There are none In the whole category , which , If taken in time , cannot be cured. They must in some form alllict the nerves , the bones , the muscles and Joints of the human body. They are all more or ! * s hurtful and wasteful to the system , hst Jacobs Oil Is made to cure them. , to earch out hidden pain spots , and to cure promptly In a true remedial and testing way.

" Par l.ctn Q'tlelt and Olnervmit than the C'oitntrv ( htlilrrn. Principal Thomas W. Boycc of the First District school , la-of the belief that city children are the real "farm- srs , " In tin' n tiiU'i of observation. Tut jountry cousin luis long been scoffed at for Ids opeii-inonthed wonder at what to his city-bred playmates are obje.t * Df evcry-day knowledge , and nVn y have been the Jokes sprung at the ex pense of the country gawk upon his visits to the city , But now the tab es ire turned and the city boys and gUia niay well look out for their laurcln as world-wise youngsters. "We have been reading 'Snow Bound' In our eighth grade recently. " jnld Mr. IJoyce , "and It is a matter of surprise and wonderment to note hi w little the chlldicn know about faun llfo and nature. Some passages whliu jne would think every intelligent loy r girl Of 14 or 15 years of age ought to know leave a perfect blank In ti.e minds of'the city scholars. "Take , for instance , the passage , -T' o oxen hooked , and lashed their tails \ The scholars could not tmag'ne wh t i 'hooked' ' meant. They thought th t the word hook meant to snatch , to /steal , to grab , to swipe , but not one 'associate , ! the word with the to sliu 'of ' the horns of the impatient b'ules. The passage describing the well HWuep , 'llke Pisa's leaning miracle * was so much Greek to them. Although they understood the reference to the leaning I lower of Pisa , they'knew nothing of the ' old-fashioned well sweep. 'The sun-ci'1- iled day , portent of the storm'they hud never seen. They expostulated at be lieving such a thing. 'You cannot look Ht the sun. ' they said. 'It is too bright. It hurts your eyes. ' "Now , I venture to say that there 's not n boy In this State who ha1 * lived on a farm to whom the sun-circled d > Is not the portent of a storm. They have noticed it from their chlldho d days. The city children -were non plussed In reading of the gray bank * of clouds with the rising of the snu. The snn they see is over the housetop1' , through some d'ning ' room window. It Is an Interesting study for me to ob serve how little the city people arc taught to observe nature. That is where the country children have the advantage over their city cousins. " Milwaukee Sentinel. RICH MEN BUY LARGE ESTATES Country Sent * the Fashion of the Hour Aiiio'ii * Noted > ilHonnlrc" . The starting of n new great country estate is always a matter of Interest. The tendency In rich city men towards that sort of enlargement is of recent growth , and It Is natural that there should be examples of it In Increasing number near New York. 10. II. Ilarrl man , railroad giant the same enter prising man who carried n shipload of scientists to Alaska in 1809-has bought himself 20,000 acres of land in Orange and Uockland counties , New York , to the west and north of Tuxedo , and edging over toward Gosheii. Or ange county is still famous for Its but ter , and Mr. Ilarriman doubtless in tends to keep a cow. Ills further in tentions have not as yet transpired , except as shown by considerable Invest ments in roads. Much of the fmi in awning a farm two miles square lies loubtless in planning what to do with It. Mr. Carnegie , whose commodious dwelling oil upper nth avenue , is al ready the biggest house in town , is building himself another in Wostohes- ter County , near the St. Andrews gulf links , l + ut has not yet given evidence of an acute attack of land-hunger. Mr. Whitney has 1,000 acres on Long Isl and , nearly twice as many on October Mountain , nnd 11 big tract In the North Woods , and there are many other es tates of from f > 00 to . ' 5,000 acres on Long Island and near the Hudson. Dr. Webb has elbow room at Shelburne and leg room in the Adirondacks ; but the greatest and most Interesting of American country estates seems still to be Mr. Vanderbilt's Blltmore In North Carolina. There will be great sights In archi tecture , horticulture , agriculture , llori- culture and all the allied Industries hnd arts to be seen In tills country iifty years from now , If the steel butine s and railroad business continue to flour ish and government continues stable. Uarper's Weekly. The Waterriu'lon u Fruit. Some men have never tit-en willing to rlass the luscious "watermilllon" as a vegetable , and on this point the United States Government has been forced to come to the darkeys' point of view. The decision has been made by the general board of appraisers on a case arising at Nogales upon the right to import mel ons as vegetables. The board decided that "the melon Is known technically , popularly and commercially as a fruit , and therefore dutiable. " The same view is taken , technically , by the Depart ment of Agriculture , and we may now rest assured that the status of the wa termelon , muskmclon. cantaloupe and their whole kindred has been raised n few points'1 olllcinlly and permanently. Los Angeles Times. The Charge Not Sustained. "You say , " pursued the chairman of the Iu\estlgntlng committee , "that he resorted to no bribery whatever during the election , so far as you know ?

The iion-milon men whose refusal to leave the mine caused 'lie strike , joined the union , anil all the union men icturned to work.

Tlie Georgia Industrial Association is trying to foiestall legislative prohibi tion of child labor in the cotton mills by getting the manufacturers to agree not to employ children under 10 years of age , but the State will fall In its duty to humanity If It docs not make the minimum age 15 years. ' The International Ladies' Garment Workers recently held a convention In New York , and It was shown that cer tain garments that women purchase , in the belief that they were manufactured in and Imported from Paris , are really made in disease-lireediiig sweatshops In Xew York.

'The upper classes ad here closely to Spanish custom , so , bar ring certain foolish restrictions and too much "duenna , " the women are treated with the utmost respect and considera tion. Among the lower-class natives condi tions are more interesting. Long con tact ( with the Spaniard has removed whatever prejudice concerning women there might have been in the Malay breast for among his race in general she is looked upon as decidedly Inferior and now we are able to observe very amicable family arrangements In which the woman is the partner of her hus band and apparently regarded .MS of equal importance , though no particular deference is paid to her. In this marital partnership the wife Is often the active member , displaying great energy , especially In goading her indolent spouse to effort. Sometimes one of these little women supports the whole household. Generally speaking , she is the more ambition' ! of the two , and if she does not actually perform all the labor of support the fortunes of the family may be dependent on her wit and enterprise. It Is not at all uncommon for a Filipino pine wife to apply to an American ofll- cer in charge of n department for a job for her husband. I do not mean to im ply that the wife always takes the lead. but if she is callable of It , 'she is not held down by thongs of custom and prejudice. She is an industrious , clean ly little body , and she and her husband show a devotion to their children which Is one of the most lovable traits of the Filipino character. Alnsiec's Magazine.

Many criminals for In stance , appear as eool as encumbers , although they arc Inwardly much prcturbed ; but to an attentive ob server "the state of their minds is made clear by the parched mouth. You may take ft for granted that a person who Is a prey to deep anxiety will show signs of dilllculty in speak ing ; that is because his mouth and throat arc dried ; and you will sqc that he rolls his tongue about in order to moisten it.
