When the light of day is fading,
III tae crimson-tinted west,
And the evening shadows gather
O'er the mountain's purple crest;
Let us pause amid life's duties,
At the setting of the sun,
To review each act of kindness,
And each deed that we have done
If lrom out the depths of sorrow,
We have helped some friend to rise
Showing him the path of duty.
Leading on to sunny skies;
If with words of love and comfort,
We can make him hope again,
Then our labors are not useless,
And we have not lived in vain.
If from out our wealth of sunshine,
We have cast one rosy ray,
Lighting up the dreary darkness
Of some lonely out-cast's way;
If with gentle words of kindness,
We have soothed the fitful pain,
Then our labor was'not useless,
And we have not lived in vain.
Let us use the golden moments,—
At the most they are but few,—
For the service of the Master,
And the good that we may do,
Let us scatter many blessings,
All along the shiny road,
Leading upward out of darkness,
To the blessed light of God.

"There was a tailor, a friend of
mine, who once made me a suit," said
a doctor. "Through some oversight or
bit of carelessness on the part of an
assistant the coat was much too small.
I promptly took it back, and he made
me another.
"Some months later my tailor and I
met at an old mutual friend's funeral.
The tailor was under the impression
that the deceased had been a patient
of mine.
"'Well, doc,' said he, 'you're a hang
night luckier than I am.'
"'How's that?" I asked.
"'Well, it's a cinch they can't return
any poor work of yours.'"—Cincinnati

JUVENILE BLOCKHEADS.
8tupid Boys Who Developed Into World
Famous Men.
There is quite a long record of fa-
mous men who in their boyhood were
regarded as fools and dullards. Sir
Walter Scott was called a "blockhead"
by bis mother. The mother of Brins-
ley Sheridan despaired of teaching him
the simplest elements. Her death
aroused him to activity and he became
a scholar, philosopher, poet, wit, states-
man and oratoa Degn Swift, the keen-
est wit of his age, was "plucked" at
Dublin university. Newton, Shake-
speare, Michelangelo and Oliver Gold-
smith all come in the category.
One day a slatternly woman rushed
out of a little grocer's shop gripping
an unkempt boy by the ear, and as she
pulled him along she shouted to her
neighbor:
"My heart is fairly broke with that
brat, Tammy, and he is so stupid he
can learn nothin'!"
That stupid brat Tammy became the
poet Tom Moore.
In a country schoolhouse in Queen's
county, Ireland, a boy with a blunt
knife cut in the desk "A. W.," the in-
itials of his name. The teacher, who
caught him in the act, cried out:
"Stupid, you are better at cutting let-
ters,and destroying desks than you are
at learning your lessons!"
That boy was Arthur Wellesley,
known to fame as the Duke of Wel-
lington, hero of Waterloo.
In the middle years of the last cen-
tury, in St. Malachy's college, Belfast,
a boy carved the letters "C. R." in the
wood. The French professor reported
him and declared that he "was besides
a worthless boy, who would never
amount to anything."
"I will amount to more than you!
"
returned the youth.
He did, for he became lord chancel
lor of England—Lord Russell of Kil
lowen.—London Graphic.

There was smuggling on the coast,
but we revenue officers were not able
to locate the point where the goods
were being run in. We were told that
it was a beach midway between the
two principal ports of the region. We
watched the coast night and day for
weeks, but not a sign of illicit work
did we see. Driving tothecity,I reach-
ed a point on a rocky coast Night was
coming on, and no hotel or other.shel-
ter was at hand. I espied a house a
short distance ahead of me, set on
rocks against which the waves were
beating. It was of brick and colonial
in style, with long pillars extending
from the porch to the roof, which was
built out to cover it The place had a
forlorn look, and on coming up to it I
found it unoccupied.
I went around it, thinking that if I
could effect an entrance I would at
least find shelter there for the night,
but there was not a window or a door
that was not perfectly secured. I was
about to drive on, when I espied a
limb of a tree brushing against an
upper window, one shutter of which
had rotted away. I climbed the tree,
went out on the limb, broke the glass
and entered the house.
Had it not been for curiosity I would
have gone out as quick as I came In.
While it was furnished throughout,
there was not an article In it that was
not rotting away. There was bed-
clothing, but it was moth eaten; there
were curtains, but they were dropping
from their supports; there were car-
pets, but they came apart as I walked
over them. The only live things In the
house were millions of hugs.
I would have retired from this dis-
mal abode and slept in the open air,
but the night was cool and I espied
a fireplace in one of the rooms. So
with the fragments of once handsome
¦irs and other articles I built a fire.
i. having gone out for my blan-
.ind stabled my horse, I rolled my-
^.r in the former, lay down before
the fire and slept.
Something awakened me, I knew not
what. The fire was out but there was
a strip of light on the ceiling abovemy
head. While I was viewing It with
perplexity it moved. In a moment, re-
membering that I was on the ground
floor and the flooring had shrunken so
as to leave cracks, it occurred to me
that there was some one in the cellar.
Noticing a round spot of light on the
ceiling, I knew it came through a knot-
hole, and, crawling to the hole, I could
look into the cellar.
Several men were storing bales and
boxes.
"Oho!" I exclaimed to myself. "Here
ia the leak! While we have been
watching the smugglers above they
have been running goods in down here.
I warrant the man who put us on to
the false location was one of them."
I made up my mind very quickly as
to my course of action—that is, I
n case
they didn't go to the stable and find
my horse, which would betray me. I
would remain where I was till morn-
ing, then pursue my journey, return
with others, lie in wait for the smug-
glers and capture the gang. They
were not in the cellar ten minutes aft-
er I awakened. Then the light ceasedto
shine, and there was no further evi-
dence of their presence. I listened to
hear them go out, to make sound of
locking a door or give other evidence
of their departure, but not a whisper
did I hear. They seemed to have gone
into the ground or flown up a chimney.
In the morning I went Into the cel-
lar, examined the goods, consisting of
silks; laces and other articles to which
a high duty is attached. I then went
above and looked carefully to the
openings. They were all barred and
bolted on the inside. Returning to the
cellar, I looked about for some means
of egress there. I found none. There
seemed to be no way the men could
get out except as I had come In,
through a window.
But how did they bring in the cases
of goods?
Not willing to leave the place with-
out further investigation, I walked all
over the premises and down to the
rocks on which the waves were break-
ing. Unfortunately the tide was high.
It was unfortunate because I could
have made a more satisfactory exami-
nation of the rocks if it had been at
the ebb. I resolved to drive to the
nearest farmhouse, get a breakfas
and return in six hours when the flde

Lydia E. Pinkham 's Vegetable Compound ? We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkab le
cures after all other meanshad failed.
Women who are suffering with some form of female
illness should consider this.
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters. We guarantee they aregenuine and honest state-
v
merits of facts.
Cresson, Pa.—*'Five years ago I bad a bad fall, and hurt
myself inwardl y. I was under a doctor 'scare for nine weeks*
and when I stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a bott le of
Lydia E. Pinkhani 's Vegetable Compound , took it as directed,
and now I am a stout, hearty woman.1*—Mrs. Ella E. Aikey,

I was advised by friends to take tydia E.Pinkham 's Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier. I am completely cured of my
ills, and I am nearly sixty years old."—Mrs.Sarah Iieighton ,

Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordina rypractice does not
cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E. ;

would be at the lowest point. When j
I went back I found that a rock had
been left exposed which I couldn't see
from the shore. There was no boat at
hand, but the water was sufficiently
lhallow for me to get on to a small
rock farther out. After reaching it
I turned and saw an opening in the
rock into which a boat could be pulled
at half tide. I was bound not to go
away without knowing all about it,
so I made a raft, pulled myself to. the
opening and walked through a pas-
sage leading in the direction of the
house, till I was barred by an iron
door.
That satisfied me for the time. I
went home, brought assistance, enter-
ed the house when no one else was
about, waited for the next appearance
of the smugglers and took them all In.
Subsequent investigation showed
that they had concealed a trapdoor in
a subcellar with earth, the trap open-
Ing into the passage leading to the
water. At high tide the mouth of the
passage was.concealed and at low tide
resembled a mere cleft in the rocks.
Here are a few "bulls" that have
been perpetrated from time to time in

"One most important point of the
agricultural question is the main-
tenance of the breed of horses to
which I have the honor to belong."
"We are here for the weal and woe
of our constituents."
"Gentlemen, consider this question
In the light of a dark future."
"The eye of the law weighs heavily
on our press legislation."
"There, gentlemen, is the ever chang-
ing point of which the opposition has
made a hobbyhorse."
"This taunt is the same old sea ser-
pent which for years and years has
been groaning In this assembly."

Uranium appears to have a aecaaent
life history, breaking down into other
elements, of which radium is one,
which In turn yield the emanation
and other elements designated as
radium A, B, etc. The theory has
been propounded that uranium, tho-
rium and radium are undergoing
atomic disintegration, and the heat
that radium evolves Is the direct out-
come of explosions of the atomic
structure. Elements of lower atomic
weight thus result, and hence the ap-
pearance of helium. This would ac-
:ount for the presence of helium in
the rocks and spring waters of the
globe, where It has been accumulating
tor millions of years. — Dr. Charles

DEATH BOARDS.
Curious Custo m That Prevails In East-
am Bavaria.
In the eastern half of Bavaria, says
a writer In the Wide World Magazine.
on the borders of Bohemia, lies tbe so
called Bavarian forest. This part of
the country, although It boasts beauti-
ful scenery. Is seldom visited by tour-
ists, probably for the reason that the
charms of the region are little known
even In Germany. This part of Bava-
ria has been In many ways untouched
by civilization, and owing to Its seclu-
sion from the outer world some very
strange customs are still in vogue,
strongly reminding one of the middle
ages.
One of these strange customs! strict-
ly observed by the population. Is the
way In which they keep alive the
memory of their dead by the erection
of what are called "totenbretter." or
"death boards." These are wooden
planks cut In the shape of tombstones
and roughly painted. Sometimes they
bear also the Image of a saint They
are erected—often hi a row of thirty
and more—on the roadside. In fields
and meadows, near chapels and cruci-
fixes, In the village streets—In short,
everywhere; they are even nailed to
housesand barns.
*
They do not mark burial places, as
might be supposed. As soon as a per-
son has died the corpse Is put on a
board, and there it lies In state until It
Is put Into the coffin shortly before the
funeral These boards, then, are the
socalled "deathboards," and after the
funeral they are cut into a suitable
shape and decorated with an Inscrip-
tion containing tbe name of the de-
ceased, his age and In most cases
some lines of poetry.
These short poems, which are, of
course
, meant In sober earnest
, are oc-
casionally very amusing. The boards
are then stuck somewhere near the
road or In the fields, where they some-
timesaccumulate to an alarming num-
ber. In the poorer districts these
boards are not always cut into shape
and painted, but are simply deposited
just as they are at the foot of some
crucifix, where they remain untouched
until they molder away.
Once made, a brick is practically in-
destructible. Nearly every brick that
has ever been made by man from the
beginning of time is still in existence
on this earth. The men who made and
laid them and who directed these
operations have long since been gath-
ered Into dust. Some of them bare
doubtless contributed in their bodiesto
the making of more bricks. But the
steadfast and enduring square of
baked clay persists and will until the
heavens and earth are shriveled like
a scroll.

It Slowly but Surely Destroys the Cells
of the Brain.
Modern science has brought to light
aothing more curiously interesting
than that worry wili kill. More re-
markable still, it has been able to de-
termine Just how worry does kill.
It is believed by many scientists
who have followed carefully the
growth of the science of brain dis-
eases that scores of the deaths set
down to their causes are due to worry
and that alone. The theory is a sim-
ple one, so simple that any one can
readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Wor-
ry injures beyond repair certain cells
of the brain, and, the brain being the
nutritive center of the body, the other
organs become gradually injured, and
when some diseases of these organs or
a combination of them arises death
finally ensues.
Thus worry kills. Insidiously, like
many other, diseases, it creeps upon
the brain in the form of a single, con-
stant, never lost idea, and as a drop-
ping of water over a period of years
will wear a groove In the stone, so
does worry gradually, imperceptibly
and no less surely destroy the brain
cells that lead all the rest, which are,
bo to speak, the commanding officers
of mental power, health and motion.
Worry, to- make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm if
it comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worrlment the brain can
cope with, but the iteration and the
reiteration of one idea of a disquiet-
Ing sort the cells of the brain are not
proof against.
It is as if the skull were laid bare
and the surface of the brain struck
lightly with a hammer every few sec-
onds with mechanical precision, with
never a sign of a stop or the failure
of a stroke. Just in this way does the
annoying idea, the maddening thought
that will not be done away with, strike
or fall upon certain nerve cells, never
ceasing, diminishing the vitality-of the
delicate organisms that are so minute
that they can be seen only under the
microscope.—Journal of .Physiological
Therapeutics.

" WORRY DOES KILL
"If this town is as healthful as you
say it is, why do there happen to be so
many doctors' signs in evidence?'
"They are nearly all the signs of eye
doctors. The people are so healthy
here that they stay up nights enjoying
the climate and injure their eyes."

"When my wife makes up her mind,"

to change her opinion."—Washington
