Thompson's Barosma has never been known to fail to cure any disease of the Kidneys, Liver and Bladder ; also Rheumatism, Sciatica, Palpitation of the Heart, Nervous Debility, and Female Weakness. Thompson's Barosma reduces all the inflammation, neutralizes the acid and dissolves gravel, carrying off all matter that is poisonous to the blood, stomach, heart, kidneys and liver. It is purely vegetable and pleasant to take. No opiate in any form is used in its manufacture. It can be taken by all ages and has cured many children of non-retention or bedwettiug. "I had leen troubled with rhemnntism ever since I wus eighteen years old, and when I went into the dniK store I hud little faith iu Thompson's Barosma. I have taken six bottles of Karosma and am better than I have been in twelve years. I can work every day, something I had not done in ten years. Thompson's Barosma regn lates my whole system and I am stronger and better in every way, and am glad to bear this testimony. Thanks to Thompson's Burosnia." Johnson X. Dcnk, Troy Center, Penn'n.

Tliey Miy Iliive 'nnctl Ihe Down full of the Imperial ( It)'. When Home was in her jjlory and men were strong ami women, beauti ful, they set tiist importance upon the bath. There were 800 public baths in imperial ICoine. P.eforo taking 11 bath the Uoinan took a little exercise. In ihe later history of Homo the room In which he un dressed was heated, and after undress ing he was anointed with oil. Then came the scratching ami rubbing of the skin with the strigil. Following this perspiration was promoted by heated air or a hot bath. The bath was completed with a cold douche or cold plunge. Finally the body was suointed again. It Is believed by many writers that the introduction of the hot bath in Ihe place of the cold bath among the Konians was the principal cause of their downfall. The luxury of the hot bath was weakening anil destroyed that personal valor and hardihood for which the Romans were notorious in their earlier history. Little by little the enervating influ ence of the hot bath gradually sapped away the vitality of the Uoinan soldier until the more hardy men of the north found them very easy foes to con-o.uer.-Medical Talk.

The photographer was about to take a picture of a young woman. "It's so dark here," he said, "that I guess I'll give you about thirty seconds," nnd, drawing out the slide nnd removing the cap. he began to count In a meas ured and mechanical tone, "one, two, three, four, ftve." and so on. When the exposure was finished the sitter said: "You gave more than thirty sec onds to that plate. You counted very slow I'm sure It took you a full min ute to count thirty." The photographer handed his watch to the young woman. He said: "I'll count thirty again. Time me." And he made the count exactly ns before nnd he wns Just twenty-nine seconds making It. "Due second off not so had. Near my old record, in fact," said the photographer. "Ten years ago. when I made more pictures than I do today, I could by counting make exposures up to live minutes without being more than a second off. Vsually I'd be n second under; but, over or un der, It was only by one second that I'd be out of the way. Hut." he added, "this gift Is not remarkable. Nearly every photographer has It.

PAYING TELLERS' ERRORS. Thoae Official Are luaallr Heady to Rectify Mlatakea. A bank officer, referring In a recent address to the responsibility of paying tellers, declares that the Idea that such officials were rarely willing to rectify mistakes had little basis in fact. He ndded: "How Is It that there exists in the minds of many the Idea that pay ing tellers nre Inclined to resent even the suggestion that they make errors in counting money? 1 have never known one who made the slightest claim to Infallibility. Who has not heard the ancient nnd oft told story of a teller who was asked by u person for whom he has cashed a check If he had not made a mistake? As the narrative usually runs the self satisfied money counter behind the desk Is Inclined to become indignant and replies In a pompous and abrupt manner that he never makes mistakes. The consider ate party then states that the amount paid him exceeded that named In the check, but the teller still maintains that there can be no error either way, ns he never makes mistakes. "When is the teller who upon Iwlng told he had made an error would fall to politely inquire as to the nature of the same? The inforem-e Is that tell ers are possessed of so much vanity and conceit that they lose the amount said to be overpaid rather than ac knowledge an error. How unlikely nnd ridiculous.'" New York Post. JnRtna von l.lehlK. Von I.leblg was skillful In correcting popular delusions on scientific subject. A notable example of this may be found In the overthrow of the om-e much discussed theory of "spontu ne ons combustion," a comparatively mod ern error, dating. It seems, only from the year 17-5. but which persisted long after Lavoisier had explained the real nature of fire, which was from time to time put forward with success In the defense of persons on trial for murder and received its last support from Charles Dickens. His success iu this direction throws a pleasant light on the progress of civilization. One won ders what would have been the fate of Von Llebig had he opposed himself to such 1111 error In the sixteenth century when Kepler could only save his moth er from going to the stake for witch craft by satisfying her Judges that she possessed none of the signs essential to a witch.

A ceo rill nil In a Qiinlnt l.ea-end of the Haul. The prophet was taking n stroll In the country when he saw n serpent, stiff with cohl, lying on the ground, lie compassionately took It up and warmed It in his bosom. When the serpent had recovered It said: "Divine prophet, listen. I nin now going to bite thee." "Why, pray?" Inquired Mohammed. "Hocause thy race makes perpetual wnr on mine," said the serpeut. "But thy race, too, makes perpetual war against mine," wus the prophet's rejoinder. "How canst thou, besides, be so ungrateful ami so soon forget that I saved thy life?" "There Is no such thing as gratitude upon this earth." replied the serpent, "and If I were now to spare thee cither thou or another of thy race would kill inc. By Allah, I shall bite thee:" "If thou hast sworn by Allah I will not cause thee to break thy vow," said the prophet, holding his hand to the serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him, but he sucked the wound with bis lips and spat the venom on the ground. And on that very spot there sprung up a plant which combines within Itself the venom of the serpent and the com passion of the prophet. Men call this plant by the name of tobacco. "To bacco In Song and Story." Wind nnd Temperature. The wind does not affect the ther mometer, as any one may find out for himself by a simple test. Take two dry bulb thermometers of exactly the same kind and hang one of them where it will be exposed to the wind and the other where It will be sheltered say. on two sides of the corner of the house iind after allowing them to hang thus for a few minutes you will find that they register the same. And yet the person who stands near the ther mometer that hangs In the wind will feel the cold more sensibly than the person who stands near the sheltered one. The wind Is simply air in motion. and air In motion Is 110 colder than the same air In a state of rest. We feci colder In the wind simply because its blowing over us takes the heat away from the body by causing a more rap id evaporation from the skin. There Is 110 evaporation from the dry bulb of a thermometer, and therefore the wind docs not affect It. Thomax erlyle nnd Ilia AVI re. As a married couple they were In deed to be pitied If the world had known It. They were childless, and therefore half the world was dark to them. No man can be a "sage" who has no children. A barren woman Is like half a story. Let her be ever so clever, so literary, so witty, when it conies to the essentials of life she is open to the retort. How do you know? And so It was with the Carlylcs in their unsatisfying world of literary eminence. Pity them, gentle reader!

Loudon Outlook. A Plea For I)PKcrllve Tilled. Setting aside the flood not to be counted ns literature, the naming of a book that Is worthy of a naine is n matter of real moment. Two methods seem to have been followed that of using the name of a leading character, as "Jane Eyre" and "Hob Uoy;" the other that of giving some hint of the nature of the book, as in "Vanity Fair" and "The Cloister and the Hearth." The first method has no justification. What we plead for is that a title shall contain the soul or the keynote of the book. Then the author and reader start on fair terms. Jane Austen, a consummate artist, understood this well, ns In "Pride and Prejudice," but forsook her advantage In "ICinma" a better book and susceptible to ns tell ing n title. It Is difficult to estimate what would have been the loss to lit erature If "The Scarlet Letter" had been labeled "Hester Prynne" nnd "The House of Seven (iables" u title that has worked its way Into architec turehad been called "The Pyn cheons."
