For thirty wears there has been no i'm
provemcnt In the composition OF porous
plaster. The recent discovery of Cap
cine and Its addition to an improved po-
rous plaster has introduced to the con-
sumers and the public, an article of pro-
Qress. The objection to the ordinary ar
ticle Is its slow action. Benson's Capcine
Porous Plaster overcOmes this great OBJ
lection by effccting In few hours what
the ordinary porous plaster accomplishes
in DAYS and weeks Of continuous wear.
Benson's Capcinc Porous Plasters are
preferred to all others on the following
grounds:
First heir composition is OF an i'm.
proved nature and combined
with the recently discovered veg
etable neutrality-suspicious. which
as q powerful and unerring spe-
ciflc. has never been equalcd in
the history Of true medicine.
They operate with astonishing
vigor, bring almost immediate
relief. and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than
any known plaster, IMMINENT OF
compound.
Second-'rhey possess all the merit oil
the ordinary porous plaster with
above addition. and will cure all
the various difficulties for which
they have been esteemed III a
many hours as the ordinary arti-
Gle effects In days and weeks OF
continuous wear.

An interesting school question has been
decided by the Vermont supreme court on
appeal from the decision OF subordinate
court 1t may be remembered that many
children OF Catholic parentage, in violation
Of a rule Of public school at Brattleboro',
absented themselves on Corpus Christi day,
That on a previous ''day of obligation" OF the
church they bad similarly absented them
selves; that on the second occasion they had
requested to be excused from attendance,
but were denied; and that, In consequence
of their nom attendance, they were expelled
from school. A motion was entered to re-
strain the school board from carrying the
order into effect, but the court dismissed il,
and its decision has just been sustained by
1he supreme court, on the ground that the
rule was within the legal power of the school
board TO make; that requiring the children
10 attend on that day, and refusing TO excuse
1hem, was not such an interference with the
freedom of conscience as to make the rule In
conflict with the Constitution; that the hold
Ing OF a session OF the scnOol on that day was
not any more illegal than it would be to hold
a town meeting On that day; that the school
laws, as well as this rule, are made for all
persons, and as IL did not conflict with the
Constitution, the rule was legal and Of bind

There are those who profess to believe that
The invention OF gunpowder and modern
weapons OF war has tended to make men
cowardly. They contend that in the "good
old times" when armies met in mortal COM
bat, and fought with clubs, knives and other
murderous weapons, men displayed a brav-
cry and heroism far above that exhibited in
1he long range system of modern warfare.
BE this as IL may, there are occasional ex-
ceptions to the rule. Two brave gladiators
met in Jersey City q few nights ago and
had Q and-to-hand contest with sheath
knives; and with such skill did they WELD
zhem that both were fatally injured. This is
q cheerful Indication that there is some OF
7he fearless bravery OF the ancients left in
1he world yet.
