A donkey stepped into a store one day and asked for the proprietor, who awoke from his slumber and asked, “why are you hert ?" “I’m here,” said the donkey, “because I saw your sign on the fence that surrounds my pasture. I know that you too must be a donkey, or you would place your advertisement in a live newspaper where it would be read by people, not donkeys. Being lone some today, I thought I would be neigh borly and call on you.” A GREAT IRISHMAN. John Scotua Erigena, the Greatest Soholar of Hie Time*. A true critic not only points out error but also praises worth wherever found. Along with the O’Connells, the Burkes, the O’Rielleys and the rest so much lauded by our friend, the Irishman, we seldom see the name of a man greater than them all, John Scotus Erigena. But John has been called erratic by the church, so that this may account for the silence. a The very name of Scotus Erigena indicates the nationality of its owner. In the Ninth century, when John flour ished, Scotus was still applied to a native of the emerald isle. But John’s friends thought this not sufficient, they called him also Erigena (contrasted from Eringena), that is, “a native of Erin.” | He was born about 800 A. D., and was educated “in the best schools of Ireland” as the encyclopedia Brittanica tells us. He was the most learned man in the world in his day, so far as I can learn. Though not a priest, he was the most able theologian, which is proved by his being requested by Hincmar, archbishop of Pheims, to defend the freedom of the will against Qotteschalk, a German monk who had assailed that doctrine. It was in this connection that he produced his great work “On Divine Predestination” in which re pudiating all authority save that which is supported by reason, he declared that true philosophy is true religion, and | pro contra, true religion is true philo sophy. At this time Erigena was master of the palace schools at the court of the Emperor Charles, the Bald, and when the above writing attracted the un favorable attention of the pope and was condemned by him for the boldness of its views, he ordered the emperor to expel John from his court, but the order was not attended to. Thereafter churchmen cooled towards Erigend, even his old friend Hincmar grew luke warm. Prudentius, of Troyes, attacked him fiercely, saying, "You come over here and engage io controversy with us, you a barbarian, haying no ecclesiastical dignity and endowed only with your Celtic eloquence.” Yb Khitik.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of 1 THREE DOCTORS IX COHSOLTATIOH. "When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to be ebosen in the second place, what rei\son (i. e„ Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Ex perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con sulation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.”—Ben jamin Franklin. When you have a bad cold Dr. In clination would recomend Chamber lain's Cough Remedy because it is pleas ent and safe to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific prin ciples, and acts on nature's plan in re lieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition. For rale by P. C. Corrigan, druggist. Remarkable Sncu. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainview, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month bj her family physician, but grew worse.

Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefltted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this great discovery at P. C. Corri gan’s drug store. Large bottles SO cents and fl. Discovered By a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she with stood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three month she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. Cing’s New Discovery for Consump tion, and was so much relieved on tak ing first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured.
