Bishop Parot, of Baltimore, some time
ago was the guest of an Episcopal fam
ily in West Virginia. Learning from .the
Bishop that he liked hard-boiled eggs for
breakfast, his hostess went to the kitchen
to boll them herself. While so engagod
she began to sing tho first stnnza of the
hymn "Rock of Ages." Then she sang
tho second stanza, tho Bishop, who was
in the dining room, Joining In. When it
was finished, there was silence, and tho
Bishop lemnrked:
"Why not sing the third verse?"
"Tho third verso?" replied tho lady, as
she came into tho dining room, carry
ing the steaming eggs. "Oh, that's not
necessary."
"I don't understand," replied Bishop
Paret.
"Oh, you see," she said, "when I am
cooking eggs. I always sing one verse
for soft-boiled and two for hard-boiled."
A Remedy tor a Black Eye.
There Is nothing to compare with the
tincture or strong infusion of capsicum
annum mixed with an equal bulk ot mu
cilage or gum arable with the addition ot
a few drop? of glycerine. Tills should oe,
painted over tho brr.lrej surface with a
camel's-halr pencil and allowed to dry on
a second or third coating being applied
as soon as the first is dry, If this is
done as soon us tho injury is indicted it
will invariably prevent blackening of

has no equal In rheumatic soro or stitf

A IjII'K STORY.
Above lmr llttlo silferer's bed,
With all a mother's grace,
She stroked the curly, throbbing head,
Ar.d smoothed the fevered face.
"Ho does not know my love, my fears.
My toll of heart and hand;
But some day In the t.tter years,
Some day ha'll ui'derstond;
Somj day he'll know
I loved him so,
Some day he'll understand,'"
A wild lad pluys his thoughtless part
As fits his childhood's lot.
And tramples on his mother's heart
Ofttlmes und knows It not.
Ho plays among his noisy mates
Nor knows his tiuest friend;
Ills mother sighs, as still the waits,
"Some day he'll comprehend;
The day will be
When ho will tee.
Some day he'll comprehend."
The strong youth plays Ids stitnuous
part;
His mother waits alone.
And soon he finds another heart
The mute unto his own
She gives him up in joy and woe,
He takes his young bride's hand,
His mother murmurs. "Will ho know
And ever understand'.'
When he wilt know
I love him so;
When will he understand?"
The strong man tights his buttling days.
The light Is hard and grim,
Ills mother's plain, old-faBhloncd ways
Have little chatm for him.
The dimness falls around her years,
Tho shadows 'round her stnnd,
She mourns In loneliness and tears,
"He'll never understand.
He'll never know
1 loved him so;
He'll nover undtistnud."
A beared man of serious years
Bends down above tho dcud,
And rains tho tributo of his tears
Over nn old, gray head.
He stands the open grave above,
Amid tho mourning bands;
And now he knows his mother's love, .
And now be understands.
Now doth lie know
She loved hlnr so.
And now he understands.

PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH
Leading Clergymen of Every Denomination Use and Advise
Paiiie's Celery Compound. -
Like Goldsmith's parson who
Tried each art, reproved each dull de
lay. Allured to brlghted worlds and led the
way,
great nreaohers throughout the coun
try have been the most untiring and
earnest In telling the truth about
Palne's celery compound, In urging
sick people to use it, and at the same
time they themselves have employed
the great remedy In their own homes
with results that have steadily kept up
their faith in Its health-giving powers.
It is significant that Paint's celery
compound stands alone ns the one rem
edy that Is freely used In the homes
not only of clergymen, but of all liber
ally ns well as professionally educated
men: physicians, lawyers, school teach
ers and others, while every other rem
edy purporting to accomplish equal re
sults, Is promptly shown the door.
No class of men have the public good
so disinterestedly at heart us clergy
men; none others see so intimately the
affairs of so many homes. It Is their
business to know the sade sld, sorrows
and sufferings. As confidant, confessor
and comforter they learn the truth as
even the physician often falls to do.
And clergymen recommend Palne's
celery compound wherever they enter
a home where Home member needs a
general building up of the body, a puri

It cannot be repeated too often that
the stomach is the fountain which sup
plies every part of the body. If the
stomach Is sick, the brain, heart, liver,
bowels and kidneys are all sick. The
trouble may all be felt In one . pot; It
may be In the bruin, or in a rheumutlo
muscle. It will bo felt In the weakest
place. Palne's celery compound is ful
ly competent to correct all such dis
ordered conditions of the stomach, and
to restore u healthy, hearty tone that
will enable It to meet every demand
made upon It by hard-worked brain,
heart and nerves.
A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish
seet. healthy chyme, as the digested
food Is called, but acids and poisonous
I gases, and the bruin and nerves thus

Fidelity to Order.
An Irish member of the Sixth regiment
of South Carolina Infnrtry wus stationed
on the beach of Sullivan's Island, with
orders to walk between two specified
points, und to let no one puss without
giving the countersign, uccordlug to the.
Toronto Catholic Beulster. Ho wus one
of those soldiers who believed in obey
lug orders to tho letter. Two hours ut
ter Hugh hus thus been stationed, tho
corporal with the relief appeared in tho
moonlight, and was ustonrtdied to see
Hugh walking to and fro up to his wulst
in water. Tho tide hud como In.
"Who goes thero?" demnnded the sen

"Half, relief! Advunce, corporal, und

food, but food well digested that pro
duces llesh and blood. Palne's celery
compound disposes the body to tak
on flesh. It makes the breath sweeter,
the strength mora enduring, the body
plumper and the spirits better.
Dyspeptics and nervous, sickly per
sons, whose lives nre a failure, both as
to enjoyment and usefulness, ought to
learn how closely their debility, aches
and palnes depend on their general
run-down condition, und that the sen
sible, lasting cure can only come from
building up their general health and
constitution, This Is the grand mission '
of Palne's celery compound. It cures
neuralgia, rheumatism, stomach trou
bles, blood diseases and headaches by,
this enlightened, broad treatment. Pure '
blood and plenty of It, quiet, satisfac
torily fed nerves and n condition of the
brain that makes sound, sweet sleep a
safeguard against all nervous troubles

used.
If you are "played out," to use a for

There wus nothing for tho corporal to
