How He Built Ten Stories.

Capt. Ed H. Webster, of Kansas CITY.
said: The ten story building of the west
ern city Is what somebody in the town
must erect The somebody is ordinarily
wrecker. He knows when he begins
the scheme that he will never live to en-
Joy the income of the structure, or be a
victim of its collapse. He just wants to
have 1t said that he built the ten story
affair and he is ready to quit. know a
ten story affair that was built on the fol-
lowing pattern:
The man had s. 900 cash. He leased
corner in block and put in his foun-
dation. Then he mortgaged it for $685.
600 That was to cover the foundation
and three stories. Then he put on a sec.
ond mortgage of So. 900, and with that
the structure was run up three stories
higher. Then he placed third mort
gage on the building, which put it un-
der roof He finished it off and rented
every Office, and every tenant found
himself confronted with garnishee by
the mechanics who had liens.
These mechanics collected the rents of
that building until rich woman came
along and bought the whole edifce, in
GLIDING the lease. But the ambitious
fellow who had run up the sky scraper
had his name on stone over the en-
trance, and he seemed to be happy

going on in the country. Chicago Trib-

Rest the Great Remedy.

The medicine for the heart, of all
other organs, is residential and bodi-
ly. This does not mean doing nothing
at all, but not OVERRIDING; least of all,
not giving it anything in the way OF
physical i'll being to overcome. This
must be provided for at all points.
Food may be delicate and plentiful. air
and sunshine generously admitted.
baths and massage do their utmost,
and chilly sleep for want of some extra
blankets or dull days with poor fire
will SO disorder the circulation that the
other cares go for nothing as far as
positive gain is concerned.
1t takes an all round intelligence to
secure the common health. Most peo-
pie take the one chance of it that pours
out of a medicine bottle Others add
to this care about food and baths. and
half care about pure air, while they
take little rest and next to no sunshine
or any cheerful stimulus of pleasure.
OF course. the result is unsatisfactory.

Education in Switzerland,

In Switzerland the states first bust
ness is the education of the youth.
Teachers must, first of all, be univer-
sity graduates, or else be graduates OF
high, very high, class norInals. They
are employed for long terms, almost
for life, and are pensioned when grown
old in the public service. The schools
stand at the head of everything; even
the army costs less than their schools
do
Their system contains six kinds or
grades of preparatory schools below
the university. There are the primary,
the secondary, the repeating, the spe-
cial, the Real schools, and the gymna-
SUM, the last answering in rank to the
American college. The first two OF
these schools are compulsory and free,
but the pupil may choose between at
tending the secondary school and the
repeating school, This latter is intend
ed mostly for the benefit of the very
poor who cannot spare the children
from labor after they have finished
with the primary Schools. H. NJ

A correspondent of The Chicago Tri
bune complains that he took a foreign
prescription TO a druggist in Chicago
who declined to return the paper after
putting up the medicine. The writer
claims that in England and Scotland
the apotheearies return prescriptions,
retaining copies. A Chicago druggist
thinks that a good case can be made
out for both customs, although "under
ordinary circumstances in this city any
druggist will give a customer a copy OF
the prescription he brings in unless the
physicians request is to the contrary"
