ABOUT RHEUMATISM

There are few diseases that inf1ict
more torture Khan rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot Of rene
dies have been suggested. To say that
it can be cured is, therefore. a bold
statement to make. but Chamberlain's
Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive
sale. has met with great success in the
treatment Of this disease. One appli-
cation Of Pain Balm will relieve the
pain. and hundreds of sufferers have
testified to permanent cures by its use.

Mr.. Mccook's Address

1T gives me great pleasure TO ad-
dress you at the close of your school.
The character of work that has
been done during this term can scarce
ly be known.
The real method used and ends
reached may never be thoroughly I'M
derStood in time. eternity alone can
reveal the true methods used and the
true nature of the results obtained.
Time may show family the markings
Of a teachers labors but as her cycles
roll unfolding into eternity we then
know the real value of instruction
given. which at its giving seemed to
accomplish but little. If the term now
closing has been taught by a teacher
prompted by no higher motive than
that of securing a stipulated GALAXY to
be paid monthly by the Board of Pub
lie Instruction of your county; if she
has but little or no concern of the well
fare Of her pupils. if her motives are
those of a selfish nature and she has
no higher ideal than that pertaining to
a selfish purpose: if the patrons of this
school have supported it solely from a
selfish standpoint and the pupils at
tending have come from a sense of
having nothing else TO do, or gathered
together here five days Of each week
for the purpose of spending a few
hours each day in merriment with no
idea Of the value of that time and OPP
portunity: with no parental encourage
ment of wholesome instruction by the
teacher, the term closing today is a
failure.

has been taught by a teacher, coming

vate the human race. with a heart

warfare against the black giant. 'ig-
nOrance:' if she is supported by q
patronage giving encouragement and
lofty ideas 10 their children: If the pu-
pills attending this school have been
made stronger by the work of this

Every system Of true education

THE GARDENER

Many of the hybrid perpetual roses
win bloom in autumn, and these re-
uuire less pruning after the first crop
OF flowers than the ordinary Summer
roses. 1t is ever well to prune the
hybrid perpetual roses more freely in
the Spring to lessen the exhaustion
caused by a generous crop of bloom,
and thus encourage an earlier growth,
as it is upon this wood that the lat
er buds develop.
Prairie roses, crimson and other
rambler roses, also June roses, and
all Summer-blooming roses that
bloom but once during the season,
should be pruned twice a year
Early in the Spring, when the dead
and sickly parts should be cut OIL
and removed, and again after the
blooming season is past, at which
time the older, stunted, and ex
hausted branches should be taker
off, and only the vigorous new shoots
left for future blooming. 1t is sur
prising how much benefit is derived
from such pruning. 1t has beer salt

FASTER THAN A PRoJECTILE

In one of the Government 0
tories at Washington experiments
have recently been made by the AID
of an ingenious Photographic device
in measuring the velocity with which
molecules are shot off from metal
electrodes when a spark from a Ley
den jar is discharged through them.
The average velocity, with one mil
limetre from the pole of the cleo
trode, was at the rate of nearly a mile
and a quarter a second, which IS
three times the initial velocity of Il
modern -rifed-cannon ~projectile. YET
this immense velocity fell off so ra
pidly that at a distance of four mil
limetres it was only a quarter OF
mile per second. The velocity varies
with different metals, and the Govern
ment scientists think the experiment;
may lead to important discoveries II

slider How well a tree o. bush thrives
after the dead and latent branches
are removed, it would seem that the
statement is true. In pruning, If
you wish to take a branch that is
not growing freely, cut it a to a
vigorous shoot along the stem, or
cut it close to the trunk, the wound
will heal over, while if cut along the
remaining part it will die, and in time
decay, and perhaps be the means OF
destroying the entire bush. This adj
vice is even more important in prun-
ing trees and the larger shrubs, as
most of our roses are of short dura-
ton, the stems frequently dying to
the ground, and replaced by new or
growing ones from the pods.

INERTIA OF NERVES.

The researches and experiments of
Messrs. Broca and Richet have led
them to the conclusion that the cere.
bral system is incapable of perceiv-
ing more than an average of ten sep
arate impressions per second.
After each excitation of the nerves
a period of inertia follows, lasting
about one-tenths of a second, and
during this period a new impression
cannot be made.
According to the same authorities
a person cannot make than ten,
or, at the most, a dozen, separate
voluntary movements of any kind in
a second, although the muscles, in

of making as many as 80 or 40.

ELECTRIC PHOTOGRAPHS.

Monsieur de Heen, a Belgian scien-
fist, has succeeded in procuring pho
geographic impressions by simply al
lowing a current of air filled with
floating lycopodium dust to impinge
upon a sensitive plate in a dark room.
His explanation is based upon the
well-known fact that whenever the
air containing particles of watery va
por or fine dust is driven against u
solid object it produces Identification,
and he thinks that the electricity de-
veloped by the impact Of the dust
charged air with the sensitive plates
alone suffices to affect the latter with
out the intervention of light rays OF
