PHILADELPHIA, July Hilary Lewis
added another to his string OF victories last
night by stopping Jack Goldswain, who
was billed as the lightweight champion
of England. In five rounds. Goldswain
looked to weigh close to 100 pounds, and he
was not In a very good condition. He
was slow and awkward, and he had no
defense to speak of, and almost any time
Lewis tried he could land on him some
where. Lewis had all the best OF every
round, and he was gradually wearing the
Englishman down and it looked as II the
end might come at any moment after the
first round. But by clinching and holding
he was in trouble the foreigner man.
aged to stay TO the fourth round. Then
Lewis got careless, and, taking too many
chances, ran into a wild swing of Cold
SWANS that staggered him. The English
man, seeing the slight advantage he had
gained, took courage and landed several
more blows before the round ended. Lewis
was not idle. however, and he got In sew
eral hard punches, and the result was
that between Bewis's blows and his own
exertions Goldswain was pretty tired when
he went to his corner. Lewis rushed him
and landed a light tap on the jaw. He
missed the next punch. and then GoIdswain
~clinched As they broke way Jack stag
gered Harry with a hard one on the body,
following by a swing to the head. Lewis
swung and landed Goldswain fiat on his
back. He jumped up In a couple OF Sec
onds. and, clinching, saved himself. A
punch on the jaw dropped Jack, and this
time he took the count Of six. When he
got up he was wobbly on his feet. Lewis
sent a terrific left-hand swing to his stom-
nch and doubled Jack almost in two.
The latter turned and nodded to Referee
Michigan as II about to Quit, when he
dropped to his knees. Then he fell to his

to his chair. Blood was streaming from
mis- mouth and he had a badly eat lip. The
Englishman made a good impression by
his gameness, but he showed that he can
not class with good American welter-
weights.

Royal Regatta will be on at Port Dali

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of tie
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bit.
tiers, laxatives and tonics, were TO be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which was aloes and quassia, dissolved
In apple brandy. Sometimes hop
tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bit
ter barks. A score or more of popular,
homemade remedies were thus COM
pounded, the formulae for which we're
passed along from house to house,
sometimes written, sometimes verbally
communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old time custom. In the begin
nlng, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
1t ur, improve it in many ways, manu-
aacture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over q
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public fortsal DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men.
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed il
for his neighbors and his patients. The
sale of it increased, and at last he es
tablished mandatory and furnished
it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many eli
matte ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrha
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THI
USE OF PERNUA and its value il

have learned to trust and believe in DR.

Queretaro was town before the
Spanish conquest and was made a city
in 1865. A legend of Queretaro is that
an Otomite chief, Fernando de Tapia
by name, undertook to convert the city
to Christianity in way that seems
novel to us, but was common enough
to his day. He came from Tula with
challenge to the people Of Queretaro
to a fair stand up fight. If he won,
the people surviving were to be bap-
tized. The challenge was accepted, but
while the fight was in progress dark
cloud came up and the blessed San.
tiago was seen in the heavens with q
fiery cross, whereupon the people OF
Queretaro gave up and were baptized
They set up stone cross to commem-
crate the event on the site Of the pres
ent church of Santa Cruz There is
scarcely a church in Mexico which has
not legent of this kind attached to it

When people use the word "hered-
ity" they are very likely to mean some
dreadful bugaboo Of a supposed natural
law, which they have invited for them
selves. through which the poor human
race comes in for all the ailments and
weaknesses of its forbears, with none
of the conpensations.
One hears constantly such phrases as
"her mother had consumption or his
uncle drank himself to DEATH but
there is much less frankness in return
ing thanks for the physical benefits
that also come down so abundantly
from the past
1t must not be forgotten that dis
eases are not directly inherited, but
only the tendency to them. This Is
very comfortable fact, for it constant
ly offers a reward for well-directed
effort. If one knows from the start
which are the avenues open to danger
one Is forewarned and forearmed.
Those who have that knowledge will
not take the children in whose families
there have been many instances Of
tuberculosis and shut them up in stuffy
places or give them diet containing
toe little fat. They would be too wise
to let the excitable child Of nervous
parentage lead life of overstinulation
or be pushed in its studies, or to offer
sips of wine at the table to the small
boy whose father is heavy drinker.
Just as a predisposition to disease
NAV be Inherited, so also may an alb
solute inability to have 1t. One sees
this proved by persons who pass un-
scathed through epidemic after cpl
demics This shows that their Inherit
ed tendenc ytoward the disease, If they
have any, is so much weaker than their
Inherited resistance to 1t that they are
virtually unable to catch 1t.
Nature herself shows constant pref
erence for the normal, and is always
working to that end; therefore ten
dcncy to disease is the punishment for
disobeying her. Neither is she implac-
able, so that If one will only work long
enough and hard enough to correct
ones mistakes there comes a time when
nature gives clean bill of health. 1t
would be a tragic world indeed If only
the sins of the parents were visited
upon the children.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

RECLAIM LAND WORN OUT.

Portuguese Hope 10 Restore TO Gull
/ tivation 1O,OOO,0OO Acres.
! Portugal, according to Vice and Dep
uty Consul r. II. Kinchant of Lisbon,
has started in on system of land rec
1amation which, if as successful as 1t
promises to be, must result in similar
movements in various parts of Europe.
He writes:
In the south of Portugal serious
attempt is being made, with some
chance of success, to bring back into
cultivation large tract of land. This
country being essentially agricultural,
any steps to reclaim land that has gone
out of cultivation, estimated at 4,314,-
600 hectars (about 100000 acres), or
A per cent Of the total area Of Portu-
gal, are move in the right direction.
"Sone energetic members Of society
In the district Of Serpa, in combination
with the municipal authorities, have
set to work upon 100000 acres, divid-
ing it up into allotments of fifteen acres
each and letting 1t at nominal rent,
calculated according to the estimated
value of the land, which has, as 1t were,
four classifications, the highest quit
rent being placed at $500 and the low
est at 40 cents an allotment, free Of
total rates and taxes for ten years.
Quite heterogeneous mixture of
settlers has already taken possession
OF their tenements. Carpenters, ma
sons, doctors, chemists, BARRIERS, seam
stresses, tailors, and even beggars, fig
ure in the list.
Zone Of the chief difficulties to be
overcome before making the allotments
was to deal with the proprietary right
OF beekeepers, who centuries ago had
certain privileges conferred upon them
whereby they did a thriving trade in
honey and wax. This trade has in later
times diminished, owing to the destruc-
tion of the floral produce of the land,
chiefly by firing when portions thereof
were cleared for wheat and other cere-
ais. Matters have been amicably set
tied for the beekeepers and the en-
bryo agriculturists The success Of
the scheme as far as it has gone. has
stirred the ambition of the residents in
large part of the north of Portugal,
| where project on similar lines Is being
set on foot to bring back into cultiva-
tion something like half a million
acres"

The eldest house in New York State
is situated at the lower end Of Staten
Island in Tottenville. 1t is known as
the "Billopp house." and was built in
1868. The Duke of York presented
Captain Christopher Billopp with a
tract Of land on Staten Island, where
on he built this stone mansion, which
still overlooks the waters Of Raritan.
That 1t was well built its survival dur
ing 23S years attests. In 1t have been
