Someone says that liquor strength*

So few people are sensible about
being in love because they don't have
to be; all they have to be is just to
^ be in love.
There is this -difference between
wisdom and happiness. He who
thinks himseif the wisest is generally
the greatest fool.
Work is part of every normal life;
we are here "to serve our day and
generation," as the old phase puts it.
* So labor should bs to use a pleasure,
just as much as eating or sleeping.
Hilton's Life for the
Liver a*td Kidneys tones
up the stomach.
It is the mark of the weak spirit to
despise the common task. There is
co surer way up the ladder than by
. using the common task as something
by which to climb to the uncommon
one.

| "One cannot master the piano
without hard work," said the young
woman. "Still, it shouldn't be ail
work and no play," remarked the
man with sensitive nerves who lives

Mrs. Mulligan?"And so you have
no mother now?" Motherless Boy
?"No, mum." Mrs. M.?"Well, me
; boy, whenever you feel the want of a
good thrashing, come to me and I'll
be a mother to you."
Hilton's Life for the
Liver and Kidneys
overcomes constipation.
A faint suspicion enteriug the mind
and brooded upon will often develop
into jealousy, aDger and hatred;
while, on the other hand, pure and
noble thoughts cherished will make
the character purer and nobler.
Maxim's cavalry gun, which fires
700 shots a minute, weighs but 30
pounds and can be carried strapped
to a soldier's back. The gun he
made for the Sulton of Turkey fires
770 a minute; but it is a field piece
on wheels.
If we cease to be kind even for a
few days it shows in the tone of the
f color of our life as others know us.
}
If for OBly a few days we fail in
showing kindness, our hand will lose
I something of its skill in life's sweet
[ ministry.
"A neighbor ran in with a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
i Diarrhoea Remedy when my son was
suffering with severe cramps and was
given up as beyond hope by my
regular physician, who stands high
| in his profession. After administering
three doses of it, my son regained
consciousness and recovered entirely
within twenty-four hours,"
says Mrs. Mary Hailer, of Mt. Craw
ford, V a. lnis remedy is ior sale oy

God often shuts the door in our
face in order that we may go through
another one which he has opened.
. He knows that the closed door is the
one that we want to go through, but
the open one is the door that we need
to go through.
It is a mistake to receive welcome,
hospitality, words of cheer and help
1 over hard places in life, in return for
cold selfishness, which cares for
nothing but self. It is painful not
to meet with the kindness and affection
that you think i3 yours by right.
Thousands are laid aside on beds

this is their heaviest burden. The

faculties of service should in itself
be to us a source of joy.

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
i by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and ihe extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp=Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits ?"-rK^_

A Simple Changs.
The little daughter of the house
watched the minister who was making
a visit very closely, and finally
sat down beside him and began to
draw on her slate.
' What are you doing?'' asked the
clergyman.
' I'm making your picture," said
' the child.
The minister sat very still and the
child worked away earnestly. Then
6he stopped and compared her work
with the original, and shook her head.
"I don't like it mucb," she said,
"lain't a great deal like you. I
guess I'll put a tail to it and call it
dog."

One day a drill sergeant in the
army had a number of recruits to
drill, and wanted the married men
separated from the single ones, so be
formed them in a line aDd gave the
word of command:
"Single men, advance; and married
i meD, fall back in the rear."
"All took their positions except
one, an Irishman, who stood still.
The sergeant asked the reason why
he had not m' ved, but no answer
came from Pat
"Come, my mar, are you married ?"
"No," replied Pat.
"Then, you are single."
"No."
"Then what are you?"
"T arn onnritinc Sallv and we h&v'fc

The sergeant collapsed*.
I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to Dr.
Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I procured
sorrso of the above medicine, and before
using a bottle of it I could walk
! without my crutches, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully recommend
it, and believe it will do
all its propietors claim for it.

Life is so made up in the midst of
small things that it takes a stroDg

the broader and clearer our outlook,
the more great thoughts we keep
with us for company, the easier it is
to do the small duties with cheeful
ness and a happy heart.

Four years ago I was helpless
with a misery in my back. I could
not turn myself in bed. I was treat1

no good. I took one bottle of Dr.

HEAT AND DISEASE. !
:
THE SUN'S RAYS ARE FATAL TO MANY
SPECIES OF GERMS.
An a Disinfectant Sunlight Is' tlie
Greatest Airer.t la Nature?Temperature*
at Which Disease Germs i
Are Destroyed.
Sunlight is fatal to some of the lower |
forms of living things, including cor- j
tain disease germs which arc the cause |
of some of the most fatal infectious 1
diseases that alllict the human race.
In fact, the greatest disinfectant in nature
is liiilit. or. to he more exact, the
ladiatior.s of the sun. including heat
rays, light rays and the invisible rays '
at the molt i end of the solar spectrum. I
An infectious disease is one which
may be contracted by the introduction
into the living body of living disease
gcrtns. which may be contained in different
kinds of infectious material.
Thus the disease germ (bacillus) which
produces diphtheria is contained in the
"exudate" or "false membrane" deposited
in the throat or nasal passages
of those suffering from this disease,
and the material coughed up by a patient
with diphtheria is infectious material.
In cholera and in typhoid fever
the discharges from the bowels contain
the germ and are consequently infectious
material.
Now, the object of disinfection is to
prevent the extension of infectious diseases
by destroying the specific infectious
agents?germs?which give rise to
. 1. ?.?/! O lit,- tliu
lillUll , illlU llliS iO IJ J luv
use of disinfectants. Having, as i uope,
made this clear.
An}' chemical agent which destroys or
masks bad odors is commonly spoken of !
as a disinfectant, and there are a large
number of so called "disinfectants" in
the market which are simply deodorants
and which are entirely untrustworthy
for the destruction of infectious
material?that is, material containing
living disease germs.
These disease germs belong to the
class of low vegetable organisms?microscopic
plants?known as bacteria,
which as a rule thrive better in the
darkness than when exposed to daylight.
and some of them are quickly
destroyed by exposure to direct sunlight.
In experiments made by me in
1S98 it was demonstrated that the eholli'imlllio
?C inffllHlUv l.-illpil hv OX
posure to direct sunlight for :in hour or
two. and the distinguished German
bacteriologist. Dr. Iiobert Koch, has
shown that the bacillus of consumption
?tubercle bacillus?is destroyed by
similar exposure in a time varying
from a few minutes to several hours,
depending upon the thickness of the
layer of material in which it is imbedded.
As a result of this it is evident that {
the material coughed up by patients j
Vv-ith consumption and containing tu- j
berele bacilli in vast numbers is far less j
dangerous to the community in regions
where the patient can live out of doors
and where the sun shines nearly every
day in the year.
Some disease germs which are not
killed outright by exposure to the sun's
rays are greatly restrained in their development.
This is true of the bacillus
of typhoid fever. Although it has been
shown by carefully conducted experi- j
ments that certain disease germs are I
promptly destroyed by the luminous ra- j
diations from the sun. and especially j
by those at the violet end of the solar
spectrum, it is also true that the heat
rays play an important part in the destruction
of harmful bacteria.
This is partly due to the fact that i
certain disease germs are quickly do- j
stroyed by being deprived of all moisture?by
desiccation. Thus the germs
of cholera and of pneumonia quickly
perish when completely dried.
Other germs, however, as those of
typhoid fever, of diphtheria and of
consumption, may retain their vitality
in a dried condition for several months.
But the germs of all these diseases are
destroyed by a comparatively low tern- [
perature. In experiments which I
made several years ago I ascertained
that the germs of pneumonia and of
cholera were killed by exposure for a
few minutes to a temperature of 120
degrees 1<\
A still lower temperature is effective !
if the time of exposure is prolonged, i
It is therefore evident that prolonged
exposure to the direct rays of the sun
would destroy these germs independently
of the disinfecting power or
germicidal action of the luminous rays
or the fatal results of desiccation.
Other disease germs require a higher
temperature .for their destruction.
The typhoid bacillus and the bacillus
of diphtheria are killed by exposure
to a temperature of 140 degrees F. for
ten minutes. In general, it may be
stated that this temperature is fatal
to all the mbst important disease germs.
The facts stated furnish a scientific
basis for practical disinfection, and it
is evident that when sunshine is available
no chemical agents are essential
for the destruction of disease germs.
Any article of food or drink which has
been heated for a few minutes to something
near the boiling point of water
is absolutely safe, so far as any danger
from disease germs is concerned,
and any article of clothing which has
been put through the ordinary opera- j
tions of the laundry is as safe as if it
had been placed for an hour in an expensive
steam disinfector or immersed
in a strong disinfecting solution.
It will be seen that scientific investigations
fully justify the practice of
good housewives, who at frequent in
tervals expose their manne-is anu articles
of woolen clothing, which cannot
be placed in boiling water without injury.
to a prolonged sun bath, who
scald out milk pans and kitchen utensils
and place them in the sun to dry
and who open up their sleeping apartments
for the admission of sunlight
