comprises three departments, namely:
Bellevue College, Omaha Medical Col
lege and Omaha Dental College, the
latter just organized. Each depart
ment is conducted on the plan of doing
the best possible work. Bellevue College,
as is well known, was the pioneer in
Nebraska for high grade work, being
in some particulars in advance of even
the state university. All of the high
schools of Nebraska which prepare
fully for the state university, have the
additional studies necessary for en-
trance to Bellevue College. The insti-
tuition maintains an academy or prepar-
atory department, and for those who
desire to teach or become proficient in
music it offers superior advantages, the
talent employed being the best to be
obtained. The college is ten miles
from Omaha, the metropolis of the
state, and is a delightful and attrac-
tive location. 1t is far enough away
to be out of sight and sound of the
busting city, and yet near enough to
be in touch with advantages that the
metropolis brings. Many desirable
features in connection with the college
might be dwelt upon, but from what
has been said the reader can draw his
or her conclusions, corresponding with
the faculty for details not here set
forth.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect Lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fcvers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all dru;-
gists in SOC and ST bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not

A Wonder of Antiquity.

One of the greatest wonders of an.
Gent Egypt, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie, was the famous artificial body of
water called Lake Moeris, According
to Herodotus, 1.-The measure Of its cir
cumference was $500 furlongs, which
is equal to the entire length of Egypt
along the ~seacost" The excavation,
which was made in the time of King
Moeris (the memnon CT the Greeks and
Romans)was of a varying depth and its
center was occupied by two pyramids,
the apeXes of which were 800 feet high
er than the surface of the water. The
water for this gigantic artificial reser-
voir was obtained from the Nile
through a canal, which six months of
the year had an overflow, correspond
ing to high and low water in the river.
The canal gradually filed with sand
and the lake has long since evaporated,
but the bottom is still n of the most
fertile tracts in Egypt.

Cure for Curiosity,

been unable to refrain from meddling
with the machinery of the guns and
other interesting pieces of mechanism
found about the ship. despite the big
piacards desiring them to keep their
hands off," which the officers plenti-
fully strewed about the vessel. So in
order to discourage such investigators
several of the machines witch seemed
most to attract the inquisitive were
connected to n powerful electric bat

course, retained also. Since the idea
was put into effect the ships company
has had lots of fun, and the visitors
have begun to have respect for a rea-

VIEWS OF MARRIAGE.

10 Consummntcs Lifc-No Single Life IL
the Perfect One.
We hear young men shy, II am too
poor to get married, " and girls, 1.-THE
man ! marry must be rich" These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have a certain sinoss-shrewdncss DO
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most ofton do not take an
hoacst view q marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
p~orimonting in the countries Of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road 90 a lax and immoral domos-
tic economy. It would seom that the
sensible view TO take Of marriage is
that 10 consnmmntcs life for tho poor
and tho rich, the vulgar and the refined;
that no single lifo is the perfect life.
Tho future OK mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring. And this suggests
that there should DO no marrying Of I'M
sound people. Greater selhshneas cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into the world doomed to a life
Of immitigable misery, tho hereditamont
Of those who bear their parents burden
OF disease. Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate for
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after 10 is too late?
Tho sensible Wow of marriage is the
view That comprehends every conse-
quenco. To tho young people looking
forward to o long and happy welded
life it is Of vital Importance that no Gle
meut Of tho subject shall be a mystery;
that nothing connected with the matri-
monial venture shall be loft to the haz-
ard of chance. Parents must understand
that their children are to be parents;
that there isno escape from the RESPONSE
bility. and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity aud maternity.
Tho young man and the young woman
who nro fitted for marriage arc fitted
for all that a healthy, courageous and
happy life demands or imposes. -Chau-
tauQuan.
