Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"Wheu my son, Will, was sig years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him a great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but / thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specifc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles ha ] been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
SIS. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh. Rheumatism, etc:
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

Chile.

F. de Miranda. one of the owners of the
steamer Madeleine, now in port, and own
ing interests in large oil wells in Peru,
who is ut the Palace, has received letter
from a personal friend in Chile, which
says that Mr.. Hardinger, long interested in
oil wells at Los Angeles and elsew he ere,
has made big gold discovery in Chile.
''It is at Cuzco, in the Carabaya Sandia
placer district in the department of Puno,
in the interior, or rather away from the
coast" said Mr.. de Miranda. "His mines
are placer, too, and are said by my cor
respondent to be phenomenallv rich.
MIR. Hardinger is well known, not only in
San francisco, but in other parts of Cali
fcrnia. He operated in oil for q long time
at Los Angeles.
Thousands of men have for some time
past been leaving Iquioue to 60 TO these
gold mines. Iquique is very dull. Moth
ing. almost is being done in the nitrate
business, There were from 40. 900 to As. 600
wOrkmen having their headquarters In
Iquique and about there, anu many of
these have left for the gold mines. Thou.
sands are leaving now. There is a big
excitement there.
Some half dozen big English syndicates
are operating in the Carabaya Sandia dis
trict. There appears to be lots of gold
there"
Mr.. de Miranda's steamers operate on
the west coast and carry oil from his
welle, which are at Grau, in the province
of Tumbez, Peru.

THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS.

They Are Discussed at the
Woman's Congress.
the industrial arts occupied the atten-

gress yesterday. Each lecturer dealt with
the subject in that concise manner that
denotes profound thinker and deep OBJ
server.
George Merrill was the first speaker in
troduced. His excellent paper was listened
to and solemnly applauded. Among other
things the gentleman said:
The man ual-training idea came to America
through the Russian educational exhibit at
the Centennial Exposition, Philadel phia
1876. 1t was first pu, 10 test in the Massa-
chusetts Institute OF Technology. Its general
introduction, however. was by means of GER
tain newly esta blished instituti ons Of high
school grade; The st: Louis Manual Training
School was the first of its kind in America
The development OF the Misunderstanding
idea from this earliest stage to its prese MT
status presents various phases, of which the
following is a convenient synopsis:
1. Multiplication of schools OF the st. Louis
to include courses for girls.
Extension of woodwork into the higher
grammar grades. and for ordinary grades
knifework exercises of American origin
3. The Sloyd movement, OF Swedish origin
a. The amalg amation OF toolwork, drawing
sewing. cookery and the kindergarten into a
continuous graded course OF manual training
or all grades from the kindergarten to college,
Manual training and trades schools have
little in common except their equipments
In methods, scope and purpose they are rad-
cally different Manual training has extended
Its resources greatly within the last few years
1t was originally training, not in. but by
means OF, or through the agency of. exercises

not to give knowledge per So Of this thing or
