 "No outsider has any fair basis on which to judge the curriculum at West Point No body of scholars, however keen their minds, could be of the slightest value to the military acad- emy." This is the dictum pronounc- ed by the elder conservatism. Else where, West Pointers admit that ex- pert educators, bringing unbiased Judgments to bear, might find, if not the weak points of the system, the spots in which 1t Is least strong. They might make recommendation which had already been tried and found un- feasible for good reasons. They would doubtless return many stimu- lating and some practicable sugges- tions But all agree that the pro- blems of West Point are so vitally of the bone and nerve of the place that any actual innovations should be made by the graduates themselves. .--Boston Transcript.

I would also mention the fact that while many girls conoA to us. who can scarcely read at all thov become through the reading of scrip- ture twice a day, very fair readers in .a few months. So I have come to regard the Bible as one of the best of text books. Rev. Artemas J. Haynes in speaking of meeting the needs of the sorrowful and downcast about us says, What we need is sympathy temper.d with justice: sympathy without jus tice is to be avoided. There is not < much need of sitting down and weer- ing with those that weep, as the sym pathy that lifts them out of their self pity" Yes, since self pity is one of the giants of selfishness that should be overcome, seek to teach this truth. Some have expressed admiration for our work, because they say, We help people to help themselves. We ctr- tainly have horror of pauperizing and duringrmy 1S years work I nave vet to learn of one becoming a pauper who had passed through our home Instead of this, we aim not onlv to teach the best methods of the peacIi- cal side of life, but what is of more yalIle Wa teach them to pot thnr7 selves in hand to govern themselves.

JEFFERsON's INAUGURATION.
Refutation of the Yarn That He Rode
 to the Capitol.

Jefferson did not ride on horseback to the capitol for his inauguration. He was at the time living as Vice President at a boarding house within a stones throw of the capitol, and he simply walked across the square to the capitol. escorted bX body of mili- tia and accompanied>by the secretaries of the navy and treasury and a num- Der of congressman. The-sinple facts can be learned from the lives of Jef- ferson or such histories as that of Henry Adams, and the details are giv- en in a letter written by Edward Thornton, then in charge of the Brit ish legation at Washington, to Lord Grenville, the foreign secretary in Pitts administration at the time. The absurd story of Jefferson riding to the capitol on horseback and hitching the horse to the palings. then going in to take the oath, was started by John Davis, one of the Englshmen who were among the hangers-on of Aaron Burr, in book of American travels published In London two years afterward The story was spread by the federallst newspapers and its cur rency still persists. Davis added to the story. in order to impress his Eng lish readers the more that he was himself present at the inauguration. This statement is as false as the story itself. Davis was not then In Washington. The matter Is of little moment. Jefferson was
 President, in the habit of going on horseback. rather than in a carriage, where business called him. But the story was circulated for the sake of damaging Jefferson by making 1t seem that he despised proper form and de- corum--and 1t was untrue; although 1t certainly is true that in all proper ways he wished to set the country an example of republican simplicity, and that in this he did a service which may we'll be gratefully remembered and emulated- D.

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
 to Consider in the Search for Happiness and Health.

The burning question to you, is, Are you getting out of life all the pleasure and the health you are en- titled to? If not, why not?
 No matter whether every organ and member of your body is in a sound state of health and strength, if your stomach is in any way disordered, you are not going to be yourself" You are going to be worried, out-ofsorts, nervous or sullen individual, whose ac- tions will reflect your condition inside, and people will naturally avoid you.
 The world wants to smile and he cheerful, and unless you are cheerful and smile. at least occasionally, you will have few friends, fewer opportu- mites. no successes. and you will go down in defeat--defeated by dyspep- sia and had stomach.
 A good and thorough digestion has quick. wonderful reaction upon the brain. You must have noticed it many times. for the brain and stomach are as intimately connected as a needle and it's thread one can hardly be used to advantage without the other If your stomach is slow and lazy in di- sesting your food if will produce at once 3 slow. lazy and cloudy influence upon vour brain. Mark it! If your stomach has absolutely quit work. and fermentation is poisoning your vitals as a result, surely your brain is going to be sluggish and correspond NT T1 +1f that
 But why continue to suffer all the miseries and torments that a disorder ed stomach brings you?
 If your stomach can not digest your food, what will? Where's the relief? Where's the cure9
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the relief and the cure Why? Because as all stomach troubles arise from in digestion and because one ingredient of stuarts Dyspepsia Tables is able to thoroughly and completely digest s.000 grains of any kind of food, doesn't if stand to reason that these little Dvs- pepsia Tablets are going to digest all the food and whatever food you put ] into vour stomaChE science nowadays can digest food without having to use the stomach for it And Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets are the result of this scientific discovery. They digest and digest thoroughly and well, anything and everything you eat
 So, if your stomach refuses to work or can't work, and YOU suffer from  eructation bloat brash. fermenta ton. biliousness, sour stomach. heart burn, irritation, indigestion, or dvs- pepsia of whatever form. just take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see the difference. It doesn't cost you much to prove il. Then you car eat all you want. what you want
 when you want, if you use these tab lets, and you can look the whole world

headed by a brass band, set out for the beating of the bounds" the cere- mony of which the humping" is a part. They marched, followed by a large crowd of the inhabitants of the town and many persons from other places, to the nearest point of the boundary. which happened to,be in the middle of a ploughed field. Here had been set up post around which the crowd had collected.
 The hellman changed his bell for or der, the charter of the borough was read, and then, seized by stalwart arms, the mayor was lifted and bumped" quite hard several times on the top of the post. Then came the turn of the aldermen in order of port Illness, each being well and truly bump ed to the entire satisfaction of the people. standing around. But the cli- max vas reached when the inspector of police, with his sergeant and men, was subjected to the same process. With helmets flying and tunics all awry, each man was lifted and depos,- ited, none too gently, on the apex of the post. The process was repeated at every point of the boundary, so that when the ceremony was finished many prominet citizens had every reason to remember for a long time to come ex- actly where the borders of Dunstable cease. After this performance there was another interesting to great many---the tasting of the ale and the solemn pronouncement of the. ale tas- ter" prominent member of the town council, that the ale was of good quality and assize." Following this a number of barrels were opened and the jolly bumpers and the smarting bumped refreshed themselves with beer. bread and ese.--New York Tribune.
