Rheumatism and the Eyes.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1Sth.-Mr. r. A
Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city whose opinion on Legal
matters is unquestioned, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
a matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight, and further that
there is no case of the kind that can
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for both
statements have living and indis-
putable proof in the person of the
great lawyer himself, who as result
of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
from which he suffered for years, be-
came totally blind.
Physicians. the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured him, restored his sight. drove
away the Kidney Trouble and with it
the Rheumatism and made an all
around well man of him.

st. Jacobs OIL for Chest Colds, Bron-
chItis, Group and Pleurlsy.

81. Jacobs oil for Chest Colds, Bron-
chitis, Group and Pleurlsy.
An outward application for bron-
chial difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough nix
ture, cod liver oil, &c, simply because
1t penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is, as a rule, an accumu-
lation of matter or growth tightly ad-
hered to the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as 1t does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables It to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free .expectoration. Cases
have been known where expectorations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
OIL has been applied. and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir-
ritation Of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the broncha Is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs OIL In cases
Of croop and whooping cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found SUI
perior to any other remedy
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not at
all greasy or oily, as it's name might
imply. For rheumatism, govt, sciat!ca,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,

TWO coMANcHs EvANsElIsTs.

No better illustration could be given
of the manner in which the Indians of
the Southwest are turning into the
straight and narrow path, than little
incident witnessed at Lawton recently.
An Indian, large man of mature
years, Kiowa half-breed, entered. He
was dressed like white man. and
had an intelligent appearance; but he
seemed nervous and i'll at ease about
something. The place was crowded
with a hurrying lot of business men,
anxious to get back to their work.
Heads were turned toward the red
man, as he seated himself at one of the
crowded tables. Finally he seemed to
pull himself together, and raising his
hands above the table, he looked
around the board, saying:
Me Jesus man." He then pro-
ceeded to say the simple words of
blessing the food. The incident
touched all who were present.
There are number of Indian Chris
tians of the Wichita and Comanche
tribes spreading the light of the Cos
pei in the foothills OF the Wichita
mountains. Camp meetings are now
taking the place of the medicine
dances, The Comanches are led by Big
Eagle and his squaw, both converts
for the past five years. They are not
accompanied by any white people, and
carry on their work in simple but
effective manner. Some of the half

PEOPLE AND
EVENTS
PROF. sMEDLEy AND SPELLING.

VnOTs 9WGOLGt NV GGGttNos
Professor Smedley and his assistants
in the department of child study of the
Chicago public schools are trying to
find out why so many children do not
learn 70 spell. That they do not is adj
mitted by the fact of the investigation.
And this admission is doubly interest
ing because 1t comes from Professor
Smedley. Professor Smedley's investi-
cations so far seem to be confined to
physical conditions. He suggests that
improperly fed children have weaker
memories as we'll as bodies. Defective
eyes are also suggested as another rea-
son for bad spelling. The theory is that
the child, not seeing the word correct
ly in the first place, is unable to re-
produce it correctly. In this latter the
DRY there seems to be a point which
the lay mind concerned with results,
and observing that the spelling results
Of, Chicago school training are decid-
eddy poor may reflect upon with prof
it, The old system. by which children
were taught to spell by steady prac-
tice in vocal combining of letters into
words, is regarded as very crude and
bad by the apostles of the new meth
ods." For 1t has been largely super
seeded by what is called "the visual
method" which seems to be that a
child shall first be taught what word
looks like as a whole and then shall
learn to spell it by taking it to pieces
and trying to put the pieces together
again.

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher
was originally built after the visit oil
Empress Helena to Jerusalem. 1t is
supposed to mark the spot where the
body of Jesus lay for three days in the
tomb. 1t is an ugly building of mixed
architecture. surrounded by heavy
dome. Many relics, supposed to have
been connected with the crucifixion,
are preserved in the building, and the
place is one of the most interesting
sights in Palestine. The Latin and
Greek Catholics early began their
quarrels over the right to use the
church. A Turkish guard has been
maintained there for years to keep the
peace.

NEW MOUNTAIN MACHINE GUN
Great Interest Taken In Engine of
War Which VIII Be Tested by
the Army.

Great interest in taken in new
gun built by the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany. 1t is a three-inch mountain gun
of new design, which has now been
presented for test, with a view to it's
adaptation by the army if it shall ap-
pear as superior to other guns of the
same class. The gun is similar in APP
pearnce to the Maxim-N ordenfeldt
mountain gun which has seen such
good service with our troops in the
Philippines, and which was made the
subject of an interesting report by
Capt. George w. Van Deusen, Six
teenth field battery, who went with
the guns from Europe to Manila, and
who is now on duty at Fort Riley.
The gun is smaller than the Maxim
Nordenfeldt gun and the equipme t
complete can be packed on inter-
changeable saddles, an advantage not
possessed by other mountain guns,
which in transportati ton must have
their parts assigned to particular sad
dies.
The gun will be sent to Sandy Hook
for the Ballistic test by the army ord
nance board, after which the whole
equipment will be sent to Fort Riley,
Kan, for the field test under the SUI
pervisiOn of the commanding officers
of the light artillery school. The tests
at Sandy Hook and at Fort Riley will,
however, be under the general direc-
ton of the board of ordnance and fort
ification.

JOKE ON SCIENTISTS.
Minister Tells the Secret of Famouf
CalaveraS Skull.
Los Angeles Preacher Says That r. G.
Scribner Confessed He Started
Scientific Mystery by Deposit
ing the Bones as a Joke.

The solution of scientific mystery
which has puzzled biologists and au-
thorities on the antiquity of man for
35 years was explained the other day
when a minister of Los Angeles, CAL,
confessed that the mystery started as
| practical joke.
In 1866 an imperfect human skull
was found in deposit of gravel, known
to be ancient, in a gold mine in
Calaveras county, Cal.
The latest volume of reports from
the Smiths oman institution contains
paper by Prof. William HI. Holmes,
describing recent researches in refer
ence to this skull made by him and
Prof. w. J. MCGEE. Prof. Holmes eX-
presses doubt, but does not consider
his conclusions decisive. This report
having come to the notice of Rev. w.
II. Dyer, an Episcopalian clergyman
of Los Angeles, CAL, he told the story
which solves the mystery.
In the '7Os he was missionary at
Angeles camp, near which the skull
was found. During that time r. G.
Scribner, who kept a store at Angeles
camp, confidentially confessed to him
tHdC he Hdu coHcel'eu anu cdrI1cu ouI
the joke. He took an old Indian skull,
went to the bottom of the shaft while
the workmen were away and buried it
in the auriferous gravel. There it was
soon found, and the papers were filled
with specula tons of writers as to the
antiquity of man.
CThe above undoubtedly refers to the dis
covery upon which Bret Harte founded his
famous poem in which is related the discus
sion in a scientific society: Upon the
Stanislaw," over the finding of some sup
posed human bones in a mine. When the
discussion is at its height one member de-
clares they are the bones of his mule
which fell into the mine several years be-
fore. Then fight occurs and one of the
specimens strikes Johnson

Our German Trade

Ambassador White has made the
subject of United States trade with
Germany the basis of special report
to the state department. He deals
with the matter broadly and presents
interesting figures. For instance he
shows that in the course of ten years
the United States has advanced from
fourth to first place on the basis of
goods shipped to Germany, the total
value of such goods and natural prod
ucts in 1900 being $266,75O, 400 The
United States thus stands far above
any other country in this trade. On
the other hand, in the matter of goods
imported from Germany, the United
States has stood in third place with
out change for the ten years, the value
of the imports in 1900 being $104,-
4S2, 900.
