More Than Enough is Too Much.

To maintain health, mature man
or woman needs just enough food to
repair the waste and supply energy
and body heat. The habitual CON
sumption of more food than is necessa-
ry for these purposes is the prime
cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism
and disorders of the kidneys. If troub-
led with indigestion, revise your diet,
let reason and not appetite control and
take a few doses of Chamberlain S
Stomach and Liver Tablets and you
will soon be all right again. Fol sale

IN HIS SORROW.

Editor News: \
Ny heart is filled with sadness, a sad
ness such as / never knew before. The
light and joy of my home has been
blown out, light that shone for AZ
years. l am alone. have no home,
all is gone. The grim monster, death,
has done its work in spite of all l
could do, and the medical skill employ
ed. My wife is dead, no, not dead,
but asleep in Jesus. But, thank God,
for Al years she has lived a consistent
christian and died triumphant, leaving
to her Oh ildren something better than
silver and gold, good name. Oh, l
am so glad not stain of any kind or
description mars her character. She
was model, worthy of emulation and
hope and pray her three daughters
will walk in the footsteps of their
sainted mother and the four boys will
remember the counsels of their mother
and her love. Her last thoughts and
words were about Charlie, her young
est son, she told him to be a good boy
and do right. Charlie is 25 years old,
and stuck to his mother as long as she
lived which endeared him to her.
Charlie, l hope, will never forget his
mother, but be good man and should
he ever marry hope he will get girl
like his mother, one worthy of emula-
tion, for all who knew his mother
know she was a good woman whose
price was far above rubies. Enemies,
she had none; friends, all who person
ally knew her.
It's hard after 43 years companion
ship to have the tie severed, but such
is the decree of God, and with all the
boasted intelligence of the age, moth
ing has yet been discovered that will
defeat death, and drive the terrible
monster from the land. We are utter
ly powerless, no dodging or evasion is
possible.
To all of our friends let me say,
words fail to express mine and the
ohildren's appreciation for the kind
ness shown us in this, our severest sor-
row we've ever had to face. We didn't
know we had so many kind, warm
bealted friends, friends who we're
swift to lend a helping hand. Oh,
God, bless them all Oh, my heart is
torn as never before. PRAY for me, all
readers of the News, for 1 hope you all
are my friends though I have never
seen your faces | am now lone old
man whose home has been destroyed
and wrecked by death, the terrible
one of the happiest for 43 years, a
home that l boasted of and wrote
about, home my little wife made and
builded, and home loved. Oh, my
an and brutal to his WIFE Is such
man or a devil Only devil can and
will mistreat his wife. That sin I'll
never have to answer for No, never,
All my desire is to be good, live right

Adenoids are curious little eaulifioyy-

CORRECT SPELLING.
There Was Time When II Was Nos
Considered Important.

There Was a Time When It Was Nss
Considered Important.
The art Of spelling words correctly
is OF comparatively recent repute.
Time was when men and women did
not care, but wrote ahead without re-
gard to strict Orthography. Nine. de
Sevigne, for instance, never learned
the proper way to write Der name,
while it was remarked by Nine. de
Maintenon that at the College Of St
Cyr much precious time was wasted
IN learning how to spell.
It remained, however, for the EN-
press Eugene in 1868 at Compiegne to
put to a practical test the spelling
standard which obtained eveh among
the highest literary authorities. Thus
under the pretext of a theme proposed
to them for an examination a number
of French academicians took down
from dictatiOn a composition by Pros
per Mertmee. Not one Immortal"
wrote without mistake.
AS to the empress, she could not un-
derstand SO many faults being made
until it was conveyed to her that she
herself from the same dictation was
responsible for no less than ninety.
The emperor, again. made sixty. It is
but fair to add, however, that the die
tatiOn was compiled expressly with a
view to focusing the difficulties not
only Of spelling, but grammar.-Har-

No Drums In the Middle Aces.

As we come to the middle ages,
when the nations of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced for many CEN
turtles. rhythm had been quite forgot
ten. for what there is left TO US OF
the music Of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monOtonously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts Of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds OF
drums, tambOurines and Cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days Of sayages, and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas

Yarmouth's Marrow strsst.

Kitty Witches row, Great Var
mouth, can justly claim to be the mar
rowest street in the world, the en-
trance at one end being only twenty
nine inches and at the other fifty-six
inches. 1t gives some idea Of the
width when one mentions that neigh
bors can shake hands and put out each
others candles across the street! why
these rows have been SO constructed
has given rise to a good deal of dis
cussion. Some writers give the reason
that when there was a very high tide
the water might flow through them;
others, in the event Of an Invasion
they would prove an excellent means
Of defense or that the ground plans OF
the rows were suggested by the fisher
mems nets, which, spread on the dunes
to dry, had a narrow pathway left be
tween them, which represented the
rows. Yarmouth has 145 rows, and
their total length exceeds seven miles,
Kitty Witches being the most inter
esting and the narrOwest of all.

An EpistoIary Hint.

In the letter from Boston was q
special delivery stamp.
"What did she send that fort" the
woman wondered. 1.-THE information
she wants can be sent In an ordinary
letter. 1t won't need to be sent spe-
ciaI."
That stamp" said the man, sis a
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is a hurry up device used by
many men. It is very effective. A
two cent stamp does not always spur
one on to any special effort, but a spe-
cial delivery stamp means that the
writer wants what he wants when he
wants 1t, and the most dilatory cor
respondent alive Is not going to let any
grass grow between the scratches Of
his pen when answering" New York

A Versatile Partisan,

A quaint Partisan character was
Mile. Montansier, an actress, who,
while Oh the stage one night, heard
Marie AntOinette say, How good that
cabbage soup they are eating smellsw
The actress took a bowl round to the
royal box and that night supped with
Marie Antoinette. an honor to which
the highest mobiles in France dared not
aspire, thence in due course becoming
manager Of the fetes at Versailles.
Later she was a sort Of queen Of the
Palais Royal and sent to the war a
band of actors who performed farces
between two battles. She obtained
100000 francs from the revolutionary
government, almost married Napoleon
or so Barras said-and had her last
love affair when she was eighty-hye.
When she died she bequeathed all her
creditors to the king Of France.

ROYAL MAIDS.
Il Is They Who Must Always Do the
Proposing When They
Wish to Marry.

When a reigning queen is to be mar

subject first to her future eonsort
The same rule holds good with regard
to ali royal ladies who marry com
noners.
The late Queen Victoria has told how
she managed to put the question" to
Prince Albert-how she frs. showed
him Windsor and its beauties and the
distant landscape and then said, IAN
this may be yours" The queen Of Hol-
land on a like occasion simply sent q

Henry to look out its meaning In .

q state ball and gave it out that she
would choose as her partner for the
frst dance the man she intended to
honor. She selected the marquis, who
subsequently became her husband.
But perhaps the most interesting OF
all ways chosen was that OF the Ouch

then was, to q drawer and showed him
its contents. There he saw q number
