An Enjoyable Way to Take Tea.
There are people who get more oat of
life than others by a sort of philosophy
of contrast or change. The listener,
being invited to tea not long since, found
the table set under the apple trees just a

were several >.bildren seated about the
table, expressing by thelrdemnre manner
that it was not a novel thing at all. “Oh,

It was delightful to sit under the trees
that flecked the table cloth with moving
shadows and seemed ioadd new flavor to
the-simple food. The bouse stood back
from the street of course, and yet if it
bad been near tbe street there might
have been a great gain for tbe passerby
It wonld have given a touch of sociabil
ity to tbe street, like that so character
istir of the French, who eat in pnblic so
gracefully
It formed a sort of daily picnic, with
ont tbe toil-and bogs and depressing
aftereffects of thkt great American in-
ititutibn. It added charm and relish to
the meal, and made the summer more
distinctly a time for vacations and ont
of door impressions. It seemed a cus
tom that conld be profitably followed by
many snbnrlam dwellers and it wonld
be a distinct lengthening of the piny
time of midsummer.—Boston Transcript
Cam. Hack After Forty-onFears. .
A Missouri man left his wife and went
to Australia forty-one years ago, where
it was reported he died. A few days
ago, however, he unexpectedly returned
homo with a large fortune. There was
a joyous meeting between husband and
wife so long separated, bat once more
happily reunited. Strange to say, hit
wife had lived single nil these many
years with the dim hope of once more-
seeing her hnsband. They ore both quite
sged now,, being npward of seventy
years.—Exchange.

THE FIRST SYMPTOMS OP DEATH.
Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in
various parts of the body, sinking at the
pit of the stomaoh, loss of appetite,
feverishness, pimples or tores, are all
positive evidence of poisoned blood. No
matter how it became poisoned it moat
be purified to avoid death. Dr. Acker’s

that all could hear the dry, loud cough
and know Its significance; see the thin
white coating on tbe tongue, and later,
os the eold developed, see the profuse
watery expectoration and thin watery
discharge from tbe nose, not one of them
would ever forget what tbe first symp
toms of a cold were Tbe scholar should
then be given Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see-that
even a severe cold could be cured in one
or two days, or at least greatly miti
gated, when properly treated as soon as
tbe first symptoms appear. This remedy
is famous for it’s cures of coughs, oolds
