Students from all Around the World.
 Probably no institution of learning known to the history of the world has had career of such remarkable and uniform success as Eastman Business College, Foughkeepsie, New York. During more than thirty years its doors have never been closed-and perhaps never will be; for it is 8 fact that most of the civilized countries of the world contribute to it's patronage Within a few months students have entered the school from almost every one of our own states including Texas, Idaho. Wy oming and California; from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colomb bia, Venezuela and Ecuador; from Ontario and Quebec; from Cuba, San Domingo Porto Rico and St. Thomas; from B, g land, Switzerland. Morocco and Japan Between 35, 900 and 40, GOO students have availed themselves of it's advantages, many of whom are among the most prominent merchants and fnanciers in the United States to-day.
 The courses of study given include bookkeeping, banking, correspondence, etc., stenography, typewriting, telegra- phy, psnmanship and ths academic branches If for any reason the stu dent cannot leave home to attend school, courses in bookkeeping, short hand, etc.. may be taken by mail. Many young men and women are get ting their education in this way. The real ground of the popularity of the College is the practical character of the training afforded The young men and women who have completed its course of study are we'll prepared to fill credita- bly almost any position in business house. If any of our young friends have not yet been able to make start they should write for the Eastman Cata- logue. It is most attractive and inter- esting publication.

A Greet Magazine Feature.

The Ladies Home Journal has secured what promises to be the great magazine feature of 1898. It is entitled "The Inner Experiences of Cabinet Members Wife" In series of letters written by the wife of a Cabinet member to her sister at homo, are detailed her actual experiences in Washington, frankly ard freely given. The letters were written without any intention of publication. They give intimate peeps behind the curtain of high officials and social life. They are absolutely fearless, they study Washington life under the searchlight as it has never been before presented. The President and the highest officials of the land, with the most brilliant men and women of the Capital, are seen in the most familiar way. As these are all actual experiences the name of the writer is withheld. The letters will doubtless excite much shrewd guessing by readers and study of internal evidence to discover the secret. The Experiences" which will be beautifully illustrated, begin in the December number and will continue for several months.

AN ITEM OF INTEREST.

An Item ofInterest from East NorwaIk
 May Explain Why the Reader Knows
 Considerable and Does Not Know
 Everything.
 What we acquire easily we generally part with readily; what costs us physi- cal or mental effort we, as rule, hang on to tenaceously. No one is a better authority on this question than our pub- lie school teachers. Many 8 time it must have puzzled thsm what to do with a great many of their pupils. how to get knowledge into their heads is the difficulty, but once in, if they examine the thick skulled receptacles of their pupils they will find solid and substsn- tial reason why the knowledge cannot get out. It is the same with Doan's Kidney Pills; how to account for the work they do is puzzier, but every man who uses them can always give solid and substantial reasons for his es- timste of their merit. MT F. s. Lyon, of 22 High St., E. Norwalk, Conn, an ex-teacher who was in harness for near ly quarter of & century in that city says: "A slight urinary trouble accompanied by backache attacked me from the re- suit of 8 cold which I caught at an en- tertsinment about two years ago. It hung for few days and looked around for some medicinal preparation which would remove it. After reading quite 8 few testimonials about panacess and cure alls for the kidneys, I selected Doan's Kidney Pills It did not require a box to remove all the difficulty. I have heard in Norwalk of over score of people who have used this remedy and ot tained the same result as I have obtained"

Tho fact that the wife of Post master E. T.
