A Lesson in Latin.

Discussion of the best pronunciation

story about The Duke of Wellington.

chancellor in his gorgeous robes was

was, of course, in Latin. and yelling
ton knew more about the handling of
origadeS than about Latin quantities.

the duke persisted in pronouncing the

the dons standing behind him. so. lean

will excuse me. | should like TO point
out that at Oxford we call that word

Very good said the duke. Thank
you. III remember" Presently came
the name JacObus. which. mindful of
his lesson. he pronounced "Jac-Obus."
Again the dean leaned over. Il hum

name is 'Jaco-bus'

1t Acts Slowly but Frequently Pro-

The curious effect of slow daily moi

disease as result. is shown in num-
berS of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains with
wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid
that nothing else could be seen for
minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure of sight alarm
ed me and | naturally began a very
earnest quest for the cause. About
this time l was told that coffee poison
ing sometimes took that form. and
while l didn't believe that coffee was
the cause of my trouble, / concluded
TO quit it and see.

Would Isolate All Anarchists.

The suggestion that the advocates OF
anarchy be sent TO some lonely island
where they could try out their theories
of freedom and no government is offered
by the Rev. DIR. 7. S. Macarthur of the
Calvary Baptist church, New York, in his
latest sermon. He expresses the belief
that a brief experience in the actual
practice of these theories would make
anarchists of the Berkman and Goldman
type glad enough to return to civilization
which they now denounce and try to de-
stroy, while the rest of the world would
learn with great composure of the results
which would follow their theories on this
lovely island" DR.. Macarthur does not
hesitate to connect the invectives and &C
tivities of the better class of Socialists
with the throwing of the bomb in Union

Genius and Insanity Identified

That there is an actual identity be-
tween the states of mind ordinarily under
stood as genius and insanity is the con-
clusion reached by Prof. Cesare LON
broso, but this extreme view is now COM
batted in new book by DIR. Joseph
Grasset on "The Semi-Insane and the
Semi-responsible,' translated by DIR. Jel-
life of New York. DR.. Grasset finds
that intellectual superiors frequently pos
sess psychic defects which are sometimes
very marked, and he believes that while
their intellect and their nervous affection
are connected they are not as cause and
effect. This is proved by the fact that
many people have the disease who do not
possess the genius. Grasset's conclusion
is that the common trunk which unites
superiority and neurosis is a tempera-
ment, but not disease"

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial Stress Make Farr
Lands Look Rich.

Days OF Financial Stress Make Farm
Lands Look Rich.
A staff contributor of Southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return TO the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: 1T is a well-known fact
that the history of this government
shows that those men who have been
most successful in life and who have
left their impress upon its people and
its institutions as statesmen. soldiers,
nnancierS. have as a rule been those
whose youth was spent on the farm,
and it is to such as these that there
comes with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does it come with redoubled persuasive
ness, greater power and sweeter plead
ing TO the man of affairs when the
clouds of financial unrest begin to dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people TO lose their wits and act
like stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises be-
fore him the specter of ruin, grinning
i'll his face and waving its gaunt arms
in threatening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now pass
ed, suggests these reflections. Some
were ruined and a very few became in
sane because of their losses. Two or
three took their own lives
1t is when such times come
that the statesman, the great finan-
c1er. and the man of affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
his pen, turns from his desk and
listens to THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases through
out the United States of those who
have money in the banks and are look
ing for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer Take
for instance, the lands in West
ern Canada that can be bought
at from $40 to SIS per acre
which yield a revenue equal to and
often greater than their original cost
These lands make certain invest
ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made, some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes of their
own, others to resell to farmer
friends. The agents of the government
of Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars of districts
in which there are free homestead
grants of 16O acres, each accessible 10
railways, markets, schools, churches,
etc. These are valuable lands These
agents will be pleased to give informa-
ton to any DESTROYS of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates,

A Charity Expert,s Opiuiop

Editor Devine of the Charities. organ
of the leading charity organization of
New York, says that while it may be de-
batable whether under present conditions
public meetings in the interest of the I'M
employed are advisable, he is convinced
that the suppression of them by the police
is contrary to sound public policy" In
his opinion the old-time town hall should
be re-established in a form adapted to
modern urban conditions. If it is right
to hold public meetings and discuss freely
any real OR imaginary grievances he
thinks there is no subject for which the
right should be asserted more vigorously
than that of the unemployed. 1t is his
belief that under the apprehension of
anarchism we have come to entrust our
police departments with a degree of arbi-
trary power in the matter of breaking up
assemblages of citizens, which is greater
than is found necessary in other civilized
countries. and we are strangely indiffer-
ent to the manner in which they are e1er-

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and

on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
