•"«fc It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dyspepsia, or, as it is also known, indigestion. The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds himself a victim of this disorder. Among greatest sufferers from it are Dyspepsia Is indicated by a constant fueling of laziness, by loss of appetite and troubled sleep; by sour stomach and distress after eating, by bad complexion and litnetless eyes. '.There is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark, of Buffalo, la., of dyspepsia and sour stomach that he had had for forty years, or until the lucky day that he heard of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It cured Joel Adams, of Montgomery, Ala., after suffering continuously for sixteen months. These are only a few of the many. But It is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy, as it can be bought at any drug store in a 50-cent or $1 bottle. Tour very neighbors are probably lifelong users of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, but if you want to know without expense what it will do for you personally, send your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will be Jllad to send you a free trial bottle. He s actually anxious to have you make a test of his remedy. . Thousands of families everywhere keep It in the house against such an emergency as constipation, sour stomach, Indigestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heartburn, torpid liver, etc., which may come on a member of the family any day. It is pleasant to the taste, acts gently and does not gripe.

Where Everybody Speaks.

A St. Petersburg correspondent writes: “But, alter all; the thing which sets the strike in moftgt4* hpwobr Russia. perhapp more than in other countries, w'e see, the sparer of the creative word. A strain of peculiar idealism runs through all Russian literature, and has led us always to hope that when jluseja’a how came she would advance on finer and higher lines than the more material and practical .people of Europt. The hour has come and, as far as one pan judge from language, the hopes may be justified. After her centuries of suppression Russia is reveling in a spiritual debauch of words. Meetings are held almost every night- Entrance is by ticket, but still the crowds fight at the door to hear first principles. Without any practice or tradition in speaking, it is suddenly discovered that Russia is a nation of orators. “I was present at an enormous meeting to protest against the atrocious persecution of the Jews by the police and the reactionary ‘black bands.’ That huge empty shed called ‘The Town oi Salt’ was crammed with an intensely excited audience, only few of whom were Jews. Speaker after speaker rose and not one failed for a moment. In some cases, even withput understanding a quarter of what was said, one could tell how true an orator the man was from the breathlessness of the hearers, from that feeling of diffused unity in the crowd, and from the deep gasp of applause which greeted the end. “It is the same in the workmen’s meetings of the strikes committee, at which I was again present one night. One common workman after another got up and made his point without muddle or shyness or hesitating—no harking back and beating for words. And all the speeches are on that high level of thought. ‘What do I know,' said a workman quietly to me—‘what do I know hut the street, the factory and the prison? But I will die in .prison for the movement 1 No wonder he spoke well.”

Coolle Labor on the Rand.

There are 45,000 Chinese coolies employed in the gold mines of the Rand, in South Africa. For more than a year and a hall a fleet of steamships has been engaged in carrying these laborers from various Chinese pons to Durbin, where they are tagged and shipped in guarded trains to Johannesburg. There they live in stockaded camps, under a kind of imprisonment, which provokes occasional rio.s and other troubles. However, Lord Selborne, British high commissioner for South Africa, in a recently published government blue book, describes the coolies as happy and amicable toward the rest of mankind. “There have been riots, thefts and murders.” he says, “but, considered in proportion to the number of Chinese import ed, I doubt whether a less amount oi crime could have arisen from an aggregation together of $45,000. men o: any other nationalßy- under the sun. The liberal newspapers of England tell a very different story. They represent that a reign of terror has been produced by the criminal acta of escaped cooues who roam the countrv In large numbers. They also insist that the importation of Chinamen is an ou - rage against free white labor.

On this point Lord Selborne says that the labor in the mines now performed by coolies would not be performed by whites, Kaffirs, being necessary for the work if ooolies are not to be had. For every 10,000 colies employed he thinks about 1,000 white men are supplied with labor such as they will consent to do the work of the white men being dependant upon the work of the coolies. Sir Henry CampbellBannerman in his address last Thursday evening In London announced tbit the new liberal government would suspend the importation of coolies until a Transvaal parliament should decied whether or not more importations of this sort are desirable. Lord Selborne reports that it ccsts about $55 to import each coolie to the Transvall and that it w II cost about S3O to send each of them home again to China on the expiration of their threeyear contracts. That coolie labor is highly valued and that the miners of the Rand want many more Chinamen to work for: them is proved by the hiavy drop in mining shares that fbllowed the speech of the British premier. The organ of t v e mine owners, South Africa, asks in Ls Issue of Dec. 9: “What would be t’)« Immediate effect of any hostile intervention on the pari of the new ministers?” It answers its own question thus: “The minlug Industry wor’d be absolutely dislocated and practically ruined.”

Peculiar Funeral Customs.

Swiss funeral customs are most peculiar. At the de*th of a person the family inserts a black-edged announcement in the papers asking for sympathy, and stating that “the mourning urn” Will be exhibited within certain hours on a special day. In front of the house where f’e person died there is placed a little ulack table, covered with a black cloth, on which Btands a black jar. Into this the friends and acquaintances of the family drop small black-msrglned v'slting cards, sometimes with a few words of sympathy on them. The urn is put on the table on the day of f'he funeral. Only men go over to ths'churchyard, and they generally follow the hearse on foot.

The Groom's Smack.

“Ob, yes, George always comes borne at the lunoh hour,” said the young bride to some of her girl friends. “Doesn't have time to eat mnsah, I suppose?” said one of the glrla. “Oh. no, he only takes a smack and runs," said the Innocent bride. they all Laughed.—Yonkani

WHERE A BOY CAN GET A CHANCE

Workshops Open Again on Sept. 1 at Winona Technical Institute, Indianapolis, For Training Boys.

When Winona Technical Instltntet at Indianapolis, "the school that gives the boy a chance,” opens Its new year on Sept. 1 it will have seven departments In operation, with the eighth well on the way. Boys who have been taking instruction In practical trades which require two or three years will be back in the Winona workshops and it is expected that a much larger number of new hoys than usual will help .to send the total enrollment over the highest point the Institute has known since it began In 1905. During the sumiher the workshops undergo a general overhauling. Machinery is set to rights, material with which the boys work is replenished, and through the coming winter these shops, each one a factory In itself, will hum with Industry. The Institute’s official "family” has been organized for the year with these officers: President, S. 0. Dickey, who Is also general manager of Winona Assembly and schools; president of the board of trustees, Hugh H. Hanna, president of the Atlas Engine Works, Indianapolis; vice-presidents, H. J. Heinz, Pittsburg capitalist; Alexander McDonald, vicepresideqt of the Standard oil company of Kentucky; John M. Studebaker, of Studebaker Brothers, South Bend;

treasurer, W. J. Richards, of the Union National Bank, Indianapolis; general director, W. C. Smith; dean, John H. Gertler. The executive committee is: H. H. Hanna, Chairman; John H. Holliday, president of the Union Trust ..Company, vice-chairman; W. J. Richards,' secretary; H. C. Atkins, of the Atkins Saw Works; A. A. Barnes, president of the Udell Works; S. C. Dickey; M. L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian church; W. H. Hubbard. realestate and Insurance; T. C. Day of the T. C. Day ft Company, realestate; Arthur Jordan, president Meridian Life Insurance Company; J. L. Ketcham, of the Brown & Ketchain Iron works. The oldest and one of the most successful of the Institute’s departments is the school of Pharmacy. Although only entering its sixth year, it is the largest school of its kind in Indiana in point of students enrolled, and it Is the seventh largest In the United States. The present laws In Indiana has made It necessary for pharmacists and chemists to become educated before they, can practice their calling. They must be able as a dispense); of medicines to meet a practicing physician on his own grounds, and under the law an apprenticeship Is a drugstore as a washer of bottles and a dispenser of soda water will not qualify a young man to do pharmacutical and chemical work for the public. The laws are so rigidly enforced that a druggist is no longer permitted to be the teacher of his clerk, and this alone has made It necessary for young men to turn to schools of pharmacy. The Winona School prepares a young man for work along scientific lines In pharmacies. sugar refineries, foundaries, tanneries, steel mills, packing houses, and for many lines of business In which a few years ago chemists were unheard of.

The Winona School of Lithography, the oalv one in North America, which draws Its students from foreign countries as well as from over the United States, has graduated a number of young men who have since become foremen and superintendents of commercial plants. Its methods of Instruction have succeeded the old way of teaching apprentices In shops. The School has a very extensive equipment given over entirely to the uae of the students, and the instruction carries the young men through every detail of the trade, not only how to perform the work, but why certain effects are The chemistry of lithography. something never learned by the old lithographer In hla appreatlcship dayß, has a consplclous place in the school’s instruction. The preparation of stones, drawing, engraving, transferring, presswork, all necessary steps In lithography, are a part of the schooling.

The Institute’s School of Printing graduated 83 students last year, a number of them young women who learned machine type-setting. The school gives a student a thorough training all along the line of printing, or a student who haa this general knowledge is developed Into a specialist as a compositor, pressman, or some after Use. The School of Printing has since It was founded kept a waiting list of young men and women who

desired to learn the operations of a linotype, not only how to set type by machinery, hut also how to repair and take care of this intricate machine. It Is difficult to find enough good operators to run the machines In the commercial printing plants, as the owners of the machines are too intent in getting finished products from them to give them over to those who desire to learn how to operate them. It Is this limited opportunity in the commercial plants that has caused young men and women to turn to the Winona School In large numbers for the instruction. The School of Tile and Mantel Setting teaches a boy in six months what required four years under the old apprenticeship method. It carries a student through all lines of tile work, from the history and manufacture of tile to the most Intricate forms and patterns of construction. Shop lectures, mechanical drawing, estimating on contract work are dwelt upon. The boys from this school have never had any difficulty in finding employment with the largest tile-making concerns, and several of them have become contractors on their own account

The School of Bricklaying is to be largely expanded to include all of the Important building trades, including

carpentry, plumbing, painting, and others. The school will train young men that they may follow any one of these trades, or, where they desire, will give them Instruction In all that they may become contractors cm* building superintendents. Not only will they do practical work In the school, but will earn their way In large part by work done on homes and buildings in Indianapolis. Much preparation has been made for opening the School for Machinists, the equipment given by members of the National Metal Trades Association making a very large and complete workshop. It will give instruction In machine, floor and vise work, In dt« and tool making. An arrangement has been made under which the work of the students will be done for commercial concerns, and the boys will earn enough almost to pay their own way. The School for Iron Moulders, established by the National Founders’ Association to make up the shortage of 25 to 50 per cent in skilled workmen in the foundries of the country, has been highly successful. The school plant Is a big foundry In ltaelf, where the boys not only learn the trade, but make good wages while doing so. The instruction begins at the beginning of the trade, and when a student finishes the schooling, he Is ready for a permanent place in a commercial foundry, with many places of employment open to him. The school occupies a SIO,OOO building of brick and steel, which was built for the purposes of the department.

A department of the Institute that Is In Immediate prospect Is a school for training hotel stewards and chefs, and It la being promoted by the National Stewards' Association. This organization is raising a fund of $200,000 with which to erect and equip a large building on the institute grounds, where It will train stewards and other heads of departments for the hotels of tbs United States. Good progress has been made with this project and the cornerstone of the building will probably be laid this fall. The Institute Is broedly philanthropic. It was not founded for the purpose of paying dividends to the men who have pushed its cause, but it la doing a unique work, one that is far-reaching In Its effects. It is more on the order of a Y. M. C. A. or similar organization, which does not strive to show a profit or even to be self-supporting, but bends its energies to the end of helping young men help themselves. There is every Indication that as the manufacturing Interests of the United States expand trade schools on the order of Winona Technical Institute wilt grow largely in enrollment and will year after year prove their worth 1o the young men who receive their Instruction in such a school and to the business men and associations who help to foster the institutions. Since it ia a pioneer in this field of education, setting an example for almilar schools to follow, the signs indicate that coming year* will develop the Winona Institute into one of the wonders of the industrial life In this country.

REV. JONES' PRESENTATION.

The Hon. Charles V. D. Jolme, judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Camden county, N. J., contributed the following story to a number Which had been told at a meeting of the Historical Society, relating to the confusion of ideas which sometimes resulted from an. effort of the primitive mind to grasp abstract ideas: “During war times,’’ said the judge, "the city of Trenton, where I then lived, was a red-hot abolition town, and those who did not fight devoted their time at home to patriotic declamation.

“Among the most violent of these was an old fellow whom we called “Major Howard.’ - The colonel was less bitter against the threatened severing of the Ulon than he was about the wrongs of the black man, and the negroes for miles around looked upon the old abolitionist as their potent saviour, feelingly firmly convinced that it was through his oratorical efforts that the war had been begun and was maintained.

“A ‘monster mass meeting’ and torchlight parade was planned in honor of their champion, who was apprised of the movement and promised to review the proposed parade from the rorch of his home. “The evening of the celebration arrived, the brigade marched through the town and halted before the colonel’s home. The Rev. Jefferson Obdike Jones had been coached in his presentation speech by a then prominent Trenton jurist, who wgs a notorious wag, and he proceeded with it as follows:

“ ‘Cqlonel Howard, we am overcome wid mortification at de ignominiousness ob dis yere ’casion. Yo’ wellknown and insidious pusillanimity towards de membahs ob our race am notoriously cognizant whereber de breast of man an’ incinerate by de predelicitions ob inglorious freedom. Dis am a most monotoneous occasion; we am'ambigious to put ourselbs on record as prescribing our depreciation ob yo’ efforts on our behalf; we feel dat yo’ am one wid us in de immortal sentiments ob life, liberty an’ de pursuit ob happiness, an’ we know dat, aldough yo’ skin am white, at haht yo’ are as black as we are.’ “This was as far as he ever got. The cheers and huzzas of the spectators drowned the rest. The colonel executed a war dance on his veranda and finally retreated, hut he never heard the last of the address ob presentation.’’’—Philadelphia Times.

The Ghost of a Famous Town.

Virginia City is indeed a strange town —a living skeleton. In the height of its opulence it boasted a population of thirty thousand. To-day there are lese than one-tenth than many, dilapidation and ruin are seen on every hand. The chief streets terrace along a great hillside. Farther up the slope are wastes of sagebrush growing In stunted clumps that half hide the earth with their gray twigß and foliage. Down below is a valley where the mines have dumped vast heaps of waste. The entire region is a wild upheaval of hills, and around the horizon are seen ranges of snowy-top-ped mountains. The only trees are an occasional gnarled scrub pine or dwarf cedar a few feet high. Formerly scrub pines of fair size were plentiful on the hills;"but they were practically all used for firewood long years ago. After they were gone some Chinamen ran a woody&rd and sold pine roots. Probably one hundred and fifty donkeys were engaged In tolling about the uplands and bringing in the stumps and roots of the old scrub pines. This material, too, was exhausted presently, and now the fuel comes by train. The town streets are rough and dirty, and as I walked about I was constantly encountering old tin cans and getting my feet tangled up in wires from the baled bay. Buildings in good repair are rarities. There are tottering fences and ragged walls and broken roofs and smashed glass, and many windows and doors are boarded up. The search for gold has resulted in tearing the country all to pieces. Everywhere the hills are dotted with prospectors’ holes. From any height you can see dozens —perhaps hundreds They suggest the burrowing of woodchucks or prairie dogs. The region along the Comstock lode abounds too In deserted shafts. Usually the spots where had been the buildings and the machinery for working the abandoned mines are now only marked by great dumps of waste, with possibly a few immense foundation stones and irons. Two miles from Virginia City is the village of Gold Hill, which. If anything, is deader than its neighbor. There Is the same dilapidation and wreckage, and the same canting wall* and neglect of repairs. On the borders of this hamlet I met a Scotchman who affirmed that his cabin wae the oldest dwelling in the region. The main part contained a single room but there was a !ean-to at the rear, and a little cave ran back under the hill.
