Mr.. BRYAN STILL insists that the
platform, that was repudiated in
1895, shall be reaff,rmed by the next
National convention. Mr.. Bryan
well knows that the abandonment Of
1910 / means the abandonment Of
BRYAN and Organism, ahd he would
rather see the democratic party plac-
ed between the devil and the deep

Fay Your Small Bills.

Selected.
Men who would never think of al
lowing note or large account to
stand open arc too frequently careless
In regard to small accounts. After
all, saws writer in one Of the trade
journals, we are judged by small
things. and what good is it if man
meets his bank obligations promptly
and he causes number OF people to
whom he owes petty accounts to go
about talking Of how hard it is to get
him to pay up. Be as particular about
the little accounts as the big ones. Do
not snub collector because he calls
for a small account when it is due.
1t is your fault that he has to call.
Some people resent either being
drawn upon or called upon for small
bill. They forget it is the other man
who has to stand the expense and
trouble CT collecting. Be also as
prompt III collecting your own &C
counts as in paying others. If the
losses made each year by small debts,
neglected because they are small,
could be recovered, there would be
handsome dividends In businesses.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, Group, whooping
cough and Influenza. It has become
famous for its cures OF these diseases,
over a large part Of the civilized world.
The most faiterlng testimonials have
been received, giving accounts of its
good works; OF the aggravating and
persistent coughs it has cured; of
severe colds that have yielded prompt
~ to its soothing effects, and OF the
dangerous attacks of Group 1t has cur
ed, often saying the lie of the child.
The extensive use of it for whooping
cough has shown that it robs that dis
ease Of all dangerous consequences.
1t is especially priced by mothers for
their children, as it never fails to effect
Il speedy cure, and because they have
found that there is not the least danger
i'll giving it, even to babies, as it con-
tains nothing injurious. Sold by E. T.

TOBACCO AND HEALTH.
Result of Scientific Investigations a.
to the Effect Of the Weed.

Result of Scientific Investigations as
to the Effect of the Weed.
The vice of smoking (if it be vice. is
thought to be rather decreasing in Rus
STA. Certainly there is very general
Impression that the number of non
smokers now met with is considerably
greater than it was a few years ago,
when smoking was practically univer-
sal among the so-cal!ed upper classes.
DR.. Mendelssohn publishes a number
of observations which he made few
years ago upon the effect of smoking
on the health of students, and the sta
tistics he gives are not without interest.
In 1890 a circular form was sent to
every student in the Army Medical
academy in st. Petersburg and in the
archaeological institute, containing
large number of questions which the
students were asked to answer, and
1.O71 replies were received. Among the
medical students 54.66 were found to
be habitual smokers and among the
archaeological students only 47.18. Jul
.enile smokers must be common in
Russia if we are to accept the table of
returns of the age at which these stu
dents begin to smoke. Two were re-
turned as beginning the habit at the
age of six years, three at the age OF nine
years, II at the age of ten years, five
at the age of II years, 81 at the age OF
IL years, and so on, the maximum being
reached at the age Of II years.
The average number of cigarettes
smoked daily by a medical student was
| 1864, and by a chronological student
22s9 Oussian cigarettes are more than
half paper mouthpiece, and therefore
much smaller than English cigarettes).
But the most interesting figures are
those which deal with the effect Of
smoking on the health. Of the smokers,
! 1900 per cent were found to have some
affection of the respiratory tract, while
only 1860 per cent. of the nonsmokers
were so affected. In regard to diseases
of the alimentary tract the figures were
respectively 11.ss and 9.92 per cent, and
of both tracts combined SIT and 3.22
per cent. In every case the smokers
have the higher percentage. Turning
to the effect of the age at which the
habit was begun, it was found that
those who had acquired the habit be-
fore the age of 16 years gave higher
percentages of illness 19.05, 1909 and
1869 in the above three groups) than
those who began at or after that age
GAIT, 11.34 and sc respectively. An
/ other table shows the deleterious effect
of inhaling the smoke when smoking;
inhalers give percentages of illness Of
1914, 1872 and 9.25 respectively, as
compared with 1888, 7.69 and use
among those who did not inhale. Some
other tables complete the article, which
closes with some pia desiderata, more
particularly as to the need of instruct
ing the youth of the day in the harmful
ness of smoking. There is, of course
nothing new in the figures or in ths
conclusion they point to, but they serve
to emphasize the long since admitted
fact that smoking is to certain extent
harmful habit, especially in the young
London Lancet.

The Literary Labors Of Genius.
Northwestern Advocate.

Northwestern Advocate.
Scott is said to have written "Wav-
er'y" in less than six weeks. He
wrote very rapidly, seldom revised, and
as consequence, his novels are full OF
blunders, inaccuracies and anachron-
isms.
Burns committed his poems TO
memory as he composed them, and
when he sat down to write he had be-
fore him no labor OF composition, but
only the task Of writing down what he
had already finished.
Gibbon. devoted over twenty years OF
his life to the labor of reading for and
writing the decline and Fall" It Is
one of the most stupendous literary
feats ever accomplished by the labor OF
one man.
Thomas Moore often wrote a short
poem almost improptu. He consumed
over two years in reading and prepar-
ing material for "Lallah Rookh," and
two years more In writing that inimit-
able poem.
Emerson is reported often to have
spent from six months to a year-fH
the composition of one or two short
essays. His object was the condensation
of the greatest possible into the fewest
number of words.
Froude passed seven years In collect
ing materials in writing his History
of England" He was very careful in
the selection of data, and spent whole
days in the effort to verify single fact
or citation.
One of Millions biogrophers says
that nearly 20 years elapsed between
the sketching out OF the plan of "Par-
adise Lost" and the completion OF that
work. The actual labor of compost
ton was condensed into two or three
years.
Dickens says, in the introduction to
David Copperfeld," that he spent
two years in the composition of that
story. He did not usually require so
long a time, many OF his novels be-
ing finished in less than a year and
most-of his shorter stories in few days.
| George Elliot is said to have written
"Mlddlemarch" in four months. Some
doubt is thrown upon this statement
by the fact that she commonly work
ed slowly, writing with great care and
deliberation, and making few erasures
after her work was done.
Bancroft devoted nearly 80 years te
his "History of the United States
! which is not history of the United
States at all, since it ends where the
history of the country properly begins
Had the work been continued on thu
SINE scale down to the present, Is o.
80 volumes would have been required
Mrs. Clark required 16 years to pre-
pare the "Concordance to Shakes
peare."
Cruden labored 10 years on hi
concordance to the Bible," and i'm
mediately after its publication wa
sent to lunatic asylum. He neve
entirely recovered from the menta
disease induced by this gigantic under
taking.
Buckle devoted nearly 20 years t,
the collection of materials for his ellis
tory of Civilization" He wrote onl.
a portion of the introduction, which
remains great monument to his lit
erary and philosophical teachings. I
the work had been finished on tn
same scale as begun, a hundred volu
mes would not haye sufficed.
