Caesar Borgia has been called ''the
greatest practical statesman of his
age" and in sense the remark is
true, for at time when practical
craftsmanship consisted of every deceit
and every crime, when poison and the
dagger were the usual implements of
policy, and nothing was considered
wrong provided that the object were
attained, no man excelled him in the
arts of public life.-William Miller,

Every man engaged in business, no
matter what the nature of that busi-
ness may be, should use printed sta
tionery. A neatly printed letter head
and envelope Is an assurance to cores
pondents that he Is actually engaged
in business, and besides they cost but
little more than the blank tablets and
envelopes purchased at retail. The
COURIER has complete stock of sta
tionery on hand, and we will be pleased
to supply all demands in this line at
reasonable prices.

Burns, cuts and other wounds often
fail to heal properly if neglected and
become troublesome sores. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve prevents such con-
sequences. Even where delay has ag-

Hazel Salve effects cure. 'T had a

DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A few

have the facilities for self-improvement
possessed by their brothers and sisters in
the city. AT first sight, this may seem to
it opens the doors more widely to the cul-
tivating of individuality and the develop
ment OF faculties which otherwise might
never be brought into play. Being
thrown on their own resources, they are
obliged to be their own teachers, to
arrange their own courses of study, to
form reading and debating clubs among
themselves, and to exercise and strengthen
their reasoning powers by solving their
own knotty problems instead Of having
them solved for them.-Success.

ERUPTION OF KRAKATOA.

Thousands Perished and Twilight
Glow Swept Round the Earth.
The terrible eruption Of Mount Kra-
katoa is well remembered by thousands of
the present generation.
Krakatoa is volcanco on an island of
the same name in the Straits of Sunda,
between Java and Sumatra. Its earliest
recorded eruption was in 1880, The vol
cano then became dormant and stood as
an irregular peak 2,623 feet high until
1888, when there occurred one Of the most
stupendous eruptions ever known.
The eruption began in May and con-
tinued until August q, when large part
of the island was blown away, and frag-
ments OF pumice and dust were thrown
to the height of twenty miles. Gaining
the region OF the upper air currents, the
dust was carried around the entire earth
and produced remarkable twilight CLOVIS
for many months.
The sound of the explosion was heard
at distance Of 2,247 miles The waves
produced in the air travelled four and a
half times around the world. Sea waves
fifty feet high swept the neighboring
shores and smaller waves were observed
on distant coasts over half the globe.
One hundred and sixty three villages
were destroyed and $3.50 human beings
perished
