The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Chief," says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used DR..
Kings New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as in it
we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs, etc."
1t is idle to experiment with other rene
dies, even if they are urged on you as
Just asgood as DR.. Kings New Discovery.
They are not as good, because this
remedy has record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.

The Fireman's Ball.

The sixth annual ball for the benefit of
the Firemen's Relief Association was held
in the Armory Thursday evening. Be-
sides a goodly attendance from this
town there were several couples from
adjacent towns. Eastman's orchestra
furnished excellent music both for the
concert and dancing and the ball was
regarded by the patrons as the best ever
given under the fremen's auspices. 1t is
doubtful if it was a financial success,
though the deficit, if any, will be small.

Too Much Study.

NJ. Berthelot, the famous French scien-
fist, says that children in school should
have twice rs much play as they have
now, with radical change in the charac-
ter of their studies.
In an address before Il scientific body in
Paris NJ. Berthelot said millions of francs
are wasted every year in pouring learning
into sleeves.
According to the educational method
in vogue" said Berthelot, ''most of the
sducation goes in at one ear and out at
the other without leaving any other I'M
preston than mental disgust for further
education. What educators need to do is
to cast aside at once that Ubiquitous insti-
tuition called weekly examination, which
compels the pupil to cram, CRAM, cram.
'In its place should be established q
system of interesting each pupils mind in
particular studies by pointing ont to him
how he individually has IA permanent in
terost in pursuing them and then giving
the pupil plenty of leisure to think over
what has been told him.
There are entirely too many subjects
being taught" says Bcrthclot in cunclu-
sion. Reduce tho number Of subjects of
study, shorten the hours, and if we are to
have examinations let them be DIS brief
and as far apart as possible"

GOIdsmith's Generosity.

A beggar once asked aims Of Oliver
Goldsmith as he walked with friend
up Fleet street, and he gave her shil-
ling. His companion, knowing some-
thing of the woman, censured the writer
for his excess of humanity, saying that
the shilling was misapplied, as she
would spend it for liquor. "If it makes
her happy in any way, my end is an
swered, " replied Goldsmith.
Another proof that the Doctors gen
crosby was not always regulated by dis
erection was at a time when, after much
delay, day was fixed to pay the e40
due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the
money, but a friend calling upon him
and relating piteous tale of his goods
being seized for rent, the thoughtless
but benevolent author gave him all the
money. The tailor called and was told
that if he had come little sooner he
could have had the money, but that he
had just parted with every shilling of it
to a friend in distress, adding, 81 would
have been an unfeeling monster not to
have relieved trouble when il my pow

Out of Three Hundred Accepting Free
Beds Only Five Had 1.-The Price,"
A short time ago curious test was
applied at the London Congregational
Unions Free Shelter For Homeless Men
at Medland hall, IL the east of London.
The object of the test was to ascertain
if the men We're really as ponniless as
they represented themselves to be. The
FREQ shelter is intended for men who
have not the fourpence necessary to pay
for nights lodging elsewhere, and one
night Edward Wilson Gates, the shrewd
superintendent of the philanthropic
work of the union, announced that he
would give siXpence to each man present
who could prove that he had some
money, but less than fourpence. A chuc-
king laugh passed over the 800, that
being the maximum allowed i'll the hall.
"But how shall know that you have
less than fourpence:" asked Mr.. Gates.
"Search u.s." cried the men.
"You really mean it,"
"'Yes.'

him go to the gallery, and guarantee
that he shall not be turned away"
Only five of the 800 went up stairs,
and the others were thoroughly search
ed by experienced men. Two hundred

TREE OF TIBET.


thf SaAfTth NE'hN TIL
Few persons probably have heard Of
the marvellous tree of Tibet. Nevcrthe-
less for long time it has enjoyed
great reputation i'll the east. 1t is sit
cred tree, and fabulous prices We're paid
for few of its leaves.
In his Souvenirs de Voyage au
Tibet" Pere Hue speaks of this Won
derful tree. 1t is essentially of literary
ind artistic turn of mind and has the
strange habit of producing images and
hieroglyphics upon its leaves. Some
times religious figures take the place Of
the letters. Pere Hue called the mystic
rious thing "the tree of a thousand
images. " These images are found on
the leaves on tho stems and on the
trunk. Near the temple of Buddha, in
the village of Liousar, Tibet, this
great tree has stood for years, the plague
and the puzzle of all the botanists who
have ever received the gift of faith.
A great antiquity was given to the
tree; indeed it was claimed that it had
existed from time immemorial. But an
investigation not many years ago proved
the images ON the tree to be fakes. The
trick was simple enough, like every 9th
er trick when it is found out. In the
spring and III the summer on dark
nights lama, endowed with aerobatio
power, with his pockets full of hand
stamps, climbed all through the tree
and stamped the leaves with all sorts of
holy images and characters, the most
numerous being the following formula:
"Om name padone om'' GLORY to
Buddha in the lotus). This is also
stamped upon the bark, and the leaves
and portions of the bark are sold to Wis
itors.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells a
new story about Stephen Massett, so
we'll known years ago as ''Jeems Pipes. :"
When he was the editor of the Marys-
vilIo (Cal.) Herald, Mr.. Hittell, the
well known California pioneer and
author, engaged him i'll argument on re-
igion, which Mr.. Hittell attacked,
finally winding up by saying, See
here, Massett, you ought to get my book
on Evidences Against Christianity
that will convince you"
Every we'll, said Masset, 81 will. J"
So the next time he entered a bookstore
he asked for it. The clerk showed him
the work in two volumes "How much
is it?'' said Mascot.
"Three dollars, :" replied the clerk.
WHAT exclaimed Massett. 'Three
dollars! Take it back, sir, take it back;
