ROCKEFELLER GIVES; OIL IS UP.
New Profits of $4,000, 900 May Offset
$32,0oo,o00 Benefaction.

iladelphia.-With the announce
ment of the proposed gift by John D..
Rockefeller of $32, 5000 to the Gener-
al Education Board comes notice to
the oil dealers and consumers all over
the country of an advance in the price
of oil which will net the Standard
Oil company about $40,000,000 addi-
tional in a single year.
1t is estimated from the figures at
hand that fully $12 100000 of the addi-
tional annual tax must come from the
homes of the working class where Oil
Is used for light and fuel
Notice of the advance in the price
of Standard Oil products was received
by dealers Thursday, the same day the
announcement of the great gift was
made. Although the advance quoted
to wholesalers is one-half cent gallon
on oil for domestic use, the public will
pay one cent additional, as the retail
dealers have raised the price to con-
sumers from 10 to IL cents per gal
lon.
The yearly consumption Of oil for
domestic purposes in Philadelphia is
about 15,500,000 gallons. So this city
alone will pay an additional sum of
$155,000 annually for the cheap grade
of oil used for light and heat.

TRUE SPIRIT OF COURTESY.
Impulse Prompted by Owners Noble.
mesa Of Heart.

Courtesy Is quality OF the heart
and suggests a forgetfulness Of self, a
refinement and delicacy OF tempera-
ment that prompts the charming act
as impulse
The gentle spirit OF courtesy be-
trays itself in the manner of address
ing servant or weary assistant be-
hind the counter as well as friends
and acquaintances. A lack OF courtesy
often results from a mistaken idea as
to ones own Importance. The thought
is born in the heart; but false idea
OF independence presents action. It
merely is an act of courtesy and a
mark of nobleness of mind voluntarily
to resign ones right in favor of an.
other.
1t Is the same mistaken idea that
confuses frankness with rudeness. It
is virtue not to resort to the many
petty receptions that mar our social
system. While we turn with disgust
from the woman who bids her friend
an affectionate farewell one moment
and breathes sigh of relief at her de-
parture the next, we can but admit
that a truly courteous heart will re-
frain from speaking an unpleasant
truth without imperiling the persons
veracity.

MENTAL FEATS PERFORMED BY
INMATES OF IOWA ASYLUM.
One Feeble-Minded Boy Is Walking
Dictionary, Another Marvellous
Speller and a Third Has
Freakish Memory.

Omaha, Neb.-The Iowa state insti-
tuition for the feeble-minded children,
located at Glenwood, has several
idiot savants," who are regarded as
remarkable. One inmate is used as
a calendar and date record, another is
utilized as dictionary, another is en-
ployed as a ready rapid calculator and
others show the marvellous but unex-
plainable traits of the learned idiots"
Dr. A. r. Schier, assistant superin-
tendent of the institution, has just
made his report, as required by the
Iowa law. The most astonishing case
he reports is that of John s., taken
into the institution when he was IL
years of age, and who has been there
23 years. He is the mental bookkeep-
er of the home.
When the date of any occurrence
about the institution is desired as in
formation John S. gives 1t. He recalls
without error the date of the employ
ment Of any new hand or the entrance
or discharge Of any inmate.
If he has seen visitor at the home
he can recall the exact date of the
visit, the condition of the weather at
that time and some Of the incidents
connected herewith, even though it
occurred years before any question is
asked him concerning it. If given the
day of the month, the month and years
of any occurrence as far back as 95
years John s. will, without hesitation,
tell upon what day of the week the
date fell. Asked how he does it he
replies that he does not know.
Marvellous ability is shown by boy
inmate about 16 years of age. He can
neither read nor write, yet he can
readily spell any word given him, and
as DR.. Schier says He has been
tried with uncommon words time and
time again and never fails to spell
them correctly. He is constantly

FARM LABoRERs IN DEMAND.
Plan Adopted by Empire State to
Supply Needed Help.

New York.-The bureau Of informa-
state department Of agriculture esti-
mates that fully $4,000 laborers will
be required on the farms of the state
this spring, and through its Office in
this city is putting into execution a
novel plan, which, in a small way,
proved highly successful in supplying
the demand last year.
The department has advertised ex-
tensively both in New York and in
Europe for agricultural laborers, and
as a consequence is in daily receipt
of many applications from men, both
single and married, who are anxious
to work on the farms of the state.
from Holland and other European
countries, where whole families are
willing to emigrate If assured of farm
employment here.
Many immigrants reaching New
York are at once engaged by the bu-
reau of farm employment. Last year
the bureau placed Ali farm laborers,
and hopes this year to increase the
number to the $4,000 which will give
the farmers of the state chance to
sleep nights. But an investigator who
day or two listened to 2S appeals
for assistance in two hours spent on
two blocks on Fourteenth street, all
of them from men "out of work" and
then recalled the many appeals Of
philanthropic and charitable organiza-
tons for funds with which to assist
New York's army of unemployed, won
ders why it should be necessary to
advertise in Europe for laborers to
relieve situation within ten miles OF
Broadway which Is little better than

LONDON NOW LIKES AUToBus.
Popularity Of Vehicle Shown by Fall.
ing of in Cube" Passengers.

London.-After all the abuse that
was heaped on the noisy, evil smelling
and nerve destroying autobus a few
months ago, it is now interesting to
note the effect the autobus has had on
the underground railways and what
it means to London.
The two penny tube" which, only
the other day, was regarded as almost
the last word of locomotion, has lost
l 900, 900 passengers during the year
and the responsibility is laid on the
autobus.
This is not an isolated instance, for
the same story has been told at almost
every railway meeting here during the
last few weeks. 1t is wonderfully
eloquent of the hold which the huge
and urwieldly but fast moving vehicle
has gained here, and the agitation
which only few months ago, was
raised against the motor seems ludi'
crous in the face of such a figure as
that mentioned at the meeting OF the
tube" company the other day.

GREAT SOLAR SPOT FOUND.
Prof. Brashear Announces Discovery

Plttsburg, Pa.-Professor John A..

enced throughout the country soon.
These disturbances, he further de-
clares, may take the form Of dis
play of the aurora borealis or tele-
graph and telephone communication
may be seriously affected
The present spot is so large that 1t
can be seen through smoked glass and
the scientist says 1t is one Of the most
active OF solar spots. In his statement
of the discovery Professor Brashear
says:
"a very large and beautiful sun spot
or solar disturbance Is now crossing
the face of the sun and is approaching
the central meridian. This is the larg-
est spot that has been seen for sew
eral years. It's approximate length is
$4,000 miles and 1t is 10000 miles
wide, covering an area of about $780,
900 square miles. There is considera-
BILE activity in the spot and there may
be some electrical disturbances on the
earth soon, but this is rather difficult
to predict on account of the position
of the disturbance in relation to the
earth.
Besides this great group of spots,
there are three other groups to the
west of it, and fourth is just leaving
the sun on the eastern side. This
great spot can be readily seen by the
naked eye with a piece of smoked
glass. Indeed, my attention was call
ed to 1t by gentleman who saw 1t
through the morning fog. We have
been observing the spot with great
interest, measuring 1t and estimating
its size. 1t is a great spot, stretching
an eighth of the way across the sun.
1t comes at a time when it is not
usual to expect sun spots and is of
greater interest for that reason. Why
1t now appears Is not explained"

q. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-ns.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh2 Have we
abundant proof that Peruna Is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United 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, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
It is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous 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 it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for Quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient OF
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. It acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.

Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier They are laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bow

the system by the natural outlet OF
the body. They stimulate the blood
so to enable nature to throw off all
morbid humors and cure all troubles
arising from an impure state of the
blood. One or two taken every night
will prove an invaluable remedy.
Each pill contains one grain of solit
extract of sarsaparilla, which, will
other valuable vegetable products
make it blood purifier unexcelled.
