original site and is now under the
stone canopy that surmounts the main
rock on Water street. Charles Sumner

many sketches for the children of his
friend, j. Comyns Carr. He once
laughingly proposed to instruct the
eldest boy in the principles Of anato-

two beautiful drawings representing
the anatomy of the good man and the
good woman, in both of which the
heart, magnificently large, winged and
backed by spreading flames, is the cen.

By special request he made another
drawing, illustrating the anatomy Of
the bad man. On being met with the
reproach that the third drawing show
ed nothing of the details of Internal

"There are none. The bad man is
quite hollow"
On being challenged to illustrate the
anatomy of the bad woman he grave
ly replied:

They Injure
Children
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills
and Harsh Physic Cause
Distressing Complaints

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for chill
dren. Only the very gentlest bowel
medicine should ever be given, ex-
cept in emergency cases. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do more harm than good.
They cause gripping, nausea and
other distressing after-effects that
are frequently Notwithstanding and
a life-lastlng annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance
where it fails to give entire salts
faction, and we urge all in need of
such medicine to try it at our risk
Rexall Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless. As
an active agent, it embraces the val
liable qualities of the best known
intestinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are particularly
prompt and agreeable in action,
may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause diarrhma,
nausea, gripping, excessive loose
ness or other undesirable effects.
They have very natural action
upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act
as a positive and regulative tonic
upon the relaxed muscular coat Cf
the bowel and its dry mucou
lining; remove irritation, overcome
weakness, tone and strengthen Tie
nerves and muscles, and restott
the bowels and associate organs
to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely re-
lieve constipation, except when OF
a surgical character. They also
tend to overcome the necessity of
constantly taking laxatives to keep
the bowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose so good as Rexall
Orderlies, especially for children,
aged and delicate persons. They
are prepared in tablet form, in
two sizes OF packages: u tablets
10 cents, and 36 tablets 25 cents.

Tho Hypocrite a Genius.

Really to be hypocrite must re-
quire horrible strength of character.
An ordinary man such as you or gen
orally fails at last because he has not
enough energy to be man. But the
hypocrite must have enough energy tt
be two men. 1t is said that liar
should have good memory. But a
hypocrite must have not only good
memory of the past, but consistent
and creative vision of the future; his
unreal self must be so far real to him.
The perfect hypocrite should be trim
ity of artistic talent. He must be II
novelist like Dickens to create false
character. He must be an actor like
Garrick to act it. And he must be Il
business man like Carnegie to profit
by it. Such a genius would not be
easy to find in any country.-G. Is.

Several Varieties Are Valuable For
Food Purposes.
Seaweed is not much to look at, but
seaweed does not depend so much upon
beauty as upon more substantial merit
to make itself worthy of attention.
Various species of 1t are used in manu-
factures, and several varieties are edi-
bic, the most important of the latter
being Irish or carrageen moss, used in
the preparation of ellies-blancmange
for instance-dulse or dillesk, very
highly thought of by Scotland, partic-
ularly when roasted by wrapping about
hot tongs, and kelp or tangle.
Irish moss and some other species,
particularly eel grass and fiat stalk rock
weed, have been found valuable as
cattle food, especially when boiled to
destroy the rank taste and mixed with
meal. The eel grass and rock weed
compare favorably with hay as regards
the most important constituent-pro-
tein-containing 6.03 and S.21 per cent
respectively. They are deficient in fat,
but contain large amount Of ash
The great bulk Of the seaweed gath
cred. however, is used as a fertilizer,
and the average seaweed contains
large quantities of all the essential fer
tilizing elements. Allowing 10 cents a
pound for nitrogen, 2 cents pound
for phosphoric acid and cents
pound for potash-and these are as
low prices as it is possible to procure
those materials in any form-a ton of
seaweed containing 80 per cent water
is worth as fertilizer $1.42 ton
