THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1893.
IMPRESSION OE MATIN.
The Thames nocturne of bine and gold.
Changed to a harmony in gray;
A barge with ocher colored hay
Dropped from the wharf, and chJU and
cold
The yellow fog came creeping down
The bridges, till the house's walls
Were changed to shallows, and St. Paul's
Loomed like a bubble o’er the town.
Then suddenly across the clang
Of waking life, the street# were stirred
With country wugonx, and a bird
Flew to the glistening roofs and sung.
Hut one pale woman, all alone.
The daylight kissing her wan hair.
Loitered beneath the gaslatup's flare.
With lips of flame nnd heart of stone.
-Oscar Wilde in National Review.

It builds them up. It’s a powerful,
restorative tonic, or strength-giver
—free from alcohol and injurious
drugs. Tho entire system is re

S roves digestion, enriches the blood,
ispels aches and pains, gives re
freshing sleep, and restores flesh and
strength. As a soothing nervine, it
allays and subdues hysteria, spasms,
and all tho nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional
and organic disease. It’s the only
guaranteed medicine for women.
It does what is promised — or it
asks nothing. It gives satisfaction,
in every case, or tho money paid
for it is refunded.
That’s the way its makers prove
their faith in it. Contains no alco
hol to inebriate ; no syrnp or sugar
to derange digestion; a legitimate
medicine, not a beverage. Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of tbo system.
This is the wap

After two or three weeks’

How tho Pyramids W*-r« Hu I It.
A moneyed mini, who was looking at
the process of laying an artificial stole
pavement in front of one of his ninny
properties, startled the friends who wer-
standing about him by remarking, “I
believe that the Egyptian pyramids were
built in just that way.” Pressed for an
explanation, ho said that while he hail
never been in Egypt he hail read the
works of all Egyptologists, including
Bnigsch nnd I’iazzi Smyth, and hac
lever found in any of them a theory
which would satisfactorily account for
the manner in which the pyramids were
constructed.
“Now,” he said, "you mnst remember
that the pyramids are built of stont
which bears no resemblance to anything
found within 500 miles of their location.
It is incredible that the Egyptians of
four or five thousand years ago should
have possessed the mechanical ingenuity
to move these enormous blocks of stone
from the granite quarries of Abyssinia
or Syria to the pyramids. Is it not much
more natural to suppose that the ancient
Egyptians possessed the secret of milk
ing artificial stone, nnd that the pyra
mids were constructed by layer upon
layer of Nile river mud, hardened by
just such processes os we employ to
make artificial stone?
It is u much more plausible explana
tion of tbeir construction than the la
borious and unintelligent suppositions
that the stones were carried across the
desert to form the foundation and base
ot the pyramids. I firmly believe that
the Egyptians of the ante-Christian era
understood the manufacture of artificial
stone, and that they bnilt the pyramids
on: of it,”—Philadelphia Press.
Lake Winnipeg Wolve.,
In the winter of 1890 deer were unusu
ally scarce in the forests east of Lake
Winnipeg. A wet, cold summer had de
stroyed an uncommonly large proportion
of fawns. Consequently, wolves were
without their accustomed food supply.
Their distress made them forget their
fear of human beings.
One morning in January news reached
Winnipeg City that a band numbering
100 wolves had slain many Indian hunt
ers along the east shore. This turned
out to be true.
Several of the men were caught on
foot. One climbed a tree and shot
twenty wolves. Another dabbed a dozen
to death before they pulled him down.
One hhnter mounted a platform erected
on poles for the purpose of keeping skins
abovvthi reach of wild beasts arid-ver
min. He had hardly begun firing when
‘ aped nliont the
hat they threw
dofi tlieplitfonu and tore the man to
id visited other
y Indians in all were
devoured coaid not be exactly ascer
tained, ah more than one hunting party
at said to have been completely wiped

■ J : Why Girls Ara TalL
Why are there to many toll girls now
adays, and why is the tendency of the new
generation toward nnnsnal height and
gracious slimness? Women are tall and
becoming tall simply because it is the
fashion, and that statement never needs
nor iscapable of any explanation. Awhile
ago it was the fashion to be petite and
arch; It is now the fashion to be tall and
gracious, and nothing more can be said
about it Of course the reader, who is
usually incliued to find the facetious side
of any grave topic, baa already thought
at the application of the self denying
hymn, that wan wants little here below,
and wants that little long; but this may
be only a passing sigh of the period.—
Charles Dudley Warner in Harper's
Weekly.
Oh, Tk.so Honest Llttl. Follows.
Eddie was very fond of raspberry jam.
One evening when the parson dropped
into tea mamma opened her last jar,
with emphatic instructions to Eddie not
to ask for some more jam after getting
his share. His papa, not knowing the
circumstances, offered to replenish his
dish, when Eddie mortified his mother
by saying,'“Mamma said 1 musn’t ask
for any more, ’cause that is all there is.”
A St. Louis physician recalls the case
of a young man who had been dumb for
five years, but who, while out hunting
one day, began, in the excitement of the
chase, to yell at the top of hislnngs.
Afterward he was able to speak with
perfect articulation.
When Julius Cawar fell, as he was
landing on the African coast, he is re
ported to hare said, to banish the fears
of his soldiers, who accepted the occur
rence as one of ill omen, “Land of
Africa, I take possession of tbeel”
That compositor was something of a
humorist in his way who set np the
title of Maurice Thompson’s pretty syl
van poem, “Pan in the Orchard,” as
'Pain in the Orchard;” but the associa
tion of ideas was serious.
The ancient Oreeks and Romans had
their beds supported on frames, bat
