AN ORIENTAL COLLECTION.
Curious objects Given to the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.

New York Tribune.
A temple of the great god Bud has at
last been established in America. but not
for purposes of worship. 1t is in the
museum of the University of Pennsylvan-
la, at Philadelphia, for the edification OF
all who are interested In things oriental.
1t Is almost as complete in every detail
as any Buddhist temple of the far East,
but there are no white-robed priests to
make long prayers to the sacred idols.
The temple and the oriental collection
which goes with it are valued at more
than $780, 600. and have been presented to
the University by Professor Maxwell
Summerville. who has spent many years
in the work of collection.
There are countless objects symbolic of
the various phases Of the religious as well
prize of the collection Is a group of three
idols; the central one is Fudo, accompa-
MED by the youth kongara in red, lean
ing on a staff. on his right, and Seitake.
in an attitude of prayer, op~his left. Fudo
Is represented in the midst of fire. and
a good Buddhist would see in a flash
proof of his invulnerability, his fearless
ness and wonderful unconcern in the
midst of danger. He Is blind in one eye,
but the other was superhuman force.
In Japan there Is a legend that the blind
who approach him with proper prayers
have their sight restored or improved:
The three images were secured by Pro-
fessor Summerville from the Koyasau
-
surrounded by a grove of high trees for
the sight of which mariners often sail
out of their course. The idols were OBJ
tanned with great difficulty and at consid-
cradle expense
The three panels which form a back
ground for the group are beautiful speci-
mems Of Japanese carving Of 800 years
ago. They are known as Rammas and
occupy prominent place in oriental
houses of worship. They are gilded and
lacquered with figures in relief, AMI once
hung in the temple of Nara. The central
Rsnlma Is particularly fine specimen,
showing two angels in the clouds. One
holds aNSho." kind of reed organ, and
the other bears lotos flower. These an.
gels, or heaven dWellers." are believed
to be clad in clean and feathery raiment
and to have their hair ornamented with
lotos flowers which never wither.
One of the most striking objects In the
collection is a sacred white elephant from
the Higashi Hongwanji Temple at Nago-
va. Several of its teeth have been plug
ged with gold to keep away the pain of
possible decay. In Japan each of these
sacred elephar is has a separate apart
ment and nobleman in attendance to see
that every wish is supplied. The figure
now in the Pennsylvania Museum Will
have no noble attendants. but on certain
days in the week the janitor will give
him a careful grooming with a dust brush

OF the first class sent out from Tuske-

accommodated from the prairies. 1t Is
hoped during the present year to add a
dornitory for boys and enlarge and
strengthen the industries.
An excellent address was given to the
graduating class and their friends by
Professor w. p. Paterson of Montgom-
cry The annual visit of the Tuskegee
Brass Band was more enjoyable than
ever and their music was never SO fine.
The singing by the school under the
direction of Miss Katie Bowen was very
inspiring.
A peculiar interest attaches to this
school as 1t Is the beginning of the col
onizing work of Tuskegee, through her
graduates. 1t started in the seventh year
of Tuskegees history, and three years
after sending out the first class. In
1888 this was the only one of these
schools. Now there are sixteen. twelve
of them established wholly by Tuskegee
graduates and the other four by other
parties but afterwdrd reorganized on the
Tuskegee plan by Tuskegee graduates.
These represent eight States. Theirs are
seven of the schools in Alabama, two
each in Georgia and Louisiana and one
each in Florida and South Carolina, Vir-
ginia Tennessee and Kansas. As1ds
from these the State Normal School at
Tallahassee has been reorganized largely
on the Tuskegee plan and put in charge
of a former head teacher of Tuskegee,
and several graduates who have charge
of departments carried on after the Tus-
kegee plan.

to her studies was fast making her an
invalid when Wine of Cardui brought
her back to health. Hers was a case
where prompt treatment resulted in a
quick and effective cure. 1t took Wine
of Cardui Just three weeks TO undo the
trouble that resulted from four years
of abuse. This powerful remedy for
the ills of women never fails as the
repeated cures reported in this paper
will show. Nervousness and headache
are distressing the lives of thousands OF
women who never dream that the whole
trouble can be remedied by treating
their menstrual irregularity. They will
notice that severe attacks came about
the time of the menstrual period. This
should be enough for them. Nature is
giving the warning.
Wine of Cardui banishes nervous
headaches by removing the cause. In
stopping the headaches Wine of Cardui
strengthens the nervous system. II
regulates menstruation, stops bearing
down pains and the drain of leucor-
rhea. This treatment not only stops
the headache, but it relieves every
other racking painful symptom Of
female trouble. Nights of refreshing
sleep take the place of sleepless, rest
less ones.
Write The Ladies' Advisory Depart
ment, The Chattanooga Medicine Co..
Chattanooga, Tenn, and state your
case if you are in doubt, but relief will
be quicker if you go to your druggist
now and secure bottle of Wine OF
Cardui and begin taking it today in
your home.

The Registrars Threatened.

The Selma department of The Adver-

that a good many white men in Bells

West Dallas, was intensely Populistic at
one time. 1t was once a part of Pence

things seem attainable and she bends
every energy to reap knowledge and
gain the coveted class prize. But In
winning the honors of her class many
a girl has lost the great prize of health.
The excitement of examinations and in
,tcrmingling with school mates causes
girls, whether at boarding school or at
home, to forget the precautions of
health. Persistent, hard study, with
loss of sleep, excitement and lack of
proper outdoor exercise will ruin any
girls health.
The hardest school work generally
comes at that age when the girl is least
able to stand the wearing mental strain
and the consequent waste of vital en-
orgy. Thousands of girls are not phys
ically strong enough to withstand the
tax of life full of activity. If they are
