There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
' as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatisn. or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for. 'A sprain may be
promptly treated before infiamation sets
in, which insures a care in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and braises should receive im
mediate treatment before the parts be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured, before it be
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cared and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re
lieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro
cure a 50 cent bottle at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley

NAPOLEON FOND OF HOMER.
He Thought the Poet Was the Encyclo
pedia of His Time.
The emperor, 6ays Figaro, admired
Homer in every wsy, and thus ex
pressed himself .on the subject:
"The Iliad, as much as Genesis and
the Bible, is the sign and token of its
time. Homer in his work is poet, or-c
tor, legislator, geographer and theo
logian; he is the encyclopedistof his
time. Homer is inimitable. Father
Hardouin had the temerity to impugn
this sacred monument of antiquity
and to attribute it to a monk of the
tenth century, an impertinent imbe
cility. Never have I been struck with
his beauties as now (1816), and the sen
sations which he aroused in me confirm
the justjee of the approbation accorded
to him by the whole world. What
strikes mer especially in reading the
pages of his work is the grossness of
the customs as compared with the ele
vation of the thought of the epoch.' We
see heroes killing their own beef, pre
paring it with their own hands, and
yet pronouncing discourses of rare elo
quence and worthy of a high civiliza
tion. In the Odyssey I greatly disap-.
prove of the combat of Isus against
Ulysses on the threshold of his own
palace, both disguised as beggars. I
consider this episode wretched,- coarse,
unbecoming and nnworty of a king.
And then, after having eliminated
everything that I find objectionable, I
feel what still affects me, I put myself
in his place, I am seized with the fear
of being beaten by a common fellow.
It is not given to every prince, to every
general, to have the shoulders of his
guards or of his grenadiers, to convert
himself into a street porter at will.
"The'good Homer remedies all this
by making his heroes so many collosi;
but this is not the case with us. What
chance would we have if we still lived
in the happy days in which physical
strength was the real scepter? It would
come to this, that Noverras, my valet,
who waits upon us, would be king over
us all. We must agree, then, that civ
ilization does everything for the mind,
and favors it exclusively at the expense
of the body."
ANNOUNCING A KING'S DEATH.
How the News Was Spread That Victoria
Was Queen.
Some quaint and delightful glimpses
of '-Old Windsor" are given by Lady
Elvey in her "Life and Reminiscences
of G. J. Elvey, Knt." Here, for in
stance, is an announcement of the
death of King William, which probably
is a unique delivery by one of the men
to whose lot it has fallen "to tell sad
stories of the death of kings:"
Roach, the belfry keeper, says
the Westminster Gazette, seems to
have received a broadhint that the king
was near his end, and waited about
until he received the news that all
was over, when with haste he repaired
to the deanery, arousing the inmates
by ringing the bell at the cloister en
trance with all his might and main. It
was useless for the butler to ask him,
"What do you want here at this time of
night?" -His business was with the
dean and no one else. This distin
guished person, aroused from his slum
bers and clad, not in his surplice, but
in another, garment which should be
"always white," called from the top of
the stairs: "What is the matter. Roach?"
"Billy be dead. Be I to ring the bell?"
"What Billy?" "The king, to be sure."
"Oh, yes, Roach; you may toll the bell."
Thus was the news spread that the
king was dead, and that the young
Princess Victoria was queen.
STAIRS IN SAMOA.
How a Little Islander Carried W ater to a
Second-Story Boom.
In Samoa, where he makes his home,
Robert Louis Stevenson has done much
in the way of instructing the natives
in European methods of work. He
tells an amusing story in this connec
tion. A new house boy had been en
gaged, and on his arrival was lost in
awe and admiration of the magnifi
cence of the mansion.
He was given a large bucket of wa
ter and told to take it to the bedroom
up above. He looked np and, point
ing, asked if it was there. On being
answered in the affirmative, he seized
the bucket in his teeth, and before
anyone could remonstrate he had
rushed up one of the posts of the
veranda. The whole family ran up the
staircase, and when they showed him
that that was the usual method of get
ting to these rooms, he was overpow
ered with delight, and for two or three
days could do absolutely nothing but
race up and downstairs, chuckling
and crowing in an ecstasy of joy. And
when detachments of his friends came
to visit him they were always taken to
see the stairs the first thing.
A Diverting Decision.
The mayor of Folkestone, England, is
also a committing magistrate, and some
years ago, when Mr. Baker occupied
that responsible position, his decisions
were always honest, but highly divert
ing. One day a boy was brought be
fore his honor on the charge of steal
ing gooseberries. ' Baker turned over
the pages of Burns' "Justice," but not
being able so find the article he want
ed in the book, which is alphabetical
ly arranged, he lifted up his spectacles
and addressed the culprit thus: "My
lad, it's very lucky for you that, in
stead or stealing gooseberries, you were
not brought here for stealing a goose.
There is a statute against stealing
geese, but I can't find anything about
gooseberries in this book. So, let the
prisoner be discharged, for I suppose it
is no offense." .And so the culprit es
caped to his joy and the extreme delight
of the audience. '
Unmanned His Opponent.
Dramatic effects are hazardous agen
cies to use, as it is not impossible to
spoil them by an anti-climax as a
member of the English parliament
found when, at the close of a fiery ad
juration to the government to declare
war, he cried out: '.'Unsheath the
sword!" and, drawing a dagger, threw
it on the floor. "Ah!", coolly said an
opponent; "there is the knife, but
where is the fork?" A shout of laugh
ter was the result. -
