Parinn visita In Australla.

In Australia a months visit to =
country house would be nothing Two
months-three months-six months-as
long as you like would not be consider
ed too long. other things being equal.
Nobody thinks Of dates. To write and
invite you from the 18th to the 30th
would be rude. You are asked to stay
as long as you like. or else you ask
yourself to stay as long as you like. or
even--to face all the contingencies
you neither ask nor are asked. You
simply go. And. having arrived. you
remain. for the one unfailing commodi-
ty Of an Australian country house is
welcome. Everything else may give
out. If you stay long enough there is
sure TO be a time when there are no
servants, no milk, no vegetables, no
meat but mutton. or even no water.
but the thoughts of guests going away
will never enter the minds Of the host
and hostess. Good nature. gayety. in.

LittIe Paint s.alv AppIicd,

The Journal des Debets In an article

the play "I'1omme de Destln' was
taken from the stage when its triumph
was at the zenith. One evening, ac-
cording TO the story. the emperor. ac-
companied by his friend Duroc, went
in disguise to the Porte st. Martin

formed. Eugene Chevaller appearing
as the man of destiny. They bought
a box. but had hardly entered it when
the emperor broke forth in violent exc
crations against the fool managers" !"
1t seemed that the decorators Ind left
in the box pots of oil and paint and
into these the emperor had stepped
.'wild with rage" says the writer, "he
rushed from the house and, to make
matters worse, was recognized in the
lobby. No paper mentioned the incl
dent. but by order Of the emperor the
play was never produced again. and
Chevalier never appeared again as the
man Of destiny-ond all on account Of

TO MAKE THE
BEST REMEDY
Fine Home Prescription TO
Relieve Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles

The following prescription for the
cure Of rheumatism and kidney and
bladder troubles has no doubt been
filled millions of times. viz: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. These simple, harmless in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at little cost
and are mixed by shaking well in a
bottle.
The dose for adults is teaspoon
ful after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking a full tumblerful of water
after each dose. 1t is stated that this
prescription is a positive remedy for
kidney trouble and lame back, weak
bladder and urinary difficulties, espe-
cially Of the elderly people. and one
of the best things to be used in rheu-
matte Affections. relieving the aches
and pains and reducing swellings.
A well-known authority states that
this mixture acts directly upon the
eliminative tissues OF the kidneys;
cleanses these spongelike organs and
gives them power to sift and strain the
poisonous waste matter and uric acid
from the blood which is the cause Of
rheumatism.
IF your back or sides ache and you
suspect kidney trouble IT would be
wise to try this for a few days.
