Philadelphia Record. 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.

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. - A5rMexican ..: ; Mustang Liniment for Bums, Caked & Inflamed Udders.
