, continued the lady, "It Is by a man who fell to the low est depths from drink, and re- formed. He's a true man HOW. /"
 The dark-haired boys lip curl ed, and lie laughed harshly.

In all her years of work among prisoners, this was the first instance in which her offering, whether desired or not, had been criticized or ridiculed.
 Through the boys brown eyes shown a mocking devil, but his trembling lips betrayed some thing more: behind h1S bravado and show of hardness was heart. Mrs. Hall resolved to reach 1t.
 Why were you ever permitted to poison your mind with vile lit erature, young man. she asked indignantly. ''What kind of bringing up did you have?"
 The boy flushed.
 'I-didn't mean-well, my par ents are all right. They are not to blame. l naturally fancy something exciting"

Ajexander's Escape.

As a young man Alexander the Great
escaped death in curious manner. A
great banquet was being held at Pella,
the capital of Macedonia. at which
were present the future conqueror OF
the world and his father. Philip.
During the feast one of the guests
proposed a toast and prayer offensive
to Alexander, who hurled a goblet at
him. King Philip. angry at this out
rage, started up, drew his sword, and
rushed furiously upon his son; but
he had drunk so deeply that before he
reached him he fell PROSTATE among
the terrified merry-makers.
Not a whit perturbed at this ex.
traordinary escape from death. Alex.
ander retorted: Here is a man pre-
pairing to cross from Europe into
Asia, who yet can not step surely from
one couch to another"

"a young woman came to our city

incipient paresis. rheumatism. etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We eworked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day l bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and We bathed our
patient we'll and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day got box of

young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

WANTED THE WORLDS OPINION.
Prisoner Had to Have That, Though
He Went Without Luxuries.

A certain prisoner landed in Jail al
most penniless. He was man who
had figured in a number of the towns
shady transactions and his name was
pretty well known. A few days after
his incarceration he wrote to friend
asking for monthly allowance of ten
dollars to be continued during his
term of Imprisonment. The friend, re-
membering past favors, remitted the
amount each month during period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day it occurred
to him to inquire into the manner of
expending the allowance. He sup
posed it was used to buy occasional
extra meals, few cigars and newspa-
pers, but just as matter of curiosity
he asked for particulars. He found, to
his astonishment, that the prisoner
had never ordered an extra meal and
had not smoked cigar all the time
he had been in jail

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients can be- easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place pea-sized bit of White Lead
on piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. II it is pure
White Lead. little drops Of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tience the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as it's frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty Of pure White Lead.

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members Of tho
German-American society, tells story
about a German friend Of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death. but after time he
showed improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
Limburger cheese. and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
Improvement, and in order that her
husband might have a nibble at any
time he had a taste for 1t. put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
when did he die?"-Hartford Post.

THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times 30 "LIvabie"
Room.

What to do with the living room IL
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. It is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent. the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture. and durable
in material.
The rich. soft. solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures. throw the furni-
ture out in better relief. are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting. and
indicate higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when We
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up
plastered wall growing out OF hard
wood floor? Yet. that is what we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of tinted or solid col
ored wall Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use OF darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify 1t, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color OF the carpetings but 1t Is also
dependent upon the light OF the room.

Furs outshone Those Of Royalty.

Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, the wife Of the
American ambassador. never is guilty
Of that fault to which, according to
English notions. her countrywomen
are SO much addicted-overdressin
Her costumes never are elaborate,
says a London society writer. But
occasionally she gets chance TO
make a display Of wealth without lay
ing herself open to the charge of os-
tentatious vulgarity. Such an oppor-
tupity was afforded by the Bourbon
wedding. The furs she wore there
were magnificent. They were OF the
finest Russian sable, and neither OF
the two queens present nor any OF the
lesser royalties had furs that would
stand comparison with them. When
II came to diamonds. the contrast was
all the other way. In the matter Of
displaying jewelry Mrs. Reid exercises
becoming moderation. But those who
took note of her furs knew that 1t
was not question of economy.

COFFEE EYES.
II Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect of slow daily poi
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, SO
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure OF sight
alarmed me and I naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time | was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while I didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble.
concluded to quit 1t and see.
II took up Postum Food Coffee in
spite of the jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at neigh
boris was unsatisfactory. Well,

rections, boiling it a little longer, be.

was charming. l have now used Pos.
tum in place of coffee for about 8
months and my eyes are we'll, never
paining me or showing any weakness
I know to "a certainty that the cause
Of the trouble was coffee and the cure
was In quitting 1t and building up the
nervous system on Postum, for that

In diet and took no medicine.
