Pupils May Enter

the progressive school of shorthand
and typewriting at any time, forenoon,
afternoon or evening. Day pupils are
given instructions in the evening class
free. The most modern methods are
used in this school, and efforts are
made to obtain positions for pupils
when competent. The system is taught
in public schools and business colleges,
as well as by all classes of professional
men. Mr.. G.. Herrick, court reporter
in Galveston, Texas, the most rapid
writer in United States, writes this sys-
tenn at the rate of 275 words perminute.
There are no positions to learn, no COM
plicated theory, but it is simple enough
for school children to learn. 1t helps
the memory and cultivates concentra-
ton of the mind. Terms very low.

Seems as consumption always picks
out the brightest and best. Fully one
sixth of all the deaths that occur i'm the
world are caused by consumption.
Many things were once considered i'm
possible. 1t would be strange if medi-
cal science did not make some progress.
The telegraph and telephone, the
photograph, the electric light-all were
once impossible, and once it was i'm
possible to cure consumption. That
was before the time of Dr. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. Taken accord
ing to directions, this standard remedy
will cure 9S per cent. of all cases of con-
sumption. Consumption is caused and
fostered by impurity in the blood-sure-
ly, certainly cured by the "Medical
Discovery" 1t builds up solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength.

attack Gabuqito, although the Cubans
were strongly intrenched.
Segura's plan was to storm the place,

Cubans greeted the Spaniards with
such deadly fire from rifles and Hotch-
kiss guns that they retreated in great
disorder. Segura rallied his men and
another charge was made. but the fire
of the Cubans did such execution that
the Spaniards were again driven back.

another attack. and withdrew. 1t is

Spanish loss was nearly 300 killed, and
about 400 wounded. Among the killed,
