But like many other busy men, Mr..
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to a
condition of halplessness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can we'll be described. For
years / have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as if a
small piece of my spine had been
taken out, also as if fragment of
bombshel1 had passed through my left
hip. When ! would sit down, / could
not straighten up for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. ! could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies we're tried.
Someone recommended s. S. S. and
was almost In despair when began its
use. In three days, however, / was
so greatly relieved that / felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuma-
tism. The disease grew less painful
as continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. s. S. S..
also proved to be fine tonic, as now
have more appetite, and feel better
than ever before, in my life. cannot
say too much in praise of S. 8. S."
Rheumatism is condition of the
blood which has always baffled the
doctors, and 1t is a popularity that
those who once have It are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.
s. S. S. Guaranteed purely uegetable) is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,
Scrofu1a, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh,
letter, Contagious Blood Poison, etc.
When S. S. s. once forces a disease
from the system it never returns. Our
valuable books will be mailed free to

McClure's Magazine Will begin
publication in the December num-
Der q series Of views of the anthem
tic historic places and monuments
in Palestine. 1t is only by very
recent exploration and study that
many of the more significant OF
these places and monuments have
been certainly identified, and not
few of them have never been pic
tured until now. Last spring the
editor of McClure's organized a
considerable expedition, and, ac-
companied by photographer spe-
cially skilled and experienced in
such work, made a tour of nearly
the whole of Palestine, and took
| photographs of whatever of impor-
lance the latest and most authori-
tive investigations have definitely
connected with Biblical incident
and history. Special attention
was given to the great ancient
highway leading from Damascus
to Jerusalem and on down through
Bethlehem TO Hebron; and many
views were obtained of localities
and objects of the first interest
that will be entirely new to the
public. They have been repro
duced with great care, and will
make one of the most attractive
features of McClure's through the
coming months.

Teach the People to Read.

We may prescribe this remedy OF
that, but the final solution of our So
cial troubles is to teach the masses
to read-not only how to read but
what to read and what to read for
To express tpedagogically, we must
form the reading habit in the mass
es. AS Hugo expresses it, "The null
duplication of readers is the multiple
cation of loaves.'
Many people who read don't rea-
son, but all who reason, also read
The community that reads most rea-
sons most. Before people can reason
they must have food for reason,
namely facts, and the facts from
which we reason are largely gained
through reading. The more people
read the better their information !;
and the better informed, the more
reasonable, the more they settle ques-
tions by judgment instead of pas
sion
The greatest need of The south is a
reading population. Our people
don't buy enough of papers, maya
zines and books. They have not
formed the reading habit; hence
they are not informed as to the move
ments going on in the world. They
are not in touch with the thought of
the time; they live in the past. Our
schools are valuable in many respects
but first of all they are valuable as
opportunities to teach the masses to
read-to form the reading habit

Work.

In this day of educational fads
one needs to exercise great care in
adopting new ideas in education.
We do not desire to be among
those who are slow to get in the
line of progress, nor do we wish to
go Misunderstanding with the fad
dists. We are led to suppose by
the doctrines put forth by the dis
ciples of the New Education, that |
a new system of education is soon
to appear, which shall educate a
boy without any effort on his part.
Improved apparatus, pictured
walls, angelic teachers, and a per-
feet environment are all good in
their way, but they won't educate
a boy, The boy must do some
thing himself. After all our dis
cussions about the means of MAX
ing the curriculum attractive and
the surroundings delightful, there |
is nothing that strengthens the
mind SO much as hard study. No
man has ever become scholarly and |
learned without intense and per-
sistent mental application. This
being true, why should we permit
our pupils to be mere passive re-
cipients of what we may give
them2 | believe we ought to re-
quire our pupils to work COM
mon sense should be used as to
what they are able to do. | am
thankful today that when farm
er's boy | was kept busy. 1t
seemed hard then, but | have hab-
its of work now. We are all natuA
rally lazy This is especially true
of children, hence the Importance
of teaching them habits of work.
Yes, work in school can be made
attractive to some extent, but no
teacher can free the mind of the
pupil from the thought that it is
work. The fact is, the average pu-
pill in our schools is not SO afraid
of work as t.aa average teacher is.
A great many teachers have no
fixed habits of study. In a great
many cases the blind are trying to
lead those that can see some.
Teacher, do you know that the re-
citing of facts by your pupils in
their classes is the smallest part
of the result of your work? Long
after those facts are forgotten and
your face is a shadow in their
memory they may use the habits
of study and the modes of thought
which they got from you. Teach
ers cannot all be graduates, but
they can be much better teachers
if they use all the means for inn
proving themselves. Let us stop
this trying to hide the fact that
the fruitful life in school has
background of solid work. No
fad can make us able to escape the
force of the divine injunction, that
in the sweat of the face we shall
eat bread. 1t is our duty to train
the pupil to study for himself and
to think for himself. Our work is
failure unless we do this. / have
no fear of what one writer calls
the "cramping influence of formal
examinations" There is nothing
to be feared from anything which
requires good hard work. You
sometimes read about those fell
lows that have hurt themselves
working in school, but you don't
meet them often. The country is
full of the other kind that are not
good for anything, because they
didn't work in school. J.R.
