An Knipres*' Feu, I heard an Interesting fact regarding • the former empress of the French the other night which shows in what direc tion her thoughts run. Whenever she has occasion to write anything about her lamented husband, she always uses the diamond pen which signed the i treaty of Paris. All those who partici- , pated in this historical occasion wanted the pen as a memento. But so keen was 1 the empress on possessing it that she ! begged that only one pen should be used, which uh. thought she had a right to retain a- u souvenir. This was ' agreed to. The pen takes the form of a | quill plucked from a golden eagle’s , wing and richly mounted with dia monds and gold.—Woman's Life I The C'olllen iird Amen. I once witnessed a phase of prompt evolution of practical and of devotional 1 religion in Scotch sheepdogs on a com munion Sabbath among the mountains. ' The churchyard was crowded with shepherds, accompanied by their dogs, which lay quietly asleep at the feet of their masters. The sermon was finished, the psalm had been sung, the final prayer was being offered, and there was no sign of impatience, but the moment the benediction commenced the devo tional doggies all roused themselves, and before the “Amen" they were in marching order.—“ Newman Hall," an Autobiography.

I must not go there unprepared. John, go to the restaurant and bring me two beefsteaks with onions.”- —London Tit- Bits.

I was a youngster, and had wandered into a resort called El Dorado, at which all sorts of games were in pro gress, and on the tables were piled up huge slacks of gold and silver coin.

A majority of the ills afflicting people today is traceable to kidney trouble. It pervades all classes of society, in all cli mates, regardless of age, sex or condition.

Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois oned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will rdsult in Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous form of kid ney trouble.
