Never attempt to relieve your baby with a remedy that you would use for yourself What is CASTOR I A Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has been fn constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency, Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Keverishness arising therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids the assimilation of Food ; giving healthy and natural bleep.

TESTINQ HOME GAS BURNERS Simple home tests have been out lined by Popular Mechanics Maga zine for the householder who wishes to determine if his gaa burners are properly adjusted. If they light easily and turn off quietly; if they burn in sharp blue cones with purplt edges; if they can be turned dowu and still bum evenly and if cooking utensils keep clean where the heat from the burner tips strikes them, then the burners an- all right. If the burners do not come up to thesa te.-ts, it is well to have experts from the ga.s company make proper ad justments, as tins plau will insure the best results. TO USE CORN AS FUEL Using corn as fuel had a tempor ary vogue some years ago as a scheme to tide the farmer over a dull market.

WEATHER PHILOSOPHER. I5Y FKANK L. STANTON. No that the Mowers are wilted and they miss the fresh'nin' dew: Still there's wisdom in all weathers, an' jes' any kind'll do! Though the winter blights the blossoms, in a dream a fellow sees The lilies leanin' over with the weight of honey bees! We sorter miss the mockin' birds that made the woodlands ring; But ain't the wind a-wlnsilin'? don't the winter Hres sing? Don't die mistletoe look temptin' when it's Love a feller seeks? Ain't the hollybeiries redder than your sweetheart's rosy cheeks? Oh, there's hie an' love ainazin' in this world fer one an' all: Warm your souls up in the sunshine hear the Springtime voices call! From the gray frost sprinkled meadows feel your way to skies o' blue! There's wisdom in all weathers, an' jes' any kind'll dol BY RliV. ABRAM J. RYAN. My leet are wearied, and my hands are tired, My soul oppressed And I desire, what 1 have long desired Rest only rest 'Tis hard to toil when toil is almost vain, In barren ways; 'l is hard to sow and never gainer grain, In harvest days. The burden of my days is hard to bear, But God knows best; And I have prayed but vain has been my prayer For rest sweet rest. 'Tis hard to plant in Spring and never reap The Autumn yield; 'Tis hard to till, and 'tis tilled to weep O'er fruitless Held. And so I cry a weak and human cry, So heart oppressed; And so I sigh a weak and human sigh, For rest sweet rest. My way has wound across the desert years. And cares infest My path, and through the tlowing of hot tears, 1 pine for rest. 'Tis always so; when but a child 1 laid On mother's breast My wearied little head e'en then I prayed As now for rest. And I am restless still; 'twill soon be o'er; For down the West Life's sun is setting, and I see the shore Where I shall rest. "SWING LOWSWEET CHARIOT'' Bob Taylor, in his published lectures, makes this beautiful and touching allusion to a former slave of I U family: "Not long ago 1 buried one of the last of our family duivies. He had been a preacher for fifty yeais. When I was a child he often led me, together with my brother, to his meetings. He had never learned the art of reading. But many a time have I seen him rise in ihe pulpit and say : ' My congergashun, you'll find my text soinewhar 'twixt de lids of de Bible, whar it reads, "You must be born agan and agan.' And then he would wain) up with his theme until he plunged out far beyond the ratiocina tion of man. During the last twenty years of his life he made sight drafts upon my ticuury and niy wardrobe, just as thousands of old lime darkies still make upon their former masters in the South, and they are always honored. When I was a candidate, Uncle Rufus was a Democrat. When my brother was a candidate, he was a Rerjublicun. When we were candidates against each other, he was neutral. The old man came one evening and sat with me in the twi light under the trees, and our minds wandered back together to the happy days of the past, when he was a slave and I was a barefooted boy. He reviewed many a ghost story he used to tell us in the firelight around the hearthstone of his cabin in the happy long ago. And there was many a joke and jest and merry peal of laughter. But as the shadows thickened around us the old darkey grew serious. He spoke tenderly of my father and mother, and his old wife, and all the old folks who had eone before. With tearful eyes he left me. But he paused as he departed, and leaned upon his staff and said : -' " 'You may not see me again. 1 has had two visions of the chariot ob dc Lord descending from heaven to bear me away. The next lime it comes, your Uncle Rufus is a-gwyne home.' And as he hobbled away in the darkness, 1 thought I heard a song : "Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.' "1 never saw him again. Before a week had passed, the chariot had swung low, the faithful old servant stepped in, and was caught up into heaven. "As I looked unon him for the last lime, with the dews of life's even ing condensing on his brow and the shadows of death falling around him. his sinmle words of faith in God were more beautiful lo me than ihe most impassioned eloquence ihat ever fell From the lips of the bril liaai Ingerseil." ODD WAY TO MAIL MONEV A $5 bill us received at the Bath (Maine) post office, which was mailed in Boston as ordinary mail with no covering whatever. The ad dress, that of a youthful member of Bath's foreijfn colony, was written on one side of a piece of paper at tached to the bill by means of a post age itamp and a message was on the reverse side. The bill, however, did not make the entire journey exposed to the gaze of the postal clerks. Some one in the lio.-ton office slipped it into an official envelope, addressed to rostinusier Owen in Hath, ic ipicsiing him to advise the recipient as well as the sender of the nionev as to the proper methods for send ing cash by mail. WOODPECKERS SPOILED POLE A 1511-foot flagstaff, made from a fir tree on the playground of the lfavciina grade school, Seattle, Wash., has had to he removed bemuse wood peckers riddled it with holes. It a.- ok-ened that while national col ors were (lying from the lofty pole the birds did not bother the trunk, but as soon us the janitor removed the colors woodieckers came from nearby woods and worked at it. About 100 feet up the wood was peeked out so much as to be discern ible from the ground. When lowered the pole broke at this point first. It was believed dangerous to pupil on the playground. FOUND OLD INDIAN CAVI An Indian cave hidden away niBny years from the white man's eyes was recently discovered ou the estate of Valentine Heinemau at Boothbay Harbor, Me. The cave extends 40 feet under the hillsile and can only be reached by a sudden drop of 15 feet over the ledges. The walls are covered with Indian characters, cen turies old, it is said. A tangle of grape-vines concealed the entrance.
