w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young ;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too. but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

ZEAL WIIHOUT CRAFT.

Some of us who want the beautiful
rock parks reserved and preserved may
be more jealous than crafty in our talk.
We are saying that it was not the orig
inal intention to have those parks
places of resort for the common people.
And we are telling each other how dis
agreeable it would be to have those
parks frequented by the rabble, the I'M
desirable classes, ETC., etc.
OF course such talk as this would be
all right among ourselves, but some of
it has got into the newspapers, and it
seems to be creating the impression
that we regard ourselves as superior to
the common people, the rabble, the I'M
desirable classes, etc, ETC., and that we
look upon our parks as intended espec-
tally for us. Of course we are superior,
and of course we look on the rock parks
as our own, but we ought to be aware
of the prejudice that exists against such
an attitude. OF course the prejudice is
unreasonable. but it is a fact and per-
haps it would be better not to openly
excite. it. Let us Jolly the common
people, the rabble, the undesirable
classes ETC., ETC., and try to make them
think that they can get more pleasure
and health out of the parks by never
seeing them than we can by riding or
driving in, them. Let us not call them
names to their faces, but credit them
with the capacity to enjoy things which
they don't and can't use. That will
make them feel good, and make them
feel so superior to us that they may
generously continue to let us have our
parks to ourselves.

NEW FOG signal.

Consul Roosevelt of Brussels tells the
State department that a new apparatus
for use in a fog has been invented in
Belgium which not only catches any
sound, but fixes the exact direction of
it. The instrument works with the
promptness and accuracy Of a tele-
phone, the slightest sounds being
caught by the acoustic trumpets on the
mast. Experiments have been made in
the North Sea with two steamers, one
furnished with the fog signal and the
other without it. The last was ordered
to give signals with its siren, maneu-
vering now at port, now at starboard.
passing in front of and behind the 9TH
err steamer. The operator of the first
ship could always indicate the position
of the other ship in few seconds by
means of the indicators needle, and fol-
low the alterations of it's course.
Perhaps there would be some such ac-
cidents as that which happened in the
Sound last Friday morning even if all
steamers were equipped with such ap-
paratus as the Belgian inventor is said
to have made, but there might be fewer
of them. Anything that promises to
decrease their number is encouraging.

So many millions capital;

The dividends were II per cent.

Have forced the price of washing down,
Suppose lamb-outside the fold,
Amid the darkness and the cold,
With wolves that roamed the forest

Would he be safe because he knew
How many fangs were In their jaws,
And just the sharpness of their claws?
So If the coal and sugar trust,
And others that hear discussed

An accurate statement every year;
Since l. for everything use

What spacial benefit to me

elementary instruction is obligatory
upon girls from six to ten years and
upon boys from six TO eleven years OF
age. This includes, besides the Turk
ism language. the Koran, morality, the
fundamental rules of arithmetic. uni
versaI history, geography, and various
kinds of handwork. Every viiayet has
several middle-class schools (there are
twenty-five in the vilayet of salonika)
in which the pupils remain from eleven
10 sixteen years of age. The curricu-
lln in the latter institutions includes
Turkish literature, the French lam
guage, the ground principles of poiiti-
cal economy, universal history, and
geography, chemistry, physics. geom-
etry, and natural history. There is in
Turkey none of the higher educational
institutions organized on the lines of
the western universities. Notwith-
standing this provision for public in
struction, says the report, the enlight-
ening influence upon the people in gen.
eral is practically unappreciable owing
to the simple fact that all elementary
teaching is in the hands of the Null
labs and Ulemahs, who yield implicit
obedience to the Sheikh- ul-Islam. The
government created Ministry of Pub
lie instruction to counteract this infiu-
ence, but it has made little impression.

ANHREWD SCHEM

Notwithstanding the meekness of the
United States, it is not going to inherit
the earth without struggle. Profess
sor Julius Wolf of Bresiau has written
to the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna a
letter suggesting the formation of what
he terms Central European Economic
Association. He points out that, while
it is probably impossible to secure by
positive government action a customs
league directed against the incoming Of
merchandise from the United States, he
believes that the same ends can be
citation referred to. This society, he
thinks, could be readily formed, COM
posed of manufacturers, merchants,
economists and public officials, having
for it's object a close study of the con-
ditions which permit of American COM
petition in Central Europe. 1t would
embrace not only Austria Hungary, but

through it's investigations that certain
classes of American products were find
ing large and increasing market pres
sure could be brought to bear upon the
respective countries to have their tariff
laws so changed as to strike at this par
ticular class of industrial invasion. 1t
would also, he thinks, be possible by
this form of concerted action to have
the railroad rates for the transportation
of European wares placed upon an ex-
ceptionally favorable basis,s and if il
were found that in consequence of the
obstacles in the way of cheap domestic
transportation American products OBJ
tanned access to the markets of Central
Europe then the influences of the asso-
citation could be exerted to correct this
defect by having the interested govern
ments improve their methods of land or
water carriage.
This is shreWd and comprehensive
scheme, and it indicates how dangerous
and how feared we are.

s No wonder there is crusade for a
general reduction of the number of
places licensed to sell liquor in Eng
land. In London alone there are more
than 1900 licensed houses, and the av-
erage is one to every 446 inhabitants.
The ratable value of these houses is
nearly six times that of all schools in
the same area, and one-twentieth of
the whole valuation of the British met
ropolis.
