GOVERNOR OF OREGON Uses PwnaeJs. in His Family For Colds .JH and Grip. CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON. A Letter From the Executive Office of Oregon. ( Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratula tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every state in the union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun dreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. IIlo outdoor laborer, the indoor Arti san, the clerk, the editor, the states man, the preacher--all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The etage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are j especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal ; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

In a recent let ter to Dr. Hartman he says: State of Oregon, Executive Department, Salem, May 9, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sirs I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my fam ily for colds, and it proved to be an ex cellent remedy. I have not had occa sion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will bo no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman' s free book, en titled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

STRANGE SERPENT SLAIN IN EVERGLADES. "DRAGON OF TUB EVERGLADES." rr? N enormous reptile, more like & hns htpn killpil Iiv a huntrr in has not only been a tradition among the Seminole Indiana, who live in the Florida everglades, that an' immense serpent made its home in that region, and they affirm that two Indians had been carried off by the monster. Recently Buster Ferret, one of the boldest and most noted hunters at Okoi-ho-bee, who for twenty years has made the border of the lake nnd the everglades his home', on one of his periodical expeditions into one of these lonesome wilds noted what he supposed to be the pathway of an immense alligator. For sev eral days he visited the locality for the purpose of killing the saurian, but was unsuccessful in finding him. Finally be decided to take a stand in a large cypress tree and await the coming of the alligator,- taking provisions to last him several days. For two days he stood on watch, with his rifle"Teady, but without the desired success. lie was becoming discouraged, but determined to give one more day to the effort. On the third day, before he had been ou his perch nu hour, he was almost paralyzed by what looked to him like an immense serpent gilding along the supposed alligator track. He estimated it to be anywhere from twenty to thirty feet long and fully ten to twelve inches in diameter where the head joined the body aud as large around as a barrel ten feet farther back. The snrke stopped within easy reach of his gun and raised its bead to take a precautionary view of its surroundings. As it did Ferrel opened fire on it, shooting at its bead. Taken by surprise, the serpent dashed Into the marsh at railroad speed, while Ferrel kept up fire on it until be had emptied the magazine of his rifle, b'ut failed to stop it. About four days afterward be ventured bock into the neighborhood to see how things were, and about a mile from where he first saw the snake he saw a large flock of buzzards and went to see what they were after, and there he found the creature dead and its body so badly torn by the buzzards that it was impossible to save the skin. He however, secured its head and has it now in his home on uie Kiualmuice river. It is truly a fr!;bt'n looking object, fully ten inches from jaw to jay, wi.th ugly, razorlike teeth. AMERICAN SCHOOLS EXCEL. Chicago Professor Givea Particulars o Deficiency in European Schools. TlieAmericun schoolboy is two Inchet taller than the average European schoolboy of a like age, writes Frof. Watt, of Chicago. I am positive of this declaration after a tour of inspection of the various schools of Europe, and I place the usefulness of the instruction imparted, from an educational and a hygienic point of view, as follows: First, the United States; second, Eng land; third, Germany, closely followed by France and Russia. There is a grtat difference In the school systems, but In two ways Is this more noticeable, viz., inspection of school work and its results. The system of Inspection abroad has been develop ed to such an extent that it is more of a science than an ordinary routine, as u this country. The inspector spends at least a day a month In each room, making copious notes of both teachers' and pupils' work, criticising in open class the deficient studies and com mending those that are satisfactory. I am willing to concede that it Is pos sible to be more definite abroad than at borne, owing to more specific alms in AMKBICA. ENGLAND. the minds of both tbe educators and text-book writers. Text-books are rare ly changed abroad, and a student is taught rather to grasp and retain de tailed information than look for It In himself. Blinders, as it were, are placed on his eyes, so that be Is unable to look sldewlse. Certainly these schools are more advanced In theory than ours, bus we surely excel tbem from a practi cal side. We aim to Impart a theoreti cal and practical education combined, and more nearly to procure tbe acme of usefulness In after years. Then, too, the natural tendency of the American youth to apply knowledge as soon as acquired Is a superiority that greatly aids tbe teacher to attain results. Prob ably, and most likely, tbe lack of the foreign student of this essential is on account of the system of supervision and restriction that obtain abroad. It Is almost a crime for a junior clerk to sug gest an Improvement to tbe manager of a corporation and likewise it Is con sidered very bad for a student to ad vance any Ideas in class. Any one of tbe foreign schools la bet ter equipped, more expensive to main tain and better fitted to exert au Influ ence In the student body than ours, but tbe medieval practice of restrictions places tbem beyond the pale of our wtrk. . Omitting the English schools, any quo of the others has a distinct ad vantage over our schools from the fact that rca-Ung and spelling are mastered in three veers, because words are spelled as trjoken. Many of our pupils are unable to read English after ten years' steady a,pncatlon. Arithmetic Is much easier abroad, because the tables are founded on the leclmal system, like FROM A SKETCH BY AN INDIAN. the mythienl drngon thnn a land serpent, the Innw Rrnri-lntn Vnr inn vanr it our money, and require very little mem orizing. It Is conceded that a boy com ing out of the preparatory school on the continent Is about two years ahead of our boy of the same age who is grad uating from our high, school. While this is true, our boy has done at least three years more work in mastering the reading, spelling and grammar of our dlfllcult language with Its barbarous spelling aud numerous irregularities of grammar. Then, too, our high schools take In all clasess of boys who can afford to re mnin in school, because we are an edu cated people, while In Europe no com mon boys attend the secondary schools. Only those who are In training for pro fessional careers and who are supposed to be specially well endowed mentally enter those schools at all.' Again, the matter of fitting a pupil so that be Is able to step Into an office as soon as he is out of the high school Is not consider ed abroad as it Is here. Little or no at tention is devoted to what we call com mercial training, such as shorthand, typewriting and commercial law, This Instruction is only obtained by a Euro pean student In a college course. The same openness of mind so notlce- GERMANY. rRAXCIT. able In the American youth Is totally lacking in tbe foreign student, and he Is held to tbe facts In bis books until be has no breadth of runge. He spends much less time In the open air nnd takes less exhilarating exercise than our boys. Add to this the scientific ven tilation of our classrooms, the dash of our methods, shorter hours of Instruc tion, more cheerful methods, periods of relaxation more frequent, and It Is no wonder our boys grow two inches taller than the foreign boys when taken age for age. The American does not work a colt before be has grown, and it Is on this Idea that our educators refrain from putting our students to tbe severest mental test. We do not ask bow much can possibly be accomplished by a child, but how much is best for him. The fullest answer to tbe whole ques tion is to compare the ages of the aver age college graduate. In this country It averages about 22 years, while abroad It Is about 28 years, aud from that we see that our pupils progress slowly In an educational line at first, but after the faculties are thoroughly developed a very rapid advance is mado, and we aim as nearly as possible to devolep the mental and physical natures of the stu dent at the same time. The success of this plan, I think, is evident from the numbor of young men at tbe bead of the many large industrial establish ments successfully competing with tbe product of tbe world lu every line. The old snylng that all tbe world loves a lover should be revised to read that all the world loves to make fan of a lover. llllNUYEAR INCRED1CLE AMOUNT OF MONEY LOST BY THE WORKING CLASSES. An Interview With George V. Hammond, of Thcoiiih, Wash., Mau Who Talks from Experience. The money lost annually by skilled workmen of nil occupations figures up to millions of dollars and is becoming greater every year. This amount oi money represents mainly time lost and the serious effect upon the social com fort of the workingnien and their fam ilies is evident. Mr. George V. Ham mond, of Tacoma, Wash., Baid the other day: "I have lost my share of time but I am thankful to eav that I have not been losing any of late." "You don't look as if you had lost much through sickness." "No, nnd I don't feel so. . But the fact remains that I was a very Hick man. I took cold along in 1889 and rheumatism settled in my arms and shoulders. I suffered for three years and nothing relieved me untill in April, 1892, upon the recommendation, of my sister, I began the use of. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and found relief in the second box. I took five boxes in all and now am entirely cured and have had no occasion to use them since." Mr. Hammond resides at No. 610 N. Steele street, Tacoma, Wash., and at the request of the reporter made ath davit to his above statement before James H. Dege, a notary public, on July 5, 1901. There is a popular idea that rheuma tism is caused by exposure to cold and that some localities are infected with it more than others. Such conditions frequently promote the development of the disease, but, from the fact that rheumatism runs in certain families, it is shown to be hcriditary nnd, con sequently a disease of the blood. Frequently an individual, in whose family rheumatism has not occurred, develops the disease, nnd when a diag nosis of tho case is made, it is general iy found that the ailment is due to a. derangement of the blood. External applications may afford tem porary relief, but to euro the disease it is necessary to treat it through the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to the seat of the dis order, pruifying and enriching the blood by eliminating poisonous ele ments and renewing health giving forces. They are a positive spocifia not only for rheumatism, but for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neu- ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache the after effects of grip or fevers, and of other acute diseases, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness, either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes, two dollars and fifty cents, by nddresisng Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Be sure to get the genuine; substitutes never cured any body. And They Marveled. s "And what are you making?" we asked of the Intelligent Arisnn, as we admirdd the play of his brawny mus cles.

How ard when the famous general won hot hand. She is an exceedingly popular woman. Earl Cadogan't Immense Estate. Borne idea of Earl Cadogan's wealth may be gathered from tho fact that some 13 or 14 years ago he expended a quarter million pounds on the purchase of the Culford estate, in Suffolk, and the rebuilding of tho hones. Shortly after this he presented an extensive site in Chelsea, known as Blocklands, to the Guinness trust, for the erection of workmen's dwellings. It is probable that during the next few years Lis wealth will be doubled. Wind Up of Mourning Period. The year's court mourning for the late Queen Victoria will come to an end on January 22.

On the opening day of the season tho king will be accom panied by the queen and by all the , members of the royal family who may be then in England. Hsi Voltd Many Yean.
