lifelong study of the creates, ply
stefan America has produced, man
whose reputation was worldwide
years before he had ever arrived at
this formula which has done so much
good; q man who has received the
highest degrees from the best colleges,
who was at the time of his discovery
professor at Dartmouth and lect-
urer in other universities, q scholar,
member of family which has
made its mark in every department
of public life in America. 1t is a
remedy the formula of which has
been furnished to physicians in good
standing always, and which physi-
clans were prescribing long before
the present manufacturers put it up
for public distribution it was dis
covered by Prof. Edward E. Phelps,

scribed with wonderful success by
that eminent group Of practitioners
who have made American physicians

he was then as now, undoubtedly
the most famous.

There is no denying the serious
fact that there is a great amount of
sickness from the grip that over
worked men and women now suffer
more than at any other time OF the
wear from lasstude, headaches, slight
chills and fever and other symptoms
of imperfect health that people fall
sick more readily now than at any
other time of the year and that when
ever an epidemic does appear it in
variably plays havoc with those who
are run down and out of condition.
The utmost caution should be tax
en- to keep the blood pure and the
nervous system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the
prevalent symptoms Of stagnant, inn
pure blood in the body than there is
for the barbarism of filthy streets in
city
The relaxed and sluggish action
of the excretory organs loads the
body with waste material that pois-
ons it and brings on headaches, rheu-
matte pains, sleepless nights and
proftless days, due solely to the cir
culation in the blood, or deposits in
the tissues, Of those waste matters
which Paines celery compound alone
will quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back fee

brings on Bright's disease, gravel

ponds upon the purity of the blood
Prompt use of Paine's celery com
pound will save the weakened part
from yielding to disease.
In it's peculiar ability to invigorat
the body, to make new blood and t
regulate the nerves, lies the grea
value of Paine's celery compound i
all wasting diseases and disorders {

QUEER NEW SOCIETIES.
Institutions of Recent Formation
That Have Extraordinary Objects.

From the London Mail.
Many societies with the most outlandish
objects have from time to time been found
ed. Here are a few cases of recent growth
in London and elsewhere.
y lady of means living in a large provin-
cial town quite recently founded q select
society for providing the working classes
with cheap, moral literature" That the
specimens of work turned out by this socie-
ty are moral there can be no question; that
they are cheap must be conceded, for they
are given away; but that they are literature
may be open TO grave doubt.
The really extraordinary feature of this
society appears in the fact that not only is
the literature given away, but the articles
of the society provide that all profits ac-
cruing from the sale of the society's pam
phlets are to be devoted to the founding and
maintenance of a society for the protection
of domestic servants
Thus one thing leads to another, or would
lead if the moral literature sold. As it is,
it is merely distributed to small tradesmen,
who wrap 'ha porths of tea and sugar i'll
the pages for the moral elevation of their
customers. Every week a fresh budget Of
the literature from the pen of the So
cietyS founder is distributed free among
the tradespeople round about.
Another society has been formed by three
or four ladies for the purpose of providing
boys over the age of thirteen with boxing
gloves. The object sounds bellicose, but
really IL was most p3Clllc, the society DelnS
impressed with the belief that if street boys
were given more facilities for fighting with
their fists. the use of knives and granite
stones would eventually be numbered
among the dead arts.
Therefore to encourage lighting with fists
and at the same time TO minimize the facial
damage which results from bare fsticuffs
the society suggested the distribution of the
softesr and most innocent of boxing gloves.
Numerous meetings of the society were
held but II never got beyond suggestions
and so grand boxing contests at street cor
ners are still things of the untamed future
The courage of some people is really stu
peudous, Fancy sweet little society of
eight mortal beings having for its object
compulsory arbitration in internationa
disputes Yet such society was actually
founded and with no intention of being

EXPLANATION OF "sIRDAR."

interesting Items Concerning the
Egyptian Title borne by Kitchener.
From the Chicago Times Herald
In the flood of news which came in daily
over the wire recently about Fashoda there
was constant reference, an iteration and
reiteration of one word which, while per-
sens who read might surmise it referred
probably to title, yet had no positive
proof of exactly what it meant. That one
word was invariably prefiXed to Sir Her
bert kitchener's name-the sirdar. Now,
what meant this word sirdar?
A quarter of century ago, or there
aboutS, at the time when Great Britain,
by right of might, and not for any other
reason, occupied Egypt and took the sui
tan's khedive under its tutelate, ons of its
hrst acts was to reorganize the Egyptian
army British officers were sent to Egypt
and placed at the head of native troops.
These officers drilled the troops, taught
them the manual of arms and gradually in
stilied in them that same esprit de corps
ana enthusiasm which makes the British
army itself such compact and formidable
body. 1he native troops were allowed to
retain their colors, their flags and insignia
ana all the paraphernalia of war distinc-
tNely the attribute of an unconquered peo-
pie British statesmen went further. They
even allowed the same military titles to
remain. 1t was a tactful thing to do.
Britain lost nothing thereby. and the Egyp-
lidH WdiIlofS retained all that was Sentl-
mentally sacred to them
mus, therefore, the very ancient words
slrdar, bimbashi, jougoul, etc, remained
IN the army. The sirdar Of the Egyptian
army is the general in chief The bimbashi
is major, the jougoul a captain. Sirdar,
literally 1t means officer is as old an eX-
preston almost as the country of the
Pharaohs itself. In Arabic the word means
mead man There needs be little stretch
OF the imagination to see how the term
came to be given to the commandant of the
Egyptian forces.
Sir Herbert Kitchener is the second sir
oar OF Egypt, the first to bear that name
being Maj. Gen. Sir Francis Wallace Gren-
tel: Sir Herbert Kitchener became srdar
IN 1870 1t is not a generally known fact
that he was a fellow student of the late
prince imperial at Woolwich Military Acad-
envy. Born i'll 1850, he was, so to say,
brought up in barracks. His father Gen.
Hotatlo kitchener, was a soldier, and the
future nero of Omdurman dreamed of sol
dleIlng in earliest hoyhood. County Kerry,
ireland, was his birthplace, and on the
downs near Crotta House, his home when a
lad, fine old mansion on the road to Ira
lee the battle of Omdurman was really
fought
He thus possesses British teracity and
irlsh pngn*city. And only forty-eight!
what great eminence may he not then
reach!
