The Most Profitable Horse.

The most profitable horse to have on

will raise a colt each year, and it will

a little extra care the mare will do
as much work as any horse. This is

AchinaD and a Vote.

Victoria, the capital of British
Columbia, has peculiar municipal
franchise. Every person who pays
a So dog tax is entitled to vote in
elections for mayor and aldermen.
The system has led to abuses. It
has been discovered that six enter
prising women voted on the
strength of a single dog. Worse
still, one ingenious woman, unable
to get real dog in time to qualify,
took out a license for a china dog
on her mantelpiece. Municipal
franchise reform is now regarded as
question of urgency in Victoria,
and the unkind association of dogs
with mayors and aldermen is
doomed,

 Long before China opened even the five ports to western trade, far-seeing men outside the walls were struggling with its ideographs and getting a primitive version of the Bible ready for the people; and while Japan still refused to let foreigner land upon her shores, translators were picking up Japanese words from shipwrecked sailors, and, without dictionary or grammar. preparing one or another of the gospels for the Japanese. Within two weeks after Admiral Dewey's vic- tory at Manila the task of translating the Bible into some of the 34 Ian. guages and dialects of the Philippines was begun, and now a complete testa- ment may be had in three of them or the gospels in any one of half dozen others.

CONSOLATION NOT THEIR LINE
Trying to Comfort a Borrowing

 Let me give you an instance. One night last week eight men met in the library of the home of friend who had just met with a great bereave- ment. We had no concerted agree ment as to how we were to divert his mind, but each one, I think, meant to get as far from the track of trouble as possible.
 Every man in the circle of con solation was man of travel and observation. Three of the party had been around the globe three times.
 Soon after we were assembled one of the circle began to relate an ex- perience of the day before, He had been in train wreck. Before he realized 1t. think, he was telling of death scenes he had witnessed.
 Before he finished he saw his mis- take and switched. He was doing finely when the man at the end of the table broke in with a that reminds me- and before he had concluded he was unreeling an experience he had on the west coast of Africa when the ship on which he was a passenger foundered.
 He stopped suddenly in the re- cital of the worst part of the story, but not before he had told of the cap sizing of a lifeboat Every one in that boat was lost.
 Immediately, to break the effect, recently returned traveller men, uoned that while he was in China, a iew weeks before, he had met one known to all present.
 What was he doing in China?' asked another.
 The man to whom the ques ion was put replied: He was there with his family. He was travelling for the oenefit of his daughters health

Sage's defense was that the suit was purely blackmail, and it was dismissed by the supreme court. After that the woman used frequently to go to his of flee in Broadway to annoy him, and once she threatened to kill him with knife.
 Three years after the trial a body found in the cellar of a tenement house was identified as that of Della Keegan.

She was Della Keegan, who in 1893 sued Russell Sage for $10O,0OO alleging as the basis of the action breach of promise on his part. She declared that her sister was Mir Sages cook, and that she frequently went to the house, where she made the acquaintance of the millionaire. MT.

SCHCOL HABITS IN PERSIA.
Boys Sit on Floor ard Recits Lessons
 as if Chanting.

Oriental children have their mar les. their skipping rope and the little toy blows into which cats and kittens are harnessed for play. They enjoy life fully as much as do American children. When the boys are 10 years old they are sent to school in the nearest mosque. Parents will some times take a boy to school and de- liver him over to the gentle care of the teacher with these words: His bones are mine, but his flesh is yours. Teach him and punish him as you see fit"
 When boys go to school they usu- ally sit in two rows One row sits along one wall, books in hand, and the other row along the opposite wall. The teacher sits in the middle Of the room. They do not use chairs, but sit on the floor, which is GOV cred with reed mating. When they are studying their lessons they sway their bodies backward and for ward as if they were in a rocking chair and read with loud voice in a singsong style as if they were chant ing.
 They have neither blackboards nor states, but use paper and reed pens in learning to write. They put their left knee on the floor and set their right one up for desk to rest the paper on They use the Arabic al phabet and read and write from right to left instead of from left to right They also begin their books at the back, reading forward. The ability to read single Persian book is con sidered in Central Asia to be the sign of a liberal education. The attend ance at school is voluntary, no one being compelled to send his boys II he prefers to keep them at home.

DEPENDS MINERS' CHIEFS

Clarence s. Darrow the Chicago attorney who is defending William D. Haywood the secretary of the Western Miners Federation, accused of conspiring to murder former Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho is noted for his successes in the cause of workingmen. Darrow began his career as rail- road attorney, but found his real forte lay in legal assaults upon monopolies and great corporations. la the great coal strike of 1903 Darrow made a brilliant appeal for the men before the Roosevelt arbitration committee. The award of ten per cent increase in wages and $2, 100000 back pay for the miners distinct triumph for Darrow.
 Darrow's studies of the conditions under
 which workingmen live and his sympathy with their aspirations have developed marked social istic tendencies. He is a great admirer of Tolstoi

US. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe.ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc

effective re,ledy for chronic catarrhp
Have we abundant proof that Pc

remedy2 Let US sec what the Unit
ed States Dispensatory says of the
principal ingredients of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is
largely employed in the treatment Of
depraved mucous membranes, chron-
ic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic
dyspepsia (catarrh of tho stomnch),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundiee (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes Of
the pelvic organs. 1t is also recon-
mended for the treatment of various
forms OF disease peculiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna,
corydalis formosa, is classed in the
United States Dispensatory as q
tonic. So also is cubebs classed as o
stomachic and as tonic for the mu-
cous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that
has been very largely overlooked by
the medical profession for the past
fifty years. The seeds are to be
found in very few drug stores. The
United States Dispensatory says Of
the action of cedron that 1t is used
rs bitter tonic and in the treatment
of dysentery, and in intermittent
diseases as substitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. It acts on the
stomach and intestinal tract. II
acts as a stimulant on the genito.
