PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE,
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give a Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is a fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
600 workingmen, members of the
~Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces I'VE 900 a year, and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col.
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while a large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

STRONG IN BRoTHERLY LOVE

A story in the New York Press says
that a West side woman for several
weeks had noticed a little boy push.

and out Of the carriage and played
with it on the sidewalk without the
slightest show of fatigue or annoy
inc at occasional whimpers or the
wearing heat.
AS she came in one day the woman
spoke to him. He had paused near
her stoop and she saw in his face that
pathetic old look that gives trGgedy's
stamp to the children Of the poor.
Don't you ever get tired taking
care Of that heavy baby and lifting
her aroundY' she asked with more
good will than tact.
His pale face flushed, and reproach
was mingled with surprise In his voice
as he answered: "Oh, no, ina'am;
this is my little sister,"

Chambers Joke on conkIing.

Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer
and quite proud Of his skill. One
evening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to put on
the gloves" with him. He played with
Chandler for a few rounds, much to
the discontinue of the downeaster.
The, latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profess
sional pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was a guest. In the course of
the evening "Mr. Smith was induced
to engage in a boxing bout with Mr..
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with a punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was dazed,
overwhelmed, Inundated, crushed.
When he surrendered and called
enough, as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled blandly and presented
the pugilist in his true colors.

ALASKAN CABLE 10 BUSY.
Line to Be p'ppiexed and 2co More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of the
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to s24, 1000.
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by %duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which Is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, Will
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point a branch line will be ex-
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan, which is only 60
miles from Fort Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus of
the Grand Trunk ald Pacific railroads.
1t is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as it taps a coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new
line will be completed by November l..

HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
Couple Not Only Were Going to Live,
But Become Rich.

Lord Sholto Douglas, who was ar
rested recently in Maine through an
error, was congratulated at a Port
land hotel on the courtesy he had
shown in parGoning the erring Maine
police.
! why shouldn't I pardon them?"
said Lord Douglas, laughing. They
did their duty. Their calculations
were wrong, that is all.
Il admit that their calculations were
absurdly wrong. They reminded me
of a young lady | used to know. when
! lived in the west.
This young lady, whose family was
well to do, announced to her father
one night that she was going to marry
a penniless man.

grumbled, how on earth will you live?'

have figured that all out and it is
very simple. You know that black

well l have consulted the best
poultry circulars, and they all agree
that a good hen will raise 20 chicks
q year. That means that next sea-
son ! shall have 81 hens. These at
the seasons end, each having raised
her 20 young, will give me 42O in all.
The next season there will be S,400,
the next 1863. 900, and the next $780,,
900. Just think OF that! With chick.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but I became worse all the time
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it ~irritated, and it
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and l
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks / would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and l
kept getting better, and by the time
I used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. E. Blankenship, 319

What He Most Wished For

John Fiske, the American historian.
was an ardent lover of music and him
self no mean musician. Furthermore,
he was extremely corpulent and felt
the hot weather painfully. He was
once delivering a course Of lectures at
a summer school in a small city of the
middle west. The heat was terrific
and adjoining the house where the
lecturer stayed was a church where
an Unmatched but jealous quartet"
practiced and performed during all
hours Of the torrid afternoons and
evenings. One evening, seeing the IA
mou man sit for a time unoccupied
and apparently oppressed by this COM
bined affection, the young daughter of
his hostess attempted to divert him by
offering him a new novel, then just be-
coming popular. Il think The Choir
Invisible is perfectly splendid, Mr..
Fiske," said she. "Would'n you like
to read it," The historian put the
book aside. my dear young lady,"
said he, the only choir in the world
in which | could feel any interest at
this moment would be the choir in
audibla"

NE RV0US DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono.


Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the ''blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patients yes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane j. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago l became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that 1 felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid i'll thu morning as / was when I
went to bed. My head ached i'll the
mo ing and often there was a pain i'll
my right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and l was generally miserable. Then 1
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now l have no more
pain i'll my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they "a do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 80 cents per box, six
