EVERY RHEUMATIC INVITED TODAY.

To Test and Try a 75c Bottle of Urtc-0 at Our Expense.

If there are still any sufferers from Rheumatism in this county or wherever this paper reaches, that have not yet tried the wonderful Rheumatic Remedy we want them to try it now at our expense. We firmly believe that there is not* a case of Rheumatism in the world that will not yield to the wonderful effects of Uric-O, and we want to prove it to every doubter beyond all possibility. The best way to do this is to give a large trial bottle of this remedy outright to every sufferer and let him test and try it to his own satisfaction. If you or any of your family suffer from Rheumatism, no matter whafT form, just cut this hotice out of the paper and send it together with your name and address, also the name of your druggist, to the Smith Drug Co., 419 Smith Bldg., Syracuse, N. Y., and they will send you by return mail an order on your druggist for a 75c bottle free. There is no reservation to this offer. You take the remedy home and use it according to directions until thoroughly satisfied of its merits. We could not afford to do this if we did not know that after you are freed from this dreaded disease that you will recommend it to all your' friends who have rheumatism. We know from experience that personal recommendations from one person to another is the most valuable advertising, and that is the way we intend to acquaint the world with Uric-Q, no matter where you live. It is sold by druggists all over this country, and we want you to have a bottle free. Uric-0 is sold and personally recommended in Rensselaer by A. F. Long.

THE COMPRADOR IN CHINA.

Tbroagh These Agents the Chinese American firms dealing in the Far East must acquaint themeselves with a number of 'unusual business methods, among them the comprador system, wL.eh has its highest development In China. Business houses deal with the Chinese through a Chinese agent known as the comprador. For years the system has developed, however, until now practically all the business of .foreigners with Chinese Is done through agents of this sort, whether it be in buying or selling, in loaning or in borrowing money. In many firms the comprador is a partner; In many instances he is in reality the owner of the business, furnishes the capital, manages it and uses the name of a foreigner to secure foreign protection from the many abuses which obtain in commercial circles. The real comprador is a cashier, handles all money received by a firm and makes all payments. In many foreign business bouses bills are paid by the representative of the business office in an order on the comprador of the firm, and this order is banked as a bank or check draft. Under the Chinese method a comprador who brought a dealer patronage would receive a percentage of the profits of all sales made to the comprador’s firm. Following out the same principle the comprador receives i. percentage of the wages paid all Chinese employes. Formerly this system of commission was carried on without the knowledge or at least without the connivance of the business firm, and in many cases it is in vogue at present. Gradually, however, things have so developed that this percentage system is recognized as a means of paying the comprador a portion of his salary. The comprador of a tea firm, for instance, will receive a certain commission, as wages, on each box of tea the firm buys. One firm pays 50 cents Mexican (about 23 cents gold) to its comprador for every chest of tea he buys for the firm in the tea season. Silk firms pay on the basis of a certain sum for each unit of silk bought. A higher price is therefore paid for the goods bought than the situation warrants, and all the subsequent transactions in that commodity are based upon a fictitious value for which the consumer in due time must pay. The comprador of a foreign bank, for example, has charge of loans to Chinese. Generally he Is responsible to the bank for such loans and, at all events, his approval is necessary for a Chinese to negotiate a loan, no matter what security may be offered. The result is that advantage is often taken of the distress of a Chinese borrower, and by reason of his being forced to secure money within a certain time upon a loan he is compelled by the comprador to pay so large a commission or so great a rate of Interest over and above that paid to the bank that the transaction is little better than ordinary highway robbery. No one but the comprador secures benefit from the system under such circumstances.

A dirty door handle is an obvious offence against sanitary principles. Constant contact with the hand meana contamination sooner or later. It is conceivable that a dirty door handle would convey disease, and there Is thus ample reason why door handles should be kept as clean as possible.—The Lancet.

The private kitchen of the Sultan of Turkey is a veritable fortress, consisting of a small chamber situated to the right of the great entrance, and Is guarded by bhrred windows and an armbr plated door.

When cooked, each dish Is fastened with red wax, bearing the official seal of the kelardJlhl, and remains hermetically closed until the seals are broken In the Bultan’s own presence.

THEORY OF CHILD CULTURE

Luther Burbank Says Train . Them as Fruits or Flowers ENVIRONMENT A FACTOR To Perfect the Human Race Begin with the Child—American of the Future to be Morally Beautiful and Intellectually Fit—A Work of Elimination.

America’s greatest naturalist expresses his views regarding childculture when he says: 1 The two forces to be considered in reproduction are heredity and environment. In child rearing environment is equally essential with heredity. Mind you, I do not say that heredity is of no consequence. It is a great factor and often makes environment almost useless. When the hereditary instincts are indelibly ingrained environment will have a hard battle to effect a change in the child, but that a change can be wrought by the surroundings we all know. The particular subject may be stubborn against the influences of environment, but repeated application to the same modifying forces in succeeding generations will accomplish the desired objects.

All animal life is sensitive to environment. You can change the oyster by gradually changing its environment, and you know the oyster is a very low type of life. Take an ox, a horse, a dog, a man, and that which often counts most in the development of each is environment. Of all animate things, the child is the most sensitive. Surroundings act upon it as the outside work acts upon the plate In the camera. Every possible influence acting exteriorly will leave its Impress on the child, and the traits which it Inherited will be overcome to a certain extent, In many caßeß almost being even more apparent than heredity. There is no doubt that if a child with a vicious temper be placed in an environment of peace and quiet the temper will change. Put a boy born of gentle white parents among Indians and he will grow up like an Indian. Let the child born of criminal parents have a setting of morality and decency, and the chances are that he will not grow into a criminal, but an upright man. I do not say that heredity will not sometimes assert Itself to some extent; of course. When the criminal Instinct crops out in an individual it might appear as if environment were levelled to the ground. But higher environment will become fixed. We in America form a nation with the bloods of half the peoples of the world within our veins. We are more crossed than any other nation in the history of the world. All the necessary crossing has been dope, and now comes the work of elimination, the

work of refining, until we get an ultimate product that will be the finest human race known. It is no doubt this country which will produce that specimen. Many years will be consumed before the finished, work Is attained, but It is sure to come. The characteristics of the many peoples that make up this nation will show in the composite 1 with many of the evil characteristics removed, and the finished product will be the race of the future. Sometimes I am appalled when 1 read of the increase of insanity, suicide, murder, the ills of the flesh. Statistics show many things to make us pause, but after all the proper point of view is that of the optimist. The time nriVnft whan lmmnltv win be reduced, suicides and murders will be fewer and man will become a being of few ills and bodily troubles. Wherever you have a nation in which there is no variation there is comparatively little insanity or crime or exalted morality or genius. Here in America, where the variation is greatest, the statistics show a greater percentage ofUnsanlty and all other variations. As time goes on in its endless and ceaseless course environment, will crystallize the American nation. Its varying elements will become unified, and the weeding out process will probably leave the finest human product ever known. The color, the perfume, the size, the shape that were manumitted in plants will have their analogies in the composite, the American of the future. In my work with plants and flowers I introduce color here, shape there, size or perfume, according to the products desired. In such processes the teachings of nature are followed. Its great forces only are employed. All that has been done for plants and flowers nature has already accomplished for {he American people. By the crossing of bloods strength has in one instance been secured, in another intellectuality, In still another moral force. Nature alone could do this. The work of man’s head and hand could not be summoned to prescribe for the development of a race.

HERO WORSHIP.

Schurz In His Autobiography Telia How Bherm'an Was Applauded.

When he» (Gen. Sherman) called himself a ‘‘happy man” there was a tone of jußt exultation in his wo/ds. He was, indeed, a happy map. He had won great renown as a soldier and an immense popularity all over the Northern country. This he knew, and he thoroughly relished it. AH sorts of societies and public organizations had made him their honorary member, and he appeared among them as often as he could. Whenever he entered a theatre, which ne did very often, the orchestra wouiu strike up ‘‘Marching through Georgia”; the whole audience would rise and clap their hands, sometimes even singing the tune, and his rugged face would fairly glow and beam with pleasureEvery social circle greeted him as a most welcome guest, and at receptions and evening parties and other gatherings the pretty girls would come up and kiss him —and how he did enjoy all this! Magazine.

Descendent of Confucius.

Here is a little sketch of Confucius' seventy-sixth lineal descendant, who lives in a Yaman of China: Duke K’ung received us in his official robes, and was most kind and affable. He is a tall, strongly made man of 35 years of age. The Duke speaks no English. His Highness does not often leave his home, and has only twice visited Peking. The large number of members of his establishment who crowded Into the hall to listen to the audience caused me to ask the Duke if he kept a large establishment, and he Informed that it consisted of fully 400 souls. His revenue is derived from the villages of the neighborhood for many miles around, one village as far away from Chufou as 400 li (140 miles) paying an annual sum. His Highness expressed friendly sentiments toward foreigners, whom he alleges he is always glad to receive when they visit Chu_ sou. He expressed the opinion that English was practically the official language of China.”

Provision for Self-Advertisement.

Authorities who have in charge some of England’s ancient treasures try to discourage the habit of carving initials on these relics. A fine of sl6 was recently Imposed on a man who had chipped his name In letters six inches high on one of the stones in the “Druids’ Circle” near Keswick. Close to the giant stone globe at Swanage a special slab is provided for the harmless reception of the names of all who are addicted to this self-advertisement On popular Alpine summits names are left on cards in emptied wine bottles.

Cures Sleeping Sickness.

ff Professor Koch, the great German medical authority, who has be n in Africa about 18 months, inquiring into the causes and cure of that strange and widely prevalent malady, the sleeping sickness, has become famous throughout a large portion of the Dark Continent. He has treated and cured hundreds of black men afflicted with the dread disease mentioned, and has, therefore, been given the title of “Great White Wizard.”

Emigration Benefits Sicily.

Emigration has benefited the worktug classes in Sicily. Labor is scarce now, and in some places where only 30 cents a day was formerly the wage rate 75 cents 111 uow frald. The emigrants leaving Palermo for the United States last year numbered 48,853.

Caine an Extensive Landowner.

Hall Caine is an extensive Manx landowner, possessing several large farms, having successfully relaimed tracts of bog land in the vicinity of >Sulby, which have been brought under profiitable cultivation.

"Birth-day Honors.”

Four peers, 11 baronets and 33 knights were created by the King of Great Britain on his last birthday. Nominally, the King did it; in reality, the Liberal ministry did it, the "birthday honors” being one of the perquisites of office.

Celebrating Her Mother’s Birthday.

A woman 71 years old, accused at Feltham, England, intoxication and disorderly conduct, said she had been "keeping up” her mother’s birthday. Her mother was 98.

‘‘Gentlemen,’' recently said a German professor, who was showing to his students the patients In the asylum. "this man suffers from delirium tremens. He Is s musician. It is well known that blowing a brass instrument affects the lungs and throat In such a way as to create s great thirst, which has to be allayed by persistent Indulgence In strong drink. Hence, in the course of time, the dls. ease you have before you.” Turning to tbs patient, the professor asked: “What Instrument do you blow?** and the answer was: “The violoncello.’’ —Cleveland Lead, er.
