While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some BSmBWmM m mjMJUMMj peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, m mmm Cancer, Rhevmalisin, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by pgS0ff9MG MmGGKGm a certain sore, nicer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. Every blood . disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least rrtfctance. Iilanv mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other esterrul applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. ELGG3 FfiQ&DLES RZQISSRE BLOOD REMEDIES; the poison must be completely and perma nently eradicated the blood reinforced, purified and cleansed, or the disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small doses never cure, but do much harm by adding another poison to the already overburdened, diseased blood. S. S.

Mr. Thomas Brenan, one of the trus tees of the Chicago public schools, who has for more than thirty years been a careful observer of educational meth ods and their results, brings a serious charge against the schools of that city. He declares that the avarage country boy coming in from the backwoode,is more valuable to the business man than the boy graduate from the Chicago schools. The reason asigned for the alleged sup erior value of the boy from the coun try will be interesing to the parents of children at school and to those who are charged with the reeponsibllty of arranging and carrying out the course of study. The reason Is that the "amount ot time spent in the public schools upon studies that are not es sential is fully as great as that given to reading, writing and arithmetic. They have tried to make everything of the school boy, and they have prevented him from becoming anything." That Is, perhaps, too strong a state ment of the case, but there is undoubt edly a good deal of truth in it. Al though the tendency to overload' the pupils and to reduce the time devoted to the rudimentary and Indispensable branches have been apparent In both urban and rural sections, it has been far more pronounced in the former than In the latter. Other things be ing equal, the city boy ought to be more useful and succesful in business in a city than his cousin from the country. The city schools are kept in operation for a longer period each year than those in the country. Cities af- brd many facilities for intelectual and moral improvement that are impossi ble in the agricultural regions. And if it is suggested that the city boy is more exposed to temptation than the boy on the farm, the suggestion is but another reason why the former ought to be worth more than the latter In al most any department ot business. The school graduate fresh from the country has before him temptations to evil which have faced the city boy ever since he emerged form cradlehood. Of the two the city graduate and the graduate from the backwoods the lat ter is far more likely to fail a vlotim to the lures of vice In town. The overcrowding oraze, the attempt to cram the minds of school children with an infinite variety of knowledge and the consequent neglect to teach them to read well, to write good En- llah in a good hand and to give them a thorough arithmetical training, ap pears to have subsided. That is cer tainly the case in this city. Have you a ssnse of fullness in the region of your stomach after eating? If so you will be benefited by using Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab lets.

"One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in 8tock,"8ays Mr. C. R. Grandin, the popular druggst of Ontario, N. Y."She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could rec ommend. I said to her that 1 could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course ot a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I con sider that a very good recommendation for the remedy." The remedy owes its great popularity and extensive sale in a large measure to the personal rec ommendations of people who have been cured by its use. It is for sale by E. T. Whitehead & Co.

I know a funny little boy Tbe funniest ever born : His face is like a beam of joy Although his clothes are torn. 1 saw him tumble on his nose, And waited for a groan But how he laughed I Do you suppose xe struck His funny bone? There's sunshine In each word be speaks. His laugh is something grand ; Its ripples over "ran his cheeks Like waves on snowy sand. He laughs tbe moment he awakes. And till the dnv ia done : Th schoolroom for a joke he takes xdb lessons are out lun. No matter how the day may go, You" cannot make him cry ; He's worth a dozen boys, I know, Who pout and mope and sigh. wide Awake.

A lady gave us a rule, not Ions since, by which she bad succeeded in inter esting her lively, fun loving boys, so they pieferred to remain at home even ings instead of seeking amusement else where. She paid, "I remember that childreu are children, aiul must tiavo amuse ments: I fear taut the abhorrence witn which some good parents regard any play for children is tbe reason why children go feway for pleasure. Hus band and 1 used to read history, and at the end ol each chapter ask soice questions, requiring the answer to be looked up if not given correctly. We follow a similar plan with the child ren jsometimes we pla; one game, and sometimes another, always planniog with books, stories, plays, or treats of some kind, to make the eyenings at home moie attractive than they can be made abroad. I should dislike to think that any oue could make my children happier than I can, so I always try to be at leisure in the evening, and to arrange something entertaining. "When there 19 a good concert, lec ture, or entertainment, we all go to gether and enjoy it ; and whatever is worth the price of admission to us old er people, is equally valuable to tbe children, and we let them see that we spare no expense where It is to their advantage to be out of an evening. "But the greater number of our evenings are epeut quietly at home. Sometimes it requires quue an effort to sit quietly talking and playing with them when my work-basket Is filled with unfinished work, and books and papers lie unread on tbe table ; but as the years go by, and 1 see my boys and girls growing into home-loving, mod est young men and maidens, I am glad that I made It my Tule to glye the best of myself to my family." There Art No More Self-Made lien. "From the highest home to the low est In America this Idea of castle has entered, destroying our old high, ideals and making us pretentious and vul gar," writes "An American Mother,"of "How we Lead a Simple Life," In the October Ladies' Home Journal. "Tbe idle rich man covets high soslal place with a hunger that is both ridiculous and tragic. If he has money enough he buys a titled busband for his daugh ter. He tries to establish a precedence for himself over his neighbors by claims of high descent. Nor is this apprecia tion of rank confined to the leisured class In this country. It is universal. No candidate for office finds it neces sary now to pose as a self-made man or to put his respectable ancestors out of sight. The self-made man is no longer the popular hero. On the contrary, noble ancestors are in such demand that tf we do not haye them we invent them as we do air-brakes or motors, or anything else necceesary to our well-being and comfort. The rich American finds it easy to have a coat-of-arms and a pedigree as to have a dress-coat. He seldom goes to Burke or the Heralds' College for these things. He plants and grows his own family tree as he does his maple at tbe front door."
