KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE.
The Two Do Not Npoeaaarlly Walk
Hand In liana.
High marks In examinations depend
upon n trained memory and a power
of acquiring Irrelevant Information.
Culture, on the contrary, Is a sym
pathetic assimilation of the best In the
realm of thought and achievement.
Culture Is a slower process and a deep
er, and Its reward strikes further In
AsRlmllatlon of the best that has been
thought and accomplished affects not
merely the brain, but the character
the whole spirit of n man. Culture
implies a soil plowed and fertilized,
where whatever seed falls has tho
better chance for growth. Informa
tion even in vast quantities, so long
as it remains mere Information, used
for purposes of passing examinations,
need not affect the manners nor the
morals of a man; both may remain
hopelessly lav ,' an cncyclopcdlnn
mine of facN. Vut culture affects
primarily the manners and the morals.
A cultured gentleman has external
methods of getting on with his kind;
be has the true sense of relationship,
the feeling that all he can learn to feel
or to be Is not for himself, but for
service; he knows himself In ' n net
work of human inter-relations. In the
end the test of knowledge Is not ex
amination marks; it Is living. Har

The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths.
There is n disease prevailing in this
country most tlungerousi because fiodecep.

heart failure or
apoplexy are often

break down and waste away cell by cell.
bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by n proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild uud the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by ull druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size !ottlcs. You may have n
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil

THE WOOLSACK.
It la In the Houae of I.orda and Yet
la Nut a Part of It. .
It Is n curious fact that the woolsack
on which the lord chancellor sits lu the
British house of lords Is not, BtrcUy
Bpeatilnjj, in the bo'uV of lords, anil
thlB In wby when the' lord chancellor'
rises to tnke part in debate' he first of
nil moves away from the woolsack. to
his own place us a peer before he
speaks.
The fact, too, explains why noble
lords who desire to avoid voting some
times merely withdraw to the wool
sack, where, not being In a parliamen
tary sense within the house, they arc
not counted In a division.
Again, though the lord chancellor Is
now Invariably a peer, he is not neces
sarily so, and oh n matter of fact the
ofilce lias been held several times In the
past fiy commoners. In such eases the
lord chancellor could take no part In
debate, not having a place In the house

were strictly limited to the putting of
questions and otJier forraul nroofcetl-
Ings regulated by precedent from the

The Copta of Rarjrpt.
The Copts in Kgypt are the book

Jewelers and embroiderers. Their an

and Is practically a dead language.
They now use Arable, like all the rest
of the nation, but the speech survives
in tneir einircli service, a part of
which Is still given in the old tongue,

themselves do not always understand
what they are saying, having merely
learned the sentences by heart, so that

THE STOMACH.
If You Treat It Properly It Will Re
turn the Compliment.
It Is not an uncommon thing to hear
a man or woman say, "There is some
thing the mutter with my stomach."
They never Htop to think whether they
themselves are not nt fault instead of
the stomach. It Is so easy to blame
the stomach. It can't sny anything
buck.
But the truth of the mntter is the
stomach is nil right; nothing the mnt
ter with it at all. It is what Is put Into
tho stomach that Is causing the trou
ble, The stomach knows when It re
ceives something that will be Injurious
to the body or when It has been over
loaded, und it protests against the in
digestible article or the surplus amount
of food.
It Is acting as a friend and sending
put a warning against this abuse. But
Instead of being grateful to the stom
nch and leaving off the Indigestible
food nnd the big dinners the man or
the woman continues to load It with
pie nnd cake, pickles and sauces, pork
and pancakes and all sorts of horrid
things, nnd then they complain that
there is something the matter with
their stomachs. London Mall.
"When the Thunder Roll.
Excellent authorities agree that In
a thunderstorm the middle of a room
Is much the safest place In a house.
A carpeted floor or one covered by a
heavy thick rug Is better to stnnd on
than bare wood. It Is well to keep
awny from chimneys nnd out of cel

dangerous. A person sheltered under
a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feet
from a lnrge and lofty tree is quite

When You Buy
SPOONS
buy the best if you want to practice real
economy; there is no article of silver
ware so expensive in the end as depart
mental, hardware, or "general store"
spoons.
We carry nothing but the Very best
Sterling Silver and Silver-plated ware;
stock such as is found only in a first
class jewelry store, and yet our prices
are low, quality considered. We are not
satisfied to make a big per cent on a.
single sale, but want the volume of busi
ness and advertising that comes from
selling good goods cheap.
