A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re.
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and -body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifles the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice OF Alexander Hamfl.
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol. / have q
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. It is the finest tonic
and strength-creator ! have ever
used"
II vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength. we win return your money.

THEIR SUNDAY BEST.
How a Visiting Clergyman Set the
Style for an Alaska Mission.

From Youths Companion.
The wife of missionary long stationed
in Africa confessed the otner day that
she became hysterical with suppressed
laughter at the first service that her
husband held at the station after bring
ing her out. She had, indeed to leave the
chapel lest she should disgrace herself
by an outburst of unseemly mirth.
The cause Of her discontinue was an
important convert, an aged and venera-
BILE chief with snowy wool and counte-
nance of ferocious dignity. The young
wife had thrown away the day before
an outgrown pair OF her tiny daughter s
ankle ties. They were OF gay scarlet mo-
rocco, and when they reappeared at
church buttoned neatly through the dis
tended lobes, Of the old chiefs ears and
dangling conspicuously against his with
cred ebony shoulders the spectacle was
too much for her, especially - combina-
ton with the rest of his costume. which
consisted of dirty blue ioin bloth and a
headdress made of feathers artistically
combined with imported shirt buttons.
Missionary gravity Is often severely
tested by the go-to-meeting best of an
unsophisticated congregation. Even our
own country can supply instances in
point. The tale comes from Alaska of an
Indian settlement the resident pastor OF
which prepared the minds Of his people
for the coming of a distinguished clergy
explaining that not only would his words
be worth hearing, but that his character
was such that he might be considered an
exemplar Of all the Christian graces and
eminently worthy of imita ton.
During his earnest and eloquent ad-
dress the visiting preacher had occasion
to use his handkerchief. Having done SO.
he thrust 1t carelessly into a coattail
pocket. He quite failed to observe that
the greater portion remained hanging
outside and streamed backward as he
gesticulated in a manner that the re-
specially admiring natives deemed Pc
culiarly elegant and effective.
The next Sunday the decorum of their
own pastor was severely strained when
he beheld a flock more suggestive of Lit
tie Bo Peeps than any other proudly adj
yancing down the aisle. Every man,
woman and child had handkerchief,
rag or piece Of white cloth OF any mate
rial from sailcloth to muslin and of any
size from six inches square to yard.
These they had sewed or pinned securely
to the rearward portion of their attire,
to waggle as they moved in manner as
realistically tail-like as possible.
When it was tactfully explained to
them after service that this clerically
imported fashion was the result OF q
misunderstanding and not the latest and
most correct thing OF the east they were
greatly disappointed.

The Bowery Lights.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Bowery finds a wantonly mixed
company of lights awaiting her. They
come with simplicity and with treach-
cry, from the moon-faced benevolence OF
| the clock over Cooper Union to the knife
blade glitter Of the arc lamps under the
elevated tracks at Chatham square. The
Bowery's cronies have ever been a
| strange crew. and so it is with her lights.
Many OF them are far too good for her,
far too bright and steady; many are in
| offensive loafers along the curbs, and
| some are out-and-out accomplices. At
gins. the very street lamps convey the
disquieting suggestion that they are
lying in wait for some one behind the
squat pillars Of the overhead railway.
Close at hand, around the corner of a
| wall, the alien lights of crooked Chi
nese street look aslant upon the highway.
They illuminate festivities more or less
their own, with the Bowery for an indul-
gent and much-valued patroness. A lit
tie farther on the glow OF an honest
warmth spreads from mission house
doorway upon the bony faces of men
who are launching, shutting along in line
for handful Of bread. These are the
ones for whom the Bowery no longer
has employment save In her sullen.
vicious moods; but she feeds them, per-
haps to keep them from annoying her.
Then comes the heated rivalry Of the
shop windows which for brilliance are
veritable fiery furnaces. 1t seems incred-
ible that suits and pants and hats are
not consumed In the blaze which exploits
them. But one night long time ago the
proprietor Of an emporium of fashion
made two lights burn where only one
burned before, and the challenge was too
pointed to be ignored by his competi-
tors. And that is what brought the lights
trooping In upon the Bowery. Year by
year they become brighter and more
numerous; better buildings, better men,
follow them, and the crafty old street
who sees 1t all elevates her badly paint
ed eyebrows and reduces the price Of
whisky to cents a glass.

Swank.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
There are some widely varying mean
ings attached to the word 'swank," for
using which a plaintiff I'm the high court
declares he was dismissed by his en-
ployers. In the north of Ireland a skinny.
hungry-looking person is described as u
swank. whereas i'm Yorkshire the word is
applied to a man who eats heartily, AMI
in Essex to any one who drinks to excess.
In Yorkshire too, ''swanker' is used in
a flattering sense to describe strappins
youth, or anything large of its kind.
such as house, a tree, or an apple.
Weak, inferior beer is called swank in
many parts of England, and In Sussex
II is a pet name for a child-the equiva-
lent of the cockney "nipper." SwankinE.
in the sense of putting on side" was
commonly used in the west OF England
long before il was adopted by Londoners.

that IF an alien is to be permitted @

The Myths case is somewhat different,
though it is declared that If the ruling
OF Judge Noyes yesterday is to stand

will have to be changed. Under the pres
ent laws a person who has been convicted
of a crime involving moral turpitude, in
a foreign country, Is debarred from enter

victed Of criminal libel in England. in
which country the offense is considered
under the law as one involving moral

The Department Of Commerce and La
Dor takes the position that the New York
judges, in their decisions, have attacked
the integrity of the department and the
immigration service. and have rendered
decisions contravening the existing laws.

Too Much Longevity.

Extreme longevity has it's drawbacks in

the Danube. He was rescued, and ex-
planned that he wished to end his life, as
he was becoming too decrepit to support
