1T gives me pleasure to have you use my
photograph and testimonial in behalf of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey, which saved my life when
two Of the best doctors had given me up to die;
was taking Duffy's at the time, and kept right
on, had great faith in its wonderful curative
powers. had lung trouble and a weak heart.
and for six months unable to lie down at
night on account of coughing and smothering
spells. I reduced to ninety pounds and was
going into consumption: The impression of both
my friends and the doctors being that could not
live. Despite their opinion, gave up medicine,
and after taking four bottles Of Duffy's my condl-
ton was greatly improved. This was in the Fall
and 1 continued the use Of your grand medicine
all winter. the result being that by Spring
weighed 125 pounds, and after taking twenty bot
ties my health was fully restored and I never
felt stronger or better in my life I advised
number of friends who had throat and lung
trouble to take Duffys, and it failed to cure
them. MRS MARY HORN-LOCKWOOD, S4

EDUCATION IN RUSSIA.
NJ. kauf fman's Plans Call for Large
EDtensiOn of 1t.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-The Minister of
Education NJ. Kaufman. has submitted to the
Cabinet plan for the reform Of the primary
educational system. The most important feat
ure of the minister's proposals provides for the
abandonment of the old police which. in accord
ance with the dictum Of NJ. Pobiedonostsef, ex-
Procurator General OF the Holy Synod. that
education synonymous with revolution,
threw hindrances in the way Of the efforts Of
the Zemstvos and private persons to spread ele-
mentary knowledge among the Russian peas
antry and even imposed veto on instruction
being given in history and other similar branches
Of education.
NJ. Kaufman recommends instead that the
central government support, materially and
morally, all such efforts and assume the pay
ment Of minimum salaries to teachers in the
popular schools opened by the Zemstvos and
other local administrations. AS the greatest
difficulty in the way Of speedy institution of
general. obligatory, elementary education is the
lack of capable teachers, the minister proposes to
Increase, at the states expense, the number Of
schools where teachers educated and the al
lowanoes made to the existing institutions. In
regard to the schools for the non Russian popu-
letion the minister proposes to permit element
ary education being given to pupils in their
mother tongue the condition that the teach
ing OF Russian history and geography must be
in Russian.
