From the Earliest Ages

To the present day, Scrofuia has been the bane,
and Is it were, the curse Of mankind. Before sci
enee had, been developed and man had made him
self acquainted with the great storehouse Of nature
there 10 find remedies for the healing Of the
world, this disease had its own way. So terrible
and loathsome had il been st some periods OF the
world history, that person known TO be infected
with il would not be allowed TO mix with society.
1t was then that the sins Of youth were punished IS
long as life lasted and often handed down to gene.
ratiors. Happily in cur day the disease Is stripped
OF its terror by the OF the Samar1tan's Root
and Herb Juices and the victim ofsyphis, serofua,
ulcers, Sores pnp,es, botches, letters, &c, can be
restored TO sound health In a few weeks. That
there are thousands now whose conditions are Is
bad as were those Of the dark ages we are well
aware Many now fail 10 find cure as well as they
did then To all such We will furnish the Samar-
itan's Root and Herb Juices free of charge, until
positive cure is affected. There is nothing more
unpleasant than to see a well formed face covered
with pimples, particularly when it can be SO easily
avoided. Persons awaiting themselves OF our oner

Editor Times:
DEAR SIR: Ia company with our County
Superintendent, the writer Of this article
attended the Second Annual Exclamation of
School District Nc. 3, Leavenwor,h county,
Kan, under the control OF Prof. W. II.
Bradshaw. His school was divided into
three departments Common School De-
partment, consisting of grades one and two !;
Intermediate Department, consisting Of
grades three and four; Primary Depart
men., consisting of grades five, six and
seven. The grading in the examination was
based upon scale of ten, and occupied two
days. The pupils manifested familiarity
with their studies seldom attained showing
conclusively that the labors Of Mr.. Brad
shaw have been eminently practical and
successful. 4 number of prizes were offered
by the teacher and patrons 10 the pupils In
the different departments. Three pupils
Lulu Henderson, Lizzie Lovelady and Nam
ME Copnell-cOmpetins for the frs: prize in
the Common School Department, made the
same grade, 81, and received the same
prizes; Edgar Henderson, same department,
made 8, and received the second prize.
Maggie Finley, in the intermediate Depart
meni, received the first prize on standing
of 0; Jack Connell the second, on standing
of 81. Sadie Spencer received the first prize
in the Primary Department on standing
of 8; Johnny James the second, on stand
ing OF 81. In addition TO these, Lizzie Love-
lady received prize fer best essay, and
Helen Daniels for best defamation.
The evenings entertainment consisted OF
defamation, essay and music by the pupils.
These exercises were well rendered, while
many of the thoughts expressed by the
essayis;s would have done credit TO older
heads.
After the exercises of the school, the audi
ence was addressed by HON.. p. Bauserman
and many of the patrons; the latter express
ing themselves highly pleased with the
attainments of their school.
After a few parting remarks by Mr.. Brad.
shaw the exercises closed; the patrons and
friends returning TO their homes evidently
we'll pleased with the entertainment and
their school; and well they may be.

AMERICA THE JEWS PALEsTINE.-The Je1cish
Messenger, announcing the Fast of Alb, the
" black fast in the Jewish calendar, observes I:
While not observed in this country as gener-
ally as formerly, it yet forms a prominent cere-
monial, and with many of our readers will be
vigorously kept this year. While it commence
rates other events in our history, its special fea-
ture is in remembrance Of the destruction of
Jerusalem and the subversion of our nationality,
and there are not few in Israel who mourn over
those historic events and pray for a restoration.
For such the past retains its olden influence. and
from night to night the conformist refrains from
food and drink, and spends hours in chanting
lamentations, and uttering the liturgical prayers
composed for the occasion. To them the fast has
a solemn significance, and the aspirations for a
return 10 Palestine and a revival of the Hebrew
kingdom are sincere and undying. The average
American Israelite views the fast in another light,
and regards little its Claims on his attention
Twenty years ago the dissenters were few in the
land. The ninth of Alb was solemnized as a
strict fast with hardly an exception, and it al
most equaled in Importance the great Day of
Atonement. Now how comparatively rare are
the instances of its strict observance So runs
the world. Our modern jew thinks little of
Palestine and it's ancient glory and as for res
~toration, the thought never enters his brain.
America is his Palestine. The future must take
care of itself"
