PREJUDICE

Prejudice is hard TO combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in day. More than ikelyit wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years.
Forinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed SO
before them. So did their grandfathers:
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, Notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think so.
The only way we know to meet popular un-
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS, and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. 1t is fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof of it too. 1t
comes from those who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been COM
pletely cured by this remedy. All who have
tried it have had this experience. Some of
them permit US to print their testimony. It
makes quite little book, which we send free
toany who are interested enough to ask rit.
A complete Russian Rheumatism Cure,
costs $3.50. If mailed, Ioc. additional. If
registered, Ioc. more. You'll never need but

A Cold Proceeding,

On one of the recent cold nights man
was fastening across the Common with
his overcoat buttoned up to his neck. He
was rather anxious to know what time it
was but he was too lazy to unbutton his
coat in order to get at his watch. Just
then he saw a man of well dressed ap-
pearance coming in the distance. When
he came up the man who wanted to know
what time it was touched his hat politely
and said: 'Sir, do you know what time it
is"' The stranger paused, removed his
right glove, unbuttoned his overcoat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under coat
and finally pulled out his watch, while
the cold wind beat against his unprotected
chest Holding up the watch so that tho
light would shine on it, he scrutinized It
an instant and said "Yes." And then he
passed on without another word.-Boston

is but moment If rheumatism or neural.
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part to another without
other outward applications are in them
selves dangerous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can
only be reached by q remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such remedy is Athlophoros. 1t has been
thoroughly tested and is a safe, sure cure.
Robert Sprotbery, Driver on Cedar Ave
Car Line, and who lives at Glendale
Ave, Cleveland, Ohio, said in relation to
his rheumatism: ! have been troubled for
about three years with rheumatism in my
hip. have had many severe attacks, that
rendered it impossible for me to work. These
attacks would often last from four to six
weeks, but am glad to say have found
the medicine that masters the disease and
drives il away. / used Athlophoros for
one of these bad attacks and with but a few
doses was rid Of the rheumatism and pain
Have you had any return of the disease
was asked. Yes, l have never used Ath-
lophoros steadily, as am well satisfied
to use it as l do. As soon as | feel the
first symptoms of rheumatism | take dose
or two Of Athlophoros and thus avoid the
attack. l always keep it on hand and
would not be without it.
Robert d. Smith, Of London, Ohio, has
had an attack OF rheumatic fever. which for
a time rendered him helpless. One bottl.
of Athlophoros cured him, and though this
was nearly two years ago, he has not hac'

Reading to Russ.an Peasants.

The peasant is very fond of reading, that
is, Of hearing some one else read. A viii
lage teacher may be often seen in hut
surrounded by a crowd of peasants of all
ages, reading "Bova Korolevitch," or
some other story about the adventures Of
some hero or other. Great care Is generally
exercised by the teacher in selecting
stories for such purposes. They must be
Of moral tone, eleyating, and, what Is
more important, in popular language.
shall never forget the sight of q lively
crowd Of peasants surrounding a village
school, where one Of the pupils, young
fellow of IA, was reading q story about the
heroes of the last Crimean campaign.
Both the little hero and his hearers were
in their glory and am sure many a peas
ants ambition was at that moment to see
his youngsters possess such knowledge.
Such schools are, however, the excep-
tiol. There are parts of Russia where
the population probably never saw a book
in their life.-S. S. Skidelsky in Phila

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, p" gets new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-poOr appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine. just as he did from the
hrst-and so kept doing all alOng-until the
name Of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
ami the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it is called some other inc in
place of quinine, but tits all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey'S Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen l tried them. They were 8 sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health.

The unprecedented sale Of BOschee's
German Syrup within few years, has as
tonished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure Of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system. but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them in
a purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t Is pos
stively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, rs cts, large

The Quaker Thou"

When the novelists of the last century
had occasion to introduce a Quaker into
their fictions they took care to mark him
well by Oyerlsying his speech with thee
and thou, " and, indeed, al one time this
phrase was a common slang term for the
Friends. The use Of these pronouns IL
partially a survival of the time whom the
lower orders employed them habitually
and is a curious instancs of the correct
ness of phrase surviving among the very
persons who, next to pc iants and scien-
lists, are currently credited with being
the eorrupters Of the language, while the
educated had fallen into grammatical in
correctness. The Quaker writer's affirm,
however, that the use Of you" instead
Of the thou" OF the grammsrs originally
rose from a desire to compliment the per
son addressed by ascribing to him the
Importance belonging TO two or moro,
and wrote many tractates In support Of
their view. Be this as is may, Il is indls
putable that technical correctness was on
their side, and sovereign aud newspaper

Tourists. Fashionabl. Routes.

Tourists, even those of America, gener
ally follow beaten routes, going here and
there for no better reason than because
tourists have been doing the same thing
for generations. The mass Of persons who
decide TO visit Europe do not make up
their minds what they want to see or what
is most worth seeing. They merely wish
to travel in the same direction and in the
same way, visiting the same places aud
having the same experiences that their
fathers and grandfathers have done.
Nineteen out of twenty tourists at this
season 60 to London, Paris, run into
Switzerland, descend the Rhine, return
to Paris by Brussels, recross the channel
to Liverpool and sail back home with the
impression that they have exhausted
Europe, or at least whatever is really in
teresting. They make another journey,
perhaps a third and fourth; but they
usually cover the same ground. Their
object is less to become acquainted with
the old world than 10 be able TO say that
they have seen there.
Until within few years few tourists
went to Holland and even now not one in
a hundred goes to Spain Some of the
most curious and attractive towns abroad,

The Fountain of vitality,

The source of physical energy and menta.
activity, is the blood. ISet this become vi
tiated with bile, or thin and watery in con-
sequence of indigestion and nOn-assimila-
tion of the food, and an interruption of the
functions Of the body, and loss of STAN
ina, flesh and appetite ensues. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is tonic specially adapted
to restore all three, because itassists ,,diges-
ton and assimilation, and removes bile and
other impurities from the circulation. Pro-
tected and strengthened with this admira-
bic defensive invigorant, the system defes
influences inimical to health. TO which, if
unregulated and feeble, it would undOubt-
edly succumb. Constipation, often an OBJ
stinate and chronic ailment, is entirely re-
moved by it, the liver, kidneys and bladder
reused from inaction, and a tendency TO
rheumatism effectuaIly counteracted. 1t also

SSn. Lees EarIy boynOou Days.
have recently seen at Mr.. Ezekiel's
studio the clay model of Gen. Lee as boy
Of IA, which, it is hoped, will be erected
in marble in front of the house Of Lees

on the site of the tOmbS of many Of his
followers who fell in the war. The fgurs
Is exceedingly characteristic and full of
life, and the face rejuvenated by Mr..
Ezekiel from his own bronze portrait
model Of the general in later life gives elo-
quently the promise of what was TO come.
''"'he boy is father to the man" here in
very truth. The right hand, holding a
little simple cap rests on the small stump
of an oak tree, while the left, brought up
to about the waist, clasps Bible with
one finger between the leaves. The youth
full figure is slightly turned from right to
left, and the head is erect and thrown
back a little, as if to catch the light
breeze which blows apart the folds of the
boys simple blouse and reveals in part the
promise of strength and the compactness
in the figure. The small feet, for which
the Lee family are famous, are finely mod
eled. as also the slim, boyish leg in its
neat stocking and breeches buttouing
below the knee.
II had by a mere chance an interesting
opportunity Of judging the faithfulness Of
the likeness as mere likeness, il heredit-
airy resemblances are to count for any
thing While I was examining the figure
in detail there came into the studio lady
with three pretty daughters, who was
introduced TO me as Mrs. Cooper, daugh
ter of Gen. Lees first cousin. One Of the
young ladies, aged about Is, bore so strik-
ing a resemblance TO the bOyish portrait
Of her llustrious relative as to make it
certain even TO a strangers eye that they
were Of the same stock; and, indeed, Mrs
Cooper (who is usually ;alled the ''niece
OF Gen. Lee, though really the cousin
once removed, and WAS on terms Of the
greatest affection and confidence with
him) declared that any member Of the
family must be satisfied with the striking
likeness apart from the artistic merit of
