THE GREAT LIFE LINE

That Has Resezed Thov-. sands of Wreckee Mortals.

SHE WAS WRONG. The Original Peem Wasn't by Cowper at All, but by Some One Else.

There is a wvoman’s literary ciub cn the South Side which is having the hardest imaginable time to keep togeth- er. Unlike most similar organizations, it is not from want of money that this association of fair students is constant- ly tbreatened with disbandment. A spirit of discontent and rivalry stalks through the meetings.

The original purpose of the club was a thorough criticism of the works of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton,

It is Kaowa as Paine’s Celery Com- pound The Disease Banisher and Life-giver.

Tens of thousands of people in every walk of life havd reason to thank Profess- or Phelps, M.D, of Dartmouth College, for the life line he has thrown out on the surging and billowy ss of disease and suffering. The gloriovs, never-failing life line has blessed humanity to an ex- tent that can never be equalled by any other agent on earth. :

Lifesaving is a glorious wndertaking, the 1n0st blessed and most noble work that human skill can enzage in.

Professor Phelps, when he devised his wonderful and now fa ous Paine’s Ce- lery Compound, gave mankind an agency of life that men and women had for long years been praying for. The doctors study of the nervous system and such disease as nervous prostration, pralyeis, neuralgia, rheumatism and kidney and liver troubles, dyspepsia and debility, led him to the marvellous discovery of tha age, Paine’s Celery Compound.

This wonderful medicine bas been call- ed by many the “Eleventh Hour Medicine” and justly so, because it saves life, *builas up the system, and establishes health after the ordinary physician faila to eure.

This médicine will certainly meet vour case, reader, if you are stili struggling with direase ani pain. The @xperience of thousands in ilis wide Dominion has proven that Paine’s Celery Compound “pakes people well.”

Mr.G.J.Smye, of Sheffield, Ont., a cured man, writes as follows:

“[t is with great pleasure that I testify to:he value of your great medicine, Paine’s Celery Compound. For nearly two years Isuffered from indigestion, kidney and liver troubles. After trying several medi- tines that did not effect a cure, I decided to try your Compound. Before using it I was so low in health that I could not tator sleep. I could not lie in bed wing to a pain in mv back; it was enly by Testinz on elbows and knees I was enabled % obtaifi aslight degree of ease. Before Thad fully taken one bottle of your Medicine I began to improye, 1 have Dow taken in all fourteen bottles with gtand reonlts,] am a farmer aodam now Working every day. Anyone'’may refer to me in regurd to these statements, or to any of my neizlibors around Sheffield, where | &m well known. Iam a living witaess o the worth of Paine’s Celery Compound.”

Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But, although this laudable inteution was adhered to for several months, after awhile some of them got to writing es- says and other papers to be read before the society. The book trade may not have noticed it, but at that time there was a considerable run on concordances, glossaries, books of synonyms and liter- ary dictionaries. Ever since then things have gone from bad to worse. It seems impossible to maintain harmony.

The vice president of the organiza- tion, acharming young lady, whether considered mentally or from her photo- graph, recently wrote a rather extend- ed poem in a very lofty strain. She read it tothe club. Amid the general ap- plause which followed there carae from

, several remote corners of the room

something like murmurs. A couple of her auditors were heard to -.y that she had never written anything lixe that before; that they didn’t believe any one in the club was capable of it; that, in fact, several passages sounded strangely familiar.

Finally one member with glasses and & very penetrating expression, address- ing the author of the poem, said:

“Didn’t you get some of that from Cowper? I’m sure you did.”’

“*I did nothing of the kind,’’ retorted the vice president, flushing at the ac- cusation.

*‘Oh, but I remember almost the ex- act lines!’’ persisted her accuser.

*‘How dare you say s0!’’ returned the poet hotly.

**But we'll get the book and look,’’ persisted the other.

‘*You’re a mean, mean thing, said the vice president, bursting into tears. “I didn’t get this from Cowper at all. And pow that you’re so smart J’ll not tell you where I did get it.’’—Chicago Tribune.

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER. Withont It There Wouid Fe No Light, Radiant Heat or Magnetism.

“Whatever cifliculties we may have in forming a consistent idea of the con- stitution of the etber, there cau be no doubt that the interplanetary and inter- stellar spaces are vot emyty, but are oc- cupied by a material substance or body which is certainly the largest and prob- ably the most uniform body of which we have any knowledge.’’

Such was the verdict pronounced some 20 yegrs ago by James Clerk Maxwell, one of the very greatest of nineteenth century physicists, regard- ing the existence of an all pervading plenum in the universe in which eve’ y particle of tangible mutter is immersed. And this verdict may be said to express the attitude of the entire philosophical world of our day. Without exception the authoritative physicists of our time accept this plenum as a verity and rea- son about it with something of the same confidence they manifest in speaking of “‘ponderable’’ matter or of energy. It is true there are those among them who are disposed to deny that this all per- vading plenum merits the name of mat- ter, but that it is a something, anda vastly important something at that, all are agreed. Without it, they allege, we ehould know nothing of light, of radiant heat, of electricity or magnetism. With- out it there would probably be no such thing as gravitation—nay, they even hint that without this strange some- thing, ether, there would be no such thing as matter in the universe. If these contentions of the modern physicist are justified, then this intangible ether is incomparably the most important as well as the ‘‘largest and most uniform substance or body’’ in the universe. Its discovery may well be looked upon as the most important feat of our century. —Heary Smith Williams, M. D, in Harper’s Magazine.

A Good Story of Sheridan, Sheridax once had occasion to call at a hairdresser’s to order a wig. On be- ing measured, the barber, who was a liberal soul, invited the orator to take some refreshment in an inner room. Here he regaled him with a bottle of

that Sheridan’s heart was touched.

When they rose from the table and were about separating, the latter, look- ing the barber full in the face, said, “On reflecting, I don’t intend that you shallmake my wig.”” |

Astonished and with a blank visage, the other exclaimed: ‘‘Good heavens, Mr. Sheridan! How can I have dis- pleased you?’’

‘*‘Why, look you,’’ said - Sheridan, *‘you are an honest fellow, and, I re- peat it, you shan’t make my wig, for I never intended to pay for it. I’ll go to another less worthy son of the craft.’’ —Liverpool Mercury.

GEM SCULPTURE, -

Something About the Making of Cameos and Intaglios,

Gem sculpture, or lithoglyptics, is anart of great antiquity, having been practiced by the Babylonians, the Egyp- tians, the Hebrews and the Greeks. Afterward it sank into decadence, but in the fifteenth century was revived in Italy. It is an art that calls for great elegance cf taste and much skill, for on a small stone, generally precious, de- Sigs are represented either in raised work, as cameos, or by being cut below the surface, us intaglios

gure” is indeed applicable, for since the days of Greek art celebrated statues have been copied in this way. The first intaglios were the scarabs, or beetle shaped signets, worn in rings by the Egyptians from a very remote period, One side of the stone was shaped like a beetle, the other side was flat, and the nané of the king or wearer was cut in- to it. A hole was then drilled in the stone from end to end, and through it a strong wire was passed to hold it in position in a ring. The flat or seal side was always worn next to the finger, but when used as a seal it was turned.

In the art of gem stulpture the Greeks excelled all predecessors. The Etruscans, ccntemporary with the Greeks, also attained excellence in gem cutting, and itis said that ‘‘on these early gems of Etruscan or Greek origin may be read as in a book the forms of their religion and the subjects of popu- lar interest in politics, song and fable for centuries, ’’

Under Augustus gem sculpture flour- ished among the Romans, many of them possessing cameos and intaglios of great value, and cabinets of costly gems be- came numerous. It is said that Cwsar sent six cabinets of rare gems to the temple of Venus.

There are many fine cameos and in- taglios in the British museum, Among the finest of them accessible to the pub- lic are the ‘Cupid and Goose”’ intaglio, the ‘‘Dying Amazon,”’ the ‘‘Laughing Fawn,’’ ‘‘Bacchus’’ on red jasper, and the “Julius Cxsar’’ of Dioscurides. In modern times gem sculpture has reached a high state of perfection and beauty. — Philadelphia Timea

STUBBS WAS TOUCHED.

And He Gave Up His Fare to the Man Who Touched Him,

Stubbs is really not very absent- minded, but when he is riding on a street car he makes it a point not to look at thecc nductor. It often saves car fare, for there is something about Stubbs that makes him. lucky enough to be overlooked two cases in ten when he boards a loaded car.

One morning he was absorbed in his

arm he mechanically passed out his nickel and went on with his reading. Later the conductor stood beside him and murmured, ‘‘Fare, please,’’ but received no aitention. Stubbs had paid his fare. Théathe abominable nuisance of a conductor seized him by the shoul- der end held cut his hand, saying stern- ly, ‘‘Fare, pl ase.’

“I paid you before,’’ said Stubbs as affably as he could.

“No, you cid not. Come, pass out car fare.”’

‘Man, I paid my fare when you were around beforo.’’ And Stubbs thought for an adjective he might use when there were ladies about. ‘‘ You—you—infer- nal—idiot, ycu are drunk or asleep, for when you tonched me on the arm I passed out a nickel, and you must have taken it, for it was the only one I had,’’ fumbling in his change pocket.

With a red face the conductor rang the bell to stop the car, rearing, ‘‘You will have to pay your fare or get off the car,’’ ina tcne that startled every cne. “I did not get your nickel, and you know it.’’

At that minute the man who had nudged Stubbs i6 move over in the seat he bad ocoupied with him dropped off the car and walked the other block to his office.

The next time Stubbs rode in a crowded car he gently touched the arm of an acquaintance and got even for the 5 cents he bad lostand for the chagrin ' he kad suffered.—Chicago News.

Milton's Wives and Daughters.

Of Milton's three wives and his rela- tions with them enough bas been writ- ten. It was a bard thing to be Milton’s Wife or Milton’s danghter. He was stern, he was austere, he was self cen- tered; his impeccable strength was pur- chased by a syblime and monotonous egoism, which is the name they give to selfishness in poets. Very chill must have been the life of his girls in that Puritan house, reading to the inwrapped Puritan father from languages they did not understand and taking down from his lips poetry they understood still less, Milton found them undutifol. Poor lit- tle ‘‘undutiful’’ daughters! Pathers had terrible conceptions of duty in those days. Did any one ever want to know Milton? Did any one ever not want to know Shakespeare? Doubtless there are readers of the Exeter Hall class who would have yearned for the godly com- pany of the ‘‘great Christian poet.’’ But, on the whole, how thankful one should be that Shakespeare was not a “Christian poet!’’—Academ;s.

The romance of unwritten facts of real life far exceeds the rich elaborations of fiction. A peep behind the scenes would furnish us with adequate proof that tvere i8 more of care, trial and severe anxiety in human life than floats on the surfac . We find many whose experience has ulmost incessantly fluctuated between healtii and sickness; little if any of this is obtruded | upon the notice of the world, or breathed into human ear. You may secure the confidence of some of these sufferers who will rehearse to you dark catalogu- of pains and arches that are often illu ider= stood by the friends and inadeqvately, trealed Sy the physician. Thanks be i the mighty genius that discovered the now famous panacea for the ills to which

; humanity is subjected when suffering from

impoverished blood or a shattered nerve system. Thousands have, and thousands are still using to the greatest advaniage Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They have the ordeal of experimenting again and again with ever increasing hoor. i'he following statement ‘s from one who was rescued from seeming permanent entferble- ment and distregsing heart action. Mary Fisher, af Lancaster towoship, Ge gacry county, is a maiden lady, Abouteig... )«ars ago Miss Fisher wae seized with weakness and a distressing sensation in the region of the heart. It was attributed to several causes; all possibly mere or less true, they were overwork, ex»osure etc. She was certainly weak and the action of the heart was abnormally r..p'd. The doctor iv attendance pronounced the ailment nervous palpitation of the peart and she received treatment accordivy y for two years. At this stage she took «» her bed she was so low, For twelve months she lay receiving only domestig aties'ion, Ske impr'v d somewhat, howey.r, aud was able to be taken toa friend cf hers near Lancaster village, Mrs. J.

venture to walk out even a short di-tance. All this time she complained of her heart. About two years ago she begar ukng Dr. Williams’ Pink Piile, from thie date she began what proved a Steady restor- ation of nervous energy. During the

summer of 1896 the improvement was marked. She was able by the middle of the summer to ddas much work and walking 88 most ordinary women, and so satisfactory and apparently permanent is the cure that Miss Fisher has gone to her former home. Such are the unvarnished facts of a remarkable case. The malady was persistent, tenacious and hard to fight, But the constant use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills wrought a marvellous change which Miss Fisher’s friend said might be profitably known to many others.
