Solf Sacrifice.

No man has ever sacrificed himself in the common meaning of that phrase. which Is self sacrifice for another alone. Men make daily sacrifice for others. but it is for their own sake first. They must content their own spirit first. A man must feel better for doing a duty than he would for shirking it.
 Take the case of the Berkeley Gas tie. British troopship crowded with soldiers and their wives and children There was room in the boats for the women and children only. The colonel lined up his regiment on the deck and said, Tt is our duty to die that they may be saved" There was no mar mur, no protest. The boats carried away the women and children. When the death moment was come the colo nel and his officers took their several posts. the men stood at present. and so, as on dress parade. with their flag flying and the drums beating. they went down. sacrifice to duty for duty's sake. They were soldiers with soldiers pride-a soldiers self re- kpect They had to content soldier 5 spirit.-Mark Twain.

Ieqends Of the Red Rose.

As to the origin of the rose there is q legend that Jewish maid of Beth lehem fwhOm Southey names Zillah was beloved by one Ham'ul q brutish sot Elijah rejected his suit. and Ham'ull vowed vengeance. He gave out that Zillah was q demoniac. and she was condemned to be burned. but God averted the flames, the stake bud ded, and the maid stood unharmed un- der q rose tree full of red and white roses, then first seen on earth since paradise was lost"
 From other sources 1t would appear that the rose was first white, and the Turks say 1t was colored with the blood of Mohammed and will never suffer the flower to lie on the ground. while contrary to this, the Greeks hold that it derived its color from the blood of Venus when she trod on a thorn of the white thorn when going to the as sistance of the dying Adonis.

Calomel loses you day. You know what ealomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dyna- mite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for soc large bot tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate.
 Don't take calomel, It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work Dodson.s Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give i to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gTipe.
