A PROSPEROUS INSTITUTION.
Every Competent Student is Being
Placed I'm Profitable Position
by the Chambersburg Busi-

HESS 1OilSSe.
The above is a fourishing in
stltution, located in our city,
where students are carefully in
structed in Bookkeeping, Bank
ing, Pea manship, Shorthand, Type
writing, Reporting Business
Arithmetic, Rapid Calculation,
Gramma Co espondence, Pune
tuation, Spelling, Commercial
Law, Civil Cove 'oment, Business
Forms and Customs, Office Prac.
tice, etc. The instruction given
is of the very best and it can be
obtained at the least possible cost,
as the rates Of tuition are among
the very lowest. 1t is one of the
very few institutions that has a
UNIVERSAL RATE OF TUITION. II
is the best institution of the kind
in this section of the country
The authorities OF the school
make no pretensions whatever.
The school is successfully loca-
ting all it's competent students.
Some former students are now
holding such positions as Teller,
Superintendent, Business Mana
ger, Secretary, Treasurer, etc. OF
different companies,-a number
are Public Stenographers and
Notaries Public. Many are loca.
ted in such cities as Harrisburg,
Hagerstown, Chester, Baltimore,
Vineland, Philadelphia, New York
Pittsburg, Chicago, etc. One of
last years students is now con-
tractor with large bridge COM
pany and is getting along excel
leutly.
Mr.. RipLa, The principal and
owner, last yea, succeeded in
doubling the actenla ace of the
previous year, and prospects now
lavor la ge increase his year
over that of last.
It's corps of teachers is of the
best, and it's course of study is
thorough and complete. It's sys-
tenn of Bookkeeping is one OF the
most reliable and practical. The
Shorthand course is one that is
practical, safe, and systematic.
The instructors are always eager
and zealous to impress on the
mind of each and every udent
the requirements of business life.
The Universal Dictation Course,
which was added tothe Shorthand
course last spring, is a decided
success. Most schools do not
have this course, as it is compar-
atively new in the East. 1t en-
ables the pupils to reach a high
rate of speed in very short time.
A student last spring completed
the entire Shorthand course, by
the aid of this Dictation course,
IN less than three and. one-half
months. The young lady is a Pub
lie Stenographer in this city.
The Illustrated College Journal,
recently issued, is very neat and
attractive literature. Anyone in
terested in a business or short
hand education should procure a
copy. 1t will interest you in a
school where the very best educa-
tion can be Obtained at least pos
sibly cost.
Fall term opens Sept. 2nd.
You should enter as soon as pos
sible.
Any firm desiring competent
office assistants can procure same
by calling on or addressing the

VIVISECTION IN ENGLAND.

License System Places Little Restraint
on the Practice.
From the London News
1t would be absurd to pretend, after
perusing the annual return presented to
parliament under the vivisection act, re-
cording the number of licenses granted and
the number of experiments carried out by
licenses during the past year. that the
ViV1sect1on act places any considerable
cneck on the practice of vivisection in
England Licenses, we are told, are only
given on the recommendation of persons of
hlSn scientific standing. But the medical
PROFESSION Is so admirably organized that
there Is no practical difficulty in any med
lcal man of standing obtaining a recon-
mendat1on from the heads of the profess
slon Ihe total number of licenses In 1900
was 247, and in scanning through the names
OF tnOSe who recommended them We find
the same supporters repeated so often as
TO preclude the possibility Of any close in
Vestlgatlon of the claims. 1t Is quite clear
from the nature of the certificates and the
reasons put forward for granting them that
V1visection for teaching purposes, as well
as for scientific research. has become the
rule In English schools of medicine.
An even more serious fact about the fig
ures In the return is that the number Of
cases OF yivisection without anaestheticS
far exceed those in which anaesthetics are
uSeu. ne proportion Is ABOUT 10 OR,
In round figures, 1854 to 1855. There has
been an Increase of 2141 in the operations
without anaesthetics in the course Of the
past year. Our kindly inspector, who must

hearsay, cherishes a friendly belief that in
most of these cases the animals suffer lit

which are at once the most defensible and
the most profitable forms of experimental
tion on the living animal. But we note
that even among the 1,SS5 cases where
anaesthetics are used there are $50 where
the operator is permitted to let the animal
live after the operation These cannot be
called true 'anaesthetic" cases. The fact,
then, revealed by the return is that the
use OF anaesthetics In vivisection is avail
able in little more than tithe of the cases
and may virtually be put aside in consid-
ering the question. The plain and awful
fact Is that during lastyear over 10000 ami
mails were done to death, mostly under cir
cumstances of exquisite and prolonged tor
ture, to profit human beings The time is
past when doctors can defend all this with
a conspiracy Of silence and contempt. If
We are to submit to this rapid spread Of
vivisection with a clear conscience we re-
quire far fuller proofs of it's necessity than
we possess at present.

Growth of American Shipping.


At the meeting of the Manchester Ship Ca
nal Company. held at Manchester, ]. K Bly,
thell, who presided. said the most impor-
tant event had been the acquisition of fur
ther land for dock extension. The augmen-
tation Of traffic would before long depend
upon their being able to give It dock ac-
commodation at Manchester. The United
States had hitherto not been prominent in
the steamer world except for their own
coasting trade but their competition in
general shipping would now have to be
reckoned with. He considered that it was
more than likely that before long they
would see a very large proportion Of the
shipment Of American products carried by
American vessels. and they might depend
upon it the tendency would be to build
large steamers. The only limit to the size
Of those very large vessels would be the
capacity Of the docks to accommodate
them and to provide cargoes when the yes
sells were on berth. The introduction OF
these large vessels would necessitate in
creased dock accommodation They in
tended deepening the access channel Of the
canal to the extent of four feet, and the
cost OF that work would be $4,000 The
deepening of the canal proper would also
have to be undertaken before long. When
that had been done they would be euuipped
for full share OF the North Atlantic trade,

WELTEVREDEN, Java.
I want to tell you something about the

most lovable of all colored races outside
of Japan, and even more quaint than the
Japanese. There are twenty-five million
of them on this little island, and they are
swarming about me / make notes under
the shade of the palm trees. My seat looks
out on the wide canal which runs through
Weltevreden. 1t is walled with brick, but
at every few feet there are stone steps
leading down into the water, and in each
o. these places Jayanese girls are standing
waist-deep in the canal washing themselves
or their clothes.
They are a cleanly people. Every Jaw
anese takes his bath night and morn
ing and the bright cottons they wear
are frequently secured. The little girls
down there in the water have bag-lille
skirts or sarongs wrapped tightly about
their plump bodies just under the arms,
and the rich golden brown of their Shout
