The tobacco habit grows on q
man until his, nervous system is
seriously affected, impairing health,
comfort and happiness. To quit
suddenly is too severe a shock to
the system. as tobacco to an invet-
crate user becomes a stimulant that
his system continually GRAVES,
"Baco-Curo" is scientific cure for
the tobacco habit, in all Its forms,
carefully compounded after the for
mula of an eminent Berlin physi-
clan who has used 1t in his private
practice since 1872, without a fail
ure. 1t is purely vegetable and
guarantee perfectly harmless. You
can use all the tobacco yeu want
while taking "Baco-Cure." II will
notify you when to stop. We give
a written guarantee to cure per-
manentlv any case with three box
es, or refund the money with 10 per
cent interest. "Bac0.C Cure" is not q
substitute, but a scientific cure, that
cures without the aidiof will power
and with no Inconvenience. 1t
leaves the system as pure and free
from nicotine as the day you tack

Why Sir Edwin Arnold Ceased to Use the
Rod on His Pupils.
Sir Edwin Arnold, i'll his autoblog-
raphy, tells the unique story of how, as
master of the Birmingham Grammar
school, he was caned by one of the boys.
The class was engaged on Cicero.
Some disorder occurred near the master s
chair, and Selling the cane he gave
nasty cut upon the too tempting back OF
one youth who seemed to be the offend
er." eff you please, sir, !" said the tSJJ,
squirming, 81 did nothing. 1t was
Scudamore that kicked me in the stom-
ach underneath the desk. "
The statement was true. Scudamore
had demanded from his neighbor, quite
illegitimately, the explanation of an OBJ
scure passage, and, not being attended
to, had taken this much too emphatic
means of enforcing attention. Having
called the class up, Arnold said to the
doubly wronged boy, who was still rub

insisted. "Jones, you must obey me,

FLORAL LIFE.
a Chapter on the Sentiment of Mother
hood In the Plant.

A Chapter on the Sentiment of Mother
hood In the Plant.
In his Investigations of the psychology
Of the unconscious, DR.. David Allyn
Gorton of Brooklyn notes the sentiment
OF motherhood in the plant, though it
is less strongly marked than in animals.
Many towering species, he observes,
take special care Of the seed in budding
time, in protecting it against rain and
frost, by wrapping their petals around
It or inclosing it by the lips of their
corollas. This precaution is taken by
many plants at night to protect the
young and tender bud from the dew.
The impatiens noli-me-tangere hides
even its flowers under its leaves by
night. Many plants inclose their young
in horny cases, and these again in thorny
burs to preserve them against rapacious
birds and insects, and to assure their
coming to maturity. Most ingenious of
all are some Of the aquatic plants to Sc
cure the same end. Take, for example,
the alga species, the water lily, the
Ncrowfoot, the water nut, etc., which
send their flowers to the surface Of the
water for fertilization, and when it is
accomplished draw them to the bottom
again.
This student of psychology in the
plant world discovers equal significance
in certain phenomena among many diff
ferent species in respect to light, notic-
ing with other illustrations the behavior
of the sunfower, (which will almost
break its neck in its eagerness for the
sunshine" and the common grapevine,
which will invariably Irvine toward the
light.
Wonderful again is the unfailing GER
i tainty with which plants select their
food. They choose only that which is
good for them, even when environed by
poisonous substances in solution. Their
instinct Of the whereabouts Ct water is
unerring. IN one of my excursions to
the country one dry season, says IL.

Me and Others.

An artist should consider facts about
the masters of his profession calmly and
thoughtfully. He may reach valuable
conclusions about himself. A certain
musical composer of much talent and
popularity will call him Smithkins
has a happy appreciation of his own
work, as his friends all know.
So highly does he estimate Smithkin q
compositions that some of his friends
were much startled the other day when
he said gravely, ''Did you ever notice
that the names Of all the great composers
begin with M?"

dience.

They Have Done Nothing to Explore OF
Develop tho Country.
In the early years Of the sixteenth cen
fury, long before the first Dutch fort
was erected at Cape Town, Portugal had
planted her settlers at various points
along the east coast, from Delagoa bay
to the Zambezi and Mozambique. They
did some t-,;;..il. : Z i'll gold and ivory with
the interior, and they assembled the
Zambezi fer several hundred miles. But
the pestilential strip Of fiat ground which
lay between the coast and the plateau
dampened their desires and threw OBJ
stacles i'll the way CT their advance.
They did little to explore and nothing to
civilize the interior.
Three centuries passed, during which
our knowledge Of south central Africa
was scarcely extended, and it was not
till some 60 years ago that the Dutch
Beers in their slow wagons passed
northeastward from Cape Colony to the
spots where Bloemfontein and Pretoria
now stand; not till 1876 that David
Livingstone made his way through Bech-
uanaland to the Victoria falls Of the
Zambezi and to the Atlantic coast at
Loanda; not till 1889 that the vast ter
ritories which lie between the Trans
vaal republic and Lake Tanganyika be-
gan to be occupied by the Mashonaland
pioneers. All these farmers, explorers
and mining prospectors came up over
the high plateau from the extreme south
ernmost end of Africa, checked from
time to time by the warlike native
tribes, but drawn en- by finding every
where country in which Europeans
could live and thrive, while the Portu-
guese, having long since lost the i'm
pulse of discovery and conquest, did no
more than maintain their hold upon the
coast, and allowed even the few forts
they had established along the course Of
the Zambezi to crumble away.-Pro-

The man with weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A man
with weight on his health can't ex-
pect to compete in life and business
with those who are not handicapped.
If his brain is heavy, and his blood
sluggish, because of constipation, he
will not succeed in doing anything
very well. Constipation is the cause
of nine-tenths of all sickness. Symp-
toms of it are sallowness, listlessness,
poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth,
dizziness, biliousness, aud lassitude
Constipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not at all
violent in their action, and yet they
are more certain than many medicines
which are SO strong that they put the

vantage of the pleasant Pellets is
that they cure pen aaonently.
