FOR BACKACHE--WEAK KIDNEYS TRY DeWITT'S KIDNEY and BLADDER PILLS-Sure and Safe Prepared by E. 0. DeWITT & CO., Chicago W. E. BROWN & CO. Tlhe "isr Lily. Almost e; . % y has o,:bserved the stran.e charncteristie of tile water !l'IV bud openIng its petals at sunrise and closin. them again at simset. It was for this reason mainly that the ain cients held the water lily sacred to the sun. Pliny says: 'It is reported that in the Euphrates the flower of the lo tus plunges into the water at night, re niaining there till midnight and to such a depth that it cannot be reached with. the hand. After midnight it begins gradually to rise, and as the sun rises above the horizon the flower also rises abtu the water, expands and raises Itself some distance above the element In which it grows." It was also through this peculiarity that Ilancatr ville proved that the Egyptians con sidered the lily an emblem of the world as it rose from the waters of the deep. Scot Free. The expression "scot free." which is In use every day, harks back to the times of Scottish romance and tragedy so luminously described by Sir Walter Scott in "The Antiquary" and "Rob [Roy." In these stirring tales we are told of one form of Scottish trials giv en certain offenders of justice. Ile who had broken the law was divested of all of his clothing and placed at a certain distance from archers who had bows and arrows ready. waiting the ccmmand. "Fire!" When the com mand was given, the man under indict ment would begin running and the archers firIng, and if in running this antlet none of the arrows hit him he was allowed to go scot free.-Exchange. A Real Genius. From the composers of all time Beethoven stands out by himself like some gigantic tree towering up above the rest of the forest. He was the greatest genius of all, not for any one thing that he did, but because he was equally great in every style of music that he essayed. The first test of real genius is the ability to excel in all directions. and for this reason I have always looked upon Beethoven, Shake speare and Turner as the three greatest geniuses who have ever existed.-EmIl Sauer in Strand Magazine.

AX Brookl.yn umn whlo entertained an Cgish relative tells this without the uiver of an eyelid: "My cousin from London reached ew York last summer, along wvith a ot wave.

We have many curious examplles of that kind in tis country. One of the most remarkable evidences of insatia le appetite for froth rather than sub stance is that of the American poultry lover who daIly advertises in our New York p)apers for 3,000 feather beds. As you may wa l imagine, he is said to ae entirely lost his taste for the flesh of the f'owl.' "'Oh, really"' exclaimed the English nan in quiet surprise. Nothing more was said till nine months later, wvhen opened my mail one day and found marked copy of the London Times, which he had sent to me. -lIe called my attention to this extract in an article on mob' rule and lynching in America, 'It can hardly be possible that the supply of tar and feathers in the United states will be suficeient at the rate the mobs are covering the bodies of the poor wretches who are tortured and humiliated before they are drawn and quartered or burned at the stake.' "'I fancy you will see your ermr after reading this,' he wrote. 'It is quite plain the man wanted the beds for another purpose and not, as you believe, to eat.' "-Brooklyn Eagle. Youthful Financier. This really happenied in New York the other day: Displeased Parent-MIolly, I find you have been buying three pairs of gloves without nmy permission. Why did you do so?

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle A PRIVATE DENTIST. One Luxury This Man Will Have When He Gets Rich. "If ever I get really rich," said the man with a toothache. "I shal have a private den tist. What do I want of a private denitist? Well, I'll tell you. "It's bad enough anyway to suffer from your teeth. but to me this suffer ing is made doubly distressing by the circumstances attendant upon my visit to the dentist's office. "f'arrive there to find the dentist working away upon the teeth of some patient in his chair, and that always sort of disturbs me-to find somebody lse being worked over and cared for while I wait in distress. I think I am entitled to all the care and sympathy. And maybe I find somebody else wait ing. perhaps'r friend of the person in the chair, or somebody waiting his turn, come ahead of time, and that disturbs me, for I like to wait with my pain in solitude. "But the dentist gets through with the patient in the chair on time for me, aid I take my place under his hands. And I don't doubt that I get his con entrated and complete attention and skill while he is operating upon me. but I can't get away from the idea that le is working as rapidly ats lhe can s-i ts to be ready foir the next patient. "'And then, with all my pain. I can't rorget either that person in the waiting room waiting his turn after me, and waiting without a ptarticle of sympa thy for me. and, in fact, rather impa tient of my presence and thinking of iimself alone. This is rather wounding to my self esteem. ~In fact, however 1 regard it, a visit to the dentist's ofi!.-e is always a jar ring eiperlence. My dentist is a man >f the highest professional skill, and, is I said, I am surl' get his best care, but still all these famIliar things that have mentloned.to you jar me, and [ would avoid them all if I could.

But in the beginning of the middle ages a change began to. take place in the method of mnixinig the Ingredients, and some other substances were brought into use. Butter. eggs nd sait found their wvay into pastry making, aind the result was a manifest improvement. Paste next came to be se as an inelosure for meat, seasoned' with spices. etc. Afterward it went a step further, the next use be'ing for the llos.fe of creams. fruit. p'reerves. ete.. and Iatel' still it began to take the many fami'iful shaipes in which it, has since been commonly found. In the early stages of English cookcery tihe pastry cases were called eoflins or "coffynes' and were made in v'ariouts izes from '"gret coffynes with lowg iddes" for thle "tairtes of' fliesehe" to the "smalle coffynles" for "tartolettes" of "fishe or iesche." mixed wvith stuf of boylled figges ground anad gooc powdure and11 spices."

Harmless Visitors From Whom We All Shrink In Terror. Deep down in te heart of man there abides a tirm lieif in the power of the dead to valk upon the earth and af fright. If such be their pleasure. the souls of the living. Wise folks, versed in the sciences and fortified in mind against faith in aught that savors of the supernatural, laugh ideas of the kind to scorn. yet hardly one of them will dare to walk alone through a graveyard in the Light, or If one be found so bold lie will surely hasten his footsteps. unable wholly to subdue the fear of sheeted specters which may rise from the grass grown graves or -merge frwin moonlit tombs and follow on, for, strangely enough, the dead, if not actualy hostile to the living, are steemed dangerous and dreadful to enounter. It used to be the fashion, says a writ r in Lippincott's Magazine, to sweep iway all such notions by saying that they had their origin in the childhood :f the race and that they sprang from fear of the unknown. This unqu tionably was the easiest way to C pose of them, but was it fair? The subject possesses intense interest for a reat majority of mankind, and, though the existenee of ghosts is unproved, there is undeniably a vast deal of tes timony in their behalf that deserves erious and respectful consideration. Fortunately. within the last few years the attitude of science toward the problem has altogether changed. and, ictuated by a new spirit of inquiry, the wvise men have been engaged, thought tully and without prejudice, in study Eng it out. While it cannot be said that auy final ind definite conclusions have as yet een reached. an immense amount of vidence has been sifted, enough to show pretty conc!usively for one point that the traditional specter of the Cock Lane school, with clanking chain and ittributes d isa greeably suggestive of the grave, has no basis in fact. On the >ther hhnd, there are certain phantoms, iltogether different in their character tstics, in whose behalf a mass of testi Mony is adduced far greater than rould l )e retflired to establish cemr lete proof in any ordinary case in a :ourt of law. .Nothing short of abso ute demonstration in such a matter yan be satisfactory. but the evidence n11 question certainly staggers incre luity. - Our fear of phantoms appears to spring from a dread of the unknown. :he mysterious and- the intangible. yhat it is a groundless terror is proved )y the fact that in many thousands of ases of alleged spectral appearances subjected during the last few years to ?ainstaking iuvestigation not a single nstance has been found in which an :jury was inflicted by the ghost upon the person or persons to whom it pre sented itself. So that, even if we are o accept :Ipparitions as veritable, we >ught to regard them with curiosity rather than with apprehension, and in tead of trying to-avoid such supernat aral visitors we should eagerly seek an apportunity to be haunted for the sake >f observing for ourselves phenomena so intensely interesting.

On an averIge ?;in's body there are 340,000 hai.s. ''ucking one every see ond it would .:tke him twelve eight hour working dtys to pull them all out. In his blood th.-re are 2>.000.000,000,000 red corpuscles. Laid out side by side they woutld cover a surface of 3,130 square yards. The whole of the blood passes through a mau's heart nearly twice in every minute. It weighs one-thirteenth of the entire body weight. and it moves In different parts of the body at speeds varying fromt ten feet to LW6 yards (nearly one mile) an hour. The fat of your body is fluid. It be comes solid only when the body cools after death. It is one of your most useful constituents, forming a noncon ducting sheath to protect you from cold, acting as pads to preserve from shock, on the tips of the fingers, the toes and the heels and lying always ready as a reserve food supply when you can get nothing to eat. A little artery passes from your brain through the skull into the scalp, which acts as a safety valve when the brain is congested with blood. The skin cannot grow again once It is destroyed; hence the unsightly scars left by burns and severe wounds. Only the surface lay'er can renew Itself. When the whole thickness is de stroyed, it never reforms. This Is the more curious as muscles, nerves, blood vessels and bones, all less liable to in jury than the skin, can grow again. You are really a water rather than a land animal. Although as a whole you live on dry land, your body con sists of countless millions of separate living particles, and these are all im mersed In the water which constitutes four-fifths of your substance. Within the inner paft of your ear, deep in the bone, is a quantity of fluid which acts as a spirit level and enables you to keep your balance.-Chicago Record-Herald.
