World,s oidsst Industry.

The pearl fisheries Of Ceylon are said
to be the oldest industry in the world.
For over 5000 years the pearl oyster
harvest has been gathered by the ma
tives, who, skilled in diving, have hand
ed down the industry from one genera
ton to the next. Pearl fishing in Cey-
lon today is somewhat Of speculation.
The greatest care is taken lest when
the shells Of the bivalves are opened
any of the precious gems be lost or
stolen. A very strict watch is kept
over the natives who are employed in
this kind Of work, but in spite Of the
greatest precautions some Of the small
er stones are frequently concealed. The
refuse from the shells Is very carefully
examined subsequent to this first ex-
animation. Even the dried dust of the
oyster is carefully siftcd.

What Mamorx In.

The correct way to increase the pro-
ductivity Of the memory is to link ev-
cry new thing with an understood
thought already in hand. Merely to
memorize the Bible and thus to be
able parrot-like to speak 1t by heart
is not memory. Intellectually and emo
tionally to appreciate and understand
one psalm or proverb Is memory. To
know where to put your finger on the
right verse or passage Of the Bible on
your table Is practical and useful rec

cyclopedias. indexes and reference
books do the mechanical part for you.

Bad Hearing.

When Proctor Knott, now dead, was
governor Of Kentucky an Influential
citizen Of mountain county In the
eastern end Of the state was convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced to serve
a term Of years in prison.
Having an aversion to going to pris-
on the mountaineer brought pressure
to bear upon the executive Office with
view to securing pardon. His en-
emies were equally active In fighting
his petition, and they set on foot a
movement to convince the pardoning
power that he was n menace to the
peace of the community and belonged
behind steel bars.
One day the governor received a let
ter written personally by the convicted
man. 1t began us follows:

LORDS AND Re1AIneas.
The Fsudal System Has Not Vet Seen
Entirely Eliminated In japan.

There Is In japan n social relation
ship between employer and employee
not known In your country. 1t Is the
relationship Of lord and retainer. For
many centuries Japan was under a
feudal system where the giver Of "yok"
lor annual pension) was the lord, while
the recipient Of it was the retainer.
Such feudalistic relations between pay
er and payee have not yet altogether
died away In this country, though they
are gradually diminishing with the cap
utilization of labor. Even today he
who pays wages is allowed to assume
something Of the mental attitude Of
the lord--not IN despotic but in a
protectoral sense-toward those who
receive them.
A young man who was earning his
school expenses by work in America
came into possession Of lengthy let
ter from his mother left behind in. ia
pan repeatedly advising him to be loyal
to the person Of his master, and he
looked around to find, to his renewed
surprise, that nobody would claim in
the republic such personal loyalty as
his good old mother must have meant
But In Japan there exist many sub
jects for his quasi feudalistic virtue.
My American readers may think that
the comparative scarcity Of strikes in
Japan is due to lack Of self assertion
on the part of laborers, but that is not
quite right. The chief explanation
must be found in their active loyalty
to their employers person rather than
in their passive forbearance.-From
"Japan's Message to America" by
Kojiro Matsukata ID. G. L. Yale).

etion in the Tissues Of Remarkable kntidote


rheumatism is often the effect of some
other blood affliction that has left its i'm
press in the joints, muscles and mucous
coverings of the body. 1t works into the
tissue cells, those tiny, little bodies in
which nutrition goes on And it is here
that a most remarkable medicine known
as S. S. S. does it's most active and most
effective work.
Its action is marvellous. Bed-ridden
rheumatics get on their feet as if by
magic. That cold. clammy sensation that
made you hug red hot stove is gone in
twinkling That excruciating pain that
made a feather lay as heavy as ton of
coal on the skin is gone. You get up and
dance with glee.
Your rheumatism is gone absolutely!

Sure Specific fushes your blood, gives
your entire blood circulation a fine
thorough bath. 1t just naturally and in a
