The very foundalioi: of the blood is diseased, and until it h £ untied and made strong, those who arc urn with a scrofulous tendency cannot have the blessing of robust health. Clavsland, O., 132 Brownell St. I inherited Scrofula from my ancestry and this means, of course, weak, impure blood and a run-down, debilitated con dition of the system. Treatment of phy sicians did not do me anything like tne f lood S. S. S. did last winter when I took t. It promotes appetite and digestion ' uih' and energy, builds ut; the generalliealth in every way, and in addition to being an excellent blood pu rifier it adds to Its success as a remedy for Scrofula. It did more for me than anything I have used, and with pleas ure I recommend it. S. S. 8. completely cured me of this blighting disease. MRS. LOUISIS COHEN, S. S. S., the king of blood purifiers, is the medicine that is required, because il changes the quality of the blood by cleansing it of all poisons and impurities, building it up and strengthening the en tire system. When fv S. S. hat restored the blood to a healthy condition and forced out the scrofulous deposits, ther is a sure return to health.

How They Study American Coal Mining Methods. PLAK TO USE THEM DI MANCHURIA Bleven Son* of Nippon Are Employ ed In the Kiln,, orth Colliery In t’ennaylvnnla—Other* In the Weat LenrnliiK to Extrmet and Refine the Urea—They Make Good Workmen. The Imperial university of Tokyo Is educating the instructors of Its technic al departments In American work shops, fields and mines. The recent ac cident In the Ellsworth colliery in Washington county, Pa., which result ed in the death of Masugori Niigata, cut short the career of one of the mi kado's most energetic educators, says the Labor World. The young man went to Ellsworth, Pa., fresh from college with a view of acquiring a practical knowledge of coal mining and intend ed returning to his native land within two years to instruct his countrymen in the American methods of extracting coal and ores from native mineral de posits. Eleven sous of Nippon are now em ployed at the Ellsworth mine and will remain despite the fact that their lead er and head instructor has met misfor tune and his body has been reduced to ashes and sent back home to be scat tered among the rose beds that over look the China sea. The remaining Japanese miners went to Ellsworth as students and will pursue their practi cal studies. These young men form only one of the many Isolated colonies of Japanese who are in America on similar errands. In the lead and copper mines of the west, In the golden harvest fields of the [irairie states and on the cattle randi es of Texas and throughout the Kooky mountains are little brown men who are studying the trades and occupa tions by which the western people have attained supremacy In the mining world and in agriculture. The Japanese men arrived at Ells’ worth about a year ago after spending a short time touring the country. They were looking for an opportunity to study mining along the lines best adapted to developing the coal mines of the far east. In Mongolia the system of sinking shafts is unknown, and for this reason there are thousands of square miles of rich fuel territory which has never been developed. Ja pan’s ambitions necessitate her looking for fuel, consequently she will be obliged to open up the latent fields of Manchuria. To glean the mineral wealth of north China American meth ods of mining must be resorted to, and for this reason the Japanese govern ment sent her young men to Ellsworth to learn the occidental system of min ing by actual experience with the pick and shovel and blasting Iron. When a solitary Japanese wandered into the town of Ellsworth about seven months ago and asked for employment his arrival did not excite suspicion, and he was put to work. About three months ago his comrades turned up. All were put to work, and they showed a natural aptitude for the wort, and lu a short time they became expert at their task. They showed superior In telligence to the average miner and are regarded ns vastly superior In their workmanship when compared with the Italians and Hungarians who are em ployed at tlie Ellsworth mines by the hundreds. The oriental miners divided into two squads. Four took lioard with an Eng lish speaking family in a house In tty? company town designated ns "house No. 19, H row.’’ The ithers took a house of their own at No. 75 of the same row. They have their own native cook and keep bachelor quarters in lib eral fashion. The ambitions of the Japanese, their diligent attention to stfldy and the reg ularity of their habits place them lu striking contrast with their fellow min ers from central Europe. The Japa nese hold aloof from the "dagoes" and "hunklej” and behave lu the most dig nified manner toward the officials of the company. They have no Saturday uig'it sprees, no holidays and no festive gatherings in the coal company’s tap- room. I’ ey cat plain food, and their bills at the grocery and meat shop are exceedingly low. Nevertheless the orientals do not stick up for their native customs. They use the knife and fork in eating, and those who live at the boarding house show a preference for American dishes. The little white cottage on the hill occupied, as the miners say, as the “Japanese hotel,” is quaint In the curi ous combination of oriental manners with American furniture. It seems rather odd at first glance to see Shlmo- ba, the cook, sitting crosslogged on the floor and hulling peas In a dish on a chair at his side. Neither Is it sur prising to see all manner of things piled on the bedstead while the bed ding Is spread on the matting. Nagnta was the only member of the colony who could speak English flu ently. The others have but a smatter ing of the king’s tongue and under stand little of American Idioms. Add ed to this, they are reticent regarding their personal affairs and the officers of the company and their fellow* work men gained but little knowledge of their purpose In trying coal mining.

Featxre of Cathedral of St. Joha Without Ecelealaatlcal Precedent. It Is planned to make the new Cathe dral of St. John the Divine, now In process of erection at Mornlngside heights, New York, a church represent ative on American soil of all the na tions that have contributed their peo ple to the upbuilding of the United States. The plan for extending In a single great edifice opportunities for foreign born worshipers of many modes of speech to attend services conducted in their native tongues is entirely wMthout precedent In ecclesi astical annals. That such opportunities may exist the trustees of the Cathedral of St John the Divine have made the seven chapels of the church national sanctu aries where alien Christians may wor ship in their own languages. One has been completed already and Is popular ly called the Belmont chapel from the fact that the well known New York banker, August Belmont, gave $100,000 for Its erection lu memory of his moth er. Another, on which work Is begin ning, will be u memorial to Mary Rhinelander King and is the gift of Mrs. Edward King of New York and Newport. The latter Is to be called the Scot's chapel and dedicated in the name of St. Columbia, being the chap el of the British rite. The Belmont memorial is officially designated the chapel of the oriental rite, dedicated to tne Holy Name and Is to he called in common use St. Sa viour's chapel. It Is the easternmost of the seven, and It was therefore con- side, ed most appropriate to give It the name and- dedication decided upon. With the rise of marlolatry, as theolo gians call the worship of the Virgin Mary. It became the custom In the mid dle ages to add a "lady chapel" to Ihe eastern end of all large churches, and so universal did this custom become that a cathedral without such a sanc tuary is not now regarded as complete. The title “lady chapel" did not seem appropriate, however, for any portion of a Protestant cathedral built after llio Reformation. • Tin* seven chapels, which are to be built ns fast as the funds for them are forthcoming, will stand about the choir of the cathedral in a semicircle. Each will be a little church large enough for about a hundred persons, and the group will lie separated from the rest of the edifice by a corridor, from which they ^vill be entered. The five remaining structures are to he the Swedes chapel, that of the Scandina vian rite; the Holland chapel, that of the German rite: the Italian chapel, the Huguenot chapel and the chapel of the Mozarahic rite, to be called the Spanish chapel.

MONUMENT TO A HORSE. Maaalve Granite Flarure In Memory of Portland <Me.) Man’a Pet Steed. John II. Carroll, who removed to Gor ham, Me., several years ago and built a handsome residence, is Uie only liv ing member of one of Portland’s dis tinguished families, says the Portland (Me.) Express. In the center of a tri angular piece of land opposite Mr. Car- roll’s house there has recently been erected a monument that bus attracted much attention. A massive block of granite twelve feet In length forms the base uftpn which rests a handsome upper stone, one side of which bears these words: “A loving and faithful friend, Prince.” On the other side Is the full figure of a horse. Prince had been owned by his mas ter eTgbteou years, and the friendship between them was deep and sincere. John Heald of Portland sold Prince to Mr. Carroll when he was six years old, and at first he was so high spirited that he was almost unmanageable, and his new master feared that he would not be able to keep him. Mr. Heald urged him to give the handsome crea ture a longer trial. Kindness was the key that won the heart of Prince, and Mr. Carroll -soon found that by gentle treatment he could do anything with the noble beast. Prince knew his mas ter’s footstep, and when he heard him approach the stable he would whinny and stamp with Joy. IT IS WILKES-BARRE NOW. Name of Pennsylvania City Changed to Pleaae Cltlaena. President Roosevelt has ordered that hereafter the name of the city of Wilkesbarre shall be spelled "Wilkes- Barre,” with a hyphen and a capital B, says a special dispatch to the New York Herald. When Mr. Roosevelt was at Wilkes- bnrre on Aug. 10 Mayor Klrkendflll and Bishop Hoban told him residents of the city objected to an arbitrary de cision of the postoffice department made some years ago to spell It with out a hyphen and with a small B— “Wilkesbarre.” He Inquired about the city’s history, and, learning it had been named after Colonel Wilkes and Colonel Barre, he promised to have the official spelling changed to the original form. Mayor Kirkendall received a letter from the president recently announc ing that he had ordered the postofflee department to make the change. Alllgnlora n* Presents. Harry Stevens of Sanford, Fla., who has recently been visiting friends at Ashley, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., brought with him from the south twelve novel presents, says the Philadelphia Press. They are twelve small alligators, and he has distributed them to Ashley 1 friends. The alligators are about a foot long, and Sanford caught them In the Florida marshes. They often grow to a length of seventeen or eighteen j feet and when small are worth $5 each. While they are all right now when they are small, the friends who have receiv ed them are wondering what they will do with them when they grew large.
