Two bright and happy hours thnt passed as

Lulled by thy silvery convert -, i' i begun
And never ended. Thou dost 'ch to me

Hearee altering in their round of happiness.
And quiet thoughts, and toils that do not kiH,
And homely pastimes. Though the old distress

By mo at least thou shalt be loved and hen :•<!.

PECULIARLY MADE.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are made of refined and
concentrated botanical ex-
tracts. They're different
from the largo old-fashion-
ed pills for these Pellets are
as tiny as mustard seeds,
and are sugar-coated.
,They're made in an im-
proved chemical labora-
tory under the direct supervision of scientific
men. Everything else being equal, the small-
er the size of a liver pill, the more comfort.
They do not shock the system, but regulate,
cleanse and tone up, the liver, stomach, ana
bowels, in nature'» own way.
They're put up in sealed glass vials, easily

The Moon as We See It.
Did yon ever stop to consider the fact, j
that the inhabitants of this earth hu\ e '
never seen but one side of tho inoon, an
to inquire the reasons why such is the
case? The explanation is this; The moon
makes one revolution on her axis in the
,<ame period of time that she takes up in
revolving once around the earth, thus
the same geographical region of the lunar
surface is always toward us. As one ex-
planation usually calls for another, it
may not be out of place to mention the
fact that the reasons the two motions of
the moon above referred to so nearly
coincide are these:
The moon is not a true globe, but is
very elliptical in form. It did not in all
probabilities orginally start on its axial
rotation with precisely the same velocity
with which it moved around the earth,
but the very best astronomers say that
the two motions were not far apart in
the start Assuming that the moon was
semi-liquid or at least soft in those re-
mote days, the earth's attraction caused
the lunar surface to elongate, and in the
untold ages which followed its axial ro-
tation, owingio tho attractive influence
of both the earth and the sun, waa made
to correspond with its orbital movement
around the earth.—St. Louis Republic.
Old Time Hanking Method*.
While discussing tho matter of the
troubles and trials of banking business
of today President James Espy of tho
Ohio Valley National bank said to a
group of friends: "I tell you that we do
not know anything about the peculiari-
ties of the banking business. I have
heard officials of the bank when I was be-
ginning in the business rehearse the expe-
riences in early banking in Virginia. As
is well known, the residents of that stat e
were not much given to business tactics.
Whenever they had occasion to issue a
note, and it was quite frequent, the bank
officials had to drive around to the vari-
ous farms, or to the place where the
maker lived, and it was quite difficult to
get them to sign the original, but much
more so a renewal. Experts got so they
could tell whether the note was renewed
in the house or in the field, as they could
tell whether it waa written on tho pom-
mel of a saddle or at a regular desk."—
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Why He Didn't Shoot.
A man with a wife who has her own
ways about doing things catches her
now and then.
"My dear," he said the other morning
as he was dressing, "I think you wero
right when you told me last night that
there were burglars in the house."
"Why?" she askod nervously.
"Because all tho money that was in
my pockets when I went to bed is gone."
"Well," she said, with an I-told-you
so air, "if you had been brave and got
up and shot the wretch, yon would have
had your money this morning."
"Possibly, my dear, poSsibly," he said
gingerly, "but I would have been a
widower."
She laughed softly then and gavo
half of it back to him.—London Tit-
Bits.
The Whittling Tree.
A species of acacia, which grow* very
abundantly in Nubia and the Soudan, is
also called the "whistling tree" by tho
tiatives. Its shoots are frequently, by
tho agency of tho larvae of insects, dis-
torted in shape and swollen into a globu-
lar bladder from 1 to 2 inches in diame-
ter. After the insect lias emerged from
a circular hole in tho side of this swell-
ing, the opening, played upon by the
wind, becomes a musical instrument
nearly equal in sonnd to a sweet tone*1
