In the year 1868, Mr.. j. r. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name NDr. Wards"
a Household word in thousands Of homes Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right, and
Justice as to undertake 70 despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprangt up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
"just as good as DR.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
world divide right to use his name as trade
mark for fullline of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office

nesting was also one of great inter
est to naturalists. 1t seemed prob
able that the north was the original
home Of the progenitorS of many of
the species which annually migrate
there, and that they retained the
memory of their ancient birthplace.
Darkness and cold were, of course,
the two obstacles to life in the Arc
tic regions, but they were evidently
not so formidable as might appear.
1t must be remembered that there
was only a limited period of abso-
lutte darkness, and the fact that SO
many species of plants Aourished in
high ATTITUDES was proof that suffi-
cient light reached them. AS to
mammals, it was we'll known that
the polar bear did not hibernate; he
was not a martyr to the "chilly
coma" which afflicted the black and
brown bear and the dermouse, but
roved the land and sea all the win
ter. Professor Geikie had said that
the Polar region was the cradle for
tree forms. The deciduous cypress,
which is now found only found only
in the United States and Mexico,
Hourishel in the Miocene period as
high up as latitude 81. The spruce
also was a tree of the far north be-
fore it made it made its appearance
in Europe.-Daily Graphic.

Prof. Theophilus Robarts, of Per-

The heir to the throne of Portu-

Few of the rulers of Europe play
cards except as a pastime. The
king of Italy detests cards, and will
not take one of them in his hand,
it is said, owing to the fact that his
father wasted hours over them. The
emperor of austria plays a few in
nocent games. Since the death of
Alphonpo XII. card playing has
been forbidden at the court ofSpain.
Emperor William also frowns upon
cards, and never plays excepting
when on yachting trip.

was assigned to run from Philadel-
phia the train that bore Mrs. Gar

LIFE IN THE ARCTIC RE
GIONS.

At recent meeting of the Royal
Geographical Society, Mr.. A. Ire
vor-Battye lectured upon THE
Struggle for Life in the North Polar
Region"
Mr.. Trevor Battye said it struck
all travellers in the Polar regions
that Instead of the dreary and bar
rem lands which they might expect
to see they found on the contrary
abundant and exuberant life
mammals, birds, and plants flour
lshins in and apparently well CON
tent with the conditions of their
existence. The fowler of our east
ern coasts would recognize the sand
erllng, the knot, the brent goose, the
ducks, and the waders which he
was accustomed to shoot from his
punt and he would find flowers such
as those he had left behind-the
dandelion, the cuckoo plant, and.
further north, saxifrage. Much of
OF the existence of the various forms
OF life was passed in sunlessness
and extremely severe cold. An in
teresting question for naturalists
was the consideration of this initial
presence of organic life in those re-
gions, and how it managed to sur
we. The question as to why the
BIRDS familiar to us in our temperate
zone went north for the purpose OF

LIVED NAKED LIKE CANNI-
Balls.

William Preston Harrison, son Of
the late Mayor Harrison Of Chicago,
who has just returned from years
cruise among the South Sea islands,
has many interesting stories to tell
of his voyage Besides narrowly
escap ping death at the hands of can
nibals in the Solomon islands he
had numerous other startling ex-
periences.
"a native may take you into his
house, at night and treat you the
best kind" he said. He will never
modest you there on the score of
hospitality, and you can remain
there and be perfectly safe. Never
theless, the next day, after you
start away, he is just as likely as
not to overtake you and knock you
on the head with his club. The
social ethics are then off, if it may
be considered that being boiled in
the headtaker's pot is not a social
affair.
II saw in some places as many as
seventy-fve skulls in a place, all
relics of the head hunters. There
were many places where such lots
of skulls could be seen. The more
heads brave had taken the higher
he was esteemed. The hold the
heads in the same estimation as an
Indian does his scalps. They add
renown to him according to the
number he has. AS long as this
state of feeling prevails it can be
seen that it will not stop.
IF went down to the Pacific
islands largely for pleasure, but in
tending to do some literary work
while absent. I had worked very
hard while in Chicago, and wanted
a good rest. The island life is SO
peculiar that I fell in with island
ways and did no work at all.
II discarded all clothes except a
native garment around my loins,
and let my beard grow long till |
got back to Sydney. While going
naked, the sun peeled my back till
it became exceedingly sore and the
skin peeled off in patches. Finally
it healed up and got as hard and
impervious to the sun rays as that
of any native.
II went about as much as [ de-
sired on the islands, and much more
than | would no again. 1t is down
there as it was on the western
plains and mountains with the In
dams. You get accustomed to the
danger and don't always think so
much about it as you ought. |

have this time for ANYTHING in the

PRESIDENT BRYAN AT GAR
FIELD.


II was q rare treat the people OF
Garfield enjoyed on Tuesday even
inc President Bryan was in his
MANIFEST mood and dealt evidently
with favorite subject. Senator
McCroskey introduced the speaker,
who was bis guest for the, time in
his pleasant way, congratulating
the audience, which was good one
to be select, on the special privil-
eye of the evening. After brief but
lncid attention to the nature and
function of language in general,
the speaker carried his audience
back to the ancient home of the race,
and from thence traced the history
of the various languages of the civ
ilized world. The familiar illustra-
ton of tree with its branches was
drawn upon a chart, the trunk
marked "Aryan," to indicate the
parent race, and the various pri-
mary branches made relatively con-
spicuous to show how the various
peoples and languages sprang from
common source.
A very interesting and instruc-
tive feature of the lecture was the
tracing Of kinship through the sim
ilarity of root words in the different
languages, showing that at some re-
mote period of history they were
one. The essential difference be-
tween synthetic and analytic
tongues was made clear, and the
structural changes that words have
gradually undergone were illus
trated. In short the great subject
was handled with mastery ability,
and as thoroughly and comprehen
sively as would have been possible
in one address.
Without unusual eXertion Pres
ident Bryan speaks with force and
distinctness, and is little confined to
his manuscript. At times he en-
larges upon his theme or freely
branches of'on new lines ofthought,
but loses nothing the while Of his
power and grace of delivery.
He is an enthusiast on the gran
deur of the destiny of the Anglo
Saxon tongue and grows eloquent
in it's contemplation. OF its adap-
tation to meet all demands of
thought and feeling, as also of it's
force and beauty of expression, little
proof was needed, for the eulogy it.
self was ample illustration of both.

The nnzers or,he Past.

Colonel Joseph Stewart entered the
military academy at West Point July l.
1888. and his recolleations concerning the
customs at that institution over half q
century ago are fresh and vivid, says
an exchange.
There was the case of Benham" said
Colonel Stewart at his home in Berke: ~
Benham comes TO my mind particularly
because he was hazed more severely than
any man In the academy during the four
years l passed there. You have read
about the haZsng of Cadet Edwin c. Da-
VS. or Idaho, by Cadet Captain Patrick
"A. Murphy, the champion boxer of the
academy, recently. Iwish to say that in
former times there was no such brutal
hazing as Davis has experienced. In
fact, for a captain of the first class to
engage In smuggling match flfty-eight
years ago would have been considered
dlsgraceful. and I am too much Of an
tally has come to pass.
"HaZing? Yes, of course there was
hazing al West Point fifty-eight years
ago, but tha first class had nothing to
do with brutally hazlng lower classmen.
Benham, of whom I'speak, afterward
went to the engineer corps He was a
| fine fellow, and spirited, too, but per
haps n little too creduous. He fell in
with one of the self-elected and bogus
Board of Officers soon after he arrived
