neuralgia set in on me and got so poor
and weak that l could hardly walk
couldn't work any. My husband re-
ceived book through the mail, adver-
Using your medicine, and he sent our
little boy to the drug store to get one
of your ten-cent bottles. l began to
use it. 1t is strange to say, but it's The
truth, the second dose took gave me
lots of relief. l kept on using 1T till
used it nearly one year and now l am
nearly as strong as l used to be and can
do any kind of work. l recommend it
to all, for it seems to me it would cure
anybody. l have gotten several to use
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and they
all say it has done them so much good.
God bless DIR. Caldwell and his medicine
for doing me SO much good.

Helen Keller.

ffelen Keller, the deaf mute, whose
 attainments rival those Of Laura Bridgeman, in whom Charles Dick ens took so much interest, has re- gently passed with henors the en- trance examination of the Women's Annex of Harvard University, under conditions precisely the same as those governing other candidates. Her con- quest of physical disabilities is little short of marvellous, as she taught her. self to speak in fashion understood by her friends. She is also a skilled typist, and the questions in her exam ination were answered by her on typewriter. Athletic, too, form a large part of her daily life, as she is a skilled cyclist-a tandem, of course-horse- woman, senlIer and swimmer. Amongst the subjects of her studies are Latin, Greek, algebra and geometry. Alto- gether, her case is one of remarkable interest, as, even supposing her to be exceptionally gifted, it would seem possible to develop the faculties of deaf mutes to greater degree than has been supposed.

Women Geniuses.

Many of the most useful novelties of the day were evolved by women. Silk weaving was invented by the wife of the fourth Chinese emperor; bronze work by a Japanese woman; the weav- ing of cashmere shawls by woman of the Indian harem, and the lost secret of Venetian point lace was rediscov- cred by an Italian woman. Harriet Hosmer invented a way to make mar hIe from limestone. Mrs Strong, who began by inventing a corset, ended by taking out patents for dams and reser- voirs. A woman invented a satchel bottom paper bag and was offered $20,- 900 for her patent before leaving Washington. A Texas woman invented digging machine; an English woman horseshoe; Florida woman rail- road car, and an Illinois woman car heater

Old Hudson Bay Receipts.

Among some curious records Of the Hudson Bay company are receipts which read as follows. Received per LapWing, Jane Goody, as per invoice, in good condition" Received per Os- prey, Matilda Timbins. Returned per Lapwing, as not being in accordance with description contained in invoice. !" These belong to pioneer times, when white men who settled in new parts Of the country were either obliged to re- main bachelors, marry squaws or send east for wives, trusting to the judg- ment of the company to select them and send them out.

THE BISHOP STARTS
OUT AF00T FOR HEALTH.
Head of the Diocese of ID Delaware Sets
Out to Travel Incognito Through
Western Virginia.

Wilmington, LeI., Aug 25.-Rev.
Lelgneon Coleman, Blsnop Cl lne
Episcopal Diocese of D5laWare, wall
make nls annual Iuour al.ol next
moncn. He expects uo leavs home
about September ~, and for tor.nlght
will be out of Nhe whirl of the world.
HIS plans are not yea made, but he
always cakes TO THE mountain districts
and his trip this year will be in West
ern Virginia, West Virginia and Penn
sylVania. In making mis- trip abbot
the Bishop, who is "a large man, al
ways wearing a full beard, CARRIES
his own luggage and walks with "a
staff. He dresses for the conditions
to be met and he STOPS whenever he
gets ipired and whenever it best suits.
His itinerary is made up as he goes
along. 1t depends upon whether he
turns to the right or to the left what
may come to pass.
He has been making these peri
patetic liittue Journeys out of the W rid
for several years, and has a fund OF
anecedote laid by, ready, as espacial
incidents are suggested. He makes
friends with all sorts of people.
The travelling Bishop never fails to
say word to the children of the plain
homes in the mountain or backwoods
districts through which he passes, and
not a man or woman ever declines to
extend to him their plain hospitality.
He has. slept in all sorts of simple
homes and is generally looked upon as
"a delightful stranger, albeit mys-
terious one. He is AN ordinary travel
er when ON his way and his person
ality is never disclosed.
The bishop has been known Ito do
chores in return for kindness EXTEND
ed; has mended clocks and turned his
hand ITO almost anything coming his
way.
The feature of the Bishops annual
jaunt is that he makes no preparations
that are conclusive. He simply, as he
expresses lit, closes his engagement
book and for two weeks it is laid aside.
He takes his staff and his Light lug
gage and goes away AT the end of
the fortnight he comes back rugged
and burned and weather stained. His
step is just as brisk as ever, ansd his
appetite lis keyed Ito the highest pitch.
He finds that total change of living
lis the tonic he needs and he takes it.

Rockefe1ler's Full Dinner Pail.

Let Ills assume" observes the New
York journal, THAT the full dinner
pail is reality and not a myth. Let
us assume that the workingman who
puts in eight or ten hours of exhaust
ing labor a day is really able under
Republican prosperity Ito put two or
three sandwiches, wedge of pie and a
pint of coffee into a tin bucket Under
those conditions the contents of the
full dinnsr pail may bel worth 10
cents.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller has an in
come of about $4O,OOO,0O0 year. That
lis over $l30,OO0 per working day. Mr..
Rockefeller's daily income would fill
the DINNER pals of 100000 workmen
In other works, Republican prosperity
puts Iuhe dinners of 100000 workers
into lone mans modest little pail
''That is the Republican idea of good
times Nine hundred Thousand men
happy and grateful because they can
put Is cents worth of dinner apiece
into their tin buckets, and One man
who absorbs as much from their earn
ings as the cost of the whole 100000
dinners put together.
''There are scores of monopolists
like Mr. Rockefeller, differing only in
degree, and the unearned incomes of
100 of them could probably pay for the
dinners of all the worluingmen in THE
United States. If the policy of favor
ing such concentrations of wealth
were ALTERED, the workers might have
not only full dinner pals, but possibly
some of the little luxuries that Re-
publican policy considers entirely out
of their sphere"
