out of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, and
was unable to walk. For eight years

attended me for three years, and doctor
here at Huntingdon worked with me for

A Determined Woman.

Tho Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette re-
lates this episode, which may help to
explain why Massachusetts men don't
care to marry Massachusetts women:
A woman with "I-oan-manage-my-own-
affairs" look on her countenance
stepped into the baygage-room at the
Boston a. Maine Station yesterday after
noon, holding good-sized bandbox in
her hand. "Say, do you suppose you
can send that box by the baggage-car
to Newburyport without tearing it all
to pieces?" she remarked to the as
sistant baggage master. "Yes, num-"
was the reply. 'Well, that box con-
tains my bonnet, and don't you dare
to hurt it. The Boston e. Maine ought
to send a man ON the train to hold
these small bundles and keep
them from getting damaged; the road
is rich enough. But, mind you, if you
break that box I'll smash the whole
railroad from here to Newburyport-"
And with this parting injunction she
walked away.

this must have often occurred to the
Charles A. Vogeler Co., of Baltimore.
Last year in London, Eng, an unscrupu-
lous dealer sought to place a So called "St.

Of the great popularity of the Vogeler
Co.'s "St. Jacobs" Oil. Thanks to En-
glish law, the hig court Of justice prompt
ly issued perpetual injunction against
the defendant and imposed heavy dam
ages. Some years ago the U. S. Court at
Cleveland, o., in a similar case awarded
this Baltimore house $1,000 damages. The
Charles A. Vogeler Co. has again been
called upon TO defend its rights end has
recently instituted suit in the Circuit
Court of Baltimore city for injunction and

the marvellous efficacy of "St Jacobs

President Porter, In his recent ad-
dress on preparatory schools, said that
in America whatever uniformity there
is between college and preparatory
school methods is mainly fostered and
promoted by the fact that the teachers
in the preparatory schools are generally
college graduates, and so bring with
them the college methods. He be-
lieved that there ought to be differ
ence between the quality and quantity
of studies for those high-school pupils
whose education is TO end in these in
stitutions and those who are to enter
the preparatory schools and colleges.
A boy who could 60 no further than

classes of that school to be taught
