CURIOGS LORE. Interesting Information Gleaned by Bookworm.

A river of genuine ink is one of the natural curiosities in Algeria, It is formed by the junction of two streams, one flowing from a region of ferrugin- ous soil, the other draining a large ter- ritory of peat soil combining the two substances, gallic acid and iron, and producing an excellent quality of ink.

The river Ganges is noted for the mysterious virtue of its waters, which is considered so sacred that Hindoos sarry it to remote parts of the earth, and in a court of justice in strange countries, insist on being sworn by it, as Christians use the Bibbe, to ratify an oath. At the City of Benares, on the banks of the Ganges, thousands of pil- grims assemble to bathe away their sins in the miraculous water. Asa product ‘of nature, the Ganges is a wonderful stream. It finds its source in the Himalaya Mountains, the water flowing out of a cave of ice at the bot- tom ofa glacier. Its length is 1,500 miles, and fifteen miles from the sea the delta of the Ganges begins, by the river separating into two parts. Be- tween the different sections are numer- ous islands called Sunderbunds, which are covered with rank and poisonous vegetation known as jungle, where no one can exist, so unhealthy is the air. Yet in spite of this the water flowing through that district where the atmos- phere is rank with fever, is valued highly on account of its rare medicinal qualities.

Another noted and historic riyer is the Jordan, which is considered sacred on account of the baptism of Christ in its waters. It isto Palestine what the Nile is to Egypt. Its natural pheno- mena are its annual rise and rapid descent. It is also noted for its serpen- tine course, which measures in actual distance 200 miles, although straight across it is but sixty miles in length. The Jordan is below the level of the ocean, and the Dead Sea, into which it empties, isa mile below the surface of the Mediterranean. There are twenty-seven rapids in its course, and from the Dead Sea to Lake Tiberias it has a fall of ten hundred and fifty feet. Its high banks are covered with a dense growth of tamarisks and willows, as if to seclude its sacred waters from pry- ing eyes. A sight to be remembered by those who have seen it, is the assem- bling of pilgrims—often to the number of eight or nine thousand—who come from Jerusalem under a guard of Turk- ish soldiers to bathe in the waters of the Jordan. They are pilgrims of the Greek church.

What | Religton Does.

It isa mistake to suppose that re- ligion is designed to eliminate pleasure from life. Quite the contrary is true. It does inculcate thoughts and prin- ciples of a serious and important nature. But in doing so it promotes pleasure of the choicest and most en- during variety. It brings more worldly amusement under due limitation, and employs it chiefly asa relaxation of life, Religion brings its own pleasure with it. Extirpating nothing innocent, it makes innocence itself a bliss. Dis- couraging nothing cheerful, it renders cheerfulness itself a common habit by grafting into the heart something to be cheerful over. It regulates the intel- lectual machinery, gives poise to thought, symmetry to plans, and har- mony to purposes. It enthrones spirit- ual good asthe law of life, and imparts qualities of richness, sweetness and joy to right actions and helpful words. It promotes longevity by inculcating tem- perate nabits and proper care of all the physical organs and powers. It im- parts correct and healthful views of our earthly existence by teaching that every creature of God is good, and nothing to be despised, and that it is the privilege of all believers to use this world as not abusing it. It is the normal condition of complete beings. Sin gives no real advantage to anyone. but holiness does. Sin destroys. It mars perfection. It clogs aspiration. It cripples endeavor. Holiness up- builds. It engenders completeness. It fans legitimate ardor. It crowns all laudable effort with true success. Paul embodied common sense and true phil- osophy in his beautiful statement that “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come,”

Bought His Own Statue.

There was grief in a Chicago house- hald one day when a careless servant allowed a piece of valuable statuary to falland break in a dozen pieces. The girl had a good cry and offered to pay for the marble, but that was out of the question. The man servant, who was also coachman and landscape gardener, was instructed to take the fragments of the art treasure and dispose of them.

1t happened that he knew a thing or two, Instead of dumping the pieces into an ash barrel he took them to a re- pair shop, where they were carefully glued together by an expert workman. When the job was completed the ser- vant took the marble to a*dealer in antiquities and objects of art, explain- ed how he came into possession of it and received an equivalent of two weeks’ wages above the cost of repairs. Some weeks later the original owner came upon the marble in the show window. He could hardly beiieve his senses, as he had bought his marble as an original, and here was ‘another original. He went into the shop and priced the figure.

“That’s very cheap,” he remarked. = must explain to you,” said the deal-

r, ‘that it has been broken and re- said, He pointed out the faint lines showing where the pieces had been joined, and then the former owner re- cognized his property. He couldn't claim it, as he had once ordered it thrown away. Neither could he accuse the servant of theft. He bought the marble and took it home with him, and the man servant nearly fainted when he saw it in its old place on the mantel,

Ceunterfelits

A few years ago agreat discovery was made.

Ueprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adoptee by imitat- ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shaye of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell them by count.

Second—To put them up to appearfvery neaily the same and to be offered at the same price.

Third—To hook on the work “ “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiy- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for sneh dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the best. And oughe not io be the subject for any trick,

So beware.

When we go out to meet trouble we never have a long walk.

All that the cons sumptive patient needs is new blood with which to battle against the destructive forces of the disease, Millei’s Emulsion provides new blood in abundance. It is a combination of Norwegian Oil and hypophosphites of lime and soda—a triumph of science.

A HEAVY _MORTCACE.

How a seit farmer quickly lifted it.

A mortgage has been described as an incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage, as asure signo ruin. The last is particy- larly true, oe if a mortgage is allowed to run it will eat up the farm. In this con- nection Mr, Henry Fowler, of Huron writes: “ From my boyhood scrofula had marked me for a victim and it seemed as if it had a life mortgage on my blood, I suffered fearfully with sores, and know- ing my condition I have remained a sin le man. Doctor after doctor prescribed for me, and finally a Toronto specialist told me bluntly that my complaint was a deep-seated, incurable, blood disease. §arsaparilja I knew was a good blood medicine, and I sent for a bottle of the best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me Scott’s Sarsaparilla,and | have stuck to it. It has lifted my mortgage, for to-day J] am free from thos: horrible sores, my eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not furry, and I have n» irritation, I logk upon Scott's Sarsaparilla as a marvellous medicine when it will cure a life long disease in so short a time.’
