ly cured by this best of all strength
eners and vitalizers. 1t is the surest

HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the
symptoms of consumptive tendency.
And why should this dangerous con-
ditlon exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup would put a stop to it at once?
No mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house-for its
timely use will promptly cure any lung,
throat or bronchial trouble in herself or
her children. The worse cough or cold
can be speedily cured by German Syrup;
so can hoarseness and congestion of the
bronchial tubes 1t makes expectoration
easy, and gives instant relief and refresh
ing rest to the coughracked consump-
tive. New trial bottles, Csc; large size,

Fire at Rutland.

The large mansion belonging to the
estate of the late William H. Johnson on
the road between Center Rutland and
Proctor was totally destroyed by fire at
an early hour Sept. 81. The loss is
estimated at between 81 900 and $4,000.
The origin of the fire is mystery,
although it is thought to have been
caused by a defective chimney. The
house was occupied by Edward S. John
son. Members of the family were awak-
ened at an early hour by hearing the
cracking of the flames. They barely
had time to escape with their lives, being
unable to save any of their belongings.
The outbuildings were saved.

Of Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis. July 1S.-Special-Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co.,, has delivered judgment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put briefly. that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market today"
 And MT. Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: "Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straiehten my back. 1 did not know what it was but an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one box 1 can only say they have done m ore for me than expected as I feel as well now as ever did be- fore."
 Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright's Disease, Dia- betes. Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Trains Men to Be Cons uls.

The consular academy of Vienna, for the training of young men who contemplate entering the Austrian con- where in the world. When founded in 1752 as the Oriental Academy it's purposes were the same as now, but through the influence of the Austrian minister of foreign affairs it was re- gently placed upon distinctly mod ern footing, in recognition of the value of it's service to the State. It's cur. riculum was rearranged to meet the requirements of the modern consular service to the fullest extent and a building of great architectural beauty was especially erected for it.
 Eight modern languages are taught and in addition thorough work in econ- omics, political science, history and jurisprudence is given for the period of five years. Emphasis is placed up. on subjects which possess special value in the conduct of consular duties, such as commercial geography, commercial history, commercial law and modern history, with special reference to the diplomatic and consular relations of the leading countries of the world. Nor is proper physical training neg. lected. Regular hours are devoted to turning, fencing, riding dancing and swimming. Having successfully com pleted the final examinations of the course, the graduates are entered by the government into lower positions of the consular service. The attendance at the academy is limited to meet the demands of the consular service.

A Lesson Out of School.

Plain-mannered, common-sense rela. tives serve no more useful purpose than in keeping down vain pretensions and silly tendencies in other members of the family. The New York Press says that it had become fashionable in a certain school to diversity names. Mabel had become Maybelle, May Mayme, and soon Jessie caught the in. lection.
 She write letter to her elder broth CT, Sam, and signed 1t "Jessica." Sam detected the signs of the times, and this was his reply:
 Dear Sister Jessica: Your letter re. ceived. Aunt Marica and Uncle Geor. gica started for Bostonica yesterday. Mamica and papica are well.
 T bought new horse yesterday. She is beauty: her name Is Maudica. Your affectionate brother, Samica."

Where Guests May Go Hungry.

As nine out of ten women are invet- crate readers of fiction, the latest idea in luncheon parties is sure to attract every hostess who is in search of some novel entertainment that will please her guests. -s Invitations to a luncheon party for twenty guests, who must perforce be well versed in modern fiction, are sent out by the up-to-date hostess. The in- vitation cards bear the picture of closed book, and the words simply in innate that Mrs. Blank desires the presence of Miss Dash to a "novep luncheon. On the arrival of the guests in the dinng-room 1t is seen that ten round tables are arranged round the room, and that each table has differ ent scheme of decoration. In fact, ev- cry table is designed to carry out the representation of well-known novel, and before the guests are allowed to be seated the names of the ten works of fiction must be guessed. Prizes are, of course, awarded to the quickest guesser, and the fortunate ones are al- lowed to partake of luncheon before their less astute friends.
 The favorite novel, "The Four Feathers is one that lends itself to very effective arrangement in white feathers, and an incident in the book should be illustrated by a decoration in the center. When possible some ar- ticle of food mentioned in the book should be supplied by the menu for this. table. Barrie's Little White Bird" is story that can be graphical ly carried out at "novel' luncheon, and "Trilby" is still another celebrated work of fiction that suggests itself as easy to arrange and easy to guess. Under Two Flags" makes quite an ar- tistic table, with its setting of exotic flowers surmounted by the two flags, and "A Japanese Marriage" can also be pictorially presented-London Daily Mail.
