Wrong Method of Teaching. Consul Paul Nash, of Venice, writes: "Hundreds of well-educated Americana annually pass through Venice and, al though probably nine-tenths of them have had several years of instruction in a European language, not one tenth are capable of speaking a dozen connected words of anything but Eng lish. Even college graduates, fresh from prize-winning in French or Ger man, are generally unable to speak either language, although capable of writing an excellent thesis on their history, phflolqgy, syntax and litera ture. This is the result of teaching French and German in much the same way that Latin and Greek are taught.” Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local appllcatl >na, as they cannot reach the dis eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube la Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deaf ness Is the result,and unless the Inflammation caa be taken out aud this tube restored to Its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We win give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Pend for circulars, free. r. J.

Uses of Masks. “Among the North American Indians the origin of the use of masks lay,” says a writer, “in the desire to con ceal the emotions. Thus should two warriors meet in combat, the mask conceals any expression, whether of sympathy, fear or other emotion. For Instance, the knowledge that fear was depicted on one’s face and that his an tagonist knew it would very possibly insure the defeat of the one whose feelings were betrayed to the other.” Autos In German Army. The German Volunteer Army Corps Is provided with "7 automobiles in charge of uniformed drivers, which carry staff officers to and fro.

GAINED 34 POUNDS Persistent Anaemia Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills After Other Remedies Had Failed. “ When I began taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,” says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine, “I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble amentia. I bud spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to, I bud such dis tress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast- that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had had several numb spells. My limbs would be cold and without nay feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me. ‘‘Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me nnd ouc morning I awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disap peared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no incon venience. I also slept soundly. I have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure anaemia because they actually make new blood.

The Story of Postum Cereal in Words and Pictures. The growth of the Postum Cereal Co. is like a fairy tale, but it 13 true, every word of it. “The Door Unbolted” i3 the title of a charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and il lustrates, the story of this remark able growth It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started Jan. 1, 1895, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the “White City” | that comprise Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a most interesting build ing, for it represents the humble be ginning of one of the country’s great I est manufacturing ei ' ' 3 of to * day, an enterprise grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting is the quaint of ficial home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post | and his associates is a reproduction of I the Shakespeare house at Stratford on-Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sums of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. That Mr. Pest has believed thor oughly in the idea of giving to his employes attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company | and its furnishings, but by his fac j tories as well, and of all of these 1 things this beautiful little booklet tells j the interesting story.

Mayor Stoy of Atlantic City was ! describing the cosmopolitan throngs i that visit his famous and gay resort. | “Every nationality comes here,” he said. "Greeks, Turks, Hindoos, Chi nese, Moors—they all come. “I was talking the other day to one of the physicians of the Pasteur In stitute—the hospital, you know, for the prevention and cure of hydropho bia. The Pasteur Institute reminded me of Atlantic City, its visitors seemed to be of such a diversified character. | “The physician told me about an In dian chief who had come to him for treatment last year. “ ‘My name,’ said the chief, ‘is War Eagle. Please take me in hand. I fear I am getting hydrophobia.’ “ Have you been bitten,’ the physic ian asked, ‘by a mad dog?’ “ ‘Not exactly bitten,’ War Eagle answered, ‘but I have the gravest sus I picions about a black poodle that was served to me in a ragout last Friday afternoon.’" _ TEN YEARS OF PAIN. Unable to Do Even Housework Be cause of Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton street, Napoleon, O., says: “For fif teen years i was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me ter ribly. Every turn or move caused sharp shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared be fore me. and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me.

Lord Rothschild, who is taking a prominent part in the commission which is considering as to the best territory for Jewish colonisation, ie the wealthiest member of the wealth iest and most famous banking house in the world. His monetary and social influence suggest the monarch rather than the financier. There is a story that Jay Gould once called upon him on business. Lord Rothschild sent out word that he was too busy to see the caller. Mr. Gould, no^ accustomed to being denied audience by anyone, sent back rather a tart repetition of his r* quest. After an interval the attendant returned with this reply from Lord Rothschild: “Tell Mr. Gould that Eu rope is not for sale.” High Position for Admiral. Rear Admiral Willard H.

Prom a communication read to the Association of Belgian Chemists it seems that continental bakers are in the habit of mixing soap with their dough to make their bread and pastry nice and light. The quantity of soap varies greatly. In fancy articles h.te waffles and fritters it is much larger than in bread. Enmity of your enemies is less un ; certain than the friendship of youf | friends. The rural vote must be cultivated! To this end, Mr. Candidate bought a small farm for a summer home, and Mrs. Candidate, as a politician's wife and ever interested in her hushand’s affairs, entered enthusiastically upon the duty of educating herself In its varied interests "George,” she began one hot day, fanning herself with her sun bonnet while she studied her husband's draw ing for an addition to the farmhouse, "when will you begin to build?” “Never!” replied her husband from behind a Farmer's Bulletin. “Good heavens!” exclaimed his wife. “You surely don't expect me to spend another summer here without more room, do you?” Mr. Candidate laid aside his Bulle tin, carefully selected another and re sumed his reading without replying to his wife’s question. , Mrs. Candidate’s indignation grew as she watched him. “Really, George,” she said, her voice vibrating with resentment, “am I to interpret your silence as a refusal to make any explanation of this extra ordinary change of plan?” “You wouldn’t like the explanation after it was made, Mattie,” s;id her husband, continuing to read. “Of course, that means, George,” said his wife, bitingly, “that the ex planation involves some criticism of me.” Mr. Candidate read on. “Well, George,” said Mrs. Candi date, so offended that her voice trem bled, “you wouldn’t treat me with such scant courtesy if I were one of your constituents.” “My constituents are more careful of my interests than you are, Mattie,” said her husband, curtly. “Mercy, George!” exclaimed his wife, actually stuttering with surprise, “How can you say that, after all I’ve done this summer to make you—well, solid with the country voters!” Mrs. Candidate paused. Mr. Candi date read with an obliviousness that thoroughly aroused her. "Look at this hideous dress,” she exclaimed, her voice thrilling with in dignation, “and this check apron and this sun bonnet that I’ve worn to im press the farmers' wives and daugh ters!” Mrs. Candidate’s voice broke with the pathos of her sacrifice. Mr. Can didate preserved a sphinx-like silence. “Don’t I churn publicly under the big tree in the back yard every morn ing just to show that I respect labor, and didn't we put the hennery right next to the public road so that every body could see that I wasn’t too proud to feed the chickens?” The climax found Mrs. Candidate breathless and Mr. Candidate still un provoked to speech. “If you can deny all this, George,” resumed his wife, with a majesty of brow suited to Lady Macbeth herself, "I haven’t another word to say.” Mr. candidate rose and took several turns up and down the shady gallery. “Well, Mattie,” he finally said, with the air of one who reluctantly yields to pressure and performs a disagreea ble duty, “what did you say to the leading dairyman of the county yes terday?” Pausing in his promenade and looking intently at his wife. Mrs. Candidate became suddenly limp. “I see, Mattie.” said her husband, resuming his walk, “that you can re call as distinctly as 1 do your state ment to that dairyman that you con sidered it unrefined, even vulgar, to sell milk.” Mrs. Candidate hung her head. “Now, Mattie," he continued, with a district attorney’s manner; “what did you say the day before to Mr. Poul terer?” Mrs. Candidate dropped among the Varmer’s Bulletins completely un strung. “Well, George,” said the wife, with an effort, “the very moment I told him that I didn’t see how anybody could eat the kind of chickens he raises, I saw that I had made a mis take,” and Mrs. Candidate brightened a little with the confession. “Indeed!” exclaimed her husband, with a sarcastic intonation that made his wife subside again. “Perhaps you understand now. Mat tie, why I have abandoned all idea of spending our summers rn this farm.” and Mr. Candidate, with the calm of desperation, filled his pipe and lighted it, while Mrs. Candidate reflected bit terly upon her many vain sacrifices to the prejudices of the country voters.—Washington Post. Shakespeare’s Advice. Shakespeare put into the mouth of Polonius the injunction, “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.” If this advice is to be held to be in keep ing with the rest of Shakespeare's advice as to wisdom, it must be con strued differently than it usually is. "In the multitude of counselors there is wisdom” is an old saying, but equal ly as old is the well known fact that one man who knows his business is worth more than 20 who don’t. Mine of Financial Information. William Barrett Ridgley, comptrol ler of the currency since 1901, is a hu man treasure house for hoarded ro mances and tragedies in money.

Dig Fish From Mud. The native of certain parts of India are in the habit every year, in the sum mer, of digging the dry river banks for fish, which they dig out by hun dreds, just as they would potatoes. The mud lumps are broken open, and the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long, will be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed from its supposedly native element the water.

Depew Writes Reminiscences. While Senator Chauncey M. Depew was enjoying his long rest at Ardsley on-the-Hudson he did a good deal of work on his reminiscences. He is not sure that they will ever be published, his idea being that they might be of interest to his son. In his fifty years of public life Mr. Depew has known a great many prominent personages and his reminiscences can hardly fail to be exceedingly readable. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, thiB being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory if proner attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. To Represent Italy and Spain. The two great Catholic countries of Europe, Italy and Spain, are sending new ambassadors to the court of St. James. The marquis di San Giuliano, who will represent Italy, is compara tively a young man. He comes of an old Sicilian family of Norman descent, and is highly cultured, having traveled extensively with good results. He is an enthusiastic student of Dante, and Is president of the Italian Geographical society. Senor Villa Urattia, the new Spanish ambassador, accompanied King Alfonso to London on the mo mentous occasion that ended in his en gagement to Princess Ena, and won golden opinions for his tact and cour tesy during that visit. Checked Attempt at Monopoly. Trusts were sometimes dealt with summarily in old England. For in stance, the records of the Brewers’ company show that “on Monday, July 30, 1422, Robert Chichele, the mayor of London, sent for the masters and 12 of the mo3t worthy of our company to appear at the Guildhall for selling dear ale. After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt, wherein Whityngtone, the late mayor, declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the malt, to raise its price, they were convicted in the penalty of £20 ($100), which ob jecting to, the masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamber lain’s custody until they should pay it, or find security for the payment thereof.” NEW YEAR’S CALLS. A New Drink to Replace the Old-Time “Apple-Jack.” Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year’s calls was a de lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more “egg-nog” or "apple-jack” than they could suc cessfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charit able and the gentlemen tried to _ be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop j to consider, among other things, the j fact that the old custom of New Year’s calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one’s friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and an other good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum in stead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sen sible daughter who has set Postum I before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes: “My daughter and I have used Postum for some time past, and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. “I shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year’s callers.” Read “The Road to .WeliviUe” in pkgs. “There’s a reason.” BOY’S HEAD ONE SOLID SORE. Hair All Came Out—Under Doctor Three Months and No Better— Cuticura Works Wonders. Mr. A. C. Barnett, proprietor of a general store in Avard, Oklahoma, tells in the following grateful letter how Cuticura cured his son of a ter rible eczema, “My little boy had ec zema. His head was one solid sore, all over his scalp; his hair all came out, and he suffered very much. i had a physician treat him, but at the end of three months he was no bet er. I remembered that the Cuticura Remedies had cured me, and after giving him two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, according to directions, and using Cuticura Soap and Oint ment on Wm daily, his eczema left him, his hair grew again, and he has never had any eczema since. We use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and they keep our skin soft and healthy. I cheerfully recommend the Cuticura Remedies for all cases of eczema. A. C. Barnett, Mar. 30, 1905.” _ Sounded Praises of Soap. In a guide to etiquette published early in the last century the writer says that “soap does not irritate the complexion; some of the finest com plexions we have known have been regularly washed with soap every day.” The same authority remarks that “the daily bath is now the rule rather than the exception, and common sense has triumphed over the decision that wash ing was injurious.” And then the writer has a dig at her great-grand mother, “whose only ablutions con sisted in wetting her cheeks with a - cambric handkerchief dipped in rose j water.” “In all our directions with re I gard to the bath,” adds this early Vlc ! torian dictator, “it must be borne in I mind that we only refer to those in sound state of health.” Keep in Good Health.

It Is doubtful if any royal consort Is more loved by her people than is the empress of Japan. Educated accord ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all the accomplishments befitting one of her social eminence, her majesty strongly favors the broadness of the new education for women and from her private purse gives large Bums toward the maintenance of women's schools and universities. During thf war with Russia the empress visited the hospitals many times and every day passed hours making bandages j The effect of these bandages upon the wounded soldiers has been of deep in I terest to medical and scientific men, for the soldiers honored by them seemed to rally under a peculiar men tal influence. All other bandages were ; destroyed after their first use; those , made by the empress were sterilized and used again for the simple reason of their effect on the recovery of the soldiers.
