Mlllals and "Boy Bin."
When Sir Jno. Mallais was a student
at the Royal Academy he rejoiced in the
friendship of a fellow student by the
name of Potherd. Potherd ' among
other eccentricities, affected a long
blue coat with a catskln collar, which
he wore on all occasions. Millais was
still struggling with his charcoal, when
"Boy Blue" left the academy and set
up as a full-fledged artist, and the
friends thus became separated. Mil
lais had achieved fame and painted
some world-renowned pictures before
he met his old friend again. Walking
down the streets of Camden Town one
day Sir John saw a figure in a long
blue cloak trudging along before him.
"Surely," said Millais, "I know that
cloak; it must be Potherd." Quicken
ing his step, he called out: "Hallo!
Potherd. how are you?" "And who
may you be?" said "Boy Blue." "I am
Millais; don't you remember me?" "Not
little Johnny Millais, surely?" said the
shabby Potherd, . surveying the well
groomed Sir John. "Judging by your
appearance, Millais, I should say you
had Riven the arts the go-by. What
do you do for a living?" "Paint,
groaned Sir John, thinking what a very
local thing fame is after all.

The Pyramid File dure the Only Pile Dure
Beoommended by Pbjiioiani u
- Being Perfectly Safe-

The Pyramid Pile Cure is probably the
only pile cure entensively recommended
by physicians, because it is safe, so
prompt in the relief afforded and so far
as known the only positive cure for
piles except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, tbe safest and
the most extensively sold of any pile cure
before the public.
Nearly all druggists sell it at 50 cents
and tl per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich., for book on cause and cure of
piles, and also hundreds of . testimonials
from all parts of tbe United Mates.
If suffering from any form of pilas, ask
your druggist for a package of Pyramid
Pile Cure and try it tonight.
Choosing Novel.
A writer lets out a secret regarding
the way in which younk women read
novels.
It was in the tram-car, that place in
which the experiences are varied
enough to make a man cosmopolitan if
he will study them. Two girls are
talking of what they read.
"Oh, I choose a novel easily enough,"
one said. "I go to the circulating li
brary and look at the last chapters. If
I find the rain softly and sadly droop
ing over one or two lonely graves, I
don't take it, but if the morning sun
is glimmering over bridal robes of
white satin, I know it is all right, and
take it, and start to buy sweets to eat
while I read It." London Standard.
The Price of Slaves.
It is very curious to read in an old
Roman history of the prices paid for
slaves in the palmy days of the em
pire. As a general thing, a laborer
could be bought for about 16 of our
money, but after a province had been
conquered or a great victory won, hun
dreds would sometimes be bought for
1 to 2 each. After the siege of
Jerusalmen by Titus, the price of
slaves fell to 16s. Skilled laborers
and artisans brought more. A garden
er was worth about 60, a blacksmith
140, a good cook often brought 500,
an actor or actress 1,000, and a physi
cian 2,000. English Paper.
EMINENT TESTIMONY
Begaiding the New Discovery for Curing
Dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Dr. Hartzman, who has made many
tests of the new dyspepsia cure, is very
enthusiastic in his praise of this excel
lent preparation. It is not a secret pat
ent medicine, but is composed of pure
pepsin, bismuth, fruit salts and vegeta
ble essences, made into pleasant tasting
tablets or lozenges and sold by
druggists at 50 cents per package, under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Dr. nartzmaii states that btuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspepsia and
weak stomachs, because they possess
the peculiar power of digesting whatever
wholesome food is taken into tbe stom
ach. They do not act on the bowels
like cathartics, but act entirely on the
food, digesting it thoroughly and quick
ly, giving the stomach a chance to rest
and recover its natural strength, which
it invariably will do after a course of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. If your
druggist hasn't them in stock, ask him
to order a small quantity from his
wholesaler.

Aluminum Coffins.
Aluminum coffins are the latest and
the New York, Pittsburg and St. Louis
undertakers carry them in stock. They
are made of uniform width, square ends
and vertical sides and ends, such being
the accepted shape of the modern bur
ial casket. Tbey are finished with a
heavy molding around the bottom and
at the upper edge, and with pilasters at
the corners and with a round molded
top. They are provided with extension
bar handles. Aluminum caskets are
not covered, but finished with a metal
surface burnished. They are lined In
the same manner. The non-corrosive
qualities of aluminum as well as the
lightness of the caskets recommend
them. A six-foot aluminum coffin
weighs but 100 pounds, an oak casket
of the same size 190 pounds, a cloth cas
ket with metal lining about 175 pounds.
Other metallic caskets weigh from 450
to 600 pounds. Aluminum coffins are
not likely to become popular among the
poor, as their cost ranges from $100 to
$750. New York World.

YOUNG AT FIFTY.
E0W A METHODIST MIBI8TEB CAB
BIES HIS 1EABS-
Ber. William Your, of Oiwtgo, Telle a
Beporter Hie Secret of Good Health
Will 8urely Btnefit Every
one Who Fellowi Hie
Advice.
From the Times, Oswego, N. T.
Probably no man s better known or
more highly respected in Oswego, N. Y.,
than Rev. William Young of the Metho
dist church. Mr. Young has not a con
ference appointment, but holds a respon
sible position with the Oswego City Sav
ings bank, where be has been a trusty
employe for the past twenty years.
In the spring of 1894 Mr. Young look
ed as if his time on earth was limited and
that he would be laid at rest with tbe
great majority before snow covered the
ground. Bat instead of failing, as was
predicted, he soon gained a more healthy
look and appeared stronger. As the
months went by his improvement con
tinued, until now he U as rugged and ap
parently as healthy as a young man of
thirty, although his gray locks denote a
more advanced age. A Times reporter,
determined to find out what had made
this great, and it might be said phenom
enal change, called upon Mr. Young at
the bank and put the question direct
and received the following reply:
"In truth I am a changed man, and I
owe my present good health to Dr. Wil
Hams' Pink Pills. In the spring of 1894
I was all run down and bad commenced
to think that my time had come, (had
to be prescribed for by physicians, and
although I received temporary relief, the
same old trouble came back again and I
was worse than before. 1 bad no
strength or appetite, and physically I
was in a miserable condition. After my
work I would go home, but the general
lassitude which hung over me left me
without any ambition, and when I would
go to the table to eat my appetite failed
me and I would have to leave without
taking hardly any nourishment. My
kidneys were also badley affected, and I
was in utter despair. One day, here at
the bank, I happened to pick up one of
the local papers, and my eye fell on the
advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. 'The advertisement gave a de
scription of a man who, afflicted as I
then was, had been cored by using Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I was not a believ
er in that kind o! doctoring, but con
eluded as a last resort to try a box of
the pills, making up my mind that if
they did not help me I certainly would
not be injured any. Going to a drug
store, 1 purchased a box of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and commenced taking
them according to directions, very soon
after I began to feel better and I saw I
bad made no mistake in trying the pills.
and before the first box was emptied I
felt so much better that I immediately
purchased another. I had taken seven
boxes of the pills, and at the end of last
summer I felt that I was entirely cured
and discontinued their use, but always
keep a box handy if occasion requires.
I am now entirely cured. The lassitude
has left me, my kidneys are all right and
my appetite well, you should see me at
the table. 1 am a new man again, and
instead of feeling like a man of fifty,
which is my age; I feel like a youngster
of twenty, and I give Dr. Williams Pink
Pills the full credit for this great change.
I have recommendtd these pills to sever
al of my neighbors and acquaintances,
who have been relieved of their com
plaints." William Young, being duly sworn, de
poses and says he is the gentleman re
ferred to in tbe above interview, and it
is true in every respect.

The Divine Right of Kings.
"The divine right of kings" is the
very ancient doctrine that the king was
the immediate representative of Deity
to whom alone he was responsible for
his actions. This doctrine, early In the
seventeenth century, was the source of
great controversies in England, be
tween the royalists and the "round
heads." Though advocated and devel
oped by Hobbes and other thinkers of
that time, the doctrine was long ago
exploded.
