Bow to Make the Study of Greek
Attractive.

DR.. J. Gennadius in the October Forum
II the system of teaching modern
Greek-Greek as living language
were adopted wherever Greek is
taught, its study would be render
ed not only easier, but more attrac-
tive and more in teresting to the
pupil it would free his mind from
the sense of awe, difficulty, and
Uselessness which is inseparable
from the notion of dead language.
The reproach that valuable time
has been wasted would disappear;
for he would have acquired with
the advantages of classic train
ing a living language spoken all
through the Levant, possessing a
cOntempOraneous and daily in
creasing literature and an ably
conducted newspaper press.

No War on This Question.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Times
writing on the revival by France
OF her claim to protectorate in
Madagascar, says The French
are quite alive to the value of
strong naval stations on the Cape
route to the East, and it is but
natural that they should seek to
gain them. We in this country
have never been blind to the policy
of our neighbors in that respect !;
but while a perception of its inevi-
table drift should make us vigilant
and resolved to keep our sea power
unimpaired and capable as ever of
vindicating its old supremacy,
there is no reason why it should
cause lis either jealousy or alarm.
In an interview with represen-
tstive of the Daily Chronicle, a
gentleman associated with the
trade and affairs Of Madagascar
said: There will be no war, and for
two reasons. First, French opinion
in reference of Madagascar is divid-
ed. One section would use diplO-
macy only, while the other would,
but for the existence of the
first, go further. However,
the existence of the two schools in
itself obviates, in my view, fOrCible
action. The French are quite
aware what a long and costly task
it would be to beat down the NAL
apaSy. IT wOuld take wears to con.
quer the island.

so he lost his temper, took the bird by

There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so adj
mirably adapted to the purpose for
which it is intended, as Cham ber-
lain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week
passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache
may be cured by it. a touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore
healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which
insures cure in about One-third of
the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive imme-
date treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured
before it becomes serious. A trou-
blesome corn may be removed by
applying it twice day for week
or two. A lame back may be cured
and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest
relieved without paying a doctor
bill. Procure a 5Ocent bottle at
once and you will never re-
greet it. For sale by F. Kalteyer

A THREE-EYED LIZARD.
One of the Most Striking CurIositles of the
Reptilian Kingdom.


Speaking of lizards, the queerest
one we have seen for long time
reached us the other day from New
Zealand says a scientist in the Wash
ington correspondence of the st. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat. 1T is named the
'cyclopean lizard because it has a third
eye on the top of its head. However, it
is not a true lizard, but Il sort of con-
Meeting link between the lizards and
the turtles. The species is limited to q
small island near New Zealand. and it
has been rendered almost entirely ex-
tinct by hogs with taste for it's flesh.
1t attains a length of three feet, but all
of the big ones were eaten up long ago.
The third eye is rudimentarv. but dis
section of its structure plainly reveals
the eye socket, the lens, and strand
of nerves connecting the visual tract Of
the brain.
This eye is interesting chiefly be-
cause it corresponds to the third eye with
which every human being is proviU ID
The sO-called 'pineal gland is actually
an eye that has become rudimentarv.
The gland is about the size and shape
of a pea, and is situated in the middle
of the head Place the end of Your
finger just above the bridge of your
nose, on a level with the eyes, and di-
rectly behind that point five inches is
the gland. 1t still retains somewhat
the structure of an eye. The ancients
it to be the center of con-
seriousness and the seat Of the soul"

A FLORAL CURIO.
The Wonderful Snow Flower OF Northern
Siberia.

Inc HObuefIul snow Flower OF Northern
Siberia.
One of the greatest curiOsities is the
snow flower that blooms in the north
ern portion of Siberia, where the earth
is continually covered with a coating of
snow and frost. This wonderful plant
shoots forth from the frozen soil on the
first day of the year, and reaches the
height Of about three feet; it blooms on
the third day, remains open twenty.
four hours and then returns to its
original elements. 1t shines for single
day, then the stem, leaves and flower
are converted into snow The leaves
are three in number. The flower is
star-shaped, its petals about as long as
the leaves and about half an inch wide.
On the third day the eXtremities of the
leaves show little glistening specks,
like diamonds, about the size of the
head of pin. These are the seeds Of
this queer flower. On one occasion
some of these seeds were gathered and
hastily transported to st. Petersburg
They were there placed in a bed of
snow, where they were kept until the
first of the following year. when the
snow flower burst forth and was great
ly admired and wondered at by all who
saw it,

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body arr under the con-
.rOl of the nerve CeutCr~, located in or near
the base Of the brain. and tina. when these are
ieranged the organs which t.rN supply with
nerve tiuid are also dcranEcd. When H. IS re-
membered that a serious injUT' to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the holy below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, il will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve ccnterS will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thrdS Of chronic diseases are due 10
the imperfect action of the nerve cenlers at
ment primarily originating in the organ il
self. The great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather. than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES. the celebrated spG-
Cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection withtt, chief among
them being the facts contained in the owe
statement, and that the ordinary me'hOt : Uf
treatment are wrong. All headache, Ol'i-
Less dizziness confusion, pressure, 5.L'',
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, st.

matter how caused. The wonderful success Of
Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine is due 10 he
fact that il is based on the foregoing principle.
