Tells Consumptives How He Got Well Tuberculosis is said to be curable by elmply living in the open air and taking an abundance of fresh eggs . and milk. Undoubtedly, some persons are benefited in this way; but the appropriate remedy for Consumption is Eekman's Alterative. Do all you possibly can to add to strength and increase weight, eat wholesome, nour isl'ing food, and breathe. the cleanest and purest air then, to the sensible things of right living, add the tonic and curative effects of Eckmin'g Alterative.

My physician, one of be leading practi tioners, said that it was lung trouble. 1 took eggs and milk in quantities, but I got very weak, and I kept on working in the store. The, doctors said I would not gain in weight' as ioug as I stayed. in the store,, but I kept on working, and prayed each day that I might get well. I Relieve my ' prtyers were answered, for Mr. C. A. Liippincott, my employer (Lippiucott & Co Department Store, .306 to 314 Market street, Wilmington,' Del.), had ;learned of a remedy called Eekman's Alterative that had done great good, .and upon his rec ommendation I begh Betaking it at once. This was about June, 10OS. I , continued faithfully,- using no other remedy, and Anally . noticed the clearing of the iungs, which appeared to be old chunks of blood coming up. I now have no trouble with my lungs. I firmly- believe' Eekman's Alterative saved my life. I sent my spit tle later to the State Board of Health to be examined for tuberculosis bacilli, and note were found. . . t . ' , "My mother died from Consumption when I was about two years old.

Footwear Indication of Character, As serts Swiss. Those who have hitherto been inter ested in analyzing the down at heel condition of a section of their fellow creatures may be pleased to bear that ) they-have been dabbling in. a science distinguished by the name of scarpol-.j ogy. of which Dr. Garrier of Basle, Switzerland, is the chief exponent. It is the art of knowing men and women by the examination of their footwear. .Criminal Investigators as well as oth ers who wish roV read character accu rately cannot afford to disregard scar pology, says the doctor. Given a pair of shoes worn by their owner for at least two months and he can tell the character, disposition and habits of the wearer. By careful practice' you may in a few minutes gauge a man at his worth simply by glancing at his feet .- . ; ;. Roughly speaking, the chief indica; tions of character lie in the manner and proportion in which the soles and the heels are worn put. Beware of the man who wears out the toe and the external edge of the sole simultaneous ly, says Dr. Garrier. He will almost invariably turn out a crook. It is up to the crooks now to disguise their feet. Wireless Spain's Storm Herald. The wireless telegraph is used in Spain to detect the approach of thun derstorms. ' Gfistipation Sure. IFrG9 With the first signs of constipa tion you resort to the home methods of relief, such as hot or cold water on arising, lots of stewed fruit with your breakfast, etc., but what do you do when these fail? The majority , then start on salts and purgative waters, then change to cathar tic pills, etc. , If you have gone through these various stages you know they were all useless, so far as permanent results go. Now you should try just once again, but try something practical and sensible, a remedy made and intended for the pur pose you are trying to accomplish. Such a remedy, as thousands can testify. Is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is guaranteed to be permanent in its re sults. Its ingredients are such that by a brief use of it the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to again do their work normally, so that in the end you can do away with medicines of all kinds.

AMAZING FEf.TS OF MEMORY. For Years the Pupils Are Kept "Get ting by Heart Books of Which They Have No Understanding, After Which Comes the Explanation. A Chinese schoolboy sets off one fine morning when seven or eight years old to enter on his instructional course. He makes the most profound obeisance to his teacher. His parents provide the table at which and the stool on which he sits. Ttey also supply the four precious articles," the ink slab, the ink cake, the pen or brush for writ ing and the paper. . He will have no need at first of the writing materials, ail his time being employed in memorizing the books given him. Perhaps a dozen boys, each a class by himself, are busy on his entry. Each is shouting his task at the top of his voice, the teacher sitting at his table in all the som nolent wakefulness of a judge. No wrong pronunciation or Intonation es capes his practiced ear, and correc tion is frequent. It is a simple country house,, with its earthen floor, its unglazed windows and its air of utter poverty. Our young hopeful, says the National Re view, in due time is introduced to the Trimetrical Classic" and the ques-. tionable statement, which forms its very threshold, that "men at birth are radically good,' so set in classical form that be baa no more idea of Its meaning than if It were In Greek. It Is not meaning, however, that is the object just now. but sound and mem orizing. Then he will be introduced to the book of surnames. 400 in number, as another exercise in "getting by heart." after which in parts of the land the "Thousand Character Classic" is set This is a book consisting of the num ber of characters named. , no one. of which ' is ever used twice. .-Still, no' ex planation is vouchsafed. For all the learning our youth is gaining he might with equal profit, memorize a number of auction catalogues. He is given in varying order, according; to the custom followed by his teacher, the four sacred books the "Great - Learning." also known as "The Door of Virtue:" the Analects" of Confucius, the "Doctrine of the Mean" and the "Book of ;Men- As early as thirteen, it may be. he will have done the memory work of the four books and be capable of reel ing off "yards, rods, fnrlongs or miles" of learning Then enlightenment in the form of explanation begins.: Dark ness is made visible, and education may be said to have begun. There is wearisome work in sight now. As if the books themselves were not of sufficient difficulty, there are end less Tommentaries after Ihe fashion of our own on the Bible or Shakespeare The "Great Learning" provides illus trations of virtue, aims at the constant renewal of good and so at the attain ment of the highest excellence. Its ideal is a righteous government over a tranquil and happy people. The "Doc trine of the Mean" is more strictly in dividualistic. Correct conduct in every stage of life is its subject. The chief competitive examinations are three in number. The first, for the Situsai. or B. A. degree, is held at the prefectural city; the second, the Ku-jen. or M. A., at the provincial capital, and the third, the Tsin-shi. or LL. D.. at Peking. In one or other of these the clever youth whose ca reer we are following may possibly .find himself in a peculiar position as competitor with his own father or even his grandfather, who. with more per severance than luck or brains, keeps "pegging away" year after year till success arrives or death. Many are . the attempts , at trickery, cribbing, bribery or whatever may bring the candidate sufficiently near the top to be one of the favored few who "pass," the percentage of these being fractionally small at times. To guard against fraud there are pre cautions such as could never have been suggested in the west Every caudidate has his own little cell in which he works during the days of the examination. Not a few die under the ordeal. "Any essay is good which gives a man his M. A-" says the proverb, and "if one comes out first on the dragon list there Is a chance within ten years of being in the Phoe nix pool." which being Interpreted means that he who heads the M. A. list is likely by and by to become a Hanlin. So. indeed, it happens to our young hopeful now arrived at years of much discretion. He even becomes the Shnang Yuan of his year, the laureate or senior classic, as be might be named in the west. Whereupon on his return to his na tive province he is received with the highest honors from the highest peo ple, the viceroy leading, and then a curious thing happens. Many of the people of the province having the same surname apply for the honor of being permitted to worship at the ancestral hall of the successful genius and ac company their appeals with valuable persuasives. They thus establish a claim to relationship with the ami able desire of having a friend at court. New York Sun. When a man is no longer anxious to do better than well he is done for. B. B, Haydon.
