1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion

cases, turned the balance in

A NEWLY-COIN ED WORD.
An Ugly One and the Thing 1t stands
For Has Very Ugly
Aspects.

Any familiarity with continental jour
nalism ard periodical literature brings
the reader in these days face to face at
every turn with the newly-coined word
''arrivism," and with d'~sertations on
the modern tendency which 1t repre-
sents. The word is very ugly one. says
Scrikners, and the thing which 1t
stands for certainly has very ugly as
oects; but 1t is doubtful whether we can
dismiss, as insignificant, either the one OF
the other Doubtful whether we can do
so in our quality Of Americans, espe'
cially. The conservative European, who
Is rasped and abraided by the general
rawness resulting from the doctrine that
the most of the time spent In preparation
for the achievement of the ends OF life Is
time wasted, and that the wise course to
pursue is simply to get there and to
learn by doing or enjoying instead OF
learning to do or enjoy, Goes not hes1-
tate to say that 1t ia the American and
his Americarism that are primarily re-
sponsible for the doctrine. And he Is
right.
We have. In effect, a new way OF re-
garding human existence and the human
career, in this particular. We are In
clined to'apologize for this new way al
times, and at times to assert with un-
necessary aggressi, eness that 1t is the
only right way. in reality, we probabi!
ought to do neither. The matter Is still
On trial.
Whether "arrivism" be hun AMY pos
sible when pushed to its logical limits
whether 1t will give us more on OF III
or less, Is what we do do nc yet froN
and cannot yet tell. But 1t Is the co.,
temporaneous problem, and one s'r :
calling for meditation and experiment.

A Tramping Bishop.

Bishop Leighton Coleman of the
Episcopal diocese of Delaware is a
man who believes that the surest and
most direct way to get at the masses
of the people and know their needs
and how to meet them is to go down
among the people and live their life
as near as may be, and see for your
self. Every year the bishop dons a
rough suit of clothes and starts on an
expedition out somewhere in some re-
mote region away from the beaten
routes of travel. His latest tour was
200 miles in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and North Carolina,
all on foot. He travels incognito, stop
ping over night wherever he finds it
most convenient, and mingling with
all sorts of people. The result of years
OF these experiences has been to make
the worthy bishop of Delaware one of
the broadest, most far-sighted and
greatest-hearted men in the ranks of
his rofession.-Leslie's Weekly.

twenty miles varying from these sums
to $3.50 for shorter distances. These
salaries were of a sufficient induce
ment for 1000 applicants to be made
i'm 1902. Many Of them were farmers
and aged men, a small portion being
residents of towns. The service is
not only difficult but includes some
hardships especially in the sparscly set
tied and mountainous districts. Many
of the carriers exhibit a great deal of
pride in being able to serve the Gov
eminent. Many of them try 10 excel I'm
the appearance of their vehicles and
I'm making the best record over their
respective routes. BY the adoption
of this system, the farmers feel that
they are members of society and their
welfare is being considered by the
Government to whom they pay ellegi-
ance. To say the least the thought
is uplifting and encouraging to all
tends TO make one more satisfied with
his lot, though IL be far away from
centers of activity. The change thus
being brought about may have a tend
ency to overcome the prejudice of
country life, which already exists to
some degree among the younger gen.
Grafton. Should it overcome some of
the existing discomfort, the establish
ment of the rural free delivery will be
well worth the expense to maintain 1t.
The present indications are that the
system will be self sustaining. Fur
ther the post Office department feel
warranted in asserting that it is pos
sible to give every rural citizen of the
United States the daily service of a
carrier except i'm some localities where
physical conditions render it impossi-

living under broad, generous, bene-
VIOLENT government.
