Next he was appointed lecturer mate ria medica and medical botany in Dart mouth College. The next year he was cho- sen profe ssor of the chair then vacated by Professor Bobby, and occupied the chair, the most important one in the country at the time when he first formulated his most remarkable prescription.

When the greatest of modern physicians. after years of practice and close, scientific study. gave to the science of medicine the most wonderful remedy of the present day, a host of imtators sprung up.
 No sooner was it announced that posi- tive cure for nervous ailments an unfail- ing blood purifier, had been discovered by Professor Phelps of Dartmouth and physi- clans everywhere welcomed Paine's celery compound as the most-to-be-desired dis covery of time when modern ways of working and living had begun to multiply diseases that arise from impaired nerves and impure blood
 When a great public demand arose for this remedy from one end of the country to another, at once, as in every such case lot of cheap fellows began to try to i'm pose upon people one and another trade medicine, sometimes harmful, always worthless, claiming for them the unexam- pied properties of Panes Celery Com pound.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured bS the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the valueof obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently.

ground, they have light labors and their
pay goes on at rate' equal to that
which is paid to. the plantation man.
Leaving the matter of compensa ton
out of the question, it is next to- I'M
possible for the farmer to find any one
who will work in his harvest fields, for
the reason that other lines especially
the manufacturing field, have drawn
upon the supply until there is no longer
a contented young farmer class. The
young men seek the city for its va
ried life, for it's opportunities and for
it's amusements, forsaking the business
to which they were born, and yet it is
said here that these very young men.
and the young women who of the same
education and rank follow them, will
come to the isolation of plantation
and work the whole year round, de-
priyed of their accustomed pleasures
and the opportunities for education in
the university settlements and the a.
braries, for the purpose of growing up
with the country.
If the shortage of labor in the older
States was sectional or local to some
one district there might be found d
reason for this abandoning of the farm
for the mill. but it is Widespread. From
the South comes the cali for the Chi
nese to till the fields. From the Middle
States there Is a similar demand that
there be given more men for the fields
and mines, From the West where grain
fields were not reaped as they should
have been and when. and the wheat
was lost often because it could not be
garnered, there is a question as to who
gains by this exclusion of the cheap
workman, and even in California where
the agitation started and gained It's
first life there exists a difference OF
opinion as to the desirability of keep
ing down the supply in the labor mar
ket so that a few may benefit at the
expense of the many.

pie in the face, then. it will be point

RACE LINES AHLOAT

The eagerness of the japanese under
officers on the Maru steamers to get rid
of their white superiors and put the
vessels entirely in Japanese hands is
what might be looked for among peo-
ple whose belief in their intellectual
equality and in their expert knowledge
of whatever trades or professions they
essay brooks no question from the white
race. A trained Japanese navigator
thinks himself the peer of any sailor
afioat and from experience with MIN
under critical circumstances, on dis
tant seas both in peace and war, this
writer is much inclined to think that
he does not overestimate- his powers.
Japanese naval men in education, tech
meal skill. courage and resource are
all that naval men should be, and we
believe the seamen of The merchant ma
rine, barring their attitude toward
white co-laborerS and officers, are
equally competent within their sphere
But the presence of white men, on
ships bearing their flag, and in rela-
tons of command, is keenly resented
by the Japanese. The feeling on the
Maru steamers can be observed by any
steerage disturbance reported else
where it seems to have taken a form
not far removed from mutiny. When
japanese firemen can chase white
steerage passengers about the deck and
threaten their lives and. By the favor
Of native under-officers, escape double

line to interfere and take stern meas
ures to establish discipline.
The reason why the Togo kisen

responsible positions on their trans
Pacific vessels is the very good one
that other white people would not traV-
ell on nor entrust valuable freight to
steamers Differed and manned by
