Hail candlelight, without disparngs-
ment to the sun or moon, the kindiiest
luminary Of the three. II we may not
style thee radiant deputy. mild viceroy
of the moon! We love to read, talk, sit
silent eat, drink, sleep by candlslight
They are everybody's sun and noon
This is our peculiar and household
planet. BY the midnight taper the
writer digests his meditations. BY the
same light we must approach to their
perusal II we would catch the fame
the odor. Night and silence call out
the starry fancies. Mllton's Morning
Hymn In Paradise" we would hold
a good wager, was penned at mid
night and Taylor's rich description Of
a sunrise smells decidedly Of the taper.
Even now a lOftier speculation than we
have attempted courts our endeavors.
We would indlte something about the
solar system. Betty, bring the can
dles."-Charles Lamb.

made her departure amid like eere-

woman bethefing her head ever sug-

preeent wanted a gown copied from
the ono the princess had bought and
she GOT It after much pleading and at
a price far beyond the limit she had

The princess was no princess, bat an

Every French gown has two prices

Everybody is likely to have kidney
and bladder trouble. In fact nearly
everybody has some trouble OF this
kind. That is the reason why you so
often have pains in the back and
groin, scalding sensation, urinary dis
orders. etc.-that's your kidneys. The
best thing to do is to get some Of De-
Wits Kidney and Bladder Pills right
away. Take them for few days or
a week or so and you will feel all
right. In this way, too, you will ward
off dangerous and possibly serious all
ments. They are perfectly harmless,
and are not only antiseptic, but allay
pain quickly by their healing proper

Arms, leos and tho Man,

How many Of as have noticed that
we walk with our arms as we'll as with
our legsl Sitting on grassy slope
overlooking a seaside promenade I was
struck by the mechanical swing Of the
arms Of the stream Of passersby--the
right arm always keeping position with
the left leg and the left arm with tho
right leg. by attempting to reverse the
order OF the swing I found that had
tendency to progress like crab,
while the effort to keep them fixed by
the side was like the shutting of the
steam from the engine. Arms and the
man must be amended to arms, legs
and the man!-London Chronicle.
