THE ABLEST MEDICAL ME" MEND IT,

Makes People Weli When Other Pre- scriptions Fail,

RECO ii-

Three men havedone a mighty work for the profession of medicine, and they will ever be remembered as true bene- factors of the human race.

Right Honorable Lord Lister, dent of the Royal Society, Protessor E. Phelps, M. D., of Dartmouth College and Professor Charles Richet, of the University sf Paris, are men that have lived to benefit mankind.

Professor Edward E. Phelps, who gave the world his famous Paine’s Celery Compound, has gone to his well earned reward, but his great medicine still saves men and women every day. Thousands live to-day who owe life, bealth and vigor to Paine’s Celery Com pound, the mighty disease banisher. The weak, nervous, sleepless, rheu- matic, neuralgic, dyspeptic and con- stipated are soon made hale-and vigor- ous, and the deadly dangers of liver and kidney troubles are quickly dissipated.

There is now no necessity for contiou- ing in agony and danger when sucha rescuing agent as Paiue’s Celery Com- pound is held outto sufferers. Paine’s Celery Compound assuredly cures; its thousands of magnificent testimonials in the past are sufficient proof. Have you tried it?

A Tale of the Sea,

Two American captains were recently relating their experiences on ditferent voyages. One of them fold the follow- ing story: ‘‘About 1 p. m. on March 2 my ship was proceeding under full sail when a cloud about the size of a man’s hand was observed on the horizon. It came on, and as it neared the ship we discovered that it was composed of lo- custs. They settled on the sails, and you couldn’t see a bit of canvas for them. When they flew away, there was not a stitch of canvas left on the yards.”’ **Ah,’’ said the other captain, ‘‘I1 can quite believe that, for at about 38:30 p- m. on March 2 my vessel was pro- ceeding under full sail when we ob- served a small cloud on the horizon. As it approached the ship we discovered that it war acloud of locusts, and as they passed our vessel we saw -that every man Jack of them hada pair of No. 1 canvas trousers on. ’’—~Brazil Nut.

Gautier, the Amateur Artist.

Like Thackeray, Vieior Hugo and sen other famous writers. Theophile Gantie began life with the determination to be- come an artist. It wus as an art studeni that he wore his famous red Waistcoat aid aitended the theaters in order to applaud Victor Hugo. Later in life the main use that he made of his acquirements was in drawing fancy heads of his heroines, and he possessed the ability to portray varied types of character no less with the crayon than with the pen. Engravings from sev- eral of his sketches were used as fromtis pieces or vignettes on the title pages of his books.

It is as a painter in words that Gautier will longest be remcmbered. In fact, he may be said to have created that kind of literary art. But it is probable that he would never have been able to produce the delightful word paintings in his ‘“*“Kmaux et Canices,’’ his ‘‘Fortunatus”’ and other stories and his books of travel if he had not practiced with crayon and brush and learned the language of the stu- dios.—Art Aimateur.
