Nervous Headache.
The Cause of Much Suffering to Women

DR. A. w. Chase's
Nerve Pills.

When the head aches hard and throbs
when the neck and eyes grow stiff, the
face flushes or grows deadly white;
when any excitement or over effort
brings on an attack of nervous head
ache so severe that it leaves -you weak,
trembly, shaky and utterly worthless for

nervous system is shattered-that resist

lost nerve force. that will 80 strengthen
you that you can resist and overcome
these terrible seizures. Such a medicine
is DIR. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills, a
medicine that does not relieve but goes
to the foot of the trouble and positively

Forearm by Taking Pains.

We note that the taking of infinite
pains, this fore-arming OF himself, this
knowing of everything that was to be
known. the note of thorough preparation
IN Watts career, is ever conspicuous.
The best proof that he was a man of
true genius IS that ne first made himself
master of all knowledge upon his tasks.
When a noble lord confessed to him
admiration for his noble achievements.
Watt replied, The public only look at
my success and not at the intermediate
failures and uncouth constructions
which have served me as so many steps
to climb to the top of the ladder
Quite true. but also quite right. The
public have no time to linger over a

his triumphs. We rise upon our dead
selves failures) to higher things" and
mistakes, recognized as such in after
days, make for victory. The man who
never makes mistakes never makes any
thing. The only point the wise man
guards is not to make the same mistake
twice; the first time never counts with
the successful man. He both forgives
and forgets that One difference between
the wise man and the foolish one.

"Let Us Do or Die"

When the revelation first rushes upon
youth, hitherto directed by his pa
rents, that. boy no more, ne must act
for himself, presto change! he is man,
he has at last found himself. The su-
preme test, which proves the man, can
come in all its winnowing force only to
those born to earn their own support by
training themselves to be able to render
to society services which command re-
turn. This training compels the de-
velopment of powers which otherwise
would probably lie dormant. Scotch boy
as Watt was to the core, with the low

Poverty the Best Heritage.

Fortunate it was for our subject, and
especially 50 for the world, that he was
thus favored by falling heir to the best
heritage of ALL as Mr.. Morley calls it in
his address to the Midland Institute
tthe necessity at an early age to go
forth into the world and work Tor the
means needed for his own support"
President Garfields verdict was to the
same effect THE best heritage to
which man can be born is poverty"
The writer's knowledge OF the usual ef-
feet OF the heritage of milliondom upon
the sons of millionaires leads him fully
TO concur with these high authorities.
and TO believe that it is neither t. the
rich nor to the noble that human society
has to look for its preservation anil i'm
provement. but to those who, like Watt,
have to labor that they may live, and
thus make a proper return for what
they receive, as working bees, not
drones, in the social hive.
Not from palace or castle. but from
the cottage have come, or can come the
needed leaders of our race, Under whose
guidance II Is to ascend.
In all history It may be doubted wheth-
er success can be traced more clearly to
ionS ana care1ul preparation than In
Watts case When we investigate, for
Instance. MS seeming sleight-of-hand
triumph with organs, we find that upon
agreeing to make the first, Watt imme-
diately devoted himself to a study of the
laws Of harmony making science sup
plement his lack of the musical ear
AS usual, the study was exhaustive.
OF course he found and took for guide
the highest authority. a profound but
obscure book by Prof. Smith, OF Cam
bridge University. and, mark this, he
first made a model of the forthcoming
organ. 1t is safe to say that there
was not then a man in Britain who
knew more of the science of music and
was more thoroughly prepared to excel
in the art Of making organs than the
new organ-builder.

Saving of Time Important.

This would hardly be sufficient to in
duce newspapers TO start automatic
typesetttng by telegraph, but the pos
slble saving of time is a more impor-
tant feature. The saving OF a few
minutes is vital to newspapers at GER
tain hours, and this may ultimately lead
to automatic typesetting by telegraph:
but there are many obstacles in the
way. One is the necessity for press
messages being revised, punctuated cor
rected, and often cut down before being
set up in type. This Is the only auto
matte apparatus making provision for
this difficulty by allowing the editorial
correction to be carried out by the
compositor while the type is being auto
matically set
All that can be said about automatic
typesetting by telegraph is that it is a
possibility Of the future and that II It
is done at all 1t will have to be done
on the lines of his apparatus. because
it alone is practical both from the news
paper and from the telegraphic point
of view.

Best Safeguard for a Young Man.

We are often met with the question,
What is the best possible safeguard
for young man who ~nes forth from
pure home to meet the temptations that
beset his path?" Various answers are
given, but, speaking as Scot, the
writer believes that all the suggested
safeguards combined scarcely weigh as
much as preventives against disgracing
himself as the thought that IL would
not be only himself he would disgrace.
but that he would also bring disgrace
upon his family. and would cause father.
mother, sister and brother to hang their
heads anon" their neighbors in secluded
village, on far-away moors or in lonely
glen. The Scotch have strong traces
of the Chinese and Japanese religious

Value of Public Schools.

One of the chief advantages of the
public school is the enduring friendship
boys form there, first in importance
through their beneficial influences upon
character, and. second, as aids to sue
cess In after life
The writer has been impressed by this
feature, for great is the number of in
stances he has known where the priced
working boy or man in position has
been able. as additional force was re-
qujred, to say the needed word of recon-
meldation, which gave a start or a lift
upward to a dearly-cherished schoolfei-
low.
It seems a grave mistake for parents
not to educate their sons in the region
of home, or In later years in colleges
and universities of their own land, so
that early friendships may not be
broken, but grow closer with the years.

ing youth rarely goes unrecognized or

his utmost effort when launched upon

Many Reasons for Failure.

There are many reasons for this want
of success: but they are all based on
the extreme cornpteXity of the conditions

technical literature explaining what
these conditions are. With one or two
exceptions. telegraph engineers, realiz-
