Anguish UnspeakabIe

Is endured by the victims of intlam-
matory rheumatism. and any form of
disease may reach that agonIzing
phase or attack the heart and cause
death. Unhappily those who feel its
preliminary twinges seldom realize
this. Like other possibly dangerous
maladies, rheumatism is often disre-
garded at the outset Well will it be
for him if this brief notice shall serve
as a warning of future peril or pain to
a reader troubled with incipient rheu-
matism. The proper sequel will be
an ntaneous resort to the great
preventive depurent, Hostetter'sStom-

or more genial antidote to the virus OF
rheumatism in the system. Botanic
in it's origin, it is free from the Objec-

infinitessimal dose. The Bitters con-

Work of the Roman Catholic Con =
greSS.

New York Tribune.
The congress of Catholic laymen
which closed it's sessions in Baltimore
on Tuesday evening will mark an era
in the history of American Roman
Catholicism. For it indicates that
the church designs giving to the laity
greater prominence than has hitherto
been granted to them, either here or
in Europe. 1t may be true, as has
been asserted, that all the papers read
in the congress were first Inspected by
the ecclesiastical authorities of the
church. But while that fact lessons
the importance of the views pre-
scented as individual utterances. it
makes them more authoritative as the
official voice of the church. 1t is
pleasant, therefore, to find that, on
the whole, the utteranCes of the con-
gress were able and patriotic. The
platform of principles ADOPTED is fair
and candid, and much of ii will COM
mend itself to Pro estants as well as
Catholics. 1t asserts in the strongest
terms the loyalty of Catholics to
American Institutions, emphasizes
the Importance of education, calls at
tention to some of the dangers that
threaten the social fabric, touches on
the conflict between capital and
labor, and calls upon Catholics to
pay more attention than they have
hitherto paid to the great philan
thropic and reformatOry movements
of the age, and to work with non
Catholics in shaping Christian issues
that are common to both.

ABOUT SHEEP.

More sheep are lost by dogs in all OF
the older States than by all other
causes. This is an unnecessary tax.
A few days ago Montana flock
master received draft for little over
S4s, 900 for his wool clip of this year.
Oats is better grain feed than corn
for ewes. 1t is not so heating and con-
tains more of the heterogeneous element
SO essential in building up the system
of the young.
Every flock-master must know by this
time that it is constant diet on dry
food in winter that plays the mischief
with the flock. If you have neither en-
silage nor roots, feed some oil meal.
Corn must be fed to sheep very spar
ingly. Not over pound and a half of
corn should be given daily to good
sized wether. But in addition it must
have plenty of nutritious grass or hay.
Many farmers in Western New York
gave up the wool business as unprofit-
able long ago, but still keep sheep, and
say that keeping the mutton breeds is
one of the best-paying branches of farm
ing.
Sheep should not be compelled to feed
at the same rack with cattle. They are
liable to be hooked, and vicious ram
may sometimes do injury to cattle.
Separate yards and separate racks are
safest and best,

Over on the West Side is very hand
some young woman who is afflicted with
somnambulism. When she puts her
pretty head upon the pillow at night she
does not know what may befall her before
she awalles in the morning, and she
worries great deal over this strange
affection. Her people watch her as
closely as possible, but she objects to
any regular espionage during her sleep
ing hours. One night not long ago she
went to bed at the usual hour. Along
about one a. m. her sister, who slept in
an adjoining room, awoke and went in
to see if the girl was all right. Her
bed was empty and her door was open!
The house was aroused and a search for
La Somnambula" was begun. She was
found-but where? Curled up in little
ball on the coal in the cellar coal-bin
sleeping soundly. She was aroused
quietly and went back to her bed,
where she slept well until morning. In
her dreams she must have imagined
that coal cost more than good bed, and
she was about ight.-Chicago Herald.

TOO MUCH EDUCATION.

| Manual Training Much More Useful Than
the Ordinary College Course.
A Gottingen professor. who is alarmed
| because good brewer commands larger
wages in Germany than Greek profess
| sOr, has written book to demonstrate
that there is too much learning in the
| world, and that our educational me tn DDS
must be reformed SO as to appreciate
the value of scholarship. He shows that
| there are now entered on the rolls of the
German universities 90, 600 students, and
that fully one-half of these hopeful
youths are doomed to poverty and dis
appointment. The Gottingen professor
is right in his doleful prediction if these
$4,000 young men are being educated
for the ''gentlemanly professions in
stead of the more lucrative and more
certain callings of industrial life. But
if these $4,000 young German college
students had it in mind to turn their
hands to manual labor when they left
college they would not be hurt by the
stock of learning they are accumulat-
ing. A carpenter or a blacksmith or
shopkeeper is none the worse for being
scholar. The real trouble is in that
false idea which is current that educa-
ton disqualifies a person for manual
pursuits, and that the educated man or
woman must find station somewhere
in the professions. Still, it is loss of
time for young person to devote years
to the study of the dead languages
when the same period spent in a manual
training school would give the prepara-
ton required, and thus enable him to
secure profitable employment immedi-
ately upon leaving school. 1t has
long been the fault of our educa-
tional methods that there are too many
captains and not enough privates being
turned out from our schools and col
leges. Now that it is coming to pass the
privates are receiving more wages than
the captains, the fault will correct it.
self. We have the evidence of this in
the disposition to make manual train
ing a part of our common school system
here in America. Manual training and
technical education in mechanical pur-
suits is being incorporated into nearly
all of the schools of our American cities.
Private enterprise has also taken hold
of the subject. There is private insti-
tuition of this kind in New York, which
is well patronized, and whole graduates
are in demand by master mechanics, as
they make better workmen than are
turned out by the loose apprenticeship
system.-St. Paul Globe.
