painful sight is not at all rare, and 1t

a sad commentary on our modern civ
ilization.
In Copenhagen it is the custom TO
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare, even
in weather when Americans appre'
ciate their overcoats. This practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colds, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis is making sad havoc
among the urban population of Nor
way. 1t is pitiful to note how this
plague is decimating this once hardy
race. Sedentary life, indoor confine-
ment and defective ventilation are
undoubtedly the most prolific causes,
for fifty per cent of the tubercular
cases make satisfactory recovery
when they are sent to some outdoor
sanitarium; and what will cure con-
sumptive would certainly have pre-
vented the onset of the disease.
The liquor curse is undermining the
physical stamina of the Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among the working
classes is almost universal. One
third of their population die before
the age of twenty-one and one-fourth
of those who live, are rejected from
military service on account of phys
ical disqualifications

ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by which lie

Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by which lie
Treated Himself successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them n specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to All acute stage by exposure
while ho was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for period
of more than three years he was n con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
aud one remedy after another proved
useless many said: II should think no
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr.
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
In my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared in every muscle of my body.
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was n friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought n box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904 The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
When was on the third box, says
Mr.. Jones, I" | could realize change for
the better. l felt sure then that DR.
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. / kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
/ am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what l took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

The Present Rate Law.

The duties of the present Interstate
Commerce Commission are to correct

declines to change 1t, the Commission
can bring suit in Court and If the
Court decides in favor of the Com
rissioners' finding, the railroad must
obey, or its officers may be brought up
for contempt of court and summarily

Occupation and tuberculosis.

The influence OF occupation as
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
j. M. French in the Medical Exam
liner.
At least four classes of employ
ments ments have tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
l. Sedentary employments in ill
ventilated apartments, involving con-
finement in impure air, and other I'M
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typified by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
of various articles of clothing.
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak.
ers, file-cutters, grinders, engravers,
etc.
8. Employments which involve the
overuse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestlers, professional BIZ
cycle riders, ball players, ETC., large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve I'M
due familiarity with intoXicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that, taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred, that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.
Overcoming Hereditary tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity, is one the predisposition to which
is in the highest degree hereditary.
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
Gus experiments in various parts Of
the United States that out-of-door life
with regular hygienic habits, ire
spective of altitude or special climat-
ic advantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect a cure of this formidable NAL
ady without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is a disease of civiliza-
ton. 1t scarcely exists among saw
ages who live in the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo-
pie when the habits Of civilization are
adopted, especially the indoor life.
The South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tins to this disease when shut away
from the sunlight and active exercise
out of doors,
The time is not far distant when
every large city will find it necessary
to provide conveniences for the APP
plcation of this simple curative meas
ure, not only for the purpose of rescu-
ing the victims of pulmonary tuber-
culosis from the certain fate which
awaits them, but as an essential
measure for protecting tho public
health.

ANCIENT ROME VS.. PARIS.

fury. There was always to be
found there coterie of strong
men, many of them famous, in
whose society the tyro might min
gle and gain much by the compan-
ionship. That day has gone by,
however, and a change has taken
place. Paris has us1rped the pre-
negative of the old city, and it is
to her that the world now turns
for new ideas of art. The Italian
galleries remain, the master
pieces hang in their accustomed
places, the sky is as blue, the air
as soft, and the outlook as lovely;
but the glory of Roman art life
has departed. The humanity that
gave the art impetus, the inter
est to the student. has betaken it
self from the Seven Hills to the
peaceful Seine, where it fourishes
in the wilder, more luxuriant
growth, nurtured by the dollhouse
forcing of fin-de-siecle ideas, un.
trammeled by convention or ira
ditiOn. For good or bad-and the
judgment must be left to the read
er-the fact remains that to-day
Paris is the hub about which the
wheel of art revolves.
Yet from Paris there go annu-
ally to the Italian capital a num-
Der of young men, winners of the
annual competitions for the prize
of Rome, to spend four years in
the most idyllic manner, as guests
of the French republic, at the
Villa Medici, a beautiful palace
owned by the government and spe-

ton. These men have not won
their spurs without hard work,
without great preliminary train

wAY opALs ARE cosTLN
Perfect Gems Must BE Bright and
without streaks or spots--cut-
ting Is Important.

Veins Of opals are usually met
with in soft formations, where
nothing above ground indicates
their presence. The search for
them, therefore, often requires
considerable time. But it is not
extremely difficult, for opals are
generally found near the surface.
Indeed, it was thought for long
time that they were not to be
found as deep as II feet below the
surface. This opinion has, how
ever, given way in the light of evi-
dence, because opals of great
value have been discovered at a
depth of so feet, says the Jewel
ers' Circular.
The value of opals depends
upon several considerations, Of
which the principal one is the
color. 1t is important that they
should be bright and not present
streaks or spots alternating with
uncolored substance. The most
valuable are those which have red
fires or mixtures of red, yellow,
blue and green. Opals of a single
tint are of little value, unless the
tint is particularly striking and
the figure beautiful. Indeed, one
of the essential qualities of the
opal is the arrangement Of the
figure, which sets off strikingly
the hue of the stone.
When the figure is quite regular
and distinct it is the more valua-
Bile, much less so when. the grain
is quite small and irregular.
Sometimes the color appears as
d single blaze or with figures ir.
regularly spaced. 1t may then be
of fine ruby red and is much
sought after, but oftenest the uni
form tint is only green or reddish,
and has but little brilliancy to
speak of.
The cutting is important for
the opal; thus a thick stone will
be much less beautiful than thin
one, which, on losing part of its
volume, loses also the figure. The
foundation tint contributes much
to the beauty. 1t ought to be
transparent, slightly milky, and
harmonic fully with the different
reflections of the opal, which,
when it is really beautiful, pre-
sents a variety of hues infinitely
pleasing to the eve.

Railroad men who have studied

will be the greatest summer in his
tory for western travel In another
column we publish the Burlington
Routes advance bulletin of eXcur-
sion rates, and it will be noted that
some Of them are the lowest verel

those in Colorado and on the Pacific

many special low rate excursions
through the mountains. Even the
steamship companies have taken up
the excursion idea and reduced rates
