New Method in. Photography.

Katatypy, the new method in pho
Biography, is described as follows:
Over the finished negative is poured
solution of hydro-superoxide. This
leaves, after the evaporation, a uni.
form la1er of peroxide Of hydrogen.
Soon the silver of the plate works
upon this peroxide and produces a cat
alytic dissolution wherever there ia
silver, while In the places free from
silver the peroxide remains. BY this
means an invisible picture Of hydro.
superoxide Is produced upon the plate.
This picture can be printed from the
plate directly upon common paper, ia

Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks. OF No. 45 Lin

For five years on and ON l was
treated in vain by different doctors
for relief from stomach trouble

would be confined to bed for three or
four days in succession. 4
MY stomach was at times 30 deli.

times occur at intervals of half an
hour, and would leave me 80 weak

After had used half box I found
that l could keep on my stomach the
food I ate. was encouraged by this
and kept on using the pills for four
months. At the end of that time the
vomiting spells had ceased altogether

it had not been for DR.. Williams Pink

time could not eat bite of any

Inflammation of the stomach, and an
other said my difficulty was a cancer,
but none of their medicines did me
any good at all. Finally l concluded
that did not have blood enough to
digest my food, and began the treat
ment that has cured me. I can eat
anything now, and have strength for

DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with

strengthen the digestive organs until
they do their work perfectly. They
are sold by all druggists.

Methods Of Teaching History.

To teach history as it should be
taught in our public schools the meth
DDS of the universities must be adopt
ID. The scholar must not be re-
quired to load his mind with dates;
the aim should be to give him vivid
impression of The doings, not only of
the chief actors, but of the people Of
the period treated. To tell a pupil
that Virgil died on a certain date and
that he was an excellent poet is not

century before the beginning of our
era, and that object will be accom-

CHAP Elk Al.-(C0ntlnueo.)
Does he remember how he was
hurt?"
He declares. his men mutinied, be-
cause instead Of returning to New
York, he had taken, on cargo for the
East India company, and that the
blow was given him by his first or Sec
ond mate. He vows he will get well
and find his ship and the rascals that
stole her; and should not wonder If
he does. He has will enough for any
thing. Madame desires to see you,
Cornelia. Can you go there with me
In the morning?"
II shall be glad to go. Madame is
like no one else"
she is not like herself at present.
She has but one thought, one care,
one end and aim in life-her hus-
band"
Cornelia was taken to the dim I'M
canny drawing-room by Ameer, and
left among it's ill.omened gods, and
odd treasuretrove for nearly half an
hour. When madame at length came
to her, she looked ten years older. Her
wonderful dark eyes glowing with a
soft tender fire alone remained I'M
touched by the whitening hand of anx-
ious love. They were as vital as ever
they had been, and when Cornelia said
SO, she answered, THAT is because
my soul dwells in them, and my soul
is always young. l have had year,
Cornelia, to crumble the body to dust,
but my soul made light of it for loves
sake. Did your father tell you how
much Capt. Jacobus had suffered?"
Eyes, madame"

dead, shall never forget my first
sight of him in that dreadful place"
and then she described her overwhelm-
was alike apathetic to his pauper con-
ditiOn, and to her love and presence.
There never came a moment during
the whole visit when it was possible
to speak of Hyde. Madame seemed
to have quite forgotten her liking for
the handsome youth, it had been swal-
lowed up in her adoring affection for
her restored husband.
One morning, however, the long
1ooked-for topic was introduced. II
had visit from Madame Van Heems-
kirk yesterday afternoon" she said,
"and the dear old Senator came with
her to see Capt. Jacobus. While they
talked madame told me that you had
refused that handsome young fellow,
her grandson. What could you mean
by such stupidity, Miss Moran?"
Her voice had just that tone of in
difference, mingled with sarcastic dis
approval, that hurt and offended Cor
nelia. She felt that it was not worth
while to explain herself, for madame
had evidently accepted the offended
grandmother's opinion and the mem
DRY of the young Lord was lively
enough to make her sympathize with
his supposed. wrong.
II never considered you to be
firt," she continued, land 1 am aston
tshed. I told Madame Van Heemskirk
that had not the least doubt Doctor
Moran dictated the refusal"
"Oh, indeed answered Cornelia,
with a good deal of spirit, and some
anger, you shall not blame my father.

at the time of the coronation of the
king of England. and one evening, at
a reception at the, Hotel Ritz duch-

do you know King Edward, Mr..
Whistler?
NO, madame said the painter.
"She looked surprised.
Why, that is odd,' she murmured.

BAIIlNG THEIR HOOKS FOR
NOTHING BUT MINNOWS.

The bitter local fight now going ON
between Murphy and McCarren in
Greater New York shows a disregard
of duty to the National Democracy
that is without excuse. 1t seems thar
both prefer local bossship, with the
spoils of office, than the triumph of
the party in the November election.
The most sensational play in the row
was when Murphy secured the remov-
al of Mr.. Byrnes from the Gas De-
partment. Immediately Mr.. Grout re-
sponded by appointing Mr.. Byrnes to
a place of equal dignity and salary in
the Comptroller's office. And now if
Tammany dismisses the McCarren men
Grout will dismiss the Tammany men.
These warning chiefs, if they wish
to demolish each other, ought to post
pone their tomahawking until after
the November election. A few weeks
ago New York seemed certainly Demo-
cratic, but if the leaders of the party
in the cities continue to fight each
other, such conflicts must make har-
mony and victory grow more and mor1
difficult.
If New York wants a Democratic
President it should quit raising a stir
over minnows. Men who bait their
hook for minnows cannot catch the
big fish.
