The Need OF Commercial Schools.
The most interesting educational de-
veiopment in Germany to me is the de-
velopment Of higher commercial edu-
cation, writes Frank A vanderlip in
Scribner's. We recognize that an engi-
neer or mechanic will profit by a
technical education. There is no longer
q doubt that q technical education will
enable such man to outstrip in the
long run his fellows who have equal
ability, but have learned only In the
slower and less scientific school of ex-
perienee., There are as good reasons,
am convinced, for giving the banker or
the merchant technical commercial
education The schools do not turn
out practical engineer, nor will they
turn out a practical banker or mer-
chant, but / believe that there is a
great amount Of information needed by
a man in commercial life which is ca
pable Of scientific classification, and
can be taught with much greater eff
hciency, and with much less loss of
time. in a properly organized school
than it can be gathered in the ordinary
course Of an apprenticeship in bust
ness career.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL!
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.

Mrs. Van scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of n Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired d.
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey TO pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anamia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
while was suffering in this way
CHANGED to run across a little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it inn
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing needed.
Improvement set in as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me q well woman"
Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.
90 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train Of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.

LAST OF THE MOHICANS.
Aged Indian Chief Who Wou1d Speal
No English Ii Dead.

Aged Indian Chief Who Wou1d Speak
No English Ii Dead.
1t seems strange that within 250
miles OF Kansas City full-blood
American should live for nearly sew
enty years and yet be unable to speak
Dr. understand the English language.
But nevertheless such was the case of
Hulbutta Niece, the Indian chief, who
died recently in the Creek nation.
The chief was one Of many, but his
death marked an epoch in American
history which is closed for good. There
are at present perhaps 10000 full
blood Indians in Indian Territory and
some 1900 in Oklahoma. These red.
men still possess pride Of race such
rs is not understandable by white
men. They have watched the advance
Of civilization, but have refused to
Join it.
They have felt that they were the
last Of the people who were robbed of
an Inheritance Of a whole continent,
and that every instinct of self-preser-
walton demanded that they should

their independence, but even their in
tegrity and existence as a division of
the humap race.
This was natural and most laud-
able feeling and purpose, but one pitt
ably useless and hopeless. The red
mans career was ended when the pill
grims landed at Plymouth rock. The
efforts of the native tribes to preserve
themselves and their ownership of the
continent has resulted almost in COM
plete obliteration.
The last act Of the drama Is now
being played in Indian Territory. The
Indian is doomed to utter extinction
Is a race and the present genera ton
seems finally to have realized this in
evitable fact. The younger chiefs and
rulers of the five civilized tribes and
of the other tribes in Indian Territory
and Oklahoma do not think or act like
their forebears. They believe and are
leading their people to believe that
the best policy is to yield to the in
evitable and accept the white mans
ways.-Kansas City Journal.

ADVICE TO THE GIRLS.


Don't Run After Man If You Wish His
Respect and Admiration.
If girl wants to kill all her chances
with a sensible man there is one GER
tain way to do it.
Run after him.
If he doesn't come around on the
evening you expected him. write to
find out what was the matter.
Make a point of hanging around the
front step or the piazza whenever he
is likely to pass.
Ask for his photograph and make
him an unsolicited present Of yours.
Go around to see his sister and stay
SO late that he will have to take you
home.
When you see him on the train or
trolley car, beckon and gesture anx-
iously for him to come sit with you.
Coax him to come around oftener
than he does.
In a hundred ways show him that
you are dead in love with him. Lit
orally throw yourself at his head.
If this red-hot pursuit doesn't sue
coed in making the man run from
you as from a plague, it is only be-
cause he is such a conceited jack
anapes that no other girl will have
him.
Girls who pursue this sort of policy
are the ones who always want to know
why it is they can't keep men friends.
OF course they can't. Man is not
such a shy creature that he needs to
be chased with a butterfly net. Nor
does he care to be rounded into corral
with a lasso. Ten thousand times
would he rather play the part of the
hunter and do the pursuit act him.
self
There is to him an elusive charm
about following that which evades
him. If it turns and throws itself
into his arms too early in the game
the charm is gone. And if it won't
flee at all, but just plants itself de-
liberately in its pathway. there is no
game at all, and he doesn't care to
play.
Be very, very sure, girls, that you
will never get n man friend worth
having or worth thinking Of in any
closer relation by flinging yourself I'M

ward him. Don't show anxiety for his

Size Of the Universe.

To determine a single position by
any one star involves q good deal Of
computation, and if we reflected that,
in order to attack the problem In ques-
ton In a satisfactory way, we should
have observations of a million Of the
bodies at intervals of at least a con-
siderable fraction Of a century, we see
what an enormous task the astrono-
mers have befoNe them, and how i'm
perfect must be any determination of
the distance Of the stars based on our
motion through space. So far as an
estimate can be made, it seems to
agree fairly we'll with the results OBJ
tanned by the other methods. Speak
ing roughly, we have reason, from the
data so far available, to believe that
the stars of the milky way are sitp-
ated at distance between 100 000, 900
and 2OO,OOO,OO0 times the distance
from the sun. At distances less than
this it seems likely that the stars are
distributed through space with some
approach to uniformity. We may state
as a general conclusion, indicated by
several methods Of making the esti-
mate, that nearly all the stars which
we can see with our telescopes are
contained within sphere not likely
20 be much more than 200, 000, 900
times the distance Of the sun.
The inquiring reader may here ask
another question. Granting that all
the stars we can see are containe!
within this limit, may there not be
any number of stars without the limit
which are invisible only because they
are too far away to be Seem ?-Har-

DICKERING WITH PIRATES
How Swede Served the United States
in Washington's Time.

The United States once had brig-of
war with the typically Swedish name, of
Skjoldebrand. It saw service in the,
Mediterranean something over a hun
dred years ago. The vessel was christ
ened Skjoldebrand in recognition Of
two brothers who were Of great help to
the United States in treating with the
Barbary states. II, ...A.3
President Washington about 1888 APP
pointed Commodore John Paul Jones
commission to negotiate a treaty with
the Barbary states. Two American ships,
their masters, two mates and ten sail
ors had been captured by pirates and
held in Algiers for ransom. Commo7
dore J ohm Paul Jones and Barclay, his
substitute, died suddenly, and Colonel
David Humphreys, then minister Of the
in their places, with the sum Of $780,,
900 placed at his disposal.
A Swede named Skjoldebrand, broth
er of the Swedish consul at Alglers, IN
terested himself in the captives and
informed Humphreys that peace could
| be obtained on the following condi-
tions: nFor the treasury, $4,000; for
dey, 100000; consular present, $780,
| 600; redemption of slaves, about $780,
| 900 to 100000, plus an annual tribute
of $4,000 to $4,000, plus a consular
present every two years Of about $1o,-
900. Humphreys submitted the propo-
sition to the Washington government,
! which replied that: Skioldebrand s
terms are to be acceded to, if better
| cannot be obtained. - +.
The sum paid the pirates appears to
have been concluded on this basis:
which shows that the Barbarossas OF
those days were more exacting in their
ideas Of ransom than Raissouli of re
cent date, whom Perdicaris, returned
would now have us believe was modest
and conservative, and more a patriot
and perhaps chief Of Hnational
party!''
The Swedish consul and his brother
were influential with the dey and Ger
tainly commanded the esteem of the
United States representatives, or else
the Skioldebrand would not have beer
employed to negotiate with the pirates
of 1897.
