A MADE OVER STATUE.
Designed to Pose as King, It NO\
 RenreSen%s Saint

Designed to Pose as King, It Now
 Represents a Saint.
 The most made over statue in the world is in a quaint little church at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. It was orig inally designed for that of Louis XIV. of France and was the work of RO- man sculptor who started for France with the statue, but was captured on the way by an English Warship. France and England were then at war. and the box containing the statue was taken on board the English vessel with other spells.
 When Sir Richard Holmes, the Eng fish commander, examined it and found the head was unfinished he ordered the sculptor to complete it in his own likeness. and so the heroic figure that was intended to represent a French monarch was turned into an officer Of the English navy.
 When Sir Richard was made gOver nor of the Isle of Wight in 1867 he 2presented the statue of himself to the Yarmouth church. Half a century after his death a statue of St. John was desired for a certain niche in the church, and an English sculptor was called in to chisel out the face and naval hat of Sir Richard and make them over into the benign features and flowing locks of the saint.
 The incongruity of court clothes and a jeweed chain on the figure of one of the apostles did not seem to strike the worshipers as anything unusual, and St. John still occupies his place by the altar httired in the finery of q French king New York Press.

The TrinIa PlunnA


 The three feathers of the Prince of Wales, with the German motto, "Ich Dien" CT serve'), are supposed to be the arms of the blind king of Bohe- mia, whom Edward Ills son, the Black Prince, overcame at Greasy. The captor, it will be remembered, waited in his own tent upon his cap tive; hence a special significance to the words q serve." In this. how ever, we have story that history re- fuses to accept. The triple plume. in- deed, as we'll as feathers of various numbers. came into general use about the time of Edward III. But it was not unknown before that time. and even at that time 1t was not the dis tinctive cognizance of the Prince of Wales. Other members of the royal family bore it as we'll as he. Not till the reign of Henry VII. was the triple plume within a coronet restricted to the eldest son of the sovereign.-St Louis Republic.

No Parallels In Nature.

The wise men say there are no paral- lels in nature, that no one thing in the wide universe exactly mates and matches any other one thing, that each cloud has differed from every other cloud form in any hour of the day and night or day or yesterday, and so on back through the forgotten centuries, and no two leaves in form, color or texture lift the same faces to the sun on any day of the millions of years; that no wave on any beach curves and falls as any wave has curved and fal- len before, not since this planet cooled. And so 1t is with the whirls and the crystals of driving snow, with the sand and splash of rain and so, too, with the flight of birds, the dash and tumble of the restless brook and the roar of law less thunder and the cry of birds.-F. HOpkinSon Smith.

It takes a mighty good stomah tC feel ready for a good breakfast in the morning after the banquet or social session.
 "What do you want for breakfast? p inquired Browns good wife.
 "Just a pleasant smile and breath of fresh air." answered Brown the morning after an important meeting at the lodge.
 If you eat, smoke or drink toe much, always remember that two little MONA stomach tablets taken just before you go to bed will destroy all poisonous gases and leave you with a sweet, clean stomach in the morn- ing.
 For Indigestion and all stomach diseases, MONA is the best pre- scription in the world. Anders Jacob sen sells it on money back plan. Large box only 50 cents.
