Don’t Suffer with Rheumatism---Take Paine’s Celery Compound, ‘The common sense of the people has long refused to belfeve that rheumatism und neuralgia were lseases hopeless of cure Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of Durt- mouth College, bas corfirmed their bellef. Ther> fs an absolute specitic for both of these diseases fn Pains’s celery compound. Thousands of men and women are every year entirely freed from these two torturing disorders by Paine's celery compound. Neuralgia pain affects first one part of the body and then another. Nature's restorer, sleep, 1 scught in vain, and Ufe’s ordinary duties becom: burdens too heavy to te borne. In this conditlo: of sleeplessness nature's call for rest must be r gerded. If unhecded, serious consequences are Iik« ly to ensue. The nerves must be built up by + proper nerve food. There is nothing equal t Paine’s celery compound. ‘The body is not a machine which simply wears out after a certain number of years, but a vital organism having the power -of revivifying itself— capable of being hard worked, but demanding fre- quent times of recuperation In sleep. ‘To quickly furnish a fresh and abundant supply of nutriment for every tissue of the body is the purpose for’ walch Paine’s celery compound was first prepared. This rapid production of fresh pervous energy and pure blood was the one endeavor of Prof. Edward E. Phelps’ long study of the cause of nervous exhaustion. ‘The result of his life work was Puine's celer compound, that remarkable remedy that permanent- ly and speedily cures disease. It is the greatest herve 1¢gulator and blood purifler of this present century. For men ard women cut of health, Paine’s celery -ompound should be tried without fail. It has nent health in place of sickness in thousands of exes that seemed hopeless. ‘The fact that this is the season when rheumatism ost painfully shows itself makes the following ‘mmunieation from Mr. J. M. Toblas of South do aha, eb., of special interest. Mr. Tobias “rites: “I suffered for years with rheumatism in the Joints of my hands and arms, so that I could per- form my work oply with the greatest difficulty. 1 used ull kinds ef medicines without result.

Prof. Huntington and Prof. Hodgkins Speak of Their Specialties—Build- ing a Complete Structure. Two papers of much more than usual in- terest were read at the opening of the Graduate School of Columbian University and the Corcoran Scientific School. The Graduate School was opened by a paper by Prof. Huntington, upon the. “Importance of the Studies of the Greek and Latin Classics.” As the venerated and silver- haired professor entered the room a stu- dent remarked to a citizen, “The students don’t like Prof. Huntington.” “Why not?” asked the citizen in amazement. “Because they all love him,” was the answer. The ssor's paper had much of the elegance ‘tion which he claimed for his favorite Greek. A part was as follows: In general, the two languages have equal claims to our at- tention—the Latin a stronger claim, on the ground that it affords, in some respects, a better preparation for the study of our own and other modern tongues; but the Greek a far stronger claim on the ground that it is a better discipline of the judgment, of the power of discrimination, and of ‘the taste, and that its literature is character- ized by greater freshness, originality, beauty and power. y It is not possible that the guardians 6f the greatest universities in the civilized world, after the most thorough examina- tion of the real value of classical study as a means of youthful discipline, would, age after age even till now, have given it so large a space in our courses of liberal training if any other study could have been reasonably substituted in its place. We must remember that the two grand ends of university, as well of collegiate, education are to draw out and cultivate the faculties of the mind, and to store the mind with knowledge; and that the first end, that of discipline, has been regarded as more fundamental and important in academic training than the second. The profesor then showed under several heads why the discipline derived from the classics could be obtained from no other studies, and that the classics claim our at- tention’ not only as a means of discipline, but also of positive knowledge. The classics, he said, give the knowledge of the highest civilization of the ancient world—of what men in their best estate, in olden times, were; of what they did, and of what they did for us; what the sources in the far-off past were from which our arts, literature, philosophy, law, social order and civilization were diffused over the modern world. Higher Mathematics. The opening address for the Corcoran Scientific School was upon “The Study of Higher Mathematics,” made by Dr. Hodg- kins, who, as a student remarked, was the professor who “did a heap of work, but not with his mouth.” The size of the :.udience and the hearty round of applause that greeted him testified to his popularity. Part of the address was as follows: The conclusion is sometimes drawn that higher mathematics consist of subjects useless in themselves, barren of applica- tions and merely wasteful of intellect and energy. This conclusion is unsupported by history. Analytic geometry and calculus, at one time the higher mathematics, are now of constant use and wide application. In general it may be said that the practi- cal of today was the theoretical of yester- day; in like manner will not the theoretical of today be the practical of tomorrow? We must prepare ourselves for more than the knowledge of today. We must be ready to understand and to utilize the knowledge of tomorrow. This is one view we must hold of all education. Knowledge is not stationary. We have not yet reached Its top, or sounded its bottom, or meas- ured its-extent. When we say that educa- tion must be practical we do not mean that it must be such as to enable us to earn, at the earliest possible moment, a few dollars, to make ourselves self-sup- porting. That is opposed to the business practice of the most successful merchants of the day. The engineer or scientist who would be successful must be like the great merchant, ready to compete with the best in his profession. Large successes can come only from large fnvestments. Condi*ions change, and we must be ready to respond. More than that, we must be ready to force the change. But higher learning must not be sought merely because of its possible applications, but for its own sake. The criticism that the courses of study in our scientific schools are too theoretical rarely comes from men who have reached the highest positions in scientific and professional ranks; but it does come from the men who have failed to reach them; and have failed, often, because of their lack of the very knowledge they condemn as usefess. As an engineer never fails to build his struct- ure stronger than ‘his estimated load, so the student should have a factor of safety in his education. In tall buildings the strength comes from the inner frame- work of steel, and not from the visible stone or brick. This inner strength of steel is the fit analogue of that strength of higher mathematics that givés definite form to many branches of science. “The most fascinating five cents’ worth on carth."’—Boston Pos!

Cc., MASS. it BOSTON, as sO aa LONDON’S UNDERGROUND ROADS. Unprofitable ap Investments and Dis- agreeable Means of Transit. From the Chicago Herald. John Fowler, with a small syndicate as his backers, ~§own forty-three years ago an undergrpund line of railway from Paddington statio# of the Great Western railway to a poibt.near King’s Cross of the Great Northern, thus joining those two great streams of fic. It was not, how- ever, until twenty #ears later that the real basis of the pre¥éft system was laid down by the Metropolitan Railway Company. This was what is now known as the “inner circle.” Some time afterward the Metro- politan District Railway Company was formed and the scheme then became of a more comprehensive character. Neither of these companies have benefited their share- holders to any &ppreciable degree. The Metropolitan commenced paying 5 per cent dividend, but this dwindled down to 2 7-8 in 1889, and has remained about that figure since. The Metropolitan District Company never paid anything but a fraction, and since 1883 has paid no dividend whatever. The nominal capital of the Metropolitan is 358,125, the number of miles in work being thirty-eight. The gross receipts average $3,000,400, and the net receipts $1,964,000. The working expenses per mile amount to $1,500,000, while the revenue per mile is $91,170. As for the District Company, its nominal capital is only $36,570, and its length of way nineteen mites. Its gross receipts average $1,985,000, and its net re- ceipts $1,036,000. ‘The discomforts and dangers of this means of Iccomotion can never be estimated by any one who has not made a trip on the underground. At such central stations as Gower street, where the traffic is great and the rails are laid down more than thirty feet below the earth's surface, it is im- possible to breathe without ill effects. There is no adequate outlet for the volumes of sulphurous smoke, which pour from the tunnels as the trains pass through, and ac- cordingly the station is filled with noxious fumes. Even in the hottest weather it is better to keep the windows of the railway carriages closed, but when the carriage is crowded, as at certain times of the day it always is, to excess, this is obviously im- Possible. Leading medical experts have given it as their distinct opinion that the underground railways have been directly the cause of a large number of new dis- ez Those who constantly use the ‘“‘un- derground,” for so the lines of both com- panies are familiarly alluded to, develop ailments of the heart or lungs, while the eyes also frequently become seriously af- fected. To the stranger the effect of a journey on either the Metropolitan or Dis- trict railway is singularly painful; it pro- duces headache and nausea, and affects the chest and lungs in a marked degree. To a stranger, the difficulties of travel by the “underground” are almost insuperable. The lines are laid down in circles—thus there are an inner, a middle and an outer circle. The inner circle embraces the city proper, and runs from Aldgate round to Aldgate again. But it is on the outer circle that the uninitiated traveler is most likely to go wrong. He may be within five or ten minutes’ walk of the poini he desires to arrive at, and not knowing this, he goes to the Metropolitan or District railway and asks if he can book for such and such a station. The clerk always replies that he can, and the unlucky wight is put on board a train which will carry him round the whole Metropolitan area and take an hour in the doing of it. ——+e+____ A DOG’S PASSION FOR DOLLS. He Finally Developed Tendencies of a Piratical Character. From the St. Jumes’ Gazette. The latest sensftion in Birmingham is the doll-snatching dog. The animal is the Property of a lady who resides at Small Heath, and some:time ago one of her little girls was very fond of inducing the dog to carry her doll,and the animal acquired auite a passion tor relieving the child of her precious charge The dog wauld carry the doll about for ‘hours, and oftentimes take it to his kernel and Me down beside it for the greater part of the day. He never harmed the, doll, always gripping its clothes, and-onot defacing it in the slightest. Up to a certain point its ten- dencies were productive of unadulterated fun, and co popuiar did the dog become that the children of the neighborhood fre- quently came tovits owner’s house with the query, “Please, Mrs. —, can your dog come and take my doll a walk?” But by degrees the animal's healthy af- fection for dolls developed into an abso- lute passion, and now a more unpopular quadruped does: not exist in the whole suburb. Not content with carrying a doll when requested to do so, the animal com- menced to prowl about the neighborhood and forcibly deprive stray children of thelr treasured pets. Whenever and wherever he saw a doll in a child’s arms he would stealthily walk up to her, seize the prize and run off with it to his kennel. In a single day he has been known to bring four captives home, and the maternal in- dignation of the neighborhood is some- thing terrible to contemplate. If that dog does not mend his ways shortly his career will be prematurely closed. The animal should be engaged at Christmas time in the interest of the Children’s Hospital; he would soon provide dolls for all the’ in- mates. ———+e-_____ A Canine Globe Trotter. Tacoma Dispatch in Portland Oregonian. “Owney,” the postal clerks’ famous dog, who has traveled all over the United States, sails at 4 o'clock tomorrow on a trip around the world from Tacoma. Early in July Owney came to Tacoma and made a trip to Alaska, Returning he inspected a China steamer lying at the dock, and seemed much interested in it. This led to Assistant Postmaster Stockings making arrangements for him to gu around the world. He will go to Hong Kong on the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria as the guest of Captain John Panton. There Cap- tain Panton will put him aboard a Penin- sular end Oriental English mail steamer bound for London via India and Suez. Owney will thence be sent to New York and back to Tacoma. Owney is now fifteen years old. He started traveling from Al- bany, N. Y., many years ago. A postal clerk took a fancy to him and put about his neck a tag bearing the inscription: “Be kind to Owney Ever since he has been traveling with the postal clerks. He is now fat and lazy, and will probably die eventually of overfeeding, for the clerks vie with each other in taking good care of him. About his neck and attached to a large ring which goes with him are a hun- dred tags bearing names of various towns he has visited. A bushel of them have been sent to Washington, the ring being unloaded every little while. ———__+e+____—__ Broke the Bank at One Pliny. From the Mexican Herald.

The board of managers of the local Pres- byterian Alliance at their last meeting settled the preliminarles regarding the formal opening of the new Eckington Pres- byterian Sunday school building, as it is called, though really a church in size and appearance. It has been decided to not call a regular pastor for some time as yet, but if the attendance increases at such a rate as to render the insta!lation of a min- ister necessary one will be called in the early spring. The board of the alliance has decided to hold the opening exercises Noveniber 10, the anniversary of the organ- ization of the Sunday school. The com- mittee, headed by Mr. John W. Foster, who has been chosen president, will pre- pare the prograin for the occasion and which will include addresses by a number of the local Presbyterian divines. Sunday, however, the Sabbath school qwill take Possession of its new quarters without waiting for the opening exercises. At the date mentioned the nucleus of northeast Presbyterianism will also be celebrating its fifth anniversary, as on that date five years ago twelve persons assembled in the home of Mrs. Solon Kemon on New York avenue and debated about the advisability of form- ing a mission, the result in this discussion being that Mr. Irwin C. Linton of the local bar formed a Sunday school, with himself as superintendent. During nearly all of the five years the sessions of the Sunday school have been held in what was once an old blacksmith shop at the intersection of N street and New York avenue, but which since then has been considerably repaired, a frame additon having been built for the growing primary department and a brick wing for the adult Lible class. The school now numbers two hundred and fifty scholars and twelve teachers. In ad- dition to the regular organization of a Sabbath school Mr. Linton has succeeded in forming a Christian Endeavor Society, the officers of which were installed last Au- gust; a temperance society, with a large membership from all over Eckington and vicinity, and, in fact, all those accessories in the shape of societies which every well- organized church possesses. . It is not often that a single individual is responsible for the foundation of whai will ultimately be a church, but in this case it is to Mr. Linton more than any one else to whom the existence of the present bullding is due, he having given a large portion of all of his time to the work. Gothic Style. The alliance, in selecting the ground on which to erect the building, recognized the fact that Eckington is a fast-growing por- tion of the city, and so they purchased lots enough to allow of future expansion, pay- ing ten thousand dollars for a number of lots at the intersection of North Capitol and Q streets and Florida avenue. The church faces on Q street, but is located in the southeastern portion of the ground. The design is somewhat irregular, resem- bling in the ground plan an L with an octa- gon at the corner more than anything else. The whole structure is of the Gothic style of architecture, in red brick, buttresses of the same material running around the sides capped with gray stone. The L is, how- ever, reversed, the lower portion of it run- ning west instead of to the right, as is us- ually the case. A high pitched roof of slate covers the whole. The frontage is sixty feet, and the depth sixty-two, and at an angle formed by the two sides is the octa- gon, which is of considerable size, coming out nearly as far as the west wing. Abund- ant daylight is provided from the front face by a double Gothic window, six by eight, and a small rose window above it, both being placed under a half gable, which starts from the northeast corner and runs nearly to the center of the Q-street side. In the remainder of this front is located the main entrance, which is in the shape of a projecting vestibule, having small windows to the right and left of it. All the sashes are filled with cathedral glass. Entrance is also provided on the North Capitol street side by a small door at the top of a flight of steps. The Interior. The architect, Mr. H. A. Campbell, In designing the interior, has provided a par- ticularly well arranged building, and just suited to the purposes for which the build- ing is intended. It is so arranged that by means of rolling partitions the whole floor space can be thrown from separate class rooms into one auditorium, and when used in this manner, will seat about four hun- dred persons, tke seats being arranged in a semi-circular form. In the north wing is the Bible class recom, and that at the west side the primary department. At the northeast corner of the main auditorium is the plat- form, the chairs circling around x. _ entire roof of open work, oiled pine, is ported principally by a large steel ‘colunmey from which five trusses of wood spring out to the sides, there being in all seven trusses. The roof is ceiled and panelled, and the walls of sand-finished plaster. Gas light Is obtain- ed by a number of small chandeliers, and reat from a furnace under the north wing in a small cellar. The total cost of the building is nearly five thousand dollars, which has been expended under the d!rection of the architect, Mr. Campbell, as superin- tendent of construction, and Samuel J. Pres- cott, the contractor and builder. —————— How Gold is Exported. From the Wall Street News. Two or more million dollars of gold with- drawn .from the United States subtreas- ury and put aboard steamers for ship- ment to Europe in one day sounds like a pretty big undertaking to persous outside of Wall street, yet it is but a few hours’ labor to the men who make handling gold their business, and the whole transaction is a very simple one. When a banker, or coffee merchant, or whoever it may be, determines to send gold abroad to meet his obligations, instead of buying bills of exchange, he accumulates the amount he intends to ship in currency in the form of greenbacks, treasury notes or gold certificates, and presents them at the subtreasury. The government is bound to maintain its credit, much as it may dis- like to see the gold go, and the treasury officials turn over the equivalent of the currency presented in gold coin at short notice. When the gold is handed to the shipper all government responsibility ceases. The yellow metal is put in canvas bags and carted to a cooper, whose specialty is making kegs for shipping gold. The gold kegs are about eighteen inches high, and ten inches in diameter at the center. ‘They are made of oak, and are firmly strapped with iron hoops. The packing of a keg of gold is an easy matter to the “gold cooper.” A keg will hold $50,000 of gold coin, and the cooper will have a million dollars of it all packed ready for shipment in an hour's time. Each keg weighs 225 pounds, and is securely sealed. It is then ready for the truckman, who takes it to the steamer. —+—__+e+___ He Promised Nothing. From Tid Bits.

A Cable Di ur Around a Range Seventy-Five Miles Long. From the San Franciseo Chronicle. There exists in the great ccean between Australia and New Caledonia a range of mighty submarine mountains, whose lime- stone tops rise within 300 fathoms of the surface. The discovery of these peaks, ris- ing sheer 7,500 feet from the bottom of the deep sea, was made by the men who have just finished l:ying the first section of the trans-Pacifie cable. Sir Audley Coote, who was at the head of the cable expedition, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Ala- meda from Sydney, New South Wales. He said: “The sea from Australia to New Caledo- nia has been surveyed by a British and by an American vessel. Your Albatross went there and did some very gcod work, but, as it happened, both this expedition and the other missed the strange feature of the ocean that I can describe. We had antici- pated no great difficulty in laying the cable section, and did not find any until suddenly the bottom of the ocean began to rise. We were forced to cut the cable there in mid- ocean and to buoy up the ends. It was then found that what had hindered us was a range of submarine mourtains. “There is nothing else like this in the world that I know of. The mountains rise in abrupt peaks, and are hard limestone and granite. By careful measurement we found that the peaks were more than 7,000 feet on the average, and the highest of them 7,500 feet from the bottom of the ocean. Less than 300 fathoms from the surface of the water we found the tops of the highest motntains. The range extends for nearly seventy-five miles—that is, meas- uring from the extreme northerly to the extreme southerly point. To lay the cable around this range took forty-eight miles more of cable than we had ccunted on. We had to go around the peaks as a railroad would go around a mountain on land:” —_+-0+___ The Evening Star for the full time the mystery story, “When the Wan Was Over,” is running, including back numbers, wilh be sent, postpaid, to out-of-town sub- scribers for 60 cents.

The girl stu- dents were drawing fom life a study of the “Dancing Faun.” A good-looking Italian boy was the model, and as he assumed the requisite pose, his face became wreathed in smiles. He was gazing directly at the class, and each girl imagined that the smile was directed at her in particular. “How very embarrassing,” said a Brook- lyn girl. “I wish to goodness he wouldn't grin at me.” In spite of the indignant glances cast at him, the son of Italy continued to smile at the blushing girls. Presently a stolid Ger- man girl looked up and noticed the smile —— she imagined was aimed directly at er. “You schtop dot schmiling. We don’t want you to schmile. at us,” she exclaimed. The boy's figure instantly straightened up, and he stood before the class the very impersonation of offended dignity, as he sa‘d: “Ladies, I no smile at any one. I pose before you us ze ‘Dancing Faun.’ Ze smile oes wiz ze pose.” A COMMON CAUSEOPSICK ESS In Warm Weather Nothing So Dan- gtrous as Decayed Foods. Every one knows or ought to know that decayed foods sre polsonous. Boards of health seek to pre- vent their sale. We now have in mind the results which follow tha decay and decomposition of foods after they have been eaten, for unless digestion occurs within a reasonzble time after our meals, decomposition sets in.
