CEYLON THE GORGEOUS

CONES THE FINE TEL
Early Singh0lese Painting. SeuIDt-

DeUoted to Religion.

That the fine arts had reached a wonderfully a.
vanced stage OF development, At a very early
period IN Singhalese history. Is evidenced bv tbs
examples yet TO be found, some IN a remarkssls
state OF preservation. IN Lanka-'"The ResDlsu-
dent" But. since the priesthood discouraged i1ars
nation and invention. and. indeed prohibited their
expression pictures, statues and ediaces hovavs,
notable for Ingenious adaptation OF material for
imposing proportions. for skill and faithfulnsss q,
execution. or for profusiOn OF decorative effects
were conventional in design and composition. 7.
consequence. there has been no improvement IN ds
sign; and. Tennent has pointed out. the seris,
OF subjects and designs IN the temples OF the mod
ern CeyIon identical with those described by
the Chinese traveller. Fabian, IN the fourth cen
tury.
The priesthood through the ages has "ovsr
whelnned invention by ecclesiastical conventlon'-
those OF Egypt. India and Ceylou. as OF Greece IN
It's earliest years. and OF Rome and Byzantlun IN
the Middle Ages. Tennent fits Sir Gardiner Wl.
kinsOn's description OF ths relics OF Egyptian
painting and sculpture to the singhalese: '1Ths
same formal outline the same attitudes and uost-
UreS OF the body, the same conventional modes o.
representing the different parts. were adhered ..
at the latest at the earliest periods No imnrovs.
ments were admitted. no attempts to copy natur.
give proper action 70 the limbs. Certain rule,
and certain models had been established by Law
and the faulty conceptions OF early times vsr,
copied and perpetuated by every succeeding
artist" And he adds. "One scene IS but the FAC.
simiIe OF previous one. and each may almost b
regarded as exponent OF the state OF the art a
any preceding period"
In sculpture. however. athe artist had. as ths
painter had not. avenue OF escape from the hide
bound restrictions Of the priesthood n the wide
range Of materials he might employ. and their ap3i-
cation On these he might lavish the artistic fancy
denied expression in form and pose. For example
Fabian speaks OF "a figure OF Buddha. twenty
three feet IN height formed OF blue jasper ahi
set with precious stones that sparkled with singl
lar spIendor. and which bore in It's right hand
pearl OF priceless value" While granite was moa
generally used. ivory and sandalWOOd. copper and
bronze, served materials for statues also. The

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.

The post norton statistics OF the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia especially
when the victim was p-edisposed to
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened. irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food the BODY
does not receive the required nour-
ishment. constipation ensues. and the
victim becomes thin. weak ana bag
gard, As a result tho body becomes
a fertile field for the germs of dis
ease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered Is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
of one OF the most insid-
ious and fatal diseases known 20
mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable IL properly
treated. w. b. Mcpherson sells a
remedy which he positively guaran-
tees will cure Indigestion or dyspep-
STA or he will pay for all the medi-
cine used during the trial. This
remedy is an absolutely new medi-
cal discovery and has been named
Rexan Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly
no offer could be more fair, and the
offer of w. b. Mcpherson is proof
positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are a dependable and infallible
remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine
will cost you nothing II 1t does not
benefit you we urge you who are suf-
fering with indigestion or dyspepsia
to Try this remedy. A twenty-five
cent box OF Rexall Dyspepsia TAB
lets contains enough medicine for
fifteen days treatment. Remember
Rexell Dyspepsia Tablets are only
sold in Paducah by w. d. Mcpherson

Thiri-CIass Pnssenpcrs.

In the street car of a large city,
where public sentiment unquestion-
ably forbids any division of pas
sengers into classes" at different
rates of fare, the presence of the pas
senger who is so unciyilized in his
ideas of passengers own rights and
duties toward other passengers as
to be considered properly a third
class passenger. is too notorious a
fact to be questioned. From time 20
time complaints are made by pas
sengers Of carelessness or fragrant
rudeness shown to passengers by
street car conductors or motormen,
and too many of us have learned by
experience that such things happen;
but We must admit that little some
thing can be said for the conductor
who has TO deal with such a very
mixed lot Of persons. HIS duties are
manifold, and his running schedule
fixed: he has much to contend with,
and no schooling except at the ex-
pense of the passengers, in the diff
fcult art Of dealing quickly with
many hundreds OF separate persons
in a day.--New York Evening Sun.

1t to be most important for the public
to know its worth. For the past ten
years l have been the most miserable
of men. Did not know what the
trouble was but had to urinate very
frequently both day and night; was
all pulled up generally. Could not
sleep more than a couple or hours at
a time, was greatly distressed after
eating a meal and was about worn
out. | had tried nearly everything
could see advertised and hear Of,
without helping me to any great ex-
tent, until finally in October last at
Ripan, Wis, / purchased a one dollar
bottle OF Swamp-Root and COM
menced taking 1t according TO direc-
tons and / followed that with anoth-
er bottle and experienced such great
relief and benefit from same that /
purchased five dollars worth at
Huntsville, Ala, and continued it's
use and am now taking it, but in
smaller doses and twice a day in
place Of four times day and believe
by the time present supply is used
up will be entirely we'll | am feel
ing better now than for ten years
past. Can eat and sleep first class,
