RHEUMATISM.
One author says "Rheumatism
is due to the presence in the blood
of a vegetable organism of definite
characters"
Another says ut is due to the
presence Of a poison in the blood
which Is OF the nature Of a miasm."
The disease having it's origin in
the blood, it is reasonable to sup
pose that it must be cured by RENE
dies directed to the blood.
A successful remedy must pro
duce certain changes in the omp
sition OF the blood, and when this
has been accomplished, all pain,
swelling and stiffness OF the joints
subside.
This accounts tor the reason WHY
external applications tail to produce
permanent relief.

Madison Matters.

From Our Regular Correspondent
The past week has been rather quiet
at the capital city, the most important
event being the joint debate between
the Hesperian and Athenean societies at
the university. The question discussed
was: Is universal suffrage as it exists
in the United States detrimental to the
best interests OF the nation. The Hes
pertains took the affirmative, their rep
resentativess being Messrs. w. f. Balm
bridge, of Mifllin. j. +. Mcconnell, of
West Salem, and ID. E. Spencer of Mad
ison. The negative was supported by
Messrs. f. I. Dwight, of Brooklyn, o.
Hallam, of Dodgeyille and H. f. Briggs
of Madison, on behalf of Athena. The
affirmative debaters reviewed the vast
abuses that are now perpetrated on our
suffrage system and declared it wrong
and dangerous. The negative cham
pioned the system as one long estab-
lished and held that its overthrow
would be disastrous and would shak G
faith in other existing institutions. The
Judges were Associate Justice Lyan OF
the supreme bench; Hon. John M. DIN
and Rev. Mr.. Croker of the Unitarian
church. They gave their decision in
favor of the negative. This victory puts
Athena one ahead of Hesperia.

She Fumigated.

A woman went down to the Grand
Trunk depot the other day to see about
some freight expected from Canada, and
after looking over his files the agent IN
formed her that the goods had arrived
in Windsor but were being fumigated.
What business have they to open my
boxes over there?'' loudly demanded the
woman.
.'Oh, they won't open the boxes at all.
They will simply fumigate them :
''Well, won't pay for nothing OF the
sort, and ] want you to understand it
now"
There will be no charge, madam; no
charge"
"And if they go and mark my bureau
and bedsteads with paint or chalk 81
have damages she said, as she pulled
on her mittens.
They won't do it, ma'am. The law
requires fumigation. 1t is simply fumi-
CATION
She went out shaking her head, and
on the next block stopped the driver q
an express wagon and asked:
"Do you know what they fumlgaie
goods for over in Windsor
well, ma am, can't say for certain,
but it has something to do with small
pox."
..Yip!" she screamed, as she jumped 9
foot high. They are going to fumlgate

Teachers Meeting.

The Teachers meeting held last Sat
urday in this city was quite well at
tended considering the condition of the
roads and the weather, about 40 men,
bers being present. The topics pre-
scented were Intermediate Geography,
Miss Woolstenholme; First Primary
work, Miss Harrison; Second Primary
work, Mrs. Wood Diagrams as Helps
to Teaching Language, Miss Riedel.
History of the Declaration, Mr. A. G..
Finn; Percentage explained, Miss Finn.
Hygiene, Mr. Frank Wieland Prof.
Wood read well prepared and enter
tanning paper on Necessity of Accuracy
in all work, showing that lack of atten-
ton and correct observation will render
all efforts in life comparatively value
less and that the early education of the
child must be such that he will learn to
see and know things as they are and
not as careless idea will lead him to
iudgeit to be. Miss Riedel's paper led
to considerable interest and discussion,
the sentences used to illustrate were
not of the easy kind by any means but
of nature that thoroughly tests the
application of diagrams to analytical
work. Miss Finn very briefly and very
clearly set forth methods of teaching
the different cases in percentage. The
meeting was conducted by Supt. Har-
per. Up to the middle of the week he
hoped to have delegations present from
Mt. Hope, Bloomington, Potosi and
Fennimore. Prof. Woolcock and Miss
Philbrick from Fennimore were present
but the condition of the roads kept the
delegations from other places away
These meetings do much to keep up in
terest in educational work, and as {
means for interchange of ideas ant
methods and are of much benefit es
pecially to the young teacher.
