A difficult piece of investigation has
been carried through, with interesting
results, by the superintendent of the
Hirsch Trade School, says the Jewish
Messenger A census Of the graduates
of the last three years shows that OF
70 per cent whose course 1t has been
possible to trace more than two-thirds
are to-day successfully engaged IN
practice Of mechanical trades. This
demonstration of the values of tht
school method has the added Import
ance of disposing finally of the conten
ton that Russian Jews are not apt
material for artisans. Intelligent
choice Of the branches taught and q
rigorous insistence on good workman

that a taste of the sturdy independence
of such a career will forever preclude

SHE SUCCEEDED.
How Queen Victoria Rem embered an
Old English Lady.

An old lady in rural England sur
prised her friends by announcing at
table one night that she would go to
London in June to see the jubilee pro-
cession Some of her relatives warned
her of the burdens of age and failing
health, but she would not listen to
their objections.
Il know" she said, that | am
eighty-t three, but l was in Westminster
and l shall go UP to London to see the
jubilee parade"
The DIRECTORS shifted their ground.
They mentioned the high prices which
windows and platform-seats were al
ready commanding, and suggested that
she was hardly rich enough to hire
any place along the six-mile route.
II shall arrange that little detail"
she replied confidently. Il shall write
to the Queen about it. She will know
my name, for it is one of the oldest In
England She will insist upon having
a seat provided for me-"
The old Lads enthusiasm amused her
friends, but she was wiser than they
were She wrote respectful letter to
the queen, rela ting her good fortune in
having been witness to the corona
ton service and also of the first jubilee
festivities ten years ago, and adding
that although she was SO and very
feeble, she was bent upon going up to
London and seeing the second jubilee
show.
The letter was sent to Windsor pal.
ace, and was answered by the Queen
herself with little delay. She was
touched by the old lady's anxiety to
witness the parade, and moreover rec
! ognized the name as one which had
come down from the era of the Norman
Conquest. The reply was cordial and
gracious, and was in the Queens own
| hand. She thanked her correspondent
for the loyal interest displayed, and an
nounced that she had given orders that
window in buckingham Palace
should be reserved for her on the day
of the jubilee parade. She hoped that
one Of the oldest and most respected of
her subjects would live to occupy
seat in the window.
When this gracious letter was re-
ceived the Old lady was triumphant,
and all her friends were called upon
to rejoice with her.

Queen had 4 kind heart. and also a
good memory for a historic name like

this she has endeared herself to ner

little gifts of remembrance, to have the
bad boy approach with some hesitation

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.
Thousands So ffer From 1t at This
Season OF the Year.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recognized
by the following symptoms: Depression of
spirits, heaviness and pain in the stomach
after meals, loss of flesh and appetite, no
desire for food, bad taste in the mouth,
especially IN the morning, wind in stomach
and bowels, irritable disposition, nervous
weakness, WEAKNESS, costiveness, he adache,
palpitation, heartburn. 1t is a mistake to
treat such troubles with ''tonics, blood
purifiers ''cathartics,' pills" because
the whole trouble is in the stomach. 1t is
indigestion or dyspepsia and nothing else.
All these symptoms rapidly disappear
when the stomachis relieved, strengthen ned,
and cleansed by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They should be taken after meals and few
carried in the pocket to be used whenever
any pain or distress Is felt in the stomach.
They are preparedonly for stomach troubles.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are mdorsed
by such physicians as DR.. Harlandson, DR..
Jennison, and DR.. Mayer, because they cum
tain the natural digestive acids and fruit
essences which when taken into TIE
stomach cause the prompt digestion Of the
food before it has time to ferment and sour,
which is he cause OF the mischief
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pleasant to
take and unequaled for invalids, children
and every person afflicted with Imperfect
digestion. 1t is safe to say they will cure
any form OF stomach trouble except cancer
Of the stomach.

STA Tablets, full sized packages at so cents.
