lines of a hyum at a time for the choir
Ito Hiug. Oue dark, rainy day he could
t Bee the words and said: "Mine eyes

Thompson aud Rogers, wandering
borne late one night, stopped at what
Thompson supposed was his residence,
but which his companion Insisted was
his own house. Thompson rang the
bell lustily, when a window was open
ed, and a lady impured what was
wanted. "Madam," inquired Mr.
Thompson, "isn't this Mr. T-Thomp-hou's
house'.'" "No." replied the lady:
"this is the residence of Mr. Rogers."
"Well." exclaimed Thompson. "Mrs.

R. L. Stevenson on Shakespeare.
I have always suspected public taste
to tie n mongrel product out of affec
tation by dogmatism, and felt sure, if
you could only find an honest man of
no special literary bent, he would tell
you he thought much of Shakespeare
bombastic and most absurd, and all of
him written in very obscure English
and wearisome to read.
The Jigger Under the Tongue.
A Pennsylvania doctor had an Irish
woman for a patient. He had pulled
her through a lingering attack of ty
phoid fever and of course took her
temperature from time to time by hav
ing her hold a thermometer under her
tongue.
When she had nearly recovered, he
called one day, left a simple prescrip
tion and started homeward. About
three miles from her house he was
overtaken by her son on horseback.
"Mother Is worse," said the boy.
"Come right back."
Back the doctor went.
"Docthor." said the old lady re
proachfully as he entered the sick
room, "why did ye not give me the
jigger nnther me tongue? That did
me more good than all the rest of yer
thrash:"
Malibran and Pierre.
'"Who did you say is waiting for
me?" asked Malibran of her servant.
"I cm already worn out with compa
ny." "lie is only a very pretty little
boy with yellow curls, who said if lie
can just see you he Is sure yon will not
be sorry, ai;.l lie will not keep you a
moment." "Oh, well, let hlra come,"
smiled the great singer. "I can never
refuse children."
"I came to see you because uiy moth
er Is very sick." began Pierre, "and we
are too poor to get food and medicine.
I thought, perhaps, that If yo:t would
sing my little song at some of your
grand concerts maybe some publisher
would bry it for a small sum. and so
I could g?t food n:id medicine for toy
mother." "Did yon compose It?" asked
Malibran. afrvr humming the air. "you,
a eblld!" Ixi'.ili.g at the liv attentively.
"And the wor.'.s too? Would you like
to cotno to my concert?" "(i!. yes, but
I couldn't leave iny niotlier." . "I will
r
send somebody to take care of your
mother for the evening, and here is a
crown with which you may go and get
food and medicine. Here is also oue of
my tickets. Come tonight. That will
admit you tj a seat near me."
Pierre bought some oranges and oth
er delicacies for his mother and went
to the concert hall that night. The
baud struck up n plaintive little melo
dy and Mine. Malibran poured forth
the touchiug words. Pierre clasped his
hands for joy, but many a bright eye
In that vast audience grew dim with
tears. The next day the door of his
bumble home opened, and Mine. Mali
bran laid her hand on bis yellow curls
as she said to bis mother: "Your little
boy. madame, bits brought yofc a for
tune. I was offered this morning by
the best publisher in London 1100 for
his little song, and after he has real
ized a certain amount from the sale
little Pierre here is to share the profits.
Madame, thank God that your eon has
a gift from heaven."
The boy fell upon his knees and ask
ed God to bless the kind heart that
had felt for the poor, and when, a few
years later. Malibran sank to an early
death, it was Pierre, the rich compo
ser, who smoothed her pillow aud
cheered her last hours. '

Working Up Her Feelings.
A famous I't'glisli trairio actress on
her first appearance in New York was
observed between the third and fourth
acts in it retired part behind the wlugs
sobbing and moaning and beating her
bosom in a most unusual manner.
one of the actors very kindly asked
her the cause of the grief so painfully
expressed. She replied not in words,
l ut motioned him to be gone, and then
sighed and moaned more than before.
The good narured actor, alarmed at a
pre ft y woman's grief, entreated her to
let ire to her dressing room and let the
other ladies assist to console her, on
which she suddenly suspended her
tones of grief and exclaimed:
"Co along: leave me. I am working
up my feelings for the last scene."

where she had gone for ber health.
Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, or

They came back as follows: "Give

she was soliciting subscriptions for a
church in which she was much inter

Lord Karnes, returning from the
north circuit to Perth, oue night slept
:.t Dunkcld. Next morning, walking
toward the ferry, but fearing he had
1'iissed his way, he asked a man whom
l.e met to guide him. The man an

nil my heart, my lord. Doesna' your
lordship mind me? My name's John
Grant. I had the honor b be before
your lordship for stealing sheep." "Oh,
John, I remember you well! And how
is your wife? She had the honor to
lie before me, too, for receiving the
sheep, knowing them to be stolen."
"At your lordship's service. We were
very lucky; we got off for want of evi
dence, and I am still going on in the
butcher trade." "Then," said Lord
Karnes, "we may have the honor of
meeting again!"

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to le considered that only
nrinarv and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly till diseases
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
orjjnns.
The kidneys filter
and purif y the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidueysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If vou are sick or " feel b:ully," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
( If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidnev remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle n.mof 8wmrRoot.
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer 5; Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
My Hair
Ran Away
Don't have a falling out with
your hair. It might leave you !
Then what? That would mean
thin, scraggly, uneven, rough
hair. Keep your hair at home !
Fasten it tightly to your scalp !
You can easily do it with Ayer's
Hair Vigor. It is something
more than a simple hair dress
ing. It is a hair medicine, a
hair tonic, a hair food.
