"Sir, it is impossible not to be struck with the similarity of events hich occurred something like 1,900 years ago with those which are oc curring in our own day. Nineteen hundred years ago at a time when the empire of Rome had reached the sum- mit of its power, Paul of Tarsus in the course of his labors as an aposthk of Christ, was attacked by a mob and "his life was imperilled. He bethought {himself of his Roman citizenship and he had only to utter the words: '1 am a Roman citizen,' and his life was safe. "That fact was his talisman and at once he was safe from the mob. | Now in our own day, only last week, a disciple of Christ in the city of Rome, once the mistress of the world, whose name carried with it a mission like {that of Paul of Tarsus, ie also attack- "say.

And, as his tal- jsman, he unfurls the British flag; it floats to the breeze over the famous city as his talisman and the result & writer accepted an invitation to that all danger passes away and the mob is awed. "1 have made this remark to the honorable member for Jacques Cartier Wherever there are rights, there are privileges, there wise duties and responsibilities and, so long as we enjoy the rights and privi leges of British citizenship, so long we must, we shall, we will, assume and accept all the responsibilities that ap pertain to that position, "These are the scntiments with which should approach this ques sion. 1 say 'we."

Harriet was thrilled by the way he said it. His wile must be a happy woman, she thought. She said as much to Miss Flick, the little English teacher, when they had been in. the doctor's home dor over a "How happy his wife must be." Dr Redmond was one of the men who, in a selfish world, forgot himself and lived only for the poor souls who depended upon him. Night and day he toiled; gloryving in his op- portunities," never too tired nor busy to give himself for others. Harriet thought of the boys she had known--nico follows, but occupied with having a good time. She decided that if she ever married sho would choose a man like the doctor. She wondered what kind of woman his wife might be, and complained to Miss Flick, *'The gdoctor's wife hasn't heen in to sea wd ote! \ "My dear," Miss Flick exclaimed, "he isn't married."

Ella H.' Strakton in Suburban Life. A friend off mina tolls of a hobolink jeniks loarned to sing like a canary. { He was captured when quite small | and given a cage beside a fine singer, { for which he soon oxhibited a great attachment. He would sit perfectly Istill om his perch, for a long time | watching his friend intently, then: try { his best to imitate his sweet notes. | Ho tried for three or four wecks ber | fore making any progress; then he succeeded in sounding one pote almost \correctly. When he realized his suc- |cess his wild joy was pathetic, and {the canary's pleasure was very evi ident. Then 'he redoubled his efforts { until he could sing nearly the whole canary sone. After that he and Dick always sang in concert. But, strang- est of all, his character seemed to change with his song. Instead of | singing but 5 short time in the soeing, as bobolinks do, he sanz all the time except when moulting. And he imitated his friend's charac eristics 'so perfectly that he became a: canary in all but appearance. Was It Worth It?

There is an ancient tale of a band of Arabs being persued by their cne- mics which sums up their theory about a horse's color. Among the fleeing hand was a man with unusually keen eyesight, and from time to timo he would describe. to his leader the horses ridden by the enemy. "What manner of 9s horses do they ride "Black horses." "Then there is no need of haste." At the noon halt the asked, "What manner thay ride now?" "Bay horses." "Then we must ride harder." A few hours later the leader asked, 'Are they horsed again?" Thoy ride chestnuts." "Then we ride for our lives." leader again of horses do Old Hair Made Young.

Among the bright young men who wont into that contest was a young men recently out of West Point. e was one of the many poor young men who get appointments to the military academy and pass with creditable dis- tinction, and who are op the way to make good army officers. At West Point he met 4 girl, quite a usual thing for cadets at the mili- tary academy, as well as for midship- men at the naval academy. But this Romance i They became engaged i married when he returned from Cuba. | But he was killed in one of the "fights on that island, and was brought home and buried. His mother did not young lady n {home of his parents and told the story. The officer had a younger brother, a mere boy, who looked very much like him. The girl, who would have been a wife, became very much interested in the boy and ded the parents to allow her take charge of his education. She sent him to preparatory schools and established him at Harvard col loge, from where he is soon to grauu- ate. The young man spends his sum- mers at the home of this woman, who no longer is a girl, and who never married. She has made a will in favor of this young man, in which she also has provided amply for the care of his mother. Though the Spanish war is eleven yearstaway, the sentiment of this wo- man, who would have wedded the sol- dier, is as strong ae ever, and it is not likely that she cver will allow any man to come between her and the young man she met so long ago on the banke of the Hudson. His Condolence. London Express. Au English lord used io tell a story of a sheriff substitute he once knew slightly. Although man, the to was a very religious and he sheriff had his faults, I noticed a few insecti- | Mount Gurugna. Ii it is necessary 10 ne of these was that he had a habit of using strong language without re- alizing what his words implied. The sharifi"s best friend was the minister of the parish, and a great misfortune befell the reverend gentleman by the death of his wife. The sherifi wished to express his sympathy, but he found himself quite at a loss to know what to say. He sat'for a long "time scratcling his head and puzzling himself to know what he could say to the minister. At last he blurted out, "Well, minister, this is a d--l of a business.' Expels The Poisons. People who suffer from Sciatica, Neu- valgia and other ailments of a rhew matic nature say that if their muscles were being pulled to pieces with red hot pinchers the suffering could be no greater. The nerves affected awe in a state of acute inflammation, due to the presence of irritant poisons in the blood. Dr. Hall's Rheumatic Cure re- lieves these affections promptly and cares them permanently, because it neutralizes and expels the poison from the system. It is a certain cure and relief is usually given by the first few doses.- Dr. 'Hall's Rheumatic Cure is a_ great blood purifier and spring ton- ie. In bottles, 50c., at J. B.

Detroit News Tribune. A physician who has practised profession in Michigan over half century, believes that most of the deaths in this country atfributed to snake bite are really due to alcoholic isoning. "I have never attended such "a cese," he says, "without find- ing the patient drunk. Whiskey is giv- en in such large quantities that it is worse than the snake bite. The motl ern method is to give no alcohol. In- stead a series of bandages are tied above the wound, and these are re- moved one at a time at intervals. The virus thus gets into the circulation gradually. Local treatment to the pite is given to oxidize the poison." It Didn't Work. Philadelphia Times.
