Brights Disease of the Kidneys.

The symptoms of this dread disease are
pufiness of the face, especially under the
eyes, sometimes of the feet also, dull, heavy
pains in the back and loins gradually in
creasing, restlessness and weakness, palpi-
tation of the heart, indigestion and urinary
sediments At the appearance of the first
symptom Pe-ru-na should be taken in table
spoonful doses six times each day, or, if
more convenient, two tablespoonfuls three
times. each day before each meal. This
remedy strikes at once at the very root Of
the disease. 1t at once relieves the con-
gested kidneys of their stagnant blood, pre-
venting the escape of serum from the blood
Pe-ru-na stimulates the kidneys to excrete
from the blood the accommodating poison, and
thus prevents the convulsions which are
sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to
remain. 1t gives great vigor to the hearts
action and digestive system, both of which
are apt to fail rapidly in this disease.

depths Of its baggy pockets. He wore on
his head round fur cap, which every now

fingers across his face or to throw back his

THE CONVICT PRISON,

convict comrades and drove me from the
| prison gates. 1t seemed dream to me, sir,
but wandered back to Vladvostok some
how; but 1 could not find a friend. No one
had ever heard of Major Protoplovski or the
| American architect. So I wandered from
door to door, begging aims and sitting as
the long nights came on upon the sea wall
looking across the bay.
The Sight of Stars and Stripes.
Zone morning my heart gave a great
leap. I believed my eyes to be lying to me
and rubbed and rubbed them, for anchored
off the Naval Club was a stately ship with
the flag of free America floating in a Rus
sian breeze. Well, sir, the day after that,
as was standing on the little wharf where
your boats came in, was accosted by a
Russian subaltern officer accompanied by
the rough looking men who carried be-
tween them, sir, my trunk, the trunk, sir, 1
had not seen tor ten years and long since
thought destroyed. The official addressed
me, Are you the convict Simpson,
4 am $780, said.
"tAll right.
$50 they pulled me off to your ship, sir,
with my trunk and all and left me there.
There is little more to tell that YOU do not
know. Everything in my trunk was as I
left it, clothes and books and instruments,
but not paper, not pin, not dollar. 1
have not complained, it is useless. went
up to Toxic when we got here, with some
money your sailors gave, and sought out the
little flower-grown hill upon which my cot
tage stood. All had changed, the very
house disappeared. Upon its site stands a
two-story building, half Japanese, half
English hotel, they told me. No one had
ever heard my name nor of my wife and
boys"
He covered his wrinkled, time-worn face
with his hands as he finished, and 1 could
see the moisture of his eyes glisten between
his fingers. 1 begged him to come on board
again as gently laid the few foreign coins
had before his bowed head and left him.
But he never did.
Scene in Sacramento.
half a dozen years had rolled by me
when, one idle hour accompanied by an old
and curious friend, 1 strolIed into the new
Court House just completed at Sacramento.
The usual crowd of ill-fortune tossed hu-
manity was gathered behind the iron fence
that barred off petty offenders against the
law. We entered just as a seedy figure clad
in an old coat, buttoned to the chin, stepped
into the prisoners box. A tall Sergeant of
police rose in his place and addressed the
Judge.
'"This man Roberts, Your Honor, has been
defrauding people with story of lost
wife with yellow hair and a couple of
children, and about a missing trunk that
the Russians won't give him back, sir, his
$1,000 that are gone, sir, and
''Same story, officer?''
''The same, Your. .Honor7"
''Thirty days"
I leaned forward and looked closely.
The old prisoner stepped down from the
box in dazed sort of way, made feeble
him with blank SMILE and ran his fingers
through his long and tangled hair.
1t was my friend-Simpson, the architect

The Standard of Drawing,

Mrs. Van Waggoner, the supervisor of
drawing, will, at the close of school, spend a
week at Asbury Park and then go to her
home at Kingston, N. Y. She is much
pleased with the progress made in drawing
since her advent here, and next year, when
the system is fully understood, she predicts
q remarkable standard of drawing in Pitts
burg.
The trouble in the beginning was that
teacher was here to explain it, and con-
sequently each teacher had an interpreta-
ton for herself. At the State Teachers As
sociation, to be held at Bedford, there will
be an exhibit of drawing from the Pittsburg
schools. At the opening of the Mt. WASH
ington School splendid exhibit of indus
trial drawing in its progressive steps will be
ready for inspection.

FOR EYE AND HAND.
Introduction of the Sloyd System in
the Public Schools.
CASE OF PRINCIPAL JOHNSON.
Drawing in Pittsburg and the Prang Model
ing in Allegheny.
EDUCATIONAL GOSSIP IN GENERAL

The Industrial Committee of the Central
Board of Education met yesterday at P. M.
to make arrangements for the introduction
of the Sloyd system of industrial training
which the Central Board of Education
adopted at its last meeting. The ex-
perimental school will be opened at the
Forbes School with pupils of that school
on the first Monday in September. The
Industrial Committee candidly stated that
the first steps of arranging the new room
was to them quite problem, and inquired
of Superintendent Luckey, who was present,
if he knew of a teacher who would take
charge. Mr.. Luckey stated that Miss
Essefins, teacher of the Sloyd system at the
California Normal School, would be glad to
give an outline of the work proposed. This
lady was introduced and gave a list of the
tools required and the estimated cost in the
schools of Boston. For u pupils, the mum.
Der in each class, including benches and
tools, the school can be run at cost of
$3.50 SO.
: After the lady gave her information, Mr..
Phelps asked her if she could recommend
anyone to the committee who would take
charge of the new departure. She at once
replied, 81 will recommend myself"
A subcommittee, consisting of Messrs.
Phelps, j. o. Brown and Mr.. Yagle, was ap-
pointed to confer with Miss Esselins, asking
what compensation she required to take
charge. She asked 5000. Miss Esselins was
then elected teacher at that salary, and she
will supervise the fitting of the room, to be
ready by September. The Chairman OF the
meeting then appointed Messrs. Kellar,
Yagle and Terrence to assist Miss Esselins
in her duties. This lady has been at the
California Normal School for two years, and
previously taught three years in Sweden,
which country IS her home.
Superintendent Luckey, who is great ad-
vocate of industrial education, was inter-
viewed by DISPATCH reporter after the
meeting, and said: 81 think the Sloyd sys-
tenn is the best system for the public schools.
1t differs from the systems of other cities, in
that theirs is so costly while the Sloyd will
be comparatively inexpensive, outside of
the salary of the teacher. 1t is a mistaken
idea to think that all the pupils will be
made mechanics. The primary idea is to
have them cultivate their hands, teach
them observation and mental discipline.
The Sloyd system embraces the advantages
OF physical culture as well as those l have
pointed out"
If the school is a success room in which
will be taught industrial education will be
esta ablished in every schoolhouse in the city.
At the meeting it was developed through an
oversight that Mrs. Van Wagner was not
reelected supervisor of drawing. To
remedy this difficulty DR.. Kearns, Of the
Committee on the Course of Instruction, will
call meeting for this purpose.

cants have passed through the trying ordeal,
About 700 are examined each year. Mr.. Ham,

receive visit from these gentlemen
Wednesday. The class at that place will
number at least 100.
The teachers of Allegheny county can
congra tulate themselves on account Of the
tidal wave of increasing salaries that is
sweeping over the county. Braddock and
Homestead lead the list with salaries raised
to $, 400 each for their principles and fair
increase in salaries of lower grade teachers.
Sewickley, North Braddock and other bor-
oughs are following in the same line The
educational interests of Allegheny county
are surely booming.
