~ Hartman received the following
letter:
MY wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past %
years.
Her case had baff1ed the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-
patton of several years standing.
''She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June, 1895,
| wrote to you about her case. You ad-
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced. and have
to say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes that she would have been
dead only for these wonderful remedies
"About the same time | wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of % years standing. At times
| was almost past going. | commenced
to use Peruna according to your instruc-
tons, and continued it's use for about a
year, and it has completely cured me-
"YOur remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Cafarrh
cannot exist where Peruna is taken
according to directions. Success. to
you and your remedies.

nownel fall of snow in Scotland A
number of vessels were compelled to
run for shelter and there were some
exciting rescues off Holyhead and
Cornwall A hurricane ragged for three
days at Vienna and gales elsewhere
on the continent caused considerable

It having been reported that Com
mander William H. Reeder Of the
United States training ship Hartford
said the Hartford would not come to
an italian port, fearing an unfavorable
reception on account of the unpleas-
ant incident at Venice in connection

United States cruiser Chicago last
spring, the press has been requested
officially to deny the existence of any
animosity towards the United States,

When Mr.. Marconi lectured at Dun
dee he gave full credit to the Scotch
inventor, James Bowman Lindsay, for
being the first man who thoroughly be-
1ieved in the possibility and utility of
long distance wireless telegraphy,
fifty years ago. He contended that
Lindsay's system was not considered
practical on account of the enormous
electrical energy required even for the
most moderate distances and the ne
cessity of placing immersed plates at
considerable distance apart, but he
admitted that the inventor would have
done much more if he had lived in the
present time and been armed with the
resources of electrical science. The
Marconi station at Glace Bay contin-
ues to maintain daily communication
with Cornwall, with constantly in
creasing efficiency and facility. Mar
conf will leave shortly for the Cape
Cod station. In the meantime he is
sending two or three wireless mes
sages to Europe daily. Some of these
dispatches are long. One was directed
to ex-Empress Eugene.

school is a late invention. but it fits it. self well to our new social moods and needs. It takes out of doors either to leave our books behind or to make them interpreters of things. It is a happy fact that education is at last swinging about to the conviction that to fill a mind with facts is not the end of study, says the Independent. A school must. concern it. self not only with what a boy is getting. but what he can do with 1t. So the sum mer school takes in application as well as acquisition and undertakes to show that there is no branch of study, certain ly not one of the modern sciences, which cannot be directly applied to the great out of doors It is teaching us to make less of the building and more of nature. Pupils are catching the conception that the study of books is only supplementary to the study of objects.

Has there ever been a generation of men which did, not undervalue the boys that were to come after them, and to and government? I am inclined to the be- lief that the answer must be in the neg atiye. Possibly an exception may be found In some of the old Grecian states Sparta, for -..stance, where parental dis eipline was so severe. and at the same time so salutary that the fathers, with the light of experience before them, could safely make forecast of what was to be in morality. war and patriotism at least which were then the chief ends in view of all or nearly all education. This spirit of distrust or whatever 1t may be called seems to be law of our human nature Analysis of it is not easy, but 1t would seem to have it's foundation in the Innate egoism, which, disavow 1t how he may every man possesses in greater or less de- gree. He who is at all. successful in any department of human activity fiatters himself secretly or openly, that he Is very nearly supreme. or perfect In that par ticular field, and that If the results of his achievement and endeavor are not so great as those of his competitors, 1t is not because of any defect in himself but for the reason that he did not have equal opportunity, or that what he calls luck was against him. From the dawn of civ- ilization every generation has worshipped and burned incense in honor of Itself. We are living in the greatest age of the world, Is a phrase that falls read fly from the tongue of every orator, and the pen of every writer. As Walt Whit man said. We celebrate ourselves per- petually,' and mildly commiserate those who have gone before because of the darkness and unenlightenment in which they lived"
 And so 1t is with respect to the future. Most of us honestly think that the boys in the early days of youthhood and those bordering on, and even in the first periods of manhood lack all the strong charac- teristics of the vigorous lads of the olden time who were our own companions and contemporaries. Whenever and wherever the question comes up for discussion, and we turn loose the fountains of our wisdom, the old expression. old 1 have no doubt, as the third generation from Adam. that boys were different when I was boy" Is certain to be dropped into the argument with as much solemnity as if it were the announcement of great truth, never before uttered. The awful gravity with which this century-worn ob- servation is made and received, would in- dieate that 1t settles everything on the

of the section gang. He had hand-car down at the station. and if the couple would use 1t he would call out the boys and they would pump 1t over to the junction.
 The bride was all smiles again. Four trunlxfuls of trousseau were crowded into two valises and instructions given to send the leftover material on the next train. The band preceded the wedding party to the station, where awaited Dam iels and his grimy crew. The skies were black and angry, and some rain drops fell, but the pretty bride laughed as she said her new travelling suit was designed expressly for storms. The band played, the crowd cheered and threw rice and the little car with it's solitary hand lantern shot out into the darkness.
 The little car carried it's passengers through with no other mishap than a thorough wetting. The contracting par ties were Prof. Leonard M. Thompson, principal of the Lancaster High School, and Miss Mary D. Grist daughter of George Grist.
