As the result of over-exertion and exposure to heat and cold, or from whatever cause, may be treated success fully by the timely application of St. Jacobs Oil. A thorcugh rubbing is necessary. The Oil should be applied rigorously for at least twenty minutes, two or three times daily, when all pain, soreness, stiffness will be removed in twenty-four hours. It will also strengthen and harden the muscles. Football players, gymnasts and. all ath letes will find St. Jacobs Oil superior to any other remedy for outward applica tion, for the reason that its action is more rapid and its effect permanent Thousands of people all over the world use and recommend St. Jacobs Oil for muscular soreness. A twenty-five cent bottle is quite sufficient to prove its efficacy. In cases where muscular sore ness is complicated with any disease which requires an alterative Vogeler's Curative Compound should be taken. This prepared by the proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil, Baltimore, Md., who will send a sample free on application. - Luck? Wen Brown What a lucky fellow Robin son Is. Jones Lucky! I should say he was.

I haTe no doubt that the auffer- ina is Intense and the hearts of tha civ ilised tHonle are Justly touched by the atories of what they have to endure. But the condition of the Jews in Russia is worse thsn the worst of the suffering in South Africa, and yet from one end to the other of this big world not a voice in their behalf is raised er heard. Not speaks In behalf of 7.000.000 of Jews. This is a sad com mentary oa the boast of progress and civ ilisation. Bat I csn fully understand it 4hey are Jews. What matter if they suffer I What j concern is it of ours? They have no gun to back them; no armored ships to fight for them: they are only Jewa. They have suffered for eighteen centuries; let their suffering go on. This is a condition of affairs which calls to heaven for justice and not char ity. I agree with you Zionists that it these Jews feet they have no country they are justified In trying to establish one. What place can they call their own? They must do military service in Russia, and then the Cxar savs they are a source of danger to the country. They are forced to pay blood taxea. I can un derstand that the country of their fathers spells "hope;" Palestine means redemp tion; it makes their hearts feel lighter. I can understand why they cherish a plan which seems to mean freedom, justice, mauhood and liberty for their descend ants. I agree with yon that If it were possible to emigrate from cruel Russia and cursed Rouniania it would be advisa ble. From the pale of Russia to the sweat shops of America does not spell redemp tion to me. bat if their coming here wonld relieve their wretchedness, I say call them here. WORST SJGN Of THE TIMES. By Or. Tlmtty Bwtgkt. . I heard a prominent graduate ) of one of our universities say l that when he was a student If0 many years ago there was in 3T the student community almost a Jjk contempt for wealth. The I thoughts and ambitions of the college men at that period were in the line of higher things than wealth, and in their estimate of one another they re garded this as nothing. The whole life of the country has greatly changed since then. W e have become a wealthy na tion. We have passed from the simple life of a quiet town, aa it were, to the luxury and abundance of a freest city. The devotion of the people to money get ting has become so great as even to be alarming, and the one desire which seems to nnite all men together is the desire to make something in this matter of money out of nothing. There is surely no worse sign of the times in our day than this; but I believe that much of the old spirit still remains at least so far as our judgment of men goes. If the evil tendencies that are LAYING A CABLE. Material Required for the Construc tion of the New Pacific Line. For the manufacture of the proposed Pacific cable the largest in the" world an enormous amount of material will be required. It Is estimated that there will be needed 1,989 tons of copper wire, 1,200 tons of gutta percha, 2,300 tons of Jute yarn, 4,300 tons of compound and tar and 12,000 tons of steel wire. The laying of the cable will take four spe cially constructed ships and a staff of 1,000 electricians, cable engineers, etc. The rate of laying a cable, in the ab sence of unforeseen difficulties, is about seven nautical miles an hour, and In a couple of thousand fathoms of water the cable takes as long as three hours to sink to the bottom. When a cable Is paid out it runs over a wheel at the stern of the ship, having to pass on its way from the tank where It has been colled through a dynamometer, which tells the strain to which it Is being sub jected. As soon as all the cable on board a cable ship has been paid out the end is sealed carefully and attached to a rope, the other end of which is attached to a buoy and dropped into the sea. The vessel then returns to port for more cable, with which she steams off again to the scene of operations, picks up the buoyed end, carefully splices it to the end of the new section which she has brought out and goes on with the lay ing as before. To land a cable some interesting preparations are made. Sheaved wheels are anchored on shore and around them a line Is passed and carried back to the cable ship. To this line the end of the cable to be landed Is attached and float ed ashore, buoyed up on inflated rubber bags. The land end of a cable Is con siderably larger than the part which Is submerged. Once on shore It is drawn up the beach to Its proper inland posi tion and secured. The new Pacific cable will be 8,000 miles long. No other cable in the world la half as long. When the new cable is laid there will be sufficient length of submarine cables In the world to girdle the earth at the equator eight times and something to spare, or enough to reach two-thirds of the way to the moon. IMPORTED FROM THE ORIENT. "Chit," a Praiseworthy Institution, Enforce Honesty In Servant. What is a "chit?" This Is a word that has crept into the English language of recent years, and, although fairly common In England, its use in this country dates from the Philippine cam paign, the war with China, and the still more recent immigration of Japan ese into the United States. Its use is common in Chinese and Japanese ho tels aud restaurants, while the origin and meaning of the word are as follows: mm manifesting themselves so strongly among our people are to be checked and the glory of the old ancestry la to be preserved, the result must be accomplish ed through the influence of educated men. Those who go forth from the universities and college must show by their living, by the estimate of things which they manifestly form, by the energy they dis play In the pursuit of the higher and no bler objecta of desire, by their exaltation of learning and mental culture aud the power to do good service to the world aud of honorable character above all external things, and. it we may use the atrong expression, by a contempt for wealth, what the true life for the nation is. r00T-8iDIG AMONG THE CHINESE. Br W Ting Fang. ine uninese are abandoniug foot binding. It la a fashion that la go ing out like walat binding among the Caucasians. At tempts bare been made to uproot it from time to time, just as your doctors have preached WU TINQ TAKO. against waist lacing, which la a greater menace to the human race than foot bind ing. It shocks a Chinese woman just as much to see a laced waist as it does a Caucasian to look at a bound foot The Emperor Shun Chlh. who reigned from 1044 to 1CC2, issued an edict against this fashion, positively prohibiting it, but it had been a practice of Chinese wonum since the year of your calendar, 970, un der the last Emperor of the Sung dynas ty. This Emperor had a beautiful wife, who delighted to please him by dancing. To make her feet look more beautiful, she used to bind them with strips of satin until they resembled a crescent moon or a bent bow. Thus the fashion began. During more than a thousand years it became general, and what was Intended first for beauty became a deformity. The methods of binding in vogue In China and the period of commencing the practice vary, but the bandages are ap plied at from B to 8 years of age. The general process consists of two stages. A piece of strong cotton cloth, about two yards long and three inches wide, is first bound around the foot, leaving the great toe free, and doubling the others uuder the sole so that the toes of the right foot peep out under the left or inner side of the foot, and the same method is reversed for the left. This reduces the width. Each succeeding day the bandage is tightened both morning and night. For many months after the binding Is com menced the little girl is compelled to run up and down on her aching feet to pre vent mortification of the flesh and ten dons setting in. This process of binding continues for one year. The next stage is the shorten ing of the length. The bangages tie then so arranged as to draw the fleshy part of the foot and the heel close to gether. When accomplished a dtn-p groove between the fleshy part of the foot and the heel, somewhat the shape of the clinched hand with the ball of the thumb pressing against the fingers. The process is not considered complete The dishonesty of native servants Is proverbial among the English and American residents In India, the Phil ippines, China and Japan. Consequent ly, If one is living in any one of these countries, and a friend were to send a basket of fruit by his native servant, or a shopkeeper 6ent one of his em ployes to deliver some articles that you had purchased, the servant or employe after delivering whatever he had brought would hand the recipient a small slip of paper upon which appears In the handwriting of the sender the number and description of the articles sent with a polite request that. In case you fonnd the articles as stated, you sign the slip of paper and deliver it back to the servant This form of re ceipt Is a "chit." The sender also asks In the "chit" that In case the articles are not deliver ed aa described you will state the same, and hand the "cblt" back to the ser vant to deliver to his master or mis tress. The "chit" Is to enforce honesty on the part of the servant, and to pre vent blm from stealing all or a part of the articles Intrusted to his care. If the sender should neglect to send a "chit" along with the articles that he has sent the chances are about one to a million against yon ever receiving them. An oversight of this sort on the part of the sender would appear In the nature of a windfall to the average East Indian servant, who -would re gard the articles placed in his hands for safe conduct and delivery as his legiti mate prey. Such was the original meaning and application of the word "chit," a cor ruption of a Hindostanee word which has the same meaning as "receipt" In our own tongue, but, as In all similar cases, the term "chit" has been broad ened in its application so that to-day it has other meanings. In addition to the foregoing a "chit" is also a sort of prom issory note to meet small obligations. A man takes a drink at the bar, and not having the money to pay for it he gave the bartender a "chit" A man borrows a dollar from a friend and gives him a "chit" Thus a "chit" Is in the nature of a bond that enforces honesty wher ever it Is in use. It Is really a praise worthy Institution, as every person who has lived in the Orient will admit. IMPRESSING SEAMEN. The Old Women' Sewing Circle Was Abruptly Broken Up. One of the causes of the War of 1812 was the Impressment of Americans to serve on British ships. - The practice was so extensive that when an English ship came to an American port able bodied men hid in disguise for fear of being seized. John Bull at that time claimed the services of every British sailor, whetb er the man had ever voluntarily en tered the navy or not; and if the sailor could speak English he was assumed until a Chlues tact, a coin about the sits of a silver dollar, can be hidden In this groove. The first two year of this pro cess are terrible. In China fashions do not change ao readily as among the Americans, but t am told that the reaction against toot binding la general, and that a large per centage of the girl whose feet would have been bound during the last two years are growing up naturally and able to romp and play like other little girls. One of the great evils of unbinding tha feet Is that after the deformity of the foot la attained the nu fortunate must suffer great pain If the bandages are re moved. It has, however, in many In stances been done slowly and the women can now walk, and say they suffer no pain. GREATEST NEED OF NATIONS. By tor! Kosery. The greatest need ef ths nations of the earth Is trained men and women. The nation that has the bright est minds in tha various lines In which It is brought Into competition with the world will i" tuo maintain It place In the strng- LOBD boskbert. for national au premacy. It Is the duty of the nation to cultivate independent thought, keen polit ical trainiug and a divine discontent. The nation that doe this with the greatest succesa will be the nation that Is strong est, for if the nation la politically and commercially trained, eager to better it self, it cannot fall to maintain Its place. The nationa need to rear a race of men and women alive to the demands of the and of their country, and able to i cope with the needa of their country and their time. It the education falls In this. It is futile, and the nation must Inevita bly decline. What race Is best fitted to receive this trainiug? I unhesitatingly answer, the Anglo-Saxon. The Anglo-Saxon stock Is capable of anything, whether it be the Anglo-Saxon of America or of Europe. I cannot help believing It to be the noblest, except, perhaps, the Roman at his beet, and capable of indefinite possibilities be yond the conception even of the Roman with training, intelligence and determina tion. It Is the Anglo-Saxon that Is des tined to domiuate the earth. LIFE OF EASE NOT A HAPPY ONE. By Kuxtttl Sage. Every man has a right to live bis own life and when be has money to apend It as he sees fit. Having in mind the recent re tirement of Mr. William C. Whitney. I cannot see how a man of talent who has led an active life and been a factor In great and diversified business undertakings can sud denly sever all business connections and really enjoy himself as much as he had hitherto. Such a man's mind must con tinue active, and after bis experience I should think It would be difficult for him not to wish to keep in touch with the changes and the march of business events. It is hard to overcome habit, and in success in business lie a very keen pleasure. A successful man usually strives for new and greater successes, and as these come his enjoyment increases. I am un able to think of a life of all ease as a happy life. It is a great satisfaction to make a thing grow and watch its growth. Every man to his liking. Mine is to sit at my desk and keep close to what la go ing on In the changing world of finance and trade. to be an Englishman and forced to serve. No doubt many of those who were Impressed were really British de serters; but many others were Ameri can citizens, and the compulsion to serve on British ships was a wrong. The diary of Captain Hoffman of the Itoyal Navy, which tins been published under the title of "A Sailor of King George." contains a story of masquer ade which must hare been amusing from a British point of view. Hoffman had Iwen sent to a bouse In Jamaica where able-bodied seamen were reported to be In hiding. When the party entered the house they found three slovenly females sitting by ; a table darning stockings. Near by was a cradle covered with a net. In j the bed, also covered with a net, was ! a woman lying III. Still another wom an was near the bed, persuading the invalid to take the contents of a bot tle of red mixture. The lieutenant assured them that he entered with reluctance upon the duty he had to perform, but as he bad in formation that seamen frequently the house, he must search It A coxswain who had been examin ing the features of one of the women at the table, exclaimed: "If I ever saw my old shipmate, Jack Mltford, that's he!" . Another British sailor whispered that the baby iu th cradle was the largest he had ever seen, Thereupon the door was locked and the otHcers insisted on knowing who the women were. Hoff man discovered upon the sick woman a close-Hhaved chin. The dying person was a fine young seaman about twenty-six years old, who, when he was de tected, sprang out of bed, aud Joining the others, attempted to resist Then, seeing that they were outnumbered, they surrendered. The infant in the cradle proved to be a fine lad sixteen years old. "This was a good haul eight sea men," remarked Hoffman. "We got them without accident to the boats." Kacroachlng on the Sea. The growth seaward of Dungencss Point, in England, caused by the east ward drift of shingle, has caused the erection of a new lighthouse there to become necessary, and the contract has been placed wltb a Deal firm to carry out the work for 130,000. This will be the third lighthouse erected upon Dungenen Point The first, built about sixty years ago, Is now a mile Inland, and the llgathouse which superseded that one Is now about half a mile from the seashore.

Find a ma ture tree that stands apart from Its fol lows. Even It It la only allglitly separ ated It will do. The bark of this tree will bo harder, drier and lighter In color on the south aide. On the north It will be darker, and orten at the roots It will have a clump of mold or moss. Ou the south sides of all evergreeu trees, gum, which ooxca from wounds or knot holes, will be bard and amber-colored; ou ths north this gum I softer, gels cov. ered with durt. and la or a dirty gray. In fall or winter, tree which show rough bark will have nests of Insecta.ln the crevices ou their aouth aides.

You have many evcrgreeua in your part of the country, cone-bear lng, or coniferous, trees-lira, spruce, cedars, hemlocks, pine. They ought to bo good compasses. Hardwood trees the oak, the ash. elma. hickories, mea quits, aud ao forth, have moss aud mold on the north. Leave are smaller, tough er, lighter In color, and with diirker reins on the south; on the north they are longer, of darker green, and with light er veins. Spiders build ou the south aides. In the South air plants attach themselves to the north sides. Cedar bend their tlpa to the aouth. Any sawed or cut stump will give you the compass points, because the concentric rings are thicker on the aouth side. The heart of the stump Is thus nearer to the north aide. All these things are the effects of sun. Stones are bare on the south aide, and If they have moss at all, It will be on the north. At Ix-st. on the auuny aide ouly a thin covering of harsh, half dry moaa will be found. On the aouth aide of a hill the ground Is more noisy underfoot On the north aide ferns, moasea and late flowers grow. If you are on a marsh, small bushes will give you the leaaon; their leaves and limbs show the same differences. Almost all wild flowers turn tbelr faces to the south. There are many other signs, but I reckon you will find these enough." St. Nicholas. I'nblddea (Jurat. Many Insects migrate from one quar ter of the globe to another by means of the vessels which ply between distant ports. Iudeed, the spread of nearly all kinds of living creatures has been de pendent upon the ships of civilized na tions. Winged pets and blessings have been steadily carried to new countries by this means, and the Invasion of our land by Insects, bugs, and crawling things in recent years has caused not a little talk of legislation against the admission of tropical fruits and seed until they have been cxamlued and quarantined. Not long ago a ship from one of the tropical countries was fol lowed by a flock of butterflies, which persistently circled around the rigging of the vessel until the shores had faded In the distance. Then the Insects alight ed on the masts and dock. A few dis appeared In the night and were destroy ed In the water or reached shore In safety. Some of the others crawled away In the cabins and hold of th ship. After a trip of thirty days the vessel reached New Tork, and from their biding place In the ship a few of these butterflies emerged and flew ashore. Thus an entire new species of butterflies was Introduced Into this country. This authentic Instance of the migration of butterflies Is but a slngli Illustration of how sometimes ships bring Into the harbor desirable and un desirable Immigrants whose names are never entered ou the books of the com pany. She Had Improved. The Princess Charlotte, daughter of Oeorge IV'.. was a younjr woman of great spirit and originality. One day one of her teachers etianced to enter the room when the princess was revil ing one of her attendant ladies In great wrath, and, after giving her a lectute on hasty speech, he presented her with a book on the subject A few days later be found her still more furious and using language even more violent. "I am sorry to find your royal high ness in such a passion," said he: "Your royal highness has not read the book I gave you." "I did, my lord." cried she tempestu ously. "I both read it and profited by it Otherwise I should have scratched her eyes out!" Both Come In Bottles. The father was testing his little boy's knowledge of the story of Noah, which he had carefully rehearsed. The boy had been thinking hard, says the New Tork Times, and his answer to the first question showed that he had at least the virtue of originality. "Now," said papa, "can you tell me bow Noah knew that the waters had gone down?" The boy hesitated a minute, as if seeking for proper words to express himself; then be said: "Noah knew the waters had gone down because the dove came back bringing him a pickle." Olives aud pickles were synonymous terms in the small boy's mind for things which come In bottles, and which he did not like.
