William Brownlow of the rural free
delivery division will represent the
Postmaster General on the govern
ment board at the Worlds Fair. A
feature of the postal exhibits will be
mutoscope pictures relating to the de-
partment work. Some of these will
give representation of officials at work
on mails Of incoming and outgoing
steamboats, in New York or the Great
Lakes, aud on railway postal trains
going at full speed. Other pictures
will show rural free delivery and col
lection in progress. As this system
has been started since the other expo
sitions have taken place, much inter-
est will be taken in the life-like rep
resentation of this scheme. A strik-
ing contrast will be shown OF the
workings of the greatest post office in
the United States and one OF the
crudest. The former will be shown
by mutoscope with its hundreds OF
employees at work, and latter with its
one postmaster dealing out shoes, etc.
with one hand and stamps and letters
with the other. This crude post Office
will show typical curiosity shop of
shoes, boots, cans of oil, sugar, dyn-
amite and then the post Office proper,
consisting OF dozen or so letter
boxes. The action of the city letter
carrier from the time he leaves his
department. until he is through de-
livering his mail will also be given.
No pains will be lacking in making
these representations of the depart
ment work excellent in every respect.
Many others than those mentioned
will be produced some that will be
strikingly unique. Another exhibit
will be table showing the magnitude
OF the post Office work as compared
with three of the leading foreign
postal countries of the world. It will
show the gross amount of postal reve-
nue., miles of mail service performed,
and pieces of mail matter mailed and
delivered.

James Jeffries, the present champion heavyweight of the world, and his gal lant opponent, Tom Sharkey, in the great est pugiistic encounter that has ever taken place, both pursued much the same course of training, and the first ana most important part of this training was to get the stomach into condition and to keep the digestion absolutely perfect so that every muscle and nerve would De at its highest capabilities.
 This was not done by a secret patent medicine, but both of these great pugilists used a well-known natural digestive taD- let sold by druggists under the name or Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and composed of the digestive ferments which every stomach requires for healthy digestion.
 Champion Jeffries says: "Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets prevent acidity, strengthen the stomach and insure perfect digestion. They keep a man in fine physical condi- ton." Signed, James J. JetIrles' cham- pion of the world.
 The gallant fighter Sharkey, says: Stu nrt's Dyspepsia Tablets remove all dis comfort after eating. They rest the stomach and restore it to healthful con dition. I heartily recommend them' ' Signed, Thomas J. Sharkey.
 The advantage of the daily use of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep people well and ward off sickness, and are equally valuable to well persons as to the dyspeptics. Another advantage is that these tablets contain no cathartics or poi5ons of any character, but simply digestive ferments which are found In ev- cry healthy stomach, and when digestion is imperfect it is because the stomach lacks some of these elements, and Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets supply it.
 They are no cheap cathartic, but per fectly safe and efficient digestive. and the demand for them is greater than the sale of all other so-called dyspepsia cures combined No remedy could possibly reach such a place in public esteem ex- cept as a result of positive merit
 Full-sized packages are sold by all drug gists at 50 cents, and the best habit you can possibly form is to take Stuart Tab let after each meal They make weak stomachs strong and keep strong stomachs vigorous

DISEASE STAMPED
 OUT IN HAVANA
Is Now One of the CleaneSt
 Cities in the World
DECREASE OF MALARIA
By Hard Work Army Surgeons Have Killed Yellow Fever and That Disease No Longer Has
 Terrors for Cubans.

Washington. March 22.-An interesting statement concerning the improvement in the health conditions of Havana since the American occupation of Cuba has been made by the Consular Division of the War Department.
 Particular attention Is paid to the purg- ing of the city from yellow fever during the past year by the destruction of infect ed mosquitoes. It Is of vast importance, the statement says. that these facts should be known to the world extensively and as rapidly as possible.
 During the past forty-five years, with scarcely an exception, some deaths have occurred from yellow fever in every month of the year. Of the years, the maximum was 2O5S deaths, taking place in 1857; the minimum, 51 deaths, In 1S66 with the average 751.
 A marked decrease In malaria also has occurred since the mosquito work be- gan.
 "The army took charge of the Health Department of Havana when deaths were occurring at the rate of 21.252 per year." the statement concludes: Tt gives 1t up with deaths occurring at the rate of 572o per year.
 "It took charge with smallpox epidem- ic for years. It gives it up with not single case having occurred in the city for over eighteen months.
 ''It took charge with a yellow fever epidemic for two centuries. It found Ha- vana feared as a thing unclean by all her neighbors of the United States. and quarantined against as too dangerous to touch, or even to come near anything that she had touched to the untold flnan cial loss of both Havana and the United States It has established the fact that yellow fever is only transmitted by a certain species of mosquitos, discovery that in it's power for saving human life is only excelled by Jenners' great discov- cry and as time goes on it will stand in the same class as that great boon to mankind.
 ''The army has stamped out this dis case in it's greatest stronghold-there having been only five deaths in the nine months of the past year, and no deaths or cases during the last three months of l1.e same year, and it has demonstrated a system by which yellow fever can be certainly controlled without the inter- ference of commerce.

Great Strides of the Prudential.

The proud claim of The Prudential In- surance Company that 1t has the strength of Gibraltar" is amply justified by the figures shown in it's annual state ment just published.
 From these figures 1t appears that no less a sum than $273 GOO. GOO of life insur- ance was written during the year 1901, bringing the total amount of life insur- ance in force up to the astonishing sum of $703,OOO00O.
 The number of policies in force is near ly four and one-half millions or in other words, it may be stated that more than one million families enjoy the benefits of insurance protection through The Pru- dential.
 There is a surplus of nearly S000,00O available to be drawn upon If necessary, and Prudential policy-holders are to be congratulated upon the strength and prosperity of the institution in which they have invested their savings. Write to the home office of the company, New ark. N. J., for information concerning it's policies which fur. ssh guaranteed pro- lection to the family as well as dividends to the policy-holder.

TWO FINE SPECIM EMS
Of Physical Manhood.

No form of athletic exercise demands such perfect physical conditions as prize fighting. Every muscle in the body must be perfectly developed and supple, and the heart, lungs and stomach must act to perfection.
 Whether we endorse prize fighting or not it is nevertheless interesting to krow the manner by which men arrive at such physical perfection.

TENDENCY OF SECONDARY EDUC4-
" 49, 7rlllN.

TENDENCY or SECONDARY EDUG4-
Ton.
q Geo. B. Alton, State inspector Of
high schools in his annual report has
the following to say on the future ten
dency of secondary education:
: Secondary education, that is to saw
the curriculum, is in state Of unrest
the world over, and Minnesota schools
are in the movement. AS long as sec
ondary- education was maintained by
tuition and was confined to preparation
for college, as in the New. England
academy, it was quite possible to get
on Tor a century with a. traditional
course of study. Its Spartan simplicity
and xrigor bred three generations of
men whose superiors as law giverBsand
founders of empire we shall not soon
see. But this system, with all itsc:vir-
tues was narrow and memorable sand
individualistic.> It took no note of tho
needs of the many. The student whose
taste did not conform to the subject
matter taught was dismissed as a
Ounce. The student entered the acad-
envy that he. might enter college, he
entered college that he might enter
profession, he entered a profession that
he might>become distinguished. Even
to this day the graduate of the old
time system recounts with pride the
number of distinguished men his old
academy and college have turned out
rather than the influence his alma
mater has had in shaping our material
welfare and public policy. 49,:
"When secondary education was
established as part of the public school
system it was natural that diversity
of view should arise and that an effort
should be made by means of business
courses, industrial courses, and Eng
lish courses to meet public wishes.
II regard the present disposition to
question our high school courses as an
indication of live public interest
Public interest may contain some de-
structive elements but in the main it
is constructive. The people may at
times be short sighted and mistaken in
their measures, but there is no other
public institution so near the firesides
of" the people and so unhesitatingly
supported as our public schools. Far
from looking with rueful eye on the
constant agitation of high school
courses and instruction I am in favor
of making all promising ventures that,
in the*end, we may hold fast to the
best. For my own part I do not know
what the high school course of the fu-
ture must be; do not know any one
who does know; but I do know that
our high schools are multiplying and
growing, that they are gathering
strength and are storing up traditions
and associations, and that they are
gaining large place in the social and
intellectual life of our communities all
over tie State. 1 have every confidence
that discussion and the exercise of local
choice in its interplay with inherited
preference and state influence will
evoke, if not the high school course of
the future, certainly parallel courses
adapted to the varied tastes and capa-
bilities of the young people who are
tq@proiteby our mistakes and our ef-
forts.
