Thursday forenoon was devoted to cleo

The Nearer World.

When in the year 326 B. G. Alexander
the Great staid his eastward march in In
dia and turned his course t.e@n the Indus
to seek the sea, a boundary line was set
which proved to mean for the history OF
the human race more than any ever Great
ed by the act of man, says Benjamin Idle
Wheeler in The Atlantis The eastern
boundary of Alexander's empire, running
from the .Iaxartes river southwark along
the Pamir ranges, 1.-The roof of the world, -
TO the Indus, and then on to the Indian
ocean, divided the world and its history
into two utterly distinct parts.
The part which lay to the east, with It's
two great centers, India and CHM, and
which today includes little over half the
population of the globe, had no part nor
share In the life and history Of the western
part, which we call our nearer world.
All the elements within this nearer werld,
stretching from Afghanistan and Persia
to the shsres Of western Europe, have in
the long process Of mixture and fermenta-
ton which history has suffered since Alex
ander's time yielded their contribution,
small or great to the civilization upon
which our modern life is based. The his
tory which we study, whether of events,
institutions, ideas Or religions, has been
all q history Of the nearer world.

months she lost twenty three pounds.
we did everything possible for her,
and she had the best of medical treatment.
Several skilled physicians attended
her, but no benefit was apparent.
A family friend visiting is, told how
her daughter had been similarly affected,
bot cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"She urged Us to try the pills, and We
finally consented.
I'VE have always rejoiced that we did.
The pills helped Lucy at once, and
after taking eight boxes she was entirely
cured.
"She is now IN perfect health, strong,
weighs ten pounds more than ever before,
and her cheeks are full of color.
Two years Of schooling were missed
on account Of Ill health, but now she can
crafty her ambition to study and become
an educated woman"
The reason that Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People were helpful in the above
case, is that they are composed Of veeeta-
bic remedies which act directly on the
impure blood, the foundation Of disease.
As the blood rushes through ali parts
OF the body, the eonveyer Of good or bad
health, It Is neeessafy that it should be
pure, rich and red.
d.. Williams Pink Pills build Up the
blood by supplying its life giving elements
which nourishes the various organs, slim
ulating them to activity in the perform
ancs OF their functions and thus drives
disease from the system.
The pills are In universal demand aad
sold by ali druggists.

Good VIII to Others,

Poor human nature, SO sadly twisted
by the fall, is ever ready to believe
evil, and this is often true of the very
ones we justly regard with contempt,
and David did not err when he prayed
that he might not be delivered into the
hand of man. When we have to dc
with God, we may confidently rely
upon His holiness and His mercy, but
when we are concerned with man. and
much of our happiness and usefulness
are in a measure dependent upon our re-
lations with our fellows, we shall be
wise to depend but little upon either
their equity or their gentleness when
we desire their good will.-Episcopal
Recorder.

and Irish flags.
Mrs. Lake gave very spirited and in
teresting lecture on temperance. Several
solos were rendered by Miss Hall, and at
the close the convention sang "God be
with US till we meet again. and the bene-
diction was pronounced.
CONVENTION NOTES.
At the evening meetings at the church
there was very fine music by the choir.
Altogether the convention was pro-
nounced one of the most successful that
has ever been held.
During the convention a large number
of visitors were introduced, among them
being clergymen of nearly every denomi-
nation, showing the union to be nonsec-
tartan.
The committee on resolutions reported
resolutions on enforcement of law. purity,
reformatory prison for women, memorial,
thanks, and several minor matters.
One little incident was so misrepresented
by some of the papers that it may be
mentioned here. Mrs. V. Goss, of Ston-
Ing 10 equity vi iIle
mercy department., and she called atten-
ton TO the cruelty practiced in securing
the aigrettes " hich are so much worn on
hats and bonnets (many We're worn at the
conventionl. This raised a discussion on
ostrich tips, as some claimed that cruelty
was practiced in obtaining these, while
others thought the birds We're not hurt IN
the process. Two or three of those pres
ent testified that they knew the ostrich
suffered greatly in losing their plumage,
whereupon Mrs. Goss, who wore them
herself, declared she would remove them.
Later she asked the president: "Shall /, or
shall / not, remove my tips?o "Do you
want an expression of the convention?"
asked Mrs. Stevens. YES" was the re-
ply. A vote called for resulted in an over
whelming majority for removing the tips,
as Mrs. Goss had spoken strongly against
cruelty to other birds, and Mrs. Stevens
as usual in declaring the vote said: at is
so ordered" and before the next session
the offending trimming was removed. 1t
appeared in one of the dailies that some
discussion was had concerning ostrich tips
and one woman was ordered to remove
them from her hat, no other particulars
being given. EGO.

II Is important that the nerves are care
fully guarded. Mothers who have young
daughters CT school age should watch their
health more carefully than their studies.
The proper development Of their bodies
is OF first importance.
After the confinement OF the school
room, plenty Of outdoor exercise should
be taken. 1t is better that children never
learn their a, b, e's, than that by over
study they lose their health.
All this Is self-evident. Everyone ad-

The Thinking Post.

The thinking post" was a droll
conceit of the English wit, Sidney
Smith. Not far from his gate he had a
post set, at which every one going out
was to stop and think whether he had
left anything behind. Some thinking
posts we need very frequently in life,
where there shall be some pause for re-
Election The best thinking post given
to any of us is the divine ordinance of
the Sabbath, with it's frequent returns,
its cessation Of toll and withdrawal
from the world, and its appearance in

The article in the October .Scribner's
on the BATTLE OF San JUAN, by Richard
Harding Davis, is not only vivid de-
scription OF that famous victory, but a
complete and careful analysis Of the con-
duct OF the whole Santiago campaign
He points out with perfect clearness the
problems involved, shows the lack of ade-
quate preparation, and says that the final
success obtained was due solely to the
splendid and persistent valor OF the troops
who fought under the most trying and
discouraging conditions, combined with
the destruction of Cervera's fleet by the
navy. Mr.. Davis places the blame where
he believes it is due, and at the same time
gives all credit to the men who did the
real work. 1t is a deliberate and eouscien-
tious history Of he campaign. and worthy
OF permanence as a record. The iilustra-
tions are from photographs and drawings
of actual scenes.
